News Wrap: Death toll in Australian wildfires rises to 17
In our news wrap Wednesday, New Year’s Day brought only slight relief to parts of Australia ravaged by some of the country’s worst-ever wildfires. The death toll rose to 17. Also, the Taliban staged a series of attacks on Afghan security forces, killing at least 26. Taliban officials had previously said they agreed to a cease-fire but gave no start date, and there has been no decline in violence.
