Donald Trump was unharmed after an apparent assassination attempt at his Florida golf course, with authorities confirming a suspect is now in custody.
Secret Service agents engaged a gunman near the course boundary, recovering an 'AK-47 style rifle' and a GoPro camera, though it remains unconfirmed if the suspect fired.
This incident marks the second apparent attempt on Trump's life in two months, intensifying concerns about candidate safety and drawing renewed scrutiny on the Secret Service's protective measures.
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.
