Ex-PM Cameron makes shock return to UK government

16 Sept 01:04 Key points summarised by AI

Former Prime Minister David Cameron makes a surprising return to the UK government, appointed as Foreign Secretary by Prime Minister Rishi Sunak.
Cameron's comeback is part of a significant cabinet reshuffle by Sunak, which notably included the sacking of controversial Home Secretary Suella Braverman.
This strategic move is seen as Sunak's effort to assert authority and pivot the Conservative party towards a more centrist position ahead of an expected general election.
To facilitate his government role, Cameron will be made a life peer in the House of Lords, despite his previous exit from front-line politics and a past lobbying scandal.

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.
