Almost 1,000 arrested as police charge crowd in Paris and teargas used to stop protesters reaching other city centres

Hundreds of thousands marched in cities across France on Saturday in largely peaceful protests to support schoolchildren’s demands for more teachers and repairs to dilapidated buildings, as Emmanuel Macron faces a social and political crisis in his final months as president.

The prosecutor’s office in the southern city of Nice said on Sunday that 59 people had been taken into police custody, including 11 suspected of belonging to extreme-right groups. They were alleged to have gathered with the intent of committing violence. Some were arrested in two vehicles with masks, gloves, gas sprays and truncheons, the prosecutor’s office said in a statement to public broadcaster FranceInfo.

Paris march drew 110,000 people, according to police, amid fresh nationwide demonstrations over school funding and cost of living

Una ragazza di 18 anni è morta in Messico dopo essere precipitata da un’attrazione del luna park allestito per le feste tradizionali di Cabo San Lucas, una località balneare situata sulla punta meridionale della penisola messicana di Bassa California.

L’incidente è avvenuto all’inizio della settimana, mentre la giostra, una struttura a pendolo montata in via temporanea nell’area dell’evento, era in movimento.

A dare la notizia, mercoledì, è stato il municipio con un comunicato diffuso online. La giovane, secondo quanto riportato da almeno due testate locali, sarebbe stata sbalzata fuori dal braccio oscillante.

Le immagini, molto dure, che hanno iniziato a circolare sui social mostrano la vittima, indicata come Gabriela Rodríguez, cadere nel vuoto. In un video si vedrebbe anche il sistema di sicurezza, una barra rossa sulle spalle, sollevarsi prima della caduta. Un’altra ripresa mostra una persona che, dopo l’impatto della ragazza al suolo, viene investita.

Paura a bordo del volo United Airlines 1157, un Boeing 777 partito da Honolulu e diretto a Los Angeles, che mercoledì 21 ottobre ha attraversato una turbolenza definita “severa” durante la fase di discesa verso la California. Quattro assistenti di volo hanno ricevuto assistenza medica e una di loro è stata trasportata in ospedale. Tra i 190 passeggeri, secondo la compagnia, nessun ferito.

L’aereo era decollato dall’aeroporto internazionale Daniel K. Inouye intorno alle 13 ora locale, secondo i dati di FlightAware, ed è atterrato a Los Angeles poco prima delle 21. L’episodio si è verificato a circa 27.000 piedi di quota, a una decina di miglia dal punto in cui il pilota ha poi comunicato la situazione alla torre.

Nella registrazione audio diffusa da ATC.com, il comandante racconta di aver incontrato una turbolenza forte, durata circa cinque secondi. Il pilota ha poi parlato di un fenomeno brevissimo, simile a quello che si verifica quando si attraversa la scia di un altro velivolo. Il controllore ha quindi chiesto conferma dei feriti: dal cockpit sono arrivate le indicazioni su due assistenti di volo, entrambe donne, di 62 e 58 anni. La torre ha confermato l’invio dei soccorsi al gate.

About 200 firefighters deployed to tackle blaze at former Nazi mountain retreat in remote part of southern Germany

Police have arrested a 33-year-old German citizen after a fire ripped through Adolf Hitler’s former mountain retreat in Bavaria, leaving the historic Nazi meeting place – known as the Eagle’s Nest – largely destroyed.

About 200 firefighters were deployed on Friday night to tackle the blaze at the Nazi dictator’s remote, purpose-built Kehlsteinhaus residence, a protected building on the peak of Obersalzberg in southern Germany.

Established under the Franco dictatorship, the lunchtime ritual is in decline but all is not lost

A little before lunchtime each working day across Spain, evidence of one of the lingering, if less notorious, legacies of the Franco dictatorship is carefully traced in chalk, marker pen and printer ink.

Beckoning to hungry workers from blackboards, whiteboards and pieces of paper hastily taped to windows, the competitively priced menú del día, or daily set-price lunch, has been part of everyday Spanish life for more than half a century. But while 4m menús are still served each weekday, Spain is slowly losing its appetite for the familiar ritual.

People living in tents in northern France hoping to find asylum in England face increasing intimidation from police and far-right agitators

In the decade since the demolition of the “Jungle”, an area of Calais where thousands of asylum seekers set up makeshift shelters before embarking on Channel crossings to the UK, everything and nothing has changed.

This week, in a woodland clearing not far from one of Calais’s busy main roads, several brightly coloured tents are pitched. A jacket hanging from a tree branch blows in the brisk autumnal breeze alongside a belt decorated with union flags. It is only October but the wind makes the temperature feel several degrees chillier.
