China ready to launch first crew to new space station

14 Sept 04:51 Key points summarised by AI

China prepares to launch its first crewed mission in nearly five years, sending three astronauts to its new Tiangong space station.
The mission, a matter of national prestige, involves astronauts spending three months outfitting the Tiangong station's core module, Tianhe, marking China's longest crewed space mission to date.
This launch is a critical step in China's ambitious program, with 11 more missions planned to complete Tiangong, positioning it as a potential sole operational space station after the ISS retirement.
Driven by a US ban from the International Space Station, China's independent space station project highlights its rapid advancement as a leading global space power.

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.
