Azerbaijan plane crash, Indian Ocean tsunami remembered and LA homelessness

Russian air defences downed an Azerbaijan Airlines plane that crashed in Kazakhstan, killing 38 people, four sources have told Reuters. South Korea has plunged deeper into political chaos after its parliament impeached acting President Han Duck-soo. We hear from a mother who lost her son in the Indian Ocean tsunami, 20 years since the disaster killed 230,000 people. And in Los Angeles, the city is taking a different approach to the issue of homelessness, moving thousands of people into hotel rooms or shelters. This episode has been updated to remove a reference to the Photo of the Year weekend special which will be published on a later date than Saturday, December 28.
