26 Sept 08:49 Key points summarised by AI

Top US and Chinese negotiators resumed phone talks, described as "constructive" but "preliminary," to resolve the ongoing trade war after a truce declared at the G20 summit.
The US committed to delaying new tariffs and easing some restrictions on Huawei, while expecting China to promptly increase purchases of US agricultural products.
Existing punitive tariffs on over $360 billion in two-way trade remain in place, with US officials emphasizing that quality of a deal takes precedence over speed, setting no specific timetable.

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.
