Calls are growing for South Korea' president to be removed from power after he declared martial law - and then lifted it hours later. It was the first time in 50 years martial law had been declared but didn't last long, after MPs voted unanimously to reverse Yoon Suk Yeol's decision. The dramatic U-turn has led to widespread outcry - from both politicians and people on the streets. Asia correspondent Erin Hale spoke to Lisa Owen.
