Chapel Hill was buzzing just a bit too early Saturday night.

The 14th-ranked Tar Heels hit a 3-pointer in the closing seconds that everyone thought was a walk-off buzzer-beater over No. 4 Duke.

In their defense, the horn sounded, and the clock showed zeroes, so legions of Tar Heel blue stormed the court. Seth Trimble even did Stephen Curry’s “go to sleep” celebration after hitting nothing but net.

However, officials reviewed the replay and decided to put 0.4 seconds back on the clock.

Hundreds of fans then had to clear the court, which had to be wiped down after food and drinks spilled everywhere.

Thankfully for them, the original court storm was not a jinx. Duke couldn’t handle the inbound pass, sealing a 71-68 victory for North Carolina.

It was UNC’s largest comeback win over Duke since 2001 after trailing by 13 points. The Tar Heels went on a 9-0 run over the final 2:25 and did not lead at any point until the final score.

House of Pain’s classic “Jump Around” then played over the loudspeaker after the second court storm, and the place continued to go berserk.

For what it’s worth, UNC will be fined at least $50,000 for breaking ACC court-storming rules. The $50,000 fine is for a first offense, and that amount doubles after a school’s second. Technically, fans stormed the court twice.

It was UNC’s first win over Duke since March 9, 2024, after Duke swept all three games last year, including the ACC tournament. The loss was just the second of Duke’s season, while UNC improved to 19-4.

Now Epstein wanted to talk to Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov. On June 24, 2018, Epstein emailed Norwegian leader Thorbjorn Jagland and wrote that you can tell Putin that Lavrov can talk to me, because earlier this work used to be done by Vitaly Churkin, but now he is dead. Jagland responded that he would meet with Lavrov’s assistant the following Monday and make this suggestion.

Epstein responded, ‘Churkin was very good. After our conversation he understood Trump. There is no complication in this. They should see that they have achieved something, that’s all.

What’s in the new documents released?
It was previously revealed that Epstein was interested in finding models from Russia and other parts of Eastern Europe. Now recently released documents show that he tried several times to meet or talk to senior Russian officials, including Putin. Newly released documents have generated new speculation over his intentions. These new documents show Epstein’s conversations with international leaders and Russian officials.

What did Poland’s Prime Minister Tusk say?
Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk told a cabinet meeting this week that his country would investigate Epstein’s possible ties to Russian intelligence agencies. “More leads, more information and more commentary in the global media add to the suspicion that this unprecedented child sexual abuse scandal was carried out with the cooperation of Russian intelligence services,” Tusk said.

Tusk said, I do not need to tell you how serious the possible participation in this operation by Russian intelligence agencies could be for the security of Poland. This only means that they may have sensitive information against many leaders active even today.

What did the Kremlin say?
The Kremlin rejected claims that Epstein was a spy for Russia. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said speculation that Epstein was under the control of Russia’s intelligence agencies could be taken either way. But it should not be taken seriously. Peskov also said that journalists should not waste their time investigating allegations of Epstein’s ties to Russian intelligence agencies.

US TV news host Savannah Guthrie has told the potential kidnappers of her 84-year-old mother that her family “will pay” for her safe return.

Nancy Guthrie was last seen at her own home near Tucson, Arizona, on the evening of 31 January, and was reported missing the next day after she did not turn up at church.

Law enforcement officials have concluded that she was kidnapped, but the Pima County Sheriff’s Department said it has not identified any suspects or people of interest in the case.

On Saturday, a week after her mother’s disappearance, the NBC News Today co-anchor posted a video on Instagram where she urged those believed to be holding Ms Guthrie to return her.

“We received your message and we understand,” she said, joined by her siblings Cameron and Annie. “We beg you now to return our mother to us, so that we can celebrate with her.”

“This is the only way we will have peace,” she added. “This is very valuable to us, and we will pay.”

Savannah Guthrie was referring to a message sent to the Tucson-based television station KOLD on Friday, according to Kevin Smith, a spokesperson for the FBI office in Phoenix.

KOLD said it received an email related to the Guthrie case on social media that day but declined to share details about its contents as the FBI conducted its review.

The station was one of several news outlets, including Sky’s US partner network NBC News, that received alleged ransom letters during the week.

NBC News confirmed it had reviewed a copy of the note, however, no law enforcement agency has so far substantiated it.

Sky’s US correspondent Martha Kelner said that “this is obviously a huge mystery still”, noting that there are “no suspects and no persons of interest in this case”.

While it’s still unclear who the sender is, she added it appears they “used the same secure server to hide their IP address” and that the new note “the senders believe will indicate to investigators that they are the same person or people that sent the original note”.

It comes after it emerged that police investigating Ms Guthrie’s disappearance were searching for a vehicle or vehicles that may be connected to her case.

A spokesperson for the convenience store chain Circle K told NBC News on Friday that officers visited one of their stores after “receiving a tip regarding a vehicle of interest, and our team has provided them access to the store’s surveillance video”.

