Davos Bolsters Security as Protesters March Toward Venue

Associated Press

   Hundreds of disgruntled protesters against the elite World Economic
   Forum are marching through the Alpine snows toward its annual gathering
   in Davos, as officials on Monday detailed extra security measures like
   vehicle checks and webcam shutdowns with U.S. President Donald Trump
   and other notables set to arrive.

   Zurich regional police said some 130 attendees who are "protected under
   international law"-- including royalty, presidents and prime
   ministers-- were expected to pass through toward the Davos gathering
   from Tuesday to Friday. All told, nearly 3,000 leaders from civil
   society, business, politics and elsewhere from 118 countries are
   expected as the Forum marks its 50th year.
