Portuguese authorities strongly advised organisers of the Web Summit to cancel events this Wednesday because of risks of tidal flooding and severe disruption to public transport. Storm Charles is expected to be at its most dangerous on Wednesday afternoon, with winds reaching up to 120 km/h and potentially very dangerous wind gusts as well.
FRANCE 24's Charles Pellegrin reports from Lisbon and also introduces a pre-recorded interview with the CEO of Epoch Biodesign, who has developed a process to recycle up-to-now very difficult to reuse nylon materials found in sportswear, seatbelts and airbags.
