• 25 avril — Photos : Climate Change Protests Around the World (25 photos)

  Since the beginning of the year, large numbers of protests against government inaction on issues of climate change have been taking place in cities worldwide. Most of the movement has taken place in Europe, largely student-led, and inspired by Swedish teen activist Greta Thunberg, who has been speaking out and demanding action from leaders since last year. On March 15, thousands of environmentally-concerned students in 80 countries held a “Fridays For Future” strike, marching through the streets with signs. This past week, parts of London have been brought to a standstill by protesters from “Extinction Rebellion,” who have called on the British government to negotiate with them, and to prioritize environmental protection.

• 22 avril — Photos : Mourning and Anguish After the Devastating Attacks in Sri Lanka (21 photos)

  On Easter Sunday, eight separate bombs tore through luxury hotels and churches in several locations across Sri Lanka, in a coordinated attack carried out by at least six suicide bombers. Authorities say the number of people killed in the attacks is now 290, with more than 500 receiving treatment for injuries. This was the deadliest violence in Sri Lanka since its civil war ended 10 years ago. Today in Colombo, another bomb was found and detonated by the police. Investigations have just begun, and police have arrested two dozen people so far; no organization has claimed responsibility. Today, in the affected towns in Sri Lanka, relatives are gathering at local morgues to identify their loved ones, some by watching a slideshow of photographs of the remains, hoping to catch a glance of a familiar bit of clothing or jewelry amid the horror. The first of hundreds of funerals took place today as well.
