Sabotage suspected as power cut hits Cannes Film FestivalWatch: Suspected sabotage causes Cannes power cut 'meltdown'A power cut in southern France caused by suspected sabotage has disrupted screenings on the final day of the Cannes Film Festival. About 160,000 homes in the city of Cannes and surrounding areas lost power early on Saturday, before supply was restored in the afternoon. Officials said an electricity substation had been set on fire and a pylon at another location damaged. Organisers of the international film festival say the closing ceremony will go ahead as planned as they have an alternative power supply.
