Turkey has blocked access to Wikipedia over that vaguest of reasons, "national security". 

Hey, that's not Wikipedia

Officials in Ankara claim that articles and comments on the popular online encyclopedia showed Turkey "in coordination and aligned" with terrorist groups:  "It has become part of an information source which is running a smear campaign against Turkey in the international arena," said a statement from the Turkish Ministry of Transport, Maritime Affairs and Communications.  The government is demanding that Wikipedia remove content that is apparently offending the notoriously thin-skinned autocrat Recep Tayyip Erdogan (who once had his balls kicked in by a horse); Wikipedia refuses.

Hungary's right-wing leader appears to be bowing to European Union pressure and dropping efforts to shut down a prestigious university founded and financed by Left-of-center zillionaire George Soros, who for some reason makes the right go apoplectic.  The EU's center-right bloc threatened to expel Prime Minister Viktor Orban's Fidesz party and take legal action against his government for passing laws that cripple the Central European University's (CEU) abily to operate in Budapest.  Orban has not to confirm it, but the bloc says he will "follow and implement all the demands of the European Commission" regarding the CEU, which is ranked among the top 200 universities in the world in eight disciplines.

The European Union appears to be firming up its front line as the Brexit negotiations approach.  European Council President Donald Tusk is making clear the remaining EU member nations will stand shoulder to shoulder during talks with London, and that the interests of European citizens living and working in the UK must be addressed before anything else happens.  Other leaders are talking even tougher:  "If you are no longer part of a club, it has consequences," said Belgian Prime Minister Charles Michel, "A Brexit for free is not possible."  And earlier, German Chancellor Angela Merkel urged Britain to give up rosy "illusions" of maintaining its current privileges during its future relationship with the EU:  "A third country - which is what the UK will be - cannot and will not have the same rights as an EU member state," Ms. Merkel said.

Tens of thousands of Americans took part in the People's Climate Change marches in cities across the US, marking Donald Trump's 100th day of infesting the oval office by protesting his lousy policies towards global warming. 

Climate Change March In DC

"Trump is undoing everything Obama did.  He doesn't realize climate change impacts everyone.  It impacts him," said activist Michelle Holmes to CNN in Washington.  "Change is inevitable, and only we can solve it - the impact is just changing the way we live."  The temperature in the US capital city was more than 32 C Degrees - way over the 21 C Degree average for the last day of April, early spring in the US.

Hip Hop star Ja Rule says people will get refunds for their tickets to the ill-fated "Fyre Festival" in the Bahamas.  He was one of the organizers of what was billed as a "cultural moment created from a blend of music, art and food" in the Bahamas, bringing together millennial opinion and fashion leaders with tickets costing up to US$12,000.  When the rich kids got to the Bahamas, they found developing world conditions:  Cheap tents instead of luxury accommodations, hastily improvised cheese sandwiches instead of gourmet food, no sanitary facilities, barely any liquor - oh, and most of the acts had cancelled because they didn't get their money.  Ja Rule didn't even bother to go to the Bahamas and says it wasn't his fault.
