British exporters' sigh of relief at tariffs being stopped could be short-lived as the White House has said it intends to appeal the decision.

"Everyone's kind of scratching their heads a bit here," Michael Breen, a Seoul-based consultant and former journalist who covered the Koreas, tells the BBC. While conservatives in South Korea have been "very divided and feeble" over the last decade, he says, Yoon is "now more popular with them than he was before he tried to introduce martial law".This solidarity has likely been fuelled by a shared dislike of the opposition, which has launched multiple attempts to impeach members of Yoon's cabinet, pushed criminal investigations against Yoon and his wife, and used its parliamentary majority to impeach Yoon's replacement Han Duck-soo.

Kim Sang-wook, another PPP lawmaker who has emerged as a prominent anti-Yoon voice among conservatives, said he was pressured to leave the party after supporting Yoon's impeachment. And now YouTubers, according to Kim, have become the president's public relations machine.

Worries have simmered over an increasingly ungovernable group within the conservative movement. And as influential left-wing YouTubers similarly rally anti-Yoon protesters, there are also concerns that political differences are being driven ever deeper into the fabric of South Korea's society.These include 294 in national reserves, where limited commercial use of natural resources

In her hot and sticky office in an old building in the centre of Santiago she describes an environmental campaign that she's part of – Salvemos La Patagonia or Save Patagonia.

It wants to protect the natural habitat of the entire Chilean Patagonia region. This vast geographic area starts north of Puerto Montt and then extends all the way down to the very base of the country. And it is where most of the salmon farms are located, in its many fjords."We want the salmon farms to stop operating in the national parks and national reserves," says Ms Liberona.
