Deadly Blizzard Deemed Worst In 45 Years Paralyzes Greater...

About 100 kilometres from the Ukrainian border, Russian air defence troops shot down a Ukrainian drone early Monday as it approached a Russian airbase, with the debris killing three, news agencies reported. Apology: The Sun and Clarkson (pictured) both separately issued apologies for the column   Many snow plows, tow trucks, ambulances and other emergency vehicles dispatched on Saturday and Sunday became stuck in the snow, "and we had to send rescue missions to rescue the rescuers," he said. The avalanche followed days of heavy snow, followed by warm weather on Christmas Day, and news the mountain rescue service had rated the avalanche danger as high. The head of tourism in the Zuers and Lech am Arlberg region, Hermann Fercher, said that the avalanche occurred even though explosives had been set off in that area to reduce the risk, the dpa news agency reported. Police said they would be investigating how the accident came about. Festive sun: Amanda Byram posed in a floral bikini on Sunday with son Phoenix as she enjoyed a winter sunshine break over the Christmas period in Spain   Sir Paul also added that the line "the night we cried" referred to when he and his late pal, who was killed over 40 years ago, had a drunk heart-to-heart and 'told each other a few truths' and how much they loved each other. Trouble: It comes after The Duke and Duchess of Sussex dismissed The Sun's apology over its controversial Jeremy Clarkson column as nothing more than a 'PR stunt'   The thought it could simply be transplanted from London to Manchester is insulting to both of those great cities, the implication being, with lofty condescension, that the only way to bring culture to the North is to import it from the capital.
