Trump hails Super Tuesday wins in race to the White House
13 Sept 07:41Key points summarised by AI
Donald Trump achieved overwhelming victories across Super Tuesday primaries, securing 14 out of 15 states and effectively clinching the Republican presidential nomination.
These decisive wins set the stage for an all-but-certain rematch against incumbent President Joe Biden in the November general election.
Nikki Haley's campaign faced a significant setback, only managing a win in Vermont, with her path to the nomination now considered non-existent.
President Joe Biden also easily secured his party's nomination through the Democratic primaries, facing minimal opposition.
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.
