World update: Strikes force Lady Gaga to postpone shows
An update from the CNN newsdesk in London on the stories we're following on Thursday:
France strike - Some 200 demonstrators blocked France's Marseille-Provence airport for more than three hours Thursday as strikes and protests continued across the country. The action comes ahead of a final vote on the country's Pension Reform Bill. Pop star Lady Gaga postponed two Paris shows this weekend because of "the logistical difficulties due to the strikes," her website said.
Sudan report angers China - China has deemed “inappropriate” a U.N. report suggesting that Chinese bullets were used in attacks on peacekeeping troops in Darfur.
Harry hostage drama - The head of the UK Armed Forces has urged Channel 4 not to screen a dramatised documentary based on what would happen if Prince Harry were taken prisoner in Afghanistan. The channel has vowed to air the programme regardless.
Czech neo-Nazis - Four Czech neo-Nazis were sentenced Wednesday to long prison terms and steep fines for an arson attack on the house of a Roma, or Gypsy, family, which nearly killed a 2-year-old girl, the national news agency reported.
Britain pre-nups - The British Supreme Court may have altered the way marriages are dissolved in England forever. A high-stakes divorce settlement between a German heiress and a French investment banker was finally decided Wednesday when the high court ruled that the couple's pre-nuptial agreement should be taken into consideration when deciding on a divorce settlement. Becky Anderson reports.

I have said it before,and will say it again~What is going on in France is,unfortunately likely to be the "coming thing"in the U.S.,unless we all get settled down,and return to our values as a ntion.~and that does NOT MEAN the "values"of goofy*questionable people who seem,at the moment,to be trying to take over our country.I hope the media starts to help moderate some of this.~Dont media people and THIER loved ones have to live in this country too?And do reasonable folks Really want what these "fringe"people have to offer?I doubt it,so lets not be so foolish as to think what ia going on in France cannot go on here! It should only take looking at what is currently going on with our election,for us all to know better!
