Facebook is reportedly eyeing the purchase of a drone manufacturer to expand its Internet.org initiative. The social media network could spend $60 million on Titan Aerospace, a company that makes solar-powered flying robots that can float in the sky for up to five years. To help jumpstart Facebook's ambitious plan in connecting parts of the world that lack internet connectivity, the company wants to shoot 11,000 drones up into the African sky.

Titan Aerospace manufactures the Solara 60, a lightweight drone that shoots 12.5 miles into the sky and siphons the sun's rays for energy. But the part that Facebook is most impressed with is that the gizmos can be equipped with high-tech communication software that can beam the internet to the land below.

Facebook has yet to confirm confirm the news, which was first reported by TechCrunch.

On Sunday night, Miss Colombia Paulina Vega beat out 87 other contestants in Miami to win the Miss Universe crown. Miss USA, Nia Sanchez, was first runner-up. Vega, 22, is a business student who's pretty new to beauty pageants and says she wants to own her own business, because "it gives me independence." She takes over from last year's Miss Universe, Gabriela Isler from neighboring Venezuela. Her yearlong reign will include a luxury apartment in New York, a new wardrobe, a salary, and a scholarship to the New York Film Academy. Below, you can watch the moment Vega learns she won. —Peter Weber

Several viable 2016 Republican presidential candidates spoke over the weekend at Iowa Rep. Steve King's Iowa Freedom Summit. So did Donald Trump.

As he has for the past two presidential elections, Trump suggested that he might run next year. "I'm the one person who can make this country great again, that's all I know," he told reporters after his speech. "If I run for president, and if I win, I would totally succeed in creating jobs, defeating ISIS, and stopping the Islamic terrorists, reducing the budget deficit, securing our southern border, stopping nuclear weapons in Iran and elsewhere."

As amusing as that is, Trump really hit his stride during the speech, when he explained to the gathered Republicans why the two presumptive GOP establishment frontrunners, Jeb Bush and Mitt Romney (neither of whom attended), can't win. Watch Trump's relatively astute punditry below. —Peter Weber

Military officials say that at least 30 people were killed during fighting on Sunday between police and Muslim rebels in the Philippines.

Officials in Mamasapano said 27 police officers and five rebels were killed, while seven other police officers were missing and eight had been captured by rebels, Reuters reports. An army spokesman said the goal was to arrest Zulkifli bin Hir, a bomb expert from Malaysia with a $5 million bounty on his head.

This skirmish is likely to strike a blow to an agreement that the government reached last March with the Moro Islamic Liberation Front. Their deal — which involved Moro giving up its weapons and the government giving the Muslim minority more economic and political power— brought to an end 45 years of conflict that left 120,000 dead and 2 million displaced.

President Obama began a three-day visit to India on Sunday, and the protocol-bending hug at the airport from Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi set the tone for a day filled with public displays of affection. The two leaders said the visit marked an era of "new trust" between the sometimes-uneasy allies, and announced a breakthrough on a long-stalled civil nuclear agreement plus partnerships on defense and curbing some greenhouse gas emissions.

Obama spent most of Sunday in talks with Modi, who said at a press conference afterward that "the chemistry that has brought Barack and me closer has also brought Washington and Delhi closer." But the big event in Obama's visit was on Monday, when he became the first U.S. president to attend India's Republic Day Parade, as the personal guest of Modi.

The parade, to celebrate the enactment of India's democratic constitution, "is part Soviet-style display of India's military hardware, part Macy's Thanksgiving Day-type parade with floats highlighting India's cultural diversity," explains The Associated Press' Julie Pace. You can get a taste of Obama's parade-watching experience in this AP video, and watch a Reuters report on the first day of Obama's visit below. —Peter Weber

Australia's Prime Minister Tony Abbott is defending his decision to make Prince Philip, husband of Queen Elizabeth II and the Duke of Edinburgh, an Australian knight.

"The monarchy has been an important part of Australia's life since 1788," he said. "And Prince Philip has been a great servant of Australia. He's been a great servant of all the countries of the Commonwealth. Here in this country, he's the patron of hundreds of organizations." Abbott reinstated the knights and dames division of the Order of Australia in 2014, after receiving approval from the Queen, The Associated Press reports.

In a move that angered critics, Abbott made the announcement on Monday, which happens to be Australia's national holiday. "It's a time warp where we're giving knighthoods to English royalty," Opposition Leader Bill Shorten told Fairfax Radio. "On Australia Day, we're talking about Australia, Australian identity. The government's managed to find a British royal to give a medal to, a knighthood to."

The leftist, anti-austerity Syriza party could take control of Greece as soon as Wednesday, if Prime Minister–designate Alexis Tsipras is sworn in on Monday and his government is quickly approved by the newly elected parliament. Investors aren't thrilled with Syriza's decisive win in Sunday's snap election.

Tsipras' pledge to renegotiate Greece's sovereign debt, cancel bailout-mandated austerity measures, and perhaps eventually pull Greece out of the euro currency sent the euro tumbling to $1.1098, its lowest level since September 2003. Stock futures also dropped on news of the Syriza's big win. Some analysts say the market fears are misplaced, arguing that Tsipras is unlikely to drop the euro and other European governments have greatly reduced their exposure to Greek debt since 2012, lowering the risk of contagion.

Oh Mylanta and have mercy! The cast of Full House gave their fans a huge treat on Saturday when they sang the theme song to the '90s classic together during a performance worthy of the Smash Club.

The gang — minus the Olsen twins, Dave Coulier, the ghost of Comet, and all of the Rippers — was joined onstage by the tune's original singer, Jesse Franklin, and although they stumbled over some of the words, the enthusiasm more than made up for it. The crew was out celebrating the birthday of show creator Jeff Franklin, but let's all hope that was just a ruse, and they were actually meeting to go over the script for a sanctioned Full House reunion. — Catherine Garcia

For the first time since 1994, Sheldon Silver won't be in the role of speaker of the New York State Assembly — if his fellow Democrats approve his new shift-of-power proposal in a meeting on Monday. Late Sunday, Silver agreed to temporarily give up his speaker duties while he fights federal corruption charges. Instead of handing over power to one person, though, he would split his duties among a handful of senior Democratic colleagues.

Silver would "not specifically step down, but step back," an unidentified person "briefed on the situation" tells The New York Times. Federal prosecutors accuse Silver, 70, of trying to disguise $4 million in payments he obtained by abusing his authority; Silver denies the charges.

On Sunday, the White House announced that President Obama will ask Congress to classify 12 million acres in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge in Alaska as wilderness, which would forbid drilling for oil and gas and the construction of roads on the land.

The refuge covers 19 million acres, and is home to polar bears, gray wolves, musk oxen, and caribou. "This is a big deal," Gene Karpinski, president of The League of Conservation Voters, told The New York Times. "Big oil has long wanted to get its hands on the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. ... We wholeheartedly agree and celebrate this announcement by the Obama administration."

The proposal is already receiving opposition from several Republican lawmakers, including Sen. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, who called the proposal "a stunning attack on our sovereignty" and vowed to "fight back with every resource at our disposal." Since the refuge was created in 1980, lawmakers in Alaska have tried to open the area for drilling and development, the Times reports.
