ReutersSouth Korea's Yoon: Embittered survivor becomes first sitting president arrested
SEOUL (Reuters) -Yoon Suk Yeol became the first incumbent South Korean president to be arrested when he finally backed down on Wednesday in a weeks-long standoff with authorities investigating him over alleged insurrection. A tough political survivor who became increasingly isolated halfway through his five-year term, Yoon, 64, has been dogged by personal scandals, an unyielding opposition and rifts within his own party. His legal peril stands in contrast to his storied career before politics as a top prosecutor, which launched him into the public eye and sparked much of the support that lead to his victory in the 2022 presidential election, his first elected office.

ECB betting on services prices to get inflation back to target, Lane says
FRANKFURT (Reuters) -Euro zone inflation is set to decline this year on more muted wage increases but the outlook is far too uncertain for the European Central Bank to provide an explicit guidance on interest rates, Philip Lane, the bank's chief economist said. The ECB cut interest rates four times last year and investors see another three or four moves in 2025 as inflation, now at 2.4%, could inch towards the ECB's 2% target in the coming months despite gyrations in the world economy. Speaking at a Goldman Sachs event in Hong Kong, Lane argued that the big change will be in services inflation, the single largest item in the consumer price basket, which has been stuck at around 4% for most of last year and keeping the overall figure high despite big falls in energy and imported goods.

Trump nominee Pete Hegseth weathers Democrats' grilling to emerge largely unscathed
President-elect Donald Trump's pick to lead the Pentagon, Pete Hegseth, endured fierce Democratic grilling over everything from his inexperience, alleged drinking and his past opposition to women in combat to emerge largely unscathed among Republicans at his confirmation hearing on Tuesday. Hegseth, a former Fox News host and decorated veteran, is one of the most controversial figures ever nominated to be Secretary of Defense and any vote to confirm him is expected to be very close. But he weathered the four-hour hearing without making any major gaffe that might have alienated Republicans and even won critical backing from Republican Senator Joni Ernst, who holds sway in her party.
