Riots in France: How anti-government protests spiraled out of control

PARIS — Smashed windows and ransacked shops. Bloodied teenage protesters. A city hall on fire. Such scenes shocked France as rioting erupted last month during nationwide protests over high living costs and strained public services. Government officials have repeatedly blamed far-left radicals and “opportunistic delinquents,” who they say took advantage of mostly peaceful demonstrations to attack symbols of state authority and capitalism across France. But the authorities’ heavy-handed response – including thousands of arrests, police beatings and curbs on marches – has added to the volatile mix of grievances fueling an anti-government groundswell that shows no sign of abating before next year’s presidential election, Reuters found. Reuters journalists reviewed dozens of videos of the violence, attended the court hearings of 26 people accused of taking part and interviewed over 50 government officials, police officers, attorneys, protesters and witnesses to understand how a movement that began in September with small protests over conditions in state schools spiraled into so

Air travel issues to persist well into Sunday, officials say, with thousands of flights affected

Air travel issues to persist well into Sunday, officials say, with thousands of flights affected

WASHINGTON — The head of the FAA predicted that US air travel would not return to normal schedules until late Sunday as the aviation system gradually recovers from a nationwide flight shutdown that officials blamed on routine maintenance gone awry. As of 4:15 pm ET (2115 GMT), airlines on Saturday had canceled more than 5,300 US flights and delayed almost 6,300, according to FlightAware, an aviation website. That followed about 9,200 flights canceled and 7,500 delayed on Friday after the FAA ordered a nationwide ground stop because of disruptions to air traffic communications. Federal Aviation Administration head Bryan Bedford said on Saturday that he expected airline operations to largely return to normal by late Sunday. He also apologized for the disruption, adding that the system remains stable. The FAA issued a nationwide ground stop on Friday that halted nearly all departing flights for almost five hours. It was the longest nationwide halt to air travel since the attacks of September 11, 2001 and one of the single worst US travel days ever. The issue prompted the White House to co

US aviation shutdown blamed on L3 Harris installed router

US aviation shutdown blamed on L3 Harris installed router

WASHINGTON — A massive, nearly five-hour shutdown of the US aviation system that has disrupted more than 20,000 flights since Friday may have been the fault of a single router installed by government contractor L3Harris, government officials said Saturday. The incident is the latest painful example of the aging US air traffic control telecom system and the struggles to replace systems while keeping the old communications working. The FAA's aging telecom systems in recent years have failed after errant fiber cuts, accidental deletion of files and a strong chemical smell caused by a melted component. The system will fail again until it is properly upgraded, officials said. "This was an FAA system that didn't meet the moment," Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said Saturday. Duffy said on Friday L3Harris was conducting routine maintenance to switch telecommunication lines from old copper wire to fiber at at least one remote location. Officials told Reuters there may have been problems with routers installed in both Arkansas and Texas. "We're working to determine whether we had incompeten

After midterm sweep, Democrats split over Trump, cost-cutting agenda

DENVER — Fresh from a midterm election landslide, Democrats met in Denver this week united in wanting to deliver voters relief from high costs, but split over how to achieve that, what lessons to draw from their victory and how combative they should be toward President Donald Trump. Despite the celebratory mood after the November 3 rout of Republicans, tensions between moderates and a restive progressive wing surfaced at the party's first major gathering since its victory, along with anxiety that the party could squander the opportunity voters had handed it. The gathering offered an early glimpse of the battle to define its future as prospective 2028 presidential candidates and senior leaders debated how to turn electoral success into a governing agenda while navigating long-standing ideological and generational divides. The conference, hosted by Majority Democrats, a group that advocates for younger party leaders and against left-wing activism, offered a forum for the jockeying now underway as Democrats debate what lessons to draw from their midterm win and begin the search for a 202
