South Korea opposition seeks interim leader's impeachment

    Opposition parties in South Korea say they will seek the impeachment of the acting president, Hwang Kyo-ahn, over his decisions on the country's corruption scandal.

   Hwang decided not to extend a special prosecutor's investigation which involves his predecessor, President Park Geun-hye.
Park who is still technically president, though she has been stripped of her powers while the constitutional court decides her fate over her December impeachment, still remains president and is therefore immune from prosecution. 
    The investigation will now end today. Hwang, who remains prime minister while he sits in for the president, says continuing the investigation is not in the best interests of the nation.
