Hello. Investigators in South Korea have scaled walls and cut through barbed wire to arrest the country's president, after he threw the country into chaos when he declared martial law last month. Elsewhere, BBC Verify analysis has found that almost 100 strikes have hit a "humanitarian zone" in Gaza where Israel had told people to go "for their safety". And in Dubai, a world champion slackliner who has completed a daring 100m-long walk between skyscrapers, says he still feels fear despite 15 years in the sport - you can see why below.

South Korea's impeached president arrested

Anti-corruption investigators in South Korea have scaled walls and cut through barbed wire to arrest the country's president on charges of insurrection - a crime punishable by life in prison or death. Last month, Yoon Suk Yeol plunged South Korea into political turmoil with his short-lived martial law declaration which he claimed was to protect the country from "anti-state" forces that sympathised with North Korea, but it soon became clear it was spurred by his own political troubles. In a video released just before his arrest, the defiant 64-year-old said he would comply with the investigation even though he was against it. Yoon has consistently maintained that the warrant for his arrest is not legally valid.

• Yoon Suk Yeol: Who is the gaffe-prone, impeached president who ran for power on an anti-feminist platform?

• Story of the arrest: The apprehension, which involved 3,000 police officers, was the second attempt to detain Yoon.

• How it all started: In the hours after Yoon declared martial law in December, here's how the BBC reported on the rapidly unfolding situation.

BEYOND THE HEADLINES

Almost 100 strikes hit Gaza 'humanitarian zone', BBC Verify analysis suggests

The area in Gaza that Israel's military has told people to go to "for their safety" has been hit by 97 strikes since May, BBC Verify analysis has revealed. Local media reports more than 550 people have been killed. The "humanitarian zone" was first established by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) in October 2023 to "keep innocent civilians out of harm's way". The densely populated area is estimated to have more than a million people living there, many of whom are living in tents, with limited infrastructure and access to aid. In a statement, the IDF said it was targeting Hamas fighters operating there and accused the group of violating international law while "exploiting" civilians as human shields and launching rockets from the area. 

And finally...

Three-time world champion slackliner Jaan Roose has completed a 100m-long highline in Dubai. The walk was set up at a height of 224m between the Jumeirah Emirates Towers. Roose admits that, despite slacklining for 15 years, he still feels fear - very understandably, as the footage shows.
