Sabotage Hits Italy as Olympics Begin; Trump 'Didn't See' Video

Italy's railway network suffered significant disruption due to suspected acts of sabotage as the Winter Olympic Games commenced, according to BBC World. Authorities reported three separate incidents involving damage to railway lines in northern Italy, leading to severe travel delays. The Ministry of Transport labeled the incidents as "serious sabotage."

One incident involved a fire that damaged rail infrastructure between Bologna and Venice, causing delays of up to two-and-a-half hours. Police also discovered severed cables and an explosive device nearby. The incidents occurred as thousands gathered for the start of the Winter Olympic Games. The police believe the attacks are connected to the Games.

In other news, US President Donald Trump stated he "didn't see" a racist clip depicting Barack and Michelle Obama as apes in a social media video he shared, according to BBC World. The clip, set to the song "The Lion Sleeps Tonight," was at the end of a 62-second video containing claims about voter fraud in the 2020 presidential election. Trump said he had only seen the beginning of the video before it was posted by a staff member.

Meanwhile, the award-winning fantasy game series Baldur's Gate is being adapted into a TV series, reported BBC Technology. The show will be headed by Craig Mazin, known for HBO's "The Last of Us" adaptation. However, Baldur's Gate developers Larian Studios will not be directly involved in the production.

Also, a US court ordered Uber to pay $8.5 million to a woman who claimed she was raped by a driver for the ride-share company, according to BBC Technology. The federal lawsuit, heard in Arizona, found Uber responsible for the driver's behavior. Uber stated its intention to appeal the verdict.

Finally, Google executives are facing pressure from staff over the company's ties to the federal government's immigration enforcement, BBC Technology reported. Nearly 900 Google employees demanded more transparency over how the company's technology is being used within the US government. A Google employee of seven years found it "mind-boggling" that Google was maintaining its ties with the immigration enforcement, according to the report.
