Digest

This news segment covers a range of topics, including the opening ceremony of the Paris Olympics, a coordinated attack on France's rail system, the search for a missing air tanker plane fighting wildfires in Oregon, and California's order to clear homeless encampments. The segment focuses on the Park Fire in California, the largest wildfire in the state this year. It has burned over 160,000 acres, leading to evacuations, including parts of Paradise, the town devastated by the Camp Fire in 2018. California has ordered its agencies to start clearing homeless encampments, following a Supreme Court ruling that made it easier to move people, even if they have nowhere to go. The order prioritizes encampments posing imminent danger and requires 48-hour notice for others. The Nebraska Supreme Court upheld laws banning most abortions after 12 weeks of pregnancy and restricting certain gender-affirming treatments for minors. The court ruled that both topics fall under the same subject of public health and welfare.
