Vehicle plows into crowded Christmas market in Germany, killing 2 and injuring dozens

A car crashed through a busy Christmas market in eastern Germany on Friday, killing at least two people and injuring over 60 more. According to a local official, the accused driver—a Saudi Arabian doctor who resided in Germany—was taken into custody. There was no continuous danger to the public, and the suspect acted alone. Because of the severity of some of the injuries, the official did not rule out more deaths. According to the official, one adult and one child are among the victims. A vehicle was seen rushing past a sizable crowd of shoppers in a brief video of the incident that was geolocated to the eastern German city of Magdeburg and posted on X.

FDA approves weight loss drug Zepbound for sleep apnea

Eli Lilly, the manufacturer of Zepbound, announced on Friday that the Food and Drug Administration had extended the medication's approval to treat obstructive sleep apnea in obese adults.
