THEY WANT THE DEFENSE CONDOR CON ONE OF THE LARGEST MANUFACTURER IN THE WORLD TO STOP ARMING ISRAEL AND TO PUT AN END TO DO WHAT THEY'RE CALLED THE GENOCIDE OF GAZA.

>> DURING THE PROTEST GOT NEWS BROKE THE ISRAEL AGREED TO FOUR HOUR PER DAY CEASE-FIRE IN GAZA TO ALLOW CIVILIANS TO FLEE.

THE SAN DIEGO CHAPTER OF THE PALESTINIAN YOUTH MOVEMENT SAYS THAT'S PUTTING A POSITIVE GENOCIDE.

>> WE NEED A CEASE-FIRE COMPLETELY.

WE NEED OUR UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT TO STOP SENDING TEXT DOLLARS TO FUND THIS.

WE NEED COMPANIES LIKE THIS TO STOP SENDING BOMBS AND MISSILES TO BOMB CHILDREN.

>> GUS RUSSELL NEW LIVES DOWN THE STREET FROM NORTHROP GRUMMAN AND HE SAYS HE UNDERSTANDS THE PROTESTERS FRUSTRATION HAVING WORKED IN THE MIDDLE >> >> I'M NOT A GOOD AUTHORITY ON IT BUT I DO UNDERSTAND THEIR FRUSTRATIONS.

AND THEIR NEED TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.

>> THE PROTEST THIS MORNING AND ONE HERE AT UCSD ARE PART OF A NATIONWIDE MOVEMENT.

PROTESTING AGAINST COMPANIES AND POLITICIANS WHO ARE SUPPORTING ISRAEL.

IT WAS PART OF THE HEALTHCARE WORKERS AND STUDENT SOLIDARITY WALKOUT AT UC SAN DIEGO SCHOOL OF MEDICINE.

A POEM FROM A PALESTINIAN CHILD PERSPECTIVE.

IT WAS READ ALOUD.

AND THE NAMES OF PALESTINIAN CHILDREN KILLED IN THE WAR WERE WRITTEN ON THE BANNER.

GRACE VANG IS A THIRD-YEAR MEDICAL STUDENT AT UCSD.

>> WE MUST BEAR WITNESS TO APPEAR TO LOOK AT THIS AND SEE THIS IS NOT EVEN 10% IS HORRIFIC BUT IT IS A CALL TO ACTION.

IT MUST BE.

IT CANNOT BE ANYTHING FOR A CALL FOR US TO SAY THIS HAS TO STOP.

>> SHE SAID THIS IS IMPORTANT THAT HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS SPEAK UP BECAUSE THEY ARE THE ONES TREATING THE VICTIMS OF WAR.

>>> A CYBER ATTACK IS FORCING TRI-CITIES OCEANSIDE HOSPITAL TO DIVERT AMBULANCES AWAY FROM THE FACILITY.

A PERSON WITH DIRECT KNOWLEDGE OF THE ATTACK WAS NOT AUTHORIZED TO SPEAK TO MEDIA TOLD KPBS ABOUT THE IMPACT ON OPERATIONS.

THEY DID NOT ELABORATE ON THE OVERALL IMPACT OF THE CYBER ATTACK ON THE FACILITY'S ABILITY TO CARE FOR EXISTING PATIENTS.

COUNTY EMERGENCY OFFICIALS SAY THEY WERE NOTIFIED MIDMORNING THAT HOSPITAL LEADERS HAD PLACED TRI-CITY MEDICAL CENTER ON INTERNAL DISASTER DIVERSION.

THE STATE DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC HEALTH SAID GENERALLY INTERNAL DISASTERS ARE EMERGENCY SITUATIONS WHERE PATIENTS, VISITORS OR STAFF ARE INJURED OR MAY BE AT RISK OF HARM.

>>> CHULA VISTA CITY COUNCILWOMAN CARDENAS APPEARED BEFORE A JUDGE TODAY.

