A Brooklyn woman jumped from the roof of a 12-story Hell's Kitchen building on Sunday while clutching her 5-year-old daughter - killing them both, police and friends said.

Oksana Patchin, 39, and the girl, Olivia Patchin, plunged from the building at 540 W. 53rd St. at about 1:40 p.m. and were rushed to St. Luke's Roosevelt Hospital, where they were pronounced dead, police and sources said.

"Everything was going great with her," a family friend said. "I can't believe this. This is terrible."Police sources and building residents said the mother, a Prospect Heights resident, was visiting her friend in the building when she jumped.

Oksana had asked the friend for her key card, claiming she wanted to show her daughter the rooftop view, police sources said. Once on the roof, cameras captured the mother pacing around, before climbing over a safety gate, picking up her daughter and leaping off, sources said.

"It really shook me up that it happened," said a tenant who asked to be identified only as Bryan. "It's very, very disturbing."

According to Oksana's social media profiles, she is a native of Ukraine and later studied accounting in New York.

Law-enforcement sources said the woman divorced her husband over the summer and had been living with her mother. She did not leave a suicide note, sources said.

One tenant at the Hell's Kitchen building came out in tears Sunday and told reporters that the mother had been "very distraught."

The tenant did not provide further details.

The city Administration for Children's Services said it was investigating but could not disclose details of any cases.

Police say a fire in the intensive care unit of a government-run hospital in western India has killed 10 infants

NEW DELHI -- A fire broke out in the intensive care unit of a government-run hospital in western India early Saturday, killing 10 infants, police and news reports said.

A preliminary investigation suggests the fire was caused by an electrical short-circuit, said police officer V.S. Chavan.

The Press Trust of India news agency said the infants were 1 to 3 months old.

Firefighters rescued seven babies from the newborn care unit of the hospital in Bhandara, a town in Maharashtra state nearly 1,000 kilometers (625 miles) south of New Delhi.

The US has reached 4,000 covid-19 in one day which is a new record.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The United States topped 4,000 daily deaths from the coronavirus for the first time

The tally from Johns Hopkins University showed the nation had 4,085 deaths Thursday, along with nearly 275,000 new cases of the virus - evidence that the crisis is growing worse after family gatherings and travel over the holidays and the onset of winter, which is forcing people indoors.

Deaths have reached epic proportions. Since just Monday, the United States has recorded 13,500 deaths - more than Pearl Harbor, D-Day, 9/11 and the 1906 San Francisco earthquake combined.

Britain, with one-fifth the population of the U.S., likewise reported on Friday its highest one-day count of deaths yet: 1,325. That brings the country's toll to nearly 80,000, the highest in Europe.

Overall, the scourge has left more than 365,000 dead in the U.S. and caused nearly 22 million confirmed infections. At least 5.9 million Americans have gotten their first shot of the COVID-19 vaccine, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The goal is to vaccinate hundreds of millions.

Cases and deaths are soaring in California, Arizona, Texas and Florida. Those four states had a combined nearly 1,500 deaths and 80,000 cases on Thursday. Daily records have been set in those states this week as well as in Mississippi and Nevada.

Thursday ranks as one of the deadliest days in U.S. history, with the COVID-19 toll far outstripping the nearly 3,000 killed on 9/11 and exceeding the combined total of nearly 3,900 U.S. lives lost on D-Day and at Pearl Harbor.

Many hospitals in Los Angeles and other hard-hit areas are struggling to keep up and warned they may need to ration lifesaving care. Many nurses are caring for more sick people than typically allowed under the law after the state began issuing waivers to the strict nurse-to-patient ratios.

In Los Angeles County's Henry Mayo Newhall Hospital in Valencia, nurse Nerissa Black said the place is overwhelmed with patients, likening the situation to New York's at the beginning of the pandemic.

She was assigned six patients but could spend only about 10 minutes with each of them per hour, including the time it takes for her to change her protective gear.

