Keegan Matheson on Blue Jays, Baseball Memories, and More | SaltWire #writer #torontobluejays #mlbPARIS - New Caledonia's international airport will remain closed until at least next Sunday, its operator said, nearly two weeks after rioting erupted on the French-ruled Pacific island over a contested electoral reform.

Hitting pause was"a gesture of appeasement", Macron said in an interview published by Le Parisien newspaper."But I will never make a decision to postpone or suspend under the pressure of violence," he said. Macron also urged pro-independence protesters, who have said they will remain mobilised, to lift their barricades.

"What do the looting of a supermarket, burning of a school, ransoming people ... have to do with the war for independence? Nothing! This is high banditry," he told Le Parisien.
