23 Sept 02:18 Key points summarised by AI

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange was arrested in London after Ecuador revoked his nearly seven-year asylum in its embassy.
Assange was initially arrested for breaching UK bail conditions and subsequently on behalf of US authorities under an extradition warrant.
He faces potential extradition to the United States over charges related to the publication of classified US defense material, raising significant concerns about press freedom.
Ecuador's President Moreno stated he received written guarantees from the British government that Assange would not be extradited to any country where he could face torture or the death penalty.

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.
