13 Sept 09:33 Key points summarised by AI

Thailand forcibly repatriated Uyghur detainees to China after eleven years of detention, drawing strong condemnation from the Campaign for Uyghurs.
Rushan Abbas, executive director of the Campaign for Uyghurs, labeled the deportation a "death sentence" and a continuation of the ongoing Uyghur genocide.
Abbas asserted that Thailand's decision, made under pressure from the Chinese government, prioritizes political or economic interests over human lives and undermines the safety of Uyghurs seeking refuge.

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.
