Trump says to meet North Korea's Kim in Vietnam in late February
14 Sept 19:36Key points summarised by AI
President Trump announced his second summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un will take place in Vietnam on February 27-28.
Trump credited his administration for averting a major war on the Korean peninsula, citing North Korea's halt in nuclear testing and missile launches as proof of progress.
The upcoming meeting aims for "concrete deliverables" on denuclearization, with discussions expected to focus on dismantling North Korea's Yongbyon nuclear complex and potential reciprocation, such as sanctions relief.
Despite Trump's positive assessment, a confidential U.N. report suggests North Korea's nuclear and ballistic missile programs remain intact, underscoring the ongoing challenges in achieving denuclearization.
Macron condemns those who 'sought to bring down the Republic' after rioting mars nationwide protests
Yesterday 12:56Key points summarised by AI
President Macron condemned widespread rioting and looting during nationwide protests, blaming far-left activists and criminals for the "unrestrained violence" and vowing accountability for those who "sought to bring down the Republic."
Over 2,400 arrests were made as protests against rising living costs and poor school conditions escalated, causing extensive damage to public buildings and businesses in cities like Paris, Limoges (where City Hall burned), Marseille, and Lyon.
The unrest, which organizers hoped would revive the "yellow vest" movement, saw political leaders trade blame, with Macron instructing prefects to protect public buildings and potentially ban future protests to prevent further disorder.
