He also warned that “those who looted will have to pay back, and those who sought to bring down the Republic will be held accountable.”On Sunday, the violence and protests had largely subsided, apart from sporadic skirmishes and looting involving small numbers of rioters in Paris, as the unrest gave way to political finger pointing. Politicians from the far left to the far right criticized the government for a police response deemed too weak or ill-prepared, with some calling for Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez to resign. Nuñez told journalists Saturday that the police had not been understaffed, but that it was hard to contain rioters “when they’re scattered in small groups.”Saturday’s unrest, which led to nearly 2,400 arrests, caused widespread damage to several symbols of the state. Among them was a 19th-century city hall largely destroyed by fire in Limoges, a town in central France renowned for its porcelain. Nearly 1,000 police officers were injured, France’s Interior Ministry said Sunday, including seven suffering from serious injuries.

“We love the tourists,” said Correen Demers, 50, better known in a gown of multicolored flowers as “Mother Nature of Salem.”“It’s just so much fun. The tips are just a bonus,” she added. Higher tourism numbers mean more people to entertain — but also fresh blood in the busking community. As a record number of new performers arrive in Salem, veteran buskers are banding together to protect the soul of their craft. Local business network Creative Collective is helping get things organized amid the huge crowds with a new pilot program that lets buskers rent a 5-by-5-foot area for a given day. “There [are] certain iconic folks [who] have spaces they love, so they can have them without getting into an argument with anyone,” said John Andrews, president of Creative Collective, a business support group for Essex County. Community feedback sparked the idea for rented busker spots. Andrews said he’d heard the concern that “as it’s become busier… people come from all over the world to be street performers.”A woman posed for a photo with an actor dressed as Michael Myers, the masked killer from the “Halloween” films, as fog swirled around them.

What we know so far about deadly fire at Canadian military base2 hours agoJack BurgessReutersThe busy training base is located behind fences on remote land in AlbertaA huge fire swept through a Canadian military base on Saturday, killing at least four people and leaving 19 people in critical condition. Prime Minister Mark Carney described it as one of the worst peace time tragedies on Canadian soil in the history of the military. Here is what we know about the deadly incident so far. How did the fire start? The fire at Canadian Forces Base Wainwright broke out at around 16:00 local time (22:00 GMT). Major-General Wade Rutland, Commander of 1st Canadian Division, said a grass fire ignited on a training range and "uncommonly strong winds caused it to spread rapidly and shift direction" towards soldiers taking part in exercises. He said the cause of the initial fire remains under investigation. Earlier, local media reported it may have been started when a gas main was struck during a live firing exercise, but the military later said that investigators do not believe any explosions were caused by oil or gas infrastructure. Carney described the fire as "violent" and "fast-moving".

More than 99% of the US population lives under light-polluted skies, according to a 2016 study published in Science Advances. With streetlights, brightly lit parking lots, arenas, and passing headlights brightening the night, it can be easy to forget how dark the sky actually is and how many stars appear when you get away from populated areas. Seeing that many stars for the first time can make you pause and remember where you truly are. You are on a rock spinning through space, surrounded by a universe filled with stars, planets, and galaxies larger than anything you can imagine. A remote mountain excursion can combine a dark sky encounter with a day of hiking and sightseeing. After sunset, bright stars emerge above the slopes and ridgelines. These American mountains lie within officially designated dark sky locations that protect natural darkness and the views of the universe it reveals. In northeastern New Mexico, Capulin Volcano sits among volcanic cones, mesas, and buttes in one of the darker areas of the lower 48 states. These landforms help shield the night sky from distant lights, while the rugged terrain has discouraged development in the area.
