People across the world have celebrated the new year. Security was tight at New York's Times Square, with around 6000 police officers, bomb-sniffing dogs, radiation detectors and hundreds of surveillance cameras keeping watch over the more than a million people. In Tokyo, balloons were released at midnight, while in Seoul a bell was rung 33 times to bring wellbeing to the people of South Korea. And in Hong Kong, there were the usual fireworks at Victoria Harbour. Spiros Papastefanou reports
