Trump warns 2024 election 'our one shot' to save America
1 Oct 23:28Key points summarised by AI
Donald Trump launched his 2024 presidential campaign, warning the upcoming election is America's "one shot" to be saved.
He sought to revive his campaign in key early primary states, reiterating debunked 2020 election claims, attacking "RINOs," and focusing on culture war issues.
Facing legal challenges and a slow campaign start, Trump positioned himself as an outsider ready to combat the "establishment" and "radical left-wing prosecutors."
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.
