Trump fined $5,000 by New York judge for violating gag order

23 Sept 01:59 Key points summarised by AI

Judge Arthur Engoron fined Donald Trump $5,000 for violating a partial gag order during his civil fraud trial in New York.
The violation occurred because an insulting social media post targeting the judge's principal law clerk remained on a Trump 2024 campaign website for 17 days, despite being removed from Truth Social.
Engoron issued a stern warning, stating that future violations, whether intentional or not, could lead to significantly harsher penalties, including steeper fines, contempt of court, or even imprisonment.

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.
