    Deadly floods sweep Albania and Montenegro as rivers burst banks

    In southern Albania, the Vjosa River burst its banks near Novosela, in the Vlorë region, prompting evacuation orders. Rescue teams used inflatable boats to reach residents trapped by rising water, including two elderly people whose home was flooded to a depth of around 1.5 metres.

    At least one person has died in Albania. A 54-year-old man was found dead in an irrigation canal in Durrës after being swept away by floodwaters. Emergency services were working to clear water from around 800 buildings, while some 300 people had been given temporary shelter.

    In neighbouring Montenegro, the Zeta River flooded residential areas in Danilovgrad, affecting around 30 homes and several nearby villages.

    Near Podgorica, soldiers and engineers built a temporary pontoon bridge to replace a crossing destroyed by a torrent. Excavators also cleared drainage channels as emergency crews worked to restore transport links.

    The floods followed days of severe winter weather across the Balkans. Parts of Albania recorded more than 100 millimetres of rain in 24 hours, while authorities warned that further snowfall and icy conditions could bring more disruption.

    Floods, power outages and hundreds evacuated as Cyclone Vaianu lashes New Zealand’s North Island

    Cyclone crossed coast near Maketu peninsula, packing destructive winds exceeding 130km/h (80 mph), heavy rain and large swells

    Cyclone Vaianu made landfall in New Zealand’s North Island on Sunday, triggering floods, power outages and forcing hundreds to evacuate.

    The cyclone crossed the coast near the Maketu peninsula, packing destructive winds exceeding 130km/h (80 mph), heavy rain and large swells, national weather provider MetService said, describing Vaianu as a “life-threatening” system.

    Authorities have placed several regions under emergency declarations and issued “red” level wind warnings, which are reserved for only the most extreme weather events.

    The cyclone was tracking towards the fringes of the North Island, sparing Auckland, the country’s most populous city, from the worst conditions, said emergency management minister Mark Mitchell. But stronger winds and swells were still expected after its afternoon landfall.

    Christopher Luxon hits back at Wairoa mayor Craig Little over woke comment

    Christopher Luxon says he's happy to be labelled woke if it means New Zealanders are not losing their lives in the recent cyclone.

    The Prime Minister held a briefing with reporters in Auckland on Monday afternoon, after Cyclone Vaianu's course shifted away from Hawke's Bay late on Sunday.

    Hawke's Bay Regional Council, Napier, Hastings, and Central Hawke's Bay councils declared local states of emergency for coastal areas before midday on Saturday, but Wairoa mayor Craig Little refused – saying "we're becoming woke as a country when it comes to states of emergency".

    "No, they're not. I love Craig, I've spent a lot of time with him given he's had some major weather events in Wairoa over the last few years, and so I'll happily wear a woke label this time if it means we didn't lose anyone's lives," he said.
