Ukraine accuses Russia of genocide after bombing of children's hospital
13 Sept 23:59Key points summarised by AI
Ukrainian President Zelenskiy accused Russia of genocide after its forces bombed a children's hospital in Mariupol, injuring women in labor and children.
The attack, which occurred despite a ceasefire agreement, drew condemnation from the White House as a "barbaric use of military force" against civilians.
Russia denied targeting civilian sites, but the incident exacerbated the dire humanitarian crisis in Mariupol, where hundreds of thousands are trapped without water or power.
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.
