THANK YOU.

♪ >>> TRUMP ADMINISTRATION CUTS TO HEALTH CARE PROGRAMS HAVE HIT SAN DIEGO COUNTY.

THANKS FOR JOINING US.

I'M JOHN CAROL, IN MORE MAYA.

ABOUT $40 MILLION IN FUNDING TO SAN DIEGO HAS BEEN REVOKED.

KPBS REPORTER THOMAS FUDGE TELLS US THAT COULD MAKE IT MUCH HARDER TO PAY FOR A PUBLIC HEALTH LAB THAT'S NEARING COMPLETION.

>> Reporter: THE FEDERAL GRANTS THAT HAVE BEEN RESCINDED WERE GOING TO COME FROM THE CENTERS FOR DISEASE CONTROL, AND THEY WERE GOING TO HELP PAY FOR THIS $93 MILLION HEALTH CENTER UNDER CONSTRUCTION IN CERNY MESA.

COUNTY OFFICIALS SAY THE CDC GRANTS WERE FOR THINGS LIKE LABORATORY CAPACITY AND VACCINES FOR CHILDREN.

COUNTY SUPERVISOR TARA LAWSON REAMER SAYS SHE THINKS THE TRUMP REVOCATIONS ARE MEANT TO UNDERMINE THE CDC AND GIVE THE IMPRESSION THAT GOVERNMENT DOESN'T WORK.

>> I THINK WE'RE IN A MOMENT WHERE WE REALLY HAVE TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE ADMINISTRATION IS NOT LOOKING OUT FOR US.

THEY'RE NOT LOOKING OUT FOR REGULAR PEOPLE, NOT LOOKING OUT FOR EVERYDAY AMERICANS.

>> Reporter: COUNTY STAFF SAY THE LOCAL SERVICES THAT COULD BE AFFECTED INCLUDE ADMINISTRATION OF FLU, COVID, AND HEPATITIS A VACCINATIONS.

THEY ALSO SAY LACK OF FUNDING WILL HAMPER INVESTIGATIONS OF INFECTIONS IN LONG-TERM CARE FACILITIES.

>> WE TEST FOR INFECTIOUS DISEASE, THINGS LIKE MEASLES, MUMPS, NOROVIRUS, TO IDENTIFY A POTENTIAL OUTBREAK AND MITIGATE THAT OUTBREAK.

DIAGNOSTIC TESTING IS ONE OF THE FIRST LINES OF DEFENSE IN COMBATTING AN OUTBREAK.

>> Reporter: THE HEALTH SERVICES FUNDING CUTS FROM THE TRUMP WHITE HOUSE MAY NOT OCCUR.

CALIFORNIA AND MORE THAN 20 OTHER STATES HAVE SUED TO STOP THEM.

AND FOR NOW, IT LOOKS LIKE THEY HAVE.

THE CALIFORNIA ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE SAYS A RHODE ISLAND JUDGE HAS GRANTED THEM A TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER.

BUT LAWSON REAMER POINTS OUT TRUMP HAS BEEN NOUN KNOWN TO DISREGARD COURT ORDERS.

>> I THINK WE'RE HOPEFUL THIS ADMINISTRATION WILL ACTUALLY RESPECT THE CONSTITUTION AND OBEY THE RULE OF LAW.

BUT THE TRACK RECORD'S NOT GOOD.

>> Reporter: THE CDC HAS NOT RETURNED CALLS FOR COMMENT.

THOMAS FUDGE, KPBS NEWS.

>>> A NATIONWIDE DAY OF PROTESTS ARE PLANNED TOMORROW AGAINST PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP, HIS ADMINISTRATION, AND ELON MUSK.

KPBS REPORTER JACOB AER LOOKS AT WHAT KIND OF LOCAL ACTION MAY BE IN STORE.

[ CROWD CHANTING ] >> Reporter: FROM SIDEWALKS TO CITY HALLS, PEOPLE ALL OVER THE U.S. ARE ONCE AGAIN EXPECTED TO TAKE PART IN MASS PROTESTS SATURDAY.

THEIR COLLECTIVE MESSAGE IS, HANDS OFF.

>> WE NEVER HAD TOO MUCH REASON TO MARCH AROUND BEFORE 2016.

>> Reporter: 88-YEAR-OLD ANN AND HER 95-YEAR-OLD HUSBAND, DON, ARE LIFETIME SAN DIEGANS AND LONGTIME KPBS VOLUNTEERS.

THEY PLAN TO TAKE TO THE STREETS DOWNTOWN AND MAKE THEIR VOICES HEARD.

