North Korean leader receives 'excellent' letter from Trump: KCNA
13 Sept 11:23Key points summarised by AI
North Korean state media reported that leader Kim Jong Un received a personal letter of "excellent content" from US President Donald Trump.
Kim expressed satisfaction with the letter, appreciating Trump's political judgment and courage, indicating he would seriously contemplate its message amid stalled nuclear talks.
This high-level exchange follows Chinese President Xi Jinping's recent visit to Pyongyang, which analysts interpret as Kim's readiness to re-engage with Washington, potentially leveraging China's support.
Macron condemns those who 'sought to bring down the Republic' after rioting mars nationwide protests
19 Oct 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.
