Boris Johnson weds fiancee in 'secret' weekend ceremony

13 Sept 13:09 Key points summarised by AI

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson married his fiancée Carrie Symonds in a "secret ceremony" at Westminster Cathedral over the weekend.
Johnson is only the second British Prime Minister to marry while in office, and the first in nearly two centuries, with the last being Robert Jenkinson in 1822.
The intimate ceremony hosted around 30 guests, adhering to current coronavirus restrictions, with a larger celebration planned for next summer.
This marks Johnson's third marriage; the couple, who got engaged in December 2019 and have a one-year-old son, Wilfred, had postponed their wedding plans due to the pandemic.

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.
