Searchers find black boxes of aircraft in deadly Nepal crash

13 Sept 12:22 Key points summarised by AI

Search teams recovered both the cockpit voice recorder and flight data recorder from the Yeti Airlines ATR 72 crash site in Pokhara, Nepal, where at least 68 people died.
These "black boxes," found in good condition, are crucial for investigators to determine the cause of Nepal's deadliest plane accident in 30 years, despite occurring in clear weather.
Rescue operations continue amidst challenging cloudy weather and poor visibility to locate the remaining four missing passengers.
The incident renews calls to split Nepal's Civil Aviation Authority (CAAN), which acts as both regulator and service provider, to avoid potential conflicts of interest.
Tragically, the co-pilot of the ill-fated flight, Anju Khatiwada, had lost her husband in a similar plane crash in 2006.

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.