SHE AND HER BROTHER BOTH PLEADED NOT GUILTY TO MULTIPLE CHARGES INCLUDING GRAND THEFT, MONEY LAUNDERING, CONSPIRACY TO DEFRAUD AND FAILURE TO FILE A TAX RETURN.

THE SIBLINGS ARE ACCUSED OF FRAUDULENTLY OBTAINING A $176,000 PPP LOAN AND USING IT ON PERSONAL EXPENSES.

THAT INCLUDES A $33,000 CHECK TO HARDINESS CHULA VISTA CITY COUNCIL CAMPAIGN ACCOUNT.

THEIR ATTORNEYS MAINTAIN THEY ARE INNOCENT AND WILL FIGHT THE CHARGES.

>>> A BIT OF A CHILLY NIGHT ON HER HANDS AS INLAND AREAS CAN GET DOWN TO 35 DEGREES IN REMOTE AND APPEARED TO 37 IN ESCONDIDO.

AND 45 IN SAN DIEGO.

OVERALL, IT'S BEEN WINDY.

THE WIND WILL DIE DOWN BUT WE WANT TO LOOK AHEAD TO A WEEK FROM NOW.

LATER NEXT WEEK, A BIG WEATHER PATTERN CHANGE IS ROLLING IN.

AND THE FIRST SIGNIFICANT ROUND OF RAIN FOR THE UPCOMING WET SEASON WILL BE HERE.

WE WILL TALK ABOUT THIS.

SIT WITH US.

TOOK A SAN DIEGO-BASED NAVY SEAL WHO WAS A PROMINENT LEADER GUESS LGBTQ+ PLUS RIGHTS AT SCHOOL BRAD PROTEST AROUND SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA IS UNDER INVESTIGATION BY THE SERVICE OVER HIS ALLEGED AFFILIATIONS WITH EXTREMISTS INCLUDING THE PROUD BOYS A GROUP.

KPBS MILITARY REPORTER HAS A STORE PICKED >> BRYCE HENSON PARTICIPATED IN AT LEAST ONE DOZEN POLITICAL ROWS ACROSS SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA IN THE LAST 60 MINUTES.

SPEAKING OFTEN AT CITY COUNCIL AND THE SCHOOL BOARD MEETINGS IN ASSOCIATION WITH EXTREMIST GROUPS AS PART OF THEIR ANTI- LGBTQ+ MOVEMENT.

IN PUBLIC STATEMENTS AND UNDER FALSE NAMES, HENSON HAS CLAIMED HE IS A VETERAN.

IN TRUTH HE'S AN ACTIVE DUTY NAVY SEAL ASSIGNED TO THE NAVAL SPECIAL WARFARE TRAINING COMMAND IN CORONADO.

HIS ACTIVISM INCLUDING ALLEGED ASSOCIATIONS WITH MEMBERS OF THE PROUD BOYS IS NOW UNDER INVESTIGATION BY THE NAVY.

A NAVAL SPECIAL WARFARE SPOKESPERSON IN CORONADO TELLS KPBS THEY LAUNCHED AN INVESTIGATION INTO ALLEGATIONS ONE OF THE SAILORS VIOLATED THE MILITARY'S POLICY AGAINST PARTICIPATION WITH OR SUPPORTING EXTREMIST CAUSES.

IN ANTIFASCIST RESEARCHER ASKED KPBS NOT TO USE THEIR NAME SAYS THEY REPORTED HENSON TO HIS COMMANDERS THIS WEEK AND PROVIDED A COLLECTION OF VIDEO AND PHOTOGRAPHIC EVIDENCE OF HIM AT RALLIES WITH A LEGEND MEMBERS OF HATE GROUPS INCLUDING THE PROUD BOYS.

PHOTOS AND VIDEO BOTH CAPTURED IN VIEWED BY KPBS SHOW HENSON SHOULDER TO SHOULDER AT RALLIES WITH ALLEGED EXTREMISTS.

ONE HAS A PROUD BOY TATTOO AND ANOTHER HAS A LARGE TATTOO ON HIS HEAD AND A SWASTIKA ON HIS ARM.

