Naomi Osaka on finding the power of her voice
CBSN
Just watch her hit a few balls and there's no denying, Naomi Osaka has power. At 24 she's won four Grand Slams (the U.S. and Australian Opens, both twice), and last summer she lit the Olympic cauldron at the Tokyo Games, representing her birth country, Japan.
But for all that superhuman strength, Osaka has also made a point of showing just how human she really is. At Wimbledon in 2019, she told an interviewer, "I feel like I'm about to cry."
And at the 2021 U.S. Open she shared how she struggles with the incredibly public nature of her job, telling a press conference, "I honestly don't know when I'm going to play my next tennis match … I think I'm gonna take a break from playing for a while."
President Biden on Monday signed into law a defense bill that authorizes significant pay raises for junior enlisted service members, aims to counter China's growing power and boosts overall military spending to $895 billion despite his objections to language stripping coverage of transgender medical treatments for children in military families.
It's Christmas Eve, and Santa Claus is suiting up for his annual voyage from the North Pole to households around the world. In keeping with decades of tradition, the North American Aerospace Command, or NORAD, will once again track Santa's journey to deliver gifts to children before Christmas 2024, using an official map that's updated consistently to show where he is right now.
An anti-money laundering law called the Corporate Transparency Act, or CTA, appears to have been given new life after an appeals court on Monday determined its rules can be enforced as the case proceeds. The law requires small business owners to register with the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, or FinCEN, by Jan. 1, or potentially pay fines of up to $10,000.
