UK latest country to back Morocco's plan in disputed Western Sahara
RABAT, Morocco (AP) — The United Kingdom on Sunday became the latest country to back Morocco's position on the disputed Western Sahara, calling its plan to keep the territory under Moroccan control 'the most credible, viable and pragmatic' way to resolve the decades-long conflict.
At a joint press conference in Morocco's capital, British Foreign Minister David Lammy said the United Kingdom was changing its position to support Morocco's plan to offer the area limited autonomy under Moroccan sovereignty. He and Moroccan Foreign Minister Nasser Bourita lauded the two countries' ties on security and trade, noting Morocco's role as co-host of the 2030 FIFA World Cup.

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — South Koreans are choosing a new president Tuesday to succeed the conservative who was ousted for imposing martial law briefly last year. Because the election was held early due to Yoon Suk Yeol's removal, the winner will take office Wednesday without the typical two-month transition. Surveys before the election indicated liberal candidate Lee Jae-myung is likely to win easily as voters remain frustrated over the martial law debacle and the main conservative candidate, Kim Moon Soo, struggles with moderates.
