South Korean President Park Geun-hye impeached
South Korea's Parliament on Friday voted 234-56 in favour of impeaching President Park Geun-hye, following weeks of protests over her involvement in an influence-peddling scandal. Prime Minister Hwang Kyo-ahn will be acting president until the court delivers a ruling. Geun-hye will be the first democratically elected President of South Korea to be impeached.
