20 Sept 03:06 Key points summarised by AI

A US Air Force general reassured that recent mystery drone sightings in New Jersey will not affect Santa Claus's annual journey, as NORAD's tracking operation commenced.
NORAD's tradition of tracking Santa dates back to 1955, originating from a mistaken phone call to the military command's hotline.
The Santa tracker has evolved into a global phenomenon, with NORAD's website receiving over 20 million visits and hundreds of thousands of calls annually from children worldwide.
NORAD utilizes its sophisticated aerospace monitoring capabilities, including infrared-capable satellites that detect Rudolph's nose signature, to accurately track Santa's sleigh across the globe.

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.
