| UPDATE 1-Trump orders environmental notice to San Francisco on homeless - ![UPDATE 1-Trump orders environmental notice to San Francisco on homeless]( "UPDATE 1-Trump orders environmental notice to San Francisco on homeless") President Donald Trump said on Wednesday he had given the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency less than a week to issue a notice to the city of San Francisco over its homelessness problem and attendant pollution. The move was the latest salvo in a political war between Trump and officials in San Francisco and Los Angeles over what the president believes is their failure to tackle the growing number of people living on the streets. "They have to clean it up," Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One.

| Rare California trout species returns to native habitat -  For the first time in nearly a century, a rare California trout species is swimming in a mountain creek that is its native habitat, marking a major milestone that conservationists hope will lead to a thriving population and removal of its threatened status. About 30 Paiute cutthroat trout were plucked Wednesday from Coyote Valley Creek in the eastern Sierra Nevada wilderness and hauled in cans strapped to pack mules about 2 miles (3.2 kilometers) west into Long Valley. State and federal researchers were on hand as the fish were dumped into a stretch of Silver King Creek at around 8,000 feet (2,438 meters) elevation, where the shimmering species glided through the cold water for thousands of years below a waterfall before they started disappearing in the 1920s.
