	Description:		The move comes as South Korea’s president Yoon Suk Yeol disagrees with the main opposition Democratic Party over approval for next year’s budget bill. Both the ruling party and opposition have vowed to block the declaration of martial law. Also on the programme: It’s the first visit by a US President to an African country in almost 8 years, we hear about Joe Biden’s visit to Angola; and the story of the Indian princess who went undercover as a spy in France during the second world war. Posthumously, she’s become only the third woman to receive the UK's highest civilian honour for bravery.
