An armed man was shot and killed after breaching the secure perimeter of President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence on Sunday. Neither Trump nor the first lady was present at the time of the incident, and no one else on the estate was harmed.

Here’s what else you need to know to get up to speed and on with your day.

1⃣ Mexico violence

Mexico’s most-wanted cartel boss and head of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel, Nemesio “El Mencho” Oseguera Cervantes, was killed Sunday in a Mexican military operation in the town of Tapalpa. His death sparked widespread unrest, with suspected gang members torching buses and businesses while clashing with security forces. The US State Department urged American nationals in parts of Mexico to stay indoors until further notice as several other countries issued similar advisories to their citizens. The White House said the US provided intelligence support for the operation, part of ongoing efforts to put pressure on Mexico to curb drug trafficking.

2⃣ Winter storm

A powerful winter storm is slamming the northeastern US, bringing heavy snow to areas from Virginia to Maine and putting more than 40 million people under blizzard warnings. Places hardest hit could see up to two feet of snow, with more than a foot expected in Philadelphia, New York and Boston — the most seen in years for some. The treacherous conditions have made travel nearly impossible, prompting thousands of flight cancellations and widespread public transit shutdowns. New York City has also enacted a citywide travel ban until at least noon and canceled schools today, its first proper snow day since 2019.

3⃣ TSA PreCheck

The Department of Homeland Security has reversed its decision to suspend the TSA’s PreCheck program after initially causing confusion on Sunday by announcing a temporary halt. DHS initially said that PreCheck, along with the Global Entry program, would close at 6 a.m. ET due to the ongoing partial government shutdown. The agency later clarified in a statement that it “will evaluate on a case-by-case basis and adjust operations.” Analysts say a potential PreCheck suspension would affect millions of flyers by effectively dismantling expedited security lanes and fast‑track customs processing.

4⃣ Olympics conclude

The 2026 Winter Olympics came to an end on Sunday with a grand closing ceremony in Verona, Italy. At the end of the show, the baton was passed to France, which will host the next Winter Games in 2030. This year, Norway — the most decorated country in Winter Olympics history — once again led the medal count with 41 overall, including 18 gold. Cross-country skier Johannes Høsflot Klæbo topped the charts, becoming the first athlete

Un vuelo de Delta Air Lines desde Savannah, Georgia, a Atlanta se vio obligado a regresar el domingo por la noche debido a un problema en el motor, que provocó un gran incendio de pasto cerca de la pista del aeropuerto, según el audio del control de tráfico aéreo.

El vuelo 1067 de Delta, un Boeing 737-900, acababa de despegar del Aeropuerto Internacional de Savannah/Hilton Head alrededor de las 6:45 p. m. del domingo cuando el piloto declaró una emergencia.

“¿Todo bien? Vi una llama bastante grande al despegar”, le preguntó un controlador aéreo al piloto, según se escucha en una grabación de radio en Broadcastify.

“Perdimos el motor izquierdo justo aquí en la ruta Delta 1067”, se puede escuchar decir al piloto.

Poco después, el controlador reconoce el incendio de pasto y le ordena a otro avión en la pista que se mueva, diciendo “vamos a enviar un camión de bomberos, toda la calle de rodaje está en llamas”.

El piloto del vuelo 1067 pregunta más tarde: “Este incendio. ¿Está relacionado con la pista? ¿Es lo que acaba de pasar con nuestro avión o es algo diferente?”.

El controlador respondió: “Desafortunadamente, cuando el motor explotó, incendió todo el césped del lado izquierdo del aeropuerto”.

Había 179 pasajeros, dos pilotos y cuatro auxiliares de vuelo a bordo, según WSB, afiliada de CNN. Nadie resultó herido.

“El vuelo 1067 de Delta de Savannah a Atlanta regresó al aeropuerto poco después del despegue el domingo por la noche, luego de un problema mecánico con el motor izquierdo del avión”, dijo Delta en un comunicado, según WJCL, afiliada de CNN .

“El Boeing 737-900 aterrizó de manera segura y fue recibido por camiones de bomberos, mientras los clientes desembarcaban en la puerta de embarque”, indicó el comunicado de la aerolínea.

El vuelo aterrizó nuevamente en el centro de tránsito a las 7:12 p.m., según el rastreador de vuelos FlightAware.

Un video compartido en redes sociales mostró grandes anillos de fuego junto a la pista, con una densa neblina anaranjada en el horizonte. En un video, se escuchan vientos frenéticos.

Las pasajeras Mary Muff y Jeanne Miraglia dijeron a WTOC, afiliada de CNN , cómo oyeron un gran estruendo alrededor del despegue.

“El piloto llegó diciendo que el motor se había fundido, pero tenemos otro motor en buen estado”, dijo Miraglia a WTOC. “Y vamos a estar bien, y nos dijo qué buscar: camiones de bomberos, incendios de pasto y cosas así”.

CNN se ha comunicado con Delta Air Lines, el Aeropuerto Internacional de Savannah/Hilton Head y la Administración Federal de Aviación.

Los equipos de emergencia, incluyendo bomberos, acudieron al lugar, según informó el Departamento de Bomberos de Garden City en Facebook. El departamento indicó que estaba trabajando en coordinación con el Departamento de Bomberos de Savannah, el Departamento de Bomberos y Rescate de Pooler y el Departamento de Bomberos del Ala de Transporte Aéreo 165.

El incendio ya se ha extinguido, informó WSB, y el fuego no afectó vuelos ni pistas, informó WJCL.