>> PEOPLE WHO ARE OPPOSED TO THE CURRENT PLAN OF THINGS.

AND THE ONLY WAY TO DO IT IS TO MARCH.

THERE'S PEOPLE POWER, AND I THINK IT WORKS.

>> Reporter: AND SOME WHO AREN'T ABLE TO MARCH HAVE ANOTHER PLAN TO SHOW THEIR DISSATISFACTION WITH THE CURRENT FEDERAL ADMINISTRATION.

>> PEOPLE HERE JUST FELT THE NEED TO GET OUT AND DO SOMETHING.

>> Reporter: 87-YEAR-OLD JUDY SAUDIER, 84-YEAR-OLD IAN -- AND 105-YEAR-OLD ALICE YE ARE RESIDENTS OF THE CASA DE MANANA RETIREMENT COMMUNITY.

THEY PLAN TO HOST A DEMONSTRATION AT THE COMPLEX WITH DOZENS OF RESIDENTS TAKING PART.

>> WE ARE NOT GOING BACK.

AND THE MAN IN THE WHITE HOUSE IS DETERMINED TO ATTACK THE VERY PROGRAMS THAT WE HAVE WORKED SO HARD TO PUT IN PLACE.

>> Reporter: POLITICAL SCIENCE PROFESSOR CARL LUNA SAYS, WE'VE SEEN THESE TYPES OF PROTESTS BEFORE.

>> YOU HAD THE WOMEN'S MARCH, WHICH STARTED BIG AND THEN FIZZLED BECAUSE OF INTERNAL DEBATE ABOUT WHAT THEY WERE REALLY ARGUING ABOUT.

THE BLACK LIVES MATTER MOVEMENT GOT A LOT OF NATIONAL ATTENTION BUT ULTIMATELY DID NOT CHANGE A LOT OF POLICY.

>> Reporter: LUNA SAYS THEY NEED A CLEAR, UNIFYING MESSAGE.

>> MY OPTIMISM FOR PROTEST MOVEMENTS IN GENERAL IS THEY MAKE THE PEOPLE IN POWER HAVE TO PAY ATTENTION AND CAN MITIGATE BEHAVIOR IF THE PUBLIC IS TURNING AGAINST THEM.

>> Reporter: THE RESIDENTS SAY THEY HAVE ONE TOP CONCERN, PROTECT WHAT THEY SEE AS THREATS TO DEMOCRACY AMIDST RISING POLITICAL DIVISIONS.

>> I'M ASKING CONGRESS.

I SAID, WE ELECTED YOU TO PROTECT DEMOCRACY, AND THAT'S WHAT YOU SHOULD BE DOING.

THAT'S WHY I'M GOING TO -- >> I DON'T REMEMBER IN MY LIFETIME EVER HAVING DEMOCRACY SO MUCH CHALLENGED AS IT IS RIGHT NOW.

>> Reporter: THE APRIL 5th PROTESTS ARE BEING LED AND FUNDED BY A WIDE RANGE OF PROGRESSIVE ADVOCACY GROUPS.

SO FAR, SEVERAL PROTESTS ARE PLANNED IN SAN DIEGO COUNTY, WITH THE LARGEST ONE AT THE CIVIC CENTER.

KPBS NEWS.

>>> THE COOL, DAMP PATTERN IS WORKING TO SLIDE ITS WAY ON EAST.

AS WE GET RID OF IT, WE'RE GOING TO BE TALKING DRIER WEATHER COMING AS WE HEAD INTO THE WEEKEND, AND A WARMUP AHEAD.

I'LL HAVE ALL THOSE DETAILS IN THE FULL FORECAST STILL COMING UP.

>>> TODAY, DEMOCRATIC MEMBERS OF CONGRESS TOOK A TRIP TO THE SOUTHERN BORDER TO SEE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION POLICIES AT WORK FIRSTHAND.

SAN DIEGO REPRESENTATIVE SARAH JACOBS JOINED MEMBERS OF THE HOUSE HOMELAND SECURITY COMMITTEE ON THE VISIT, WHICH INCLUDED TOURS OF HOMELAND SECURITY FACILITIES.

JACOBS SPOKE WITH OUR MEDIA PARTNER AT THE SAN YSIDRO PORT OF ENTRY.

>> WE'RE MAKING SURE OUR CONSTITUENTS, REGARDLESS OF THEIR IMMIGRATION STATUS, ARE HAVING THEIR CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS PROTECTED.

>> REPUBLICANS HOLD AN 18-14 MAJORITY ON THE HOUSE COMMITTEE.

CONGRESSWOMAN JACOBS IS NOT ON THAT COMMITTEE.

