Britain's armored vehicles prepare to move at the Tapa Military Camp, in Estonia, Thursday, Jan. 19, 2023. 

Ukraine says it needs heavy tanks. US Adm. James Stavridis discusses how a tank delivery would make a difference in the war with Russia. And, a Canadian agency that sets national standards for alcohol consumption is recommending Canadians dramatically reduce their alcohol intake. Also, President Emmanuel Macron wants to raise France’s retirement age by two years to 64. The government claims it’s key to financing the public pension system.
