Hundreds of new fires in Brazil as outrage over Amazon grows

13 Sept 05:56 Key points summarised by AI

Hundreds of new fires are actively burning across Brazil's Amazon rainforest, intensifying a global outcry and prompting emergency responses.
Brazil has recorded 78,383 forest fires this year, the highest since 2013, with over half in the Amazon, causing widespread smoke and health concerns.
Following international pressure, Brazil deployed thousands of troops, firefighters, and specialized aircraft, with G7 leaders and other nations offering assistance.
The crisis is fueled by land clearing and Bolsonaro's controversial environmental policies, threatening a major EU-Mercosur trade deal and damaging Brazil's global image.

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.
