The classic postcard images of the Chilean capital of Santiago surrounded by the snow-covered Andes in winter now seem like pictures from the past. A yearslong drought that has plagued the country has led to a shortage of snow so severe that the main ski resorts in the metropolitan area have had to suspend the use of up to 90% of their slopes, according to the Chilean Ski Resorts Association (ACESKI). And with climate change thought to be at least partially to blame, authorities warn that in the long term the region may need to find other ways to entice tourists to spend their money.

A manhunt is underway after two people were killed and several others were injured in a mass shooting at Canada’s largest Latin street festival in Toronto on Saturday, police said. Six victims were found with gunshot wounds and the scene became swarmed with a large law enforcement presence, the agency said. A suspect or suspects remain at large, police said. Police said they secured the scene roughly an hour after the active shooting began but continued to urge people to stay away from the area in the city’s midtown, where the Salsa on St. Clair festival celebrating Latin culture has been held annually for 22 years, according to organizers.

Four settlers were arrested after an attack on CNN and other journalists in the occupied West Bank on Saturday, according to Israeli Police. The journalists were near the village of Sinjil north of Ramallah to cover the one-year anniversary of the killing of Saif Musallet, a Palestinian-American who was beaten to death by Jewish settlers, last July. Within minutes of arriving at the location where Musallet was killed, Israeli settlers descended on the area. As the CNN team and other journalists tried to leave, a group of four settlers blocked the road with their car and tried to keep the vehicles from moving forward.