"It's very hard to decide which one should I go see first: the patient who has chest pain or the patient whose oxygen level is dropping," she said.

At St. Joseph Hospital south of Los Angeles, nurses in the COVID-19 ward described being overwhelmed as the deaths mount.

"Just today we had two deaths on this unit. And that's pretty much the norm," said Caroline Brandenburger. "I usually see one to two every shift. Super sad." She added: "They fight every day, and they struggle to breathe every day even with tons of oxygen. And then you just see them die. They just die."

Active-duty military medical personnel were dispatched to a Southern California hospital swamped with COVD-19 patients.

About 20 physician assistants, nurses and respiratory care practitioners from the Army and Air Force were sent to Riverside University Health System-Medical Center in response to a state request to the Federal Emergency Management Agency. The 439-bed hospital normally averages 350 patients, but that is now up to 450.

The outbreak has taken another turn for the worse in Arizona, with the state now leading the nation with the highest COVID-19 diagnosis rate. Since Dec. 31, one in every 111 Arizonans has been diagnosed with the virus.

More than 132,000 people nationwide are hospitalized with the virus.

California is telling their people that they should not go more than 120 miles away from their home to stop the spread in the virus.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
California residents are being advised to stay near their homes while the state attempts to curb the continued spread of the coronavirus.

The California Department of Public Health issued updated guidance Wednesday, deterring residents from traveling more than 120 miles from their homes. Non-essential travelers from out of the state, or out of the country, are also being discouraged from coming into the state.

Essential travel is defined by the state as "associated with the operation, maintenance, or usage of critical infrastructure or otherwise required or expressly authorized by law ... including work and study, critical infrastructure support, economic services and supply chains, health, immediate medical care, and safety and security." "Non-essential travel," the state says, includes travel that is considered tourism or recreational in nature.
DAILY CORONAVIRUS CASES IN CALIFORNIA SURGE PASSED 45,000
The advisory update comes as the state's hospitals become increasingly overwhelmed with COVID patients. By the end of the first weekend in January, there were more than 45,000 new cases of the novel coronavirus. California on Friday recorded 36,385 newly confirmed cases of COVID-19 bringing the state's total to date to more than 2.5 million, according to estimates from the COVID Tracking Project.

Anyone visiting or coming back to California from out of state are urged to self-quarantine for 10 days after arriving "except as necessary to meet urgent critical healthcare staffing needs or to otherwise engage in emergency response. Additionally, this recommendation does not apply to individuals who routinely cross state or country borders for essential travel," according to the advisory.

Hospitals look like war zones in Southern California. So much is going on and the hospital doesn't have time to clean so there are things such as blood all over the floor. Resources are running very low so some people have been needing to share oxygen.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
With new signs the highly contagious variant of COVID-19 will continue to spread, paramedics in hard-hit Southern California say they don't think strained hospitals can take much more.

"It's almost like a war zone out here," said Ismael Villegas, an emergency medical technician with Care Ambulance Service. "There's multiple patients in rooms. I went inside the hospital; there's blood on the floor because they don't even have a chance to clean it yet, just because there's so much going on."

One Los Angeles EMT told ABC News he waited 17 hours on Tuesday with a semi-critical patient in his ambulance before a bed became available. Brandon Gray said he spent much of that time scrambling to find oxygen to keep refiling his rig's tank.

With such long wait times once they arrive at hospitals in the region, that's a problem many EMTs are running into. Gray's crew member, Megan Griffin, explained how she had to put two patients on the same oxygen flow at the same time.

"Resources are really low," said Griffin. "That was the only option."

For the first time since the pandemic began, more than 4,000 deaths were confirmed in the U.S. over just the last 24 hours.

The highly contagious variant of the virus that was first identified in the U.K. has now been found in eight states, including Pennsylvania, Connecticut and Texas on Thursday.

"This variant has the potential to throw jet fuel on an already dangerous situation," said Judge Lina Hidalgo of Harris County, Texas, who leads coronavirus response in the county that includes Houston.

