The village was placed under a red flood alert on Friday while farmers worked overnight to save animals.

The president of Finland, Alexander Stubb, said a ceasefire in Ukraine is unlikely before the end of the year, pointing to the spring as a more plausible time for progress in ending the war.

Thousands of Mexicans marched in Mexico City on Saturday to protest the government of President Claudia Sheinbaum. The demonstration was initially called by Generation Z, though opposition parties later urged supporters to join, resulting in a crowd dominated by broader government critics.

Some young protesters carried black flags with the skull-and-crossbones symbol from the manga One Piece, though they represented a minority.
