♪ >>> MAJOR FUNDING FOR KPBS "EVENING EDITION" HAS BEEN MADE POSSIBLE IN PART BY BILL HOWE FAMILY OF COMPANIES, PROVIDING SAN DIEGO WITH PLUMBING, HEATING, AIR, RESTORATION AND FLOO SERVICES FOR OVER 40 YEARS.

CALL 1-800-BILL-HOWE OR VISIT BILLHOWE.COM.

AND BY THE CONRAD PREBYS FOUNDATION, DARLENE MARCOS SHILEY, AND BY THE FOLLOWING.

AND BY VIEWERS LIKE YOU.

THANK YOU.

>>> SO THE ASTRONAUTS WHO MADE THE FIRST TRIP TO THE MOON IN MORE THAN 50 YEARS ARE ALMOST HOME.

YOU'RE LOOKING AT LIVE PICTURES FROM NASA.

WE'RE JUST MOMENTS AWAY FROM THE SMASHDOWN OF THE ARTEMIS II OFF THE COAST OF SAN DIEGO.

THANKS FOR JOINING US.

I'M JADE HINDMAN IN FOR MAYA TRABULSI.

YOU KNOW, PEOPLE ALL OVER THE WORLD ARE WATCHING INCLUDING HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE AT THE SAN DIEGO AIR AND SPACE MUSEUM.

AND KPBS REPORTER JOHN CARROLL IS THERE WITH THEM.

JOHN, YOU WOKE UP READY FOR THIS.

I LOVE THIS SHIRT.

YOU'VE GOT THE RIGHT OUTFIT ON.

HOW'S IT GOING OUT THERE?

>> Reporter: JADE, I THINK THAT YOU COULD CALL IT SOMETHING ALONG THE LINES OF CONTROLLED CHAOS.

PARTIAL PANDEMONIUM.

PICK YOUR ALLITERATION.

EVERY TIME SOMETHING HAPPENS LIKE WHEN THE CAPSULE FIRST SEPARATED FROM THE LOWER PART OF THE SPACECRAFT, A HUGE CHEER GOES UP HERE.

NOW, YOU SEE A LOT OF THE FOLKS BEHIND ME.

I AM TOLD BY AIR AND SPACE MUSEUM STAFF THAT THEY WERE EXPECTING, AND IT LOOKS LIKE THEY'VE GOT A THOUSAND PEOPLE HERE IN THE PAVILION.

WE'RE RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE FAMILIAR WITH THE MUSEUM.

IN THE PAVILION.

AND AROUND THE OTHER SIDE IN MY LINE OF SIGHT RIGHT HERE WE HAVE ONE HUGE SCREEN AND THEN TWO OTHER SMALL SCREENS, WHICH EVERYONE OF COURSE IS RIVETED TO RIGHT NOW.

BUT BEFORE WE GET TO THE BIG MOMENT, EARLIER THIS AFTERNOON I SPOKE WITH JIM KIDRIC, WHO IS THE CEO AND PRESIDENT OF THIS MUSEUM.

HE GAVE US A LITTLE COMPARATIVE HISTORY LESSON ON HOW TODAY'S ARTEMIS MISSIONS COMPARE TO THOSE OF YESTERYEAR.

>> WE HAVE ARTEMIS II, WHICH IS REALLY THE OLD APOLLO 8.

OKAY?

REMEMBER BILL ANDERS, FRANK NORMAN, JIM LOVELL.

HUMAN BEINGS UP TO THE MOON BUT NOT LANDING.

SO APOLLO 9, WHICH IS THE CAPSULE WE HAVE, IS ARTEMIS 3.

THEY'RE GOING TO GO OUT AND PRACTICE WITH THE LANDERS AND DOCKINGS AND RENDEZVOUSES AND ALL THAT.

THEN ARTEMIS 4 IS GOING TO LAND ON THE MOON THE EQUIVALENT OF APOLLO 11.

SO IT'S REALLY SPECIAL BECAUSE I THINK PEOPLE ARE NOW REALIZING, FIRST OF ALL, TECHNOLOGY IS PHENOMENAL.

OKAY?

THIS FLIGHT THAT THEY'RE RETURNING FROM A LITTLE BIT LATER TODAY IS SPECIAL BECAUSE IT TESTED EVERYTHING.

A NEW ROCKET, A NEW CAPSULE.

YOU KNOW, NEW EQUIPMENT.

FLAT SCREENS.

YOU KNOW, WE ALL JOKE ABOUT THIS.

BUT OKAY, THIS WAS MORE TECHNOLOGY THAN IN MERCURY, GEMINI OR APOLLO.

>> Reporter: ALL RIGHT.

BACK OUT HERE LIVE.

AND THE PANDEMONIUM CONTINUES.

THE -- IT'S PRETTY AMAZING.

