23 Sept 02:51 Key points summarised by AI

North Korea launched a second suspected ballistic missile into the sea, just days after reporting a hypersonic missile test, escalating regional tensions.
The launch coincided with a UN Security Council meeting discussing Pyongyang's previous missile test, drawing strong condemnation from South Korea, Japan, and other nations.
Analysts suggest the timing aimed to maximize political impact and diversify North Korea's nuclear arsenal, despite international calls for denuclearization dialogue.
The repeated tests highlight North Korea's continued military advancements under Kim Jong Un, while diplomatic efforts with the US remain stalled.

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.
