Biden and Congress mark a year since violent insurrection

13 Sept 12:43 Key points summarised by AI

President Biden and congressional Democrats commemorate the first anniversary of the January 6th Capitol insurrection, emphasizing the truth of the attack and the enduring threat to American democracy.
Biden directly attributes responsibility for the violence to then-President Trump, urging the nation to reject political violence and the subversion of electoral will.
The anniversary highlights a stark partisan divide, with most Republicans absent from remembrance events and many still embracing false narratives about the 2020 election and the nature of the Capitol assault.

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.
