13 Sept 10:56 Key points summarised by AI

An Israeli airstrike in Yemen's capital, Sanaa, killed Ahmad Ghaleb al-Rahwi, the prime minister of the Houthi-run government, and several other ministers.
This marks the first time senior Houthi officials have been killed in such an attack, signifying a major escalation in the regional conflict.
The strike follows the Houthis' continued targeting of Red Sea vessels and missile launches towards Israel, actions taken in solidarity with Palestinians amidst the Gaza war.
Israel lauded the strike as a "crushing blow" and vowed further action, while Houthi leadership condemned the attack, vowed revenge, and appointed a new acting prime minister.

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.
