10 Sept 23:34 Key points summarised by AI

A gunman opened fire in a central Manhattan skyscraper, killing four people, including a police officer, before apparently taking his own life, with another victim in critical condition.
The assailant, identified as Shane Tamura from Las Vegas, entered 345 Park Avenue with an M-4 rifle, immediately opening fire on an officer and "spraying the lobby" with bullets.
Authorities reported that Tamura, who had a history of mental health issues, acted alone, and a revolver, ammunition, and magazines were found in his vehicle.
The incident, occurring around 6:00 pm, prompted a massive police response and lockdown in the busy Midtown Manhattan district, an area home to major corporate offices.

Macron condemns those who 'sought to bring down the Republic' after rioting mars nationwide protests

Today 12:56 Key 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.
