Order of ten things that happened this weekend, from most important to least important.

1---Kardashian robbery: 15 arrested

At least 15 people have been arrested by French police over the robbery at gunpoint of reality TV star Kim Kardashian three months ago in Paris. The 36-year-old was tied up in the apartment where she was staying during Paris Fashion Week by masked men who stole £8m of jewellery. No further details about the arrests have been released.

2---Blizzards and cold continue across Europe

Eight deaths in Italy have been blamed on the freeze which is affecting much of continental Europe with blizzards and dangerously cold conditions. One man died in an unused basement in Milan and another was found dead on a street in Florence. It is thought most of Britain will be colder and could see snow towards the end of this week.

3---Tube strike bring chaos to central London

Commuters in London are facing 24 hours of chaos, with staff on strike because of a long-running dispute over ticket office closures. All Zone One stations are closed but there are limited services running further out, eg Northern Line trains are running between High Barnet and Finchley Central. Air and rail strikes are set for later this week.

4---May to fight mental health stigma

Theresa May will unveil a package of social reforms in a speech in London this morning, aimed at developing her vision of a "shared society". She is to announce plans to "transform" the way mental health is dealt with "not in our hospitals but in our classrooms, at work and in our communities", targeting the stigma with which it is associated.

5---Israeli diplomat 'set up secret groups'

Shai Masot, the Israeli diplomat who was filmed by Al Jazeera talking to a British civil servant about "taking down" MPs hostile to Israel, was also recorded saying he set up several political groups in the UK, at least one intended to influence Labour policy, which conceal their links to Israel. He does not identify the groups in the film.

6---La La Land wins seven Golden Globes

Hollywood musical La La Land has broken the record for the most awards won by a single film at the Golden Globes, taking all seven categories in which it was nominated, including best comedy film, best director, best screenplay and best score. Its stars Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone won best actor and best actress for their performances.

7---Blind children 'abused by headmistress'

A group of blind and vulnerable adults say they were physically and emotionally abused by their special primary school's headmistress in the 1950s. There is no suggestion the abuse was sexual. Six former pupils of the Royal School for the Blind in Wavetrees, Liverpool, say Margaret McLenan beat and shamed them. She has since died.

8---Johnson still in US after Trump talks

The Foreign Secretary, Boris Johnson, is in Washington DC today meeting US congressional leaders. Yesterday, he became the first British minister to have talks with president-elect Donald Trump's team when he met the property developer's son-in-law, Jared Kushner, and his chief strategist, the talk radio proprietor Steve Bannon.

9---Briefing: Gigantic iceberg poised to break away from Antarctica

An iceberg the size of Norfolk is poised to break away from a vast ice shelf in the north-west area of Antarctica. Only a threadlike sliver 12 miles wide is keeping the 1,900sq-mile chunk attached to the Larsen C ice shelf in the Weddell Sea. Professor Adrian Luckman of Swansea University told the BBC: "If it doesn't go in the next few months, I'll be amazed."

10---Tea and presents cost office workers £14,000

The expenses of working in an office total £14,000 for the average employee, in a 40-year working life, according to a survey by Nationwide. The costs include teas and coffees, cards and presents for colleagues leaving work, sponsoring charity feats, and secret Santa gifts. If nights out and work clothes are included, the tally rises to £40,000.
