13 Sept 18:55 Key points summarised by AI

Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha instructed Thai authorities to seek an Interpol Red Notice for Red Bull heir Vorayuth Yoovidhya.
The Red Notice aims for Vorayuth's provisional arrest and extradition to Thailand to face trial for an 8-year-old fatal hit-and-run case.
Vorayuth is now indicted on charges of reckless driving causing death and illicit drug use.
The case was reopened after public outrage over the initial decision by the Office of the Attorney-General to drop charges, leading a special panel to find mishandling by law enforcement agencies.
