Foreign powers agreed to halt support for groups involved in Libya's Civil War and respect an arms embargo, which pits the eastern militia commanded by General Khalifa Haftar against the Government of National Accord (GNA) in Tripoli.  At a peace conference in Berlin, the leader of the free world General Chancellor Angela Merkel stressed that there was no military way to end the conflict, "only a political solution".  World leaders attended the summit, including many who had already picked sides in the conflict - for example, Russia, Egypt, France and some others back Haftar while Turkey and the United Nations supports the GNA civilians government.  Libya has had no stable central authority since dictator Muammar Gaddafi was overthrown by NATO-backed rebels in 2011.

Lebanese medical groups said hundreds of people have been injured in this weekend's clashes between police and anti-austerity protesters.  It's apparent that cops have been aiming rubber bullets at protesters' faces, causing catastrophic injuries and partial blindness in many.  The Lebanese economy is in crisis, and people are demanding the government end corruption that is perceived to be sapping the nation's growth and stability; since October, one in ten companies have shut down and 160,000 people have lost their jobs.

Tens of thousands packed the square in the northern Italian city of Bologna to oppose fascism and the fascist and racist La Liga (The League) party in upcoming regional elections.  Carrying signs reading "Solidarity, Welcome, Respect, Rights, Inclusion, Non-Violence, Anti-Fascism", the movement calls itself "The Sardines", because their numbers are so vast they jam-pack the spaces where they demonstrate.  

Paris' public transportation system could get back to normal this week after the city's main rail union voted to return to work.  The Macron government has dropped one of its worst ideas - raising the retirement age - that sparked six weeks of protests against the pension reform proposals.  The Unsa-RATP union said it is now giving in, but will look for new ways to protest the rest of Macron's proposed cuts - but for now, workers needed to "get their breath back and recharge their batteries" after 45 days of industrial action, during which they have not been paid.

Puerto Rico sacked its emergency chief after people in a southern city discovered a warehouse filled with water, cots, and other emergency supplies that were unused, despite the US island territory suffering through a devastating hurricane in 2017 and earthquake last year.  "There are thousands of people who have made sacrifices to help those in the south, and it is unforgivable that resources were kept in the warehouse," said Governor Wanda Vasquez.  Videos showed angry residents breaking into the warehouse and taking it upon themselves to distribute these critical supplies to suffering neighbors, many of whom lost everything in the disasters.

Dozens of Brazilian gangsters walked out of a prison in eastern Paraguay, and investigators believe they had help from jail officials.  Authorities did find a tunnel and several bags of earth apparently excavated in its construction, but this appeared to be a ruse - at least some of the 75 prisoners, it is believed, might have exited via the front door.  The escapees are members of the First Command of the Capital Gang (PPC), the largest drug gang in Brazil with more than 30,000 members.

Fire raced through three rooms in a hospital for men with mental disabilities in the northwest of the Czech Republic, killing eight people.  Since the village of Vejprty sits on the border, Czech firefighters and medical crews called in mutual aid from its German neighbors.

A cruise company has released video that shows a US grandfather leaning out of a cruise ship window, and then foolishly dangling his toddler granddaughter out of it for more than 30 seconds before he loses his grip.  It under cuts the family's version of events in a case that has divided public opinion in the US and beyond.  The girl, 18-month-old Chloe Wiegand, fell eleven storeys to her death onto a concrete dock.  Her grandfather, 51-year-old Salvatore Anello of Indiana, and the family sued Royal Caribbean cruise lines claiming that she fell on her own because no one could see the window was open while the giant ship was docked in Puerto Rico.  Authorities there charged Anello with negligent homicide:  "His actions, which no reasonable person could have foreseen, were reckless and irresponsible and the sole reason why Chloe is no longer with her parents," the cruise line said.
