Zelensky tells UN to 'act immediately' on Russia or close
1 Oct 02:19Key points summarised by AI
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky challenged the United Nations to "act immediately" against Russia or "dissolve yourself altogether," demanding Russia's expulsion from the Security Council to prevent it from vetoing decisions on its own aggression.
Zelensky presented graphic footage of alleged Russian atrocities in Bucha and Mariupol, accusing Russian troops of mass killings, torture, and rape, likening their actions to those of terrorist groups.
Russia's ambassador, Vassily Nebenzia, vehemently denied Zelensky's accusations, calling them "ungrounded" and claiming that the images were either fake or depicted events after Russian troops had withdrawn from the areas.
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.
