23 Sept 05:51 Key points summarised by AI

Boeing's Starliner capsule successfully docked with the International Space Station, marking a crucial milestone in its uncrewed test flight to restore the company's aerospace reputation.
The mission encountered technical challenges, including a delayed docking due to system issues and early propulsion problems with its thrusters, which ground control successfully addressed.
This high-stakes flight aims to certify Starliner as NASA's second 'taxi' service for astronauts to the ISS, providing a vital backup to SpaceX following Boeing's previous launch failures and development setbacks.

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.
