French daredevil falls to his death from Hong Kong tower block

Police are investigating whether Remi Lucidi, 30, died while practicing extreme sports on Tregunter Tower in Hong Kong

In a tragic incident in Hong Kong, the extreme sports enthusiast Remi Lucidi, also known as Remi Enigma, lost his life after falling from the 68th-story of the Tregunter Tower complex, according to the South China Morning Post.

The 30-year-old French daredevil was pursuing his passion for climbing when the unfortunate accident occurred.

Lucidi arrived at the Tregunter Tower complex around 6 p.m. and claimed he was visiting a friend residing on the 40th floor.

However, suspicions arose when a security officer attempted to apprehend him after confirming that the alleged friend was not acquainted with Lucidi.

By that time, the adventurous climber had already secured an elevator, making it challenging for the security officer to catch up.

Security footage later revealed Lucidi’s movements as he ascended to the 49th floor and continued his ascent via the stairs towards the building’s pinnacle.

It was on the 68th floor where he tragically fell. Despite immediate attention, Remi Lucidi was pronounced dead at the scene.

Authorities in Hong Kong launched an investigation into the incident. Witnesses stated that the hatch leading to the roof was found open, raising speculation that Lucidi might have ventured onto the rooftop.

However, he was nowhere to be found, and it remains unclear how he ended up on the outside of the penthouse window.

At 7:38 p.m., a maid from the complex’s penthouse reported hearing a tapping sound on the window, which later turned out to be Lucidi seeking help.

Unfortunately, by then, it was too late to prevent the devastating outcome.

As investigators searched the scene, they discovered Lucidi’s camera, which contained footage of his other death-defying stunts and adventures.

The authorities have yet to release an official cause of death.

A worker at the hostel where Lucidi stayed in Hong Kong shared that the thrill-seeker had mentioned his vacation plans in the city.

However, no further details about the purpose of his visit have been revealed.

US government reopens after record shutdown, yet deep political rifts and funding uncertainties linger

In Short:
– U.S. government reopens after 43-day shutdown, causing disruption and unpaid federal workers.
– Political divisions persist, with unresolved issues and nearly equal blame for the shutdown on both parties.
The U.S. government is set to reopen following the longest shutdown in history, lasting 43 days.

This shutdown disrupted air travel and food assistance, leaving over 1 million federal workers unpaid.Political divisions remain despite the funding package allowing the government to resume operations. Republican President Donald Trump’s administration continues to challenge Congress on financial matters, and unresolved health subsidies remain a key issue.

Discontent within the Democratic Party is evident, as moderates and liberals disagree on how to handle Trump’s presidency.

Federal employees affected by the shutdown will receive back pay, with payments expected to be completed by Wednesday. While Trump’s administration previously threatened to withhold pay, there are no current indications of this. The deal reached ensures that federal jobs safeguarded during the shutdown are maintained.

Air Travel Normalises

Air traffic is returning to normal after significant disruption during the shutdown.

The Department of Homeland Security announced bonuses for security screeners who worked extra shifts. State funding for food aid programs will be restored shortly, assisting millions of Americans dependent on these resources.

Polling reveals nearly equal blame for the shutdown is placed on both political parties. Upcoming funding decisions pose the threat of repeating the shutdown cycle as concerns about national debt persist.