(CNN) — A Delta Air Lines flight from Savannah, Georgia, to Atlanta was forced to turn back Sunday night due to engine trouble, which sparked a large grass fire near the airport runway, according to air traffic control audio.

Delta flight 1067, a Boeing 737-900, had just taken off from Savannah/Hilton Head International Airport around 6:45 p.m. Sunday when the pilot declared an emergency.

“Everything ok? I saw a pretty large flame on takeoff,” an air traffic controller asked the pilot, heard in a radio recording on Broadcastify.

“We lost left engine straight out here for Delta 1067,” the pilot can be heard saying.

The controller acknowledges the grass fire shortly after, telling another plane on the runway to move, saying “we’re going to get a fire truck out there, that whole taxiway is on fire.”

The pilot of flight 1067 later asks: “This fire. Is it related to the runway? Is it what just happened with our airplane, or is it something different?”

The controller replied, “Unfortunately, when the engine blew, it set the whole grass on the left side of the airport on fire.”

There were 179 customers, 2 pilots and 4 flight attendants on board, according to CNN affiliate WSB. No one was injured.

“Delta flight 1067 from Savannah to Atlanta returned to the airport soon after takeoff Sunday evening, following a mechanical issue with the aircraft’s left engine,” Delta said in a statement, according to CNN affiliate WJCL.

“The Boeing 737-900 landed safely and was met by fire trucks, with customers deplaning at the gate,” the airline statement said.

The flight landed back at the transit hub at 7:12 p.m., according to flight tracker FlightAware.

Video shared on social media showed large rings of fire alongside the runway, with a thick, orange haze on the horizon. In one video, breakneck winds can be heard.

Passengers Mary Muff and Jeanne Miraglia told CNN affiliate WTOC how they heard a large boom around take off.

“The pilot came on saying the engine had blown, but we have another good engine,” Miraglia told WTOC. “And we’re gonna be fine and told us what to look for – fire trucks, grass fires, and things like that.”

CNN has reached out to Delta Air Lines, Savannah/Hilton Head International Airport, and the Federal Aviation Administration.

Emergency response teams, including firefighters, were called to the scene Garden City Fire Rescue said on Facebook. The department said it was operating in coordination with the Savannah Fire Department, Pooler Fire-Rescue and 165th Airlift Wing Fire Department.

The blaze has since been extinguished, WSB reported, and the fire did not affect flights or runways, WJCL reported.

10 must-see looks from the 2026 BAFTAs red carpet

By Leah Dolan, CNN

London (CNN) — As if there weren’t already enough showstopping outfits at London Fashion Week this weekend, the coinciding 79th British Academy Film Awards on Sunday offered another stage for brands to showcase their designs as Hollywood A-listers including Timothée Chalamet, Teyana Taylor, Chase Infiniti, Ethan Hawke and Kirsten Dunst descended on the city’s Royal Festival Hall for the UK’s glitziest film awards ceremony.

Savvy stars understand the significance of the BAFTAs: Not only does it offer a chance to celebrate the best in British creativity, but its red carpet also offers an opportunity to propel one’s career. For years now, fashion has played a greater role in a film’s marketing strategy, as evident most recently with “Wuthering Heights” and “Marty Supreme.” Meanwhile, more stars are signing lucrative ambassadorship contracts that arguably allows them to skip the mainstream, well-paying blockbuster in favor of a more niche film project, so long as they wear their client’s clothes on the red carpet.

At this year’s event, the clothes were quirky, distinctive and elegant, and often in subdued shades like crimson, plum and black. Some attendees chose to support British fashion stalwarts such as Roksanda, Erdem and Burberry, the latter whose runway show this evening will close out London Fashion Week. Other stars, like BAFTAs Rising Star nominee Archie Madekwe who wore a silk neck ruff by Dior, toyed with British historical dress codes.

Seemingly in keeping with the eccentric whimsy that British fashion has become known for, many of the otherwise more traditional gowns came with something unexpected — see the sculptural hem on Chase Infiniti’s Louis Vuitton dress or the dramatic, side-swiping cut-out of Renate Reinsve’s. Meanwhile, there was also plenty of Matthieu Blazy’s Chanel, with several celebrity guests including Maya Rudolph, Gracie Abrams, Jessie Buckley and Tilda Swinton wearing his zeitgeist designs.

See 10 looks from the BAFTAs that caught our eye.

Kirsten Dunst

It was Kirsten Dunst’s first BAFTA awards, and although she was nominated for her performance in “Roofman,” she arrived on the red carpet looking like she had taken inspiration from another award-winning film: “Poor Things,” which spurred a trend for inflated mutton sleeves. Her giant puff-sleeved dusty rose jacket (which sat on top of a pale pink and black midi dress) was from Valentino, and looked best when posed in a power stance.

Ethan Hawke

It’s hard to go wrong with a suit by Giorgio Armani (the late designer has long defined red-carpet glamor with his sleek, tailored designs). Such was the choice of Ethan Hawke at the BAFTAs: the “Blue Moon” actor and Richard Linklater favorite wore a one-button suit by the Italian label paired with a champagne-colored shirt and smart dress shoes. Yet, staying true to his personal style, which in recent years has seen the actor embrace classic, understated menswear with an unexpected bohemian edge, he injected personality into his BAFTA outfit with a jeweled gold bolo tie.

Teyana Taylor

Teyana Taylor is carving out a name for herself as a red carpet vixen, — setting her own terms on how a movie star should appear in the arena of fashion. For her latest look at the BAFTAs, in which she was up for best supporting actress for “One Battle After Another,” Taylor wor
