Brick thrown at Japan embassy in China in Fukushima spat

23 Sept 01:48 Key points summarised by AI

Japan confirmed a brick was thrown at its Beijing embassy, describing the harassment of Japanese citizens in China as "extremely regrettable" following the Fukushima wastewater release.
The incident escalates tensions after China banned all Japanese seafood imports in response to Japan's discharge of treated water, an operation Tokyo and the UN nuclear watchdog have declared safe.
Japan's foreign minister urged China to immediately take measures to calm the situation, ensure the safety of Japanese residents and diplomatic missions, and provide accurate, scientifically-backed information.
Chinese officials, while stating they protect foreigners, reiterated calls for Japan to halt the water discharge and address the "legitimate concerns" of its neighbors regarding the nuclear-contaminated water.

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.
