President Trump is in Switzerland this morning with Greenland on the minds of many of the leaders at this year's World Economic Forum in Davos. The president is scheduled to deliver a keynote address at the forum and has also said he has several meetings planned, including discussions centered around his efforts to bring Greenland under U.S. control.        Border Patrol head Greg Bovino is highlighting the arrests made during the immigration crackdown in Minnesota. During a press conference this week, Bovino said they're catching the worst of the worst. His comments come after DHS Secretary Kristi Noem took to X on Monday to announce over ten-thousand arrests have been made in Minneapolis.        Striking New York City nurses are seeing political support as they march on the picket lines. U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders and New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani brought donuts to hundreds of striking nurses on the picket line Tuesday. Both lawmakers say they stand with the nurses who are now in their tenth day of a strike as they demand better pay and benefits and safer working conditions.        The man who assassinated former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe [[ ahb-ay ]] will be in prison for life. Tetsuya Yamagami was sentenced today for the 2022 assassination carried out with a homemade gun.        Dozens of beaches across Australia were closed Tuesday after four shark attacks in 48 hours. Three of the attacks happened off of Sydney. None of the attacks have been fatal, though one child victim is reportedly fighting for his life.        Netflix is agreeing to pay cash for Warner Bros. Discovery's assets. According to an SEC filing, Netflix has upgraded its offer and is planning to pay 27-dollars-and-75-cents per WBD share in cash to acquire its streaming platform HBO Max and the Warner Bros. film studio. It comes as Netflix attempts to thwart Paramount Skydance's rival takeover campaign.
