PERSON FALLING OF FLOATATION DEVICE INTO RIVER 18. PEOPLE SITTING ON RIVER BANK STORY: Searing heat scorched southeastern Australia on Monday (January 25), stoking bushfires near the city of Adelaide and driving crowds to the beaches on an extended long weekend in what has mostly been a wetter than normal summer. Six firefighting aircraft and crews on the ground battled blazes in the Adelaide Hills, where two homes were damaged or destroyed, state officials said on Sunday (January 24), adding that investigations were underway into the cause. The fire risk was downgraded on Monday, with residents urged to "watch and act". Temperatures soared above 40 degrees C (104°F) across the southeast, but dropped sharply as a cool change moved in earlier than expected in Victoria, where temperatures dropped about 10 degrees in 10 minutes, the Bureau of Meteorology said. The blazing heat is expected to continue for another day in Australia's biggest city, Sydney, in the state of New South Wales before a cool change brings temperatures back to the mid-20s degrees Celsius. The overall fire threat in Australia has otherwise been muted this season in stark contrast to last year, dubbed the "Black Summer", when bushfires killed 33 people and billions of native animals and razed more than 24 million hectares (59 million acres).

Former Google executive Carlo d'Asaro Biondo has been appointed as Chief executive officer of Telecom Italia's (TIM) newly-created cloud unit Noovle, Italy's biggest phone group said on Monday. The creation of the new company is part of the former phone monopoly's strategy to boost and diversify its revenues, providing services to businesses and state-controlled offices looking to improve their digital reach.

Venezuela's Juan Guaido is a "privileged interlocutor" but no longer considered interim president, European Union states said in a statement on Monday, sticking by their decision to downgrade his status. The EU's 27 states had said on Jan. 6 they could no longer legally recognise Guaido as after he lost his position as head of parliament following legislative elections in Venezuela in December, despite the EU not recognising that vote. Following the disputed re-election of President Nicolas Maduro in 2018, Guaido, as head of parliament, became interim president.

Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador said on Sunday he had tested positive for COVID-19 during the country's deadliest week yet in the pandemic. "As always, I am optimistic," said Lopez Obrador, who has resisted wearing a face mask in public since the virus reached Mexico over 10 months ago. Critics have railed incessantly against his management of the health crisis, but despite a mounting toll of nearly 150,000 dead, his popularity has risen, according a daily tracking poll by polling firm Consulta Mitofsky.

London [UK], January 25 (ANI): Chelsea FC on Monday confirmed the sacking of Frank Lampard as the head coach of the side.
Huawei may sell premium smartphone brands P and Mate. That's according to two Reuters sources. Talks are reportedly ongoing with a consortium led by Shanghai government-backed investment firms. Huawei has denied the report, saying there is no merit in it. Shanghai officials said they weren't aware of the situation. One of the sources says Huawei started exploring a possible sale as early as last September. It's apparently motivated by insufficient access to chip supplies amid U.S. sanctions. Since May 2019 Huawei has faced restrictions over allegations that it's a threat to national security. The sources say the potential divestment is a sign the firm doesn't expect relief from U.S. sanctions, even a with a new administration in Washington. Now any divestment could be a very big deal. Shipments of P and Mate phones were worth 39.7 billion dollars over the year to the third quarter of 2020. Last year Huawei sold off phone brand Honor in a deal one source valued at about 15.5 billion dollars. That seems to have helped the budget handset maker, which last week said it had deals with firms including Intel and Qualcomm over chip supplies.

Lampard, who led Chelsea to a top-four finish and the FA Cup final in his debut 2019-20 campaign in charge, did not get the best out of his squad this season despite the club spending more than 220 million pounds ($301.11 million) on new recruits. He departs less than 24 hours after Chelsea beat Luton Town 3-1 on Sunday to reach the FA Cup fifth round. "This was a very difficult decision for the Club, not least because I have an excellent personal relationship with Frank and I have the utmost respect for him," Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich said in a statement on the club's website.
