The South Korean President is facing a vote of confidence by the Korean parliament following his decision to call for martial law earlier this week. He apologised in a televised speech but said he would not stand down.

Also on the programme: the first ever defence chief at the European Commission has been appointed, and; we speak to the woman who became the face of female anger and protests in Italy.

Joining Paul Henley to discuss all this and more are Zoe Gardner, an independent researcher and campaigner on migration policy joining him in the studio, and Yannis Palaiologos in Athens, journalist with the daily newspaper Kathimerini and Inside Story, an investigative news online publication
