Extreme weather
A major winter storm is bringing blizzards across the Plains and the Upper Midwest, making for dangerous travel conditions during this busy holiday week. Parts of Nebraska, South Dakota, Kansas, Colorado and Wyoming are under blizzard warnings. The National Weather Service said the heavy snow and strong winds could topple trees and power lines and bring whiteout conditions that make travel "difficult to near impossible." The storm is expected to weaken by tonight, but the weather service said parts of the northern Plains and the upper Midwest can expect a wintry mix to persist into Wednesday.
Serbia
Thousands of demonstrators gathered in the Serbian capital of Belgrade on Sunday to demand that the results of the country's general elections last week be annulled. Protestors attempted to storm the City Assembly in Belgrade but were fended off by police using riot gear and tear gas. At least 35 people were arrested, according to media reports. The mass protests come after President Aleksandar Vucic's ruling Serbian Progressive Party won 47% of the votes in a snap election last week, cementing his decade-long grip on power. An international watchdog called the elections "unjust," accusing Vucic and his party of stifling media freedom, voter intimidation and bribery.
