(AP Photo/Heather Khalifa, File)2025-12-31T05:03:21Z Zohran Mamdani will become mayor of New York City as the clock ticks over into 2026 but the celebrations are set to last through New Years Day.The Democrats team is planning two separate swearing-in ceremonies Thursday a small, private one with his family in an old subway station around midnight, followed by a large event in the afternoon that will include a public block party outside City Hall. As a new mayors term begins immediately with the new year, it has been customary for the citys incoming leaders to hold two events. Outgoing mayor Eric Adams held his initial swearing-in at Times Square shortly after the famous ball drop, while Adams predecessor, Bill de Blasio, took his first oath at home in Brooklyn.For his part, Mamdani will take his initial oath at the former City Hall subway station in Manhattan one of the citys original stops on its subterranean transit system, known for its tiled arches and vaulted ceilings. New York Attorney General Letitia James, a political ally and notable foe of President Donald Trump, will administer the oath of office.The old City Hall stop was designed as the flagship station of the citys first subway line, but was decommissioned in 1945. These days, outside of occasional guided historical tours, locals can usually only catch a glimpse of it by staying on the 6 train after its last stop downtown when it turns around to head north. In a statement, Mamdanis office said the choice to be sworn in at the station reflected his commitment to the working people who keep our city running every day. When Old City Hall Station first opened in 1904 one of New Yorks 28 original subway stations it was a physical monument to a city that dared to be both beautiful and build great things that would transform working peoples lives, Mamdani said. That ambition need not be a memory confined only to our past, nor must it be isolated only to the tunnels beneath City Hall: it will be the purpose of the administration fortunate enough to serve New Yorkers from the building above, he said. On Thursday afternoon, Mamdani will be sworn in again, this time by U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders, one of his political heroes, on the steps of City Hall in a ceremony scheduled to kick off at 1 p.m. U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, another political ally, will deliver opening remarks. Mamdanis transition formed an inaugural committee that includes actor John Turturro, playwright Cole Escola and writer Colson Whitehead, as well as advocates, small business owners and campaign workers who the incoming mayors office says have provided perspective, guidance, and cultural sensibility for the ceremony. The public swearing-in will be accompanied by a block party along a stretch of Broadway leading up to City Hall. Mamdanis office expects thousands of people to attend and says there will be performances, music and interfaith elements.

A man walking on Bourbon Street holds a flag reading "Love" as an armored vehicle sits parked on a street in the French Quarter as part of a National Guard deployment for New Year's celebrations in New Orleans, Tuesday, Dec. 30, 2025.2025-12-30T22:20:59Z NEW ORLEANS (AP) National Guard members arrived in New Orleans Tuesday to help with safety measures ahead of New Years celebrations as city officials are still seeking permanent security solutions nearly a year after a truck attack on Bourbon Street left 14 dead. The rampage, in which a man drove around a police blockade in the early hours of Jan. 1, revealed security vulnerabilities surrounding the citys famous street filled with boisterous bars, brass bands playing on cobblestone corners and a steady stream of partygoers carrying cocktails. While Louisiana officials say the popular tourist destination is safe and that theyve implemented additional measures to crack down on potential threats, families of deceased victims say not enough has been done to prevent similar tragedies. Searching for answersThe attack happened when Shamsud-Din Jabbar drove a pickup truck down Bourbon Street, plowing into crowds celebrating New Years Day, killing 14 people and injuring dozens of others. Police shot and killed Jabbar, a U.S. citizen and Army veteran who had proclaimed his support for the Islamic State militant group on social media.In the wake of the rampage, city officials, state agencies and law firms representing victims families launched investigations into whether the attack could have been prevented. The investigations focused on the streets bollard system of steel columns designed to block cars from entering the thoroughfare. The bollards were being replaced at the time. Among the victims were Nikyra Dedeaux, an 18-year-old about to start college who was on Bourbon Street with friends. Her mother, Melissa Dedeaux, told The Associated Press on Tuesday that while many will ring in 2026 with fireworks and merriment, she will be grieving. She has been haunted by her daughters final moments, captured in graphic video that circulated on social media. Stay up to date with the news and the best of AP by following our WhatsApp channel. Follow on Im a parent that had to wake up, log on my Facebook account and see my daughters last days my daughters last time. I didnt get to see her on Bourbon the night it happened. I saw her on a video, she told the AP.I saw no safety, Dedeaux said. I saw that my daughter could still be here. Proposing permanent solutionsQuestions still swirl around the streets barricade