14 Sept 01:19 Key points summarised by AI

India recorded a new daily high of 401,993 COVID-19 cases, pushing total infections past 19 million and deaths to 211,853.
Despite opening its vaccination drive to all adults, the country faces acute vaccine shortages, hindering efforts to combat the devastating second wave.
The surge has overwhelmed hospitals, leading to critical shortfalls in beds, oxygen, and medicines, with tragic incidents including a hospital fire killing 18.
The current wave added 7.7 million cases since late February, a significantly faster pace than the previous 7.7 million cases which took nearly six months.

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.
