How a psychic made Meghan Trainor quit coffee

It's not every day that a psychic warns you about yourcoffee intake, andMeghan Trainercan speak to that.

In an interview withPeople magazine, which was published Nov. 29, the pop star revealed she decided to quit coffee after her husbandDaryl Sabaravisited a psychic. "The psychic never met me," Trainer told the outlet. "My husband was gifted a session with her and she said, 'Your wife is using coffee like speed. She's non-stop and it's not helping her and she's just crashing out.'"

"I was like, 'How does she know that?' And he came home and told me, and I immediately stopped," she said. "Cold turkey just stopped because I was drinking it all day to just survive and be steady and then I would crash and be buzzing at night to sleep."

More than that, the singer said she realized her "adrenals were shot" and that her hormone levels were off balance, which caused her not to feel her best. "I wasn't feeling great. And I was like, 'I don't understand. I eat so healthy, I work out. Why do I feel like this?' And I realized I was overworking myself," she said.

Quitting coffee cold turkey wasn't easy, but it was life-changing, the "Made You Look" singer said.

Trainor spoke to People magazine about her upcoming Get in Girl Tour, which kicks off in June 2026, and her new single "Still Don't Care." Trainor also reflected on balancing motherhood with her two sons, Riley and Barry.

"No sleep, power through and thrive," is how Trainor said she navigates tour life. "I will do the show. We get up at 7 a.m. … and then we go find an amusement park or a museum … then we eat lunch together, I do a soundcheck, we have early dinner so that I don't burp on stage," Trainor quipped.

Heavy rainfall has unleashed widespread flooding and landslides across Asia, killing more than 1,000 people and creating treacherous search and rescue operations for hundreds more still missing.

Millions of people are dealing with intense flooding after cyclone-fueled downpours battered parts of Indonesia, Thailand and Malaysia.

Sri Lanka was struck by a separate storm, leaving some areas submerged and creating the most difficult rescue operation the country's ever seen, according to President Anura Kumara Dissanayake.

"This is the first time the entire country has been struck by such a disaster," he said in an address to the nation, Reuters reported, suggesting the breadth of devastation has surpassed that caused by the Asian tsunami in 2004.

Across Asia, the severe weather has so far claimed the lives of at least 604 people in Indonesia, 355 in Sri Lanka, 176 in Thailand and two in Malaysia, according to officials – taking the total to 1,135.

In Indonesia

Indonesian rescue teams are struggling to reach the hardest-hit areas of Sumatra, where Cyclone Senyar caused catastrophic landslides and flooding.

President Prabowo Subianto visited evacuees in the north of the island on Monday, noting challenges with fuel supply and roads, according to Antara, Indonesia's government-run news agency.

At least 604 people have died, government data on Monday showed, and more than 460 are still missing. Military and police have been deployed to help victims, local media reported.

Video footage shows helicopters delivering supplies to Sumatra, renowned for its lush rainforests, active volcanoes and a critically endangered orangutan population.

"During the flood, everything was gone," a resident of Bireuen, in Sumatra's northernmost province Aceh, told Reuters.

"I wanted to save my clothes, but my house came down."

Maulidin, a 41-year-old resident of North Aceh, fled her home with her family when she woke to the sound of flooding.

"My house is already destroyed, all my belongings are ruined, and mud is inside," she told AFP.

Rescuers have been trying to reach residents stranded by the floodwaters since Tuesday when monsoon rains caused rivers to overflow.

Some people have turned to stealing food and water in order to survive, according to local authorities.

"The looting happened before logistical aid arrived," police spokesperson Ferry Walintukan said, according to AP. "(Residents) didn't know that aid would come and were worried they would starve."

In Thailand

Across the strait, at least 176 people have died due to extreme weather in southern Thailand, the country's disaster agency told CNN.

Almost 2.8 million people have been affected, with authorities airlifting patients and flying critical supplies, including oxygen tanks, to submerged communities, Reuters reported.

Amphorn Kaeophengkro and her family of eight rushed to the second floor of their home when floodwaters swept in last Saturday, spending 48 hours perched atop a table, washing machine and on a window frame.

