'Miracle' Japan penguin found two weeks after escape
13 Sept 10:47Key points summarised by AI
Pen-chan, a six-year-old female Cape penguin, escaped from an event in Japan on August 25.
Despite being captive-born with no open-sea experience, she was found alive two weeks later.
Discovered 30 miles (45 km) away, she appeared healthy and was swimming normally, defying expectations.
Her keeper described her survival and journey as a "miracle," believing she must have caught her own food.
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.
