윤석열 피고인의 내란 우두머리 혐의 항소심 최후진술 공판에서 피고인은 혐의를 부인하며 자신의 입장만 되풀이했고, 방청객에게 인사하고 특검팀에 박수를 독려하는 등 법정을 정치 무대처럼 활용했다. 선고는 내년 1월 26일로 정해졌다. 미국 중간선거 이후 뉴욕 증시가 반도체 중심으로 급락하면서 그 여파로 코스피가 6% 하락해 5,000선을 간신히 지키며 마감했다. 종가 기준으로는 지난 3월 말 이후 7개월 만의 최저 수준이다. 외국인의 SK하이닉스 대량 매도와 서킷브레이커·매도 사이드카 발동이 있었으며, AI 데이터센터 규제 우려가 반도체 업종을 흔든 것으로 분석된다. 이재명 대통령은 두 달 넘게 공석이던 법무부 장관 후보자로 이용철 방위사업청장을 지명했고, 경찰청장 후보자로는 김종철 직무대행을 지명했다. 국세청장과 정무수석 후보자도 함께 발표됐다. 충북 청주에서는 청소차 뒤 발판에서 이동하던 환경미화원이 화물차와 충돌해 숨지는 사고가 발생했다. 발판 탑승은 불법이지만 열악한 작업 환경으로 유사 사고가 반복되고 있다는 지적이 나온다.

Even at the final hearing of the appeal trial yesterday regarding the charge of leading an insurrection, defendant Yoon Seong-yeol denied the charges to the very end, insisting only on his own position . Then, he thanked the audience for coming and even encouraged them to applaud the special counsel team, using the courtroom as if it were his own political stage .
Reporter Lee Seung-ji, who covered the scene, reports on the court proceedings from yesterday. As President Yoon Suk-yeol enters the courtroom, former Defense Minister Kim Yong-hyun and supporters in the gallery jump up. He received a standing ovation just like a sitting president in a courtroom where the judge is allowed to enter and exit .
Choi Woo-jin's subsequent statement was full of blaming others. The cause of the martial law was attributed to the opposition party; the National Assembly, dominated by that massive opposition at the time, repeated unprecedented series of impeachments unseen in modern states and shifted the responsibility for the orders to remove lawmakers to the Military Security Department.
They disguised the Minister of National Defense's order to pull out Special Forces personnel as the President's order to pull out lawmakers. He was the one who declared the state of emergency, yet he blamed the special prosecutor who investigated and indicted him. They are recklessly issuing political prosecutions by bringing in absurd logic and false evidence that do not even conform to legal principles.
Former Defense Minister Kim Yong-hyun, who had plotted the opening of martial law from the beginning, emphasized the legitimacy of the declaration of martial law by describing anti-state forces and the desire for election fraud as a cancerous tumor. But why, why is it that in our country alone, the government, the massive ruling party, and even the media remain silent, and on top of that, do they even prevent us from mentioning election fraud ?
After Choi Woo-sung’s statement, which consisted only of claims without any remorse, former President Yoon greeted the supporters in the audience, thanking them for coming in large numbers despite the cold, and then encouraged them to applaud the special counsel team . Then, supporters made heart shapes above their heads toward former President Yoon, and upon seeing this, former Minister Kim Yong-hyun responded with a hand heart, turning the courtroom into a stage for the defendants.
The sentencing date for defendant Yoon Seok-yeol's appeal is January 26 next year. This is Lee Seung-jin from MBC News. Hello everyone. As the aftermath of the U.S. midterm elections hit stock markets around the world, our stock market also fell sharply. Today, the KOSPI returned to levels from seven months ago and even fell below the 5,000 mark at one point during the trading session.
This is because investment sentiment toward the AI industry is significantly shaken . First, Reporter Song Seo-young is misleading. The KOSPI plummeted more than 8% immediately after opening, falling below the 5,000 mark. Trading stopped after 3 minutes as a circuit breaker was triggered, followed by the activation of a sell sidecar.
In the end, the KOSPI fell 6% from yesterday and closed barely holding the 5,000 mark . Based on the closing price, it is the lowest level in seven months since the end of last March . Semiconductors led the decline for the second consecutive day as foreign investors net sold nearly 2 trillion won in SK Hynix alone.
Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix plummeted by 11% and 13%, respectively, in early trading. Although the decline narrowed slightly in the afternoon, they fell to the 180,000 won and 1.13 million won levels, respectively . The sharp decline began in the New York stock market in the U.S. The downward trend that had been confined to semiconductors the previous day spread to the entire market, causing all three major indices to fall sharply .
Micron and AMD fell 17%, and the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index dropped 12%, marking its biggest decline since COVID-19 in March 2020. This is analyzed as an early impact of the message to regulate AI data centers, centered around Democratic-elected districts following the midterm elections. Semiconductor-related sectors initially fell due to regulatory risks regarding AI data centers, and as those regulations intensify, concerns have worsened more than expected, causing Asian stock markets to waver across the board.
In Japan, semiconductor company Kioxia recorded a drop of more than 8%, and the Nikkei index also fell by nearly 6%. In Taiwan as well, the semiconductor sector saw a concentrated downturn, with TSMC falling nearly 10% at one point to hit the lower limit, causing indices across the board to drop by more than 4%.
