Broadcast overview
An AI-generated overview based on this broadcast's transcript.
In Moscow, three people were killed and at least 20 wounded in a suspected bomb explosion at a restaurant during a private function; a woman carrying an improvised explosive device was stopped by a security guard before the blast, killing her, the guard, and a guest. In southern Peru, 13 people died when a tourist plane crashed while flying over the Nazca Lines archaeological site, with the cause under investigation. Ukraine's President Zelensky renewed his appeal for Western air defences after a Russian ballistic missile attack on Kiev killed at least nine and injured dozens, with only one of 27 missiles intercepted; Ukraine also struck three oil refineries and sank a container ship in the Black Sea. In Twin Falls, Idaho, police reported a gun attack near a fast food restaurant; the suspected shooter is deceased and the threat is over, with an unspecified number of injuries.
The European Union called for an emergency meeting after about 60,000 migrants entered Spain's North African territory of Ceuta from Morocco; the majority have voluntarily returned, but at least 67 died, and Spain's prime minister criticized what he called selfishness from some EU members, while Italy suspended Schengen arrangements with Spain. Pressure mounted on FIFA president Gianni Infantino after he scrapped a plan to sell World Cup stakes to private investors, with UEFA saying it had lost confidence in his leadership and accusing him of a shabby backroom deal. Israel remained noncommittal on a disarmament deal announced by President Trump's Board of Peace, under which Hamas would disarm in exchange for an Israeli military withdrawal from Gaza; the US State Department warned Americans in the Middle East to be ready to leave amid tensions with Iran, amid reports of a potential joint US-Israeli bombing campaign on Iranian energy infrastructure. In Colombia, 14 people were injured in a truck bombing near a police command post in Cucuta, six days before the new president's inauguration; the president-elect condemned the attack and pledged a military solution.