HOWEVER, SHE SAYS SHE HOPES LAWMAKERS WILL FOCUS ON IMMIGRATION REFORM AND FINDING EASIER ROUTES TO CITIZENSHIP.

>>> THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION LAST MONTH CUT FUNDING TO LEGAL AID ORGANIZATIONS THAT REPRESENT UNACCOMPANIED MIGRANT CHILDREN IN DEPORTATION HEARINGS.

KPBS REPORTER GUSTAVO SOLIS SAYS THE ORGANIZATIONS ARE NOW SUING TO RESTORE THE FUNDING.

>> Reporter: THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION'S CUTS TO LEGAL AID FOR UNACCOMPANIED MINORS WOULD HAVE FAR-REACHING IMPACTS.

>> WE REPRESENT OVER 160 CHILDREN BELOW THE AGE OF SIX UNDER THIS FUNDING.

>> Reporter: MICKY DONOVAN -- IS DIRECTOR OF LEGAL SERVICES FOR THE IMMIGRANT DEFENDER LAW ENT KRER.

SHE SAYS THAT WITHOUT LAWYERS, THOSE CHILDREN WOULD HAVE TO REPRESENT THEMSELVES IN COURT.

>> IT'S SIMPLY NOT POSSIBLE FOR CHILDREN THAT AGE TO TRY TO NAVIGATE THE SYSTEM ALONE.

IT MAKES A MOCKERY OF THE IDEA OF DUE PROCESS.

>> Reporter: DONOVAN SAYS THESE CUTS COULD IMPACT 26,000 CHILDREN WHO ARE FACING DEPORTATION NATIONWIDE.

THEY INCLUDE EXTREMELY VULNERABLE CASES.

>> WE WORK WITH CHILD VICTIMS OF FORCED LABOR AND SEXUAL TRAFFICKING IN THEIR HOME COUNTRIES, CHILDREN WHO HAVE FACED DEATH THREATS/PERSECUTION BECAUSE OF THEIR LGBT IDENTITY, VICTIMS OF CHILD ABUSE.

>> Reporter: LEGAL AID ORGANIZATIONS ARE NOW SUING THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION.

THEY ARGUE THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT HAS A LEGAL RESPONSIBLE TO ENSURE THAT UNACCOMPANIED CHILDREN HAVE LEGAL REPRESENTATION.

A FEDERAL JUDGE ISSUED A TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER, REQUIRING THE GOVERNMENT TO RESTORE FUNDING WHILE THE LAWSUIT PLAYS OUT.

DONOVAN CALLED IT A LEGAL VICTORY.

BUT AS OF FRIDAY, THE FUNDING STILL HAD NOT BEEN RELEASED.

>> WE STILL ARE IN A HOLDING PATTERN.

WE DON'T KNOW WHEN FUNDING WILL BE RESTORED AT THIS POINT.

SO, WE'RE STILL IN LIMBO.

IT'S STILL CHAOS.

>> Reporter: KPBS NEWS.

>>> CALIFORNIA LAWS SAYS CITIES HAVE TO BUILD MORE HOUSING OR FACE CONSEQUENCES.

ONE NORTH COUNTY IS PLANNING TO PUSH BACK.

KPBS NORTH REPORTER TONYA THORN IS HERE TO TELL US MORE.

TONYA, WHAT CITY AND WHAT'S GOING ON?

>> JOHN, ENCINITAS IS THE CITY WE'RE TALKING ABOUT HERE.

THEY RECENTLY PASSED A DEVELOPMENT THAT THEY REALLY DIDN'T WANT TO APPROVE.

IT WAS OPPOSED BY COUNCIL AND THE COMMUNITY.

THEY DID THAT BECAUSE IT WAS EITHER APPROVE THIS PROJECT OR FACE THE CONSEQUENCES.

>> Reporter: ON BOTH ENDS OF QUAIL GARDEN DRIVE IN ENCINITAS, YOU WILL FIND CONSTRUCTION CREWS, JACKHAMMERS, AND BOBCATS BUSY AT WORK.

THREE HOUSING DEVELOPMENTS ARE APPROVED AND UNDERWAY OFF THE TWO-LANE ROAD.

AND THE CITY COUNCIL RECENTLY APPROVED ONE MORE.

QUAIL MEADOWS, A 448-UNIT DEVELOPMENT, WHICH INCLUDES 90 AFFORDABLE UNITS.

BUT THEY DIDN'T WANT TO APPROVE IT.

HERE'S THE CITY'S MAYOR, BRUCE AILERS.

