13 Sept 14:23 Key points summarised by AI

Rains have eased in Australia's New South Wales, but authorities continue to warn residents of rising floodwaters and persistent dangers.
Emergency services responded to hundreds of calls and performed 21 flood-related rescues, issuing 94 flood warnings and some evacuation orders.
Despite current dry conditions, rivers are still rising, and officials anticipate prolonged flooding for weeks to months, with another storm expected from Wednesday.
The region is under a rare third consecutive La Nina event, contributing to record-breaking rainfall, saturated land, and increased risks of landslides.
Motorists are strongly advised to avoid waterlogged roads due to dangerous conditions and the ongoing rise of river levels.

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.
