Thursday Briefing: An impeachment motion in South Korea Inbox The New York Times Unsubscribe Wed, Dec 4, 11:00 PM (7 hours ago) to me View in browser|nytimes.com Ad Morning Briefing: Asia Pacific Edition December 5, 2024 Author Headshot By Gaya Gupta Good morning. We’re covering an impeachment motion in South Korea and France’s prime minister failing a no-confidence vote. Plus, what’s your most cherished holiday tradition?

Lee/The New York Times South Korea’s president is facing an impeachment vote Members of South Korea’s political opposition yesterday moved to impeach President Yoon Suk Yeol. The motion could be put to a vote as early as tomorrow, and comes after his declaration of martial law on Tuesday ended in spectacular failure. Several opposition parties filed the impeachment motion together. If the vote is successful, Yoon would be suspended from office and Prime Minister Han Duck-soo would become the interim president. Yoon’s fate would then go to the Constitutional Court, where the justices could uphold the impeachment and remove him from office, or reject it and reinstate him. Here’s how the process could unfold. Collateral damage: Yoon’s defense minister, chief of staff and other top aides had tendered their resignations, South Korean news media reported. Yoon will address the nation today, according to an official familiar with his plans. Context: Yoon’s surprise declaration of martial law on Tuesday was the first effort to impose military rule in more than four decades. The audacious move was an attempt to break a gridlock in government that has hobbled Yoon’s nearly three years in power. Several people in suits walk down a hallway carpeted in red.

Sarah Meyssonnier/Reuters France’s prime minister lost a no-confidence vote French lawmakers passed a no-confidence measure against Prime Minister Michel Barnier and his cabinet yesterday, sending France into a fresh spasm of political turmoil. Barnier is expected to resign soon. France’s lower house of Parliament passed the measure with 331 votes — well above the required majority of 288 votes — after Marine Le Pen’s far-right National Rally joined the chamber’s leftist coalition. The move leaves France without a clear path to a new budget and threatens to further unsettle credit markets. It could also create a wider opening for the far right. What’s next: Barnier is likely to remain as a caretaker until President Emmanuel Macron names a new prime minister, but weeks of instability are on the horizon. Context: It was the first successful no-confidence vote in France in over 60 years, making Barnier’s three-month-old government the shortest-tenured in the history of France’s Fifth Republic.

Haiyun Jiang for The New York Times Senators waver on Hegseth for defense secretary A small but pivotal group of Republican senators expressed concern yesterday about Pete Hegseth, President-elect Donald Trump’s pick to be defense secretary. Hegseth has been accused of sexual assault, public drunkenness and mismanagement while running veterans’ nonprofits. “Some of these articles are very disturbing,” Senator Lindsey Graham, one of Trump’s closest allies in Congress, told reporters. “He obviously has a chance to defend himself here, but, you know, some of this stuff is going to be difficult.” Trump yesterday named a senior counselor for trade and manufacturing and a possible overseer of NASA. Here are his latest picks. What’s your most cherished holiday tradition? For many of us, the holidays are full of traditions. Which ones are you most looking forward to this year?

Dear Amarjeet Ji,

We are excited to spotlight three transformative projects in Panjab, made possible by the unwavering support of our community of donors. Your generosity is driving real change and uplifting countless lives.

Kunwar Amritbir Singh

1Fitness Centres: Fighting Drugs and Building Future Leaders

To combat the drug menace plaguing Panjab, our youth icon Kunwar Amritbir Singh has launched a campaign to establish fitness centres in villages across the region. Drawing inspiration from his own remarkable fitness journey and world record achievements, including breaking Bruce Lee’s Guinness World Record for the most push-ups in one minute, Kunwar Amritbir Singh is inspiring young people to embrace fitness as a lifestyle and become contributing members of society. Our teams also offer tracksuits to all who join these centres. The number of fitness centres has rapidly grown to 14. Your support is essential to ensure the continued expansion and success of these centres, helping to steer our youth away from drugs and towards healthier lives.

2. Empowering the Sikligar Sikhs

The Sikligar Sikhs, known for their historical contributions in serving Sikh Gurus face significant challenges today. Traditionally ironsmiths who crafted and polished weapons, they were bestowed the title of “Sikligar,” meaning ‘polisher of weapons,’ by Guru Gobind Singh Ji, the tenth Sikh Guru. Today, they are marginalized, living in poverty and often lacking access to basic social services. Our team in Panjab is actively working to provide them with suitable employment opportunities by engaging with local industries. Recently, we arranged a visit for a group of 200 Sikligar Sikhs to Darbar Sahib in Amritsar, ensuring they had the necessary accommodations and initiating talks with industries for employment opportunities. UNITED SIKHS Director Devinder Singh emphasizes our collective responsibility to support this community. Your contributions are vital in helping us continue this crucial work and ensure the Sikligar Sikhs lead respectable and dignified lives.

3. Project Kirti: A Path to Self-Reliance

Our Kirti Project continues to offer hope for those seeking economic self-reliance. In Ludhiana, our team assisted Jagjit Singh by providing a packaging machine to help him start his journey of self-employment. After learning about the Kirti Project, Jagjit Singh reached out for assistance in setting up and selling his household cleaning products. Our team helped him acquire the necessary equipment. Now, he procures raw materials and packages his products, earning a dignified living for himself and his family. Similarly, we continue to offer e-rickshaws, sewing machines and other items to enterprising boys and girls, empowering them to become financially independent. 

Your constant support is empowering numerous families to achieve respectable livelihoods.

These projects are just a few examples of the impactful work being carried out in Panjab, thanks to your generosity. We are immensely grateful for your support, which makes these transformative initiatives possible.

Please continue to support our efforts in Panjab.
