Fox News: Caravan of 1,500 migrants forms in Mexico
A caravan of around 1,500 migrants, primarily from Central and South America, has formed in southern Mexico, aiming to reach the U.S. before President-elect Trump takes office in January. Many are motivated by fears of stricter immigration policies and hope to secure quicker appointments for entry.
Despite a recent drop in border encounters, concerns remain that the change in administration could prompt a surge in migration. The U.S. government has expanded the use of the CBP One app to facilitate appointments for entry, but many migrants still prefer to be near the border to increase their chances of crossing.

GB News: Motorists could be given six-month driving restrictions amid growing support for Labour to act
MPs in Cumbria are advocating for the introduction of Graduate Driving Licences (GDL) to impose stricter rules on newly qualified drivers. This push follows a tragic incident involving a young driver and aims to reduce road casualties, with evidence from other countries showing significant reductions in serious incidents.
The proposed GDL would restrict drivers under 21 from carrying peer-age passengers for the first six months and require "G" plates on their vehicles. The Department for Transport acknowledges the issue but is not currently considering GDL, instead exploring other measures to protect young drivers.
