But we start in New Orleans, which was hit by a suspected terror attack just after 3am into the new Year.
There have been a number of developments since the coverage in our earlier podcast.
The coroner of the city now says at least 15 people were killed when a pickup truck plowed into revelers in Bourbon street in the French Quarter of the city.
After crashing the vehicle, the driver opened fire before being shot dead by police.
At a news conference, FBI Special Agent Alethea Duncan said investigators didn't believe he was acting alone.
The subject has been identified as 42 year old Samsud Dim Jabbar, a US born citizen from Texas.
He was driving a Ford pickup truck which appears to be rented.
And we are working to confirm how the subject came in possession of this vehicle.
