A senior UN officials is describing "horrifying" conditions in the Syrian town of Madaya, where a food convoy just made its first delivery to the rebel-held village since October.  As many as 400 people are suffering the effects of severe malnutrition, and several deaths have been reported.  UN refugee agency representative Sajjad Malik spoke of people who gathered around the delivery trucks as very frail, very weak, malnourished, and shivering.  There is no power in Madaya, and therefore no lights or heat.  Syrian troops surround the town, refusing passage to anything going in or out.  Rebel forces are doing the same thing to two government-held villages in the north.

Venezuela's National Assembly tried to defy the Supreme Court, but failed to reach a quorum.  Speaker Henry Ramos Allup of the conservative majority scheduled another attempt for Wednesday.  The Supreme Court ruled that assembly is void because it went ahead and swore in three conservatives whose elections are being contested.  The government says the lack of a quorum shows the conservatives are divided:  "The opposition bloc is made up of many factions and they are facing a dilemma," said Socialist Party MP and Venezuela's First Lady Cilia Flores, saying that only some of teh conservatives want to obey the law.  "The logical, sane and democratic step is for the National Assembly's leadership to revoke the swearing-in of these lawmakers," said the Socialist Party deputy leader and former National Assembly President Diosdado Cabello.

Next month's Brit Awards at London's O2 Arena will pay tribute to the "extraordinary life and work" of the "visionary and ground-breaking" artist David Bowie, whose death from cancer was announced late Monday.  "David Bowie was one of the most important and influential songwriters and performers ever and, like so many fans around the world, we're devastated to hear of his loss," said Brit Awards chairman Max Lousada.  And then a memorial concert is planned in New York City's Carnegie Hall in March.  That will feature frequent Bowie producer Tony Visconti's house band, The Roots, Cyndi Lauper, and it is likely that several big names are signing on to pay tribute to David Bowie.

Although the family has not confirmed which type of cancer claimed the singer, an associate may have revealed it to a Dutch broadcaster.  "He told me more than a year and three months ago just after he had heard himself," said Ivo van Hove, "He said it was liver cancer."  Mr. Van Hove directed Bowie's current off-Broadway play "Lazarus".
