The world has celebrated the New Year
Well, the ball has dropped in New York City, following a performance in Times Square from Mariah Carey that saw her trending on Twitterfor all the wrong reasons. What a way to end the year. To recap the past few hours:
- Celebrations around the world were marred following news of a terrorist attack in Istanbul. The city remains on high alert after a gunman opened fire on partygoers at a New Year’s Eve celebration in one of the most popular nightclubs in Istanbul, killing 35 people and wounding 40. Read the latest here.
- Big Ben chimed as fireworks exploded around the London Eye to signal the start of the new year.
- US president-elect Donald Trump wished a Happy New Year to “all, including to my many enemies and those who have fought me and lost so badly they just don’t know what to do. Love!”.
- Queen Elizabeth has not been seen in public for 11 days since she and Prince Philip sustained heavy colds, missing the New Year church service.
