KNX In Depth: LA's animal shelters in dire straits -- LA County close to becoming an area of high COVID spread -- California's red-hot real estate market shows signs of cooling off

Yesterday we told you about thousands of beagles that need rescuing in Virginia ... but today our dog story hits closer to home: LA city animal shelters, short on money, staff and volunteers, are keeping dogs locked up in their kennels for weeks or even months at a time ... without letting them out for long walks or to play. So we'll go In Depth. LA County will likely be designated as an area of high COVID spread today, and with hospitalizations from the virus slowly creeping up, the return of the indoor mask mandate is possible. But will anyone actually enforce it? And at the end of today's show we're going to try to answer some questions about the growing confusion over COVID vaccines: should you run out to get a second booster shot, or wait until the next crop of newly developed vaccines are available? Some of California's most sizzling real estate markets are finally showing signs of cooling off ... if you've been sitting on the sidelines, is now the time to try to buy a new house? Russia launched a missile attack far away from the front lines in Ukraine, hitting a town in the western part of the country with seemingly no military value, killing dozens of civilians. We'll get an update as that war grinds on. And we'll check in on President Biden's very complicated trip to the Middle East.
