Paris, France: The capital was "paralyzed" by the strike

Railway workers, teachers and medical staff have been at the forefront of one of France's biggest strikes in a decade and appear determined to force the Macron government to abandon plans to reshape the country's pension system.

Incidents broke out in Paris during a demonstration by the police to use tear gas, resulting in several damage. The mobilizations "paralyzed" the whole country and the strikers seem determined not to back down.

London, Great Britain: "Lobster" the city for the NATO summit

London has been the focus of the international political scene in recent days, as the NATO summit took place there, with some very crucial issues for humanity falling on the table. As one can easily understand, the security measures for the leaders of the countries and the officers of the alliance were more than draconian.

Washington, DC: Light falls on the White House

The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi, announced the referral of US President Donald Trump, whom she accuses of "abuse of power". During a telephone conversation last summer, the Republican leader asked Volodymyr Zelensky to investigate Joe Biden, a favorite to be anointed a Democrat. The White House is going through this period… dark days.

Florida, USA: The journey into space has begun

California, USA: The battle with the flames seems unequal

Baghdad, Iraq: The fire of the mobilizations is raging

Thousands rallied in Iraq last week, focusing mainly on Baghdad and the south of the country. The death toll from the bloody mobilizations has risen to over 400 and there is no indication that the situation will normalize any time soon.

Bicak, Bosnia / Herzegovina: Bathing in icy environment

A 27-year-old migrant from Pakistan is swimming outside the Bihac refugee center in northern Bosnia / Herzegovina. The first snow has already fallen in the area, with the living conditions in the hot spots being extremely difficult. Many humanitarian organizations have asked for a padlock, as even the basics are not provided.

Paris, France: Messi continues his collection

Lionel Messi added another Golden Ball to his collection to reach six, as he was voted the best footballer in the world for 2019. The Barcelona ace continues to collect awards and distinctions, with his smile showing how happy this distinction made him.
