Over 80,000 people flee severe flooding in southwest China

11 Sept 05:15 Key points summarised by AI

Over 80,000 people were evacuated from their homes in southwest China's Guizhou province due to severe flooding, with a football field submerged under three meters of water.
Dramatic rescues unfolded, including a truck driver saved from a collapsed bridge and residents evacuated by boat from inundated villages.
This flooding is part of a summer of extreme weather across China, which includes intense heatwaves in some regions and heavy rainstorms in others, prompting the year's first red alerts for mountain torrents.
Scientists link the increasing frequency and intensity of such extreme weather phenomena to climate change, noting last year was China's hottest on record.

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.
