14 Sept 02:09 Key points summarised by AI

A rapid wildfire, named the Mill Fire, forced thousands to evacuate their homes in northern California as it quickly spread over 1,000 acres.
Mandatory evacuation orders were issued for towns including Weed, Lake Shastina, and Edgewood, with emergency services establishing shelters and transporting students to safety.
The blaze erupted amidst a severe heatwave across the American West, with extreme temperatures and a two-decade drought creating tinder-dry conditions exacerbated by global warming, increasing wildfire risk.

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.