HENSON COULD NOT BE REACHED FOR COMMENT THROUGH HIS ATTORNEY.

>>> EARLY THIS YEAR A NEW YORK HEDGE FUND THAT OWNS MORE THAN 200 NEWSPAPERS NATIONWIDE BOUGHT THE SAN DIEGO UNION TRIBUNE.

KPBS SAYS THOSE WITH QUESTIONS ABOUT WHAT WILL HAPPEN NEXT CANDLE TO NEWSPAPERS AND IN NEIGHBORING COUNTIES FOR ANSWERS.

[MUSIC] >> SITTING OUTSIDE A SANDWICH SHOP ON A RECENT FALL AFTERNOON, RIVERSIDE RESIDENT ROBBIE SHORT SAID HE'S A REGULAR VOTER.

BUT HE NEVER READS THE LOCAL NEWSPAPER, THE PRESS ENTERPRISE , BEFORE VOTING.

IF THAT, HE DOES NO RESEARCH AT ALL.

>> I WE SEE THE SAME NAMES MOST OF THE TIME.

AND IF I SEE NEW NAME, I WILL LOOK THEM UP OR I WANTED TO LOOK THEM UP AND I WOULD JUST VOTE FOR THE NEW NAME BECAUSE, WHY NOT.

>> FORMER RIVERSIDE MAYOR SAID THE PRESS ENTERPRISE USE TO MATTER A LOT MORE TO RESIDENTS.

HE RECALLS A TIME MORE THAN A DECADE AGO WHEN PEOPLE IN THE COMMUNITY AND ELECTED OFFICIALS READ THE LOCAL PAPER FIRST THING IN THE MORNING.

>> I'D BE SURPRISED IF ANYBODY AT CITY HALL LOOKS AT THE PRESS ENTERPRISE NOW.

>> TODAY THE NEWSROOM THAT WAS EMPLOYED MORE THAN 100 JOURNALISTS COVERING ALL OF RIVERSIDE COUNTY IS NOW DOWN TO A HANDFUL OF REPORTERS.

IN 2016, THE NEW YORK-BASED HEDGE FUND ALDEN GLOBAL CAPITAL BOUGHT THE PRESS ENTERPRISE.

A SIGNIFICANT NUMBER OF THOSE CUTS HAVE HAPPENED SINCE THEN.

>> THE WATCHDOG FUNCTION IS NOT THERE.

THE INFORMATION FUNCTION IS NOT THERE.

WE ARE AN EXPLICIT EXAMPLE OF THE DISAPPEARANCE OF LOCAL NEWS.

>> ALDEN ACQUIRED THE SAN DIEGO UNION TRIBUNE.

THEIR SIGNS THE TRIBUNE IS FOLLOWING IN THE FOOTSTEP OF THE PRESS ENTERPRISE.

BIAS, LAYOFFS AND BARE-BONES AND LOCAL COVERAGE.

HOURS AFTER ALDEN ANNOUNCED IT BOUGHT THE UNION TRIBUNE, THE COMPANY OFFERED BUYOUTS.

JOURNALS LEFT WITH DECADES OF COMMUNITY MEMORY.

OF CORRUPTION CASES, COURTS AND PUBLIC SAFETY AND POLITICS.

THIS LEASE COMMUNITIES DIVORCED FROM THE GIVE-AND-TAKE OF FORMULATING POLICY AND FROM DEMOCRACY ITSELF.

>> AMERICAN POLITICS ACCESS IS LOCAL.

NOT THAT THE STATE AND NOT AT THE FEDERAL LEVEL.

IT IS LOCAL.

THE ABSENCE OF INFORMATION MAKES THE DEMOCRATIC CONVERSATION LOCALLY ALMOST NONEXISTENT.

>> THE ORANGE COUNTY REGISTER IS ANOTHER CAUTIONARY TALE.

20 YEARS AGO THE PAPER HAD HUNDREDS OF JOURNALISTS COVERING SAN DIEGO'S NEIGHBOR TO THE NORTH.

FRANK WORKED AS A REPORTER, EDITOR AND COLUMNIST FOR THE REGISTER.

