It's been an incredibly dramatic 24 hours in the South Korean capital of Seoul after the president President Yoon Suk Yeol declared martial law.
Two hours later the National Assembly passed a motion calling for the repeal of martial law despite armed soldiers trying to prevent politicians from entering the South Korean parliament.
President Yoon has since lifted martial law but large demonstrations are taking place with many calling on him to step down.
