A swell caught the bathers who were there this afternoon at the Barreirinha Bathing Complex by surprise. A wave breached the jetty and flooded the area where several people were, forcing them to quickly seek higher ground away from the water. The incident forced the hoisting of a red flag at Praia Formosa. No injuries were reported during the episode.

Weapon found by chance in a lake may be the key to solving one of France's most mysterious crimes

A weapon accidentally found in a lake in the French Alps could be the missing piece to solve one of France's most mysterious crimes. The case occurred on September 5, 2012, when Saad al-Hilli, his wife Iqbal and his mother-in-law Suhaila al-Allaf were found shot dead inside the family vehicle, in the French Alps region. A French cyclist, Sylvain Mollier, who was passing by, was also murdered. After 14 years, the perpetrator of the crime has never been identified, but authorities hope that the discovery of this weapon could finally lead to the resolution of the case.

Traffic changes: pedestrian bridge becomes just a "decoration" locked with iron bars

The Funchal City Council announced road changes that include the closure of a pedestrian bridge, which is now locked with iron bars, becoming a "white elephant". The mayor considers that the municipality "inherited" a city with many problems and tries to remedy situations with solutions that some consider insufficient, comparing the effort to "patching new cloth on old clothes". The changes take effect from the day after the announcement.

APA advises against swimming at three beaches in Póvoa de Varzim due to water contamination

The Portuguese Environment Agency (APA) has advised against swimming since Tuesday, September 1st, at three beaches in Póvoa de Varzim — Codixeira, Lagoa, and Zona Urbana Sul II — due to the detection of elevated levels of intestinal enterococci and/or Escherichia coli in the water. The measure, which is precautionary, will remain in effect until new laboratory analyses confirm that the required water quality parameters for swimming have been restored. Authorities recommend that swimmers respect the existing signage and follow the updated information provided by APA.
