January 1, 2025 - PBS News Hour full episode

Season 2025 Episode 1 | 57m 46s

Wednesday on the News Hour, New Year's celebrations turned to horror as a driver tore through Bourbon Street in New Orleans, killing and wounding multiple people. Then, we examine Jimmy Carter's global health legacy as the late president's goal of eradicating a tropical disease appears within reach. Plus, new research shows exercise could be the "most potent medical intervention ever known.”
