 * Welcome to N54 News. I'm Gillean Jordan. We begin now with your latest local news. The 54th Anniversary of the AHQ Disaster is fast approaching. In 2023, Night City was shaken to its core by the detonation of a tactical nuclear bomb in Arasaka's NC headquarters. Twelve thousand were killed instantly by the blast and thousands more later succumbed to acute radiation sickness. This tragic incident - which some ultimately attribute to Arasaka's wanton imperialist tendencies - has forever left a mark on our city's history. And now, an important message for Watson residents. The homelessness problem plaguing the district's sewer system will be addressed as fumigation of the tunnels begins tomorrow. Due to the use of potent neurotoxins, Watson residents are urged to stay clear of storm drains and sewer entrances to minimize risk of injury and death. Next - Is it the end of eastbound traffic jams on the I-9? Long-awaited repairs to Ringroad East may begin as early as next month. Estimates put investment into this major artery at close to 20 million eurodollars, with priority being placed on efficiency and anti-nomad barriers. And that is it for your lastest [sic] local news. After the break, we have a look at our world report.
 * Hello, I'm Gillean Jordan. Welcome to the world report on N54 News. The Western Corporate States recently announced a new visa program. Persons intending to relocate there must first find a sponsor from among WCS-affiliated companies. Following a twenty-year employment period within the WCS, visa-holders can earn the right to permanent residence, a marriage license, and a single-child permit. In Northern Europe, the humanitarian crisis has worsened. Refugees from flooded regions in Belgium and the Netherlands continue to pour into Scandinavia. Sweden has responded with force, sinking over a dozen refugee vessels in recent weeks. Despite humanitarian efforts, nearly sixty people have been killed. Have we found Heaven on Earth? Permanent human settlement on Antarctica is celebrating ten years today. A wealth of natural resources hidden under the ice has spurred the continent's rapid economic development. Though some environmental degradation has occurred as a result, inhabitants of the South Pole are still enjoying life as Antarctica's first dollhouse was recently opened. But perhaps the most appealing to locals and newcomers alike is the astonishingly low crime level. Antarcticians enjoy a murder rate of only 70 per 100,000 residents. Thank you for watching N54 News. We'll see you next time.