HE SAYS ITS MISSION WAS TO SATURATE THE COUNTY WITH NEWS COVERAGE.

>> WE HAD AN INVESTIGATIVE TEAM.

AND WE JUST POURED A LOT OF MONEY INTO AND RESOURCES INTO JUST EVERY CORNER OF JOURNALISM THAT EXISTED.

AND THAT WE TRIED TO INVENT.

IT WAS EXCITING TO BE A PART OF THAT.

>> ALDEN BOUGHT THE REGISTER IN 2016 B NOW SOURCES AT THE PAPER SAY ONE REPORTED HAS TO COVER AS MANY AS FIVE BIG CITIES.

CONSIDER A RECENT SCANDAL AT ANAHEIM CITY HALL.

DETAILS DIDN'T COME TO LIGHT UNTIL THE CITY RELEASED ITS OWN INVESTIGATIVE REPORT.

>> IT WAS SCARY IN THAT WE FOUND OUT ABOUT ANAHEIM, BUT WHO KNOWS HOW MANY OTHER ANAHEIM'S ARE OUT THERE?

WE DON'T KNOW.

AND WE MAY NEVER KNOW.

>> LIFELONG ANAHEIM RESIDENT CYNTHIA WARD SAYS NOW THE PUBLIC MUST GRAPPLE WITH THE CONSEQUENCES.

>> WHEN CORRUPTION GOES UNCHECKED, IT MEANS THAT MONEY THAT SHOULD BE COMING INTO OUR COMMUNITIES IS GOING INTO THE POCKETS OF SPECIAL INTEREST.

WHICH MEANS OUR TAXES HAVE TO GO UP TO FILL POTHOLES AND DO THE THINGS THAT WE COUNT ON BECAUSE THAT MONEY HAS BEEN SIPHONED OFF.

SO ULTIMATELY WE LOSE.

>> SHE SAYS THE ENTIRE COUNTRY, THE VERY REPUBLIC IS IN TROUBLE IF LOCAL NEWS COVERAGE CONTINUES ITS DOWNWARD SLIDE.

BUT THEY DO NOT BEGRUDGE ALDEN OR OTHER PRIVATE EQUITY FIRMS FOR HAULING OUT NEWSROOMS.

>> THEY DO WHAT THEY DO.

AND IT'S LIKE BLAMING A SHARK FOR DOING WHAT A SHARK DOES.

>> HE SAYS WE ARE ALL TO BLAME FOR LETTING IT HAPPEN.

>>> ALDEN GLOBAL CAPITAL DID NOT RESPOND TO CALLS AND EMAILS SEEKING COMMENT FOR THE STORY.

IN RESPONSE TO PREVIOUS KPBS COVERAGE GOT A COMPANY SPOKESPERSON OBJECTED TO ALDEN HE DESCRIBED AS A HEDGE FUND.

>>> IN PART TWO OF A SERIES ON ALDEN GLOBAL CAPITAL, WE LOOK AT THE FINANCIAL MODEL, THAT THE FIRM USES IN HALLOWING OUT NEWSROOMS.

YOU CAN FIND THE STORY ON OUR WEBSITE, KPBS.ORG.

>>> HOW SAFE IS AMERICA'S AVIATION SYSTEM?

THAT QUESTION WAS THE FOCUS OF A SENATE SUBCOMMITTEE HEARING TODAY.

A PANEL OF NATIONAL AIR TRAVEL INDUSTRY LEADERS TOLD LAWMAKERS THAT OVERALL AIR TRAVELERS ARE IN SAFE HANDS.

WE HAVE MORE FROM THE HEARING.

>> OUR SAFETY SYSTEM IS SHOWING CLEAR SIGNS OF STRAIN THAT WE CANNOT IGNORE.

>> A DIRE WARNING ABOUT AIR TRAVEL AS MILLIONS PREPARED TO FLIGHT THIS COMING HOLIDAY SEASON.