THE CAMERAS FROM EARTH ARE NOW PICKING UP THE CAPSULE HURTLING THROUGH SPACE ON ITS WAY TO THE PACIFIC OCEAN.

BUT WHILE WE WAIT FOR IT TO GET DOWN THERE I HAVE A GUEST.

AND HE TOO IS RIVETED TO THE EXCITEMENT ON THE SCREENS.

THIS IS ARCHER BOBIA.

HE IS 6 YEARS OLD.

AND AS YOU CAN SEE, HE'S DEFINITELY A NASA AND ARTEMIS II FAN.

ARCHER, TELL -- OH, HOLD ON JUST A MINUTE.

THEY WON'T BE ABLE TO HEAR YOU.

JUST A MOMENT.

OH, BOY.

WHAT DO YOU HAVE THERE?

OH, THAT'S VERY COOL.

YEAH.

WELL, LET'S WAIT FOR IT TO CALM DOWN A LITTLE BIT.

JUST A SECOND.

I DON'T KNOW THAT IT'S GOING TO CALM DOWN.

TELL ME, WHAT IS GOING ON HERE TODAY?

WHY ARE YOU HERE?

>> TO WATCH THE BRAVE ASTRONAUTS LAND.

>> AND WHAT KIND OF VEHICLE ARE THEY IN?

>> ARTEMIS II.

>> WHAT IS THAT?

>> IT'S A SPACESHIP.

>> Reporter: IT IS INDEED A SPACESHIP.

IS THIS REALLY COOL?

>> YES.

>> Reporter: TELL ME WHAT YOU'VE LEARNED ABOUT IT IN SCHOOL AND EVERYTHING.

>> I LEARNED -- NOT THAT MUCH.

BUT I LEARNED A LOT.

I FORGET MOST OF IT.

BECAUSE I'M ON VACATION RIGHT NOW.

>> Reporter: OH.

I SEE.

>> AND IT'S BEEN A WHOLE WEEK.

SO I KIND OF FORGET -- FORGOT.

>> Reporter: YOU KIND OF FORGOT.

OKAY.

WELL, WE'RE ALL WATCHING IT HAPPEN.

MOM IS OVER THERE VIEWING THE WHOLE THING.

ALL RIGHT, ARCHER.

I KNOW IT'S KIND OF HARD TO HEAR YOU.

BUT THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR TALKING TO ME TODAY.

OKAY?

ALL RIGHT.

SO HERE WE ARE WAITING FOR THE -- LET ME GET OVER HERE JUST SO I CAN WATCH ALONG WITH YOU ALL AS TO WHAT'S HAPPENING SO I DON'T STEP ON ANY REALLY IMPORTANT MOMENT.

NOW WE HAVE THE FINAL PARACHUTES DEPLOYED.

THEY DEPLOYED A FIRST SET WHEN THEY WERE STILL FURTHER UP.

AND THEN THOSE GET LET GO.

AND NOW THESE PARACHUTES ARE THE ONES THAT WILL TAKE THEM I BELIEVE I'M CORRECT IN SAYING THAT DOWN INTO THE OCEAN.

OF COURSE THEY ARE OFF THE COAST OF SAN DIEGO.

THE "USS JOHN MURTHA" IS OUT THERE.

THEY WILL BE PICKED UP BY HELICOPTERS, AND THEN THEY WILL BE -- OR FOLKS, EXCUSE ME, IN BOATS.

CREWS WILL COME AND PLUCK THEM OUT OF THE ARTEMIS II CRAFT.

AND THEN THEY WILL BE TAKEN TO THE "USS JOHN MURTHA."

THEY WILL BE CHECKED OUT, AND THEY WILL BE BROUGHT BACK HERE TO SAN DIEGO.

AND THEN AT SOME POINT IN THE VERY NEAR FUTURE, I THINK WITHIN A DAY, THEY WILL BE FLOWN BACK TO HOUSTON.

SO THERE WE GO.

WE'RE WATCHING AS THE ORANGE AND WHITE PARACHUTES ARE GENTLY TAKING ARTEMIS II BACK TO EARTH.

YOU KNOW, YOU GUYS, IT WAS MOVING AT THOUSANDS OF MILES PER HOUR WHEN IT WAS COMING INTO THE ATMOSPHERE.

AND I WANT TO MAKE SURE I GET THIS RIGHT.

I WAS QUITE STRUCK BY THE -- BY THE CHANGE IN SPEED.

AND THERE'S SO MANY FACTS TO KEEP IN MIND HERE.

I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT I GET IT RIGHT.

YES, THEY ARE GOING TO AT APPROXIMATELY 5:07, THEY ARE GOING TO SLOW, WHICH IS COMING UP IN ABOUT A MINUTE.

TO 20 MILES PER HOUR.

