So whatever the courts decide in the coming weeks about whether to remove him from office, it is going to obsess a lot of people here, and the authorities are bracing themselves for potential unrest.

Hello, I'm Jean Lanham and I live up in Ayrshire in Scotland. I'm a garden designer. My studio is a converted out house in the garden. My desk sits up against a big picture window looking onto the garden, which includes a very old gnarled pear tree and a bird box, which is often home to a family of blue tits. I never know if they'll return.

The bird box is attached to the top of a post in a corner of the pergola, which is next to a weeping birch and has a climbing rose and a honeysuckle clambering up it. At this time of year, after brushing my Labrador, I attach her fur to a branch on the pear tree with a clothes peg for premium nesting material for the birds.

I'm not sure whether this is an added attraction to this particular nesting box, but I like to think so.

As I worked at my desk yesterday, I was delighted to see a pair of blue tits flitting through the branches of the birch tree, landing on the tangled old climbing rose, and as one sat on a branch of the pear tree to look out, the other flew to the bird box and started the spring cleaning, ready for nesting this year. They're back again. Such an absolute joy.

The world is playing with fire. I want to send a clear message to our partners from the US, UK, and all other Western countries that please don't come to blame Africa when there will be a pandemic coming from Africa because we decide to stop funding to critical programmes.

I'm near South Korea's constitutional court where at the moment the impeached and imprisoned president is testifying and his supporters have rallied outside. They want him released, they want him returned to office and they are shouting some pretty extreme things. They're saying that the left-leaning opposition party are communists and that the leader of the opposition should be executed.

When the president here declared martial law, he justified this extreme move by claiming that the parliament had been infiltrated by people who were pro-North Korea, pro-communist. Now, he didn't provide any evidence, but since then, these ideas have really taken hold.
