Images of demolition crews working on the collapsed Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore harbor, Maryland, which was destroyed in seconds last Tuesday when a cargo ship lost power and hit a bridge support column, killing six people. Authorities hope that removing the bridge -- by cutting it into smaller sections and lifting them out -- will help rescuers recover all the victims' bodies and eventually reopen the crucial shipping lane.

Authorities on the French Indian Ocean island of Mayotte on Monday begin demolishing homes in a large slum in an operation against sub-standard housing and illegal migration. France has deployed hundreds of police officers and gendarmes in Mayotte -- the country's poorest department -- since April to prepare a major security measure called Operation Wuambushu ("Take Back" in the local language). Diggers started destroying the sheet-metal shacks in the Talus 2 slum in the Majicavo area at around 7:30 am (0430 GMT) on Monday. IMAGES
A shanty town in the north of Mayotte is demolished to make way for a high school, amid an operation to clear slums on the Indian Ocean island territory and expel illegal migrants, which has sparked clashes between local youth and security forces. The operation, called Operation Wuambushu ("Take Back" in the local language), aims to improve living conditions for Mayotte locals in France's poorest department, one of several French overseas territories that span the Caribbean to the Pacific.
