Three states carried out executions on the same day, a pattern last seen in 2010. Alabama, Florida and Indiana each put a death sentence to death on Thursday. Guardado had pleaded guilty to stabbing a 75‑year‑old woman in her Walton County home in 2004 and stealing her jewelry, cash and other items.

Eva Geller, 90, has died in the hospital nearly a year after being shot during the Bondi Beach terror attack. She was wounded on 14 December 2025 during a Hanukkah festival. A senior Jewish community source said she had been in and out of the hospital for treatment of those injuries before passing away.

Here's Theo with business, and a tough winter for some households.