>> WE ARE APPROVING THIS PROJECT UNDER DURESS AND ONLY BECAUSE THE CREDIBLE THREATS MADE BY HCD AND THE STATE LEAVE US NO CHOICE.

>> Reporter: HCD IS THE CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT.

THEY SENT THE CITY A LETTER WARNING WHAT COULD HAPPEN IF THE PROJECT WAS DENIED.

ENCINITAS WOULD LOSE ITS COMPLIANT HOUSING ELEMENT.

THAT COULD LEAD TO VIOLATIONS, FINES, AND LAWSUITS FROM THE STATE.

BUT IT ALSO TRIGGERS SOMETHING ELSE.

>> BUT THAT STEP THAT WOULD OCCUR WHERE WE GET DECERTIFIED IS FATAL AND CATASTROPHIC ACROSS THE BOARD IN ENCINITAS.

WE'RE SUCH A LUCRATIVE MARKET.

WE WOULD HAVE DEVELOPERS PUTTING IN BUILDERS' REMEDIES.

MULTIPLE DEVELOPERS WOULD PUT IN BUILDERS' REMEDIES AND GET MAXIMUM WHATEVER THEY COULD GET OUT OF IT BECAUSE WE'RE SUCH AN ATTRACTIVE MARKET.

>> Reporter: BUILDERS' REMEDIES ALLOW DEVELOPERS TO BYPASS ZONING RULES AND RESTRICTIONS IN ORDER FOR THE CITY TO MEET ITS HOUSING GOALS.

SO, DESPITE LARGE OPPOSITION FROM THE COMMUNITY AND THE CITY COUNCIL, ENCINITAS WAS FORCED TO APPROVE THE QUAIL MEADOWS PROJECT.

>> I WILL FIGHT, YOU KNOW.

I'LL CLOSE WITH MY FAVORITE QUOTE WHICH IS HENRY FORD, AND IT'S, WHETHER YOU THINK YOU CAN OR YOU THINK YOU CAN'T, YOU'RE RIGHT.

SO, IF YOU GIVE UP AND DON'T FIGHT, YOU'VE LOST.

WE WOULD LOSE.

AND I FELT THAT'S THE WAY THE PREVIOUS ADMINISTRATIONS HAVE BEEN DOING.

THEY SAID, OH, WE CAN'T FIGHT THE CITY.

ON THE OTHER HAND, I WILL FIGHT.

I'M COMMITTED TO FIGHTING THE STATE TO MAINTAIN OUR LOCAL CONTROL AND PROTECT OUR PARADISE HERE IN ENCINITAS.

>> OKAY.

THAT'S INTERESTING.

SO, HOW DOES HE PLAN ON CHALLENGING IT WHEN OTHER CHALLENGES IN THE PAST HAVE NOT BEEN SUCCESSFUL?

>> YOU KNOW, JOHN, WE WERE JUST TALKING ABOUT CORONADO AND HUNTINGTON BEACH, AND THESE ARE CITIES THAT HAVE ALREADY TRIED TO TAKE ON THE STATE TO CHALLENGE THESE HOUSING LAWS.

BUT OFTEN TIMES THEY'RE DOING IT ALONE.

SO, WHAT MAYOR AILERS TOLD ME WAS THAT HE REALLY WANTS TO JOIN OTHER CITIES AND COALITIONS THAT ARE ALREADY IN PLACE TO CHALLENGE THE STATE.

SO, HE DID TELL ME THAT A LOT OF NORTHERN CALIFORNIA CITIES ARE ALREADY DOING THIS.

AND HE WANTS TO GET SAN DIEGO CITIES TO JOIN THEM AND CHALLENGE THE STATE ON THESE HOUSING LAWS BECAUSE, LIKE WE SAW WITH THIS PROJECT, IT WAS ONE THAT THE COMMUNITY AND THE COUNCIL WAS VERY MUCH AGAINST.

SO, HE MENTIONED TO ME THAT THERE'S ALREADY A LOT OF NEARBY LOCAL SAN DIEGO CITIES THAT WANT TO JOIN THIS CHALLENGE AND JOIN HIM AND IN NORTHERN CALIFORNIA CITIES TO CHALLENGE THE STATE ON THESE HOUSING LAWS.

AND HE ALSO TOLD ME THAT HE WANTS THE COMMUNITY TO SPEAK TO THEIR ELECTED OFFICIALS, RIGHT?

THEY ARE NOT HAPPY WITH THESE DEVELOPMENTS AND THESE STATE MANDATED HOUSING LAWS.

HE WANTS THEM TO LET THEIR ELECTED OFFICIALS KNOW AND HOPEFULLY THEY WILL BE ADVOCATING FOR THEM.

