'From grief to shock': Tornadoes kill at least 74 in Kentucky

14 Sept 02:59 Key points summarised by AI

A barrage of tornadoes tragically killed at least 74 people in Kentucky, with the death toll expected to climb as 109 individuals remain missing.
The unusually late-season tornadoes devastated Kentucky, damaging or destroying an estimated 1,000 homes and leaving 28,000 without power, while also causing fatalities in five other states.
Survivors are grappling with immense grief and shock, finding refuge in shelters, with friends, or through community support as volunteers mobilize to assist the suddenly homeless.
Authorities face challenges in confirming exact casualties due to widespread wreckage and disrupted services, though initial fears about a candle factory's death toll may be lower.
President Biden is scheduled to visit the hard-hit areas, including Mayfield, as federal disaster aid is deployed to support the extensive recovery and rebuilding efforts.

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.
