Hawaii volcano, world's largest, erupts for first time in decades
14 Sept 03:34Key points summarised by AI
Mauna Loa, Hawaii's and the world's largest active volcano, erupted for the first time in nearly 40 years.
Lava flows are initially contained within the summit caldera, posing no immediate threat to nearby communities.
Authorities advise residents to review emergency preparedness, as lava could rapidly move downslope if eruptive vents shift outside the caldera.
No evacuation orders have been issued, but the summit area and several regional roads are closed as a precaution.
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.
