President Trump says he spoke directly with Vladimir Putin, the first conversation between the leaders of the two nations since before the 2022 invasion of Ukraine. The conversation comes on the heels of the release of a prisoner exchange. Even President Trump says the newly freed American has his mother to thank for it. Plus, Elon Musk has 12 children by three different women - and one of those kids has been a constant presence during his father's time as President Trump’s advisor - even sitting on dad's shoulders yesterday in the Oval Office. Musk has been accused on social media of using his four year old as a prop - and the boy's mother doesn’t approve either. And the Kansas City Chiefs are still dealing with what could be called 'the agony of defeat' following Sunday’s Super Bowl loss. And among the unhappy is Travis Kelce, who says 'he's kicking himself.'

Did he get away with murder? That's the question being asked about a 17-year-old after he was acquitted in the murder of his mother. That court decision came after he'd already killed his father, police say, in self-defense. And every year before the Super Bowl the NFL holds an award show and former New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick, who's 72, showed up with his 24-year-old girlfriend who had a Super Bowl ring on her finger.

Overcrowded and understaffed-- that's what critics say has been the state of affairs at Washington’s Reagan National Airport -- and Wednesday night it turned deadly. But in the wake of the tragic crash between an army chopper and that American Airlines jet, we've learned of a number of near misses between helicopters and planes.

Recovery teams have spent the day in the frigid waters outside Reagan National Airport, engaged in the grim activity of retrieving the 67 victims of last night's deadly collision between an army Blackhawk helicopter and an American Airlines plane. Among the victims, figure skaters returning from a training camp in Kansas. And according to The New York Times, a preliminary investigation into the crash shows the air traffic control tower was understaffed. The report says the controller handling helicopters was also directing commercial planes, jobs usually assigned to two separate people. Plus, the Blackhawk helicopter involved in the crash is known as the workhorse of the military. Powered by two turbine engines, it can climb 19-thousand feet and lift more than nine thousand pounds. Now, it's at the center of the first major crisis for the new Trump administration. And the crash was similar to the crash back in 1982 - when an Air Florida jet crashed into the Potomac in the middle of a very snowy day in January when the jet, weighed down by ice, couldn't get airborne and crashed into the 14th Street Bridge.

The second presidency of Donald Trump ended its first night in a wave of glamour. The president and first lady attended three inaugural balls and there was this charming moment when members of the military cut in to dance with them. And, candidate Trump promised immediate change if elected - and today he made good on that with more than 1,000 Biden era appointees being shown the door. Plus, in his first hours as president, Trump also made good on his pledge to release those convicted of crimes connected with the January 6th Capitol riot. Outside the Washington jail where many are being held, it was a celebratory scene. And, with the cold wave that's gripping so much of the country, there are plenty of warnings about avoiding frostbite by covering exposed skin outside. There's also a risk for exposed skin indoors.

Donald Trump was sworn in as our 47th president, pledging to put America first every day he is in office. For the first time in four decades, the inauguration was indoors. President Trump says he made the call because of the frigid temperatures, and while it may have been much smaller in scale, the majesty of the Capitol Rotunda made up for it. And due to the freezing weather the president and first lady will attend an indoor rally instead of the traditional parade, and tonight they will dance at a number of inaugural balls. It all started off with the big “make America great again” victory rally featuring the president-elect and the Village People whose song, "YMCA" has been Trump's theme song on the campaign trail. Plus, President Trump promised a host of actions immediately after taking office - on immigration, closing the border with Mexico, and renaming the body of water to the west of Florida.

A Los Angeles homeowner has spray painted a sign with a loud and clear message: Looters will be shot. With the LAPD announcing they've made 40 arrests during the fires for burglary and other crimes, citizens are taking action themselves - confronting anyone they don't recognize in their neighborhoods in case they are even thinking of looting the burnt-out properties.

California has been dealing with an arson crime wave with 150 arrests made last year alone.
