The first snow of the season fell in Moscow, one of the world’s coldest capitals. While the snow depth reached 10 centimeters in some places, the city’s highways, rivers, and lakes froze as the air temperature dropped to minus 5 degrees Celsius. Russia’s Ministry of Emergency Situations warned the public not to park vehicles under balconies or billboards ahead of snowfall. The Moscow Municipality also warned residents to be cautious of frost and icing, as the city’s air temperature is expected to hover between -5 and 0 degrees for the next five days. Furthermore, the municipality stated that all security measures were implemented in the city and that salting was done to prevent icing on main and side roads.
French President Emmanuel Macron arrived in the UK with First Lady Brigitte Macron for a three-day official visit at the invitation of King Charles III.
Welcomed by Prince William and Princess Kate at RAF Northolt, the Macrons traveled to Windsor, where they were received with full honors. A horse-drawn parade and a military band performance of the French national anthem marked the reception.
Macron later met King Charles and Queen Camilla at Windsor Castle, where a luncheon and a private viewing of French-related royal artifacts were scheduled. This marks Macron’s first official UK visit since taking office in 2017.
