BREAKING: pic.twitter.com/rAJvgbHnp1 — Visegrád 24 (@visegrad24) March 25, 2023 More than 3000 police officers are set to confront up 1,500 “violent activists” from among a crowd of 10,000 protesters today. Explosive demostrations have already begun at Saint Solines in central France, where climate activists are staging a "high-risk" protest against new agricultural irrigation infrastructure. The protest is distinct from the pension reform outcry that has blighted the country and seen widespread violence. Despite the global focus on the pension reform demonstrations, reports suggest that the police's greatest concern is the Saint Solines protest. Video footage from the scene shows protesters throwing petrol bombs and burning police vehicles. Flying objects pepper the battered line of vehicles as smoke billows into the air.

REUTERS/Alexandre Meneghini HAVANA — Cubans banged pots and shouted protests in neighborhoods of Havana still without electricity on Friday, three days after Hurricane Ian knocked out power to the island of 11 million people. Sweating in the dark on Thursday night and early Friday, some Havana residents resorted to pot-banging, a traditional method of expressing discontent in Latin America but one previously rarely employed in Cuba. Hurricane Ian, now plowing north along the southeast coast of the United States, on Tuesday brought Cuba’s grid to collapse, flattened homes and obliterated agricultural fields.

Rishi Sunak’s tough new stance on anti-social behaviour & hippy crack is welcomed
Crack on, PM YOU could be forgiven for thinking yet another crackdown on anti-social behaviour is something we’ve seen many times. Some of the measures put forward by Rishi Sunak today — tougher fines for littering and fly-tipping — are extensions of what has gone before, often to little effect. But a tough new stance against the menace of street begging and a plan to make yobs wear jumpsuits highlighting their behaviour are to be welcomed. The headline-grabber is the ban on hippy crack . Last year experts on the body which advises on drugs misuse insisted that making nitrous oxide illegal would be a disproportionate response to the relative harm it does users. But that failed to take into account what a blight it has become in society.
