Homophobic chanting by sections of Paris Saint-Germain fans targeting Marseille players has again marred the biggest game in French soccer, prompting calls for sanctions. “Very shocked by the unbearable homophobic chants heard at the Parc des Princes,” Klein said on X, the social network formerly known as Twitter. He added that he will ask PSG and the French league authorities to bring in sanctions, and will look at the possibility of starting judicial action. Homophobic chants, often heard at French league matches, have been tolerated for a long time by many club officials, and soccer authorities have struggled to find appropriate ways of tackling the issue. Following a match at the Parc des Princes four years ago between PSG and Marseille during which some home fans used homophobic insults, the French league launched an action plan allowing spectators to report sexist, homophobic or racist incidents they witness.

Rioters have torched cars and public transport but also targeted town halls, police stations and schools - buildings that represent the French state. Some said Nahel, who was shot dead on Tuesday, could have been any of them, or their sons, brothers or friends. Yann Bastiere, a representative of the Unite SGP police union, said the officer who shot Nahel was innocent until proven guilty. Belaidi said teachers were not replaced and hospitals lacked resources, which has led to a feeling of abandonment by the state.

PARIS, April 10 (Reuters) - French rescue workers have found two bodies in the rubble of buildings in the southern city of Marseille which collapsed following an explosion, the city's mayor said on Monday. Authorities have previously said that nine people were believed missing after Sunday's explosion, which destroyed two residential buildings and caused a third to partially collapse. "This morning we are in great sorrow and pain," Marseile's Mayor Benoit Payan wrote in a tweet, adding that the rescue operations were continuing "relentlessly". The collapse caused a fire which has complicated rescue efforts and which was continuing to burn on Monday morning. Around 200 people have been evacuated from buildings near to the blast, said housing minister Olivier Klein, who was due to visit Marseille on Monday.