system, which is a patchwork of bollards, strategically parked police vehicles and 32 large steel barriers that officers push into place every night to form pedestrian zones. They are not meant to be utilized in the fashion they are, Samuel Palumbo, the 8th District New Orleans Police Department Captain, said of the barriers that can withstand only low-speed collisions. He stressed to the New Orleans Governmental Affairs Committee this month that the system is a temporary solution to a permanent problem.We need to learn from what happened, Morris Bart, whose law firm is representing victims and their families, told reporters Tuesday. Its kind of ridiculous ... that a year after this tragedy nothing has been done to resolve this situation.Palumbo urged the city to install permanent security gates that can withstand crashes up to 50 miles per hour (80 kilometers per hour). The committee opted to hold off on a vote until incoming Mayor Helena Moreno enters office in January. A consulting firm, hired by the city to conduct a security assessment, made another suggestion: Make Bourbon Street a pedestrian only area.While much of the street is limited to pedestrians at night, the recommendation which victims families have supported was largely ignored after French Quarter residents and business owners raised concerns about accessing their homes and businesses. National Guards arrivalAs the city prepares for round-the-clock revelry, 350 National Guard members deployed by President Donald Trumps administration arrived to New Orleans.A couple dozen members wearing army fatigues, with guns in their holsters, could be seen Tuesday night throughout the citys historic French Quarter, home to Bourbon Street. They stood near barricades, sipping cups of coffee and even chatting or taking pictures with passersby.Troops will stay through Carnival season, when tourists descend on the Big Easy to partake in costumed celebrations and parades that snake through city streets before ending with Mardi Gras in mid-February. Holding Republicans and Democrats have supported the additional resources which also include state police troopers and Louisiana Wildlife and Fisheries officers. Mayor-elect Moreno said she appreciates the troops presence and that it increases the visibility of security assets during major events.Longtime French Quarter worker Miguel Thornton said hes happy to see armed troops a year after the attack.A lot of the service industry professionals that were out here were affected they saw the carnage, they had to step over bodies and so people were definitely changed, Thornton said. As far as the National Guard, theyve been here before. Honestly, theyre welcome. Remembering 2025Louisiana has a famous Cajun French phrase, Laissez les bon temps rouler, or Let the good times roll. In New Orleans, a city that heavily relies on tourism, the show always goes on in the entertainment district even in the face of tragedy. After the Bourbon Street attack, the strip was closed down as emergency crews tended to the injured, bodies were removed and blood was washed from the streets. By the next day, before all the victims had even been identified by the coroner, the street was reopened. Within a few months, handwritten tributes at the site of the attack had been painted over.As the anniversary nears, tourists again flock to Bourbon Street for New Years celebrations. This time, suspended above them are hundreds of handcrafted flags honoring the victims. Buck Harley, who manages a Bourbon Street cigar shop, said he has had to explain the memorial to patrons. We seem to as a society forget. And I dont think its because of a lack of empathy but because theres another big story taking its place, Harley said. I have to tell the tourists what the flags are up there for, because its forgotten already.___Cline reported from Baton Rouge.___Brook is a corps member for The Associated Press/Report for America Statehouse News Initiative.

In this photo released by Agence Kampuchea Press (AKP), Cambodian soldiers, center, arrive after being captured and held by the Thai army, at Prum border gate, in Pailin province, Cambodia, Wednesday, Dec. 31, 2025. (AKP via AP)2025-12-31T05:58:33Z PHNOM PENH, Cambodia (AP) Thailand on Wednesday released 18 Cambodian prisoners of war held for five months, fulfilling the terms of a ceasefire agreement the two countries signed to end bitter fighting along their border.The release was stipulated in the ceasefire agreement, signed Saturday by the defense ministers of the two countries at the same border checkpoint between Thailands Chanthaburi province and Cambodias Pailin province where the soldiers were released.The repatriation of the 18 Cambodian soldiers was undertaken as a demonstration of goodwill and confidence-building, as well as in adherence to international humanitarian principles, Thailands Foreign Ministry said in a statement.Cambodias Defense Ministry said the release creates an environment conducive to peace, stability, and the full normalization of relations for the benefit of both nations and their people in the near future. The soldiers release removes a major impediment toward that goal after two rounds of destructive combat over competing territorial claims.Thailand insisted it was allowed to hold the men under the Geneva Conventions rules of war, which say prisoners can be detained until the end of hostilities. The prisoners were allowed visits by the International Committee of the Red Cross and other rights covered under international humanitarian