13 Sept 14:01 Key points summarised by AI

Alec Baldwin vehemently denies responsibility for the fatal shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the "Rust" set, stating he did not pull the trigger and would have taken his own life if he felt culpable.
Baldwin recounted the incident, explaining the gun discharged when he was cocking it during a rehearsal with Hutchins, after being assured by crew members the weapon was "safe."
He emphasized that checking weapons is not an actor's duty, asserting he trusted the prop master and observed no safety issues, despite facing civil lawsuits alleging negligence.
Baldwin expressed confidence he would not face criminal charges, citing advice from legal experts, and stated he "couldn't imagine" making another movie involving guns.

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.
