Ukraine nuclear plant back online as inspection prepared

13 Sept 08:26 Key points summarised by AI

Ukraine's Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant, Europe's largest, reconnected to the national power grid and resumed electricity production after being cut off, which Kyiv attributed to Russian shelling.
Ukrainian President Zelensky warned the situation remains 'very risky and dangerous,' despite the plant's reconnection, and stressed the need for international experts to secure the facility.
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) is preparing an urgent inspection of the plant, with a visit anticipated within days, amid escalating global concerns over nuclear safety.
The EU presidency announced an emergency summit for energy ministers to address the spiraling energy crisis, as the war in Ukraine has caused record-high electricity prices across Europe.
The US cautioned Russia against any attempts to divert power from the Zaporizhzhia plant to annexed Crimea, stating such actions would be 'unacceptable' and that the electricity belongs to Ukraine.

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.
