Democrats forge ahead to impeach Trump, again

13 Sept 12:11 Key points summarised by AI

Democrats are determined to remove President Trump from office following his supporters' violent assault on the Capitol, pursuing either the 25th Amendment or a second impeachment.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced plans to first seek a cabinet-led removal via the 25th Amendment, threatening impeachment legislation if Vice President Pence does not comply.
Trump faces charges of inciting violence, with growing bipartisan calls for his resignation, including from some prominent Republicans.
While House impeachment is probable, a Senate conviction before Trump's January 20 departure is unlikely due to time constraints and procedural rules.
A key motivation for post-presidency conviction could be to disqualify Trump from holding future federal office.

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.
