Avalanche, Racial Slur, Talks: World in Turmoil

Rescuers in California are searching for 10 missing backcountry skiers after an avalanche struck the Castle Peak area near Truckee, according to the Nevada County Sheriff's Office. The avalanche, reported around 11:30 PST on Wednesday, left a group of 16 skiers, including four guides and 12 clients, in a dangerous situation. Six other individuals were stranded and awaiting rescue, as weather conditions remained hazardous with a high chance of further avalanches, according to BBC World.

Highly-skilled rescue ski teams were deployed from two nearby ski resorts, the sheriff's office stated. The search efforts were hampered by the ongoing risk of additional avalanches in the region. The incident occurred in the Lake Tahoe area, a popular destination for winter sports enthusiasts.

In other news, a climber is on trial in Austria, accused of leaving his girlfriend to die on the Grossglockner, the country's highest mountain. The woman, Kerstin G, died of hypothermia during a climbing trip in January 2025. Her boyfriend is accused of abandoning her near the summit in stormy conditions while he went to seek help, according to BBC World. The trial has garnered significant interest, both in Austria and among mountain climbing communities worldwide.

Meanwhile, in Geneva, Switzerland, the third round of trilateral talks between Russia, Ukraine, and the United States continued, with the four-year anniversary of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine approaching next week. While vague references to progress were made, no tangible outcomes have been shared publicly, according to Al Jazeera.

In the world of sports, a Real Madrid Champions League match against Benfica was halted for 11 minutes after Vinicius Junior reported a racial slur from an opposition player, as reported by Sky News. The incident occurred in Lisbon, Portugal, shortly after Vinicius gave Real Madrid a 1-0 lead.

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