The 22-year-old, from Bishops Waltham, Hampshire, began his challenge on 26 January and completed it on 6 February.

Mr Williams says he feels "very bitter" about his experience but hopes that by speaking out publicly for the first time, he can bring more attention to his case.He also hopes any other servicemen still alive and affected by the same issue will come forward.

He added he intends to continue his campaign by contacting the current Stroud MP, Labour's Simon Opher, in the hope he will take up the case.Mr Williams said: "I'm just a stubborn old sod and I'm not going to give in. I would appreciate it if anybody said to me 'you were right and we were wrong'."An Irish man has died and a child has been injured in a shooting incident at a shopping centre in County Carlow on Sunday.

Emergency services are currently at the scene at the Fairgreen Shopping Centre, with an army bomb disposal team also in attendance.Gardaí (Irish police) were alerted to the incident shortly after 18:15 local time.

The girl was treated by paramedics at the scene. Gardaí said it is not yet known how her injuries were sustained.

The shopping centre has been evacuated and the area has been sealed off by police."After [Lee's] term as a governor, his reformist image faded somewhat as he focused more on his presidential ambitions," he says. "Still, on certain issues – like addressing past wrongs [during the Japanese colonial era], welfare and corruption – he has built a loyal and passionate support base by taking a firm and uncompromising stance."

This uncompromising attitude has its detractors, with many members and supporters of the ruling People Power Party (PPP) viewing Lee as aggressive and abrasive in his approach.Lee's political career has also been marred by a series of scandals – including a drink driving incident in 2004, disputes with relatives in the late 2010s and allegations of an extramarital affair that emerged in 2018.

While in other parts of the world voters have shown forgiveness and even support for controversial politicians, in South Korea – a country that is still relatively conservative in what it expects of public figures – such scandals have not typically played well.In recent years, Lee's political ambitions have been saddled with even more pressing controversies - including the ongoing legal cases that continue to hang over him, threatening to hamstring if not scuttle his chances at election.
