Cannes Film Festival Plunged into Chaos by Power Outage, Thousands in Dark Just Before Awards Night

A massive power outage struck southeastern France on Saturday, leaving around 160,000 households in the Alpes-Maritimes department without electricity.

The blackout came just hours after a fire at an electrical substation near Cannes had weakened the grid, creating a perfect storm of disruption.

The outage impacted the Cannes Film Festival, briefly halting screenings at some venues and causing traffic chaos as traffic lights failed in Cannes and nearby Antibes.

Festival organizers confirmed that the Palais des Festivals switched to an independent power supply and assured that all scheduled events, including the prestigious Closing Ceremony, would proceed as planned.

Trump to meet Modi as India-U.S. Tariff War comes to a head? PM Modi to visit U.S. in September

Prime Minister Narendra Modi is expected to visit the U.S. next month for the UNGA summit, with a possible meeting with Donald Trump to address strained trade relations. Ties have soured after Trump imposed a combined 50% tariff on Indian goods over market access disputes and Russian oil imports. India has rejected U.S. criticism, accusing Washington of double standards. If talks progress, Modi may invite Trump to India for the October Quad summit. Global tensions, including the Ukraine war, will also shape discussions. #Modi #Trump #IndiaUSRelations #TradeWar #Tariffs #UNGA #ModiTrump #QuadSummit #GlobalTrade #USIndiaTies #RussianOil #Geopolitics #TradeTalks #USPolitics #IndiaPolitics #BilateralTies #Diplomacy #BreakingNews #EconomicPolicy #TariffTensions #DoubleStandards #UkraineWar #ModiInUS #TariffWar #InternationalRelations #WorldNews #USIndiaTrade #EconomicDiplomacy #ForeignPolicy #TariffTrouble #ModiVsTrump Also Read Amid Tariff Row, PM Modi Likely To Visit US Next Month For UNGA Session :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/amid-tariff-row-pm-modi-likely-to-visit-us-next-month-for-unga-session-7828289.html?ref=DMDesc President Trump to Push Putin for Peace in Ukraine During Alaska Meeting :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/president-trump-to-push-putin-for-peace-in-ukraine-during-alaska-meeting-7828161.html?ref=DMDesc Why Is Trump Really Upset With India?
