The US says it's seized two Venezuela-linked oil tankers – one vessel in the Caribbean and a Russian-flagged vessel in the North Atlantic. 

The UK military supported the seizure of the second. 

Russia says the tanker was only temporarily flagged to Russia, but no state has the right to use force against properly registered vessels in other countries' jurisdictions. 

UK Correspondent Rod Liddle told Andrew Dickens the response from Russia was more moderate than expected.

Parents are demanding the detention of the owners of a Swiss bar that burst into flames at New Year, killing 40 people and injuring more than 100. 

Most victims of the blaze at Le Constellation were teens. 

Local authorities say the bar hadn’t had safety checks, investigations, or audits for five years. 

Europe Correspondent Jo McKenna told Andrew Dickens the French managers of the bar are being investigated for murder and arson.  

She says prosecutors and police say they’re not a flight risk, but there are demands for them to be detained.

The Black Foils are “hungry” for a win in this year’s SailGP. 

The event returns to Auckland this February, setting sale in Waitematā Harbour. 

Liv Mackay is the team’s strategist, reading the wind, calling the moves, and helping steer our team to the front of the pack. 

She told Andrew Dickens it’s about performing in that final, and they haven’t quite performed yet. 

But, Mackay said, they’re ready to fight for it this year.
