This is AP News Minute.

In Massachusetts, residents cleaning up from a massive nor'easter that swept through the region. Storm surge washed away yards after huge waves battered1 the coast. Nearly 200,000 people remained without power Sunday across the state.

In Colorado, 350 acres of land up in smoke in just hours. The wild fire began in a community southeast of Denver at 10 a.m., destroying 3 homes and 4 barns. There were no injuries.

This Thursday is International Women's Day. In London, thousands took to the street Sunday to mark the holiday, calling for gender2 equality, 100 years after Britain's most famous suffragette, Emmeline Parkhurst, gained the right to vote.

And President Donald Trump3 trading jokes with the Washington Press Corps4 at the annual Gridiron dinner Saturday night. The event was closed to cameras. Trump's half-hour long speech included plenty of one liners. On his son-in-law, "we were late tonight because Jared could not get through security." On Attorney General Jeff Sessions: "I offered him a ride over. And he recused himself. What are you going to do?"

Robert Bumstead, the Associated Press, with AP News Minute.
