'Girls' education is a climate solution': Malala Yousafzai joins climate protest
13 Sept 10:51Key points summarised by AI
Malala Yousafzai declared that girls' education is a critical climate solution, as millions of girls lose access to schooling due to climate-related events like droughts and floods.
She highlighted that girls are disproportionately affected by climate disasters, being the first to drop out of school and the last to return, exacerbating existing inequalities.
Joining Greta Thunberg and Vanessa Nakate, Yousafzai underscored that empowering women through education helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions, builds resilience, and tackles global inequalities.
The activists stressed that educated girls and women, particularly in developing countries, are essential for developing effective climate solutions and driving global change.
Macron condemns those who 'sought to bring down the Republic' after rioting mars nationwide protests
Today 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.
