UK police won't act against Prince Andrew over abuse claim

23 Sept 03:44 Key points summarised by AI

UK police concluded their review, announcing no action against Prince Andrew regarding sexual assault claims by Virginia Giuffre.
Giuffre alleges she was trafficked by Jeffrey Epstein to have sex with Andrew in 2001 when she was a minor, a claim Andrew vehemently denies.
The Metropolitan Police also confirmed no action would be taken against Ghislaine Maxwell for alleged trafficking and abuse in the UK, as she awaits trial in the U.S.
Prince Andrew faces a U.S. civil lawsuit from Giuffre and remains banished from royal duties due to his association with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

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.