THE HEAD OF THE NTSB JOINED BY OTHER LEADERS IN THE AVIATION INDUSTRY TESTIFYING BEFORE A SENATE SUBCOMMITTEE THURSDAY IS NATIONAL CLOSE CALL INCIDENTS TAKE UPWARD.

>> THE NTSB HAS OPENED INVESTIGATIONS INTO SEVEN RUNWAY INCURSIONS THIS YEAR ALONE.

>> INCURSIONS WERE PLAYED UP AND CAME WITHIN SEVERAL HUNDRED FEET OF EACH OTHER.

IN HOUSTON TWO WEEKS AGO, TWO SMALL JETS ACTUALLY COLLIDED ON THE RUNWAY.

THERE WERE NO INJURIES IN THESE RECENT EVENTS.

>> ZERO HAS TO BE THE ONLY ACCEPTABLE NUMBER.

THE FAA REQUIRES MANDATORY OVERTIME TO THE CONTROL WORKFORCE INCLUDING REGULAR 60 WORK WEEKS AND TEN-HOUR DAYS.

THIS LEADS TO FATIGUE.

>> THE AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLERS UNION PRESENT SAY ONLY SIX FULLY TRAINED CONTROLLERS WERE HIRED OVER THE PAST YEAR.

>> THE FAA MUST ADOPT THE UPDATED AND MORE ACCURATE OPERATIONAL STAFFING TARGETS.

>> OUR AGENCY STAFFING AND FUNDING LEVELS HAVE REMAINED SOMEWHAT STAGNANT SINCE 1997.

>> ALL CRITICAL ISSUES THAT COULD WORSEN IF THE GOVERNMENT FAILS TO AVOID A SHUTDOWN IN EIGHT DAYS.

>> THAT WOULD FORCE THE FAA TO SUSPEND HIRING, CLOSE ITS TRAINING ACADEMY, DELAY THE PIPELINE OF NEW CONTROLLERS GOT DELAY MODERNIZATION WHICH WOULD BE A CATASTROPHIC IMPACT TO THE NATIONAL AIRSPACE SYSTEM.

>>> HEALTHCARE WORKERS WITH KAISER PERMANENTE ARE ALSO CELEBRATING A VICTORY.

85,000 MEMBERS OF THE SEI YOU YOU HW UNION VOTED TO RATIFY A NEW LABOR CONTRACT TODAY.

THE UNION REPRESENTS HEALTHCARE WORKERS AND HUNDREDS OF KAISER FACILITIES HERE IN CALIFORNIA.

THE CONTRACT WILL LAST FOR FOUR YEARS EXPIRING IN SEPTEMBER OF 2027.

THE TERMS INCLUDE RAISING WAGES BY 21% OVER THE DURATION OF THE CONTRACT.

ESTABLISHING A $25 $25 MINIMUM WAGE FOR WORKERS AND COVER YOU AND ACCELERATED HIRING PROCESSES AND MORE.

JOE CALLED LOOKS LIKE IT WILL SOON BE BACK IN ACTION.

AS A TENTATIVE DEAL IS REACHED BETWEEN ACTORS IN MAJOR FILM STUDIOS.

THE SAG AFTRA STRIKE OFFICIALLY ENDED AT 12:01 THIS MORNING.

THE UNION OFFICIAL SAID THE TENTATIVE AGREEMENT WOULD ENABLE SAG AFTRA MEMBERS FROM EVERY CATEGORY TO BUILD SUSTAINABLE CREWS.

ONE OF THE BIGGEST STICKING POINTS FOR ACTORS WAS TO ENSURE PROTECTIONS OF THE USE OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AS WAS GETTING PAID ON STREAMING RESIDUALS.

>> I WOULD EXPECT PRODUCTION TO RESUME FOR YOUR FAVORITE FILMS AND SERIES IN JANUARY.

AND THINGS THAT WERE PUSHED INTO THE FIRST QUARTER OF 2024, THOSE THINGS MIGHT STILL AIR BUT WE ARE LOOKING AT A LOT OF THINGS RETURNING IN THE SECOND QUARTER OF THE YEAR.

