Beijing court begins compensation hearings for MH370 victims

13 Sept 06:22 Key points summarised by AI

A Beijing court has commenced compensation hearings for families of Chinese victims aboard Malaysia Airlines flight MH370, nearly a decade after its disappearance.
Over 40 families are suing Malaysia Airlines, Boeing, Rolls Royce, and Allianz for substantial financial compensation (between 10 million and 80 million yuan) and to uncover the truth behind the plane's vanishing.
Relatives expressed profound relief and hope that the legal proceedings will finally provide closure and alleviate their prolonged suffering.
The MH370 jet vanished on March 8, 2014, with 239 people; extensive international searches yielded minimal debris, and official investigations have failed to provide firm conclusions on its fate.

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.
