14 Sept 03:35Key points summarised by AI
U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi visited Kyiv, pledging unwavering U.S. support for Ukraine "until victory is won," marking the highest-ranking U.S. official visit since the invasion.
Approximately 100 Ukrainian civilians were successfully evacuated from the besieged Azovstal steelworks in Mariupol, a critical breakthrough facilitated by a UN-confirmed "safe passage operation."
The evacuation from Mariupol, a city subjected to relentless bombardment, brought relief to those trapped in the vast steel complex, with more efforts expected to retrieve remaining civilians.
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.
