The new year arrives in Anchorage. I'm Carmen Roberts, Fox News. Folks in Alaska now making New Year's resolutions. Earlier in New York's Times Square, about one million revelers braved the rain to welcome the new year. Five, four, three, two, one.
It's called the crossroads of the world and some call it the biggest party in the world. Fox's Nate Foy tells us about the scene earlier in Times Square. We have a million people from all over the world ringing in 2025 here when they are braving the rain, which is...
Sort of funny because you're not allowed to bring in an umbrella. Many of them have been waiting in line since 6 a.m. So that shows you how excited they are and how much they want to be here. People having a lot of fun. The NYPD keeping everything under control. But things got out of control during a New Year's Eve celebration in Massachusetts where a Lego display collapsed into a crowded arcade. Oh, my God! Whoa!
Police in Peabody say 10 people suffered minor injuries yesterday when somebody apparently pulled too hard to release the balloons, causing the display to fall over. A tense, hours-long standoff in Los Angeles ended yesterday with police arrested a man they say shot and injured two security guards at a Target store while he was shoplifting. LAPD Captain Raul Jovel.
This is what we fear when we have shoplifters is this deadly confrontations where somebody pulls a gun. Authorities say he tried stuffing a suitcase with about $1,500 worth of merchandise and walking out, but was confronted by security, then started shooting. Matthew Seedorf with Fox 11 Los Angeles. Police did not release the suspect's name. America's listening to Fox News.

The Kremlin is already rejecting a reported peace plan by President-elect Trump to end the war in Ukraine. Russia's foreign minister says the Kremlin is not happy with proposals made by the incoming Trump administration reporting to leaks of a plan that would suspend NATO membership for Ukraine for at least 20 years and position European peacekeepers in the country.
No deal has been announced by American officials. In an interview with Russia's state-run TASS news agency, Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov blamed NATO expansion for the Russian invasion. President-elect Trump has said he can quickly end the war, telling Time magazine there is an advantage for both sides.
He also said he strongly disagreed with the Biden administration's decision allowing Ukraine to fire U.S. supplied weapons into Russia. In Washington, Jared Halpern, Fox News. After Blake Lively ends the year by filing a federal lawsuit, she's suing Justin Bologna.

An investigation's underway after several workers were sickened at a New Mexico cheese factory. It wasn't pungent cheese they were inhaling, but something much more dangerous. Investigators in Curry County, about 250 miles east of Albuquerque, New Mexico, say fumes leaked from an acid and chlorine mixture. Twenty workers at Southwest Cheese inhaled those fumes at the company's plant.
More than a dozen had to be taken to the hospital Monday morning. Two workers are in critical condition. In a statement, Southwest Cheese says a mechanical failure caused a chemical overflow resulting in the dangerous fumes. Tom Graham, Fox News. And I'm Carmen Roberts, and this is Fox News.
