U.S. Congress certifies Biden win hours after harrowing Capitol Hill assault

23 Sept 05:31 Key points summarised by AI

U.S. Congress formally certified Joe Biden's election victory, confirming his 306 Electoral College votes after rejecting objections.
This certification occurred hours after hundreds of President Trump's supporters violently stormed the U.S. Capitol in an unprecedented assault on American democracy.
Following the certification, Trump pledged an "orderly transition" on January 20th, despite reiterating his false claims of election fraud.
The Capitol chaos resulted in four deaths, numerous arrests, and widespread condemnation, with some prominent Republicans blaming Trump for inciting the violence.

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.
