Le Monde: Trump defends pardons for January 6 rioters
On his first full day in office, President Trump defended his clemency decisions for individuals convicted of assaulting police during the January 6 Capitol attack, labeling their sentences as "ridiculous and excessive." He suggested that extremist groups like the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers could have a role in American politics.
Trump's pardons included over 200 individuals who pleaded guilty to assaulting police, despite the injuries sustained by at least 140 officers during the riot. Law enforcement organizations expressed their disapproval, stating that those convicted should serve their full sentences.

Times Of Israel: Iraq passes law that could allow for child marriages according to cleric rulings
Iraq's parliament passed three controversial laws, including amendments to the personal status law that critics argue would legalize child marriage by increasing Islamic courts' authority over family matters. The changes could allow marriages for girls as young as 9, undermining existing protections for women.
Proponents claim the amendments align Iraqi law with Islamic principles, while opponents warn of detrimental effects on women's rights. The session ended amid chaos, with complaints about procedural violations during the voting process. Additionally, an explosion at an ammunition depot resulted in casualties among security forces.
