King Charles III was diagnosed with cancer after a recent hospital procedure for benign prostate enlargement and has begun treatment.
Doctors have advised the King to postpone public duties, though he will continue with state business and official paperwork.
The palace released the diagnosis to prevent speculation and aid public understanding, prompting an outpouring of support from world leaders and his son Prince Harry, who will visit.

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

Yesterday 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.
