About This Episode
Political chaos reigned this week. South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol declared and then lifted martial law within hours. France’s political upheaval came with the passing of a no-confidence measure against Prime Minister Michel Barnier and his cabinet on Wednesday, leaving the government in caretaker mode without an approved budget. And in a swift offensive, Syrian rebels captured Aleppo and Hama. David Luhnow, Anna Sauerbrey, and Peter Spiegel join Ivo Daalder to unpack these stories and more on this week’s World Review.
