After various dramas, the motion to impeach the president of South Korea has been passed. After the impeachment proposal for the second time, the South Korean parliament voted for and against the impeachment today on Saturday. A majority of lawmakers in the country's parliament voted to impeach President Yoon on Saturday.

Earlier on December 7, the main opposition Democratic Party (DP) tried to impeach Yeol for the first time on the issue of martial law.

After his military rule was imposed, people took to the streets to demand his impeachment. The impeachment vote was held in the opposition-controlled parliament, ignoring the army and police. But he went down in that vote. But this time it was not his last defense.

South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol released a statement after the impeachment motion was passed. In the statement he said, "I am temporarily ending my journey."

He also said, 'Despite the end of the journey, the future journey that I started for the last two and a half years will never stop. I will never give up.

I will accept all your criticism, praise and support and will give my best for the country in the end.'

Thousands of people took to the streets of Seoul to celebrate as news broke of the impeachment motion against South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol. Many are seen crying with happiness.

A 40-year-old resident said, 'I am very happy that the bill has been passed. It's a relief that we no longer have to take to the streets to protest the cold weather.

But the fight is not over. We know that we have to wait for the verdict of the court to finalize his impeachment. We will wait.'

US imposes new restrictions on AI chip exports

Image:  Semiconductors US President has imposed new restrictions on chips used in artificial intelligence (AI). As a result, it became more difficult for hostile countries including China and Russia to get advanced technology. Earlier, the US Department of Commerce imposed restrictions on the sale of two dozen semiconductor materials to China. Along with this, the sale of US technology to various Chinese companies has also been banned. New restrictions have been added this time. New regulations announced on Monday tighten controls on the export of AI chips. If this chip is to be exported or re-exported or supplied to any country, additional approval is required. However, this policy will be relaxed for friendly countries. The U.S. believes that if U.S.-made semiconductors fall into China's hands, China can use them to develop new weapons and artificial intelligence systems.  Source: AFP
