Security beefed up in America for New Years celebrations

Authorities across the United States are working to ensure New Year’s revellers’ security this weekend, particularly in New York. The NYPD has prepared for a crowd in the hundreds of thousands. The New York City Mayor and NYPD officials have both said there are no credible threats to the city’s iconic bash in Times Square. They do anticipate pro-Palestinian demonstrators who’ve taken to the city streets the entire holiday season. The police presence has also been expanded in Chicago as they prepare for their celebrations.
