Trump signs order barring trans athletes from women's sports

13 Sept 12:15 Key points summarised by AI

President Trump signed an executive order banning transgender athletes from participating in women's sports, declaring the "war on women's sports is over."
The order allows US government agencies to deny federal funding to schools that permit transgender athletes to compete on women's teams, aiming to protect female athletes.
Trump announced plans to pressure the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to change its rules on transgender athletes before the 2028 Los Angeles games and to deny visas to men attempting to fraudulently enter the US as women athletes.
This executive order is part of a broader series of actions by Trump targeting gender non-conforming people, reflecting his administration's stance in the ongoing culture war over transgender rights.

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.
