A year after U.S. Capitol siege, Biden blasts Trump's 'web of lies'

13 Sept 14:27 Key points summarised by AI

President Biden commemorated the first anniversary of the U.S. Capitol attack by accusing former President Trump of spreading a "web of lies" to undermine American democracy.
Speaking at the Capitol, Biden emphasized that Trump's false claims about the 2020 election threaten the rule of law and future elections, driven by a prioritization of "power over principle."
The speech underscored a stark political divide, with Biden focusing on systemic threats while Trump continued to issue statements reiterating his unsubstantiated election fraud claims.
Despite the deadly riot and ongoing investigations, Trump retains significant influence over the Republican party, with most members remaining loyal and some downplaying the events of January 6.

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.
