Julio Salas Gutiérrez, the Chilean Undersecretary of Fisheries and Aquaculture, tells the BBC that the government is working to remove fish farms from the national parks.

Nam Hyun-joo, an employee at a theological school, told the BBC that she believed the Chinese Communist Party was "the main actor behind the election fraud". Standing alone outside the Constitutional Court in the biting January cold, she held a protest sign denouncing the judiciary.Other voices dominating the virtual realm are a snapshot of the rest of Yoon's support base: middle-aged or elderly men. One of them runs A Stroke of Genius, one of the largest pro-Yoon YouTube channels with 1.6 million subscribers.

"I think the opposition party's power in the assembly went to its head," says Mr Breen. "Now they've shot themselves in the foot."

An embattled Yoon has become larger than life, rebranded as a martyr who saw martial law as the only way to save South Korea's democracy.One Tesco worker, who wanted to remain anonymous, told the BBC they were grateful for the addition of the new tech.

"I work on self-service for Tesco and feel like I double up as a security guard," they said."You're not paid very well anyway and then you have tills to look after.

"I quite often have to monitor 10 self-checkouts, on my own, whilst two staff cover manual checkouts," they said, adding that there were many customers who steal and try to "con the system".Gaming developer John O'Reilly, 28, noticed the systems in their local Tesco in Woolwich in south-east London, and wonders how anyone can consent to "such deeply invasive technology".
