Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Windsor Johnston. An investigation is underway to determine the cause of a fire that broke out at a popular ski resort in southwestern Switzerland overnight. Terry Schultz reports dozens of people are presumed dead, and more than 100 others suffered serious injuries during New Year's Eve celebrations.

Swiss authorities say the fire broke out in a bar in the Cremontana ski resort around 1.30 a.m.

They won't speculate on what caused the high death toll.

Many of the wounded suffered severe burns.

Local hospitals and emergency responders are overwhelmed.

Officials set at a press conference

and patients are being moved to nearby facilities. They're pleading with others out on ski

slopes and roads to do their maximum to avoid accidents that could further strain services.

That's Terry Schultz reporting. Starting today, millions of Americans will pay a lot more for health insurance. Federal subsidies that help lower the cost of individual marketplace plans expired last night. Some will see monthly premiums double. Sarah Bowden reports that will likely force some people to drop their coverage. Preliminary data from December show that enrollment is

down a bit compared to last December, but overall, it is higher than expected. That could change

over the course of this year. Cynthia Cox is a researcher at the Health Policy Think Tank KFF.

She says it's kind of like the difference between putting groceries in your shopping

cart and actually purchasing those groceries. So you don't actually own those groceries until you

paid for them the same thing with health insurance. You can sign up, you can pick a plan,

but until you pay for it, it's not your health plan. In most states, the final deadline to sign up for a plan for

26 is January 15th. For NPR News, I'm Sarah Bowden. So Ron Mamm-Dani has been sworn in as the first

Muslim mayor of New York City. The 34-year-old progressive Democrat rose in a single year

from being a relatively unknown state

lawmaker to lead the largest city in the U.S. NPR's Brian Mann reports.

The oath was administered to Mamdani in a ceremony held in a historic subway station

under City Hall by New York State Attorney General Letitia James.

Congratulations, Mr. Mayor.
