Happy New Years Eve! xx, Ivanka wrote in the picture post, where she is shown wearing a sparkly David Koma number.

Meanwhile, Lara Trump took to social media to share a sweet photo of herself and Eric on the red carpet.

Thank you, 2017! Hello 2018, Lara said. She chose a Chiara Boni La Petite Robe plunging black bodysuit, and Eric, a black suit and white bow tie.

During the red carpet event, President Trump promised 2018 will be a fantastic year, while telling reporters: Stock market I think is going to continue to go up, companies are going to continue to come into the country.

Ivanka, Jared and their two kids, Arabella and Joseph smiled for the camera in a cute Instagram snapshot that shows the group in black tie and dresses.

Meanwhile, Lara Trump took to social media to share a sweet photo of herself and Eric on the red carpet.

Hours prior, he took to Twitter writing: As our Country rapidly grows stronger and smarter, I want to wish all of my friends, supporters, enemies, haters, and even the very dishonest Fake News Media, a Happy and Healthy New Year, the president wrote.

2018 will be a great year for America!. His $750-a-head party has prompted criticism, with some accusing him of profiting from public office with the very glam New Years Eve event.

Trump has attended the party at his Mar-a-Lago private club for the past two decades, but Sunday nights festivities will be his first as President.

The Presidents supporters and members of his private club say the increased security measures and pricier tickets will be worth it.

Beaming: The Kushners let their two older children attend the party, although its not clear if they were tucked up in bed by the time the clock struck 12.

Stunning: Beaming Lara Trump opted for a black trouser suit, while her husband Eric plumped for a white tie ensemble.

Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin and his wife Louise Linton arrive in white for a New Years Eve bash. Its a very glam night.

I think everyone is even more excited this year than last year, because then he was president-elect, he hadnt been sworn in, supporter Toni Holt Kramer told the Washington Post.

But critics claim the lavish party is a way for Trump to promote his brand - even though he gave up running his hotel and real estate business when he was elected.

He still owns various properties, including Mar-a-Lago.

The president continues to find ways to profit from public office, by exploiting the fact that there are people who will pay to spend time with him and to be seen with him, according to Kathleen Clark, who is a government ethics expert at the Washington University School of Law.

Hundreds of people are expected to show up for the red-carpet extravaganza, which usually includes cocktails, hors doeuvres, a four course dinner and entertainment.

The official menu includes a first course of Trumps iceberg wedge salad with Roquefort, grape tomatoes, bacon, red onion and assorted dinner rolls.

The second course is Maine lobster ravioli with fennel mousseline, olive, citrus verjus sauce, Fox White House Producer Fin Gomez explained of the menu.

For the entree, the Trumps will serve sliced tenderloin and pan seared sea bass with taro root puree, morel mushrooms, roasted heirloom carrots, sweet cherries and burgundy jus.

Donald Trump Jr. took to Twitter on his 40th birthday to share a picture with father, President Trump.

He wrote: Just hanging out with POTUS on #NYE!. An interior view of the ballroom is shown as guest gather together to chat and celebrate the coming New Year.

At least 600 people attended last years sell-out party when tickets were $525 for members and $575 for guests.

This year, tickets have jumped to the whopping $750 for guests and $600 for members.

I expect most of the members will want to be there. Its going to be fabulous, Kramer said.

She added that the President would likely be the last one to leave the party, and the first one up in the morning, tweeting.

Lucky for us, he doesnt need a lot of sleep.  .

Aussie flu claims its first deaths in Ireland | news 24h - Duration: 10:10.

Aussie flu claims its first deaths in Ireland as doctors warn it could be the worst outbreak of the illness in the UK for 50 years

The deadly Aussie flu currently sweeping Britain has already claimed lives in Ireland, it has emerged.

Doctors in the UK have warned that it could be the worst outbreak of the bug in 50 years, as official figures revealed cases more than doubled in just one week.

Government statistics show 1,111 people were struck down with flu as temperatures dropped last week - a 156 per cent jump on the previous seven days.

Doctors in the UK have warned that it could be the worst outbreak of the bug in 50 years, as official figures revealed cases more than doubled in just one week (stock image).

Although the number of flu-related deaths recorded in Ireland so far is under ten, 73 people have been hospitalised and the Irish Health Service Executive is urging  people to get vaccinated.

