A deep-sea submersible, Titan, carrying five people on a voyage to the Titanic wreck, was destroyed in a "catastrophic implosion," resulting in the immediate death of all aboard.
Debris from the Titan was discovered on the seabed near the Titanic's bow, confirming the vessel's disintegration and concluding a five-day international search effort.
The five victims included OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush, British billionaire Hamish Harding, Pakistani businessman Shahzada Dawood and his son Suleman, and French oceanographer Paul-Henri Nargeolet.
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.
