Dutch police apprehended a man believed to have killed three people on a tram in the city of Utrecht, sparking terrorism alerts.  One witness told local journalists that "a man started shooting wildly" on the tram at the city's 24 October Square.  Police identified the suspect as 37-year old Gokmen Tanis; BBC Turkish reported the man was accused of having links to the so-called Islamic State and allegedly was a fighting in the Russian Republic of Chechnya which had an Islamist separatist movement.  Prime Minister Mark Rutte described the attack as "deeply disturbing".

New Zealand's cabinet seems primed to go along with Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern's plans to tighten up gun ownership laws in the wake of the Christchurch Mosque Massacre.

France has sacked the Paris police chief and is threatening to ban demonstrations on the Champs d'Elysees after last weekend's raucous rioting.  After high-end shops and restaurants were sacked and burned by vandals in the 18th week of Yellow Vest protests, Prime Minister Edouard Philippe announced that 66-year old Michel Delpuech is out, and would be replaced by Didier Lallement, the top police official in the southwest Nouvelle-Aquitaine region.  President Emmanuel Macron vowed to get "tough":  "Now that's the end. I demand that such scenes must not be repeated, especially on that avenue," Macron said.

But the French president might want to start with his own cops.  French police were caught on video helping themselves to Paris Saint-Germain football shirts, with an officer in riot gear stuffing them into a bag while being guarded by other riot cops with their badge numbers covered.  At one point, they try to rough up the journalist recording the sorry scene.  Officials say they are "investigating" the video.

Cyclone Idai is turning out to be the most destructive storm to hit southeastern Africa in more than a decade.  Mozambique President Filipe Nyusi said that while the official death toll stood at 84, "It appears that we can register more than 1,000 deaths."  He viewed the damage from a helicopter and said that the "rivers overflowed, making whole villages disappear and isolating communities, and bodies are floating," adding, "It is a real disaster of great proportions."  The storm churned through Mozambique and Zimbabwe over the weekend, causing all sorts of flooding and infrastructure damage. 

Widespread flooding is impacting six Midwestern states in the US.  A storm called a "bomb cyclone" made rivers swell up and accelerated the snow melt, and more rain was expected over the region.  These are mostly wide, flat landscapes where the water pretty has no where to go but "up" before it eventually drains downriver, in this case down the Missouri and Mississippi Rivers.  At least two people are dead and two are missing.

UK House of Commons Speaker John Bercow says he will not allow a third vote on PM Theresa May's Brexit plan - which has already been rejected twice by MPs - if it were "substantially the same" as the motion MPs rejected twice before.  It's a terrible blow to May and her government.  The conservative MPs who want a hard Brexit without a deal welcomed Bercow's move, but other ministers have warned of a looming "constitutional crisis".  The UK is due to leave the European Union in eleven days.
