US--OBIT-AARON BROWN

Former CNN anchor Aaron Brown, who helped viewers through the Sept. 11 attacks, has died

SUMMARY: Aaron Brown, a veteran television news anchor whose steady hand helped guide CNN viewers through the unfolding tragedy of the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks, has died. Citing a statement from Brown’s family, CNN reported that he died Sunday. A cause of death was not given. He was 76. Brown’s first day on camera at CNN was Sept. 11, 2001, and his anchoring from a Manhattan rooftop immediately thrust him into a major role there. As the second tower fell that morning, Brown responded with the horror most viewers no doubt felt. He said, “Good lord. There are no words.” His coverage of the attacks earned Brown the Edward R. Murrow Award.

US--CARTER

Jimmy Carter is being mourned in his tiny hometown and around the world

SUMMARY: Tributes to former President Jimmy Carter are pouring in from his small hometown of Plains, Georgia, and around the world. In Plains, black ribbons are hung alongside U.S. flags, as residents mourn the 39th president, who died Sunday at the age of 100. They are remembering Carter as “Mr. Jimmy,” the neighbor who was friendly and approachable. But in Washington, at the United Nations and abroad, Carter’s status as a global figure is on display. President Joe Biden has set Jan. 9 as a day of mourning. Federal offices will be closed for Carter’s state funeral. And the U.N. Security Council praised Carter for his diplomatic and international peace efforts as president and after his one White House term.

US--JIMMY CARTER-GUINEA WORM

Jimmy Carter made eradicating Guinea worm disease a top mission

SUMMARY: Nobel Peace Prize winner Jimmy Carter spent decades waging war against an ancient parasite. Carter tried to rid the world of Guinea worm, which infects people who drink unclean water tainted with larva. The worms can grow 3 feet long inside the body before breaking out in painful blisters. Rarely fatal but often crippling, the disease infected 3.5 million of the world’s poorest people in Africa and Asia when Carter launched the eradication campaign in 1986. The Carter Center trained an army of volunteers who trained villagers how to filter water and report infections. The parasite now stands at the brink of extinction, with just 13 human infections reported last year.

Southerners are cleaning up from tornadoes that swept the region

SUMMARY: Cleanup is underway after a strong storm system spawned hail, rain, high winds and tornadoes across the southern U.S. over the weekend. At least four people were killed. A National Weather Service official says that as of Monday afternoon, over 30 tornadoes had been confirmed. Crews were working through reports of about 50 tornadoes thought to have struck over the weekend from Texas to South Carolina.

US--NEW YEAR’S EVE-TIMES SQUARE

Times Square ball takes final test for New Year’s Eve

SUMMARY: The crystal-covered ball that descends down a pole in Times Square to ring in the new year was taken for a test run, as New York City officials laid out their plans for the iconic New Year’s Eve event. Officials flipped a switch to light up the the dazzling geodesic sphere — weighing almost 6 tons and featuring 2,688 crystal triangles — which then successfully ran up and down a 139-foot pole atop the One Times Square skyscraper. Monday’s rehearsal was just one of many pre-ball drop promotional events.

US--OBIT-JIMMY CARTER-A LIFE

Jimmy Carter: Many evolutions for a centenarian ‘citizen of the world’

SUMMARY: The 39th and longest-lived U.S. president, James Earl Carter Jr., died Sunday at the age of 100. His life ended where it began, in Plains, Georgia. He left and returned to the tiny town many times as he climbed to the nation’s highest office and lost it after four tumultuous years. Carter spent the next 40 years setting new standards for what a former president can do. Carter wrote nearly a decade ago that he found all the phases of his life challenging but also successful and enjoyable. The Democrat’s principled but pragmatic approach defied American political labels, especially the idea that one-term presidents are failures.

US--GUANTANAMO-9/11 CASE

The Pentagon chief loses bid to reject 9/11 plea deals

SUMMARY: A military appeals court has ruled against Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin’s effort to throw out the plea deals reached for Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and two other defendants in the 9/11 attacks. The decision Monday night puts back on track the agreements that would have the three men plead guilty in exchange for being spared the possibility of the death penalty. The Sept. 11, 2001, attacks by al-Qaida killed nearly 3,000 people. The military judge hearing the 9/11 case said Austin lacked standing to throw out the plea deals after they were underway. That had set up the Defense Department’s appeal to the military appeals court.

US--VOTING-BALLOT SIGNATURES

The rise in mail voting comes with a price, as mismatched signatures lead to ballot rejections

SUMMARY: The use of mail ballots exploded in 2020 as states looked for ways to accommodate voters during the COVID-19 pandemic. But a consistent problem has surfaced since then: Hundreds or even thousands of ballots being rejected because the signatures on the return envelope don’t match the ones on file. It’s led to a lawsuit over a close county government race in Hawaii and calls for reform in Nevada, where 9,000 mail ballots were rejected, mostly over signature problems. Election experts say it’s important for states and local governments to have procedures that ensure large numbers of eligible mail ballot voters aren’t being disenfranchised.

SUMMARY: President-elect Donald Trump calls his Mar-a-Lago resort the “center of the universe.” Famous figures such as Elon Musk, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg pop up at events held daily at the opulent club. Over the weekend, Mike Love of the Beach Boys performed the band’s hits under a tent at Mar-a-Lago as Trump wandered through the crowd and swung his fists to the music. Sightings of those passing through offer a glimpse into the workings of Trump’s incoming White House, how he is setting priorities for his administration and what some VIPs are doing to curry favor.

