South Korean investigators question arrested President Yoon in insurrection probe
SEOUL (Reuters) -Impeached South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol was arrested and questioned by authorities on Wednesday in relation to a criminal insurrection investigation, saying he was only cooperating with what he called an illegal probe to avoid violence. His arrest, the first ever for an incumbent South Korean president, is the latest head-spinning development for one of Asia's most vibrant democracies even though the country has a history of prosecuting and imprisoning former leaders. Since lawmakers voted to impeach him and remove him from duties after his short-lived Dec. 3 declaration of martial law, Yoon has been holed up at his hillside residence, guarded by a small army of presidential security that blocked a previous arrest attempt.

Exclusive-Meta warns India antitrust ruling could force roll back of features, hurt business
Meta may have to "roll back or pause" some features in India due to an antitrust directive which banned its WhatsApp messaging service from sharing user data with Meta for advertising purposes, according to a court filing by the U.S. company seen by Reuters. Meta is seeking to quash the Competition Commission of India's (CCI) November directive which found the company abused its dominance and "coerced" WhatsApp users into accepting a 2021 privacy policy which allegedly expanded user data collection and sharing, giving it an unfair advantage over rivals. The CCI has imposed a fine of $24.5 million and a five-year ban on the data sharing practice in India, the biggest market for Meta where it has more than 350 million Facebook users and over 500 million people using WhatsApp.

"We spent the night in a plane hotel and got to sleep in a Boeing 747 cockpit"
A couple of plane spotters spent the night in a plane hotel - and got to sleep in the cockpit of a Boeing 747 aircraft. Annabelle Green, 20, and her boyfriend Joel Simons, 21, are both avid plane spotters so the prospect of staying in an aircraft was too good to miss. The couple decided to book a stay at the Jumbo Jet Hotel last November. The hotel consists of single aircraft - a Boeing 747 Jumbo Jet - and is stationed on the tarmac of the Stockholm Arlanda Airport in Sweden. Jumbo Jet Hotel houses a range of 14 rooms and dorms, with cheaper rooms costing £70 and suites charging upwards of £180. Annabelle and Joel treated themselves to the aircraft's best room - the cockpit - for a total of £200 for the night and said they would definitely go back.

European hiring slowdown prompts profit warnings from UK recruiters
(Reuters) -British recruiters issued profit warnings this week, saying economic and political jitters across Europe slowed permanent and temporary hiring by firms, and warned that conditions would likely remain subdued in the near term. Financial and political upheaval in markets including France, Germany, and the UK has led employers to limit hiring and discouraged people from changing jobs. Hays on Wednesday warned first-half operating profit would miss a company-compiled average consensus of 27 million pounds ($33 million) and come at the lower end of a consensus range of 24 to 33.2 million pounds, dragged down in part by weakness in Germany - its biggest market.
