A powerful storm battered Oaxaca, the capital city of the state of the same name, resulting in severe flooding and material damage. The storm caused widespread chaos, with vehicles being swept away by the deluge, trees uprooted, and a palm tree catching fire after being struck by lightning.
Although there were no casualties reported, civil defense teams and municipal personnel are currently working to repair the damage and provide support to those affected.
French President Emmanuel Macron arrived in the UK with First Lady Brigitte Macron for a three-day official visit at the invitation of King Charles III.
Welcomed by Prince William and Princess Kate at RAF Northolt, the Macrons traveled to Windsor, where they were received with full honors. A horse-drawn parade and a military band performance of the French national anthem marked the reception.
Macron later met King Charles and Queen Camilla at Windsor Castle, where a luncheon and a private viewing of French-related royal artifacts were scheduled. This marks Macron’s first official UK visit since taking office in 2017.
