Trump says will sign order to get 'transgender ideology' out of military

9 Sept 22:29 Key points summarised by AI

Donald Trump announced plans to sign an executive order to remove "transgender ideology" from the US military, aiming to ensure a more lethal fighting force.
This move would reverse President Biden's current policy allowing transgender individuals to serve openly, reinstating restrictions similar to those during Trump's first term.
The decision reflects a recurring political battle, with Democratic administrations supporting open transgender service and Republican administrations seeking to ban it.
Critics argue that dismissing qualified transgender personnel weakens the military, particularly amid recruitment challenges, while Trump claims they are disruptive and costly.

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.
