What recent developments occurred in the Nancy Guthrie case?
Live from NPR News, I'm Dale Willman. Today's show anchor Savannah Guthrie posted a new message to Instagram Sunday. In it, she said her family still has hope for their mother, Nancy, who disappeared from her home two weeks ago. And Guthrie urged anyone with information about her mother to do the right thing. Whoever has her or knows where she is, that it's never too late. Police, meanwhile, say a glove found about two miles from Nancy Guthrie's home appears to match those worn by a masked person outside her door the day she disappeared. The glove is being tested for DNA. Slovakia is pitching itself as a place for diplomacy on Ukraine. As NPR's Michelle Kellerman reports, Secretary of State Marco Rubio sounded interested in the idea as he visited the country, which leans toward Russia.
Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico says he's ready to host any future peace negotiations. He blamed Europe for prolonging the war by supplying weapons to Ukraine and did not criticize Russia at all during his news conference with Secretary of State Rubio, who thanked him for his insights on Ukraine.
It is something that we care about, but it is something you live next door to.
Vito praised Rubio's boss, President Trump, as a, quote, very pragmatic and rational leader, once again dismissing reports that he told some EU leaders that he was worried about Trump's mental state during a visit in Florida last month. Rubio is now in Hungary to meet another pro-Trump leader, Viktor Orban. Michelle Kellerman, NPR News, Budapest.
Former President Barack Obama this weekend addressed the racist video that President Trump posted on a social media account earlier this month. NPR's Shondalese Duster has more on that story.
Former President Obama told progressive YouTuber Brian Tyler Cohen there's, quote, this sort of clown show that's happening in social media and on television. He also said many Americans find this behavior deeply troubling.
What is true is that there doesn't seem to be any shame about this among people who... used to feel like you had to have some sort of decorum and a sense of propriety and respect for the office, right? So that's been lost.
On the immigration crackdown and protests in Minnesota and elsewhere, Obama said there is a good number of American people saying in response, quote, we're going to live up to those values that we say we believe in. Shondalese Duster, NPR News.
A winter storm is hitting much of California at this hour, bringing thunderstorms and damaging winds to some areas and heavy snowfall in the northern part of the state. In the southeastern U.S., meanwhile, another storm system brought tornado watches and some damage. In Louisiana, high winds toppled power poles and damaged an airport jet bridge. This is NPR News. Israel is beginning a land registration process in the occupied West Bank. On Sunday, the country's cabinet approved a decision to restart the long-frozen process. That means Israeli authorities can declare an area of land up for registration. Critics say the move could shift large areas into state control. The U.S. men's hockey team remains undefeated at the Winter Olympics with a 5-1 victory on Sunday.
It was the team's third straight win. Steve Futterman reports from Milan.
It was another easy win for the American men, this time against Germany. The U.S. never trailed, scoring once in the first period, two more times in the second. The Americans made it 5-0 in the third before Germany was able to get on the scoreboard. Austin Matthews of the Toronto Maple Leafs led the U.S. with two goals.
How is Slovakia positioning itself in the Ukraine conflict?
The U.S. now advances to the quarterfinals. The Americans will next play either Sweden or Latvia. The team to beat here still appears to be the Canadian squad. It won its third game, beating France 10-2. In its three games, the Canadians have outscored their opponents 20-3. For NPR News, I'm Steve Futterman in Milan.
