Together, they reflect on the parallels between past and present tragedies, examine gaps in fire safety systems and accountability, and explore how complacency, policy decisions, and community action can mean the difference between life and loss.

Nicolas Maduro has arrived at the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, where he is expected to be arraigned on Monday. President Trump says the U.S. is now in charge in Venezuela and plans to have American oil companies revive the country's energy sector. Trump also predicted Cuba is close to collapse without Venezuelan oil, and hinted traffickers in Colombia and Mexico could face U.S. military action. Secretary of State Marco Rubio also said the Maduro's capture was a law-enforcement operation without need of congressional approval.For many Americans, it won't feel like the middle of winter. Forecasters say a big warm up is heading eastwards, bringing temperatures well above normal for this time of year.

Meanwhile, California is dealing with flooding and mudslides.Authorities say they've finished identifying all 40 victims of the deadly New Year's Eve fire at a Swiss bar.

Chinese President Xi Jinping has sent condolences to Swiss President Guy Parmelin over a deadly New Year fire in Crans-Montana that killed 40 people and injured 119.
Nearly three feet of snow has blanketed parts of the Northeast as severe weather impacts people across the country, bringing frigid temperatures and snow to the East Coast and heavy rain and mudslide concerns to Southern California. President Trump warned Friday in a social media post that if Iran "violently kills peaceful protesters, which is their custom, the United States of America will come to their rescue." Investigators said Friday that the deadly fire that tore through a popular bar in the Swiss ski resort of Crans-Montana early on New Year's Day was caused by sparklers on Champagne bottles, which ignited the bar's ceiling.

Maraíodh timpeall 40 duine agus gortaíodh breis is céad duine sa tine. Tá fiosrú maidir le cúis na tine fós ar siúl. Deir finnéithe go mb'fhéidir gur coinneal ar bharr buidéil seampéin a thosaigh an tine ach tá oifigí ag diúitiú aon ráiteas a dhéanamh ag an bpointe seo.

Céad bliain ina dhiaidh sin, tá 33 cainéal náisiúnta, 21 cainéal áitiúla ar fáil agus beagnach 3.5 milliún duine ag éisteacht le raidió Éireannach gach lá den tseachtain.

Nach der verheerenden Brandkatastrophe in einer Bar in Crans-Montana spricht der Walliser Sicherheitsdirektor Stéphane Ganzer über die schwierige Lage, die Suche nach der Ursache und die unausweichliche Frage der Schuld. Nach der Brandkatastrophe von Crans Montana haben die Behörden vier, der etwa 40 Todesopfer identifiziert. Das teilt die Kantonspolizei Wallis mit. Die Ermittlungen und Identifikations-verfahren weiterer Opfer würden intensiv fortgeführt. Weiterhin sind auch noch nicht alle der 119 Verletzten zweifelsfrei identifiziert. Rund 50 Verletzte werden bis morgen Sonntag in Spezialkliniken anderer europäischer Länder verlegt - unter anderem nach Deutschland, Italien und Belgien. Der Staatsrat und Sicherheitsdirektor vom Kanton Wallis, Stéphane Ganzer, ist zu Gast bei David Karasek.
Švicarske oblasti so včeraj potrdile ugibanja prič požara v smučarskem letovišču Crans-Montana o najverjetnejšem vzroku nesreče. Ogenj naj bi zanetile iskre tortnih fontan, pritrjenih na steklenice šampanjca, ki so jih preveč približali stropu. Ta se je zaradi akustične izolacije hitro vnel. V nesreči je umrlo 40 ljudi, številni so v kritičnem stanju. Večina je mladih, starih od 16 do 26 let. Na prošnjo Švice po pomoči pri zdravljenju hudo opečenih se je odzvalo več evropskih držav, tudi Slovenija. V oddaji tudi: - Alpske smučarke bodo prvič v novem letu tekmovale v Kranjski Gori. - Jemenski separatisti napovedali referendum o neodvisnosti. - Kadrovsko pomankanje v vzgoji in izobraževanju se utegne letos še poglobiti.