>> SPEAKING ABOUT PROJECTS, WHAT ABOUT THE ONE YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT IN THERE, THE QUAIL MEADOWS PROJECT.

>> THAT IS A PROJECT THAT COUNSELORS APPROVED BUT BUILDERS DON'T HAVE THE GREEN LIGHT TO BUILD.

THIS MOVES ON TO THE COASTAL COMMISSION, AND WE KNOW THAT CAN BE A LENGTHY PROCESS.

THAT IS ALREADY BEING APPEALED BY THREE DIFFERENT GROUPS OPPOSING IT.

THEY'RE CITING A LOT OF ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES.

THAT STILL HAS A WAY TO GO BEFORE WE KNOW WHETHER OR NOT THERE'S GOING TO BE A SHOVEL HITTING THE GROUND.

BUT HERE, I MEAN, THIS PROJECT IS WHAT REALLY MOTIVATED ENCINITAS TO CHALLENGE THE STATE BECAUSE IT WAS ONE THAT WAS LARGELY OPPOSED BY THE COMMUNITY AND BY THE MAJORITY OF THE COUNCIL.

SO, I THINK THIS PROJECT DID IT AND WE WILL BE SEEING ENCINITAS POSSIBLY RILING UP SAN DIEGO CITIES TO JOIN OTHER NORTHERN CALIFORNIA CITIES AND OTHER CITIES TO CHALLENGE THE STATE.

SO, WE COULD BE SEEING A CHANGE HERE.

>> YEAH, INTERESTING.

BEING A MEMBER OF THE NORTH COUNTY BUREAU, I KNOW YOU'LL KEEP AN EYE ON IT.

>> I DEFINITELY WILL.

>> THANKS, TONYA.

>> THANKS.

>>> TONIGHT ON THE NEWS HOUR, CHINA HITS BACK WITH TARIFFS MATCHING THE ONES IMPOSED BY THE U.S. THAT'S AT 7:00 AFTER "EVENING EDITION" ON KPBS.

>>> THE LOSSES CONTINUED ON WALL STREET TODAY AFTER CHINA MATCHED PRESIDENT TRUMP'S BIG RAISE OF TARIFFS.

THE S&P 500 PLUMMETED 6%.

THE DOW JONES INDUSTRIAL AVERAGE FELL 2,231 POINTS.

AND THE NASDAQ COMPOSITE DROPPED 5.8%.

LIKE MANY OTHER BUSINESSES ACROSS THE COUNTRY, A NORTHERN CALIFORNIA RESTAURANT OWNER IS BRACING FOR THE TARIFFS' IMPACT ON PRICES.

ANDREA NACANO REPORTS FROM THE BAY AREA.

>> Reporter: LOTUS CUISINE OPENED ALMOST 30 YEARS AGO.

KNOWN AS PAUL BY MANY OF HIS CUSTOMERS, WAS BORN IN INDIA AND GREW UP IN THE GROCERY AND SPICE BUSINESS.

HE WAS CREATING A TASTE OF HOME, SOMETHING HE COULDN'T FIND IN MARIN COUNTY.

>> HAVING FOOD IN INDIAN RESTAURANT, AND I DID NOT HAVE A GOOD EXPERIENCE.

AND I TOLD MY WIFE, LINDA, I'M GOING TO OPEN A RESTAURANT.

>> Reporter: SINCE THEN THE RESTAURANTS HAVE BEEN A HUGE SUCCESS, BUT RUNNING A RESTAURANT HAS COME WITH ITS CHALLENGES.

HE SAYS BUSINESS IN MARCH WAS DOWN 20% COMPARED TO LAST YEAR.

NOW HE'S WORRIED ABOUT HOW THE TARIFFS WILL IMPACT HIS BOTTOM LINE.

>> WE JUST BOUGHT COCONUT OIL TODAY.

IT'S ALREADY -- USUALLY IT'S $50.

TODAY IT'S 59.

SO, ALREADY 20% IS UP.

GOD KNOWS WHAT IT'S GOING TO BE TOMORROW WHEN WE SHOP.

>> Reporter: HE SAID A LOT OF HIS INGREDIENTS COME FROM INDIA, WHICH WAS HIT WITH A 25% TARIFF, AND THAILAND, WHICH IS EXPECTING A 36% TARIFF.

>> HE'S COOKING THE CHICKEN COCONUT CURRY.

ALL THESE SPICES FOR OUR INGREDIENTS, FOR OUR COOKING, HAS TO COME FROM THAT PART OF THE WORLD.

