On Christmas Day in America, an eight-year old boy detainee from Guatemala died in government custody.  The boy "showed signs of illness", and was taken with his immigrant father from one of Donald Trump's border detention camps to a hospital in New Mexico.  There, doctors gave him a painkiller and some antibiotics and after 90 minutes, sent them back to detention.  But the Border Patrol returned the kid to hospital on Monday night; by Tuesday morning, he was dead.  "This is inexcusable," said, Xochitl Torres Small, the area's US Congresswoman.  "Instead of immediately acting to keep children and all of us safe along our border, this administration forced a government shutdown over a wall."  This happened on the same day of the funeral for seven-year old Jakelin Caal Maquin, the first Guatemalan child to die in the custody of Trump's border camps.

Israeli jets flying over Lebanon fired missiles into Syria, targeting a purported arms depots that belong to the Iranian Revolutionary Guards and their allies, the Lebanese Shi'ite movement Hezbollah.  Syria says its missile defenses intercepted most of the weapons, although other sources say they hit their mark.  Later, Israel said its Iron Dome defenses stopped a missile launched out of Syria. 

Thailand's parliament has voted to approve cannabis for medical use, restoring local traditions prior to the prohibition in 1930.  Recreational use is still banned.  Southeast Asia has some of the world's strictest anti-marijuana laws, making this move an anomaly in the region.

The death toll in Indonesia's latest tsunami is 429 lives lost, and it's probably going to go higher.  The government says it will build a new warning system capable of detecting tsunamis caused by undersea landslides, with undersea buoys getting installed early next year.

Officials had to call off helicopters dumping water on a Christmas bushfire in Tasmania because someone was operating a drone aircraft in the flight area.  The ABC says the blaze burned 130 hectares on Bruny Island, with about 150 people evacuated from the southern end of the island.  Police said the drone was being controlled from the Kettering oval area but have not confirmed if the operator was charged over the drone use near the fire area.

The British couple cleared in the Gatwick Airport drone debacle are not very happy with the media.  An unknown actor flew large, industrial drone aircraft over Britain's second-busiest airport last week, forcing two days of flight cancellations and stranding thousands of passengers.  West Sussex couple Paul Gait and Elaine Kirk were named by police when they were brought in for questioning.  "Our home has been searched, and our privacy and identity completely exposed," said Mr. Gait, "Our names, photos, and other personal information, has been broadcast throughout the world," adding that the pair feels "completely violated".  I wonder why: The Daily Mail referred to them as "morons".  But cops released the two without charges, and the case remains a mystery.  Hey, when CareerSpot reported it, we included the statements of your friends who doubted the investigation.  Don't sue us.  We cool.  CareerSpot, the news source you can trust.
