The article focuses on the situation in Minneapolis, where public outrage has grown following an immigration crackdown by the Trump administration in December and the killing of two US citizens. Despite softened rhetoric from the White House, there's little change in tactics on the ground. Other news includes Peter Mandelson resigning from the Labour party due to his friendship with Jeffrey Epstein, Donald Trump hinting at a deal with Iran to avoid military strikes, and a Russian drone attack in Ukraine killing at least 12 mine workers. The US also aims to halt fuel shipments to Cuba. The Grammy Awards saw Bad Bunny and Kendrick Lamar win big, with musicians using the event to protest Trump's ICE policies.
