Human remains have been found during the search for missing Belgian tourist,Celine Cremer, two years after she went missing in Australia's Tasmanian wilderness.

The Tasmanian Police (TP) confirmed in anews releaseon Wednesday, Jan. 28, that human remains were located near Philosopher Falls in Waratah by a volunteer in the search for 31-year-old Cremer, who was last seen in June 2023.

"...A pathologist has reviewed images and confirmed the remains are human," said Police Inspector Andrew Hanson. "The volunteer contacted police immediately after the discovery, and officers from the Western District, along with specialist forensic personnel, are attending the scene."

Cremer was last seen in the mining town of Waratah, which borders the Tarkine rainforest, on June 17, 2023. Forensic analysis of the remains will be conducted to determine whether they belong to Cremer, per the release.

Cremer's family in Belgium have been notified of the discovery.

"We understand how distressing this development may be for her loved ones, and while everyone involved hopes it will help to provide answers, formal forensic analysis is required before we can determine whether the remains belong to Celine," Hanson added.

Volunteer Jarrod Boys, a bushwalker, found the remains about 1.86 miles north-east of the Philosopher Falls car park on Wednesday, theAustralian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC)reported.

"The bones that I saw were just lying on top of a pile of soil and stones," he told the outlet.

Search efforts have continued for Cremer after her disappearance over two years ago.

In the police news release, Hanson added that the volunteer who located the remains "has been dedicated to searching for Celine for some time, and their continued efforts and that of other volunteer search parties reflects the strong community support behind this matter."

The discovery of human remains comes weeks after an item of Cremer's was found in the area.

Cremer's phone was discovered at Philosopher Falls on Dec. 13 — the first item of hers found since she went missing, PEOPLE previously reported.

Police believe that she drove to Philosopher Falls, parked her car and "set off on what was meant to be a short bushwalk," but failed to return, according to a previousnews release. Cremer was reported missing nine days later.

The next day, her car was located in the Philosopher Falls parking lot. A two-week search was initially conducted for Cremer, followed by several other searches over the past two years.

"In the days since Celine's disappearance, the winter weather in the area included sub zero temperatures, snow and rainfall," Hanson previously said. "Expert medical advice at the time indicated those conditions were not survivable for the duration she is believed to have been exposed."

At least five people were killed in a Russian drone strike on a civilian train in northeastern Ukraine, the country's President Volodymyr Zelensky said, describing the attack as an "act of terrorism."

Emergency workers were confronted with scenes of carnage at the site of the attack in the Kharkiv region on Tuesday, with victims' body parts strewn among the burnt wreckage, making it impossible to immediately determine the number of casualties.

Nearly 300 people were travelling on the train, which is used by Ukrainians to visit soldiers on the front lines.

"In any country, a drone strike on a civilian train would be regarded in the same way – purely as an act of terrorism," Zelensky said in a statement on Telegram, adding that "18 people were in the carriage hit by one of the Russian drones."

The Kharkiv Regional Prosecutor's Office said the remains of five people had been found, and that identification would only be possible after DNA testing.

While Russia has previously targeted Ukraine's railway infrastructure, a direct strike on a passenger train is unusual.

Ukrzaliznytsia, the national railway operator, said on Wednesday that two people were injured and one remains missing. The company said flags at all railway stations across the country would be lowered and a minute of silence observed to honour the victims.

Ukrzaliznytsia said the train was traveling from Chop and Lviv in western Ukraine to Barvinkove, on the edge of the Donetsk region. This is the closest station to the front lines, currently some 70 kilometers (43 miles) away.

Ukraine's Deputy Prime Minister Oleksii Kuleba said the drones hit the front of the train's locomotive as well as a passenger carriage.

Video provided by the Ukrainian government showed the train after the attack, with smoke and flames pouring out of the broken windows of a destroyed car.

Another video shows a young woman being rescued from the train with her tiny baby. Visibly distressed and in shock, she is heard sobbing and explaining that she was travelling to "show my son to his father."

Footage posted on social media showed passengers, including people with small children, evacuating the burning train, walking into the snow-covered woods by the side of the railroad with their bags in hand.

