S Korea anti-corruption agency asks police to execute Yoon's arrest warrant
"South Korea's anti-corruption agency has asked the police to take over enforcing the arrest warrant for impeached President Yoon Suk-yeol. This comes after a standoff with Yoon's presidential security service prevented his detention last week.
Officials confirmed the discussions last week, just hours before the one-week warrant for Yoon's detention was set to expire.
The Corruption Investigation Office for High-Ranking Officials is likely to seek a new warrant to extend the detention window, police said, adding that they are currently reviewing the agency's request. "

Musk does a U-turn on support for UK's anti-immigration party leader
"Elon Musk seems to have reversed his stance on Nigel Farage, leader of the anti-immigration Reform UK party, after a public disagreement with the former Brexit figurehead.
On Sunday, Musk posted on X that the Reform Party needs a new leader because Farage lacks what it takes.
Farage had recently claimed he was in talks with Musk about a significant donation to his party, which had split the right-wing vote and helped Labour win July's general election.
But things soured after Musk voiced support for jailed British extremist agitator Tommy Robinson, a move Farage publicly criticised."