AND THAT'S THE CUISINE, OTHERWISE IT'S NOT THE SAME CUISINE.

>> Reporter: HE HAS PREPARING FOR THE POSSIBILITY OF THESE TARIFFS FOR A WHILE.

>> JUST GETTING MORE INVENTORY BECAUSE WE DON'T KNOW WHAT THE INVENTORY IS GOING TO BE, IT'S GOING TO RUN OUT OR NOT.

SO, WE'RE JUST BEING PREPARED.

>> Reporter: HE SAYS HE'S NOT PLANNING TO MAKE ANY PRICE CHANGES ON THE MENU YET, SAYING IT'S THE LAST THING HE WANTS TO DO.

>> RIGHT NOW WE ARE ABSORBING THE COST, BUT I THINK IF IT'S GOING TO CONTINUE, WE DON'T MAKE MONEY, THEN WE HAVE TO PASS ON TO THE CUSTOMER.

AND IN THE END, THE CUSTOMER HAS TO PAY.

>>> HERE IN SAN DIEGO, SMALL BUSINESS OWNERS FROM CLOTHING STORES TO WINERIES ARE WORRIED ABOUT WHAT NEW ACROSS THE BOARD TARIFFS COULD MEAN FOR THEIR BUSINESS.

AT A BIKE SHOP IN LA MESA, THEY'RE ALREADY SEEING CHANGES THAT COULD HAVE A LASTING IMPACT ON THEIR OVERALL SALES.

>> BEING THAT OUR INDUSTRY IS MAINLY, YOU KNOW, OVERSEAS, YOU KNOW, THAT EVERYTHING AFFECTS THE PRICES OF OUR BIKES, LIKE FUEL PRICES.

AND OF COURSE TARIFFS ARE GOING TO AFFECT THAT ALSO.

WE'VE ALREADY HAD SOME BIKE LINES THAT WERE CANCELED.

GT IS ONE OF THEM.

ALL THEIR BIKES THAT WERE BEING ORDERED, THEY WERE ALL CANCELED.

>> ECONOMISTS ARE GROWING CONCERNED THAT THE ESCALATING TRADE WAR COULD CAUSE A RECESSION.

THE HEAD OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE ALSO WARNED TARIFFS CAN PUSH UP INFLATION.

>>> TIKTOK WILL REMAIN ON U.S. DEVICES FOR NOW.

A LAW REQUIRING TIKTOK TO BE SOLD TO A U.S. COMPANY OR ELSE BE BANNED WAS SET TO TAKE EFFECT TOMORROW.

BUT PRESIDENT TRUMP DELAYED ENFORCEMENT OF THE BAN FOR 75 DAYS, WHILE HIS STAFF WORKS ON A DEAL.

AMY KYLIE HAS MORE ON THE NEGOTIATIONS.

>> IT'LL COME OUT BEFORE -- >> Reporter: THE WHITE HOUSE SAYS IT'S WORKING ON A DEAL TO KEEP TIKTOK IN U.S. APP STORES.

A BIPARTISAN LAW IS SET TO BAN IT OVER NATIONAL SECURITY CONCERNS UNLESS ITS CHINESE PARENT COMPANY, YTEDANCE SELLS IT.

>> YOU WANT TO MAKE SURE THE TIKTOK APP IS NOT SPYING ON PEOPLE, IT'S GOOD FOR NATIONAL SECURITY.

YOU ALSO WANT TO GIVE PEOPLE ACCESS TO THIS INCREDIBLE PLATFORM.

>> Reporter: BYTEDANCE MUST SELL AT LEAST 80% OF ITS OWNERSHIP.

CHINA SEEMS RELUCTANT TO DO THAT.

>> DOESN'T MATTER HOW MANY INVESTORS WANT TO BUY.

THIS U.S. ACT OF TIKTOK, DOES CHINA WANT TO LET THEM BUY IT?

>> Reporter: A DEAL MUST ALSO MEET TWO OTHER REQUIREMENTS.

THE FIRST IS TIKTOK AND BYTEDANCE CAN'T COORDINATE ON DATA SHARING, DUE TO PRIVACY CONCERNS.

ANALYSTS SAY THAT COULD BE DOABLE, SINCE THE U.S. COMPANY, ORACLE, NOW STORES THAT INFORMATION.

THE SECOND IS BYTEDANCE CAN'T CONTROL TIKTOK'S ALGORITHM, FOR FEAR CHINA COULD USE IT TO INFLUENCE AMERICANS.

THAT'S A STICKING POINT THAT TRUMP ONCE PROPOSED ADDRESSING WITH A LEASE AGREEMENT.