This is Song Sa-young from MBC News. President Lee Jae-myung nominated Defense Acquisition Program Administration Administrator Lee Yong-chul as the candidate for Minister of Justice, a position that had been vacant for over two months . In addition, the pace of personnel selection was accelerated, including the nomination of Acting Commissioner Kim Jong-cheol as the candidate for Commissioner General of the National Police Agency, a position that had been vacant for nearly two years.
First, Reporter Yoon Sang-bun reports. The Blue House held an unscheduled briefing today and made a surprise announcement of the nominee for Minister of Justice, a position that has been vacant for over two months. Lee Yong-cheol, head of the Defense Acquisition Program Administration, was nominated as the candidate for Minister of Justice.
They selected a lawyer as the incumbent head of the Defense Acquisition Program Administration, who is neither from the courts nor the prosecution, nor is he a sitting member of parliament. The Blue House stated that nominee Lee Yong-cheol is from the Lawyers for Democratic Society and led anti-corruption institutional reforms during the Participatory Government, serving as a secretary in the Office of the Senior Secretary for Civil Affairs.
He is a person who has been recognized for his advocacy of fundamental human rights while working at Minbyun, as well as for his reformist administrative capabilities while serving as the head of the defense industry. This nomination comes 72 days after the resignation of former Minister Jeong Seong-ho and 48 days after the rejection of former Minister nominee Kim Seung-won.
In addition, the selection of heads of investigative agencies was belatedly accelerated, with Acting Commissioner General Kim Jong-cheol-hyeon being recommended for appointment as the Commissioner General of the National Police Agency, a position that had been vacant for nearly two years since the 123 Rebellion .
President Lee nominated Ahn Deok-su, Commissioner of the Seoul Regional Tax Office, as the candidate for Commissioner General of the National Tax Service, a position that had been vacant following the appointment of Chief of Staff Im Gwang-hyeon. In addition, former Democratic Party lawmaker Choi In-ho has been nominated to succeed Senior Secretary for Political Affairs Hong Ik-pyo, who recently expressed his intention to become a son-in-law; as he is a prominent pro-Moon figure in Busan, this is interpreted as a move toward factional integration .
The Blue House explained that it made personnel appointments with a commitment to listening more to the voices of the people and communicating, focusing on enabling them to feel the efficacy of policy changes . This is Yoon Sang-moon from MBC News. An environmental worker who was moving on the footrest at the back of a cleaning vehicle died in a collision with a cargo truck .
Not only is moving on scaffolding illegal, but the installation of scaffolding itself is also illegal; however, similar accidents continue to occur due to poor working conditions . This is reporter Kim Eun-cho . Two workers wearing fluorescent work uniforms are standing and hanging from a platform behind a garbage truck on a road in Cheongju, North Chungcheong Province, where it was raining early yesterday morning.
A cargo truck follows closely behind at high speed . An E-ton truck driven by a driver in his 60s crashed directly into a garbage truck . As a result of the accident, one of the two sanitation workers who were on the rear platform of the garbage truck died after receiving hospital treatment. It is correct that the garbage truck was kicked out along with the vehicle that was proceeding next to it while changing lanes.
I don't know the details, but the deceased in that CCTV study was a 26-year-old man hired on a fixed-term basis to fill the vacancy of a regular environmental civil servant. Attaching a footrest to a garbage truck or having a person ride on the footrest to move it is illegal under the Road Traffic Act and the Automobile Management Act.
However, dangerous work continues at the site because garbage collection cannot be completed within the designated time unless operations are conducted in this manner . Similar accidents involving sanitation workers are recurring, such as the death of a sanitation worker in his 60s who was struck by a utility pole while moving on the back step of a vehicle in Gangseo-gu, Seoul last September, and the death of a sanitation worker in his 60s in Yangsan, Gyeongnam in 2024 .
Labor unions are demanding fundamental improvements, stating that dangerous work on scaffolding will continue unless working hours are extended and manpower is increased . This is Kim Cho from MBC News. In France yesterday, which was a weekday, more people took to the streets in anti-information protests than on the weekend .
The French government maintains that it will quell the unrest before the presidential election, but the scale of the protests is actually growing larger. This is a report by Berlin correspondent Lee Ji-soo. Place de la Nacion in Paris, shrouded in darkness. Flames rise in various places, and protesters holding French flags confront the police.
As the sound of tear gas rang out and riot police pushed in, the square turned into chaos. Nearly 600,000 citizens poured into the streets in France on the evening of the 5th, local time . This is the largest scale of the protest that started two months ago. The tax budget for next year was rejected yesterday with over 400 votes against and 0 votes in favor .
The left and right parties failed to reach an agreement and each scrapped their own budget proposals, and even President Macron's camp turned its back. People on the streets are shouting to spend more money, but surprisingly, it seems they haven't even been able to agree on a single budget . Students asking for a change to the school where classes have disappeared due to a lack of teachers and which is infested with rats.
However, during the police crackdown, a 15-year-old boy had his hand severed by a riot grenade, and a 14-year-old student had his jaw broken by a tear gas canister . A 16-year-old student lost vision in their right eye. As anger over the harsh crackdown compounded by dissatisfaction with prices and wages, the problems in the classroom spread to the entire street.
It is not easy for the government to accept the demands either. The country's spending is approaching 120% of its GDP and needs to be reduced, but citizens are demanding more investment in education and welfare . In France, with the presidential election five months away, there is no politics to be seen that can capture the anger of the streets. This is Lee Ji-soo for MBC News in Berlin.