AND THAT IS WHEN THE ORION WILL SPLASH DOWN IN THE OCEAN, COMPLETING THE ARTEMIS II'S CREW'S RETURN TO EARTH.

A 694,481-MILE JOURNEY.

AND THEN AS I WAS SAYING MEMBERS OF THE MILITARY WILL TAKE THEM OUT OF THE SPACECRAFT.

THEY WILL BE FLOWN TO THE MURTHA.

AND THEN THEY WILL -- THEY WILL MAKE THEIR WAY BACK HERE TO SAN DIEGO AND EVENTUALLY TO HOUSTON.

YOU KNOW, SAN DIEGO REALLY IS THE PERFECT PLACE FOR THIS TO BE HAPPENING.

NOT JUST BECAUSE OF WHERE WE ARE GEOGRAPHICALLY ON THE EARTH BUT THE HISTORY OF AEROSPACE IN THIS CITY IS REALLY QUITE REMARKABLE.

YOU KNOW, AEROSPACE DOES HAVE A LONG HISTORY HERE.

IT DATES BACK TO THE EARLY 1900s WHEN RYAN AIRLINES BUILT THE FIRST SPIRIT OF ST.

LOUIS AIRCRAFT.

AND RUBEN FLEET, THAT NAME SOUNDS FAMILIAR, RIGHT?

BROUGHT CONSOLIDATED AIRCRAFT CORPORATION TO LINDBERGH FIELD.

AND THEN SINCE THEN SAN DIEGO'S AEROSPACE INDUSTRY HAS OF COURSE BEEN AN INTEGRAL PART OF OUR ECONOMY HERE AND OF COURSE THE ECONOMY OF THIS COUNTRY.

HERE WE GO.

I SAID I DON'T WANT TO STEP ON ANY IMPORTANT MOMENTS HERE.

SO I'M JUST GOING TO BE QUIET FOR A MINUTE.

[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] YOU KNOW, YOU'RE NEVER SURE WITH THESE THINGS.

OBVIOUSLY YOU CAN DO ALL THE ENGINEERING AND ALL THE TESTING THAT YOU WANT.

BUT OF COURSE AS WE KNOW FROM THE HISTORY OF NASA THINGS CAN GO TERRIBLY WRONG.

BUT IT -- OH.

WELL, THERE THEY ARE.

SO TODAY EVERYTHING APPEARS TO HAVE GONE RIGHT.

JADE, DID YOU WANT TO ASK ME ANYTHING?

IF I CAN HEAR YOU, THAT IS.

[ CROWD CHANTING "USA" ] THAT'S IT FROM OUT HERE.

WHAT A GREAT DAY FOR SAN DIEGO, FOR THE NATION, AND FOR THE WORLD.

LIVE AT THE AIR AND SPACE MUSEUM JOHN CARROLL, KPBS NEWS.

>>> I'M ARIELLA SCALISE.

COMING UP TONIGHT, MOSTLY CLOUDY WITH SOME SHOWERS AS TEMPERATURES DROP TO THE 60s.

GUSTY WINDS AS WE HEAD INTO THE WEEKEND.

AND THEN ANOTHER STORM WILL BRING US ANOTHER ROUND OF WET WEATHER.

BUT WE'LL SHOW YOU WHEN THINGS WARM UP AND DRY OUT.

THAT'S COMING UP.

>> OH, MY GOSH.

WATCHING THAT ARTEMIS SPLASH DOWN WAS SO EXCITING.

AND THERE ARE SO MANY TIES TO SAN DIEGO TOO.

BUT WE'RE GOING TO MAKE A SHARP TURN NOW TO NEWS ABOUT CONGRESSMAN ERIC SWALWELL, WHO IS DENYING PUBLISHED ALLEGATIONS THAT HE SEXUALLY ASSAULTED A STAFFER.

SWALWELL IS ONE OF THE LEADING CANDIDATES FOR CALIFORNIA GOVERNOR.

HE SAYS THE ACCUSATIONS REPORTED IN THE "SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE" ARE FALSE.

SEVERAL OF HIS DEMOCRATIC RIVALS HAVE CALLED HIM TO DROP OUT OF RACE.

HE SAYS HE WILL DEFEND HIMSELF WITH THE FACTS AND WHERE NECESSARY BRING LEGAL ACTION.

>>> ALL EYES WILL BE ON PAKISTAN THIS WEEKEND AS THE U.S.

AND IRAN PREPARE FOR HISTORIC NEGOTIATIONS.

HANGING IN THE BALANCE, THE LIVES OF MILLIONS OF PEOPLE ACROSS THE MIDDLE EAST AND THE FATE OF THE GLOBAL ECONOMY.

MICHAEL YOSHIDA REPORTS.

>> Reporter: SECURITY IN AND AROUND ISLAMABAD, PAKISTAN IS TIGHTENING AS THE STAGE IS SET FOR MAKE OR BREAK TALKS BETWEEN THE U.S.

