- French train operator SNCF has reported acts of intentional vandalism on several high-speed rail routes. The incidents, which have led to disruption, come immediately ahead of the opening of the 2024 Paris Olympics.
What we know so far
"This is a massive attack on a large scale to paralyze the TGV network," SNCF told the AFP news agency. The operator added that many routes would have to be canceled and the situation would last "at least all weekend while repairs are conducted." By mid-morning, the company said some 800,000 passengers were affected. Traffic on the high-speed line between Lille and Paris has been cut off since 5:15 a.m. after "a malicious act in the Arras area," according to SNCF. On the route between Paris and eastern France, the company said vandalism between Metz and Nancy was seriously disrupting traffic. Traffic was also cut on the Atlantic line after "an act of vandalism near Courtalain," where the tracks divide for Brittany and Nouvelle-Aquitaine. "Deliberate fires were started to damage our installations. SNCF network teams are already on site to carry out the diagnosis and begin repairs," the broadcaster BFMTV reported SNCF as saying. According to the channel, there were also thwarted sabotage attempts on the southeastern line from Paris.

It looks like they're preparing for war not Olympics.
welcome to 2024
Do you the means the saboteurs, the Russians? They're already at war, in Ukraine, by their own choosing and unrprovoked, too.
Some real July 1914 vibes.
It's so sad :(
Safer than Chicago lol That's not really a high bar...
He’s a wuss 😂 Chicago is very safe.
Which part..? It's like folks who don't live in cities think every block is the same 'lawless urban jungle' while being completely unaware how ignorant that sounds
@@BardovBacchus”lawless urban jungle” like just say the n word atp
@@Betts711Yeah right, said no one ever
Exactly Chicago is the most dangerous place in the world. It makes no sense why 10 million people would choose to live in the Chicago metro area when the media is constantly saying how dangerous chicago is. Please tell everyone to sell their homes. I definitely dont have friends and family that have been struggling to find Chicago houses to buy 😊.
Better call all those new engineers and scientists to fix this!
Islamists or Russia, what’s on your bingo card?

When has it become necessary to mobilize such massive forces for security of Olympic games in Western Europe?

No one cares about Celine unless you’re from Quebec and they rather not be Canadians with the perks of being a Canadian.

Why is all that security required with all your new doctors and scientists?😂😂😂
It's saddening that that's what is has come down to. We are afraid of attacks on celebrations.
Safer than Chicago 😂
EDK is MAGAt 😢
Most of the planet is safer than the US. OK some countries currently have military conflicts, or other issues going on. But most countries in the would don't have an epodemic of gun violence like the US does.
@@matthewbaynham6286 crime is down 56%, so… your comment is not factual
@@Betts711 even if crime levels drop by 56% it's still less safe than most of the rest of the world.
With that number of security forces armed with high powered weapons, youd think paris is in a state of war. How can you enjoy the games when you have fear at the back of your mind.
Literally, watch the game and understand it's obviously for your protection...
Nobody is asking you to go. Atlanta ...
Peaceful people at it again 😅
Are these costs on the Games balance sheet?
Well, well, well … who could be the perpetrators?
France has a history of terror attacks and sabotage might be a shaping operation for something bigger. We'll know only after Olympics about the perpetrators.
Islamists
Is not like it was a bomb, it could be anyone and even if it was a bomb I'm not sure that Islamits are always behind that

