This is AP News Minute.

Thousands remained without power across the southeastern United States after a massive winter storm dropped snow, sleet¹ and freezing rain on five states. Officials warned that while the worst of the storms has passed, travel conditions remain treacherous². At least 3 deaths have been reported, all in North Carolina.

Hundred of climate activists³ protested outside the office of incoming House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, demanding House Democratic leaders form a select committee for a green new deal. Dozens were arrested during the demonstration⁴, organized by the environmental group Sunrise Movement.

Prosecutors⁵ say they've "resolved" a case against a woman accused of being a secret agent for the Russian government. The information came in a court filing Monday in the case against Maria Butina. It's a sign she has likely taken a plea deal.

And the "Fearless Girl" statue that inspired millions with a message of female empowerment has a new permanent home in front of the New York stock exchange. The statue was unveiled at its new location on Monday.