Takeaways from AP’s reporting on Sarah McBride, the first openly trans person elected to Congress

SUMMARY: Sarah McBride made history in Delaware, as the first openly transgender state senator in the United States. Now she was making history again, recently elected as the first openly trans member of Congress. Her political promotion has come during a reckoning for transgender rights, when legislation in Republican-governed states around the country aims to curb their advance. During an election where a deluge of campaign ads and politicians demeaned trans people, McBride still easily won her blue state’s only seat in the U.S. House of Representatives. Here are some takeaway from AP’s reporting about this political trailblazer.

Transgender trailblazer Sarah McBride heads to her debut in Congress, hoping for a touch of grace

SUMMARY: U.S. Rep.-elect Sarah McBride will be sworn in as the first openly transgender member of Congress on Jan. 3. The Democrat’s political victory comes during a reckoning for transgender rights, and after an election filled with campaign ads and politicians demeaning trans people. Already her reception from congressional Republicans has been tumultuous, and an anti-trans Capitol bathroom ban was enacted in the wake of her historic election. McBride told The Associated Press that “there is so much joy and so much awe in having this opportunity,” and she will not let anyone take that away from her. She said she was simply there to do the job just like anyone else.

It said in a letter to lawmakers Monday revealing the breach that “at this time there is no evidence indicating the threat actor has continued access to Treasury information.” The department, which is working with the FBI and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, said the hack had been attributed to Chinese culprits, without elaborating.

Biden announces nearly $2.5 billion more in military aid for Ukraine

SUMMARY: President Joe Biden says the United States will send nearly $2.5 billion more in weapons to Ukraine. Biden’s administration is working quickly to spend all the money it has available to help Kyiv fight off Russia before President-elect Donald Trump takes office in three weeks. The package announced Monday includes $1.25 billion in presidential drawdown authority, which allows the military to pull existing stock from its shelves and gets weapons to the battlefield faster. The deal also puts more long-term weapons packages on contract through a separate Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative, which pays for longer-term weapons deliveries. Biden said all longer-term funds have now been spent and pledged to use the remaining drawdown money before leaving office.

The 45 patients left the European Hospital in the southern city of Khan Younis early Tuesday and traveled through the Kerem Shalom Crossing into Israel. They will receive treatment in the United Arab Emirates. The U.N.

A new year dawns on a Middle East torn by conflict and change

SUMMARY: The streets were buzzing with excitement in Damascus as Syrians welcomed in a new year that seemed to many to bring a promise of a brighter future after the unexpected fall of Bashar Assad’s government weeks earlier. While Syrians in the capital looked forward to a new beginning after the ousting of Assad, the mood was more somber along Beirut’s Mediterranean promenade. That’s where residents shared cautious hopes for the new year, reflecting on a country still reeling from war and ongoing crises. The last year was a dramatic one in the Middle East, bringing calamity to some and hope to others.

SUMMARY: Peg Reif was among more than 120 people who contacted The Associated Press this fall, after a series of stories and a documentary made with Frontline exposed how South Korea created a baby pipeline, designed to ship children abroad as quickly as possible to meet Western demand. The reporting shook adoption communities around the world with details about how agencies competed for babies — pressuring mothers, bribing hospitals, fabricating documents. Most who wrote were adoptees, but some were adoptive parents like Reif, horrified to learn they had supported this system. Reif fretted that her greatest fear might be true: had she adopted and raised a kidnapped child?

‘No heating, no light’: Moldovans fear looming energy shortage as Russia halts gas supplies

SUMMARY: Moldovans are bracing for a difficult winter ahead as a looming energy shortage could leave them without enough energy. On Jan. 1, Russia’s state-owned energy giant Gazprom is set to halt gas supplies to the European Union candidate country over an alleged $709 million debt for past supplies, a figure fiercely disputed by Moldova’s pro-Western government, which has accused Moscow of weaponizing energy to destabilize the country. The cessation will stop gas flowing to the Kuciurgan power plant, the country’s largest, which is situated in the separatist pro-Russian Transnistria region. The plant generates electricity that powers a significant portion of Moldova proper.

Authorities meanwhile are conducting safety inspections on all Boeing 737-800 aircraft operated by the country’s airlines. All but two of the 181 people aboard the Boeing 737-800 operated by budget airline Jeju Air died in Sunday’s crash. The plane was seen having an engine trouble and preliminary examinations also say the pilots received a bird strike warning from the ground control center and issued a distress signal as well. But many experts say the landing gear issue was likely the main cause of the crash.

The country’s anti-corruption agency said Tuesday it is investigating whether the declaration amounted to rebellion. But experts still say there is little chance of detention or searches unless Yoon is formally removed from office. The Seoul Western District Court issued warrants to detain Yoon and to search the presidential office and residence in central Seoul, according to a statement from the Corruption Investigation Office for High-Ranking Officials, which is leading a joint investigation with police and military authorities.

The Associated Press is republishing its story on Carter’s announcement that the talks had succeeded in a “framework for peace” in the Middle East.

SUMMARY: Jimmy Carter helped expand democracy around the world long after he left the White House. His efforts gave rise to the Carter Center, which promotes fair elections as a vehicle for peace. It has monitored 125 elections in 40 countries and three tribal nations since it first started the work in 1989. David Carroll is head of the center’s democracy program. He says the former president had moral authority and credibility as someone who had both won and lost elections. That was essential to the trust people placed in him. Carter died Sunday at 100.