>>> THE TENTATIVE AGREEMENT WILL STILL NEED TO BE RATIFIED BEFORE IT BECOMES OFFICIAL.

>>> MANY COUNTRIES ACROSS THE MANY COMPANIES CROSS COUNTRY EXPAND WITH A FOUR-DAY WORKWEEK FOR THEIR PLACE AND NOW IN THE SURVEY IS PROVIDING MORE INSIGHT INTO THE TYPES OF SCHEDULES PEOPLE PREFER.

IVAN RODRIGUEZ EXPLAINS AND SAYS A FOUR-DAY WORKWEEK MAY NOT BE THE BEST OPTION FOR EVERYONE.

>> ONCE CONSIDERED OFFENSE HE GOT MORE AND MORE COMPANIES ARE EXPERIMENTING WITH THE FOUR-DAY WORKWEEK TESTING WHAT HAS ALWAYS BEEN THE NORM.

>> THERE WERE OBVIOUS BENEFITS FOR INDIVIDUALS IN THE SENSE OF HAVING MORE TIME FOR FAMILY, REST AND RECOVERY.

>> BUT THE METHODS.

WITH THE EMPLOYEES.

>> HAVING THOSE BOUNDARIES REALLY ENCOURAGES COMPANIES TO THINK ABOUT THEIR PROCESSES, AND MAKE THEM WORK MORE EFFECTIVELY AND MAKE THEM MORE RESILIENT AND STILL SINGLE ORGANIZATIONS.

>> WHEN PEOPLE WERE ASKED HOW DIFFERENT OPTIONS WOULD IMPACT THEIR WELL-BEING AT WORK, 77% OF U.S. WORKERS SAID A FOUR- DAY, 40 HOUR WORKWEEK WOULD HAVE A POSITIVE IMPACT.

ACCORDING TO A NEW GALLUP SURVEY.

BUT EXPERTS SAY THOSE TEN-HOUR DAYS COULD LEAD TO BURNOUT.

>> IS A QUESTION OF, DO YOU LIKE A THREE DAY WEEKEND MORE THAN YOU HATE 10 HOUR WORKDAYS.

>> THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC FORCED EMPLOYERS TO EMBRACE WORK FROM HOME AND HYBRID OPTIONS.

BUT NOW ECONOMIC UNCERTAINTY IS LEADING LARGE COMPANIES TO ORDER THEIR EMPLOYEES TO RETURN TO THE OFFICE.

SO WOULD A FOUR-DAY WORK WEEK EVER BE EMBRACED BY THE CORPORATE WORLD?

MAKE WE SEE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE LARGEST COMPANIES REALLY DOUBLING DOWN AGAINST FLEXIBILITY OVER THE PAST FEW MONTHS.

BUT FLEXIBILITY STILL THRIVING AMONG SMALL AND MIDSIZED BUSINESS IS THAT ARE USING THAT BENEFIT AND INFLEXIBILITY AS A BENEFIT TO ATTRACT WORKERS THAT WOULDN'T NECESSARILY CONSIDER THEM OTHERWISE.

>>> CALIFORNIA LAWMAKERS ARE ALREADY EXPRESSING CONCERN OF THE STATES PLAN TO ALLEVIATE THE INSURANCE CRISIS.

ANDREW HOEPPNER REPORTS FROM SEGMENTAL.

>> THE COMMUNITY A FOR SALE IS ONE OF MANY.

AT THE MERCY OF A WILDFIRE AND NOW SUBJECT TO INSURANCE PROBLEMS.

>> THE INSURANCE COMPANIES ARE PULLING OUT OF VAST AREAS OF CALIFORNIA CLAIMING THERE IS TOO MANY FIRES.

WELL, THERE ARE BIG FIRES, NO DOUBT ABOUT IT.

BUT FOR THE LAST TWO YEARS, THERE HAVEN'T BEEN AS MANY FIRES.

>> CONGRESSMAN JOHN IS ONE OF 32 DEMOCRATIC LAWMAKERS ARE CONCERNED OVER THE STATE SUSTAINABLE INSURANCE STRATEGY.

