What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Live from NPR News, I'm Giles Snyder. Indiana has completed an undefeated season and won its first National College football title a short time ago. The Hoosiers beat Miami in tonight's championship game 27-21. Indiana finishes the season with a 16-0 record, matching the perfect season win total compiled by Yale University.
What recent sports achievement did Indiana accomplish?
in 1894. Some 2,500 federal immigration officers remain in Minneapolis, with more possibly on the way. Protests and raids ongoing, but the city has been relatively quiet for the last few days, in part due to frigid temperatures, as NPR's Kat Lonsdorf reports.
The Department of Homeland Security has not released a breakdown of the number of arrests made by federal immigration officers here in Minneapolis. But in a tweet, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem says there have been 3,000 in the six weeks since the federal surge began. NPR has not been able to independently verify that number. Several American citizens were among those detained in Minneapolis and later released. Meanwhile, many here say they plan to continue pushing back. I really think there is a sense of we'll do this for as long as we need to. 37-year-old resident Talia Pletcher says she and her neighbors are in it for the long haul. Kat Lonsdorf, NPR News, Minneapolis.
House Republicans will move forward this week to hold former President Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in criminal contempt. The Clintons defied a congressional subpoena issued as part of an investigation into the Jeffrey Epstein case, as NPR's Claudia Grisales reports.
The GOP-led House Oversight Committee is expected to meet Wednesday to approve the criminal contempt charges. Those charges will then go before the full House floor for a vote. This comes after months of talks between the Clintons and the panel. The committee set deposition times for the Clintons this month as part of their investigation into the Jeffrey Epstein case. But the Clintons said they would not show, saying they've turned over the quote little information they have. They also noted that the panel has not pursued contempt charges for any other subpoenaed witnesses. The Clintons maintain the subpoena is legally invalid and part of a GOP-led political vendetta against Democrats. Claudia Dizales, NPR News.
The cause of Sunday night's collision of two high-speed trains remains unclear.
What is the current situation regarding federal immigration enforcement in Minneapolis?
At least 40 people were killed in Spain and more than 100 injured. Empires Miguel Macias is in Seville, close to where the accident happened.
There's still a lot that is unknown, most importantly the cause of the accident. But the details are devastating. In addition to those who died, dozens of survivors are still in hospital. Some of them are still fighting for their lives. So sadly, the death toll is not final. The accident happened when a northbound high-speed train operated by a private company derailed at more than 120 miles per hour.
The accident is being called one of Europe's worst railway accidents in 80 years. This is NPR. A ceasefire between Syria's government and Syrian Kurdish forces has fallen apart in less than 24 hours. Government forces have retaken Kurdish-held towns in northeastern Syria. NPR's Jane Araf reports they've also seized prisons where ISIS suspects were being held.
The Kurdish forces said they lost control of the Shadadi prison and its thousands of ISIS suspects after forces loyal to the Syrian government moved in. Video shows what appear to be a dozen former inmates, some carrying gray prison blankets, being walked away. A former military spokesman for the U.S.-led anti-ISIS coalition in Syria, Miles Caggins III, says he believes the video is authentic. The prison, he says...
Absolutely in the hands of the Syrian central government now. And some of the prisoners are even amputees being carried down the street to freedom.
The U.S. for years has maintained bases in the area to help Kurdish forces fight ISIS. Jane Araf, NPR News, Amman.
The World Economic Forum's annual meeting got underway Monday in Davos, Switzerland. The event brings together elites from business, government, and culture.
