Catholic diocese considers bankruptcy in wake of abuse lawsuits

from KPBS Midday Edition

The Catholic Diocese of San Diego says it may file for bankruptcy as it faces hundreds of sexual abuse lawsuits. The legal claims date back as far as the 1940s. Then, the future of the Imperial Valley’s largest hospital is in jeopardy. A string of financial challenges have left multiple departments of El Centro Regional Medical center shuttered. Plus, the military is now allowing troops to serve even if they don't get vaccinated for COVID-19. Congress passed a law late last year that overturned the Pentagon's previous vaccine mandate. Also, we take a look into one of the state’s biggest upcoming political battles: the fight over labor conditions for fast food workers. Later, a new app looks to prepare and train people in CPR before an actual emergency. Finally, a local chef offers some tips and recommendations for a special Valentine’s Day dinner at home.
