Why a promising treatment for alcohol abuse is barely used In our ongoing look at treating substance abuse in America, we turn to the most commonly used drug, and one of the deadliest: alcohol. Drinking kills more Americans every year than opioids or any other illegal drug. But promising treatments that could help people curb their drinking are barely being used. William Brangham reports. If you are in crisis, call the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Hotline-- 988. #pbsnewshour #newshour #pbsnews #addiction #addictionrecovery #addictiontreatment #alcohol #substanceabuse #drugabuse #news #healthcare #treatment #drinking

The Federal Bureau of Investigation said Wednesday afternoon that it is investigating an attack in New Orleans' French Quarter as an act of terrorism and believes the suspect had help. Police killed the suspect — identified by the FBI as 42-year-old Shamsud-Din Jabbar, a U.S. citizen from Texas — in a firefight after he drove a pickup truck into a crowd of people, killing at least 10 people and injuring more than 30. Alethea Duncan, an assistant special agent in charge of the FBI’s New Orleans field office, said an Islamic State flag was "located on the trailer hitch of the vehicle." The truck also contained weapons and potential improvised explosive devices (IEDs), she said. IEDs were also found in the French Quarter, Duncan said. "As of now, two IEDs have been found and rendered safe," she said. The FBI was also working to identify the suspect's possible associates. "We're working to ensure that there is no further threat," Duncan said. "We do not believe that Jabbar was solely responsible. We are actively running down every lead, including those of his known associates." The Sugar Bowl-- a college football playoff game-- between the University of Notre Dame and the University of Georgia, which was due to be played tonight at the Superdome in New Orleans, has been postponed to Thursday.

A fierce winter storm is barreling across the country, with more than 70 million Americans under winter weather alerts Sunday night and 4 million facing blizzard conditions. At least six governors have declared states of emergency amid bitter cold winds and heavy snow. In the coming days, frigid temperatures are expected as far south as Florida." Every type of hazard is on the table with this system," Matthew Cappucci, senior meteorologist at MyRadar, told PBS News' William Brangham. The potential for power outages and an icy mix of freezing rain, snow and sleet are among the dangerous conditions accompanying the storm.

A pair of NASA astronauts who have been stuck at the International Space Station since June will have to wait a little longer to come back to Earth. Their voyage that was originally supposed to last about a week has now lasted more than nine months. NASA says astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams won’t return now until late March or even April, as they wait once again for a new capsule to send in their replacements. The two traveled to the International Space Station on a spaceship manufactured by Boeing called the Starliner but the spaceship encountered an array of problems which lead NASA to ultimately deem it unsafe for them to return to Earth on it. PBS News Hour’s Geoffrey Bennett and science correspondent Miles O’Brien discussed the astronauts' predicament as well as the long-term psychological and health effects that can come with prolonged stays in space. #pbsnewshour #pbsnews #newshour #space #astronaut #iss #internationalspacestation #science #boeing #nasa #news #starliner

The House passed a stopgap funding bill late Friday to keep the federal government running through March 2025. The package includes $100 billion in disaster aid and $10 billion in economic assistance to farmers, but does not include President-elect Donald Trump’s last-minute demand to lift the debt ceiling. The measure now goes to the Senate for approval, hours before a government shutdown deadline at midnight.

Congressional leaders are scrambling to prevent a government shutdown after the House of Representatives failed to pass a stopgap funding bill Thursday with hours left before the deadline. Democrats and dozens of Republicans voted against President-elect Donald Trump's plan to fund federal operations and suspend the debt ceiling. This comes after Trump and billionaire Elon Musk, whom Trump has enlisted the help of in this transition to the White House, criticized the original bipartisan plan House Speaker Mike Johnson reached earlier this week. Johnson said the House is expected to vote again Friday morning on a measure to keep the government funded temporarily.

Supreme Court to hear TikTok ban appeal The Supreme Court this week agreed to hear an appeal from TikTok over the federal law that could lead to a ban on the social media app. The law was passed in April with bipartisan support in Congress over national security concerns given the company is Chinese-owned. TikTok’s Chinese parent company, ByteDance, was given until January 19 to sell the app to a non-Chinese owned company. ByteDance says the federal law violates freedom of speech rights under the First Amendment. Oral arguments before the Supreme Court are now set for January 10. #tiktok #tiktokban #tiktokusban #usban #ustiktok #bytedance #tiktokupdate #freespeech #socialmediaban #pbsnews #newshour #pbsnewshour #tiktoknews #tiktokbanappeal
