Thousands of Black Lives Matter protesters in Seattle set fire to a juvenile detention center construction site, prompting police to use non-lethal weapons and make 11 arrests, with one officer injured by an explosive.
The demonstration was sparked by solidarity with Portland activists and renewed anger over the Trump administration's expansion of federal police deployment to Seattle, a move criticized by local officials.

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.
