13 Sept 12:14 Key points summarised by AI

David DePape, the suspect in the attack on Paul Pelosi, confessed to police his intention to target Nancy Pelosi and other politicians as part of a "suicide mission" driven by political grievances.
DePape allegedly broke into the Pelosi residence, seeking Nancy Pelosi to "break her kneecaps," but instead assaulted her husband, Paul, with a hammer, inflicting severe injuries including a skull fracture.
Facing state and federal charges including attempted murder, DePape pleaded not guilty and was ordered to be held in custody.
The attack has ignited political controversy and misinformation, prompting DePape's defense to investigate his mental state and susceptibility to untruths.

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.