"We weren't thinking about anything else except surviving," the 44-year-old told Reuters by candlelight, as her family began to clean their dwelling after the water had receded.

"Sometimes we sat at the edge of the window and had to lift our legs to avoid keeping them too deep in the water."

Hat Yai city was Thailand's hardest-hit region, recording the type of heavy rain that occursonce-in-300-years, bringing floodwaters more than eight feet high on Tuesday and cutting off access to a maternity ward holding 30 newborn babies, staff and officials said.

The city is part of Thailand's Songkhla region, where the government declared an emergency on Tuesday due to severe flooding, an official said on X.

Wassana Suthi owns a family-run nursing home in Hat Yai. "It rained like crazy, just like it was angry at someone. It just wouldn't stop," the 35-year-old told CNN.

Suthi and her husband moved the patients to the second floor after the first floor flooded quickly, she said, adding that they had to rely on food dropped from helicopters.

"I cried a lot, seriously. I was so afraid of this crisis," Suthi said. "I was afraid that we wouldn't be able to save the patients in time. Me, personally, I don't mind what happens to me, but I was afraid of not being able to save the patients in time."

Ten tourists, from Australia, Britain, China, Malaysia, Singapore and South Africa, were rescued in Songkhla province on Friday, the Ministry of Tourism told CNN.

"The situation has improved significantly. Water levels have almost completely receded, with only some areas remaining flooded," a spokesperson said.

In Sri Lanka

More than 1.1 million people felt the wrath of Cyclone Ditwah, which triggered mud slides and flooding on Friday, Reuters said.

At least 355 people were killed and another 366 remain missing, according to Sri Lanka's Disaster Management Center.

More than 25,000 homes have been destroyed and 147,000 people have been forced into state-run temporary shelters, AP reported.

Some families have been stranded for four days, with no power or phone reception to call for help, Moses Akash De Silva, director of the Voice for the Voiceless Foundation, told CNN Monday.

The charity has so far provided 4,000 meals to families who have lost their homes near Colombo. De Silva and volunteers shopped for ingredients on boats in the floodwaters, cooking meals of fish, meat or egg with curry and rice.

When the water subsides and families return home, the foundation will provide dry rations, like rice and flour, and household items like gas cookers and mattresses to support their rebuilding efforts, De Silva said.

"There is a huge demand and many people have to start again from zero," he told CNN. "The last time we had severe floods was in 2016 and this is 10 times worse."

"It is sunny today but there is still a big risk of landslides."

Ruvinda Bernard, a travel agent who volunteers at the charity, added: "Yesterday, we got a call from three families still stuck on a roof with no way of getting down."

"The Colombo rowing club said they had one so we called the police's special taskforce to arrange a lorry to transport it to the water to rescue them."

Meanwhile, Mallika Kumari was among more than 78,000 people moved to relief centers, mostly set up in schools, after her home was quickly submerged, according to Reuters.

"I first heard about the flood warning on TV but we never expected the river to overflow so quickly. We just rushed out of the house without anything," Kumari told reporters.

"We haven't even had breakfast. Two of my sons have caught the flu. I have to get them medication. I've brought a few garbage bags to collect their clothes."

In the rush, Kumari left behind her cat, which was later picked up by a navy boat and brought to dry land.

Selvi, a 46-year-old resident of Colombo's Wennawatte suburb, fled her home with four bags of clothes and other possessions. "My house is completely flooded. I don't know where to go, but I hope there is some safe shelter where I can take my family," she told AFP.

At the Dalugala Thakiya Mosque, volunteers prepared rice parcels with chicken and dhal curry for flood victims.

"We are getting more requests for food because people who work daily jobs cannot find work and are running low on savings," meal organizer Risham Ahmed told Reuters.

"They are worried about how to piece their lives back together."

In Malaysia

In Malaysia, two people were confirmed dead after Senyar, then a tropical storm, made landfall shortly after midnight on Friday, Reuters said.

Around 34,000 people were evacuated ahead of the storm, but Gon Qasim and her husband were less fortunate, stranded in a field in northern Perlis state last weekend when rising floodwaters cut off their escape.

The elderly couple were eventually rescued by one of their children and brought to an evacuation center in the state capital of Kangar, where hundreds of families sheltered in tents provided by the national disaster management agency, Reuters reported.

