They’re targeted day and night — and these railways workers still turn up to work.

Amazing footage.

Two bystanders, including a television reporter, rescued a driver from a sinking car trapped in floodwaters in Morayfield, Australia, on Thursday.

Australian Broadcasting Corporation reporter Will Murray and another man jumped into the water and swam towards the vehicle to help the trapped driver.

Voici un extrait de la vidéosurveillance qu'un commerçant a partagé avec moi aujourd'hui. Samedi, il a assisté au pillage du magasin dans lequel il travaillait depuis 29 ans, sans rien pouvoir dire, ni faire. "Ils étaient trop nombreux". L'ouvrage d'une vie, détruit en une soirée

The 11pm curfew has just taken effect in Place de la Republique in Paris.

Up to a point.

[Préfecture de Police @prefpolice]

Conformément aux instructions du Premier ministre @SebLecornu et du ministre de l’Intérieur @NunezLaurent, afin de protéger les personnes et les biens des risques de violences et de pillages commis ces derniers jours par des groupes de jeunes délinquants, le @prefetpolice a pris des arrêtés périmétriques d’interdiction de rassemblement et de manifestation, dans certains secteurs de Paris.
Ces arrêtés prennent effet à 20h ce jour jusqu’à 6h demain.

What’s the greater cause? Opposing Macron? Or getting free sneakers?

Awful news about Helen Haines — a principled politician and a thoroughly decent human being.

Wishing the best for her.

Interesting comment on my article today. I don’t agree — I spoke to Parisians who are shocked and angry at the looting and pointless damage.

They do not think it’s just another protest.

Parisians, on their way to work on Monday morning, are stopping to see the scale of destruction.

One calls out a thank you to street cleaners as she cycles past.

Who are the rioters in Paris?

This is what I saw.

Police and protestors are clashing time and again in Paris tonight.

The police fire tear gas to disperse the crowd. Then the crowd regroups.

[David Crowe @CroweDM]

They were not looting “luxury” stores on the Paris street I’m on.

I just walked past a smashed-up florist.

The scale of the violence has shocked the people of France.

From Paris:

Paris cleans up after the shocking violence on Saturday.

You can see the evidence of what some call an insurrection.

Given a cut of Star Wars' backend grosses, Alec Guinness hoped he'd maybe double his initial $150k salary. But from the initial release he made more than $7 million, and ultimately almost $95 million. Here's Guinness with an amusing tale of his remarkable good fortune.

Most leaders won’t speak up about Trump siding with Putin.

Not Zelensky. He is out loud about what the White House did.

His words: “Planned operation.”
