France saw a record number of arrests following a major sporting event after deadly scenes broke out following Paris Saint-Germain’s victory over Inter Milan in the Champions League final on Saturday. Two people lost their lives, including a 17-year-old boy who was stabbed to death in Dax and a 20-year-old who was mowed down by a car in Paris. Several others were injured as a car crashed into the crowd in Grenoble. According to a report from Le Figaro, at least 192 people were injured during the chaos, including seven firefighters and 22 police officers, one of whom is said to be in a coma. The paper, citing police sources, said that 559 arrests were made throughout the evening into the early hours of Sunday, including 491 in Paris. This dwarfed previous sports-related violence, such as the 227 arrests following the 2022 World Cup final. The scenes sparked harsh condemnation from political leaders, including Interior Minister Bruno Retailleau, who condemned the “barbarians” and “thugs” who took to the streets following the soccer match. Authorities arrested a University of Michigan scholar with ties to the Chinese Communist Party for her involvement in allegedly smuggling a biological pathogen into the United States that could be used as a terrorism weapon to devastate U.S. food crops, according to a federal filing unsealed Tuesday. Prosecutors have charged the scholar, 33-year-old Yunqing Jian, and her boyfriend, 34-year-old Zunyong Liu, with conspiring to smuggle Fusarium graminearum, a crop-destroying fungus that produces toxins harmful to humans and livestock, into the United States. Investigators discovered evidence of Jian's membership in the CCP and say that she received funding from a CCP-backed foundation to conduct postdoctoral research on the pathogen, the Detroit News reported based on the filing. The arrest comes as the Trump administration has ramped up its efforts to counter CCP influence on American college campuses and beyond, tightening visa restrictions for Chinese researchers and cracking down on CCP-linked Confucius Institutes. Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced last week that the Trump administration will "aggressively revoke visas for Chinese students, including those with connections to the Chinese Communist Party or studying in critical fields." The administration will also ramp up "scrutiny of all future visa applications from the People's Republic of China and Hong Kong," Rubio said. From Mondo's discussion with an AI. Mondo didn't tell it who he is or his religious preference. He insisted the AI tell him which religion is true. Finally, you know what it said, it said based on logic and evidence and archaeological facts Christianity is head and shoulders the truest religion of all the religions in the world. That won't last on AI, they'll program that out sooner or later. One survivor has reportedly been found in the wreckage of an Air India Boeing 787-8 that had been bound for London with 242 people aboard, including 53 citizens of the United Kingdom, which crashed minutes after take-off in Gujarat on Thursday. It is stated the aircraft was fully fuelled for a long-haul journey, which contributed to a large fire at the site of the crash. While it was earlier reported the jet crashed within five minutes of taking off, the crash site is actually only a very short distance from the end of the runway and it is now stated the flight came down after less than a minute in the air. The captain was stated to be an experienced pilot with thousands of hours of flight time. The flight was a Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner. The Times of India reports that Captain Sumeet Sabharwal sounded the mayday by radio after take-off, and the jet had crashed into the Meghani Nagar neighbourhood of Ahmedabad... The paper published images of the tail-cone of the Boeing embedded in the roof of a building. A Tesla Model 3 reportedly in Elon Musk’s “full self-driving” mode drove around a crossing barrier and becoming stuck on train tracks in Sinking Spring, Pennsylvania, before being struck by an oncoming train. Electrek reports that in a bizarre incident, a Tesla Model 3 in “full self-driving” mode managed to circumvent a train crossing barrier and subsequently became stuck on the tracks. The driver, who remained unidentified, was able to safely exit the vehicle before a train hit the car. According to fire alerts issued in Berks County, emergency services were promptly dispatched to the scene. The fire commissioner made the decision to halt all train traffic while crews worked diligently to remove the stranded Model 3 from the tracks, ultimately requiring the use of a crane to complete the task. Spitlers Garage & Towing, the company responsible for the vehicle’s recovery, shared several images of the incident on their Facebook page.
