21 Sept 05:45 Key points summarised by AI

Imprisoned Iranian activist Narges Mohammadi received the Nobel Peace Prize for her unwavering dedication to women's rights, democracy, and campaigning against the death penalty.
Despite numerous arrests and a 31-year prison sentence, Mohammadi has remained a leading voice for women-led protests in Iran, including those ignited by Mahsa Amini's death.
The Nobel Committee recognized Mohammadi as the undisputed leader of a crucial movement, urging her immediate release and emphasizing the prize as a clear message against Iran's crackdown on human rights defenders.
From behind bars, Mohammadi affirmed her resolve to continue striving for democracy, freedom, and equality, while the Iranian government criticized the award as part of 'anti-Iranian policies'.

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.
