The state's worst grades went to energy, inland waterways, roads and stormwater, all receiving a D. California roads are often picked on for being some of the worst in the country, and according to the report, about a third of the state's roads are in poor condition. Bridges also fared poorly in the report with a grade of C-. More than 65% of the structures are older than 50 years, the typical lifespan, and need significant reinvestment to ensure their longevity. Even the Golden Gate Bridge, one of the state's biggest tourist attractions, still needs to secure more funding to finish an ongoing retrofitting project. Earlier this year, a report from the National Transportation Safety Board found that seven California bridges had an "unknown level of risk" for collapse. read more

The New Year's Eve concert on the Champs lyses has been cancelled for security reasons. Paris was supposed to host its usual spectacle. A free open-air concert at the Arc de Triomphe, video projections on the monument and the midnight festivities that once drew close to a million people. Instead, the concert has been scrapped. It will be replaced on national television with a prerecorded concert filmed weeks ago with a handpicked crowd to mimic a celebration Paris no longer believes it can safely host. A capital once famed for its public life now performs it under studio conditions. read more

Today, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Homeland Security Investigations, and the United States Coast Guard, with support from the Department of War, executed a seizure warrant for a crude oil tanker used to transport sanctioned oil from Venezuela and Iran. For multiple years, the oil tanker has been sanctioned by the United States due to its involvement in an illicit oil shipping network supporting foreign terrorist organizations.

Under the "law of the sea" " UNCLOS " any stateless vessel can be stopped and boarded by any nation. No permission required.
MarineTraffic showed it flying a Guyana flag, but that's just self-reported AIS data.
