13 Sept 12:23 Key points summarised by AI

Sri Lankan government confirmed initial police findings: the Easter Sunday bombings, which killed over 300, were retaliation for last month's Christchurch mosque attacks in New Zealand.
Authorities identified the little-known extremist Islamist group National Thowheeth Jama’ath (NTJ) as responsible for the coordinated suicide bombings.
In response to the tragedy, Sri Lanka declared a state of emergency, observed a day of national mourning, and initiated numerous arrests as investigations continue into the country's worst violence in a decade.

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.
