14 Sept 00:46 Key points summarised by AI

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un issued a rare apology for the fatal shooting of a South Korean official near the disputed sea boundary, expressing deep regret for the "unexpected, unfortunate incident."
South Korea accused North Korea of fatally shooting one of its public servants, believed to be attempting to defect, and burning his body in line with strict anti-coronavirus measures.
Kim's apology, a highly unusual move, is expected to de-escalate tensions between the two Koreas and ease anti-North sentiments in South Korea.

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.
