The Food and Drug Administration said Tuesday that people ages 50 and up are eligible to get a second booster shot of the COVID-19 vaccine<\/a> at least four months after their first booster. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has to approve the additional booster dose before it becomes available, and it\u2019s not yet clear how soon that may happen. FDA officials said analysis of recent data shows a second booster of either the Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna vaccines improves protection against severe COVID-19, although some experts question the necessity of a fourth dose.<\/a>\u00a0Whether or not to get another booster shot is up to individuals and should be calculated based on\u00a0age, health status and the state of the pandemic, experts said.<\/strong>
Russia and Ukraine commenced face-to-face talks\u00a0Tuesday as the United Nations pushed for a cease-fire in Russia\u2019s deadly invasion. The talks occurred in the Turkish presidential office in Istanbul and lasted more than three hours,<\/a>\u00a0Russian media reported. Russian officials said Tuesday that the Russian military had \u201cdrastically\u201d cut back activity near the Ukraine capital of Kyiv as talks entered the \u201cpractical\u201d stage. The reductions in military actions were meant to foster trust and further negotiations, Russian officials said, while the Ukrainian delegation presented a new system of security guarantees. Russia\u2019s chief negotiator said a meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenksyy could occur as soon as a framework for a peace deal is established.<\/strong>

The special House committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol received former President Donald Trump\u2019s phone log from that day<\/a> \u2013 but the records show a gap of more than seven hours, according to reports. The lag in phone activity specifically occurs during the period of time during which the Capitol was ambushed, leaving the committee with no documentation of the former president\u2019s calls during the attack. The National Archives provided the records to the committee earlier this year, and the investigators are determining whether Trump used burner phones or aides\u2019 phones amid the attack. A spokesperson for the former president said he had \u201cnothing to do with the records.\u201d<\/strong>
Part of a highway in Pennsylvania remained closed Tuesday as cleanup efforts continued following a deadly pileup. More than 50 vehicles were involved in the crash on Interstate 81 Monday that killed at least three people<\/a> and injured dozens more\u00a0about 100 miles northwest of Philadelphia. One local official told USA TODAY the collision was \u201cprobably the most significant\u201d crash on I-81 in \u201cyears.\u201d Police said the cause of the crash was unclear, but the highway was already covered in snow when a snow squall, or sudden heavy snowfall, came through and hampered visibility. As road conditions rapidly worsened, the blockage sent cars and trailers spinning out of control. Three tractor trailers caught fire and at least two other small fires were reported. Flames and snowy conditions made it difficult for emergency personnel to reach the scene.<\/strong>
President Joe Biden has yet to act on a key campaign promise to cancel at least $10,000 of each American\u2019s student debt.<\/a>\u00a0But it\u2019s not clear whether\u00a0a bill to forgive student loans would pass Congress as Democrats are working with thin margins in the House and a split Senate. The Biden administration has given some relief by extending the freeze on student loan repayments through May 1. The White House has indicated another extension is likely, but progressive advocates say even that is not\u00a0enough to overhaul the vast burden of debt\u00a0so many Americans bear.\u00a0Pressure on Biden\u00a0to forgive\u00a0student loans is expected to mount ahead of the midterm elections in November.
