21 Sept 04:23 Key points summarised by AI

Four Vietnam Airlines flight attendants were detained in Ho Chi Minh City after allegedly transporting 11.4kg of ketamine and cocaine from Paris, discovered hidden in toothpaste tubes in their luggage.
They were subsequently released on bail as initial inquiries suggest they were unaware of the drugs, with authorities finding insufficient evidence for criminal charges; police continue to investigate the case and have arrested two other suspects.

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.
