00:05Milan is ready for hosting the 2026 Winter Olympics.
00:10From the 6th to the 22nd of February, the Italian city will see competitions in a range of sports,
00:17such as figure skating, ski jumping and bobsleigh.
00:21While the Olympic village is slowly coming to life,
00:23posters and light installations are also bringing the multi-sport event to the heart of the city.
00:30The Games have, however, also drawn some criticism.
00:33This is notably because of the environmental impact,
00:36but also the presence of agents from the American Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE.
00:42Although the agents are reportedly set to be confined to a control room
00:45and only ensure the protection of American officials,
00:49their presence at the Games has drawn anger in Italy and internationally.