law, Thai authorities said. Their continued detention was used effectively by Cambodias government to rally nationalist sentiment in the conflict against Thailand. Stay up to date with the news and the best of AP by following our WhatsApp channel. Follow on Wednesdays statement from Cambodias defense ministry said the government has remained steadfast in the promise made to the families of the 18 soldiers and the Cambodian people: that no soldier would be left behind. The former prisoners were flown in the afternoon from western Cambodia to the capital, Phnom Penh, where they were greeted with hugs and visible emotion by their families as they stepped off a helicopter at the citys old airport. They and their families were then taken by buses for what was reported to be a planned private meeting with Prime Minister Hun Manet. Crowds outside the airport gates cheered and waved small flags as their motorcade passed. The freed men acknowledged the welcome by waving or displaying the traditional Asian greeting of clasping hands in prayer-like fashion in front of oness face or chest.The ceasefire agreement said the soldiers would be freed if the end of combat was sustained for 72 hours after it came into effect at noon on Saturday. The 72 hours passed on Tuesday, but Thai authorities said they needed to evaluate the situation, claiming that 250 Cambodian drones had been active along the border.The two countries had given differing accounts of the circumstances of the mens capture, which took place on the same day the initial ceasefire came into effect at the end of July.Cambodian officials say their soldiers approached the Thai position with friendly intentions to offer post-fighting greetings, while Thai officials said the Cambodians appeared to have hostile intent and entered what Thailand considers its territory and subsequently were taken prisoner. There were originally 20 Cambodia soldiers taken captive, but two were repatriated within days for what were said to be medical reasons.The original July ceasefire was brokered by Malaysia and pushed through by pressure from U.S. President Donald Trump, who threatened to withhold trade privileges unless Thailand and Cambodia agreed. It was formalized in more detail in October at a regional meeting in Malaysia that Trump attended.Despite those deals, the countries carried on a bitter propaganda war and minor cross-border violence continued, escalating in early December to widespread heavy fighting.Thailand lost 26 soldiers and one civilian as a direct result of the combat since Dec. 7, according to officials. Thailand also reported 44 civilian deaths.___Wasamon Audjarint reported from Bangkok. RSShttps://feedx.net https://feedx.site

(Ukrainian Emergency Service via AP)2025-12-31T10:11:43Z KYIV, Ukraine (AP) Russian drones blasted apartment buildings and the power grid in the southern Ukraine city of Odesa in an overnight attack that injured six people, including a toddler and two other children, officials said Wednesday.Four apartment buildings were damaged in the bombardment, according to regional military administration head Oleh Kiper. Power company DTEK said two of its energy facilities suffered significant damage. The company said that 10 substations that distribute electricity in the Odesa region were damaged in December alone.Russia has this year escalated its long-range attacks on urban areas of Ukraine. In recent months, as Russias invasion of its neighbor approaches its four-year milestone in February, it has also intensified its targeting of energy infrastructure, seeking to deny Ukrainians heat and running water in the bitter winter months. From January to November this year, more than 2,300 Ukrainian civilians were killed and more than 11,000 were injured, the United Nations said earlier this month. That was 26% higher than in the same period in 2024 and 70% higher than in 2023, it said. Russias sustained drone and missile attacks have taken place against backdrop of renewed diplomatic efforts to stop the fighting.U.S. President Donald Trump hosted Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy at his Florida resort on Sunday and announced that a settlement is closer than ever before. The Ukrainian leader is due to hold talks next week with the heads of European governments supporting his efforts to secure acceptable terms.

The financial arrangement, known as the Prioritized Ukraine Requirements List, or PURL, pools contributions from NATO members, except the United States, to purchase American weapons, munitions and equipment.Since it was established in August, 24 countries are now contributing to the fund, according to Zelenskyy. The fund has so far received $4.3 billion, with almost $1.5 billion coming in December alone, he said on social media.Ukraines air force said Wednesday that Russia fired 127 drones at the country during the night, with 101 of them intercepted by air defenses.Meanwhile, the Russian Defense Ministry said that 86 Ukrainian drones were shot down overnight over Russian regions, the Black Sea and the illegally annexed Crimea peninsula.The Ukrainian attack started a fire at an oil refinery in Russias southern Krasnodar region, but it was quickly put out, local authorities said.___This story has corrected the day of the alleged Ukrainian drone attack on the Russian presidents residence to late Sunday and early Monday.___Follow APs coverage of the war in Ukraine at https://apnews.com/hub/russia-ukraine ILLIA NOVIKOV Novikov is an Associated Press reporter covering news in Ukraine since 2022.

