'Lioness' near Berlin still on the run
13 Sept 21:34Key points summarised by AI
German police are conducting an extensive search for a suspected lioness on the outskirts of Berlin, following a grainy video and a police sighting from early Thursday.
The massive operation involves over 100 police officers, drones, helicopters, and professional animal trackers, straining local resources as no further evidence or traces of the animal have been found.
Despite citizen tips, an expert expresses doubt about the animal's identity due to its complete disappearance, while residents are advised to act with caution, avoid forests, and keep pets safe.
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.
