American skier Lindsey Vonn announced she would need at least two more surgeries after a crash during her downhill race at the Winter Olympics last weekend, according to CBS News. The Olympic veteran from Colorado, who previously underwent three surgeries for the injury, shared the update in a social media video. She is expected to have another surgery Saturday and potentially return to the U.S. for a further operation, CBS News reported.
Meanwhile, the world is facing other significant developments. The German Chancellor warned that the world's rules-based order "no longer exists" at the Munich Security Conference, according to BBC World. Friedrich Merz told other world leaders that Europeans must be ready to make "sacrifice" in an era of big power politics. He also admitted that "a deep divide has opened between Europe and the United States," BBC World reported. The conference is taking place against the backdrop of US President Donald Trump's actions, including threatening Denmark's sovereignty over Greenland and imposing tariffs on imports from European nations.
In other news, a new documentary from Fox Nation, "House of Maduro: Palace to Prison," examines the rise and fall of former Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro. The documentary traces Maduro's journey from a bus driver to the successor of Hugo Chávez. The report also mentions the presence of U.S. warships and 10,000 Marines off the coast of Venezuela, the closure of the country's airspace by Trump, and Maduro being branded as the head of a terrorist cartel, according to Fox News.
Additionally, the US President Donald Trump announced the reversal of the so-called endangerment finding, a key Obama-era scientific ruling that underpins much of US environmental legislation, according to BBC World. This decision by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is expected to be challenged in the courts by environmental groups. Experts predict various environmental and economic impacts, including fewer restrictions placed on greenhouse-gas emissions, BBC World reported.
Finally, the Louvre Museum in Paris suffered another setback as a water leak damaged a 19th-century ceiling painting, according to BBC World. The leak, discovered late Thursday night in the "Duchâtel" room, affected Charles Meynier's "The Apotheosis of Poussin, Le Sueur and Le Brun." The museum also reported that French police detained nine people, including two museum staff, over a suspected ticket fraud scheme, BBC World reported.