>> IF YOU'RE LICENSING THE ALGORITHM, I DON'T PERSONALLY UNDERSTAND HOW YOU'RE SOLVING FOR THAT PROBLEM, BUT I'M SURE THAT'S SOMETHING THE U.S. GOVERNMENT IS TALKING ABOUT WITH THIS DEAL.

>>> THE COUNTY OF SAN DIEGO IS WARNING THAT DANGEROUS LEVELS OF DEMOTIC ACID HAVE BEEN DETECTED IN LOCALLY HARVESTED MUSSELS.

THE WARNINGS DO NOT APPLY TO SHELL FISH SOLD AT LOCAL RESTAURANTS OR MARKETS BECAUSE THEY ARE SUBJECT TO FREQUENT MANDATORY STATE TESTING.

THE CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH WILL CONTINUE TESTING TO DETERMINE WHEN SPORT SHELL FISH IS SAFE TO EAT AGAIN.

>>> PLANTS INTO BETTER MEDICINES.

THOMAS FUDGE TELLS US WHAT WE ALREADY KNOW ABOUT HERBAL MEDICINES AND WHAT SCIENTISTS HOPE TO LEARN.

>> EPHEDRA, CANNABIS, A LOT OF WELL-KNOWN DRUGS START WITH ROOTS IN THE GROUND.

THIS GREENHOUSE AT THE SAN DIEGO BOTANIC GARDEN CONTAINS A LOT OF THEM.

AND IT'S THE HEART OF THE MEDICINAL PLANTS INITIATIVE.

BEN NIEMANN SAYS THE INITIATIVE IS A PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN PLANTS, SCHOLARSHIP, AND THE PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRY.

>> HERE IN SAN DIEGO COUNTY, WE WOULD HAVE EVERYTHING TO GO FROM A MEDICINAL PLANT THAT'S OUT IN THE ENVIRONMENT, STUDY THEM FOR THEIR CHEMISTRY, THEIR BIOLOGY, THEIR GENETICS, AND ACTUALLY TRANSLATE THOSE THROUGH THE PHARMACEUTICAL PIPELINE INTO BOTANICAL DRUG PRODUCTS OR WESTERN MEDICINES.

>> THE MEDICINAL PLANTS -- SAYS THEY HAVE QUADRUPLED THEIR MEDICINAL PLANT COLLECTION, NOW WITH 2,003 OF THEM.

NIEMANN SAID NATIVE AMERICANS IN CALIFORNIA USED YERBA SANTA.

>> WHEN THE SPANIARDS CAME OVER THEY WERE INTRODUCED TO THIS PLANT BY THE NATIVE PEOPLE.

AND THEY FOUND IT WAS MORE EFFECTIVE AT TREATING TUBERCULOSIS THAN ANY DRUG THEY HAD BROUGHT FROM EUROPE.

>> ONE OF THE GOALS OF THE MEDICINAL PLANTS INITIATIVE IS TO UNDERSTAND PLANTS GENETICALLY.

THAT'S WHERE TODD MICHAEL COMES IN.

HE'S A GENETIC RESEARCHER AND A PARTNER IN THE PROJECT.

HE SAYS THE CHALLENGE IS IDENTIFYING GENETIC PATHWAYS THAT GIVE A PLANT ITS CURATIVE CHEMICALS.

>> WE CAN SAY, YES, THIS PLANT HAS THE GENES THAT MAKE THIS CHEMICAL.

>> Reporter: MICHAEL SAYS, FOR NOW, THAT KIND OF DISCOVERY IS THE OBJECT OF THE PLANTS INITIATIVE.

>> ONCE WE KNOW A SPECIFIC PLANT MAKES SOMETHING, WE COULD IN THE FUTURE DO HYBRIDIZATION OF PLANTS TO GET NEW SPECIES THAT EITHER GROW WELL HERE OR GROW WELL IN OTHER CONDITIONS.

>> Reporter: ONE PLANT HERE IN THE GREENHOUSE THAT'S WELL KNOWN FOR ITS MEDICINAL QUALITIES IS ONE YOU WILL FIND GROWING IN SAN DIEGO COUNTY, EPHEDRA.

THE SOURCE OF EPHEDRINE, IT'S A STIMULANT THAT'S USED FOR SEVERAL AILMENTS.

SURVEILLANCE I DON'T KNOWS USE IT TO PREVENT LOW BLOOD PRESSURE.

HE SAYS PEOPLE HAVE BEEN BREEDING CANNABIS FOR AT LEAST 10,000 YEARS.

