A young girl’s destructive rampage through a Walmart has gone viral, with a jaw-dropping video capturing her smashing bottles, wrecking displays, and wreaking havoc while stunned onlookers questioned where her guardians were. The video begins with the girl, appearing to be without supervision, pulling items off shelves and hurling them to the floor. Her antics culminated at the deli counter, where she writhed on the ground as two women attempted to restrain her. Their efforts were met with protests from a bystander, possibly the child’s guardian, who defended the girl’s behavior with the remark: “You don’t know what she’s going through!” The chaos escalated when the girl reached a Kedem sparkling grape juice display.

NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte on Tuesday sidestepped questions about Ukraine’s possible membership of the military alliance, saying that the priority now must be to strengthen the country’s hand in any future peace talks with Russia by sending it more weapons. Rutte’s remarks, ahead of a meeting of NATO foreign ministers, came days after President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that extending alliance membership to territory now under Kyiv’s control could end “the hot stage” of the almost 3-year war in Ukraine, where Russian forces are pressing deeper into their western neighbor. “The front is not moving eastwards. It is slowly moving westwards,” Rutte said.

German authorities are moving ahead with efforts to prosecute a 100-year-old former Nazi concentration camp guard, nearly 80 years after the end of World War II. The higher regional court in Frankfurt overturned an earlier decision deeming the suspect, identified as Gregor Formanek by German media, unfit to stand trial. Formanek was charged last year with aiding and abetting the murder of 3,322 people during his time as a guard at the Sachsenhausen concentration camp near Berlin between July 1943 and February 1945. A court in Hanau, Hesse state, had declined to open proceedings, citing an expert’s assessment in February that claimed Formanek’s mental and physical condition rendered him unable to face trial.

A British chef has urged thieves who stole a van with 2,500 savory pies inside to “do the right thing” and donate the edible loot to the needy. Tommy Banks, who owns two Michelin-starred restaurants and a pub in the northern English county of Yorkshire, said a member of staff discovered the van was missing, along with its cargo of steak and ale, turkey and butternut squash pies intended for a holiday market in the city of York. The food has been valued at 25,000 pounds ($32,000). Banks said the van was insured, but he implored the vehicle thieves not to let the food go to waste. In an Instagram video, he suggested they drop the pies at a community center or other venue.

In a major blow to Attorney-General Gali Baharav-Miara and the State Prosecutor’s Office, Tel Aviv District Court Judge Ala Masarwa said on Tuesday that there is “evidential weakness” regarding the claim attributed to Eli Feldstein in the indictment against him – that he intended to harm state security. Masarwa presided over a hearing on Tuesday afternoon regarding the State Prosecutor’s Office’s request to extend the detention for Feldstein and the other defendant in the case of the classified document leak from the Prime Minister’s Office. Masarwa said that there is strong evidence regarding the offenses of transferring classified information and disseminating it via media outlets but the evidence is weak that Feldstein is guilty of intending to harm state security.

President Joe Biden on Tuesday ducked questions on his decision to break his word and pardon his son Hunter, ignoring calls for him to explain his reversal as he was making his first presidential trip to Angola. Dismissing shouted questions with a laugh during a meeting with Angolan President João Lourenço at the presidential palace, Biden said to the Angolan delegation “welcome to America.” Biden was not scheduled to take questions from the press during his trip to Africa, press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters on Monday, and he has largely avoided any interaction with reporters since President-elect Donald Trump’s victory last month.

China announced Tuesday it is banning exports to the United States of gallium, germanium, antimony and other key high-tech materials with potential military applications, as a general principle, lashing back at U.S. limits on semiconductor-related exports. The Chinese Commerce Ministry announced the move after the Washington expanded its list of Chinese companies subject to export controls on computer chip-making equipment, software and high-bandwidth memory chips. Such chips are needed for advanced applications. The ratcheting up of trade restrictions comes as President-elect Donald Trump has been threatening to sharply raise tariffs on imports from China and other countries, potentially intensifying simmering tensions over trade and technology.

In a scathing 520-page final report, the Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic laid bare the failings of public health officials, federal agencies, and private organizations during the COVID-19 pandemic. Titled “After Action Review of the COVID-19 Pandemic: The Lessons Learned and a Path Forward,” the report highlights widespread corruption, mismanagement, and negligence that plagued the pandemic response and cost American taxpayers billions of dollars. The report harshly critiques key public health figures, including Dr. Anthony Fauci, for allegedly orchestrating efforts to suppress the lab-leak theory and steer the narrative toward a natural origin of COVID-19.

South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol declared an “emergency martial law,” Tuesday accusing the country’s opposition of controlling the parliament, sympathizing with North Korea and paralyzing the government with anti-state activities. Yoon made the announcement during a televised briefing, vowing to “eradicate pro-North Korean forces and protect the constitutional democratic order.” It wasn’t immediately clear how the steps would affect the country’s governance and democracy. Yoon — whose approval rating has dipped in recent months — has struggled to push his agenda against an opposition-controlled parliament since taking office in 2022. Yoon’s conservative People Power Party had been locked in an impasse with the liberal opposition Democratic Party over next year’s budget bill.

General Motors is adding over 132,000 heavy-duty pickups in the U.S. to a previous recall for tailgate release switches that can short circuit and open the gates while the trucks are in park. The recall adds certain 2024 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra 2500 and 3500 trucks to a February recall of 323,000 heavy duty pickups. Only trucks with a manual gate and power lock and release are affected. The company says in documents posted Tuesday by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that water can get into the electronic gate release switches, causing the gates to unlatch. If that happens, cargo can fall into the road and become a hazard. The trucks in the new recall were added after the company found 237 field reports of tailgates opening unexpectedly.