This is the worst reporting I’ve ever seen on DW
Then make your own news channel
Agreed.
@@sebastiaanl9876Ya, and you're not invited to comment on comments child.
I can't understand the indian accent
I guess I more meant the article was supposed to be about the high speed rail interruption but barely had any info on it. The accents were fine to me but I’m definitely used to this channel; I actually love the Indian accent that learned German then English ❤️
Insane how people let it come to this point that they are unsafe in their own country.
Unless the culprits are apprehended, what will happen next? Just thinking about it is frightening.
Stop being so dramatic
Like Trump winning the election? Putin is behind both
Wow beautiful cultural enrichment, diversity is our strength. Now import more people France.
Quick question, were these systems run on Windows?
French version of Windows 😂
Is windows more vulnerable to arson?
I know that one of our two police forces uses linux, but yeah obviously cloudstrike also stroke here.
Windows Vista™
@@cyberfunk3793 Countries that use their own version of Linux (for example Russia) have almost never problems. Critical infrastructure should never use windows.
The moral of the story is be careful who you vote for
No, the moral of the story is Putin.
@@ianjones7488 nope Putin doesn't care about french
Paris is not eligible to host the Olympics. Today trains in Paris have been subjected to acts of vandalism. France has deep internal problems in enforcing safety for citizens and visitors.
thats what I was thinking a few weeks ago, lets hope it doesn't get worse. And guess where I am going on holiday in a few days, south of France
Try Deutsche Bahn or railways in the UK
@@ianjones7488 railways uk are fine
Is this the Indian version of DW? Wtf
It takes a whole society's efforts to build advanced transports like high speed trains, but as always with humans it only takes a handful to ruin it for everyone else.
“Malicious attacks” . Interesting editorialising? You could call it something thing else that’s more appropriate beginning with “T” and ending in “ism”.
Seems like such a safe place to go 🤷♂️ unbelievable
Nothings “safe”
Of all the countries in the world, France gets the most tourists. So either the tourists thinks so or they take it in their stride. "To see Paris and die"...
I wouldnt go to france if you pay me
@@antebaric3021 Rest assured, as the world's top tourist destination, France gets by fine without you.
@@peabase france is nothing to me....cheers
This is why private car ownership is so important. If you don't own a car, both foreign and local governments have full control over your movements, and they can lock you in place whenevre they want to.
private car ownership in a city is great and all, untill they start blocking the roads...
Or locking your car 😅
only if you can produce your own fuel
Paris is out of control, seems like there is no government. Sad to see beautiful city went downhill.
In your very vivid imagination. You do realise that these rail lines are not actually in Paris
Unfortunately, I very much doubt celine dion will be performing anything at all due to her serious health condition.
Who cares
There are Olympic games starting?
As a French citizen, it seem some things in the methodology could made think it would be some far left acrivist.
The islamists wouldn t have a non violent action like that. (When i said non violent, i mean not hurting or killing people)
And the russians? Possible, but when you see the tensions in the country i think more of an inside ennemy.
le gouvernement là fait lui même , pour combler son incapacité sécuritaire et son manque d'effectif .
en empêchant des millions de gens d'utiliser les axe de trains principaux , ils on pu ainsi éviter le risque d'atttenttats .
c'est simplement pour ne pas avouer leur énorme lacune sécuritaire
I find it funny how everybody is speculating about Russia and Islamists when it's usually anarchists when it comes to arson like this in France.
An action by the French far left is indeed possible. The saboteurs simultaneously hit hotspots in the high-speed rail network. They knew these strategic places.
Sabotage of the southeast network was narrowly averted, but the perpetrators have not yet been caught.
Islamists and Russia are also in it as well.
It's Petty Putin

If Putin has his way, yes.
@@ianjones7488 Do you really believe that Putin is the ONLY dangerous bad guy?.
Chicago is such a low bar to compare to on the security issue.
Even Mexico city is safer than Chicago lol

what you are expecting in an Africa country.
definetly not an african job
And then west says Asia is unsafe. 😅
No one says that
Well, that depends on where in Asia. Asia is huge and some countries are really dangerous, like Iran, Syria, Iraq. But Japan, South Korea are really save. So, in the end depends on where you are talking about
@@Gustavo_Deutschland and Iran is a very safe country
As a french even me can hear the strong french accent at 2 minutes 20
How does it sound for you is it awful ?
He should carry a firearm if he wants to feel safe in Chicago. Its the same thing law enforcement is doing in France.
Not really. In European countries, gun ownership is very limited and policed. Most people are quite happy with it. We don’t have to fear for our lives in every single interaction.
That’s why most attacks in Europe happen with knives or cars, not assault weapons. It requires a criminal or terrorist organisation to be able to organise a terrorist attack, and our secret services work hard and stop most of those.
Also, police firearm use is extremely restricted. So we almost never get police killings, and those are severely punished.
Watching in on the US from the outside is always mind-boggling, for the absurd attachment to firearms, the refusal of basic healthcare, the obsession with work over everything that matters in a human life,…
Have you compared to the murder rates in France with the US?
Every single G7 countries in decline 😢😢😢
LOL the French taxpayers are getting screwed hard
Selection of words !!!!!! it's an act of terrorism...but to Respect Far Right ..."Malicious".
Locals were poised to protest. All the security was to keep the locals back not outside terrorists. Also they like to call supporters of Palestine terrorists.
Where the gangster who scaped from the prision in France ?

