13 Sept 18:56 Key points summarised by AI

The U.N. human rights office (OHCHR) reports increasing evidence of Russian war crimes, including indiscriminate shelling, bombing of populated areas, and summary executions.
OHCHR also noted apparent use of weapons with indiscriminate effects by Ukrainian armed forces in the east, causing civilian casualties.
U.N. monitors verified 5,264 civilian casualties (2,345 killed, 2,919 injured) by April 20, with actual numbers expected to be significantly higher, especially in areas of intense fighting like Mariupol.
Documented atrocities include the unlawful killing of approximately 50 civilians in Bucha and over 300 alleged killings in other Russian-occupied regions.
The OHCHR has not found information to support allegations of genocide, stating that such legal qualifications are for a court of law to determine.

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.