The EMT crews, who have been working around the clock, told ABC News that they are exhausted and feel helpless.

"I saw a beautiful 95-year-old woman who was in pain lying in the back of an ambulance for 12 hours," said Bill Weston, the director of operations for Care Ambulance. "There was absolutely nothing we could do to get her into that hospital because there was no more room in the hospital."

In Weston's more than 30-year career in EMS, he's been deployed to Hurricane Katrina and Hurricane Rita, but he said what's happening right now in Los Angeles County "is by far the worst disaster I've ever been involved in."

A doctor in Arkansas forgives over $650,000 for his cancer patents so that they can hopfully start the year off worry free

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
An Arkansas doctor gave hundreds of patients a clean bill to start the New Year when he cleared their debt.

Dr. Omar Atiq closed his cancer clinic in Pine Bluffs after nearly three decades of business.

As part of the process, he needed to wind down outstanding debts. He tried for months to work with the billing company to resolve the matter, but he quickly decided it wasn't worth it.

"Over time, I realized that there are people who just are unable to pay," Dr. Atiq told "Good Morning America." "So my wife and I, as a family, we thought about it and looked at forgiving all the debt."

Dr. Atiqu's practice never turned away people who were sick simply because of a lack of insurance or funds.

Around 200 of Dr. Atiq's former patients received a notice that the clinic was closing, and their debt had been cleared.

The total amount cleared was a little over $650,000.

"I saw patients over the years who just didn't have anything or who went bankrupt trying to pay for their treatment," Dr. Atiq said. "In many ways it seems like a totally unfair situation."

The billing company RMC of America said it was a "very kind gesture."

"I just hope that it made it a little bit easier for them. That's it," Dr. Atiq added. "I just hope that it gave them a little sigh of relief and made it easier for them so they could face other challenges they may be facing in their lives."

Around 140,000 people lost their jobs last months and the unemployment rate is still at 6.7%.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
"What's really driving the economy is still the path of the virus."

The U.S. unemployment rate was 6.7% in December -- unchanged from the previous month -- and employers cut some 140,000 jobs, the Department of Labor said Friday.

"What's really driving the economy is still the path of the virus," Erica Groshen, a senior economics adviser at Cornell University and the former commissioner of the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, told ABC News ahead of the report's release. Groshen noted that December's data likely reflects the surge in cases after Thanksgiving and the restrictions put in place to quell its spread.

Prior to the pandemic, the unemployment rate in the U.S. was 3.5%.

Notable job losses last month occurred in leisure and hospitality (which shed some 498,000 jobs, the majority of which in food and drinking places), according to the DOL. Since February, employment in leisure and hospitality is down by some 3.9 million jobs. Heavy job cuts also occurred in the private education industry last month (which cut 63,000 jobs) the DOL said.

These job losses were partially offset by some hiring last month in professional and business services (an uptick of 161,000 jobs), retail trade (an addition of 121,000) and construction (which added 51,000).

"There have been huge losses in leisure and hospitality and travel-related industries," Groshen noted. "And many of these are low-wage workers [who] cannot do the work from home."

Moreover, "these are places where business models may be changing and so many of these jobs may not come back," Groshen said.

Groshen said that one of her concerns for the recovery is the growing number of temporary furloughs that have turned into permanent job losses.

The latest economic data continues to show the disproportionate impact of the economic crisis on people of color. The unemployment rate for white workers was 6% last month compared to 9.9% for Black workers, 9.3% for Hispanic workers and 5.9% for Asian workers.

This highlights the need for further stimulus even when economic activity fully resumes, Groshen said.

"We don't want to go back to full activity until it's safe to do that, but we will want to go back to full activity as soon as we can," she said. "And that's when we will need the stimulus, because if we don't have the stimulus, then we are risking going into a traditional normal or recessionary cycle where lack of confidence in the future means people don't spend, companies don't invest, and that reduces confidence in the future."

She continued, "And you get this kind of downward spiral of economic activity. So, this is where government spending can be quite effective."

