Unidentified crash investigators inspect the nose section of the crashed Pan Am flight 103 in a field near Lockerbie, Scotland, Dec. 23, 1988.

The man alleged to have transported the bomb that brought down Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland, in 1988 that killed 270 people, is now in US custody. And, Canadian hospitals are struggling to cope with a recent surge in respiratory viruses, with children’s hospitals being especially hard-hit. Also, nurses in Northern Ireland walked off the job today, with more strikes planned in the UK throughout the rest of the month. Plus, a pair of dogs that North Korean leader Kim Jong-un gave South Korean president Moon Jae-in four years ago are now at a zoo in South Korea after a dispute over who should pay to care for them.
