Jeb Bush explores 2016 US presidential run

Jeb Bush is actively exploring a run for the US presidency in 2016, making the former Florida governor with the famous political last name one of the first major Republicans to formally move toward a possible candidacy."It's just part of the process of seriously considering running for President. I'm really kind of focused on Christmas right now to be honest with you. I haven't had much time to go Christmas shopping and do the things that I want to do for my family. But, it, I'm gonna, at the proper time, listen to people and see if my message can resonate and that will be beginning next year. Right now, I'm going to chill out a little bit," Jeb Bush said in an interview with WTVJ on Tuesday (December 16) in Florida.

UN's Ban condemns 'heinous' Pakistan school attack

UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon condemned a deadly Taliban attack on a Pakistan school on Tuesday (December 16) as "an act of horror and rank cowardice to attack defenceless children while they learn.""No cause can justify such brutality. No grievance can excuse such horror," Ban said. "Getting an education is every child's right. Going to school should not have to be an act of bravery."At least 130 people, most of them children, were killed on Tuesday after Taliban gunmen broke into a school in the Pakistani city of Peshawar and opened fire, witnesses said, in the bloodiest massacre the country has seen for years.

'Lone Wolf' Australian hostage-taker had violent, unsettled past

Australia's Prime Minister says the self-styled sheikh behind an 'appalling and ugly' siege at a Sydney cafe was "deeply disturbed.""This has been an absolutely appalling and ugly incident. That's the only way to describe it, an appalling and ugly incident. Our hearts go out to the families of Katrina Dawson and Tori Johnson. These were decent, good people, who were going about their ordinary lives. It's about as innocent a thing as anyone can do to go and grab a cup of coffee before the working day has fully started. Decent, innocent people who got caught up in the sick fantasy of a deeply disturbed individual," he said.
