Calls to Impeach South Korea's President

BBC World Service - Business Matters, Calls to Impeach South Korea's President

Calls grow for Park Geun-Hye to step down over corruption allegations.

Pressure mounts on South Korea's President Park Geun-hye after her naming as a suspect in a widening corruption scandal.

Opposition parties are working toward launching impeachment proceedings against South Korean President Park Guen-hye, who has been named as a criminal suspect in a widening corruption scandal. Professor Hazel Smith, Director of the International Institute of Korean Studies at Cranfield University in the UK discusses why South Korean Presidents and corruption allegations have a long history.

Millions are set to be spent on Black Friday in the USA and around the world, but opinion is divided on whether the deals are all they are cracked up to be and whether the massive retail splurge is responsible. We hear from Kalle Lasn, an opponent of Black Friday and campaigner in a rival movement - Buy Nothing Day.

The BBC's North America editor Jon Sopel joins members of the Democrat party for some soul-searching after their shock election defeat to Donald Trump, and we hear why thousands of swimmers, and their teachers, could have been getting front crawl the wrong their entire lives.

Alex Ritson is joined throughout by former banker and consultant editor at the Economic Times in Delhi, Mythili Bhusnurmath, and Ralph Silva of the Silva Research Network in Toronto.
