I'm from New York originally, so just not having anything plowed blows my mind. When it snows, you're stuck. Our reporter in Washington DC is Helena Humphrey. This is an absolutely massive storm. It is stretching right across the United States some 2,000 miles. Really remarkable to see that storm system from the likes of New Mexico stretching to New York, heading up to Maine, where I am in Washington DC right now, blanketed.

Kiitos, että katsoitte.

And when you think of somewhere like Louisiana, you don't think of particularly cold weather. And is that part of the problem, that people maybe aren't as prepared in places like Louisiana as they are where you are? That's such a good point. I mean, it's really so remarkable to see southern states like Louisiana

Mississippi, Texas, for example, all knocked off the power grid. More than one million properties, so homes and businesses are without electricity. People waking up in the dark. In some places in North Carolina, people are without heating.

Ja he ovat vain olleet sanoneet, että heidän pitäisi sitoutua paljon päivittäin, koska se on vaikeaa jopa mennä ulos, jotta pyöräilijät pyöräilijät pyöräilijät pyöräilijät pyöräilijät

Tomorrow, but nevertheless I think everyone is feeling it right across the country.

And how much are the authorities able to help if it's such a huge storm and there's so much snow? I mean, I imagine they've got their work cut out. They've certainly got their work cut out. I was up early this morning around 4 a.m. watching the snow plows try to plow through the streets, but no sooner had they passed. And essentially what you saw were the streets blanketed white once again. President Trump has declared a state of emergency for at least 23 states. And what that does is...

It unlocks federal funding in this kind of effort, but in many cases it's a case of people having to take the advice from authorities, hunkering down, sheltering in place if they can. Of course there's always that concern with regards to people who perhaps don't have a home, unhoused populations, certainly an issue here in Washington DC, and they've been opening warming shelters for people who have nowhere to go.

The French sailor Thomas Covell and his seven-man crew have set a new round-the-world sailing record. They completed the 50,000 kilometre non-stop voyage in 40 days, 10 hours and 45 minutes, wiping more than 12 hours off the previous record to claim the Jules Verne trophy. Helen Fretter, who's the editor of Yachting World magazine, says it's a gruelling challenge to undertake.

Jules Verne-trofi on ympäri maailmaa yhdessä. Aloitetaan Suomesta, menet Etelä-Atlantikkaan ympäri maailmaa ja tulet takaisin. Olin kutsunut Jules Verneen, koska tehdä sen yli 80 päivää oli kuitenkin ongelmallista. Nyt he yrittävät tehdä sen yli 40 päivää. Ja teknologia, joka on olemassa vuonna 2017, on tullut yli ja yli. Veneet ovat ongelmallisia koneita.

but the margin that they have broken the record by is still really small, because it's just such an incredible challenge. You're at the lap of the wind gods, effectively, as to what conditions you get, and there's also the real technical challenge of managing these really complex boats through really extreme sea states, all the fatigue and damage that can occur over a month and a bit of pushing it to its absolute limits.

Tämä on todella huomattavaa.

You're trimming, you're adjusting the foils, the sails, constantly trying to squeeze like every fraction of performance out of this boat. And they're hurtling around at 30-35 upwards knots, which is right on the limit. And then the noise on these boats is phenomenal. The foils in the water create this really high-pitched howl, and the movement of the boat is phenomenal.

Kind of like your worst nightmare fairground ride. It's lurching and pitching and slamming around. So it's a really hard physical environment to be in as well. It's cold, it's noisy, it's really hard to rest. So the physical challenge is relentless. That was Helen Fretter.

Still to come in this podcast. I've been bringing my boy here since he was a baby, so I hope it becomes a good memory for him. I'm glad we could come today to remember them. Saying goodbye to Japan's giant pandas, but will China send them any more?

Internal Interpol files shared with the BBC show Russia is consistently breaking the global agency's rules when Moscow is requesting arrests abroad, devastating the lives of those left in limbo. If journalism is the first draft of history, what happens if that draft is flawed?

In 1999, four Russian apartment buildings were bombed. Hundreds killed. But even now, we still don't know for sure who did it. It's a mystery that sparked chilling theories. I'm Helena Merriman, and in a new BBC series, I'm talking to the reporters who first covered this story. What did they miss the first time? The History Bureau. Putin and the apartment bombs. Listen on BBC.com or wherever you get your podcasts.

...kysyvät, että heidän tapauksensa on ylipäätänsä. Interpolin järjestelmä on myös osoittanut, että lisäkysymyksiä, joita organisaatio oli russiaan, jälkeen Ukrainain, on lukenut. Natasha Peach sanoo. Minä olisin aina esittänyt mieleni. Minä olisin ylipäätänsä sanonut, että Putin on raskas. Mutta sitten aloin tunnella, että nämä kivet ovat kiveteltäneet.

Eugene Lorenchuk oli tehtävä teatteri Moskovassa, kunnes vuonna 2014 hän sanoi, että hän ei ole enää tunnustunut turvallisuudesta. Hän on tullut kotiin Ukrainaan, jolloin hän soittaa operoita ja soittaa täällä, Ivan Franko-teatterissa Kyivissä. Mutta kun hän meni työskentelemään, hän oli vahvistettu italian alueiden avulla. Passport-kontrollissa he pysähtivät minua. Vain kaksi kertaa tuli, että olin vahvistunut ja Moskova.
