The death toll in Fiji from Tropical Cyclone Winston has reached at least 42, as rescue and aid workers reach what once were villages on the outer islands.  Fiji's government and the Red Cross fear that will rise as more information comes in.  Officials said relief teams were met with "grim images of devastation" upon reaching Koro island.  But communications between some of the smaller and more remote islands are still down.

A small plane carrying 21 people has gone missing in the Himalayas in western Nepal.  The Twin Otter aircraft, operated by Tara Air, was carrying 18 passengers and a crew of three when it lost contact with the control tower.  "Two helicopters are on a search-and-rescue mission," said Nepalese aviation official Yogendra Kunwar, "There is no trace of the aircraft so far."

The police chief of Cologne, Germany says most of the men who sexually assaulted women outside his city's train station on New Year's Eve will never be caught.  "The CCTV footage is not good enough to clearly identify sexual assaults.  We can see some thefts but that's all.  We are relying on witness accounts and victims identifying their attackers," Chief Juergen Mathies said in an interview with the BBC.  As many as 200 complaints of sexual assault were made, but cops so far have only been able to identify 75 suspects - some of them appearing to be from among the hundreds of thousands of asylum seekers who've entered Europe in the last year.

Amnesty International is criticizing the ultra-nationalist government of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi for its crackdowns on dissent through arbitrary arrests, caste-based discrimination, extrajudicial killings and attacks on freedom of expression.  Instead of calming tensions, politicians are delivering inflammatory speeches, contributing to a climate of deadly violence that pits majority Hindus against atheists, Muslims and other minorities.  Earlier this week, both the New York Times and Le Monde newspapers ran editorials lambasting Modi's government.
