2nd impeachment vote for Prez Yoon on edge

A week after a first attempt to remove Yoon for the martial law debacle foundered, the country's National Assembly will vote on Saturday around 4 pm (0700 GMT) on whether to impeach the president for "insurrectionary acts undermining the constitutional order".

Two hundred votes are needed for the measure to pass, meaning opposition lawmakers must convince eight ruling People Power Party (PPP) colleagues to defect.
