Palestinians hand bullet that killed Al Jazeera journalist to US

14 Sept 00:24 Key points summarised by AI

The Palestinian Authority (PA) submitted the bullet that killed Al Jazeera journalist Shireen Abu Akleh to US forensic experts, aiming to conclusively prove it was fired by an Israeli soldier.
The PA secured assurances from the US that the bullet would not be modified and would be returned upon completion of the assessment, specifically refusing to hand it over to Israel.
Previous investigations by the United Nations and several journalistic probes indicated Israeli forces fired the fatal shot, a finding Israel disputes as 'unfounded,' stating it's impossible to determine the shooter.
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken had previously committed to pursuing an independent, credible investigation and accountability for Abu Akleh's killing, following wherever the facts might lead.

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.
