French authorities on Wednesday evicted hundreds of migrants from a squat in a southern suburb of Paris with just 100 days to go until the Olympics, encouraging them to board buses to other parts of France. Charities have accused the authorities of seeking to clear homeless people from the French capital to make it look better for the Games from July 26 to August 11. The abandoned office building in Vitry-sur-Seine had been home to up to 450 migrants, most of them documented but awaiting social housing, according to non-governmental organisations who visited to help them. Several had left the building earlier in the week after authorities announced the upcoming eviction. Clutching their belongings in bags, suitcases or trolleys, some 300 people who had remained left calmly on Wednesday morning under the eye of police in riot gear, looking worried about their next step. Most were young men, but several women with children were also among the crowd. One by one, holding documents in plastic folders, they approached immigration officials sitting behind tables to explain their situation in broken French or stilted English. Buses waited outside, ready to take them to the central city of Orleans or the southwestern city of Bordeaux. But many people said they did not want to leave the Paris region. «I want to stay here,» said Abakar, a 29-year-old from Sudan who did not give his second name. He said he was in Paris to follow a logistics course and had been promised a job in a supermarket. - 'Bordeaux is nice' - At one table, a woman official tried to convince another young man to try his luck in Bordeaux. «You know in France, there isn't just Paris. Bordeaux is nice, it's warmer than here,» she said. But he too was attending training in the capital region, and so she directed him to another table where a colleague was in charge of accommodation near Paris. Merci Daniel, a mother from Sudan, said she had sent her children to stay in a nearby shelter because there was «too much violence» inside the squat. But she did not want to leave the area as she was scared she would no longer see them if she did. An official found her a room at a hotel outside Paris for several days. Migrant and homeless charities have accused the authorities of seeking to remove the homeless from Paris and its outskirts before tourists arrive for the Olympics. «There are spaces in shelters near Paris, but clearly they want to move them away from the capital. Especially before the Olympics,» said Paul Alauzy, a representative from medical charity Medecins du Monde (Doctors of the World). Some mayors in rural and small-town France have also become increasingly angry over the transfer of migrants from the capital to their communities. © Agence France-Presse
Witnesses at a US Senate hearing on Boeing drew a disturbing picture Wednesday of an aviation giant that blows off safety questions and sidelines critics as it chases faster production and bigger profits. «The attitude from Boeing from the highest level is just to push the defective parts, regardless of what it is,» Boeing engineer Sam Salehpour told lawmakers on Capitol Hill. Salehpour, who has worked at Boeing for 17 of his 40 years in aerospace, said he became a whistleblower after he was punished for raising safety questions about the top-selling 787 Dreamliner and 777. He testified that he was blackballed by company higher-ups and feared for his personal well-being after raising concerns about safety. He maintains that the Dreamliner could show premature signs of fatigue, resulting in a catastrophic accident because of excessively large gaps in the plane's assembly. He likened it to a paper clip that is bent repeatedly. «You do it once or twice, it doesn't break, but it breaks at some time,» said Salehpour, who has said the entire 787 fleet should be grounded for investigation. Boeing acknowledged imperfections, but said it was making progress. «We know we have more work to do and we are taking action across our company,» the company said after the hearing, pointing to an uptick in its «Speak Up» portal to field employee input. Boeing has pushed back against Salehpour's allegations about the 787, pointing to extensive testing that shows no signs of fatigue. It also said that it had addressed the gap issue during a period when it slowed production and suspended deliveries -- a process tightly overseen by the Federal Aviation Administration. The FAA said in response to Salehpour's claims that the 787s currently flying are in compliance. The aircraft also received an endorsement Wednesday from United Airlines Chief Executive Scott Kirby, who told CNBC he was «totally confident the 787 is a safe airplane.» Lawmakers expressed alarm at testimony about alleged widespread manufacturing and quality control problems throughout Boeing's fleet, as well as the overly deferential approach of the FAA, which one witness described as «captive» to Boeing. «This requires a full-blown investigation,» said Republican Senator Ron Johnson of Wisconsin, calling for future hearings to hear from pilots, the airlines and other witnesses. Senator Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut, who chaired the hearing, said representatives of Boeing and the FAA were already scheduled to appear. - Going backwards? - The hearing comes as regulators escalate scrutiny of Boeing in the wake of a near-disastrous January 5 Alaska Airlines flight, in which a 737 MAX was forced to make an emergency landing after a fuselage panel blew out in mid-flight. The incident revived major questions around Boeing's safety practices that had initially arisen following two fatal crashes in 2018 and 2019, but which had subsided following a lengthy grounding of the 737 MAX. In late March, Boeing announced a leadership shakeup that included the retirement of Chief Executive Dave Calhoun at the end of 2024 and the replacement of Chair Larry Kellner with former Qualcomm CEO Steve Mollenkopf. In a recent message to shareholders, Mollenkopf pledged to «take the necessary steps to regain the trust lost in recent times.» «Boeing must commit to real and profound improvements and we will hold them accountable every step of the way,» the FAA said in a statement, reiterating the need for aviation employees to be able to speak up without fear of reprisal. The agency also pointed to a recent audit by an FAA advisory panel that found employee skepticism that safety complaints by workers would not result in retaliation. Former pilot Shawn Pruchnicki, now at Ohio State University, said a reporting culture was critical to improved safety, along with a chain of accountability all the way up to the CEO. Pruchnicki said despite promises he called «hollow,» there was no sign Boeing has reformed itself. «So it leaves one to wonder, have we gone backwards?» he asked. © Agence France-Presse
