Australia orders 200,000 to flee floods moving towards Sydney

13 Sept 08:09 Key points summarised by AI

Australian authorities issued evacuation orders for 200,000 people as severe floods, already claiming 13 lives along the east coast, advanced towards Sydney.
The unpredictable storm front, intensified by an "atmospheric river," caused widespread havoc, with rivers and reservoirs overflowing and submerging homes.
Sydney's Warragamba Dam, a major water source, is spilling over, exacerbating flooding, while meteorologists warn of dangerous, life-threatening flash floods from continued heavy rainfall.
Experts highlight that climate change is increasing the frequency and intensity of Australia's extreme weather events, including these severe floods.
Emergency services anticipate conditions to worsen before improving, urging residents to comply immediately with evacuation orders for their safety.

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.