AND IRAN.

>> WE'RE TRYING TO HAVE A POSITIVE NEGOTIATION.

THE PRESIDENT GAVE US SOME PRETTY CLEAR GUIDELINES.

>> Reporter: A FRAGILE TWO-WEEK CEASEFIRE PAVING THE WAY FOR THE TALKS AND HOLDING FOR NOW BUT CONTINUED STRIKES BETWEEN ISRAEL AND IRAN-BACKED HEZBOLLAH COULD THREATEN ANY POTENTIAL DEAL.

PRIME MINISTER BENJAMIN NETANYAHU SAYS ISRAEL WANTS DIRECT TALKS WITH LEBANON ON DISARMING HEZBOLLAH.

HE INSISTS LEBANON IS NOT PART OF THE CEASEFIRE DEAL.

>> ISRAEL IN GENERAL IS NOT ENTHUSIASTIC ABOUT THE OVERALL TALKS BETWEEN THE U.S.

AND IRAN.

IT'S AFRAID THAT PRESIDENT TRUMP MIGHT ACCEPT A LIMITED DEAL AND LEAVE IRAN QUITE INFLUENTIAL AND POWERFUL IN THE REGION.

>> Reporter: THE CEASEFIRE ISN'T GIVING OIL SHIPPERS THE NERVE TO BRAVE THE NARROW STRAIT OF HORMUZ.

CLEAR GUIDANCE ON HOW AND WHEN TO TRANSIT AND A LONG-TERM VIEW OF THE STRAIT'S FUTURE ARE STILL MISSING.

RIPPLE EFFECTS FROM THE WAR IN IRAN ARE DRIVING UP GAS PRICES AND IN TURN INCREASING U.S.

INFLATION ACCORDING TO THE LATEST CONSUMER PRICE INDEX REPORT.

>> IT COULD STILL BE QUITE AFFORDABLE IF THEY REACH SOME SORT OF ACCORD HERE.

BUT YOU'RE LOSING SO MUCH OIL EVERY DAY THAT TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE.

>> Reporter: FRIDAY'S ROAR SHOWED THE ANNUAL RATE OF INFLATION REACHED 3.3% IN MARCH, UP FROM 2.4% IN FEBRUARY.

IN WASHINGTON MICHAEL YOSHIDA, KPBS NEWS.

>>> A LAWSUIT CHALLENGING THE CITY OF SAN DIEGO'S TRASH PICKUP FEE IS NOW LIKELY BOUND FOR TRIAL.

THAT TRIAL IS TENTATIVELY SCHEDULED TO BEGIN NEXT MONTH.

YESTERDAY A JUDGE DENIED THE CITY'S REQUEST TO HAVE THE LAWSUIT DISMISSED.

HOMEOWNERS SUED THE CITY FOLLOWING THE PASSAGE OF MEASURE B, ENDING FREE COLLECTION SERVICES FOR SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES.

PLAINTIFFS ALLEGE THE FEES VIOLATE A STATE BALLOT MEASURE THAT HOLDS UTILITY FEES CANNOT EXCEED THE COST OF PROVIDING THOSE SERVICES.

BUT CITY ATTORNEYS ARGUE EXPECTED REVENUES OVER THE NEXT FOUR YEARS COULD EXCEED THE COST OF SERVICE.

>>> AND NEW DATA CONFIRMED SOMETHING MANY PEOPLE MIGHT ALREADY SUSPECT.

MOST SAN DIEGO COLLEGE STUDENTS ARE USING ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE.

KPBS EDUCATION REPORTER KATIE ANASTAS SAYS THEY ALSO HAVE CONCERNS ABOUT ACCURACY AND JOB SECURITY.

>> EVERYONE I KNOW USES IT AND I FEEL LIKE THEY CAN'T THINK ON THEIR OWN.

>> Reporter: LEAH HARRIS STUDIES HOSPITALITY AND TOURISM AT SAN DIEGO STATE.

SHE'S A FRESHMAN AND SHE SAYS SHE WAS SURPRISED TO FIND HER COLLEGE CLASSMATES USED AI IN THEIR SCHOOLWORK.

>> IT'S VERY WEIRD.

I'D GET IN TROUBLE IN HIGH SCHOOL FOR THAT.

GET YELLED AT.

>> Reporter: ZOE LAMB STUDIES POLITICAL SCIENCE.

SHE SAYS SHE USES AI TO HELP HER WRITE ESSAY AND GET SUMMARIES OF READING ASSIGNMENTS.

>> I FEEL LIKE IT'S MAKING ME DUMBER.

>> I WAS GOING TO SAY.

>> I'M TOO RELIANT OR DEPENDENT ON IT.

AND LIKE I'M AWARE OF THAT BUT I'M STILL USING IT.

