The video begins with a report on a suspected terror attack at a Christmas market in Germany, where a car drove into a crowd, killing two people and injuring over 60. The driver, a 50-year-old doctor from Saudi Arabia, was arrested, and authorities are treating it as a deliberate act of terrorism. In the U.S., a severe winter storm is causing travel disruptions, with heavy snow and accidents reported across several states. The storm is expected to bring sub-zero wind chills and black ice, complicating holiday travel for millions. Meanwhile, the U.S. government narrowly avoids a shutdown after House Republicans pass a temporary funding bill, despite pressure from Elon Musk and Donald Trump.