"I was inside, and I couldn't go out. When I was out, there was nowhere to stay but the field," the 73-year-old Gon said told its reporters, recalling her ordeal in an interview on Wednesday.

"The water was like the ocean. That's what it looked like."

A vulnerable region

Current weather extremes in the region may stem from the interaction of two active systems, Typhoon Koto in the Philippines and a rare tropical cyclone that formed in the Malacca Strait, Cyclone Senyar, meteorologists told Reuters.

It will take time to quantify the exact role climate change may have played in these deadly storms, but scientists are clear that global heating supercharges storms, which gain fuel from warmer oceans. A warmer atmosphere is also able to hold more water, which can be wrung out in the form of more intense rain.

Southeast Asia, which includes Indonesia, Thailand and Malaysia, is one of the areasmost vulnerable to climate change, scientists have warned.

This deadly flooding is just the latest extreme weather to hit the region. Earlier in November,deadly floodsdevastated parts of Vietnam, killing dozens of people, and the Philippines endured two deadly typhoons in a week —KalmaegiandFung-wong— and forcing more than 1.4 million to evacuate.

ICC president vows to resist US and Russian pressure despite sanctions and threats

THE HAGUE, Netherlands (AP) — The president of theInternational Criminal Courtsaid during the institution's annual meeting Monday that it will not bow to pressure from the United States and Russia.

Nine staff members,including six judges and the court's chief prosecutor, have been sanctioned byU.S. President Donald Trumpfor pursuing investigations into U.S. and Israeli officials, while Moscow has issued warrants for staff in response to anarrest warrant for President Vladimir Putinover the war in Ukraine.

"We never accept any kind of pressure," Judge Tomoko Akane told delegations from the court's 125 member states.

The sanctions have taken their tollon the court's work across a broad array of investigations at a time when the institution is juggling ever more demands on its resources.

In her address last year, Akane warned that the court was being threatened by the incoming Trump administration. Three weeks after he took office for the second time, Trump signed an executive order imposing sanctions on Prosecutor Karim Khan over investigations of Israel, a close U.S. ally.

The court has issued anarrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahuand his former defense minister, Yoav Gallant, for alleged war crimes over Israel'smilitary offensive in Gazaafter the deadly Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas attacks.

The court's weeklong meeting opened Monday. Business on the agenda includes approving its budget against a backdrop of mounting pressure and unfavorable headlines.

The ICC was established in 2002 as the world's permanent court of last resort to prosecute individuals responsible for the most heinous atrocities — war crimes, crimes against humanity, genocide and the crime of aggression. The U.S., Israel, Russia and China are among the nations that are not members.

The court only takes action when nations are unable or unwilling to prosecute those crimes on their territory. The ICC has no police force and relies on member states to execute arrest warrants.

On top of staff facing sanctions and arrest warrants,Khan has steppeddown temporarily pending the outcome of an investigation into allegations of sexual misconduct. He denies the allegations.

The president of the Assembly of States Parties, Päivi Kaukoranta, acknowledged the investigation into what happened between Khan and a female aide has taken longer than expected. "I am well aware that states have been frustrated with the length of this process," she said in her opening remarks.

There is no date set for the investigation to be completed.

The remains of some of those killed in last week's inferno at a Hong Kong apartment complex may never be recovered, a city official said Monday, as a painstaking search effort continues at the site.

The death toll has risen to 151 people and at least 30 remain missing, officials said Monday, after the city's worst fire in decades, which tore through seven high-rise towers of the Wang Fuk Court complex. The housing complex, which was undergoing renovations, was home to more than 4,000 people, many of which were elderly.

"Since some of the bodies have been reduced to ashes, we don't rule out that we may not be able to bring all the missing people out," said Chief Superintendent Karen Tsang, head of the casualty inquiry unit, who fought back tears during a press conference on Monday afternoon.

The number of people arrested over the fire has risen to 14 and more arrests may follow, authorities said, as they accused construction companies of buying and using materials that were not fire-safe.

Most of those arrested are consultants, contractors and subcontractors connected to the construction work, and 13 of them are being investigated on suspicion of "manslaughter by way of gross negligence," officials said.