I'm French and this is hilarious because the Olympics Games are Macron's little baby But you should not forget how much he's hated in France for everything he did.
So to have his Olympics Games ruin would be so so funny🤣🤣🤣
Imagine being so bitter you would wish for such a national event to be ruined just to stick it to one person who you don't even know why you don't like
Olympic games are a jokes. Sorry for the athletes, who train to take part in this sell out event.
@@lupolinar No they aren't a joke just because your athletes were banned from them.
@@lhommeaudacieux Well it's Macaroni that wanted to play Napoleon against Russia, so it might be Russia that does this but at the other hand, can we blame Russia? I don't think so. Macron wanted to play tough guy for no good reason, so there are consequences.

Why so worried? Your law abiding citizens gave up their guns years ago. See where that got you?
Where are the guns here, sweetheart?
@@ianjones7488 You use guns to protect your life and property, sweetheart. It all9ws for a show of force and acts as a deterrent. Why do you think we're don't have huge, violent protests by Hamas in Phoenix? Because citizens own about 20 million guns in my state.
I dont blame them for what the ioc did with the opening ceremony with all the wokes
Look for sud rail and lfi
LOL at this corrupt sporting event I'm forced to pay for.
Really, darling, did you pay for it all?
Now when I'm asked to go to Paris my answer is " Why "
I wonder if you've ever applied for a passport.
I'm sure everybody will be disappointed if you don't go. I had a great time in May and I'll be back again next year.
Sabotage is a French invention from the wooden shoes days.
none of these measure (imagine how much all these costs and compare it to the "cheap labour forces needed" logic) or very little would be needed if France would be not full of immigrants with totally different cultures, who don't want to integrate and some even get radicalised. This is the result when you fail to integrate millions into your culture and paralel societies are created... (haven't seen the Japanese or Chinese people prepare as if the will be going to war in the past editions of the games...)
As a french i agree..
integration is ONLY a matter of PERSONAL willing , nobody can assimilate by force millions of people
MALICIOUS MY ASSH!
My bet is either Just Stop Oil or Extinction Rebellion. Those geniuses just haven't realised that it will result in more cars on the road ... Tbh, most French probably haven't noticed much difference to their public transport seeing as there seems to be strikes in France every few months anyways ...
Unlikely.
Unlikely, they're in favour of sustainable transport
Do you think all those athletes and dignitaries are coming by sustainable means? No I reckon they want to reduce global travel and they will use the Olympics as a platform. I bet we'll hear more of them as the games progress...
No, sweetheart, it's just your personal prejudices kicking in.
@@DarkHelixia I shan't hold my breath
This is the result of the far-left French government's own doing, and I sympathize with the decent patriots who oppose it.
bet they blame russia tro haha best look closer to home you let them in 😂😂
*Thanks for keeping us updated! I feel sympathy and empathy for our country. low income people are suffering to survive, and I appreciate Amanda. You've helped my family with your advice. imagine investing $30,000 and receiving $95,460 after 28 days of trading*
I began investing in stocks and Def earlier this year, and it is the best choice l've ever made. My portfolio is rounding up to almost a million, and I have realized that when a stock makes it to the news. Chances are you're quite late to the party, the idea is to get in early on blue chips before it becomes public. There are lots of life changing opportunities in the market, and maximize it
What opportunities are there in the market, and how do I profit from it?
You can make a lot of money from the market regardless of whether it strengthens or crashes. The key is to be well positioned.
I would really like to know how this actually works.
All you need is a good capital, and the service of a professional broker, with those your investment will most certainly produce high yields.