Sky News has contacted the Pima County Sheriff’s Department for comment.

More than 5,000 invasive green iguanas in Florida were removed during the state’s two-day exemption that allowed residents and visitors to capture the cold-stunned reptiles without a permit, according to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC).

The state wildlife agency announced this week that 5,195 cold-stunned iguanas were collected and brought to four designated FWC offices on Feb. 1 and Feb. 2 during South Florida’s period of record-setting cold temperatures.

“The removal of over 5,000 of these nonnative lizards in such a short time span was only possible thanks to the coordinated efforts of many staff members in multiple FWC divisions and offices, our partners and, of course, the many residents that took the time to collect and turn in cold-stunned iguanas from their properties,” Roger Young, FWC’s executive director said at a Feb. 4 meeting in Tallahassee.

Special regulations under an executive order allowed people to remove live, cold-stunned iguanas from the wild without a permit for two days only, the FWC said in a news release.

Of the 5,195 iguanas collected, 3,882 of them were amassed at the FWC’s office in Sunrise, about 13 miles west of Fort Lauderdale, the FWC said.

Another 1,075 were collected at the FWC’s location in Tequesta, some 24 miles north of West Palm Beach.

There were 215 iguanas collected at the drop-off location in the Florida Keys and 23 nabbed in Fort Myers on the Gulf Coast.

FWC staff worked to coordinate the transfer of iguanas collected to permit holders, including for sale outside the state. Any of the reptiles that couldn’t be transferred to permit holders were humanely killed by trained staff, according to the FWC.

Green iguanas are a prohibited species in the Sunshine State because of their “negative impacts on Florida’s environment and economy,” Young said.

Because they’re an invasive species in Florida, iguanas can be humanely killed on a person’s property and are not protected except by the state’s anti-cruelty laws.

“If you encounter a cold-stunned green iguana, you should never bring it into your home or building to warm up,” according to the FWC’s news release.

When temperatures dip, iguanas lose the ability to move their muscles. 

“Iguanas can recover from cold-stunning more quickly than you may expect — and, once recovered, can act defensively, with long tails that whip and sharp teeth and claws.”

Low temperatures in Miami reached 35 degrees on Feb. 1, while lows in West Palm Beach hit 30 degrees — breaking records for that date, set in 1909, according to National Weather Service data.

Green iguanas were first reported in South Florida in the 1960s, according to the FWC.

When temperatures dip, they lose the ability to move their muscles and have been known to fall from trees, appearing dead. But they’re very much alive and in a state of paralysis, or torpor.

Many Floridians took advantage of the region’s rare winter freeze to round up the pesky reptiles that can damage people’s properties and “leave droppings on docks, moored boats, seawalls, porches, decks, pool platforms and inside swimming pools.”

“In cleared habitats such as canal banks and vacant lots, green iguanas reside in burrows, culverts, drainage pipes and rock or debris piles,” according to the FWC.

“South Florida’s extensive man-made canals serve as ideal dispersal corridors to further allow iguanas to colonize new areas.”

The FWC is no longer accepting live iguanas from the public, the organization said. 

Traffic was stopped, but not for construction.

Police in Commerce City, Colorado, say they were just as surprised as motorists this week after a fire-juggling unicyclist turned a busy intersection into an impromptu street performance — a moment the department joked was “certainly not on our Bingo card.”

The Commerce City Police Department shared drone footage and photos of the unusual scene after receiving multiple calls from drivers who encountered the man juggling flaming torches while riding a unicycle in traffic near U.S. 85 and 60th Avenue.

“This post was certainly not on our Bingo card, yet here we are,” the department wrote in a social media post. “The intersection of U.S.-85 and 60th isn’t exactly the Las Vegas Strip… or is it?”

According to police, the performer rode through the median and crosswalk while traffic waited at the light, drawing both attention and concern from motorists.

“We got numerous calls the other day when drivers were treated to a little stoplight entertainment courtesy of this fire-juggling unicyclist,” police said.

Officers captured the scene using a drone, which showed the man balancing on the unicycle as flames flickered just feet from passing vehicles. While acknowledging the skill involved, saying it was “quite good,” police made clear the stunt crossed a legal line.

“Our drone caught his act, which was both quite good and quite illegal,” the department wrote, citing trespassing in the median and impeding traffic by failing to clear the crosswalk in time.

Police said they regularly conduct enforcement efforts at the intersection to ensure pedestrians selling wares or services are not interfering with traffic, noting that reports like this are rare.

“We don’t often get reports like this anymore… well to be fair… we have NEVER gotten a report quite like this one,” the post said.

The department ended its message on a lighthearted note, while still reminding the public that juggling fire in traffic is not encouraged.

“So let’s all take a moment to appreciate this man’s talents,” police wrote, before adding: “Then all agree that we aren’t going to do stuff like this. Mmkay?”
