Olympics Dominate: U.S. Women Win Gold, Bobsled Glory!

MELBOURNE, Australia - The Australian government announced Tuesday it would not repatriate 34 women and children with alleged ties to the Islamic State group from Syria, according to Prime Minister Anthony Albanese. The group, comprised of individuals from 11 families, were expected to fly from Damascus to Australia.

The decision comes as Israel announced it would begin a contentious land regulation process in a large part of the occupied West Bank, potentially giving Israel control over significant areas for future development, as reported by The Associated Press. This process, which had been frozen, will now resume.

Meanwhile, the U.S. women's hockey team is preparing for the gold medal match after dominating the Olympics, according to NPR News. The team secured a 5-0 victory in the semifinal match against Sweden, advancing them to the final game on Thursday.

In other Olympic news, Americans Elana Meyers Taylor, 41, and Kaillie Humphreys, 40, secured gold and bronze medals in a bobsled showdown in Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy, on Monday night. Meyers Taylor came from behind in the fourth and final heat, according to NPR News.

Adding to the day's news, funding for the Department of Homeland Security ran out last week, triggering a shutdown, according to NPR.
