Wikipedia fights Russian order to remove Ukraine war information

13 Sept 08:13 Key points summarised by AI

The Wikimedia Foundation, owner of Wikipedia, is appealing a Moscow court's order demanding the removal of information related to the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
Russia fined Wikimedia 5 million roubles ($88,000) for refusing to delete content it deemed 'disinformation' from Russian-language Wikipedia articles, including those detailing war crimes and the Bucha massacre.
Wikimedia asserts that people have a fundamental right to access factual information about the war, arguing that removing well-sourced content violates human rights and that Russia lacks jurisdiction over the global platform.
The Foundation highlights Wikipedia as one of the few remaining major fact-checked Russian-language information sources, emphasizing the critical nature of the government's attempt to target this content.

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.