>> Reporter: MORE THAN 94,000 STUDENTS, FACULTY AND STAFF ACROSS THE STATE FILLED OUT A SURVEY ABOUT AI LAST FALL.

NEARLY 90% OF SAN DIEGO'S COLLEGE STUDENTS SAID THEY USE CHATGPT.

MOST AGREED AI WILL BECOME AN ESSENTIAL PART OF MOST PROFESSIONS.

DAVID GOLDBERG HELPED DEVELOP THE SURVEY.

>> STUDENTS ARE TELLING US A LITTLE BIT MORE EVERY YEAR THAT THEY SEE SOME POSITIVE IMPACTS OF AI ON LEARNING, THAT THEY USE AI TO STUDY FOR AN EXAM OR TO CREATE FLASHCARDS IN A WAY THAT HELPS THEM IMPROVE THEIR PERFORMANCE IN CLASS.

BUT AT THE SAME TIME THERE ARE THESE CONCERNS ABOUT ARE THEY OVERRELYING ON IT AND IS IT REPLACING SOME OF THE COGNITIVE DEVELOPMENT THAT IS SUPPOSED TO GO ON IN THESE COURSES.

>> Reporter: THERE ARE ALSO CONCERNS ABOUT ACCURACY.

MOST STUDENTS STRONGLY DISAGREED THAT THEY'D FEEL COMFORTABLE SUBMITTING A PROMPT TO AN AI LIKE CHATGPT AND TURNING IN THE ANSWER IT PROVIDES.

MORE THAN 8 IN 10 STUDENTS SAID THEY WORRY ABOUT AI'S EFFECTS ON CREATIVITY, PRIVACY AND JOB SECURITY.

>> CLEARLY PEOPLE SEE VALUE IN USING THEM.

OTHERWISE, THEY WOULDN'T DO IT SO OFTEN.

BUT ALSO THEY SEE THESE NEGATIVES, HOW CAN WE HELP SCAFFOLD THINGS IN THE MOST POSITIVE DIRECTION POSSIBLE.

>> Reporter: SOME OF THAT SCAFFOLDING IS ALREADY IN PROGRESS.

CSU HAS MADE AI TOOLS AND TRAINING AVAILABLE ACROSS THE SYSTEM.

SAN DIEGO STATE OFFERS A BRIEF COURSE ON HOW AI WORKS, WHAT IT CAN DO AND ETHICAL CONSIDERATIONS.

DURING THIS YEAR'S WINTER BREAK ABOUT 80 FACULTY MEMBERS MET TO PLAN HOW THEY COULD INCORPORATE AI INTO THEIR CLASSES.

THE SDSU FACULTY SENATE ALSO PASSED A RESOLUTION REQUIRING FACULTY TO LIST AI POLICYS ON THEIR SYLLABI.

>> IT COULD BE YOUR AI USE IS TOTALLY PROHIBITED.

IT COULD BE THAT YOU CAN USE IT BUT THERE ARE CERTAIN RULES ABOUT HOW YOU USE IT AND WHAT YOU USE IT FOR.

AND THAT IS UP TO THE INSTRUCTOR.

BUT AT LEAST GIVE STUDENTS SOMETHING TO GO ON IN TERMS OF EXPECTATIONS.

>> Reporter: ONE THING MOST PEOPLE AGREE ON, AI IS HERE TO STAY.

KATIE ANASTAS, KPBS NEWS.

>>> I'M GEOFF BENNETT.

TONIGHT -- IRAN MAKES NEW DEMANDS AHEAD OF PEACE TALKS.

THAT'S AT 7:00 AFTER "EVENING EDITION."

>>> AND THE U.S.

POST OFFICE IS CELEBRATING THE NATION'S 250th BIRTHDAY WITH THE LAUNCH OF NEW FOREVER STAMPS.

THEY HONOR 25 MEN AND WOMEN WHO HELPED SHAPE THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION AND U.S.

INDEPENDENCE.

THE MODERN DEPICTIONS WERE CREATED BY A DOZEN ARTISTS FOR THIS PROJECT.

AND THE SHEET OF 25 STAMPS COSTS $19.50.

>>> A SAN DIEGO LAWMAKER WANTS CHAIN RESTAURANTS TO IDENTIFY DRINKS PACKED WITH SUGAR.

KPBS HEALTH REPORTER HEIDI DiMARCO SAYS A NEW BILL MOVING THROUGH SACRAMENTO WOULD REQUIRE LABELS ON BEVERAGES THAT EXCEED RECOMMENDED SUGAR LIMITS.

>> Reporter: THAT MORNING COFFEE, AFTERNOON SODA OR SMOOTHIE COULD SOON COME WITH A LABEL.

>> AS A PHYSICIAN I KNOW FIRSTHAND HOW EXCESSIVE ADDED SUGAR CAN LEAD TO OBESITY, TYPE 2 DIABETES, HEART DISEASE AND OTHER CHRONIC ILLNESSES.

