Episode description

It’s been a week of high-stakes developments around the globe. In Gaza, a long-awaited ceasefire deal has been reached and is set to begin on Sunday, with plans to exchange hostages for prisoners in a bid for "sustainable calm." In South Korea, the dramatic arrest of President Yoon Suk Yeol unfolded amid accusations of insurrection. Meanwhile, in the US, TikTok's future hangs in the balance, driving users to a rival Chinese app as a court ruling edges the platform closer to a potential shutdown.

Produced by Gavin Lee, Luis Miguel Cabrera and Guillaume Gougeon.
