Two bodies found as Baltimore bridge collapse moves from recovery to salvage

13 Sept 10:35 Key points summarised by AI

Two construction workers, Alejandro Hernandez Fuentes and Dorlian Ronial Castillo Cabrera, were found deceased in their truck within the Baltimore harbor, victims of the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse.
Authorities have shifted from a recovery mission to a salvage operation, citing unsafe diving conditions to reach four other presumed victims believed to be encased in the bridge's wreckage.
Federal investigators' preliminary findings reveal the cargo ship Dali experienced power failure and issued a distress call, prompting a rapid bridge closure that likely averted further casualties before the catastrophic impact.
The bridge collapse has closed one of the busiest US trading ports, creating significant supply chain disruptions and signaling a complex, costly, and lengthy rebuilding process ahead.

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.
