Europe's largest nuclear power plant on fire after shelling
14 Sept 00:39Key points summarised by AI
Russian forces shelled Europe's largest nuclear power plant, Zaporizhzhia, igniting a fire at one reactor and sparking international alarm over nuclear safety.
The attack reportedly caused elevated radiation levels near the plant, with firefighters initially unable to access the blaze due to ongoing shelling.
This incident heightens fears of a Chernobyl-like disaster and prompts urgent calls from Ukrainian officials for a no-fly zone over nuclear facilities.
The assault occurred amid broader Russian military advances, including the capture of Kherson, as the conflict continues to escalate across Ukraine.
Macron condemns those who 'sought to bring down the Republic' after rioting mars nationwide protests
Yesterday 12:56Key points summarised by AI
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.
