17 Sept 16:38 Key points summarised by AI

An "armed and dangerous" Army reservist, Robert Card, remains at large after allegedly killing 18 people and wounding 13 in a mass shooting at a Lewiston, Maine bowling alley and bar.
A massive police dragnet has locked down a wide area of Maine, with authorities conducting an intense manhunt and ordering residents to shelter in place.
The 40-year-old suspect, Card, a member of the US Army Reserve, was reportedly sent for psychiatric treatment recently after claiming to hear voices.
President Joe Biden condemned the "senseless and tragic" shooting, reiterating calls for stricter gun control measures and highlighting the recurring issue of gun violence in the United States.

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.
