US aviation regulator probing system outage after huge disruption

A crucial FAA system outage, specifically the Notice to Air Missions (NOTAM) system, forced a temporary nationwide halt on all US domestic takeoffs.
The disruption caused massive travel chaos, leading to over 1,300 flights canceled and more than 9,800 delayed across the United States.
Preliminary investigations by the FAA traced the outage to a damaged database file, with authorities stating there is no evidence of a cyberattack.
The incident sparked widespread criticism of the FAA's infrastructure vulnerabilities and its leadership, prompting calls for a thorough inquiry into the cause and failure of system redundancies.

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.