>> Reporter: SENATOR AKILA WEBER PIERSON WANTS PEOPLE TO KNOW HOW MUCH SUGAR IS IN THEIR DRINKS.

THE NEW BILL WOULD REQUIRE CHAINS TO LABEL ANYTHING CONTAINING MORE THAN 25 GRAMS OF SUGAR.

>> SB869 IS ABOUT TRANSPARENCY.

IT'S ABOUT GIVING PEOPLE SIMPLE INFORMATION AT THE MOMENT THAT THEY'RE MAKING THE DECISION.

SO THAT THEY CAN MAKE THE BEST CHOICES FOR THEMSELVES AND THEIR FAMILIES.

>> Reporter: SAN DIEGO COUNTY PEDIATRIC DENTIST PHAEDRA WHITE HAS SPENT YEARS ADVOCATING TO REDUCE SUGARY DRINK CONSUMPTION, ESPECIALLY AMONG CHILDREN.

>> A LOT OF FAMILIES DON'T REALIZE HOW HARMFUL THAT IS TO THEIR TEETH AND TO THEIR OVERALL HEALTH.

>> Reporter: WHITE SAYS WHAT SHE SEES IN THE EXAM CHAIR OFTEN STARTS WITH WHAT'S IN THE CUP.

>> WE'RE SEEING EXTENSIVE DECAY IN OUR COMMUNITIES DUE TO THE ADDED SUGARS.

>> Reporter: SHE SAYS ADDED SUGAR IS FOUND ACROSS EVERYDAY DRINKS AND CAN QUICKLY ADD UP THROUGHOUT THE DAY.

>> WE HAVE BEVERAGES THEY'RE DRINKING A LOT.

THEN WE HAVE OUR COFFEES AND OUR TEAS.

BUT THEN WE HAVE SODAS.

>> Reporter: IN A LETTER OPPOSING THE BILL THE CALIFORNIA RESTAURANT ASSOCIATION SAYS THE MANDATE WOULD BE COSTLY AND UNNECESSARY.

ARGUING RESTAURANTS ALREADY PROVIDE DETAILED NUTRITION INFORMATION.

THEY SAY, "MANY LABELING MANDATES OF ALL KINDS ADD TREMENDOUS COST AND THERE IS SIMPLY NO CHOICE BUT TO PASS THOSE COSTS ON TO GUESTS."

THIS WEEK THE BILL PASSED A STATE SENATE HEALTH COMMITTEE.

HEIDI DE MARCO, KPBS NEWS.

>>> IT IS AN AGE-OLD TRADITION TRANSFORMED INTO THE MODERN AGE.

SAUNAS AND BATHHOUSES ARE GROWING IN POPULARITY ACROSS THE U.S.

AND IT COMES AS THERE IS A GROWING AWARENESS THAT LONELINESS AND SOCIAL ISOLATION ARE HARMING OUR HEALTH.

LEE WALDMAN EXPLAINS WHY SOCIAL WELLNESS IS BECOMING SO POPULAR.

>> Reporter: JASON GOODMAN HAS BEEN AN AVID SAUNAGOER FOR DECADES.

THE LOVE OF SWEAT INSPIRED HIM TO START BATHHOUSE, A MODERN TAKE ON THE ANCIENT INSTITUTION THAT FEATURES SAUNAS, COLD PLUNGES AND HOT TUBS.

>> THEY'RE PUSHING THEMSELVES THROUGH ACTUALLY A CHALLENGING EXPERIENCE IN A SAUNA.

AND WHEN YOU PUSH YOURSELF THROUGH A CHALLENGING EXPERIENCE WITH OTHERS IT TENDS TO BE BONDING.

SO THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT IT THAT REALLY BRINGS PEOPLE TOGETHER AND MAKES VERY FAST FRIENDSHIPS.

>> Reporter: PREAH SHAH VISITED OTHER SHIP IN NEW YORK CITY WHICH SIMILAR TO BATHHOUSE PROMOTES SOCIAL WELLNESS.

THAT CONNECTION IS ENCOURAGED BY INSTRUCTORS AND EVENTS LIKE STAND-UP COMEDY, SOUND BATHS AND GAMES.

AS THE SWEAT FLOWS, SO DOES THE CONVERSATION.

>> WE ALL CRAVE CONNECTION AND I THINK IT WAS JUST LIKE THAT SHARED EXPERIENCE THAT WE HAD TOGETHER AND THEN KIND OF AROUND THE ROOM THERE WERE GROUPS OF PEOPLE THAT JUST KIND OF CLICK.

AND AT THE END OF THE SESSION THEY ASK YOU TO SHARE WHAT REALLY MOVED YOU.

IT FELT LIKE A REAL RELEASE OF EMOTION.

