Trump to be booked at infamous Atlanta jail

1 Oct 02:30 Key points summarised by AI

Donald Trump is scheduled to surrender at Atlanta's Fulton County Jail on Thursday to face charges of attempting to overturn the 2020 election results.
The Fulton County Jail is notorious for its "unsafe, unsanitary" conditions, including insect infestations and rampant violence, prompting a Justice Department investigation.
Unlike his three previous arrests this year, Trump is expected to undergo standard booking procedures, including fingerprinting and a mugshot, with his bond set at $200,000.
Security is heightened around the facility as Trump and 18 co-defendants are processed for the racketeering case, with arraignments anticipated the week of September 5.

Macron condemns those who 'sought to bring down the Republic' after rioting mars nationwide protests

Today 12:56 Key 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.