A huge sinkhole was reported in a hospital parking lot on January 8th in Naples, Italy. Many cars were swallowed up, but no injuries have been reported so far. It is believed that this 70 foot deep sinkhole has been caused by infiltration of water underground, due to heavy rainfall.

A giant sinkhole has opened in the parking lot of a Naples, Italy hospital

ROME -- A giant sinkhole opened Friday in the parking lot of a hospital in Naples, Italy, forcing the temporary closure of a nearby residence for recovering COVID-19 patients because the electricity was cut.

Operations weren't affected at the Hospital of the Sea, and firefighters said it didn't appear anyone was injured. The sinkhole consumed a few cars in the hospital's otherwise empty visitors' parking lot.

The local hospital district said the 20-meter-deep (66 feet), 2,000-square-meter (21,527-square-foot) sinkhole opened at dawn. Chief firefighter Cmdr. Ennio Aquilino told Italian television channel SkyTG 24 the implosion could have been caused by an infiltration of water underground as a result of recent heavy rains.

News reports quoted the regional governor as saying the COVID-19 residence would reopen within days after electricity and water service were restored. Both were also interrupted at the hospital, but backup systems allowed care to continue.

The principal of Fancy Farm Elementary drove her students home from school while two of the school's bus drivers were out with Covid. She had gotten her license to drive buses two years ago, so she could drive students to field trips and save money. She steped up during the pandemic and wanted to help any way she could.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
"You help where you need to help because that's what you need to do."

A principal is stepping up for her students by taking on the role of school bus driver during the pandemic.

Janet Throgmorton is principal of Fancy Farm Elementary in western Kentucky, where there's 184 preschool through sixth-grade students.

Since there's been a shortage of bus drivers, Throgmorton has worn multiple hats for Graves County School District including taking kids home after school.

"The first couple of times I drove it was really comical because I'm on the bus as the bell rings, as the kids are dismissed," Throgmorton told "Good Morning America." "The kids are like, 'Why are you driving the bus? Do you know how to drive the bus? I say, 'Yes. I got my license to do it.'"

Throgmorton has been principal of Fancy Farm for 11 years. Two years ago, she got her commercial driver's license and would substitute as a bus driver during field trips to save the district budget money.

"It's been very difficult for bus drivers, aides, cafeteria workers -- it affects every aspect of what we do," Throgmorton said. "Although COVID hasn't affected kids very much, you still consider schools a germ area. We don't blame them."

"You help where you need to help because that's what you need to do," she added. We've been short custodians, so you help take out trash. Our goal for the entire school year is to have kids in these buildings because we definitely believe that's where the best learning takes place."

Throgmorton said she and other educators have worn many hats lately. She has pitched in for cafeteria staff and picked up students in her own car after they've missed the bus.

Throgmorton has also made house calls to help remote learners with tech difficulties before the school returned to full, in-person learning on Monday.

On the bus, students and staff follow safety procedures like hand sanitizing, mask-wearing and social distancing. Temperatures are also taken.

In addition to her duties as principal, Throgmorton said taking on extra tasks has helped her connect with students on a deeper level.

The major move comes after violence erupted at the Capitol on Wednesday.

After a mob of pro-Trump supporters violently stormed the Capitol building in Washington, D.C., during a joint session of Congress, Facebook took the unprecedented step of indefinitely banning the president's account.

At least four people have died following the so-called insurrection that erupted at the Capitol on Wednesday. As the world watched the violence unfold in horror, President Donald Trump shared a video on his social media accounts telling the protesters "we love you" and "you're very special" as he told them to go home.

The video was soon removed by Facebook, Twitter and YouTube. As pressure mounted, Facebook and Twitter took the extra step of temporarily suspending Trump's accounts. On Thursday, Facebook went a step further and said it was indefinitely suspending Trump's account.

