Thais in Northern Ireland advised to be cautious following terrorism threat warning
13 Sept 21:11Key points summarised by AI
The Thai Embassy in London advised Thai nationals in Northern Ireland to exercise caution, not panic, following the UK's increase in the terrorism threat level.
The UK's MI5 elevated the threat from “substantial” to “severe” (attack highly likely) due to increased Northern Ireland-related terrorism activity, including the attempted murder of a high-profile police officer last month.
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.
