Mother-Tongue Information in Rural Areas. While Nevada state agencies have come up with plans to provide language access for people in rural areas, those laws were not always enforced.

Guest: Jazmin Orozco Rodriguez, Health News Correspondent, KFF Health News, Elko, NV.

Bird Flu Emergency. California declared a state of emergency in response to bird flu outbreaks detected in dairy cows on farms in the state. The virus has spread in 16 states among dairy cattle.