"Over the last several years, we have allowed President Trump to use our platform consistent with our own rules, at times removing content or labeling his posts when they violate our policies. We did this because we believe that the public has a right to the broadest possible access to political speech, even controversial speech. But the current context is now fundamentally different, involving use of our platform to incite violent insurrection against a democratically elected government," Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg said in a post.

"We believe the risks of allowing the President to continue to use our service during this period are simply too great," he added. "Therefore, we are extending the block we have placed on his Facebook and Instagram accounts indefinitely and for at least the next two weeks until the peaceful transition of power is complete."

The hunt begins for the driver of a "suspicious car" that was outside of the Queens Place Mall in NYC.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Authorities are looking for a man suspected to have been driving the vehicle that sparked an emergency response and street closures near the Queens Place Mall early Monday, multiple police sources tell News 4.

Several hundred people were evacuated from the shopping center and from nearby apartments along Queens Boulevard and 56th Avenue around 9 a.m. The NYPD's bomb squad was sent in to investigate the device that resembled a bomb. The car's windows were obscured, making it difficult for passersby to readily discern what was inside, police said.

The item that prompted the concern -- what appeared to be a small can attached to the back of a Tesla with stolen license plates on Queens Boulevard around 7:30 a.m., high-ranking law enforcement sources said -- turned out to be a hoax device, the NYPD tweeted in a late-morning update. News 4 obtained a photo of it.

No explosives were found. There was, however, a dog (a husky), trapped inside the car. The animal was rescued and officers were seen giving it some water from a cup at the scene. The circumstances surrounding the vehicle and the dog, as well as the can attached to the car, remain under investigation.

Sources say the man suspected of driving that vehicle, which records show had Nevada license plates and was stolen, is 22-year-old Louis Shenker, who was previously known to New York City officials. Sources tell News 4 Shenker was arrested twice last week, once for allegedly burning a Black Lives Matter-related poster and the other for making a separate threat.

The car had pro-Black Lives Matter movement signage, raising questions of whether the signs were placed there in an attempt to discredit the movement, according to three senior law enforcement officials.

NYPD officials said at an afternoon news conference it wasn't clear whether the vehicle, a Tesla, was stolen in Nevada and driven to New York or if it was already in New York when it was taken. It was found parked on a spiral ramp between parking levels, officials noted. There are early indications based on items found inside the vehicle that the suspect may have been living inside, investigators said.

No arrests have yet been made, but police said that even though it was not a real explosive or harmful device, leaving anything that resembles a bomb is a crime, and charges are expected.

MINNEAPOLIS -- Hundreds of protesters marched in Minneapolis to demand justice in the fatal police shooting of a 23-year-old man, the city's first police-involved death since George Floyd died after being restrained by officers in May.

As many as 1,000 demonstrators marched and chanted Sunday near the site where Dolal Idd was killed Wednesday during an attempted felony traffic stop.

Police said Idd was being sought in a weapons investigation. Police Chief Medaria Arradondo released a 27-second clip from one officer's body-camera video and said it showed Idd fired his gun first.

"I'm encouraged to see that there's such a huge turnout in solidarity for the brother and his family in the middle of the winter. That shows that there's actually passion for the youth to really actually engage this indefinitely until there is some real change," AJ Awed, 30, told the Star Tribune.

"But at the same time, I'm disappointed because we shouldn't be here," he added. "After the murder of George Floyd and countless others, I don't understand how the police could be so careless, you know?"

Jaylani Hussein, executive director of the Minnesota chapter of Council on American-Islamic Relations, which helped organize the protest, told the crowd the bodycam footage shared by Minneapolis police is "inconclusive" and criticized it for being edited.

The fatal shooting of Idd, a Somali American, happened less than a mile (1.6 kilometers) from the street corner where a white Minneapolis officer pressed his knee on Floyd's neck for minutes, even as Floyd pleaded that he couldn't breathe. The May 25 death of Floyd, who was Black, sparked days of sometimes violent protests that spread around the country and resonated worldwide.

The story has been corrected to show that Minneapolis police have released one clip from one officer's body camera, not all body-camera video.
