Fox News contributor Katie Pavlich joined'America's Newsroom' to discuss Zelenskyy's visit to the White House to request additional aid in the war against Russia. Russian forces continued to wage war on Ukraine over the holiday weekend, with more than 40 missiles being launched into Ukrainian towns on Christmas day, according to Ukraine's military. According to Russian news agencies, which cited the country's defense ministry, three Russian military personnel were killed Monday by falling wreckage of a Ukrainian drone that was shot down as it was on its way to attack a base in Russia's Saratov region. Russian President Vladimir Putin reiterated Sunday that he was open to negotiations and accused Ukraine and its Western allies of not engaging in talks.

Australia has reported its first confirmed death from the new Omicron variant of COVID-19 amid another surge in daily infections. The authorities, however, refrained from imposing new restrictions, saying hospital admission rates remained low. The death on Monday of a man in his 80s with underlying health conditions marked a grim milestone for Australia that has had to reverse some parts of a staged reopening after nearly two years of stop-start lockdowns due to the fresh outbreak. Omicron, which health experts say appears more contagious but less virulent than previous strains, began to spread in the country just as it lifted restrictions on most domestic borders and allowed Australians to return from overseas without quarantine, driving case numbers to the highest levels since the start of the pandemic.

That Cyber Monday special from Best Buy sounds really enticing. Which may not be a catch at all, but it is something worth considering. Because if you have Amazon Echo speakers throughout your home, you won't be able to use them to talk to your new TCL TV. As all TV sales now tend to be "smart," they operate on different software platforms, ones you need to consider before making your purchase. Before you buy a Roku-branded TV, I have three words for you: "Wonder Woman 1984."

We all remember that one Christmas present we got as a kid. The one we'd begged our parents for all year, the one we'd looked up 100 times in the Argos catalogue or on Amazon, depending on our age … For many of us, that present was a games machine. Whether it was a ZX Spectrum or a PlayStation 2, the process of unpacking these technological marvels, getting our mums and dads to set them up, then finally playing with the whole family, was magical. We asked game developers, gaming journalists and Guardian readers to share their favourite memories of receiving a games console at Christmas. "I think it was 1997. We had a normal Christmas, woke up, opened presents, had dinner as always – super nice. Anyway, it got to around bedtime and me and my little brother went to brush our teeth and get ready. All of a sudden, my dad calls to us: 'Boys!? What's this?' He's shouting from our bedroom. Confused, me and my brother head in and Dad's like, 'How did you miss this? Under the bed!' We look and there's a big present all wrapped up. We were so confused, but ecstatic. We opened it and … it was a Nintendo N64. We stayed up an extra hour setting it up and playing Super Mario 64 for the first time with Dad on the bedroom floor. "My mam told me two weeks before Christmas that the shops had sold out of Sega Saturns.

It seems Amazon's Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals on Amazon Echos were both a blessing and a curse. The smart speakers were obviously a popular gift, so popular in fact that the surge in voice requests on Christmas Day overburdened Amazon's servers, causing Alexa to crash, reports The Guardian. Outage tracking website Down Detector noted spikes in the UK, Germany and other parts of Europe. It seems the issue has now been resolved and was limited to those regions with no problems being reported in the US, at least not yet. The blackout follows a widespread Alexa outage in Europe in September.

Santa and his reindeer got nothing on Rey, Finn and Poe. Moviegoers may have been immersed in holiday parties and preparations in the days leading up to Christmas, but they still filled theaters for some Jedi Knight magic. As expected, "Star Wars: The Last Jedi" held the top spot at the box office over the weekend. Director Rian Johnson's distinctive take on the sci-fi franchise has been equally lauded by critics and audiences alike. With its 92% fresh score on Rotten Tomatoes and A rating on CinemaScore, "Star Wars: The Last Jedi" is flying as high as Santa this Christmas.

Call it moviegoers hungry for a sassy robot and some daring acts of galactic rebellion. For the second Christmas movie season in a row a "Star Wars" franchise film has dominated the holiday box office. Also for the second year in a row, North American ticket sales are projected to exceed $11 billion, according to the entertainment data firm ComScore. And as the year comes to a close, 2016 is expected to see a 1.5% increase in ticket sales over 2015 ($11.3 billion versus $11.1 billion). That puts the Gareth Edwards-directed action flick, set just before the events of George Lucas' 1970s trilogy, well above the Disney film's approximately $200-million production budget.
