Latest California storm leaves at least two dead, breaks levee

13 Sept 14:51 Key points summarised by AI

A powerful new storm caused a levee breach on the Pajaro River in Monterey County, forcing thousands to evacuate and resulting in at least two deaths.
The storm, part of a 'Pineapple express' atmospheric river, is expected to dump significant rain and accelerate the melting of heavy snowpack, threatening to worsen existing flood conditions.
Residents faced urgent, often nighttime, evacuations as floodwaters rapidly inundated areas, with officials using drones to search for stranded individuals.
US President Joe Biden approved an emergency declaration to expedite federal aid, while Governor Gavin Newsom affirmed California's full deployment of resources to combat the ongoing, deadly storms.

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.