//The Wire//2300Z January 1, 2026////ROUTINE////BLUF: MULTIPLE STATES OF UNREST CONTINUE IN THE MIDDLE EAST. MAJOR FIRE RESULTS IN MASS CASUALTIES AT SWISS NIGHTCLUB. NEW YEAR'S RIOTS STRIKE EUROPE.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE----- -International Events-Switzerland: Last night a significant structure fire was reported at a New Year's celebration event hosted by a nightclub in Crans-Montana. A fire broke out at the Le Constellation nightclub, which consumed most of the facility. Approximately 40x fatalities have been reported due to the fire, along with dozens of others suffering severe burns. Most of these casualties are assessed to have resulted from the challenges in evacuating the structure.Netherlands: Overnight a major fire was reported at the historic Vondelkerk Church in Amsterdam. The fire completely destroyed most of the church, which was serving mostly as office space due to a decline in the parish population over the years.Analyst Comment: The cause of the fire has officially not been released, however local authorities have stated that the fire is under investigation, which is itself and indicator that there is something to investigate.Europe: New Year's festivities resulted in many riots around the continent. Various Moroccan enclaves in Belgium were observed rioting overnight, many of which involved parading around Brussels with weapons in the open, and generally trying to destroy things with fireworks. Actual explosives and incendiary devices were also used throughout the night in Belgium, as a few firebombings took place in Antwerp. France reported around 1,173x vehicles set on fire around the nation, and about 500x arrests were made by riot police throughout the night. Arson attacks were also reported throughout the Netherlands, with migrants attacking Dutch police vehicles with Molotovs.Middle East: The situation in Iran is deteriorating as protests continue to grow throughout the nation. Protests began in Tehran a few days ago, and have spread to several other major cities around the country.Analyst Comment: As with any crisis in the region, there is a significant amount of deception and propaganda afoot. However, based on the videos that are making it out of the country, the protests are indeed real. The point of debate is how significant these demonstrations are. The Israeli's have claimed what they always do, that the Ayatollah has fled the country in disgrace, and revolution is underway. The Iranians have likewise done what they always do as well, and not even acknowledged what's happening at all. The truth is probably somewhere between these two extremes, and only time will tell how significant these protests become over the next few weeks.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: Right now it looks like the nightclub fire/explosion in Switzerland was probably not a terrorist attack, as the start of the fire was highly documented. A considerable amount of fireworks were noted at this location, many of which were being set off in a risky manner, such as the fireworks which were ignited indoors and held very close to extremely flammable soundproofing tiles. Shortly after the investigation into the fire was launched, Swiss authorities stated that they think it was an accident.Witnesses that took videos of the aftermath might also shed some light on why there was an exceptionally high casualty count for such a small venue. Videos of the fire (which are too graphic for mixed company) confirm that many people were trapped inside the building, and unable to escape. Only one staircase served as an egress method for the basement, where the fire first began. Additionally, once the fire broke out, many people did not evacuate, either out of ignorance or inebriation. As such, many people only thought about evacuating after the fire was already consuming the entire structure, and it was impossible to u
Swiss officials say they believe the fire that killed 40 people in a bar in Crans-Montana during New Year's celebrations was "caused by sparklers attached to champagne bottles."
The U.S. Justice Department said on Friday it thwarted an alleged plan by a North Carolina man to carry out an ISIS-inspired attack using knives and hammers on New Year's Eve. Christan Sturdivant, 18, of Mint Hill, North Carolina, was charged with providing material support to a foreign terrorist organization, according to a Justice Department statement.Dozens of young partygoers injured in a New Year's Eve bar fire in Switzerland were transferred to specialist burn units across Europe as they fought for their lives on Friday after being hit by the devastating blaze, which has killed at least 40. Initial findings showed the fire that spread among the mostly young crowd of revellers in Le Constellation bar in the Swiss ski resort of Crans-Montana was likely caused by sparkler candles being carried too close to the ceiling, the local prosecutor said.
Switzerland mourns 40 lives lost in a deadly New Year's Eve fire in Crans-Montana, with over 100 injured. Deadly protests spread across Iran as demonstrators call for regime change. New SNAP rules restrict sugary drinks and junk food, sparking debate over health versus personal choice. New Ontario regulations on archeological protections seen as speeding up development but putting history at risk. Increased avalanche danger has officials warning skiers to stay out of back country areas of the Rockies. Wage gap hits a record in Canada, with top CEOs earning 248 times more than the average worker.
