A shooting at a school in the Canadian province of British Columbia has left eight dead, including a woman whom police believe to be the shooter. Authorities say two more people were found dead at a nearby home. British Columbia Premier David Eby told reporters that police officers reached the school within two minutes.
I'd like to take this opportunity to ask British Columbians, to ask all Canadians, to wrap the people of Tumbler Ridge, wrap these families with love. Not just tonight, but tomorrow and into the future. This is something that will reverberate for years to come.
David Eby was speaking as police say they are not yet releasing the identity of the suspected attacker. In a statement on social media, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said he was devastated by the mass shooting, which is Canada's deadliest since 2020. Carney's office said he is suspending a planned trip to Germany for the upcoming Munich security conference.
The European Council president has told Bloomberg that the EU must review its powerful competition rules to boost the bloc's economy. Antonio Costa was speaking ahead of a gathering of EU leaders this week, which will focus on improving competitiveness as the region faces challenges from the US and China.

In a paper circulated ahead of tomorrow's leaders' meeting, they called, among other measures, for the EU to loosen merger rules, allowing European companies to scale up and rival America's tech giants.

Months have passed since both sides agreed to dial down trade tensions, compromising on a 15% tariff on EU goods entering the United States. The deal has faced a rocky path to approval in the European Parliament. A vote is expected on the 24th of February.
Russia's oil revenues are collapsing as the country offers steep discounts to keep its trade going. A Bloomberg analysis of crude shipments shows that exports are holding steady at 3.3 million barrels per day, the same level since the start of the war in Ukraine. But the country's revenue is now at its lowest point in five years. Weaker global prices, a shortage of buyers and a stronger currency are all pushing Russia's oil revenues lower as the US continues to try to bring Russian and Ukrainian envoys together for peace talks.
