13 Sept 09:28Key points summarised by AI
Nepal authorities located or recovered the bodies of 21 out of 22 people aboard a Tara Air plane that crashed into a Himalayan mountainside.
The De Havilland Canada DHC-6-300 Twin Otter aircraft, carrying 2 Germans, 4 Indians, and 16 Nepalis, crashed 15 minutes after taking off from Pokhara, bound for Jomsom.
The Nepalese government established a five-member panel to investigate the crash's cause and recommend future prevention measures, while difficult terrain and poor weather hindered rescue operations.
Macron condemns those who 'sought to bring down the Republic' after rioting mars nationwide protests
Today 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.
