South Korean investigators suspend attempt to arrest Yoon Suk Yeol

South Korea's anti-corruption investigators are suspending their attempt to arrest impeached president Yoon Suk Yeol. They were denied entry by the presidential security services.

In the next hour, we'll take you to South Korea where police had entered the presidential compound to arrest Yoon Suk Yeol, but called off the attempt after supporters of the impeached president blocked the entrance and protested outside.

We'll also return to New Orleans, and hear from somebody who was metres away from the deadly vehicle attack on New Year's Day which left fourteen people dead.

In business we will hear about some disappointing results for Tesla, despite Elon Musk's close relationship with the incoming US president Donald trump.

In Mozambique, the number of those killed in post election protests has risen too, with many people fleeing to neighbouring Malawi.
