10 Sept 17:09 Key points summarised by AI

Chinese President Xi Jinping praised Thailand for its "strong measures" against scam centers targeting Chinese citizens, highlighting the importance of continued security cooperation.
These scam compounds, primarily along the Thai-Myanmar border, exploit trafficked foreigners to defraud people, significantly impacting Thailand's crucial tourism sector due to fears of kidnapping.
Both nations committed to strengthening cooperation in security, law enforcement, and judicial matters to safeguard their citizens' lives and property.
Thailand has taken decisive action, including cutting electricity to alleged fraud centers in Myanmar and facilitating the return of 61 rescued victims, demonstrating its commitment to tackling this national security issue.

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.
