Grim search for victims, flight recorder after China's first plane crash since 2010
13 Sept 23:41Key points summarised by AI
China Eastern Airlines flight MU5735, a Boeing 737-800 carrying 132 people, tragically crashed into mountains in southern Guangxi, with rescue efforts ongoing and fading hopes for survivors.
Chinese authorities, including Vice Premier Liu He, are overseeing a grim search for victims and the crucial flight recorder amidst challenging terrain, initiating an urgent investigation into the cause of the abrupt descent.
This incident marks China's first commercial jetliner crash since 2010, leading China Eastern to ground its entire 737-800 fleet and intensifying scrutiny on Boeing's aircraft safety record.
Macron condemns those who 'sought to bring down the Republic' after rioting mars nationwide protests
Yesterday 12:56Key points summarised by AI
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.
