New York CNN —Companies are closing headquarters, scrubbing their websites of top executives’ photographs and increasing armed security details for key leaders following the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. But companies in a wide range of industries are racing to enhance security measures for executives in the wake of the killing. Some are asking for armed security personnel for executives as they travel and commute to work from their homes. Buckner said that in the first several hours following the shooting, 47 companies contacted Global Guardian requesting additional executive security. Buckner said that executives often travel with armed security protection when they go overseas, but such security details have been growing in the United States in recent years.

SEOUL, South Korea — Lawmakers in South Korea are set to vote Saturday on whether to impeach President Yoon Suk Yeol after he plunged the country into chaos by declaring emergency martial law only to lift the order hours later under intense pressure from lawmakers and the public. Biden administration officials said they were not notified in advance that Yoon would declare martial law. South Korea is facing significant political turmoil after Yoon declared martial law, only to lift the order hours later. Ezra Acayan / Getty ImagesThe U.S. relationship with South Korea “transcends any particular president or government on both sides of the Pacific Ocean,” State Department deputy spokesperson Vedant Patel said Thursday. A martial law proclamation issued after Yoon’s address banned all political activity, including demonstrations, and censored the news media.

SEOUL, South Korea — When South Koreans came out to defend democracy this week in the face of a surprise martial law declaration by their president, history was weighing heavily on their minds. South Korea, a key U.S. ally, is the world’s 10th-largest economy and a vibrant Asian democracy in a region where authoritarianism is on the rise. But the country of 50 million people spent decades under military-authoritarian rule, with martial law frequently declared and those who resisted it sometimes killed. But then they ended up at the National Assembly.”Their job was to prevent lawmakers from entering, since the legislature’s operations had been banned under the martial law proclamation. Historically, “whenever South Korean authoritarian leaders wanted to declare martial law, they typically sought at least some kind of tacit approval from Washington,” Jo said.

The national milk supply must be tested for bird flu under a new federal order announced Friday by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Entities handling raw milk, such as bulk milk transporters or dairy processors, must collect and share samples with the USDA upon request. The goal is to quickly identify which dairy herds are affected by H5N1 — the strain of bird flu that's causing outbreaks in poultry and dairy cows — and prevent transmission among livestock. As of Thursday, 718 dairy herds have been affected. The initial round of testing under the new order, which was first reported by Reuters, is set to begin on Dec. 16.

SEOUL, South Korea — The head of South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol’s governing party on Friday signaled more openness to his removal as president for plunging the key U.S. ally into chaos with a short-lived declaration of martial law, reversing his position the day before an impeachment vote. Han Dong-hoon, leader of the conservative People Power Party (PPP), had earlier said he opposed impeaching Yoon because it would only create more turmoil. The PPP, which repudiated Yoon’s martial law declaration, had asked him to leave the party but said earlier that it opposed the impeachment motion. Six opposition parties had proposed impeaching Yoon over the martial law order, which banned political activity and censored the media. Blinken also reaffirmed the “ironclad” nature of the U.S. alliance with South Korea, which it views as an important bulwark against North Korea, China and Russia, and which hosts almost 30,000 American troops.

Musk financed RBG PAC, according to the report the group filed Thursday night with the Federal Election Commission. The super PAC, which did not disclose its donors before the election, launched ads contending that Trump did not support a federal abortion ban. But during this campaign, Trump backed away from that position and instead declared that he supported states' rights to decide abortion laws. Musk also gave $3 million to the MAHA Alliance, a super PAC affiliated with Robert F. Kennedy's "Make America Healthy Again" push, in late October. Trump selected Musk to advise him on cutting spending across the federal government as a co-chair of his "Department of Government Efficiency" initiative.

The damages, part of a wrongful death lawsuit the family filed one month after Tyre's death on March 24, 2022, were split evenly between Tyre's mother and father. Tyre's family reached a settlement last year with two other defendants named in the suit: ICON Park and Eagle Drop Slingshot, the ride’s owner. Ron DeSantis signed the Tyre Sampson Act into law, which strengthens safety standards for amusement park rides.
