China is facing a new virus, potentially the HMPV virus, causing many respiratory issues, especially among children. Hospitals in northern China are overwhelmed with patients. The HMPV virus leads to flu-like symptoms, such as coughing, fever, and a stuffy or runny nose, and can result in serious issues like bronchitis or pneumonia, particularly in vulnerable groups like young children and the elderly.

Though the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention reports an increase in flu-like illnesses and higher rates of HMPV compared to other viruses, the Chinese authorities have not officially confirmed an outbreak. There is no specific treatment for HMPV, and those infected are advised to treat it like the flu. Health authorities are enhancing measures to control pneumonia cases, but Beijing describes the outbreak as an "annual winter phenomenon." The WHO has not declared it a global health emergency yet.

A US Army veteran named Shamsud-Din Jabbar, 42, drove a pickup truck flying a Daesh flag into a crowded area of New Orleans' French Quarter on New Year’s Day, resulting in the deaths of 15 people. The incident, which officials suspect may have involved accomplices, also injured about 30 individuals, including two police officers who were shot during the ensuing chaos. Jabbar, a Texas resident who served in Afghanistan, died in a shootout with the police following the attack, which occurred around 3:15 a. m. near Canal and Bourbon Streets, where New Year celebrations were ongoing.
Police found weapons and a potential explosive device in Jabbar's vehicle, leading to a broader investigation involving the FBI. They discovered additional explosive devices in the city that were rendered safe. Due to the threat, the Sugar Bowl college football game was postponed, as officials searched for further safety risks. The FBI is pursuing leads on possible accomplices and various suspects, with Assistant Special Agent Alethea Duncan stating they do not believe Jabbar acted alone.
Victims of the attack included a mother of a young child, a New York financial employee, and an 18-year-old aspiring nurse. President Joe Biden condemned the attack, calling it "despicable," and mentioned investigating any potential connections to another incident involving a Tesla truck fire near a Trump hotel in Las Vegas, although no links have been confirmed.
Jabbar had previously expressed thoughts of joining Daesh and personal struggles after a divorce. He had a military background as a human resources and IT specialist. Onlookers described the scene as chaotic, filled with screams and debris as the truck hit the crowd. At the time of the attack, about 400 police officers were present in the area, which was previously planning to enhance vehicle barriers to prevent such incidents in the future.

The earnest Georgia peanut farmer, former US President Jimmy Carter, passed away at his home in Plains, Georgia, at the age of 100. President Joe Biden announced that January 9 will be a national day of mourning in honor of Carter. Biden urged Americans to gather in their places of worship that day to pay tribute to Carter, who served as president from January 1977 to January 1981. During his presidency, Carter brokered the Camp David Accords for peace between Israel and Egypt, but his term was also marked by economic recession, low popularity, and the Iran hostage crisis.
After leaving the presidency, Carter became known as a committed humanitarian, earning the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002 for his efforts to promote human rights and peace internationally. World leaders and former presidents have expressed their condolences and highlighted his compassionate nature and contributions to global peace.
Carter dealt with various health challenges in recent years, opting for hospice care in February 2023. His wife, Rosalynn, passed away in November 2023. Despite facing significant difficulties during his term, Carter's post-presidency work earned him widespread respect, contrasting with his political struggles while in office. He emphasized moral leadership and reduced the ceremonial aspects of the presidency, making strides for peace in the Middle East through his diplomatic efforts. The Carter Center announced plans for public observances in honor of his legacy.

President-elect Donald Trump said on Sunday that he supports allowing TikTok to continue operating in the United States, highlighting his campaign’s success on the platform with billions of views. His comments in Phoenix, Arizona, suggest he is against TikTok leaving the US market.
In April, the US Senate passed a law requiring TikTok's Chinese parent company, ByteDance, to sell the app due to national security concerns. TikTok has challenged this law, and the US Supreme Court will consider the case. If the court rules against ByteDance and no sale occurs, TikTok could be banned by January 19.
Trump mentioned having a “warm spot” for TikTok after a meeting with its CEO, noting his campaign had a great response on the platform. The Justice Department believes Chinese control poses a security risk, a view supported by many lawmakers. TikTok argues its ties to China are overstated, claiming user data is stored in the US and moderation is done here as well.

South Korea's impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol did not attend a scheduled questioning by the country's corruption watchdog on Wednesday. He was summoned regarding an attempted martial law declaration made on December 3, which led to significant political unrest. Yoon was removed from his duties by parliament over this event.

The Corruption Investigation Office (CIO) had summoned him for questioning about charges of insurrection and abuse of power. An official stated that Yoon's absence would be noted as non-compliance with the summons. His legal team claimed he did not commit insurrection and intends to contest the charges in court. They mentioned that a summons sent to Yoon was returned undelivered after it was not accepted at the presidential office.

The CIO is contemplating sending a second summons and has also discussed the possibility of requesting an arrest warrant. Yoon is under investigation by various authorities and could face severe penalties if found guilty. Additionally, the Constitutional Court is reviewing Yoon's impeachment and has requested relevant documents, with a preliminary hearing scheduled for December 27, though Yoon is not required to attend.

Astronomers have discovered a large population of the smallest asteroids ever seen in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter by analyzing old images from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). This finding may help track small asteroids that could approach Earth. The newly found asteroids range from bus-sized to the size of several stadiums, still smaller compared to the one that wiped out most dinosaurs, but they are still powerful. Smaller "decametre" asteroids collide with Earth much more often, though they are harder to detect. A team of astronomers identified 138 new decametre asteroids by using a new method on JWST images of the TRAPPIST-1 system.

Donald Trump expressed admiration for Prince William, calling him “very handsome” after their meeting in Paris. Their conversation, which Trump described as a “great talk,” may cause concern for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle regarding Harry’s visa application. This meeting took place during celebrations for Notre Dame Cathedral, marking the first royal encounter with Trump since he left the White House in 2021. Trump praised William's appearance, noting he looked better in person and complimented him on his looks.

During their nearly two-hour discussion at the UK Ambassador’s Residence, Trump inquired about Kate Middleton’s health and mentioned King Charles III's ongoing health challenges. Meanwhile, royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams suggested that Harry and Meghan might feel nervous about Harry's visa issues in light of Trump’s talk with William. He indicated that Harry's visa status could be affected by Trump's presidency, especially concerning past admissions in Harry's memoir.

Trump previously stated he would not protect Harry and that the duke would handle his own issues. Trump’s potential election win has led to discussions about the possible release of Harry’s immigration documents, which some believe could happen if Trump is re-elected.

South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol announced on Wednesday that he would lift the martial law he had imposed just hours earlier after it was rejected by outraged lawmakers. Yoon declared martial law on Tuesday night to combat "anti-state forces" among political opponents, but parliament unanimously voted against it. Following this, protesters celebrated outside the National Assembly. The main opposition Democratic Party called for Yoon's resignation or impeachment, stating he cannot govern normally. Yoon’s declaration had raised international concerns, particularly in the US, where the White House expressed relief at his decision to back down. This situation marked the first martial law in South Korea since 1980 and has led to calls for potential snap elections amid ongoing political uncertainty. Yoon, whose popularity has dropped, previously won a tight election in 2022 but faced significant losses in recent parliamentary elections.
