Catherine, Princess of Wales, announces cancer diagnosis
14 Sept 02:01Key points summarised by AI
Catherine, Princess of Wales, announced she is in the early stages of preventative chemotherapy for cancer, discovered after successful abdominal surgery in January.
She described the diagnosis as a "huge shock" and requested "time, space and privacy" for her and her family as she completes her treatment.
The disclosure follows King Charles III's own cancer diagnosis and aims to end widespread speculation and rumors about her health and whereabouts.
Messages of support have poured in from family, including Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, as well as political leaders like UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and the White House.
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.
