Fishermen off Greece’s western coast thought they had spotted wreckage in the Ionian Sea.

Winter has shown its teeth across Scandinavia — and the cost has been deadly. A third person has now died in Sweden as Storm Johannes tore through the Nordic region. The storm toppled trees, cut power, and brought daily life to a halt. So how bad did it get? Bad enough that weather officials warned
Japan is on high alert again — and this time, it’s because Russian and Chinese warplanes decided to take a long flight around its backyard. So what exactly happened up there?
