17 Sept 09:02 Key points summarised by AI

Thai workers are commencing their return to Israel's agricultural sector, with the first 200 departing soon and 5,000 expected over the next two to three months.
Israel is actively recruiting 10,000 foreign workers for its crucial agricultural sector, offering 63-month contracts and competitive salaries.
The return follows direct safety assurances from Israeli authorities, despite the ongoing conflict and the tragic loss of 41 Thai lives in the October 7th attack.
Thai officials conducted on-site assessments before approving the return and are now negotiating to secure additional job opportunities in Israel's construction and industrial sectors.

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.
