Malaysian opposition leader Anwar plans new government

13 Sept 13:05 Key points summarised by AI

Opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim announced he has secured a parliamentary majority to form a "strong, stable and formidable" new government in Malaysia.
Anwar stated he has an audience scheduled with the king to present his majority, asserting that the current government under Muhyiddin Yassin has fallen.
The claim was immediately countered by Science and Technology Minister Khairy Jamaluddin, who tweeted a picture of a Cabinet meeting, denying any collapse.
This potential development signifies a dramatic political comeback for Anwar, who has faced a roller-coaster career including imprisonment, and previously formed an alliance that won in 2018 before collapsing.

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.
