In Dubai, United Arab Emirates, a place
where police have previously shown off
patrol cars made by Ferrari and
Lamborghini. There's a new law
enforcement officer in town, one that
might attract as many selfies as it does
deter wouldbe criminals. Might. The
nation's first patrol robot is said to
be fully automated. It has AI technology
and face recognition capability that
might raise privacy concerns in other
places, but it's part of the Emirates
expansion into automating its emergency
services. This robot is probably not
designed to run people down and make
arrests. But the one that's assisting
firefighters is reportedly equipped to
tackle threatening and dangerous jobs.
Withstanding heat, withstanding burning
chemicals, navigating tight spaces that
might be obstacles to firefighters in
full gear. Plus, it can spray more than
600 gallons of water per minute. That's
the amount of fire hoses used to combat
large industrial fires. Reuters News
reports that this thing has been used in
actual fires since the start of the
year. And Dubai's government has
indicated that this is just the
beginning of robots roles in public services.
delivering Monday's edition of your
nonpartisan source for news and world
events. I'm Carl Isus and this is the
world from A to Z. It's great to be
starting a new week with you. One big
story we're following involves a major
change to a major part of US President
Donald Trump's trade policy. Shortly
after he took office, he enacted
additional tariffs, taxes on imported
products and materials from dozens of
other countries. The Trump
administration says these tariffs helped
secure better trade deals for America,
brought in tens of billions in revenue
for the federal government, and
increased investments in manufacturing
inside the US. Critics say they weren't
necessary and that they strained
relationships with other countries,
increased cost for importers, and caused
prices to rise. On Friday, the Supreme
Court ruled that the White House didn't
have the authority to put the additional
tariffs in place, that it would have
needed more involvement from Congress.
President Trump criticized the ruling,
and over the weekend, he used a
different kind of power to put a tariff
of 15% on all imports. For several
countries, that's a lot lower than what
it was before the Supreme Court ruling.
There are some big questions going
forward. Will the government have to
refund the additional tariffs collected
before the ruling? What happens to the
international trade deals made before
the ruling? And will any of this have a
significant impact on consumer prices?
Experts say there's uncertainty about
all of it.

World of knowledge. What was the first
US location to host the Winter Olympics?
St. Louis, Missouri. Lake Placid, New
York. Los Angeles, California. Salt Lake
ALL OF THESE PLACES HAVE HOSTED the
Olympics before, but the first one to
hold the winter games was the village of
Lake Placid, New York.
Lake Placid hosted the games in 1932 and
again in 1980 when the so-called Miracle
on Ice took place. That's when the US
men's hockey team shocked the dominant
Soviet Union 4 to3. The game played
during the Cold War was one of the
biggest upsets in sports history. The
Americans went on to win the gold medal,
but they didn't repeat that feat until
Sunday when Jack Hughes scored the
game-winning goal in overtime to lift
Team USA over Canada 2 to1. That win
came exactly 46 years after the US beat
the Soviets and three days after Megan
Keller scored the game-winning goal in
overtime to lift the US women's team 2
to1 over Canada. The US won 12 golds and
33 medals overall in this year's winter
games, bested only by Norway in both
categories. The Olympics ended with the
closing ceremonies on Sunday and the
Milano Cortina Parolympics run from
on this date in world history. In the
1830s, Texans had been fighting for
independence from Mexico, and some early
battles forced Mexican troops to
retreat. But on this day in 1836,
Mexican forces under General Santa Anna
attacked and laid siege to the Alamo
mission compound, killing nearly all of
the Texan volunteers guarding the
fortress. Remember, the Alamo became a
rallying cry for Texans. And under
General Sam Houston, they later defeated
and captured Santa Ana, and Texas became
an independent republic. In 1945, one of
the most iconic images of World War II
was taken. Marines planting the US flag
on the highest peak of Eujima. A few
days earlier, they'd stormed the tiny
island south of Japan, and a fierce
battle began, causing tens of thousands
of casualties on both sides. The US
declared victory a month later, and the
men who shot the photo went on to win a

This is Colombia, a nation of more than

These ladies know how to take a break
and have some fun.
Since 2011, the town of Hinisano,
Colombia, has organized a festival to
bring together the region's rural
communities and strengthen the Boyaka
culture. Colombia is made up of 32
departments. Boya is one of them.
Similar to how the US is divided into 50
states. Nestled in the Andes mountain
range, the Boyaka economy relies largely
on agriculture, growing crops like
grains, coffee, tobacco, bananas, and
other fruits. This soccer tournament is
part of the wider boots, ponchos, and
sombrero sports and cultural festival.
And these games are shining a spotlight
and celebrating the women in these rural regions.

We represent our farmers, our farming
women, hardworking women in the
countryside who work every day for a
better future for themselves and their
children. And the community is happy to
let these ladies shine and cheer them on

uniforms are different from your typical
soccer kit because festival participants
have to wear boots, a poncho, and a sombrero.

But you'll recognize all the elements of
the beautiful game we know and love.
Warm-ups, team cheers, kickoffs, a
breakaway dribble, free kicks, throwins,
maniacs, tornadoes, and boiler makers.
Oh my. These are the mascots of today's
schools, beginning with Orahino Junior
Senior High School in Orohino, Idaho.
Mrs. Block's class is there, and I don't
think I've ever announced maniacs as a

If you've long wondered who'd win a
staring contest between an ostrich and a
giraffe, and who hasn't, you're welcome.
This is not a still photo. It's video of
two long- necked neighbors at the
Memphis Zoo locking eyes and staying
that way. What made them do it? What
made them keep staring for so long, and
what they were thinking are lost to
mystery. But it does appear the giraffe
finally flinched first, turning its head
to the side. A lot of folks stared this
down on social media. It got more than
44,000 likes. The bird was like, "Maybe
you're not so giraffable." Well, the
mammal thought, "You think you'll win?
That's ostrich. Just stick your neck out
and put your pupils where your beak is,
cuz I don't need to crane my neck or
keep an eye out for a worthy opponent. I
ain't chewing the cud when I say I leave
everybody stareyed in a neckand-neck
contest when I fix my retinwome."
Hey, is that aacia? And the ostrich was
like, "Yeah, who's the bird brain now?"
I'm Carl Isus, probably thinking too
much about this, but happy even for the
glazed stairs. I get on the world from A
