Authorities in Brazil arrested five people in the investigation into the deadly dam collapse in at an iron ore mine.  Three of those arrested are officials from the mine's owner Vale, and the other two are engineers working for a subsidiary company in Sao Paulo.  All five can be detained for 30 days while they are questioned by investigators.  Vale SA, the world's largest producer of iron ore and nickel, says it is cooperating with prosecutors.  Last Friday's dam collapse killed at least 65 people and left nearly 300 missing; the toxic sludge from the tailings dam has polluted a river a local indigenous community depends on for food and water.

The UK Parliament rejected a measure that would have instructed Prime Minister Theresa May to delay the UK's departure from the European Union past the scheduled date in case no agreement on an orderly Brexit is reached.  Ms. May argued against, claiming it usurped her executive authority.  But while she survived yet another challenge, she still has no agreement with other EU leaders on trade and political ties when the UK leaves the EU, now looking more and more likely to be a crash out.  She is vowing to return to EU leaders to seek changed to the 585-page negotiated deal that they've already vowed not to give her. 

Ireland will hold a public referendum on easing the country's Roman Catholic Church-inspired restrictions on divorce.  An overall ban on divorce was stricken from the Constitution 24 years ago by referendum, but since then couple were forced to live apart for five years before a divorce was granted.  The referendum, which will be on the ballot during local and EU elections this May, will ask voters if they want to shorten the separation period or scrap it altogether.  Irish voters have overwhelmingly approved Marriage Equality and Women's Reproductive Rights by referendum recently.

Belgian authorities have asked for DNA samples of children adopted from the DR Congo to establish if their biological parents are still alive.  Prosecutors suspect some families in the African nation were tricked into sending their children to a now-closed orphanage, unaware they were being put up for international adoption.  If such stories are verified, the children will not necessarily be repatriated:  "There are only losers in this story and the judge will have to determine where the best interests of the kids lie," said Flemish MP Lorin Parys.
