A gunman in Rotterdam, Netherlands, killed three people—a 14-year-old girl, her mother, and a teacher—in twin attacks at a house and a hospital.
The 32-year-old suspect, dressed in combat gear, opened fire and set fires at both locations, causing widespread panic and prompting a swift police response.
Authorities are investigating the motive, suggesting the attacks were targeted and potentially linked to the gunman's prior animal cruelty conviction and a possible rejection from a university hospital course.

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.