>> Reporter: THIS GROWING TREND OF SOCIAL WELLNESS ISN'T JUST A NEW YORK CITY THING.

JUDD VARILE IS THE CO-FOUNDER OF SAUNA AND SOBRIETY IN MINNEAPOLIS.

SHE SHARES THE SAME BELIEF AS GOODMAN AND SHAH, THIS GROWING MOVEMENT OF SOCIAL WELLNESS COMES FROM THE DESIRE FOR CONNECTION FUELED BY CONVERSATION, NOT ALCOHOL.

>> IT JUST IS A MORE NATURAL WAY TO HELP PEOPLE, YOU KNOW, FIGURE OUT WHERE THEIR PEOPLE ARE AND BUILD THOSE RELATIONSHIPS IN A; MUCH DIFFERENT WAY.

>> Reporter: IN NEW YORK I'M LEE WALDMAN.

>>> ALL RIGHT.

WE ARE TAKING ANOTHER LIVE LOOK AT PICTURES FROM THE ARTEMIS II SPLASHDOWN.

IT SMASHED DOWN OFF THE COAST OF SAN DIEGO NOT LONG AGO.

THE "USS JOHN P. MURTHA" IS WORKING WITH NASA TO RETRIEVE THE CREW AND THEIR SPACECRAFT OUT THERE.

A NAVY HELICOPTER SQUADRON BASED OUT OF NAVAL AIR STATION NORTH ISLAND IS RECOVERING THE FOUR ASTRONAUTS AND BRINGING THEM TO THE SHIP.

NAVY DIVERS WILL ALSO RECOVER AND TRANSPORT THE ORION SPACE CAPSULE FROM THE WATER TO THE SHIP'S DECK P NOW, NASA'S ARTEMIS II MISSION HAS BROUGHT SPACE FEVER TO SAN DIEGO.

BUT SAN DIEGO'S TIE TO THE SPACE PROGRAM GOES BACK DECADE.

KPPS ENVIRONMENT REPORTER TAMMY MURGA SAYS THE MISSION OF AMERICA'S FIRST WOMAN IN SPACE LIVES ON HERE.

>> T MINUS 10, 9, 8, 7 -- >> Reporter: WHEN SALLY RIDE LAUNCHED INTO SPACE IN 1983, SHE SHOWED WOMEN AND GIRLS WHAT WAS POSSIBLE.

>> AND LIFT-OFF.

LIFT-OFF OF STS7 AND AMERICA'S FIRST WOMAN ASTRONAUT.

>> Reporter: AFTER RETIRING FROM NASA RIDE STARTED TEACHING AT UC SAN DIEGO.

SOON SHE REALIZED HER CALLING WAS TO GIVE YOUNG GIRLS THE SPACE TO GET EXCITED ABOUT SCIENCE.

>> STUDENTS WILL TELL YOU THAT SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING ARE IMPORTANT.

SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, AND ENGINEERING ARE IMPORTANT.

BUT THEY'LL SAY IT'S IMPORTANT BUT IT'S NOT IMPORTANT FOR ME.

>> Reporter: IN 2001 SHE FOUNDED SALLY RIDE SCIENCE TO HELP GIRLS REALIZE IT COULD BE IMPORTANT FOR THEM.

>> THEY NEED TO SEE A DIVERSE GROUP OF SCIENTISTS THAT BY THE WAY LOOK TO THEM LIKE NORMAL PEOPLE.

>> Reporter: 14 YEARS AFTER RIDE'S DEATH THE ORGANIZATION CONTINUES HER MISSION.

MAY SUMLEMETI OVERSEES SALLY RIDE SCIENCE PROGRAMMING AT UCSD.

>> THAT WAS ONE OF HER GOALS, WAS REALLY TO INSPIRE MORE YOUNG WOMEN, ESPECIALLY UNDERREPRESENTED WOMEN, TO NOT BE AFRAID OF STEM, NOT BE AFRAID OF MATH AND PHYSICS AND REALLY TAKE ON THAT CHALLENGE AND BE A PART OF THE SOLUTION FOR THE FUTURE.

>> Reporter: ONE OF THOSE YOUNG WOMEN IS ALLEGRA CALDERON.

SHE ATTEND THE SALLY RIDE CAMP TWICE AS AN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL STUDENT.

>> IT WAS REALLY LIKE EMPOWERING TO LIKE BE AROUND OTHER GROUPS WHERE IT WAS LIKE ALL GIRLS AND LIKE THIS IS LIKE WHERE YOU WANTED TO BE.

>> Reporter: SHE SAYS AT SALLY RIDE SCIENCE THEY'RE TRYING TO PREPARE FOR GIRLS FOR JOBS IN STEM.

>> STUDENTS CAN'T BE WHAT THEY CAN'T SEE.

