[allAfrica] Rio de Janeiro, Brazil -- The global HIV response stands at a defining moment, with health leaders warning that decades of progress are at risk as international funding declines and prevention programmes are scaled back across some of the world's hardest-hit countries
The Trilateral talks between U.S., Russia and Ukraine in Abu Dhabi were "positive" and "constructive," Ukrainian officials told Axios. Why it matters: The talks were a new phase in the U.S. mediation efforts aimed at ending the war. President Trump's advisers want to try and narrow the gaps on the key sticking point — the territorial control in eastern Ukraine. Driving the news: The talks took place as Russia launched another massive missile and drone attack against Kyiv and other cities overnight. Ukrainian President Zelensky said 370 attack drones and 21 missiles of various types were fired by the Russian military. "We must ensure full implementation of everything agreed with President Trump in Davos regarding air defense," he stressed. State of play: The talks started on Friday and continued on Saturday with U.S. mediators holding a joint meeting with Russian and Ukrainian negotiators and with the Russians and Ukrainians meeting directly without the Americans in the room, Ukrainian officials said. The U.S. delegation included Trump advisers Steve Witkoff, Jared Kushner and Josh Gruenbaum, Army Secretary Dan Driscoll and the commander of the U.S. military European command, Alexus Grynkewich.The Ukrainian team included Zelensky's chief of staff Kyrylo Budanov, national security adviser Rustem Umerov, Ukrainian military chief of staff General Andrii Hnatov and Zelensky's advisers Sergiy Kyslytsya and Davyd Arakhamia. Zoom in: The Russian team was led by the head of Russian military intelligence Admiral Igor Kostyukov. The negotiation teams also held a meeting with the President of the UAE Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed, who hosted the talks. The UAE had mediated between Russia and Ukraine on the exchange of prisoners of war."The discussions on Friday and Saturday were conducted in a constructive and positive atmosphere and included direct engagement between Russian and Ukrainian representatives on outstanding elements of the U.S.-proposed peace framework, as well as conf

Blizzard warnings blanket the Northeast Monday as a beastly winter storm is snarling travel and pounding millions with heavy snow. Threat level: In hard-hit areas, travel will be "extremely treacherous," forecasters say, and some leaders are restricting it. Meanwhile, more than half a million customers in Massachusetts, New Jersey, Delaware, Rhode Island are without power. The latest: The National Weather Service predicted Monday morning that heavy snowfall rates and gusty winds will keep battering the Northeast and spread into New England. The governors of New York, Massachusetts, New Jersey and several other eastern states declared states of emergency and urged residents to stay home.Winter storm forecast The NWS said very heavy snowfall rates of at least 2 to 3 inches per hour would persist Monday, along with 40 to 70 mile-per-hour winds. Those conditions make travel "nearly impossible."In New York, a local NWS branch warned of whiteout conditions, which severely limit visibility.Snowfall amounts updated Monday morning showed roughly 15 inches of snow in Central Park, more than 18 inches at Newark and upward of 22 inches at Islip on Long Island. NWS Boston stressed in its most recent discussion that the storm would "likely bring extreme to destructive impacts south and east of the I-95 corridor." The area forecast discussion said reports of snowfall in the region exceeding 30 inches would not be a surprise. Zoom out: Areas near the coastline could awake to one to two feet of snow by tomorrow morning, per the NWS Weather Prediction Center. Travel bans and flight cancellations The massive storm has grounded air travel, with more than 5,300 flights canceled within, into or out of the U.S. as of roughly 8:30am ET. That includes more than 500 flights at both John F. Kennedy International Airport and LaGuardia in New York City. Zoom in: Several regional leaders also announced travel restrictions.
