Kim Jong-un and his daughter entered North Korea's May Day Stadium hand in hand to watch a New Year's Eve performance, sitting alongside senior officials.

The New Year's Eve performance included ice skating and singing, a shift away from the traditional "mass games," which once featured synchronised dancing and gymnastics.

The event ended with a countdown to midnight and fireworks, during which Kim Jong-un and his daughter hugged and kissed as the new year started.

While North Korea previously broadcasted live fireworks displays, it has mostly stopped airing such events since 2018.

Ten years after she seemingly hung it up for good, Cameron Diaz returns to the big screen—or, at least, Netflix—with Back in Action, an action comedy that pairs her with her Annie co-star Jamie Foxx. She should have stayed retired. A drearily formulaic comeback vehicle that’s been sitting on a shelf for nearly two years and boasts not a single original, amusing, or exciting moment, director Seth Gordon’s feature is a hodgepodge of the hoariest of clichés, none of which have been fresh since the
