Hi there, from CNN. I'm Charlie Drever with the five things you need to know for Thursday, January 8th. Minneapolis has erupted into anger following the fatal shooting of a woman by an ICE agent yesterday. She's been identified as 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good, a US citizen with a 6-year-old child. Good was in her car stopped in the middle of the street when federal officers approached her vehicle and instructed Good to get out of the car. When she started to drive away, an ice agent fired several times at her vehicle and fatally shot her in the head. People across the city gathered at the shooting site yesterday, first to protest and then to honour Good's life in a vigil that filled an entire block. CNN has reviewed three videos of the shooting and exactly what took place beforehand remains unclear. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem has defended the ICE agent saying the woman had tried to run over the officer and they were acting in self-defense. It's very clear that this individual was harassing and impeding law enforcement operations. Our officer followed his training, did exactly what he's been taught to do in that situation, and took actions to defend himself and defend his fellow law enforcement officers. But Minneapolis mayor, Jacob Frey, rejected that. That is bull-che-the-way. The way they've been conducting themselves is also bull-h-h- Minnesota politicians are blaming the Trump administration, saying its immigration crackdown tactics led to the shooting. And Governor Tim Walz warns that he's prepared to deploy the state's National Guard. More news coming up, including high-stakes talks with the US over Venezuelan oil.

Venezuela's state-owned oil companies says it's in negotiations with the US over oil volume sales. Yesterday, Trump administration officials began outlining a makeshift strategy for taking indefinite control of Venezuela's oil sales, as it scrambles to sell the idea to skeptical lawmakers and oil execs. The multi-part plan centers on seizing and selling millions of barrels of Venezuelan oil on the open market, while convincing U.S. firms to make expansive long-term investments to rebuild the nation's energy infrastructure. And Washington made its demands to Venezuela, as CNN's Elena Treen explains. My conversations with two senior White House officials, they say among those demands are they want Caracas to sever economic ties with the United States foreign adversaries, countries like China, Russia, Iran, and Cuba. They also want the country's interim president, Delci Rodriguez, who I should note was previously Nicholas Maduro's vice president. They want her to favor the United States exclusively when considering doing business on their oil reserves. The Trump administration is set to remove the U.S. from a bedrock global climate treaty. The U.S. joined the agreement over 30 years ago under President George H.W. Bush, which promises to stabilize the amount of climate pollution in the atmosphere. It also sets up a process for countries to negotiate, and it led to crucial bits of legislation like the Paris Agreement in 2015. The White House has released a memo confirming the withdrawal. With Secretary of State Marco Rubio saying in a statement, the US will no longer participate with, quote, institutions that are irrelevant to or in conflict with our interests. Former Secretary of State John Kerry blasted the move, calling it a, quote, gift to China and a get-out-of-jail free card to polluters. The Washington Post says Democratic stalwart, Denny Hoyer, will announce his retirement from Congress today. The 86-year-old Maryland representative has served more than four decades in Congress and is the third-longest serving member of the House. Elected to Congress in 1981, Hoyer is a former House Deputy Majority Leader and Democratic Whip. He showed a knack of shepherding landmark bills through divided coalitions such as the Americans with Disabilities Act in 1990. NASA has reported a medical issue with a crew member in space. We'll tell you more next.

I'm CNN tech reporter Claire Duffy, this week on the podcast, Terms of Service. Are virtual wallets on the way to replacing the classic billfold? And as a tech reporter, I cannot help but wonder what are the risks of storing so much personal information in one place on our phones? Thankfully, Consumer Reports investigative reporter Lisa Gill spent months trying to answer those questions. She joined me to talk about her own digital wallet journey and how to keep your financial data as secure as possible. Google Wallet, Samsung Wallet, and Apple Wallet tell you that they do not hold funds. They merely facilitate a transaction. Your information is stored on your phone, not with them. PayPal, Cash app, and Venmo actually do hold funds. They, in my mind, act a lot more like a bank. Listen to CNN's Terms of Service wherever you get your podcasts. NASA says it's postponing a spacewalk today because of a medical concern involving a crew member. Astronauts Mike Fink and Zena Karpman were said to exit an airlock aboard the International Space Station to help install a collection of solar panels. It would be Karpman's first and Fink's 10th spacewalk, which basically means any activity done outside a spacecraft. The space agency didn't provide any details about the issue or the person involved. And that's all for now. Our next episode drops at noon eastern.

I'm Dr. Sanjay Gupta, host of the Chasing Life podcast. We're going to talk to Dr. Jennifer McIntyre. She's a microbiologist and also founder of food safety strategy, which consults with food companies about how to deal with food safety, including cyclospora. Also, perhaps most importantly, we'll tell you what you can realistically do to protect yourself beyond the standard guidance to wash your fruits and veggies. If we look at outbreaks that have happened in the past, We usually hypothesized that there was water that was contaminated with raw sewage, including from somebody or maybe a few people who were carrying cyclospora.
