'Spanish Stonehenge' emerges from drought-hit dam
13 Sept 15:58Key points summarised by AI
The 'Dolmen of Guadalperal,' dubbed 'Spanish Stonehenge,' has fully emerged from Spain's Valdecanas reservoir due to the country's worst drought in decades, revealing a prehistoric stone circle.
Dating back to 5000 BC, this megalithic site was submerged in 1963 and has only been fully visible four times since, offering archaeologists a rare opportunity for study.
While its emergence boosts local tourism, it highlights the severe impact of climate change and drought on the region, with the reservoir's water level dropping to 28% capacity and devastating local agriculture.
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.
