Publié à 14h43 Mis à jour à 15h29. Vincent Larin La Presse C’est ce qu’a rapporté le ministre des Transports François Bonnardel via son compte Twitter à minuit.

Elle devrait durer environ deux ou trois heures, selon un premier tweet posté par le ministre. Au moment de mettre sous presse, la congestion s’étendait encore sur plusieurs kilomètres en amont de la zone fermée....

China’s largest city will lock its eastern half from Monday to Friday, officials said, followed by a similar lockdown on its west side beginning April 1. The metropolis of 25 million inhabitants has become in recent days the top hotspot in a nationwide epidemic that began to intensify in early March. China’s National Health Commission on Sunday reported more than 4,500 new domestic cases, down more than 1,000 from the previous day, but still much higher than the double-digit daily rates usually seen in the past two years....

In a national address on Sunday, the prime minister, Lee Hsien Loong, said repealing Section 377A of the penal code would bring the law into line with current social attitudes and “provide some relief to gay Singaporeans”.

Moderator Franz Dampf verriet fast alle Geheimnisse seines Erfolgs von Stipsits, der wiederum mit vielen Witzen das Publikum zum Lachen brachte. Da ist zum Beispiel die Geschichte von Pastor David Grandits, der in Hackerberg geboren wurde und seit seiner Kindheit mit Stipsits befreundet war. „Ich habe als Kind drei Gottesdienste an einem Tag gelesen“, erklärte Stipsic, „und wenn es mehr Pastoren gäbe, die wie David aussehen, dann wären garantiert alle Kirchen ausverkauft....

“I really want to make Street Fighter a game that everyone can play, like it used to be,” producer and series veteran Shuhei Matsumoto tells the Guardian. Offering a radical overhaul to its controls, Street Fighter 6 is a more accessible twist on the fireball-throwing fighting spectacle. A beginner-friendly control option ditches the classic six-button setup of high and low punches and kicks in favor of a simpler three-button structure, allowing first-time users to pull off a Shoryuken without spending months developing muscle memory....

This is a class war – and people with 21st century versions of monocles and top hats are winning. People who have college loans to repay are, on average, quite well off. This is not surprising: Only one in three Americans of working age are college graduates, and college graduates earn more money than those with only high school diplomas. The same goes for people who go to college but do not get a degree....

Borrowers’ balances have been virtually frozen for more than two years, with no repayment required for most federal student loans since March 2020. During this time, interest rates have stopped rising and debt defaults have risen to stand by. Both President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump have taken steps to extend the pause. Biden had previously moved the resumption date to three different cases. When the Biden government extended the moratorium from September 2021 until the end of January 2022, it warned that it would be the final extension....

To do so they will have to vanquish a foe that bested them in their previous matchup, the Canadiens. It was just over a month ago that the Habs convincingly ran over the Leafs by a score of 5-2. That victory over Toronto came right in the middle of a five-game win streak by Montreal, their longest streak of the season. A lot of their recent success can be attributed to the work of their new coach, Martin St....

The 25-year-old tormented City’s backline and set up two of his side’s goals as the north-east giants continued their unbeaten start to the season. And a big-money move to Old Trafford could now be on the cards. The Red Devils have already landed Casemiro, Lisandro Martinez, Tyrell Malacia and Christian Eriksen this summer after a dismal campaign last time out. And they are also chasing Ajax striker Anthony and PSV striker Cody Gakpo....
