    New Orleans terror attack / South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol's arrest warrant

    On Friday’s Backchat, Global Focus talks about the New Year’s Day terror attack in the US. At least 15 people were killed and 30 injured when an SUV drove into crowds of revellers in New Orleans.

    The US-born suspect – who is an army veteran - was shot dead by police and is believed to have been inspired by the Islamic State group. Investigators are probing if others were involved, as well as whether there is any connection with a car explosion outside the Trump Hotel in Las Vegas a few hours earlier.
    Are ISIS-inspired attacks making a comeback?
    After 9:45, we learn about the legal troubles facing impeached Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol, who now has an arrest warrant over his head following his failed attempt to impose martial law.
