Avalanche Kills 8 Skiers Near Tahoe; Trump Warns on Diego Garcia

Eight backcountry skiers were found dead following an avalanche near California's Lake Tahoe, while one remains missing and presumed deceased, authorities announced Wednesday. The avalanche occurred near Castle Peak in Nevada County on Tuesday, as a heavy snowstorm brought blizzard conditions to higher elevations, according to CBS News.

The Nevada County Sheriff's Office reported that a total of 15 backcountry skiers were involved in the avalanche. Six skiers survived and were rescued from the site. Search efforts intensified Wednesday as crews worked to recover the remains of the deceased and bring them off the mountain to be reunited with their families after autopsies were performed, according to ABC News. Search crews braved "highly dangerous" conditions to rescue the six survivors, authorities said.

In other news, U.S. President Donald Trump criticized the UK's plan to hand over the Chagos Islands to Mauritius, including the important military base of Diego Garcia. "Do not give away Diego Garcia," Trump said, adding that it would be "a blight on our Great Ally," according to BBC World. This comes despite Washington giving its official backing to London's plan to cede sovereignty of the British Indian Ocean Territory to Mauritius on Tuesday.

Meanwhile, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez faced criticism for several gaffes during the Munich Security Conference in Germany. Multiple co-hosts of "The View" agreed that Ocasio-Cortez had embarrassing moments on the world stage, according to Fox News. One of the leading voices of the Democratic Party and a rumored 2028 presidential frontrunner, Ocasio-Cortez was criticized for comments she made during the conference.

In sports, figure skater Ilia Malinin reflected on his Olympic experience after finishing eighth in the individual men's event at the Milano Cortina Winter Games. "You learn a lot more from failure than you do winning," Malinin told CBS News. He stressed he was focused on moving forward and continuing to push the boundaries of the sport, even though he failed to perform his signature quadruple axel in the free skate portion of the competition.
