'You're going to hell': Trump attacks UN and Europe in scathing speech
11 Sept 05:39Key points summarised by AI
Donald Trump delivered a scathing speech at the UN General Assembly, criticizing the United Nations for failing to address global conflicts and live up to its potential.
He warned that migration is sending Western nations "to hell," lambasting the UN for "funding an assault" on these countries and directly telling European leaders their countries are suffering.
Trump dismissed climate change as the "greatest con job ever perpetrated" and criticized the recognition of a Palestinian state as a reward for Hamas.
In a significant shift, Trump stated that Ukraine could regain all its territory after meeting with Zelensky, and escalated rhetoric by suggesting NATO nations should shoot down Russian planes violating their territory.
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.