>> ARE LETTER TO THE COMMISSIONER IS TO USE YOUR POWER TO ANALYZE THIS MARKET AND TO SET IT STRAIGHT.

>> AND COMMITTEES LIKE FOR- SALE, RATES HAVE SPIKED IN MORE RISK HAS BEEN ASSESSED TO OTHERS.

>> DO THEY NEED TO BE DOUBLED AND QUADRUPLED AS PRESENTLY ACROSS THE STATE.

THE POLICIES NEED TO BE CANCELED.

IF SO, WHY.

TO >> WHICH IS THE CRUX OF THE ISSUE.

ONE, THAT CVI SPOKE TO MICHAEL SOLER SAYS CAN BE LIMITED.

>> THE TIMELINE IS URGENT AND IMMEDIATE TO BE MAKING THESE CHANGES.

AND SO WHAT YOU SEE IN THE COMING MONTHS IS YOU WILL SEE THE DEPARTMENT OF PROVING INSURANCE COMPANIES TO OFFER DISCOUNTS.

>> THE CDI SAYS THE DEAL FAVORS INTEREST.

>> WAS CLEAR WITH CALIFORNIANS ACROSS THE STATE IS WE NEED MORE TOOLS.

NOT FEWER REGULATORY TOOLS.

>> AS BOTH SIDES FEEL THE HEAT FROM CONSUMERS.

>> 32 MEMBERS OF CONGRESS ARE BEING HAMMERED BY THEIR CONSTITUENTS SAYING, WHAT IS GOING ON HERE?

>>> CALIFORNIA LAWMAKERS AND REGULATORS MAKE CHANGES TO SOLAR RULES FOR COMPLEXES WITH MORE THAN ONE ELECTRIC METER.

THE NEW PROPOSED RULES TO MAKE IT EASIER FOR RENTAL COMPLEXES TO ADD SOLAR ARRAYS BY ALLOWING FOR MORE OF A FORM OF VIRTUAL NET METERING.

THAT'S A WAY TO SHOW THE BENEFITS OF SOLAR BETWEEN OWNERS OF THE BUILDING AND RENTERS BUT THE PROPOSED DECISION STILL SETS OUT SCHOOLS, FARMS AND SMALL BUSINESSES.

AND APARTMENT BUILDINGS CANNOT USE SOLAR TO OFFSET ELECTRIC BILLS FOR CAR CHARGING OR POWERING COMMON AREAS.

SO ADVOCATES TO DEVISE PLAN STILL UNDERCUTS THE FINANCIAL INCENTIVE TO ADD SOLAR.

>>> VOLUNTEERS SPENT THE DAY REPAIRING AND UPGRADING THE ECOLOGICALLY SENSITIVE LAND NEAR THE MOUTH OF NORTH SAN DIEGO COUNTY LAGOON.

ERIC ANDERSON REPORTED SAYS THEY HOPE THE HARD WORK PAYS OFF.

>> VOLUNTEERS PREPARED FENCES, PLANTED NATIVE PLANTS AND PLACED OYSTER WATTLES NEAR A HIKING TRAIL TO CONTROL EROSION.

JEREMIAH COOPER PULLED STUBBORN INVASIVE WEED LONGSHORE.

>> THIS IS STUCK RIGHT NOW AND I AM TRYING TO PULL UP THE GYPSUM WEED FROM THIS ROCK.

>> THIS LAGOON HAS A NARROW OPENING TO THE OCEAN.

ROADS CROSS IT IN THREE PLACES.

AND CARLSBAD HOMES ARE BUILT VERY CLOSE TO THE WATER.

THE URBAN PRESSURE IS INTENSE BUT BOOSTERS ARE LOOKING TO BUILD PUBLIC APPRECIATION.

>> THE BIGGEST CONCERN IS JUST THE AMOUNT OF TRAFFIC AND THE MISUSE OF THE LAGOON.

WE ARE BIG PROPONENTS OF ACTIVE USE AND BALANCED USE AND MAKING OUR FUTURE GENERATIONS WHERE THEY NEED TO PROTECT, CONSERVE SO THAT FUTURE GENERATIONS CAN ENJOY THIS USE.

