13 Sept 11:11 Key points summarised by AI

California has eased Covid-19 reopening criteria, permitting theme parks and outdoor stadiums to welcome guests sooner than anticipated, starting April 1.
Major attractions, including Disneyland and Universal Studios, can reopen at reduced capacities, contingent on their county's coronavirus tier status.
The relaxed rules are specifically for outdoor activities and will initially limit attendance to California residents only.
This decision follows a sharp decline in Covid-19 cases and increased vaccination rates across the state, alongside pressure from operators.

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.
