13 Sept 13:25 Key points summarised by AI

Waves of explosives-laden 'kamikaze' drones struck Ukraine's capital, Kyiv, setting buildings ablaze and collapsing a residential structure, killing four people and injuring others.
These Iranian-made Shahed drones, rebranded as Geran-2 by Russia, represent a second intense barrage in weeks, targeting energy facilities and civilian areas in what Ukraine describes as an attempt to terrorize the population.
Ukrainian President Zelenskyy condemned the attacks, asserting Russia uses drones due to battlefield losses and calling for increased air defenses, while the EU considers sanctions against Iran for supplying the drones.

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.
