Striking musicians and singers of the Paris Opera, France, staged an open-air concert on Saturday in front of the city’s historic opera house in protest against a pension reform that seeks to end their special retirement scheme, Reuters reported. The musicians were cheered on by colleagues including ballerinas who last month performed scenes from Swan Lake at the same spot in a similar protest over the proposed pensions overhaul. President Emmanuel Macron’s plan to merge France’s various pension schemes into a single system has triggered more than a month of strikes, particularly in public transport. However, concessions by the government, notably a delay to a move to raise the age at which workers can claim a full pension from 62 to 64, have contributed to a waning in strikes.

The National Weather Service said the storm will hit portions of the Central Plains, Upper Midwest and the Northeast though Sunday. It has already dropped up to two feet of snow in the Northwest while bringing 80mph wind gusts. In the Central and Midwest regions…
More than 1,000 flights have been cancelled and SpaceX rocket launch in Florida postponed as crippling winter storms crash through the Midwest, causing several cities to declare snow emergencies and leaving millions of people affected by the weather. Roadways across the country have become dangerous as snow and ice cause drivers to careen out of control. In a video shared by the Iowa State Police on Twitter, a state trooper was helping a delivery driver whose car was stuck in snowy grass off Interstate 90. Suddenly, a white pickup slides off the highway and barrels towards the truck as the delivery man lunges out of the way. No one was injured. ❄️☃️
Hundreds of far-right activists marched through the streets of a German city to commemorate the 75th anniversary of an RAF bombing raid.The protesters clashed with left wing counter-demonstrators in Magdeburg which was levelled near the end of the Second World War on January 16, 1945, in a raid that killed up to 2,500 people. The far-right 'funeral march' took to the streets last night as around 500 counter-demonstrators from the 'Regina' movement - an alliance against the far right - blasted music and set up blockades. Local media reported that around 800 police officers were drafted in and there were claims on social media that they used pepper spray to keep the rival groups apart.
Police are scouring the internet for clues about plans for mayhem, workers are putting up chain link holding pens around Virginia's picturesque Capitol Square, and one lawmaker even plans to hide in a safe house in advance of what's expected to be an unprecedented show of force by gun-rights activists, FOX11 reported. What is provoking their anger in this once reliably conservative state is the new Democratic majority leadership and its plans to enact a slew of gun restrictions. The Virginia Citizens Defense League's yearly rally at the Capitol typically draws just a few hundred gun enthusiasts. This year, however, thousands of gun activists are expected to turn out. Second Amendment groups have identified the state as a rallying point for the fight against what they see as a national erosion of gun rights.