ROME (AP) — Italian PremierGiorgia Melonion Wednesday toured a southern town in Sicily where days of heavy rains from a cyclone triggered a massive landslide that cleaved off the town's edge, collapsing houses and forcing the evacuation of over 1,500 people.

The area of the landslide spanned 4 kilometers (2.5 miles) and civil protection crews created a 150-meter-wide (150-yard-wide) "no go zone." At the edge of Niscemi, some cars and structures had already tumbled 20 meters (yards) off the cliff while other homes remained perched perilously on the edge of the continuously shifting ground.

Authorities warned that residents with homes in the area, facing the city of Gela on Sicily's southwestern coast, will have to find long-term alternatives to moving back since the water-soaked ground was too unstable.

"The entire hill is collapsing onto the plain of Gela," civil protection chief Fabio Ciciliano said. "To be honest, there are houses located on the edge of the landslide that obviously can no longer be inhabited, so we need to work with the mayor to find a permanent relocation for these families."

The federal government included Niscemi in a state of emergency declaration on Monday for several southern regions and set aside an initial 100 million euros ($120 million), though Sicilian regional officials estimated on Wednesday the overall damage at 2 billion euros ($2.4 billion).

Meloni took a helicopter tour of the landslide area and met with local and regional officials at the town hall but didn't immediately comment.

Located just inland from Gela, Niscemi is no stranger to landslides. The town was built on layers of sand and clay that become particularly permeable in heavy rain and have shifted before, most recently in a major 1997 landslide that forced the evacuation of 400 people, geologists say.

"Today, the situation is repeating itself with even more significant characteristics: the landslide front extends for about 4 kilometers and directly affects the houses facing the slope," warned Giovanna Pappalardo, professor of applied geology at the island's University of Catania.

The latest landslide, which began on Sunday with Cyclone Harry battering southern Italy, has revived political mud-slinging about why construction was allowed on land which, because of its geological makeup, has a high risk of landslides.

The center-right regional president of Sicily, Renato Schifani, acknowledged such questions were legitimate. But he noted he had only been in office for a few years and said the main issue was an institutional response to help residents immediately affected.

The opposition center-left Democratic Party leader, Elly Schlein, meanwhile, proposed Meloni's government reallocate 1 billion euros approved for its controversial bridge from Sicily to the Italian mainland and direct it toward storm-hit regions, since the bridge project is currentlytied up in court challenges.

The PGA Tour's West Coast swing continues this weekend with the Farmers Insurance Open.

Torrey Pines will host the tournament as it has every year since the 1960s, when it was originally known as the San Diego Open. In addition to iconic views of the Pacifc Ocean off the coastal cliffs, Torrey Pines has hosted some of the most memorable events in PGA Tour history, such as Tiger Woods' 2008 U.S. Open win.

Here's what to know about Torrey Pines, including its location, history and the price to play a round:

Farmers Insurance Open location: Where is Torrey Pines?

Torrey Pines Golf Courseis located in La Jolla, California, a neighborhood 12 miles north of downtown San Diego. And while municipal courses are more common on the PGA Tour than one might think,the Torrey Pines websiteprides itself as "the premier municipal golf course owned and operated by a city."

Sitting on the coastal cliffs with a scenic view of the Pacific Ocean, Torrey Pines takes its name from the species of tree native to the local coastline along San Diego and Santa Rosa Island.

How many courses are at Torrey Pines?

Torrey Pines has two 18-hole courses, north and south, that are both used annually to host the Farmers Insurance Open. Players split the first 36 holes between both courses before playing the final 36 on the south course.

The south course also has hosted the U.S. Open twice: in 2008, when an injured Tiger Woods outlasted Rocco Mediate in a sudden death playoff after 90 holes. And in 2021, Jon Rahm birdied the final two holes to win by one stroke.

Torrey Pines hosted the Genesis Invitational in 2025 after the tournament's usual host, the Riviera Golf Club, was damaged in the Pacific Palisades fire.

How much does it cost to play at Torrey Pines?

Torrey Pines calls itself "surely the most accessible public facility for the die-hard enthusiast wishing to play at a world-renown facility that nearly all golfers know by name." And while that exact claim is open for debate, playing a round at the course is certainly a bargain.