>> SO, WE HAVE DEFINITELY COEVOLVED WITH MEDICINAL PLANTS SO THEY MAKE THINGS THAT MAKE US HAPPY SO WE DON'T TO GROW THEM.

>> Reporter: OTHER PLANTS, MICHAELS SAYS, HAVE DEVELOPED THEIR MEDICINAL PLANTS TO PREVENT ANIMALS FROM EATING THEM.

HE SAID MAYBE SOME CRITTERS ENDED UP FEELING TENSE AND HYPER.

>> NOW THEY KNOW DON'T EAT THAT PLANT, IT WILL MAKE YOU CRAZY.

>> Reporter: THOMAS FUDGE, KPBS NEWS.

>>> WE'VE GOTTEN SOME ROUNDS OF SHOWERS, EVEN A BIT OF MOUNTAIN SNOW RECENTLY.

THIS WEEK, AS IT COMES TO AN END, WE'RE GOING TO PUT A LOT OF THAT BEHIND US, ESPECIALLY HEADING INTO THE WEEKEND AND REALLY INTO NEXT WEEK, WHERE WE WON'T BE TALKING ABOUT MUCH IN THE WAY OF MOISTURE.

SO, DRYING OUT IS OUR STORY HERE, AS WE GO INTO THE WEEKEND.

A LOT OF THOSE NUMBERS HEADED UP NOT ONLY FOR THE WEEKEND BUT REALLY INTO NEXT WEEK, THE MIDDLE AND LATER PART OF NEXT WEEK VARY FOR AREAS LIKE THE DESERT COMMUNITIES.

IT IS GOING TO BE HITTING ON A HOT PATTERN, AS WE WORK OUR WAY THROUGH THIS APRIL WEEK.

NOTICE SAN DIEGO COUNTY, AS WE LOOK AROUND THE REGION HERE TONIGHT, NOT REALLY ALL THAT ACTIVE.

IN FACT, WE'LL BE CLEARING OUT, 49 THE LOW FOR THE CITY.

AS YOU HEAD TOWARD OCEANSIDE, 41.

RAMONA COMING IN AT 38.

34 FOR YOUR LOW.

AS WE TRANSITION FOR YOUR SATURDAY, ALL THAT MOISTURE DEPARTING HERE, SO WE ARE KEEPING THINGS DRIER, QUIETER, AS THE RIDGE KIND OF REBUILDS JUST IN TIME FOR SATURDAY AND SUNDAY, WHICH MEANS IT'S NICE WEATHER FOR US.

69 DEGREES AS WE LOOK AROUND THE CITY.

CHULA VISTA COMING IN AT 70 DEGREES, CAMPO AT 65.

HOWEVER THE NUMBERS WILL BE RISING IN THE DAYS TO COME FOR SOME OF THOSE DESERT COMMUNITIES.

THE COASTAL COMMUNITIES, THOUGH, REALLY NOT TOO BAD.

WE DO MAKE IT TO THE MID 70s ON SUNDAY.

THERE'S A LITTLE BIT MORE OF A COASTAL ON-SHORE PUSH FOR US ON MONDAY, WHICH IS WHY THOSE NUMBERS DROP OFF A BIT.

EVEN THAT'S NOT THAT COLD.

SAME THING FOR THE VALLEY COMMUNITIES AND INLAND COMMUNITIES HERE.

WE'RE LOOKING AT TEMPERATURES CLIMBING TO THE 80s ON SUNDAY AND FALLING BACK INTO THE MID 70s ON MONDAY AND TUESDAY.

NOT REALLY ALL THAT COLD.

WE'LL START TO CLIMB AGAIN FOR THE MIDDLE AND LATER PART OF THE WEEK.

MOUNTAIN COMMUNITIES, VERY BRIGHT TIME HERE AS WE MAKE IT INTO THE 50s.

THAT WILL PUSH OUR NUMBERS BACK INTO THE UPPER 50s, CLOSE TO 60 ON TUESDAY.

WEDNESDAY WE COULD MAKING A RUN AT 70 DEGREES.

IF THAT'S NOT ENOUGH, OUR DESERT COMMUNITIES, THIS IS WHERE WE NOTICE THE NUMBERS REALLY GOING UP.

THROUGH THE 90s MONDAY AND TUESDAY.

BY WEDNESDAY WE'LL BE PUSHING THE TRIPLE DIGITS, ESPECIALLY INTO THE LATER PART OF THE UPCOMING WEEK.

>>> JOIN US TONIGHT FOR SOCCER -- WHERE WE LOOK AT SOCCER'S CULTURAL GROWTH IN THE SAN DIEGO TIJUANA REGION.
