14 Sept 17:39 Key points summarised by AI

Elias Rodriguez faces murder charges for fatally shooting two Israeli embassy staffers, Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Lynn Milgrim, outside the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington.
Rodriguez, who traveled from Chicago with a legally purchased gun, ambushed the victims, firing 21 bullets into their backs and continuing to shoot after they fell.
Upon arrest, Rodriguez spontaneously stated, "I did it for Palestine, I did it for Gaza," and shouted "Free Palestine," also expressing admiration for Aaron Bushnell.
Lischinsky, an Israeli citizen, and Milgrim, an American employed by the Israeli embassy, were both pronounced dead from multiple gunshot wounds.

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.
