Australia: Ex-Tropical Cyclone Koji Leaves Widespread Destruction in Queensland

The slow-moving system swept across the Central Highlands and Coalfield regions on Monday, January 12. Wind gusts reached 113 km/h on Hamilton Island. Early estimates suggest that more than 48,000 livestock have perished in the floods, which continue to inundate vast areas of Queensland—stretching from the coast at Mackay, 1,000 kilometres west to Cloncurry, and north to Townsville and Cairns. Central Queensland is the latest region to feel the impact of Ex-Tropical Cyclone Koji, with Clermont recently enduring its heaviest rainfall in 110 years.

Leon Marchand in San Antonio to Meet Wembanyama for The NBA Game - USA

Handout Photo dated on January 7, 2026 shows Leon Marchand during NBA Game - San Antonio Spurs v Los Angeles Lakers. On Nike's initiative, Léon Marchand traveled to San Antonio to meet Wembanyama for the NBA game between the Spurs and the Lakers. Based in Austin, where he is continuing his preparation for the European Swimming Championships scheduled for next August in Paris, Léon Marchand traveled to San Antonio on Wednesday evening to attend the game between the Spurs and the Lakers. Before the game, the French swimmer was welcomed by Victor Wembanyama for an informal chat behind the scenes at the Frost Bank Center.

Canada: Near-Zero Visibility as Blizzard Hits Southern Manitoba

A fast-moving winter storm brought blizzard conditions to southern Manitoba, with winds up to 90 km/h and heavy blowing snow forcing highway and school closures, stranding drivers, and disrupting flights and essential services on Thursday, December 18. RCMP strongly discouraged travel as near-zero visibility led to multiple crashes and vehicles stuck on rural roads, while snowfall totals ranged from 8 cm in Winnipeg to nearly 19 cm in some areas. Conditions were further complicated by power outages and widespread delays as the storm swept across the Prairies.
