Headline News Update Weekend

Good afternoon. I’m Anneta Scoop — these are your headlines.We start here with international headlines: Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping are being blamed for double-dog daring United States President Donald Trump into annexing Greenland.After reaching a reported agreement with NATO over Greenland, the president is said to have doubled down, this time targeting Iceland with a vow to not seize the island by force, but could if he wanted to.At the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, news organizations scrambled this week to find cryptographers and translators as they work to seek clarity of the hours-long speech delivered by President Trump.Closer to home: While President Trump continues to lash out at Canada by pushing an American first agenda and proclaiming the United States doesn’t need Canada, Vancouver-based social media firm Hootsuite has signed a contract with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement to revamp the agency’s social media presence, a campaign officials say is aimed at improving public perception of where Canada is actually located.As temperatures drop nationwide, homeowners who rely on electric heat pumps have faced outages and have resorted to diesel generators to keep their homes warm and to charge electric vehicles, raising fresh concerns about how the north gets cold, I mean really really cold and maybe only using electric everything might not be the way to go.In space and aviation: A Dorito-shaped unidentified aerial phenomenon was photographed over Area 51, the super secret, but widely known Nevada military installation. The sighting has drawn attention from ufologists — and, apparently, from those with the late-night munchies.And finally, from Canada: A spokesperson for the now-closed Marineland amusement park says arrangements have been made for the park’s remaining 30 beluga whales and four dolphins. In a statement that surprised observers, the park said time travelers from the 23rd century have agreed to take the animals with them in an effort to repopulate the species and save the world from a giant space log. That’s a look at today’s top stories.