>> THIS LAGOON CAN ALSO PLAY A ROLE IN FIGHTING CLIMATE CHANGE.

LOCALS HAVE NOTICED THE RISING SEA LEVELS AND ECOLOGY SEE PRESERVATION OF LAGOONS NATURAL SYSTEMS IS AVAILABLE HEDGE AGAINST A WARMING PLANET.

THE LAGOONS AND WETLANDS CAN SCORE 2-5 TIMES MORE CARBON THAN TERRESTRIAL ECOSYSTEMS.

>> YOU HAVE THESE AREAS SURROUNDING CALLED TRANSITION ZONES WERE AT SEA LEVEL RISES, SALTMARSH CAN MIGRATE UPWARD INTO THESE AREAS.

AND EVEN WHEN THEY BECOME SUBMERGED OR INTERTIDAL THEY STILL ACT AS FUN TO MAKE HEALTHY SALTMARSH ECOSYSTEMS.

>> THIS IMMEDIATE RESTORATION WORK HAS IMMEDIATE IMPACT.

BUT EVERYONE IS ALSO KEEPING AN EYE ON CLIMATE CHANGE AND WHAT WILL HAPPEN HERE IN THE FUTURE.

>>> LET'S LOOK AT THE WEATHER HEADLINES FOR SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA.

IN THE SAN DIEGO AIR.

THE SANTA ANA WINDS HAVEN'T BEEN ACTIVE BUT THEY ARE BEGINNING TO WIND DOWN THIS EVENING SO THAT WE WILL PUT THAT BEHIND US.

WE LOOK AT SOME OF THE TOP WIND GUST REPORTS FROM SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA.

IN A FEW SECONDS.

WE SEE A LITTLE BIT OF COOLING ALONG THE COAST FOR FRIDAY.

COMPARED TO WHERE WE WERE TODAY.

FOR ANYONE ELSE BUT NOT MUCH TEMPERATURE CHANGE INTO FRIDAY.

TOMORROW WE BOUNCE UP NICELY.

BORREGO SPRINGS AT 78.

51 AT MT.

LAGUNA.

THAT'S WHERE THE COOL AIR WILL BE FOUND.

IN THE CITY WE WILL SEE MID- 70s.

LOOKING DOWN THE LINE.

THIS IS FOR THE SECOND HALF OF NEXT WEEK.

A STORMY STRETCH WILL ROLL IN.

LOOKING AT ESPECIALLY LOCALLY THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY.

RAIN WILL BE ROLLING IN.

IT WILL BE EARLIER TO THE NORTHWEST BUT SIGNIFICANT RAIN AND HEAVY METAL SMALL SNOW IN THE SIERRA AND THAT WILL SUPPRESS BUYER ACTIVITY.

THE CLASS WILL BEGIN TO ROLL INTO THE COAST ON TUESDAY.

BUT UNTIL THEN, A PRETTY EASY STRETCH IN THE MID TO UPPER 70s.

IN LYNN AREA WILL HAVE A CHANGE ON TUESDAY.

CLOUDY AND THEN THE RAIN WILL FOLLOW BY THURSDAY.

YOU MAY SEE SOME OF THAT LATE ON WEDNESDAY THOUGH.

MOUNTAINOUS AREAS IN THE LOW 50s.

CLOUDS INCREASE INTO TUESDAY AHEAD OF THE RAIN.

AND THEN INTO THE DESERT YOU CAN SEE UPPER 70s.

NEAR 80.

81 ON SUNDAY.

AND THEN THE CLOUDS WILL FILL IN WITH CHANGES ON WEDNESDAY IN THE DESERTS.

MAJOR LEAGUE SOCCER COMMISSIONER DON GARBER SAID THIS CLUB IS NOT YOUR TYPICAL EXPANSION TEAM.

>> WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT WHAT THIS FACILITY IS WHICH IS DIFFERENT THAN ALL OTHERS, IT'S GLOBAL IN NATURE.
