Information boards, ticket machines, traffic lights: a major power outage hits the area around the French Rivera resort of Cannes on the final day of the city's film festival, though organisers said the closing ceremony would not be affected. The cause of the power cut, which began just after 10:00 am (0800 GMT), was a fire in a substation in the nearby village of Tanneron, probably an arson attack, police sources told AFP, asking not to be named.
