Broadcast overview
An AI-generated overview based on this broadcast's transcript.
French Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu called for partial curfews after weekend riots and said there would be full transparency, with local and national reviews of how the disorder unfolded. More than 2,400 people have been arrested and nearly 1,000 emergency workers injured after initially peaceful protests over the cost of living and education turned dangerous in several cities. Marseille banned public gatherings and demonstrations between midday and 8 p.m. today. A correspondent in Paris reported calm on Monday but said the Gilets Jaunes had called for further protests next weekend and that curfews, a state of emergency and transport restrictions were among options being considered. President Emmanuel Macron was on a three-day trip to the Gulf.
Microsoft's head of security, Hayete Gallot, told Sky News that the threat from AI was not hype but real and that the company's strategy was to fight rogue agents with guardian agents. She said Microsoft's security systems already monitor 165 trillion signals a day, and that the new secure AI agentic system would initially be available only to top-tier customers; Microsoft also called for more transparency from frontier labs about how their models reason. President Trump later announced and signed an executive order establishing a Women's Health Division within the National Institute of Health and a White House Women's Health Task Force led by Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy. He said the initiative, conceived by first lady Melania, would promote research into understudied diseases affecting women and improve diagnosis and treatment.
Four people were arrested after a police officer was shot and injured in Nottingham city centre yesterday. The officer remained in hospital in a stable condition; a 27-year-old woman was being questioned on suspicion of possession of a firearm with intent to endanger life, and three others were arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender after arrests in Nottingham and Bedfordshire. In Kenya, doomsday preacher Paul Mackenzie was found guilty of the murders of 191 people, all but one of them children. His cult was alleged to have forced children to starve to death so they could meet Jesus, and more than 400 bodies were found in shallow graves in the Shakahola forest; he had pleaded not guilty and faced other cases including terrorism and radicalisation.
