Ohio attack
Investigators are trying to determine whether a car and knife attack at the Ohio State University was an act of terrorism. Law enforcement sources say shortly before the attack, the suspect, Abdul Razak Ali Artan, posted a message or messages on Facebook suggesting he was disturbed by how Muslims were being treated around the world.
Defiance in Dakota
Thousands of people protesting a planned oil pipeline in North Dakota say they will defy a mandatory evacuation order. North Dakota’s governor says conditions at the protest camp are “life threatening” and has ordered protesters to leave. The protesters, many of them Native American, are concerned the Dakota Access Pipeline will damage drinking water and sacred sites.
More gridlock?
Congress will be swamped next year with a heavy agenda, and while Republicans have a clear advantage, given their majority control of the White House and Congress, Democrats will still be able to block some of the goals of President-elect Donald Trump and his allies. We look at six fights likely looming on the horizon for 2017.
Infrastructure spending
Investors have cheered Donald Trump’s plan to spend upwards of $1 trillion to upgrade the nation’s aging roads, bridges and other infrastructure, betting a ramp-up in government spending will rev-up economic growth. But will the new president’s plan deliver the kind of bang for the buck many are hoping for?
Adios, Fidel
World leaders are arriving in Havana ahead of tonight’s rally to honor Fidel Castro, but there are some notable absentees. During his nearly 50-year rule, massive crowds gathered to hear Castro’s thunderous speeches. Yesterday, hundreds of thousands came to bid him farewell, and the crowds are expected to be even bigger today.
Going nowhere
Geographic mobility -- the ability to pull up stakes and pursue opportunity wherever it lies -- has long been a pillar of America’s historical narrative. But census data show far fewer Americans are now moving from one part of the country to another. What might explain why so many people are opting to stay put?
Groundbreaking surgery
Katie Rice was 20 weeks into her pregnancy when a routine ultrasound found what turned out to be a rare, fast-growing tumor on her baby’s heart. Doctors said the best chance of saving the child was to try a new type of prenatal surgery -- one that had never been done in a similar case before.
