Speaker 2 (00:08):
The new year is here, with celebrations across America, from
the ball drop in Times Square to fireworks and street
parties and cities nationwide. On the West Coast, it was
a rainy but festive New Year's Eve in Los Angeles,
but as twenty twenty six began, tragedies struck overseas, where
at least ten people were killed in an explosion during
(00:30):
a New Year's Eve party at a popular alpine ski
resort in Switzerland. The cause of the explosion is still unclear.
President Trump says National Guard deployments in Chicago, Los Angeles,
and Portland are coming to an end. The move comes
weeks after the Supreme Court rejected Trump's bid to send
National Guard members to the Chicago area to protect federal
(00:52):
officials who were enforcing his immigration policies. More Americans could
be labeled obese under a new classification. More from Tammy Triheo.
Speaker 3 (01:01):
Four years, doctors have used body mass index, or BMI
to determine obesity. It's a measure that uses height and weight,
but a new study out this week found that measurement
might not give an accurate number of overweight adults. Using
a new proposal that includes waste measurements, more than seventy
five percent of adults in this country could be considered
obese instead of the forty percent shown when just using BMI.
(01:24):
The study was published in the journal JAMA Network Open.
I'm Tammy Trihio.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
The Labor Department says initial JABLAS claims felled a fewer
than two hundred thousand in the week ending December twenty seventh.
That's down sixteen thousand from the prior week's revised total.
It was also less than most analysts had forecast. Ohio
States run at becoming back to back National football champions
is falling short of that goal. The Buckeye season ended
(01:49):
last night with an upset loss to Miami at the
Cotton Bowl in Arlington, Texas. Ohio coach Ryan Day says
the more than three week by was a challenge to overcome.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
Well, I felt like it took us a while to
get into a the rhythm of the game. I thought
we did coming out of the second half.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
I'm Michael Kassner. A body found in Texas has been
identified as Camilla, almost the teen who had been missing
since last Wednesday morning. The Bear County Sheriff's Office in
South Texas confirmed the news Wednesday. Almost's body was found
by search crews Tuesday, a few hundred yards away from
her home in an area of tall grass. The medical
(02:26):
examiner determined the cause of death to be a gunshot
wounded the head, with the manner of death ruled a suicide.
As we move into a new year, a look back
at some of the biggest stories from twenty twenty five.
Here's Jack Crumley.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
Twenty twenty five started with a New Orleans truck attack
that killed fourteen on New Year's Day and laid the
Sugar Bowl a big snow in much of the US
and the southern California wildfires.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
How all the engines coming down here, they're bailing out
because it's going to be crossing the road pretty quickly.
Speaker 3 (02:51):

conflicts between Russia Ukraine. You should be thanking the President
for try to bring it into this conflict, and Israel
Gaza Pope Francis died on Easter, leading to the first
American Pope Leo. The fourteenth, the Eagles denied the Chiefs
(03:18):
a Super Bowl three peat, the thunderbeat the Pacers for
the NBA title, and here in eleven the Dodgers turn
the double play. The Dodgers won a dramatic World Series
Game seven against the Blue Jays. Honora won the Oscar
for Best Picture. They Not Like Us Kendrick Lamars Not
Like Us was Record of the Year and Beyonce one
Album of the Year for Cowboy Carter.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
Diana Ross is trending after the pop icon gave what
many are calling a show stopping performance in New York
City's Times Square on New Year's Eve. The eighty one
year old Queen of Motown appeared on Dick Clark's New
Year's Rock and Eve with Ryan Seacrest and sang some
of her biggest hits just as the year was ending.
Followers on so social media were commenting on how great
(04:02):
she looked and sang, at age eighty one, I'm Michael Kassner.
