Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen tested positive for Covid-19 upon arrival in Indonesia for the G20 summit, shortly after hosting over a dozen world leaders at the ASEAN summit.
Though asymptomatic, the positive test prompted the Cambodian delegation's return home, causing Hun Sen to miss planned meetings with Chinese President Xi Jinping and French President Emmanuel Macron at upcoming summits.

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.
