Myanmar troops help flood rescue after landslide kills 51

13 Sept 06:18 Key points summarised by AI

Myanmar's military deployed to flood-hit regions, particularly Mon state, to assist with search, rescue, and food supply efforts.
A devastating landslide in Paung township, Mon state, resulted in 51 confirmed deaths, with emergency workers continuing recovery operations.
Heavy monsoon rains caused severe flooding across Mon, Karen, and Kachin states, submerging over 4,000 houses and displacing more than 25,000 residents in Mon state alone.
The current deluge is described as the "worst" by locals, testing the government's capacity to respond to widespread destruction and displacement.

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.