In a statement, the executive said the number of reported cases of flu had increased in the week before Christmas and that flu is now actively circulating in Ireland.

Director of the HSEs Health Protection Surveillance Centre Dr Kevin Kelleher told RTE the executive has been informed of a small number of deaths directly related to influenza (less than ten) in the last two weeks.

The executive is urging people, particularly those in high-risk groups, to make sure they are vaccinated.

These include people aged 65 and over; anyone with a chronic illness; all pregnant women as well as people in care homes or long stay facilities.

Meanwhile, figures released by Public Health England show a sharp rise in cases, triggered by a surge in two aggressive subtypes attacking the population simultaneously.

HOW MUCH PRESSURE IS THE NHS UNDER? Earlier this month, NHS Providers, which represents hospital trusts, said hospitals will be sorely tested this winter.

Its comments were provoked by chief executives of two hospitals who admitted their bed occupancy rates are 98 per cent and 99 per cent respectively.

And concerned doctors warned patients will have to sleep, take paracetamol and pray ahead of the impending winter crisis.

The NHS is expected to face unprecedented pressure in the coming months, as campaigners fear it will be disastrous amid soaring waiting lists in A&E.    The worries follow last years winter crisis, which saw health secretary Jeremy Hunt beg people to stay away from turmoil-hit hospitals.

The Red Cross branded the situation a humanitarian crisis - a term used to describe the devastating civil war in Syria and Yemen. .

One includes the so-called Aussie flu, a strain of influenza A which wreaked havoc on hospitals in Australia during the countrys winter.

The H3N2 subtype triggered two and a half times the normal number of cases in Australia.

Britains flu season tends to mirror what has happened there.

Experts fear the virulent flu strain, which has now reached the UK, could prove as deadly as the Hong Kong flu in 1968, which killed one million people.

Usually, just one subtype, either influenza A or B, is responsible for the majority of cases. It spreads much easier in the cold weather.

But last week 522 cases of influenza A and 546 of influenza B were recorded across England and Wales. Some 43 cases are yet to be identified. .

However, this winters outbreak shows no signs of slowing down, as flu cases are expected to rocket even further in the coming weeks.

However, this winters outbreak shows no signs of slowing down, as flu cases are expected to rocket even further in the coming weeks.

Cases this year are almost 10 times higher than they were at the same point in 2015, according to the PHE data.

Just 132 cases were recorded then. But in 2015, Government figures suggested that the winter flu played a part in more than 16,000 deaths.

Only 577 deaths were recorded in the previous winter. . The total recorded in week 51 is also double that of last year, when 583 cases, mainly of the H3N2 subtype, were reported.

The sharp rise in flu is only expected to cause further problems for the NHS, with cases of the winter vomiting bug also continuing to soar.

Government statistics show 1,111 people were struck down with flu last week - a 156 per cent jump on the previous seven days.

Some 2,117 people have been infected with norovirus since July.

The figure has raised at a steady level week-on-week since October.

Nick Phin, of PHE, said: Flu activity, as measured by a number of different systems, has continued to increase in the last week or two.

This is to be expected as the season progresses and at this point the numbers are in-keeping with previous years.

The circulating flu strains match those in the current flu vaccine, so the vaccine remains the best defence against the virus.

The PHE figures follow repeated predictions by researchers that the flu vaccine may only be 20 per cent effective this winter - just like last year.

NHS PREPARES FOR THE WORST FLU OUTBREAK IN 50 YEARS The dreaded Aussie flu outbreak that the NHS is preparing for will be the worst in 50 years, experts warned in September.

Some A&E units in Australia had standing room only after being swamped by more than 100,000 cases of the H3N2 strain.

Professor Robert Dingwall, a public health expert at Nottingham Trent University, said it is inevitable it will reach Britain.

He said it could claim as many lives as the Hong Kong flu outbreak in 1968, which killed at least one million people.

Professor Dingwall told The Daily Express: Based on the Australian experience public health officials need to meet and urgently review emergency planning procedures.

Public Health England should be working with local authorities and local health services to ensure more hospital beds are freed up.

We need to be prepared, alert and flexible. There is no point in trying to close the borders.

It's almost inevitable this will come to us. This is potentially the worst winter since the Hong Kong flu outbreak of 1968.

Lots of people have been very badly affected in Australia and whilst their mortality rates are not out yet we suspect this is a more severe strain than most other years..
