13 Sept 16:47 Key points summarised by AI

Prime Minister Netanyahu affirmed that military pressure on Hamas is essential for both the return of hostages and achieving victory, despite the tragic friendly-fire deaths of three captives.
The accidental killing of three Israeli hostages, who were reportedly carrying a white flag, sparked protests and urgent appeals from other hostage families for renewed negotiation efforts.
Hamas reiterated its condition for negotiations, stating it would only discuss prisoner exchanges if Israel's military aggression against Gaza completely ceases.
The conflict continues to exact a heavy toll on civilians in Gaza, drawing international scrutiny, and has widened its impact, disrupting Red Sea shipping lanes due to regional attacks.

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.
