13 Sept 15:25 Key points summarised by AI

A powerful magnitude 6.8 earthquake struck Tibet near Mount Everest, resulting in over 120 deaths and 188 injuries, with tremors felt across neighboring Nepal, Bhutan, and India.
Rescue operations have successfully saved more than 400 trapped individuals and relocated over 30,000 residents, as search efforts continue under challenging sub-zero temperatures.
The quake destroyed 3,609 homes in Tibet's Shigatse region, but aid, including tents, food, and generators, has reached the site, and damaged roads have been reopened.
The region, prone to seismic activity due to tectonic plate collisions, experienced over 500 aftershocks following the main tremor.

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.
