BEIJING: China's economy grew 5.4% in the fourth quarter from a year earlier, official data showed on Friday, significantly beating analysts' expectations and enabling the government to meet its annual growth target.

Video shot by Reuters showed orange balls of light streaking across the sky over the Haitian capital of Port-au-Prince, leaving trails of smoke behind. Dozens of commercial flights diverted to other airports or altered course to avoid potential debris, according to flight tracking website FlightRadar24. Departures from airports in Miami and Fort Lauderdale, Florida, were also delayed by about 45 minutes, it added.
SpaceX CEO Musk posted a video on X showing the debris field and said:"Success is uncertain, but entertainment is guaranteed!" The FAA is likely to open a mishap investigation that would ground Starship - as the agency has done in the past - and examine whether any of the debris from the rocket's mid-flight blast fell on populated areas or outside of Starship's predetermined hazard zone.

Elon Musk and SpaceX Face Federal Investigations Over Security Protocol ViolationsBillionaire Elon Musk and his space company SpaceX are facing three federal investigations regarding compliance with national security reporting regulations, according to The New York Times. The investigations were initiated by the US Air Force, the Office of the Inspector General of the Department of Defense (DoD), and the Deputy Secretary of Defense for Intelligence and Security. The report cites information from eight individuals with knowledge of SpaceX operations and internal company documents. The report alleges that Musk and SpaceX have repeatedly failed to adhere to federal reporting protocols intended to protect national secrets, including not disclosing details of his meetings with foreign leaders. This isn't the first time Musk's handling of SpaceX security has been questioned by the Pentagon. In 2018, Musk's public smoking of marijuana during a show with comedian Joe Rogan triggered a review of his security clearance. The latest report claims the US Air Force recently denied Musk's application for high-level security access due to potential security risks. Even US allies like Israel have expressed concerns that the SpaceX owner might be sharing sensitive data. Musk has yet to comment on the issue. SpaceX, renowned for its successful space missions, is now facing significant pressure to demonstrate its full compliance with security protocols to ensure that national secrets are not exposed to external threats.
