After two years of closed borders, Australia welcomes the world back

14 Sept 02:12 Key points summarised by AI

Australia will reopen its international borders to all vaccinated travelers starting February 21, ending a two-year closure.
This move is set to revive the struggling tourism sector, boost migration, and inject billions into the economy, which faced significant losses during the pandemic.
The decision marks the end of a major COVID-19 response strategy, supported by high vaccination rates and a recent slowdown in Omicron variant cases.
While the tourism industry welcomes the reopening, it emphasizes the need for coordinated efforts to rebuild and ensure Australia's competitiveness as a global destination.

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.