SO THE MORE WE EXPOSE STUDENTS TO THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF CAREERS THROUGH THE PEOPLE WHO ARE ACTUALLY TEACHING THE CLASSES, THE MORE THEY'LL BE ABLE TO SEE THEMSELVES IN THOSE SHOES ONE DAY.

>> Reporter: THE PROGRAM HAS SERVED THOUSANDS OF STUDENTS, MOSTLY FROM FOURTH THROUGH NINTH GRADE.

IT ALSO NOW SERVES KINDERGARTNERS.

STUDENTS ARE TAUGHT EVERYTHING FROM ROBOTICS TO MARINE BIOLOGY.

SOME CLASSES ARE ALSO TAUGHT IN SPANISH.

LEMETI SAYS WHAT BEGAN AS A SUMMER CAMP 25 YEARS AGO IS BECOMING A YEAR-LONG PROGRAM THIS YEAR.

CALDERON IS OFF TO COLLEGE SOON.

SHE IS GOING TO MAJOR IN BUSINESS AND SAYS SOMEHOW SHE'LL FIND HER WAY BACK TO SCIENCE.

>> I THINK THAT EVERYONE SHOULD KNOW THAT SCIENCE IS FOR EVERYONE.

>> Reporter: TAMMY MURGA, KPBS NEWS.

>>> AS WE WATCH SOME OF THAT WET WEATHER CONTINUE TONIGHT WE'RE ALSO GOING TO DEAL WITH THE GUSTY WINDS.

THOSE CONTINUE INTO THE DAY ON SATURDAY.

AND ANOTHER ROUND OF SHOWERS RETURN LATER INTO OUR WEEKEND.

BUT GOOD NEWS, LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL, SOME DRYER AND WARMER WEATHER WILL RETURN AS WE HEAD INTO NEXT WEEK.

YOU CAN SEE HOW THE WET WEATHER, OCEANSIDE, SAN DIEGO, CHULA VISTA MOSTLY CLOUDY WITH SOME SHOWERS.

DRYER CONDITIONS, THOUGH, FOR BORREGO SPRINGS AND MOUNT LAGUNA AS WE DROP INTO THE 40s AND 50s.

TAKE A LOOK AT TOMORROW.

IT'S NOT GOING TO BE THE BEST DAY FOR OUTDOOR PLANS.

YOU'LL AT LEAST HAVE TO DODGE SOME OF THOSE SHOWERS AND THE WIND A BIT HERE.

71 IN SAN DIEGO, IN OCEANSIDE AND CHULA VISTA.

BUT WE'LL KEEP THE SHOWERS AROUND.

CLOUDY WITH SOME SHOWERS TOWARD BORREGO SPRINGS.

AND A COOL RAIN IN MOUNT LAGUNA AT 48 DEGREES.

HERE'S THE STORM.

MORE SIGNIFICANT THAN THE STORM WE'VE BEEN WATCHING TODAY THROUGH TONIGHT AS THAT'S GOING TO BRING AREAS OF LOCALIZED FLOODING, LOCALIZED THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS CALIFORNIA BUT OF COURSE VERY BENEFICIAL RAIN.

EVEN SOME HEAVY SNOW BACK ACROSS THE SIERRA.

NOT A WHOLE LOT FOR US HERE.

BUT CERTAINLY WE'LL FEEL THE COOLER AIR THAT RETURNS AS WE HEAD TYPE THE DAY SUNDAY.

TEMPERATURES AT TIMES 20 DEGREES BELOW THE HISTORICAL AVERAGE FOR MANY OF US.

THE COAST OF COURSE WET WEATHER COMING ON THE WEEKEND AND COOLER AIR BY SUNDAY WITH THE 60s BUT THEN WE'LL WARM BACK UP TO THE 70s AS WE HEAD INTO THE DAY ON TUESDAY.

YOUR FORECAST AS WE LOOK INLAND HERE, PARTLY CLOUDY WITH SOME SHOWERS ON SATURDAY AT 73 AND THEN SUNDAY IS COOLER AND CLOUDIER WITH TEMPERATURES ONLY TO THE UPPER 60s.

THE DRY AIR MOVES IN MONDAY BUT WE STAY COOL.

65 FOR A HIGH.

OVERNIGHT LOW OF 50.

AND A COOL NIGHT AHEAD FOR TUESDAY NIGHT BUT TEMPERATURES WARM UP NICELY BY WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON.

MOUNTAIN FORECAST IT'S COOL AND WET.

LOOK AT MONDAY A HIGH OF ONLY 35 DEGREES.

WE'LL REBOUND, THOUGH, BY THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK.

AND IN THE DESERT WE'LL BE IMPACTED HERE BY SOME SHOWERS AND INCREASING WIND AND COOLER TEMPERATURES BY MONDAY, THOUGH WE'RE BACK TO THE 80s FOR TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY.
