Today, we start with some good news for environmentalists. The US state of California has just approved a new law that will ban the sale of new diesel trucks by 2036, which is another huge step forward for the big West Coast state with a population of over 55 million people. This also builds on the other rule (which was approved in August of 2022) that will ban the sale of gas powered cars in California by 2035.
On another note, yet another mass shooting has taken place, this time in Texas. The shooting happened in San Jacinto County when a gunman opened fire on residents of a neighborhood, officials say. The suspect has been identified as Mexican national Francisco Oropeza, and he is still at large. The county sheriff said that Oropeza was firing his rifle on the sidewalk when residents of the neighborhood came out of their homes to ask him to stop, and he opened fire on them. Five people were killed, and three others were injured.
