FBI believes New Orleans attacker acted alone

We have the latest on the attack in New Orleans on New Year's Day.

Detectives investigating the deadly New Year truck attack in New Orleans say they now believe there was nobody else involved, other than the driver - who was a supporter of the Islamic State group. For the latest on the suspect and the victims, we speak to local journalists in the city and bring live a press conference from New Orleans.

We also hear from eyewitnesses in New Orleans about how the attack has been affecting their lives in the city.

We speak to a sport reporter about the postponed Sugar Bowl between the US college football teams of Notre Dame and the University of Georgia that is set to kick off on Thursday in New Orleans.
