Roosevelt.Commercial flights to the French capital were sold out, while thousands of England supporters have booked to travel on the Eurostar rail service from London to Paris.Police were investigating how the man managed to take a weapon into the courtroom in Reggio Emilia, a city about 80 kilometers (50 miles) northwest of Bologna. LONDON, England (CNN) -- Widespread strikes are expected to cripple France's transport network just as rugby fans make their way to Paris for this weekend's World Cup final.Eurostar has advised its customers to avoid all travel on Thursday and it has cancelled some of its trains on Thursday and Friday.Railway workers will join bus, power, gas and some state employees for the action called after President Nicolas Sarkozy refused to back down over planned pension reforms, according to Monique Ricard, spokeswoman for the French railway SNCF.Trains across France and the Metro -- Paris's subway system -- are expected to come to a halt starting Wednesday night, Ricard said.Only one in four trains will be running on Thursday, including suburban services linking Paris to its three international airports, she said.
