14 Sept 02:24 Key points summarised by AI

A series of powerful earthquakes, including a shallow 6.9-magnitude tremor, struck the Indonesian islands of Lombok and Sumbawa on Sunday, killing at least five people.
These latest quakes, which also included a 6.3-magnitude tremor, triggered landslides, caused blackouts, and led to the collapse of structures already weakened by previous seismic activity.
Lombok is still reeling from two devastating earthquakes on July 29 and August 5 that claimed nearly 500 lives and displaced hundreds of thousands, with Sunday's events compounding the ongoing crisis.

The event marked the first release of images of Suu Kyi in two months and saw Myanmar authorities describe her as a "special female prisoner" for the first time.
Suu Kyi, who was deposed in a 2021 military coup that triggered an ongoing civil war, remains under house arrest on charges that rights groups contend are politically motivated.
