A pro-Trump mob violently stormed the U.S. Capitol, forcing lawmakers into hiding and halting the certification of Joe Biden's presidential election victory.
The assault, incited by President Trump's false claims of election fraud, resulted in a woman's death, a city-wide curfew, and widespread condemnation from political leaders and organizations.
The unprecedented event exposed deep national divisions, prompting strong reactions including Twitter locking Trump's account and many describing it as an 'insurrection' against American democracy.

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.
