Up First from NPR · Smooth Sailing For Trump's Nominees?, LA Fire Outlook, South Korea President Arrested · 15 Jan 2025 podcast

Now, it's rare for the Senate to not confirm presidential picks. Do you expect all these nominees to get a green light in the end?

That's NPR political correspondent Susan Davis. Thank you so much. You're welcome. The winds that stoked two massive wildfires in Los Angeles last week have been calmer since yesterday.

Good morning, Martin.

So does it look like Los Angeles is catching a break here?

And what about the neighborhoods that have already burned? Are those areas still off limits?

is looting something that's happening?

Okay, so assuming Los Angeles gets through today's red flag warning without major new fires, what's in store for the next few days?

South Korean police today arrested the country's impeached president, Yoon Sang-yeol, after a standoff with his security detail.

NPR's Anthony Kuhn was outside the president's residence this morning, and he joins me now from Seoul. Hi, Anthony.

So what's happening at the president's home?

That's good to hear. You were talking to protesters out there. What'd they say?

I was really worried about that situation. I was worried that I might get shot.

You know, we mentioned how unprecedented this is, and police did attempt to arrest Yoon before, but his security detail blocked them. What was different this time?

Wow, that's quite dramatic. What's the political significance of this arrest?

NPR's Anthony Kuhn in Seoul. Thank you so much, Anthony.
