Kim Jong Un entrenches daughter as likely heir, Seoul says

12 Sept 06:01 Key points summarised by AI

South Korean intelligence confirms Kim Jong Un's daughter, Ju Ae, is designated as his successor, citing her increasingly prominent public presence at official events.
Ju Ae's high-profile appearances, including accompanying her father to a missile launch, a visit to Beijing, and paying respects at the Kumsusan Palace of the Sun, solidify her image as the heir apparent.
North Korean state media now refers to Ju Ae with significant titles like 'great person of guidance,' a term typically reserved for top leaders and their successors.
Analysts suggest Ju Ae could assume a powerful position, such as First Secretary of the Central Committee, at the upcoming landmark party congress, with her attendance and protocol closely monitored.

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.
