Israel says it launched retaliatory attacks in Iran
The Israel Defense Forces said it conducted "precise" strikes on military targets in Iran.
The strikes, it said, were in response to months of attacks from Iran against Israel. Officials have been awaiting Israel's response to a barrage of missiles that were fired from Iran at Israel on Oct. 1.
"The regime in Iran and its proxies in the region have been relentlessly attacking Israel since October 7th — on seven fronts — including direct attacks from Iranian soil," the IDF said in a statement. "Like every other sovereign country in the world, the State of Israel has the right and the duty to respond."
Iranian state media reported explosions inside the country’s capital of Tehran. Two soldiers were killed by Israel's air strikes on Iran this morning, according to a statement from the Iranian army.

‘I'm walking here!': Jaywalking legalized in New York City
Jaywalking - that time-honored practice of crossing the street outside of the crosswalk or against the traffic light -- is now legal in New York City.
Legislation passed by the City Council last month officially became law over the weekend after Mayor Eric Adams declined to take action -- either by signing or vetoing it -- after 30 days.
Council Member Mercedes Narcisse, a Brooklyn Democrat who sponsored the legislation, said Tuesday that the new law ends racial disparities in enforcement, noting that more than 90% of the jaywalking tickets issued last year went to Black and Latino people.
“Let’s be real, every New Yorker jaywalks. People are simply trying to get where they need to go,” she said in an emailed statement. “Laws that penalize common behaviors for everyday movement shouldn’t exist, especially when they unfairly impact communities of color.”
The new law permits pedestrians to cross a roadway at any point, including outside of a crosswalk. It also allows for crossing against traffic signals and specifically states that doing so is no longer a violation of the city’s administrative code.

PATH Hoboken station closing for 25 days for renovation work: Here's what you need to know
The Hoboken PATH station will close for 25 days early next year for track and station work, requiring commuters to make alternative plans for travel into New York City, the Port Authority announced Thursday.
The full-station closure is set to begin at 11:59 p.m. on Thursday, Jan. 30 until 5 a.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 25
The Port Authority said the closure is necessary to do work on the two tunnels into the station and is better than the alternative option of weekend service reductions for a full year. The Port Authority also plans to make improvements to the station and upgrades to the tracks in the station.

Kamala Harris appears in ‘SNL' cold open alongside Maya Rudolph
The Democratic nominee for president made a last-minute appearance in the cold open on "Saturday Night Live," appearing with Maya Rudolph, who has impersonated Harris on the show throughout the election season.
The cold open began with James Austin Johnson doing his impersonation of former President Donald Trump, who was dressed as a garbage man, alluding to something the former president really did earlier in the week.
The sketch then cuts to Rudolph as Harris, along with Jim Gaffigan as Harris' running mate and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and Andy Samberg as Doug Emhoff.
The two eventually leave Rudolph as Harris alone to practice her speech.
"Gosh, I wish I could talk to someone who has a been in my shoes," Rudolph as Harris said. "A Black, south Asian woman, preferably from the Bay Area."

Abdi Nageeye of the Netherlands and Sheila Chepkirui of Kenya win NYC Marathon
Abdi Nageeye of the Netherlands won the men's race at the New York City Marathon on Sunday and Sheila Chepkirui of Kenya took the women's event.
Both runners pulled away from their closest competitors in the final few hundred meters to come away with their first victories in the race.
Nageeye was step-for-step with 2022 champion Evans Chebet before using a burst heading into Central Park to come away with the win in 2 hours, 7 minutes, 39 seconds. Chebet finished 6 seconds behind.
“At the finish I was like, am I’m dreaming? I won New York,” Nageeye said.
He had run the New York race three times before with his best finish coming in 2022, when he was third.
“I know the course,” Nageeye said. “Today was two things: survive that race and my race is after 36 (kilometers; 22 miles). I was thinking like a cyclist, survive 36K and you’re going to win.”
Chepkirui was running New York for the first time and pulled away from defending champion Hellen Obiri in the women's race. Chepkirui, who started to run marathons in 2022, won in 2:24.35. Obiri finished nearly 15 seconds behind.

Speaking from the Rose Garden, Biden said the American people deserve a “peaceful and orderly” transfer of power, adding that "in a democracy, the will of the people always prevails.”

NYC air quality unhealthy as smoke blankets tri-state; mayor bans park grilling
Wildfires continue to burn around the tri-state as red flag warnings remain and drought conditions persist. The fires are leading to smoky skies and diminished air quality.
Nearly a half-dozen wildfires are burning in New Jersey and red flag warnings cover the tri-state area, from the Garden State to New York City to Fairfield County, Connecticut, Saturday, two days after the U.S. Drought Monitor released ever-worsening news. The tri-state area is withering in a prolonged and increasingly extreme drought situation.
The worsening smoke conditions triggered an air quality health advisory for New York City, as well as Rockland and Westchester counties. By Saturday evening, the air quality had spiked to "very unhealthy" levels.
Anyone with heart or lung disease, older adults and young children are advised to avoid outdoor exposure. Everyone else is encouraged to limit outdoor activities or keep them short.

Luigi Mangione rants outside court, fights extradition to NYC in alleged CEO murder
Luigi Mangione, the 26-year-old Ivy League graduate from a Maryland real estate family charged with murder in UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson's death, has not waived extradition to New York City following a hearing in Pennsylvania Tuesday afternoon where the judge also denied bail.
Although Mangione is contesting the request for extradition to where the crime occurred, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg will seek the governor’s warrant to secure his transfer to the city, according to the DA's office. Lawyer Thomas Dickey confirmed to NBC News outside of court that he represents Mangione in the case.
Earlier, Mangione arrived outside Blair County Court and shouted, "it's an insult to the intelligence of the American people." It wasn't clear what he was referring to.
The developments come as investigators comb through the background and lifestyle of Mangione in an effort to piece together the alleged crime. They say he left writings that say in part, "frankly these parasites had it coming," referencing the healthcare industry, a senior law enforcement official briefed on the case confirmed to NBC News.

Trump says he will ‘look at' pardon for Mayor Eric Adams, who is facing bribery charges
President-elect Donald Trump on Monday said in a far-ranging news conference that he would consider pardoning embattled New York Mayor Eric Adams.
“Yeah I would,” consider pardoning Adams, Trump told reporters at his Mar-a-Lago club in Florida, before saying that he was not familiar with the specifics of the charges Adam is facing.
Adams has pleaded not guilty to charges that he accepted lavish travel benefits and illegal campaign contributions from a Turkish official and other foreign nationals in exchange for political favors that included pushing through the opening of a Turkish consulate building.
He has vowed to continue serving as mayor while fighting the charges “with every ounce of my strength and my spirit.” Adams has suggested — without providing evidence — that the charges are politically motivated.
