10 Oct 02:10 Key points summarised by AI

Wagner chief Yevgeny Prigozhin and nine others died in a plane crash in Russia, confirmed by Russian officials, including the aviation agency.
The incident occurred two months after Prigozhin led a short-lived rebellion against Russia's military leadership, posing the biggest challenge to President Putin's authority.
Key Wagner figure Dmitry Utkin was also listed among the passengers on the private jet traveling between Moscow and Saint Petersburg.
International reactions, including from US President Biden, expressed little surprise, with a Ukrainian aide suggesting the crash was a 'signal from Putin' to Russian elites.

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.
