13 Sept 08:36 Key points summarised by AI

South Korean opposition leader Lee Jae-myung is 'recovering well' after being stabbed in the neck, though close monitoring is still needed to avoid complications.
Lee sustained a 1.4 cm wound that cut 60% of his internal jugular vein during an attack by a man posing as a supporter in Busan.
He underwent nearly two hours of surgery in Seoul, with doctors confirming no damage to arteries, cerebral nerves, or airways, calling his survival 'pure fortune'.
The 66-year-old suspect, identified as Kim, faces attempted murder charges, with a court reviewing an arrest warrant.
Reports suggest the assailant, a real estate agent, was experiencing severe financial difficulties, including unpaid rent.

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.
