Trump Moves Warships, Iran Responds, Tensions Rise

Real Madrid's Champions League match against Benfica was halted for 11 minutes after Vinicius Junior reported a racial slur from a Benfica player, according to Sky News. The incident, which occurred in Lisbon, Portugal, shortly after Vinicius gave Real Madrid a 1-0 lead, prompted the referee to stop the game in the second half.

In other news, Russia is set to have athletes compete under their own flag at the Paralympic Games for the first time since 2014, as reported by Sky News. The International Paralympic Committee (IPC) awarded Russia's National Paralympic Committee six slots in the upcoming Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Games. This decision follows Russia's previous bans from the games in 2016 due to a state-sponsored doping scheme and in 2022 due to the invasion of Ukraine.

Meanwhile, France released an oil tanker suspected of belonging to Russia's sanctioned "shadow fleet" after its owner paid a fine worth millions of euros, Euronews reported. The vessel, named the Grinch, was seized in the Mediterranean Sea on January 22nd on suspicion of violating sanctions against Russia. The tanker had set sail from Murmansk in northern Russia and was flying under a false Comoros flag.

In international affairs, tensions continue to rise in the Middle East, with Donald Trump moving warships and Iran dropping any subtlety in its response, according to Sky News. Iran conducted exercises in a strategic waterway, simulating missile strikes and tanker seizures.

Finally, talk show host Stephen Colbert revealed that CBS forbade him from interviewing Texas Democratic Senate candidate James Talarico due to a Federal Communications Commission threat to enforce the equal-time rule, Ars Technica reported. Colbert stated, "We were told in no uncertain terms by our networks lawyers, who called us directly, that we could not have him on the broadcast." He added that he was also told he could not mention not having the candidate on the show.
