Minneapolis Clashes, Cautious Calm in Iran, Trump’s ‘Unhinged’ Diet and more
CNN 5 Things
Jan 16, 2026

We break down what happened after another night of unrest in Minneapolis. A new CNN poll on President Donald Trump’s first year back in office paints a grim picture for Republicans. There's a cautious calm in Iran after weeks of deadly protests. We explain why the CIA’s director has travelled to Venezuela. Plus, the man responsible for making America healthy again has poked fun of Trump's diet.
