South Korean parliament assembly in deadlock after violence

South Korean parliament assembly in deadlock after violence

South Korea's National Assembly has been in deadlock for days because of a power struggle between political parties.

Politicians have been reporting each other for acts of violence, in scenes that are reminiscent of the parliament's violent past.

Al Jazeera’s Rob McBride reports from Seoul.
