<p>A state of emergency was declared by California Governor Gavin Newsom in response to the widespread bird flu in the dairy cattle.</p>

<p>The declaration comes as California has become the outbreak's epicentre. In the last 30 days, California has tested positive more than 300 dairy herds.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"This proclamation is a targeted action to ensure government agencies have the resources and flexibility they need," said Newsom, in the statement.</p>

<p>"While the risk to the public remains low, we will continue to take all necessary steps to prevent the spread of this virus," he added.</p>

<p><strong><em>Emergency</em> gets CBFC clearance</strong><br />
<br />
In October, the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) granted<em> Emergency</em> a censor certificate. The film has been embroiled in controversy as it chronicles the story of former Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi and the emergency period in India leading up to her assassination by her bodyguard. Certain Sikh bodies raised objections, claiming the film's depiction of the community was objectionable.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
The Bombay High Court directed the Censor Board to consider any objections raised by Sikh bodies, groups, or individuals regarding the film's September 6 release. The CBFC's examining committee approved the film with a 'UA' certification, conditional upon the filmmakers making three cuts and providing factual sources for certain controversial historical statements. Among the suggested edits, the committee recommended that the filmmakers delete or replace specific visuals in a scene depicting Pakistani soldiers attacking Bangladeshi refugees.<br />
<br />
The film also stars Shreyas Talpade, Milind Soman, Mahima Chaudhary, Anupam Kher, late actor Satish Kaushik, Vishak Nair and others, with a screenplay by Ritesh Shah.</p>

<p>There is good news for those waiting for Kangana Ranaut's <em>Emergency</em> to release&nbsp;in theatres. The Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) is ready to release <em>Emergency </em>- Kangana's directorial feature but with some cuts.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
The CBFC has informed the Bombay High Court that its revising committee has suggested some cuts for the film before it releases in theatres.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
The CBFC on Thursday responded to a plea filed by co-producer Zee Entertainment Enterprises Limited, which alleged that the CBFC was “illegally” and “arbitrarily” withholding certification for the film.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
<em>Emergency </em>has been directed and co-produced by BJP MP Kangana Ranaut who plays the role of former Indian prime minister Indira Gandhi.<br />
<br />
The movie was scheduled to release on September 6, but ran into trouble after complaints of historical inaccuracies and misrepresenting the Sikh community.</p>

<p>After the lawyer representing Zee Entertainment sought time to take instructions to decide whether the cuts should be made, a bench of Justices B P Colabawalla and Firdosh P Pooniwalla posted further hearings&nbsp;for Monday, September 30.<br />
<br />
Earlier, the high court had directed CBFC to decide on the film by September 25 on the release of the film, stating that the delay in certification restricts freedom of expression. The court asked CBFC to 'not sit on the fence' as the delay led to the financial burden on the producers.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
The petitioner, during an earlier hearing, had contended a “political angle” that the Haryana elections were the reason for the delay in the release of the certification, citing “larger interests” of the party.<br />
<br />
“They (ruling party BJP) are willing to displease the sitting MP (Ranaut, who is a co-producer and represents the Mandi constituency in Lok Sabha) to appease a particular section of the society… Here is a film that is anti-Sikh as per some groups. Then who will be responsible for releasing an anti-Sikh movie? It will be the CBFC, which is the executive. So, some members of the community will say we will not vote for the ruling party in the coming Haryana elections,” the petitioner’s lawyer had submitted.</p>

<p>“You mean to say the political party is ruling against its own member of Parliament?” the bench had asked, to which the petitioner responded in the affirmative and sought an urgent decision.<br />

There is good news for those waiting for Kangana Ranaut's Emergency to release in theatres. The Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) is ready to release Emergency - Kangana's directorial feature but with some cuts. The CBFC has informed the Bombay High Court that its revising committee has suggested some cuts for the film before it releases in theatres. The CBFC on Thursday responded to a plea filed by co-producer Zee Entertainment Enterprises Limited, which alleged that the CBFC was “illegally” and “arbitrarily” withholding certification for the film. Emergency has been directed and co-produced by BJP MP Kangana Ranaut who plays the role of former Indian prime minister Indira Gandhi. The movie was scheduled to release on September 6, but ran into trouble after complaints of historical inaccuracies and misrepresenting the Sikh community.

Earlier, the high court had directed CBFC to decide on the film by September 25 on the release of the film, stating that the delay in certification restricts freedom of expression. The court asked CBFC to 'not sit on the fence' as the delay led to the financial burden on the producers. The petitioner, during an earlier hearing, had contended a “political angle” that the Haryana elections were the reason for the delay in the release of the certification, citing “larger interests” of the party. “They (ruling party BJP) are willing to displease the sitting MP (Ranaut, who is a co-producer and represents the Mandi constituency in Lok Sabha) to appease a particular section of the society… Here is a film that is anti-Sikh as per some groups. Then who will be responsible for releasing an anti-Sikh movie? It will be the CBFC, which is the executive. So, some members of the community will say we will not vote for the ruling party in the coming Haryana elections,” the petitioner’s lawyer had submitted. “You mean to say the political party is ruling against its own member of Parliament?” the bench had asked, to which the petitioner responded in the affirmative and sought an urgent decision.
