UPDATED: South Korean president says he will lift martial law

South Korean president has said he will lift martial law, hours after the country’s parliament voted to block the measure.
In a national address, Yoon Suk Yeol said: “I have accepted decision made by the National Assembly to dissolve and lift the martial law.”
He had earlier announced he would impose martial law in a shock move that angered the rest of parliament – including members of his own ruling party – sparked major protests and prompted widespread international concern.
Members of parliament then headed to the parliament building to vote against the measure, urging the president to then formally revoke it.
He now appears to have relented – after his own party urged him to lift the order.
