Bali to welcome first international tourist flight amid cautious reopening

14 Sept 08:44 Key points summarised by AI

Bali is set to receive its first direct international tourist flight in nearly two years, a Garuda Indonesia flight from Tokyo carrying a small group of visitors.
Arriving tourists will face strict 5-7 day quarantine requirements, a cautious approach contrasting with less stringent rules in neighboring Southeast Asian countries.
This phased reopening aims to revitalize Bali's crucial tourism economy, despite a recent surge in COVID-19 cases driven by the Omicron variant.
Singapore Airlines will also resume flights to Bali from Singapore starting February 16, signaling further steps towards tourism recovery.

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.
