February 16, 2022: Russia, NATO, Ukraine, Trudeau, Nancy Pelosi, India’s Karnataka, South Korea COVID cases
1. Russia said more of its forces surrounding Ukraine were withdrawing but NATO urged Moscow to prove it was pulling back, saying there were signs that more troops were on the way.
2. Frustration with the failure of Canadian police to lift blockades at the border and in the capital, along with scenes of protesters lounging in hot tubs near Parliament, ultimately drove Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to seek emergency powers, three sources said.
3. U.S. House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi landed in Israel as part of a Congressional delegation to the country, reiterating the United States' "iron clad" support for Israel's security.
4. Senior schools reopened in the Indian state of Karnataka a week after authorities closed them in the face of protests against a ban on female students wearing the hijab Muslim head covering in class.
5. South Korea's daily count of new coronavirus cases topped 90,000 for the first time, driven to a record by the fast-spreading Omicron variant that has seen daily tallies nearly double in just a week.
