13 Sept 10:49 Key points summarised by AI

Australian police are investigating why 40-year-old Joel Cauchi, who suffered from mental illness, appeared to target women during his Sydney mall rampage, as five of the six fatalities were female.
Cauchi's father suggested his son's lack of social skills and frustration over wanting a girlfriend might have contributed to the attacks, expressing heartbreak and regret over his son's actions.
Six people were killed, including a new mother who tragically handed her wounded baby to strangers before dying, and a male security guard; a lone police inspector heroically shot the attacker dead.
A comprehensive police investigation and public coronial inquiry will be held to examine the attack, including the killer's past interactions with state health authorities.

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.
