Global National: Jan. 1, 2025 | Perpetrator of deadly New Orleans ramming attack identified

Shamsud-Din Jabbar, a former U.S. Army veteran, is accused of driving a pickup truck through a crowd of New Year's revellers on Bourbon Street in New Orleans, killing at least 15 people and injuring dozens more. Jackson Proskow reports on the investigation into what the FBI is calling "an act of terrorism," what's known about Jabbar, and the major security concerns about other major upcoming events in New Orleans. Not much is changing for Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, with 2025 starting off very similar to how 2024 ended for him. As Trudeau faces even more calls from Liberal MPs to resign, Heidi Petracek explains why it's urgent for the prime minister to decide his future and how U.S. president-elect Donald Trump could react to the political uncertainty. Most people in Puerto Rico spent New Year's Eve in the dark due to a major power grid failure. Kyle Benning explains why the Caribbean island is prone to blackouts and how there's no clear solution to fix its persistent power problems. Plus, Jeremy Hansen was supposed to become the first Canadian to fly around the moon in 2025, but NASA's Artemis II mission has been delayed that to 2026. Mike Armstrong sits down with Hansen to discuss what the former fighter pilot learned while waiting to make history and why he doesn't feel like an astronaut yet.
