North Korea appears to have restarted nuclear reactor: UN agency

13 Sept 15:25 Key points summarised by AI

The UN atomic agency (IAEA) reports North Korea appears to have restarted its plutonium-producing nuclear reactor at Yongbyon, with indications of operation since early July.
This activity is deemed "deeply troubling" and a "clear violation" of UN resolutions, suggesting a potential expansion of North Korea's banned nuclear weapons program.
The restart occurs amid stalled nuclear talks between Pyongyang and Washington, prompting the US to reiterate the urgent need for dialogue and diplomacy to achieve complete denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula.

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.
