LONDON (AP) — Online services for a number of U.K. banks in and around London were disrupted by a Google Cloud outage Tuesday.
The cloud outages began just after 2 a.m., or 6:08 a.m. GMT.
The center of the outage is London, but the impact can extend outside of the U.K. if apps in other countries rely on London-based infrastructure.
“Our engineering team continues to investigate the issue,” Google Cloud said early Tuesday.
U.K. banks that reported disruptions include Lloyds, Halifax, HSBC and Revolut.
“We are currently experiencing a service disruption affecting multiple services,” Revolut said in an email. “We can confirm that all our customers’ money and data are safe. We’ve been working to fix the issue since it was identified this morning and apologise to anyone affected and for any inconvenience caused.”
There appear to be outages elsewhere in Europe, but it is unclear if they are connected.
“We apologize to all who are affected by the disruption,” Google Cloud said, and promised an update around 8 a.m. eastern time.

Democracy is on the ropes everywhere in the world as politics have become extreme, divisive, virulent — just plain toxic.
It would seem like a reasonable, visceral decision not to participate, to not be contaminated or compromised by association. However, like education, where more education is the cure to a lack, a deficit in democratic politics calls for more, not less, political engagement.
In his 1919 poem The Second Coming, W. B. Yeats wrote, “Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;” as a description of social and political catastrophe and the failure of usual safeguards in the aftermath of the First World War. He ends the first stanza with: “The best lack all conviction, while the worst / Are full of passionate intensity.”
I believe it’s an apt description of what’s going on today — not new but frightening, nonetheless.

Waters remain murky in unchartered Hellebuyck trade request territory
Ken Wiebe 4 minute read Yesterday at 6:18 PM CDT
ST. LOUIS — The thing about being in unchartered waters is that the answer to the next question isn’t always readily apparent either above or below the surface.
Winnipeg Jets head coach Scott Arniel has been doing his best to ensure the upcoming two-game road trip against Central Division opponents doesn’t include a three-ring circus. But with news coming over the weekend that the suspension for goalie Connor Hellebuyck is set to expire on Friday, the club has to prepare for the next step in that process.
The problem, as Arniel conceded during his session on Monday afternoon before the team departed for Missouri, is that some of the hypotheticals need to be eliminated from the equation before the proper response can be determined.
“When it comes to Helly’s scenario, honestly I don’t really have a lot of information,” said Arniel. “I know everybody knows (about) Friday. That’s all we know.”

Empty desks: Advocates talk chronic school absenteeism

Concerned school and government leaders are downplaying the state of student absenteeism, as community organizers are strategizing to create urgency around who’s regularly missing class — and why — in Winnipeg.
The inaugural Youth at Risk in Winnipeg Symposium, held over the weekend at the Canadian Mennonite University, drew roughly 100 people to discuss barriers to attendance and brainstorm ways to remove them.
Nearly 20 years after he began calling attention to the issue, first as a volunteer with the Point Douglas Residents Committee, Sel Burrows gave an impassioned speech about the lack of political will to take meaningful action to help students from “dysfunctional homes.”
“I’ve dealt with nine cabinet ministers, Conservative and NDP, and five deputy ministers, and the issue has not gotten any better,” Burrows told teachers, reseachers and community support workers gathered Saturday on CMU’s Shaftesbury campus.

ARIES (March 21-April 19)
This can be a lovely, friendly and romantic day if you can avoid intense discussions about shared property, inheritances and anything jointly held. Focus on what works. Avoid people who are intent on getting their way – not yours.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
DEAR MISS LONELYHEARTS: I just ran into the short-haired girl I was crazy in love with back in high school. She wore all black clothes, kind of looked like a guy, but used dark lipstick and dyed her hair different weird colours. She always looked like a scary, powerful woman and she loved to tease me, because I was shy back then.
She was standing there in the sun, and I liked her new look — blue-black hair, dressed in a black suit, hot-looking and powerful as ever! But after we started talking, she suggested we go catch up over a drink and lunch.
After eating and drinking a lot on my tab, she was a bit tipsy and confessed she already has a boyfriend she quite likes, because he doesn’t bow down to her.
To get even, I told her I had a girlfriend, “but that could change.” Then I paid the tab. She finally liked something about me!