President Donald Trump talks to the media as he walks to Marine One from the White House, Friday, Dec. 19, 2025, in Washington. (AP Photo/Julia Demaree Nikhinson, File)2025-12-31T06:10:51Z NEW YORK (AP) By nearly any measure, 2025 has been a rough year for anyone concerned about freedom of the press.Its likely to be the deadliest year on record for journalists and media workers. The number of assaults on reporters in the U.S. nearly equals the last three years combined. The president of the United States berates many who ask him questions, calling one woman piggy. And the ranks of those doing the job continues to thin.Its hard to think of a darker time for journalists. So say many, including Tim Richardson, a former Washington Post reporter and now program director for journalism and disinformation at PEN America. Its safe to say this assault on the press over the past year has probably been the most aggressive that weve seen in modern times.Tracking killings and assaults against journalistsWorldwide, the 126 media industry people killed in 2025 by early December matched the number of deaths in all of 2024, according to the Committee to Protect Journalists, and last year was a record-setter. Israels bombing of Gaza accounted for 85 of those deaths, 82 of them Palestinians.Its extremely concerning, said Jodie Ginsberg, CEO of the Committee to Protect Journalists. Unfortunately, its not just, of course, about the sheer numbers of journalists and media workers killed, its also about the failure to obtain justice or get accountability for those killings.What we know from decades of doing this work is that impunity breeds impunity, she said. So a failure to tackle journalists killings creates an environment where those killings continue. Stay up to date with the news and the best of AP by following our WhatsApp channel. Follow on The committee estimates there are at least 323 journalists imprisoned worldwide. None of those killed this year were from the United States. But the work on American soil has still been dangerous. There have been 170 reports of assaults on journalists in the United States this year, 160 of them at the hands of law enforcement, according to the U.S. Press Freedom Tracker. Many of those reports came from coverage of immigration enforcement efforts. Its impossible to look past the influence of President Donald Trump, who frequently seethes with anger at the press while simultaneously interacting with journalists more than any president in memory frequently answering their cell phone calls.Trump has always attacked the press, Richardson said. But during the second term, hes turned that into government action to restrict and punish and intimidate journalists. Journalists learn quickly they have a fight on their handsThe Associated Press learned that quickly, when Trump limited the outlets access to cover him after it refused to follow his lead to rename the Gulf of Mexico. It launched a court fight that has remained unresolved. Trump has also extracted settlements from ABC and CBS News in lawsuits over stories that displeased him, and is suing The New York Times and Wall Street Journal.Long angry about a perceived bias against conservatives on PBS and NPR newscasts, Trump and his allies in Congress successfully cut funding for public broadcasting as a whole. The president has also moved to shut down government-run organizations that beam news to all parts of the world.The U.S. is a major investor in media development, in independent media outlets in countries that have little or no independent media, or as a source of information for people in countries where there is no free media, Ginsberg said. The evisceration of Radio Free Europe, Radio Free Asia and the Voice of America is another blow to press freedom globally.Others in his administration take Trumps lead, like when his press office chose the day after Thanksgiving to launch a web portal to complain about outlets or journalists being unfair.Its part of this overall strategy that were seeing from certain governments, notably the United States, to paint all journalists who dont simply (repeat) the narrative put out by the government as fake news, as dubious, as dodgy, as criminal, Ginsberg said.Trumps defense secretary, Pete Hegseth, has portrayed journalists as dark figures skulking around Pentagon halls to uncover classified secrets as his rationale for putting in restrictive rules for coverage. Thats led to the most notable example of journalists fighting back: most mainstream news outlets gave up their credentials to work in the Pentagon rather than agree to these rules, and are still breaking stories while working off site. The New York Times has sued to overturn the rules. The newspaper also publicly defends itself when attacked by the president, such as when he complained about its coverage of his health.Despite the more organized effort against the press, the public has taken little notice. The Pew Research Center said that 36% of Americans reported earlier this year hearing about the Trump administrations relationship with the press, compared to 72% who said that at the same point in his first term. Polls consistently show that journalists have never been popular, and are likely to elicit little sympathy when their work becomes harder.Really the harm falls on the public with so much of this because the public depends on this independent reporting to understand and scrutinize the decisions that are being made by the most powerful office in the world, Richardson said.Some reasons for optimismThe news industry as a whole is more than two decades in to a retrenchment caused largely by a collapse in the advertising market, and every year brings more reports of journalists laid off as a result. One of the years most sobering statistics came in a report by the organizations Muck Rack and Rebuild Local News: in 2002, there were 40 journalists for every 100,000 people in the United States and by this year, it was down to just over eight.Asked if they could find reasons for optimism, both Ginsberg and Richardson pointed to the rise of some independent local news organizations, shoots of growth of growth in a barren landscape, places like the Baltimore Banner, Charlottesville Tomorrow in Virginia and Outlier Media in Michigan.As much as they are derided in Trumps America, influential Axios CEO Jim VandeHei noted in a column recently that reporters at mainstream media outlets are still working hard and able to set the nations agenda with their reporting.As he told the AP: Over time, people will hopefully come to their senses and say, Hey, the media like anything else is imperfect but, man, its a nice thing to have a free press.___David Bauder writes about the intersection of media and entertainment for the AP.
