Holiday Briefing: Welcome to 2025
Good morning, and happy new year. We’re covering what to expect from 2025 and U.S. strikes on the Houthi militia in Yemen. Plus: You shared the New Year's resolutions that stuck.
Welcome to 2025It’s been a year, hasn’t it? There was a lot to cover. Donald Trump stormed back to the White House after his felony conviction. The wars in the Middle East and Ukraine raged on. A.I. became an even bigger part of our lives. Evan Gershkovich, a journalist at The Wall Street Journal, was freed after being imprisoned by Russia. Paris made for a stunning backdrop for this year’s Olympic Games. And Charli XCX’s Brat album swept the internet, becoming the soundtrack of the summer. With a new year upon us, we hope you’re able to take a moment to reflect not only on the big and difficult moments of this year, but also on small pockets of joy. However you chose to celebrate last night, we hope you closed out the year on a high note — or, at least, a calm one. As we bid farewell to 2024, I have my own goodbye to say — this is my final edition of the Asia Morning Briefing. It has been a joy bringing you the news every morning and connecting with you all. Thank you for reading. — Gaya For a strong start to the year:
