view in browser update subscription preferences Sunday 1.20.19 Thanks to everyone who wrote in last week about our 5 Things Sunday edition. We're going to try out some of the changes you suggested, so keep an eye out. And keep your great ideas coming! Now, here's what else you need to know to Start Your Week Smart. By Michelle Krupa and Faith Karimi  Women and their allies march for a third year despite power struggles  Democrats snub President Trump's deal to end government shutdown  Super Bowl + shutdown + world's busiest airport = major concerns  A messy mix of rain and snow ruins long weekend across the US A new Supreme Court may take a chunk out of MLK Jr.'s legacy   MLK Day is a great chance to volunteer  As we honor the slain civil rights leader Monday, consider turning your day off into a "day on" by participating in a local service project. Here are some ways you can make a difference. Brexit bounces back to the House Prime Minister Theresa May returns to Parliament on Monday to lay out her Brexit fallback plan. She's caught in a web of domestic politics and facing the clock to get a deal OK'd by United Kingdom lawmakers and European Union leaders before the March 29 deadline for the UK to leave the EU. World Economic Forum opens in Davos A few thousand of the world's richest and most influential people gather starting Tuesday in a Swiss town for the planet's most high-powered networking event. President Donald Trump canceled his Davos trip over the partial government shutdown.   American detained in Moscow to get a hearing The Michigan man charged in Russia with espionage is due in court Tuesday for a pretrial hearing. Paul Whelan is appealing his detention without bail. His family says he's innocent and was only vacationing in Russia. The Pope to visit Panama Pope Francis travels Wednesday to the Central American country for World Youth Day. He'll reportedly celebrate two Masses, visit young people in jail and spend time with those who have HIV. The five-day trip happens as the clergy sex abuse scandal continues to stun believers worldwide.   Foreign leaders to meet on Syria The Presidents of Russia and Turkey are due to meet Wednesday in Moscow to talk about US plans to withdraw from Syria, where so many factions are fighting it'll make your head spin. A suspected ISIS attack last week in Syria killed four Americans, but Trump said it won't change his plan for US troops to leave. Paul Manafort case goes back to court Attorneys for Trump's former campaign chairman are due Friday in a Washington courtroom to argue with federal prosecutors over whether Manafort violated his plea deal by lying to the FBI and special counsel Robert Mueller; Manafort says he was truthful. It's the latest wrinkle in the sprawling Russia probe.   Advertisement Super blood wolf moon If you've been looking for a reason to howl, this is it. A total lunar eclipse -- already rare -- will happen at the same time as a supermoon (when the moon is full and closest to Earth). And because of factors you can dive into here, the moon will look red. The best views will be in North and South America, Europe and Africa. The roughly three-hour event starts at 10:35 p.m. ET.   Someone is due an explanation He's a Marine veteran, born and raised in Michigan.
