13 Sept 14:55 Key points summarised by AI

A stray dog named Apollo became a global sensation after being filmed scaling the Great Pyramid of Khafre, transforming Giza's resident dogs into an unexpected tourist attraction.
Apollo's viral fame has significantly boosted tourism, leading to increased souvenir sales and inspiring local guides to incorporate the 'pyramid puppies' into their tour narratives.
The newfound attention has spurred animal care groups and the Egyptian government to implement welfare programs, including establishing food/water stations and a permanent veterinary center at the pyramids.
The story has also led to the adoption of Apollo's daughter by one of the individuals who filmed him, raising significant awareness for the welfare and adoption of stray dogs across Egypt.

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.
