Trump impeached after Capitol riot in historic second charge
24 Sept 20:39Key points summarised by AI
The U.S. House impeached President Donald Trump for a historic second time, charging him with "incitement of insurrection" following the deadly Capitol riot.
The 232-197 vote, with 10 Republicans joining Democrats, occurred just one week after pro-Trump loyalists stormed the Capitol, following the president's calls to "fight like hell" against election results.
This unprecedented second impeachment makes Trump the only U.S. president to face such action, setting the stage for a potential Senate trial that could prevent him from holding future office.
Macron condemns those who 'sought to bring down the Republic' after rioting mars nationwide protests
19 Oct 12:56Key points summarised by AI
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.
