Amid heightened security concerns at large gatherings, the FBI said it foiled a terror plot that was set to take place in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. Authorities arrested four people who were allegedly planning to detonate pipe bombs at buildings around the city.

Here’s what else you need to know to get up to speed and on with your day.

1⃣ Rob Reiner death investigation

Nick Reiner is “responsible” for the deaths of his parents, legendary Hollywood director Rob Reiner and producer Michele Singer Reiner, Los Angeles police said. The 32-year-old was booked on suspicion of murder and is being held without bail. A source said Reiner was seen arguing with his father at a holiday party at Conan O’Brien’s home on Saturday. A day later, the beloved Hollywood couple was found dead in their Brentwood residence. The double homicide case will be presented to the Los Angeles County district attorney today, when prosecutors will decide what charges to pursue.

2⃣ Bondi Beach attack

New details are emerging about the two suspects in the Bondi Beach massacre and their likely links to ISIS. Authorities say the father and son duo accused of carrying out the Hanukkah attack had recently traveled to an island in the Philippines known for Islamist insurgency. Counterterrorism officials believe the alleged gunmen underwent military style training while there. The two suspects targeted Jewish Australians celebrating the first night of Hanukkah, authorities said. The attack, which killed 15 people, is Australia’s worst mass shooting in almost 30 years.

3⃣ Brown University shooter

A manhunt is underway for the suspect in the deadly shooting at Brown University on Saturday, which left two students dead and nine others injured. On Monday, authorities released photos and videos of a new person of interest suspected of opening fire on the Ivy League campus. The individual is described as approximately 5’8” with a stocky build. A $50,000 reward is being offered for information leading to an arrest and conviction. Another person of interest detained in connection with the attack has since been released and cleared in the investigation.

4⃣ Boat strikes

The US military carried out strikes against three alleged drug-trafficking boats in the Pacific Ocean on Monday, killing eight people, according to US Southern Command. At least 95 people have now been killed in strikes on suspected drug vessels as part of a campaign that the Trump administration says is aimed at curbing narcotics trafficking. An all-senators briefing on the strikes is scheduled for today and will include Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. With the operation under growing scrutiny, Hegseth has defended the military’s actions in the Caribbean, saying they demonstrate “the strength of American resolve.”

(CNN) — Organizers of the Los Angeles 2028 (LA28) Summer Olympics have promised that there will be affordable tickets for the Games that start in less than three years time.

On Monday, LA28 announced fans would be able to register for tickets from January 14, 2026 and that at least one million would be priced at $28, according to Reuters.

“Every sport starts at $28 and that’s not just lip service to a couple tickets in the corner of some venue, but a meaningful number of tickets,” said Allison Katz-Mayfield, LA28’s senior vice president of Games delivery revenue, per Reuters.

“We’re looking at at least a million tickets at $28 and we’ve got about a third of our tickets under $100.”

After fans register on January 14, they will enter into a random ticket draw and hope to receive a time slot in which to purchase tickets later in 2026.

FIFA World Cup criticism

LA28’s decision comes amid widespread criticism of soaring ticket prices for next year’s FIFA World Cup.

Global soccer governing body FIFA launched its third phase of ticket sales last week, with fans discovering the cheapest seat for the final would cost them more than $4,000.

Amid the backlash, FIFA said five million ticket requests were made in the first 24 hours of the third phase being launched and confirmed it would reinvest the revenue it generates “to fuel the growth of football.”

FIFA, though, had also promised it would be an affordable World Cup for fans, so many Olympic enthusiasts might wait to see a confirmed list of prices for LA28 before getting too excited.

CNN Sports has reached out to LA28 for comment about when a confirmed list of prices will be made available but has not yet received a reply.

Los Angeles has already hosted two Olympics, in 1932 and 1984, with venues for the latest edition laid out across the sprawling city.

The next Summer Olympics will begin on July 14, 2028 with the opening ceremony and will run until July 30, 2028. The Paralympic Games will begin on August 15, 2028 and close on August 27, 2028.
