Putin says Russia will 'take into account' NATO's nuclear capability

Russian President Vladimir Putin said in an interview broadcast Sunday that after Russia suspended its participation in the last arms control agreement with Washington, it would “take into account” the nuclear weapons capabilities not only of the United States but of other NATO countries.

In an interview with Russian TV, he said he took the action to "preserve our country, ensure security and strategic stability." Putin repeated his common theme that the West is bent on destroying Russia and that his one-year-old war in Ukraine is part of a battle for Russia's very survival. Read more

More unusual weather expected after historic snow, rain in California

More harsh weather is expected in California this week after the state was hit with a historic weather front that impacted a wide swath of Southern California with stunning snow, record rains, and flooding. The first of two new storms brought rain and snow Sunday to northern California. Blizzard warnings will go into effect at 4 a.m. Monday and will last until Wednesday for much of the Sierra Nevada. The snow won't sweep down to the edge of coastal cities as it did in recent days, but this week's forecast for Los Angeles does call for high temperatures in the low 50s — about 15 degrees below normal. Read more about the weather in the U.S.
