    Police in Myanmar escalated their crackdown on anti-coup protesters on Saturday, deploying early and forcefully as demonstrators sought to assemble. In some cities, protesters erected barricades but police used force and made arrests. The country's UN ambassador declared his support for the ousted civilian government and called on other countries to pressure the military to cede power, though Myanmar state media said he has been dismissed from his post. Around 30 vehicles crashed in icy conditions on a bridge in Montana, but no deaths were reported.
