Olympic organizers apologize for introducing South Korean athletes as North Korea – NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth
SUMMARY: During the opening ceremony of the 2024 Paris Olympics, organizers mistakenly introduced South Korea’s athletes as North Korea. The athletes, who waved their nation’s flag aboard a boat on the Seine River, were announced as the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea instead of the Republic of Korea. The International Olympic Committee (IOC) issued a public apology for the error. Jang Mi Ran, South Korea’s second vice minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism, requested a meeting with IOC President Thomas Bach, and South Korea’s Olympic committee demanded measures to prevent similar incidents. Despite the error, the boat’s sign correctly identified South Korea.

Federal judge strikes down some North Carolina abortion restrictions – NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth
SUMMARY: A federal judge ruled to permanently block a North Carolina abortion law provision requiring doctors to document the pregnancy location before prescribing pills, deeming it too vague. This provision had been temporarily halted by U.S. District Judge Catherine Eagles last year. Eagles also reinstated a law mandating abortions after 12 weeks be performed in hospitals, citing legislators' claims of enhanced maternal health safety. Planned Parenthood argued it would increase procedure danger and cost. North Carolina's updated abortion laws largely remain, reducing access from 20 to 12 weeks. The state remains a key destination for out-of-state abortions. The ruling can be appealed.
