Cybertruck explodes outside Trump hotel in Las Vegas, killing one
13 Sept 11:53Key points summarised by AI
A Tesla Cybertruck exploded outside the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas, killing one person inside the vehicle and injuring seven others with minor wounds.
Authorities are investigating the cause, with Tesla CEO Elon Musk suggesting the blast was from a bomb or large fireworks carried in the rented truck, not a vehicle malfunction.
FBI agents have labeled the incident as isolated, finding no immediate connections to an earlier truck attack in New Orleans or any terror groups, despite initial concerns due to the high-profile location and individuals involved.
Macron condemns those who 'sought to bring down the Republic' after rioting mars nationwide protests
Yesterday 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.
