News Wrap: Firefighters contain 80% of Oregon Bootleg Fire; lift evacuations in California

In our news wrap Monday, firefighters in Oregon finally have the upper hand against the giant Bootleg Fire after they made major progress over the weekend. More than 80% of the fire has been contained. Federal health officials in the U.S. said average daily vaccinations for COVID-19 jumped 70% last week. The president of Afghanistan blamed the U.S. for rapid gains by the Taliban.
