King Charles III diagnosed with cancer |
After being hospitalized recently, King Charles III was diagnosed with cancer, Buckingham Palace announced Monday. The cancer was identified after the king, 75, underwent a "corrective procedure" last week at The London Clinic while seeking treatment for an enlarged prostate, a statement from Buckingham Palace said. The type and severity of the cancer have not been revealed. Charles will pause his public-facing duties but "will continue to undertake State business and official paperwork as usual," the palace said. 👑 Here's what we know. | Britain's King Charles III and Queen Camilla are seen leaving The London Clinic on Jan. 29 in London.

Flooding, mudslides swamp California |
The tail end of a powerful atmospheric river storm that knocked out power to hundreds of thousands of California homes and businesses was deluging the state Monday with more heavy rain, mudslides, flooding and several feet of snow in the mountains. The brunt of the storm's fury Monday morning centered on the Los Angeles area, where 1.4 million people were under a flash flood warning. Across Southern California, the heavy winds that blasted the region Sunday were diminishing, but the National Weather Service warned that an unstable weather pattern could generate waterspouts or small tornadoes. Rainfall totals of up to 8 inches are still in the forecast for some areas. 🌧️ What we know about the storm and its impacts. | An SUV sits buried by a mudslide on Monday in the Beverly Crest area of Los Angeles.

Israel: No cease-fire near |
More than half of Hamas' fighters are dead or wounded, and Israel has destroyed 18 of 24 Hamas military battalions, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Monday. Emphasizing that cease-fire talks were continuing but that a deal is not near, Netanyahu said Israel wants a deal similar to the one that resulted in the release of more than 100 hostages in November. But no deal for the remaining hostages will be tied to a complete withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza, he said. 👉 Follow our live updates. | Palestinians mourn their relatives killed in the Israeli bombardment of the Gaza Strip in Deir al Balah on Monday.

Who run the Grammys? Girls |
Girls to the front. For all that the Grammy Awards get wrong (just ask Jay-Z and he'll give you the list) they got a lot right Sunday. Aside from participation trophies for Finneas O'Connell and Jack Antonoff – with Billie Eilish and Taylor Swift, respectively – all of the nine televised awards were won by women. |
They were the first Grammy wins for two of those artists despite their decade-plus careers. But these Grammys didn't only acknowledge a heartening number of women directly – more than 40 of the 94 categories by our hazy math – they rewarded persistence and spotlighted artists with massive influence appeal. 👯♀️ Keep reading. | Miley Cyrus performs 'Flowers' during the 66th Annual Grammy Awards, after winning her first award.
