A bus carrying passengers collided with a stationary train on the French side of the Channel Tunnel, resulting in 19 injuries. Two individuals were airlifted to the hospital, though officials stated that no lives were in immediate danger.
Meanwhile, protests by French high school students continue to gain momentum. The demonstrations, initially sparked by concerns over staff shortages and deteriorating school facilities, have seen an authoritarian response, with reports of a teenager losing a hand and over 6,000 young people being taken into police custody. Actor Omar Sy has publicly supported the students and condemned the crackdown.
