15 Sept 08:30 Key points summarised by AI

The Saudi-led coalition escalated its aerial bombing campaign, striking a Huthi rebel camp in Sanaa and destroying weapon storehouses, citing an immediate response to an attempted weapon transfer.
This intensified air war follows recent Huthi rebel missile attacks that killed two civilians in Saudi Arabia, marking the first such fatalities in three years.
The coalition announced plans to present evidence of Lebanon's Iran-backed Hezbollah militia's involvement in the Yemeni conflict and their alleged use of Sanaa airport for targeting Saudi Arabia.
The prolonged civil war continues to deepen the world's worst humanitarian crisis, with the UN's World Food Programme forced to cut aid due to funding shortages, threatening a surge in hunger.

Macron condemns those who 'sought to bring down the Republic' after rioting mars nationwide protests

Yesterday 12:56 Key points summarised by AI

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.
