Some crypto fans point to price rallies that followed them as a sign that bitcoin's next halving will boost its price, but many analysts are sceptical.

SEOUL — South Korea's Prime Minister Han Duck-soo said on Friday (April 19) the government will adjust its healthcare reform plans to let medical schools determine their own admissions next year in a bid to end a prolonged walkout by junior doctors.

Han said he accepted a proposal made on Thursday by deans of state-funded medical schools to scale back the increase by up to half and to give universities flexibility in determining their quotas, as a potential way to reach a compromise.

Thirty-two medical schools will now be allowed to lower their previously designated quotas by up to 50 per cent for next year, while the increases for 2026 and beyond will proceed as planned.

"By proactively accepting the deans' recommendations, we're hoping to create a chance to protect medical students, normalise education and resolve the dispute," he told a briefing.
