Giuffre's Prince Andrew suit goes ahead despite Epstein deal

14 Sept 06:12 Key points summarised by AI

A U.S. judge refused to dismiss Virginia Giuffre's sexual abuse lawsuit against Britain’s Prince Andrew, allowing the case to proceed.
The court ruled that Giuffre's 2009 settlement with financier Jeffrey Epstein does not shield Prince Andrew from the current legal action, noting he was not a party to that agreement.
Giuffre alleges Prince Andrew sexually abused her in 2001 when she was 17, claims the prince consistently and strenuously denies.
This decision paves the way for potential depositions and a trial, intensifying pressure on Prince Andrew to settle the high-profile case.

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.