An estimated 600 disaster victim identification specialists have been slowly going door to door to clear each apartment since the fire was extinguished Friday.

"During the search, bodies were found in the building corridors, flats, staircases, and even on rooftops," said police superintendent Cheng Ka-chun, who led the specialist police identification unit.

Images released by police showed boiler-suit-clad searchers carefully checking through the ashes of burned belongings inside a fire-ravaged unit. The complex task is made harder by dim lighting conditions and narrow corridors blocked by fallen objects, police said.

Officers had to navigate corridors blocked by burned wooden panels to get to apartments where windows were shattered, with walls blackened and paint peeling off.

"The whole apartment has gone pitch-dark without electricity and lighting," Cheng said Sunday.

By Monday night, the search had concluded at five of the towers, but officials said some apartments in the remaining two damaged blocks were structurally unsafe for searchers to enter.

"Everyone remembers Wang Cheong House was the first to catch fire and was among the last to be put out," said Regional Commander Lam Man-han, adding that "the environment is extremely horrible."

Those killed included a number of elderly residents, foreign domestic workers who lived with their employers – many of which are older people or families with children –– construction workers and a firefighter who had been deployed to the scene.

Nine of the domestic workers were from Indonesia and one was from the Philippines, their consulates said.

Substandard netting

Substandard mesh netting that was wrapping bamboo scaffolding around the complex towers contributed to the rapid spread of the blaze, officials said Monday.

Seven of 20 samples taken from the complex after the fire had failed fire safety tests, said Hong Kong's Secretary for Security Chris Tang.

A corruption probe into 12 of those arrested is now underway.

Woo Ying-ming, the city's corruption commissioner, said the netting around the building had been damaged during a typhoon in July and accused the group of purchasing non-compliant netting to replace it. "They applied it on the damaged spots," said Woo, who added that officials had calculated they had bought enough to wrap all eight towers at the complex.

Fearing the netting would be examined after a fire at another Hong Kong high-rise in October, the group allegedly purchased more fire-safe netting that they wrapped only around the ground floors one the buildings, said Woo.

"The suspects are very cunning," said Chief Secretary Chan Kwok-ki. "For very little profits, they take the lives of many people."

The city's building department is now collecting samples from 300 building sites where similar netting is being used.

Polystyrene boards that were used by contractors to block windows at the complex have been identified as another factor that contributed to the speed of the inferno's spread. Officials said they had identified three other building sites in the city where the same technique was being used and asked for the boards to be removed.

Hong Kong mourns

On Sunday, hundreds of Hong Kongers came to lay flowers at the site of the blaze, forming a long queue that stretched more than a kilometer into the Tai Po neighborhood.

Among the mourners were families, elderly people and foreign domestic helpers, many of whom left notes attached to columns of the pavilion in a nearby park.

"Truth will reveal itself. God bless Hong Kong," one wrote.

Over recent days, donations amounting to 900 million Hong Kong dollars ($115 million) have poured in from businesses and the community, with people also sending food and necessities to a resource center set up by volunteers in the housing complex.

Volunteers helped distribute food and water at the scene.

National security arrests

Some aspects of the community response have drawn suspicion from authorities, who have warned against a resurgence of anti-government sentiment in Hong Kong, referencingpro-democracy proteststhat broke out in 2019.

Hong Kongis a semi-autonomous part of China and run by its own local government that answers to leaders in Beijing.

On Saturday, Beijing's national security office in the city warned against any renewed dissent, calling for the city's government to punish those wishing to use the fire as a pretext to "oppose China and stir chaos in Hong Kong."

National security police have since arrested three people, including one detained on suspicion of incitement after allegedly distributing materials in support of an online petition calling for an independent enquiry into the fire, among other demands, their lawyers told CNN.

The petition, which has since been removed, had over 10,000 signatures by Saturday afternoon, Reuters reported.

A pro-Beijing newspaper reported that a high-ranking Hong Kong police superintendent in charge of national security also visited the site of the fire.

Authorities have asked volunteers to leave the fire scene, announcing that it would centralize the distribution of resources and require people to register through WhatsApp for their donations.
