Trump steps into North Korea, in historic first

13 Sept 11:51 Key points summarised by AI

President Donald Trump made history by becoming the first sitting US president to step onto North Korean soil, meeting leader Kim Jong Un in the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ).
The impromptu meeting, initiated by Trump's tweet, served as a symbolic diplomatic spectacle aimed at reviving stalled denuclearization negotiations between the two countries.
Despite the historic handshake, previous summits yielded little concrete progress on North Korea's nuclear arsenal, leading to skepticism among analysts about the immediate impact of this largely symbolic encounter.

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.
