Huawei executive freed in Canada after deal with US prosecutors

21 Sept 03:44 Key points summarised by AI

Huawei CFO Meng Wanzhou was released from Canadian house arrest after US prosecutors agreed to suspend and eventually drop fraud charges against her.
Her release prompted China to free two Canadians, Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor, ending a three-year diplomatic dispute dubbed 'hostage diplomacy'.
The resolution eases a major diplomatic strain between Beijing, Washington, and Ottawa, though it doesn't fully resolve broader US concerns over Huawei's alleged ties to the Chinese government and sanctions violations.

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.
