December 30, 2021: Ghislaine Maxwell guilty, Putin, Biden, CDC, Omicron variant, China’s Xian lockdown 1. Ghislaine Maxwell was found guilty by a U.S. jury of helping the late financier Jeffrey Epstein sexually abuse teenage girls, sealing a remarkable fall from grace for the British socialite. 2. U.S. President Joe Biden and Russian President Vladimir Putin will speak on Thursday, the White House said, as Washington crafts a common response to Russia's military build-up on the Ukraine border with European allies. 3. COVID-19 deaths and hospitalizations are "comparatively" low as the highly infectious Omicron variant of the coronavirus spreads, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Director Rochelle Walensky said as cases in the United States reached a record high. 4. A key part of the immune system's second-line defense - its T cells - are highly effective at recognizing and attacking the Omicron variant, thereby preventing most infections from progressing to critical illness, a new study shows. 5. China's industrial and tech hub of Xian reported more than 100 new cases of COVID-19, taking its tally of locally transmitted infections to the highest in any Chinese city this year. #GhislaineMaxwell #JeffreyEpstein #Putin #Russia #Europe #Omicron #CDC #China #WhiteHouse #Xian #Lockdown #US #UnitedStates #Biden #News #Reuters Subscribe: http://smarturl.it/reuterssubscribe Reuters brings you the latest business, finance and breaking news video from around the globe.
