Yellow Vest protests turned violent on the streets of Paris, forcing firefighters to douse burning cars and trash bins while cops loosed tear gas and water cannons.  The demonstrators are outraged that the government could raise more than a billion Euros to help restore the burned Notre Dame de Paris Cathedral while their demands to fight wealth inequality remain overlooked and working people struggle to pay the bills.  French President Emmanuel macron's speech on how he planned to deal with the Yellow Vests' concern was supposed to take place last week on the very night that Notre Dame caught fire; it has been delayed until later this week.

Police in Northern Ireland have arrested two men in the shooting death of reporter Lyra McKee, who was covering a clash between cops and Irish nationalists in Derry.  The 18- and 19-year-old were booked under the UK's controversial Terrorism Act and took them to the Musgrave Serious Crime Suite, a police station in Belfast.  It's believed the 29-year old Ms. McKee hit by a stray bullet in the Creggan neighborhood, reportedly a stronghold for dissident republican groups such as the New Irish Republican Army and Saoradh which want to unite all 32 counties of Ireland without British occupation.  Those groups are disavowed by Sinn Fein, which brought about an end to The Troubles with the 1998 Good Friday Accords.

The US FBI arrested a self-styled "militia" commander after his far-right group posted video showing them detaining undocumented immigrants at the southern border.  69-year old Larry Mitchell Hopkins is charged with unlawful possession of firearms and ammunition.  "Today's arrest by the FBI indicates clearly that the rule of law should be in the hands of trained law enforcement officials, not armed vigilantes," said New Mexico attorney general Hector Balderas.  The video went viral, provoking the American Civil Liberties Union to demand action against "an armed fascist militia organization" made up of "vigilantes" who took it upon themselves to "kidnap and detain people seeking asylum".