The north course is the more affordable option with weekday tee times starting at $163, or $51 for San Diego residents. Weekends and holidays at the north course creep up to $203 ($68 for locals).

Tee times for the south course, which overlooks the ocean, are a bit more expensive and start at $258 ($73 for residents) on weekdays and $322 on weekends ($90 for residents). All prices are according to the city ofSan Diego's booking siteand does not include the $32 advance reservation fee or any rental fees or equipment or golf carts.

Team USA figure skater Amber Glenn is reflecting on how former Olympian Sarah Hughes has influenced her

NEED TO KNOW

• The Texas native says watching Hughes was her "first Olympic memory."

• Glenn, 26, will compete in the women's singles competition at the Winter Olympics next month

Amber Glennremembers exactly where she was when she first watched her Olympic heroSarah Hughescompete in the2002 Winter Olympics.

The 16-year-old Hughes, now 40, didn't just pull off a major upset at the Salt Lake City Games that year, but she unknowingly inspired Team USA's next shot at gold come February at the2026 Winter Olympics.

"I remember watching Sarah Hughes in the 2002 Olympics quite a few years after it happened on DVD on my little Cinderella TV and just the exhilaration and excitement," Glenn, 26, tells PEOPLE while reflecting on what sparked her Olympic dreams as a child.

A young Glenn would watch the performance again and again: Hughes dazzled on the DVD, nailing a double axel on her first jump before building up to an unprecedented triple toe loop-triple loop and triple salchow-triple loop combination. The iconic performance was enough to outshine Team USA teammatesMichelle KwanandSasha Cohen, and upset Russian skater Irina Slutskaya, the favorite coming into that year's competition.

"That was my first Olympic memory," Glenn smiles now, thinking back to Hughes' gold medal-winning program.

Soon enough, Glenn was on the ice herself dazzling anyone who'd watch. "I wanted to skate as fast as I could," Glenn says, remembering how her mom always made sure she was wearing elbow pads, knee pads and a helmet. "I wanted to try all the hard things that I saw the older girls trying. And I did, hence the helmet."

Glenn reflects: "And I never stopped. I just kept going."

By the time she was 14, the Plano, Texas native was the U.S. junior women's champion. After winning gold, the teenager received an unexpected call from Hughes, who offered her congratulations and support.

"She really inspired me," Glenn says. "[That call] was such a cool meeting-your-heroes moment. And I'm so grateful to her."

In the following years, Glenn took time off to focus on her mental health before she returned to the podium at the 2019 U.S. Classic event after beginning neurotherapy.

"I've always had the physical capabilities, but the mental side has been a struggle for me," Glenn says, adding that coming out as pansexual around that time helped turn her belief into success.

A refreshed Glenn earned podium finishes at the national championships in 2021 and again in 2023, but then hit her stride the next three seasons, becoming the first woman since Kwan to win back-to-back-to-back U.S. Figure Skating championships in 2024, 2025, and earlier this month at the 2026 competition.

"It's been a weight off my shoulders," Glenn says about coming out. "I know regardless of whatever results of whatever I do on the ice, that I'm able to speak about my journey and my process truthfully and inspire others to do the same, and not feel as alone in who they are. And that's one of the things that has kept me in this sport for so many years."

After many of her victories, Glenn says she still hears from Hughes.

"I'll even get texts of congratulations sometimes and I fangirl a little bit every time," the 5-foot-5 Texan smiles, hoping she'll hear from her childhood hero once more after next month's 2026 Winter Olympics in Italy.

Glenn was named tothe U.S. figure skating squadearlier this month after finishing first once again at the U.S. Figure Skating Championships, as many expect her to take a serious run at her first Olympic gold.

But it hasn't been an easy journey for Glenn, who says instead "it's been a long, very difficult road" to get to the 2026 Winter Olympics. But for the first time in her career, Glenn feels ready for the world stage – a spotlight she's imagined since she was a young child sitting in front of her Cinderella TV watching Hughes pull off the unexpected.

"I'd say this is really the first time that I truly believed that I could make an Olympic team and that I had put in the work that I really deserved it, because I have been putting in the work every single day for the last four years," Glenn says. "And I really, really think that it's something I can do. And I'm allowing myself to have that dream now."
