13 Sept 10:40 Key points summarised by AI

Ukraine accused Russian forces of killing seven civilians, including a child, in an attack on an evacuation convoy near Kyiv, although officials later clarified the convoy was not on an agreed 'green corridor'.
French President Emmanuel Macron reported that Russian President Vladimir Putin showed no willingness to end the war during a joint call with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, despite ongoing crisis talks between Moscow and Kyiv.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy stated that 1,300 Ukrainian troops had been killed and reported significant Russian army losses, as major cities like Kyiv, Kharkiv, and Mariupol remain encircled under heavy shelling.
Humanitarian efforts face severe challenges, with shelling impeding civilian evacuations from besieged cities and creating a dire situation in places like Mariupol, where basic supplies are scarce and makeshift burials are occurring.

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.
