TV audience for second Trump-Biden debate below first

13 Sept 14:25 Key points summarised by AI

The second presidential debate between Donald Trump and Joe Biden drew approximately 63 million TV viewers, a significant decrease from the 73.1 million who watched their initial face-off.
This decline in viewership occurred as the debate, the last before the Nov. 3 election, competed directly with a National Football League game, despite Trump adopting a more restrained tone.

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.
