Millions told to stay home in US and more than a million are left without power, while Australia faces record heatwave

Cold weather across a vast swathe of the eastern US has been the likely cause of at least 49 deaths in the past week.

At one point, about 213 million people were under some sort of winter weather warnings, affecting areas from New Mexico to New England – a spread of about 2,000 miles (3,200km). Millions were told to stay at home, and at one point there were more than a million people without power. As of Wednesday night, there were still 312,000 outages, mostly across Tennessee, Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas.

Ukrainian president doubles down on target for accession despite pushback from some European leaders

And in another update issued just now, Zelenskyy has just confirmed that there were no Russian strikes on energy infrastructure overnight, but he said that Moscow appeared to be shifting its attention to striking logistics infrastructure.

He particularly highlighted a ballistic missile strike in the Kharkiv region, which hit a US company production site.

“If we don’t help Ukraine and Ukraine falls, there is a risk that Russia will continue. Even if one doesn’t believe it completely, I don’t think it needs to be verified. The price is too high. …

There is a huge risk for Europe, for any country, that Russian aggression will continue. And who else will endure what Ukraine has endured?

“I understand that these security guarantees cost something. And the question is what is the price.”

Donald Trump a dit, le jeudi 29 janvier 2026, avoir demandé « personnellement » à Vladimir Poutine de cesser les frappes sur Kiev et d'autres villes ukrainiennes « pendant une semaine », assurant que le président russe « avait accepté de le faire ». Après un premier round de négociations en fin de semaine dernière, de nouvelles négociations doivent se tenir ce week-end à Abou Dhabi. Sur la table, il y a toujours plusieurs points sensibles, comme la cession par l’Ukraine du Donbass. Mais alors, à l’aube de ces négociations avec « l’ennemi », comment se sentent les premiers concernés par cette guerre, les militaires ukrainiens ? 

Construction works for Milano Cortina have been a lightning rod for suspected infiltration by organised crime, but anti-mafia groups have adopted an approach that will help future hosts

Early on the morning of 8 October, the Provincial Command of the Carabinieri in Belluno put out a press release announcing three arrests, in the culmination of a year-long investigation they called “Operation Reset”. Two of the three were brothers, were both known members of the notorious SS Lazio Ultras, the Irriducibili, it was stated in the release, and had boasted of having personal ties to former boss Fabrizio Piscitelli, who was murdered in 2019. The crimes the brothers had been arrested on suspicion of had not been committed in Rome, but 400 miles north, in the small alpine ski resort of Cortina d’Ampezzo, high in the Dolomites, and home, for the next three weeks, to the Winter Olympics.

The brothers are still awaiting trial, but the local public prosecutor’s office has alleged that they were running an operation in three phases. The first was taking control of the drug distribution network in Cortina, the second was to take control of three local nightclubs, and the third was to extort the local council into awarding the construction contracts for the works being done for the Games. Among the evidence the prosecutor says it possesses is a note on one of the brothers’ phones saying: “We want the cemetery area for the garages, the former pastry shop, the slip road and the new ring road, the construction of the tourist village.”
