AND BY VIEWERS LIKE YOU.

THANK YOU.

>>> AN AMBITIOUS GOAL TO REVITALIZE DOWNTOWN SAN DIEGO AND BUILD AFFORDABLE HOUSING IS FACING AN UNPAID -- UNCERTAIN FUTURE.

TODAY WAS THE DEADLINE FOR DEVELOPERS TO SUBMIT PROPOSALS FOR FIVE BLOCKS OF PUBLICLY OWNED LAND.

ANDREW VAUGHN HAS MORE.

>> Reporter: CITY HALL AND THE SURROUNDING HIGH-RISE OFFICE BUILDINGS OWNED BY THE CITY ARE IN BAD SHAPE AND IN NEED OF REVITALIZATION.

THE PROPERTIES WERE DECLARED SURPLUS LAND HOPING TO FIND DEVELOPERS THAT COULD BUILD A MIX OF MARKET RATE AND SUBSIDIZED HOUSING.

THE MONEY FROM THAT WOULD GO TOWARD BUILDING A NEW CITY HALL.

JOSH FROM THE NONPROFIT DOWNTOWN SAN DIEGO PARTNERSHIPS AT THE LARGE SIZE OF THE LAND PRESENTS BIG OPPORTUNITIES.

>> TODAY IS A LITTLE BIT UNDERUTILIZED AND IT'S AN INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY TO EXPAND CIVIC SPACE, NOT ONLY FOR ACCESS TO CITY HALL BUT THROUGH GREEN SPACE, HOUSING, MIXED-USE, REDEVELOPMENT.

WE ARE ALSO ON C STREET WHICH IS A MAJOR THOROUGHFARE FOR THE TROLLEY.

TRANSIT HAS BEEN A PRIORITY FOR US AS WELL.

>> Reporter: THEY LEFT THE DOOR OPEN TO SEVERAL OPTIONS.

ONE MEGAPROJECT COVERING ALL FIVE BLOCKS OR A PHASED APPROACH OF DEVELOPING EACH BLOCK SEPARATELY.

J GOLDSTONE IS OVERSEEING THE PROCESS.

HE SAID SO FAR THERE HAS NOT BEEN A WHOLE LOT OF INTEREST.

>> I THINK THAT PEOPLE ARE MAYBE WAITING A LITTLE BIT ON THE SIDELINES TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS HERE TO GET PROPOSALS FOR ONE OR TWO OF THE BLOCKS.

AS I HAVE STATED IN THE PAST I WOULD BE PLEASANTLY SURPRISED IF WE GET ANY PROPOSALS FOR ALL FIVE LOCKS.

>> Reporter: IF THE CITY DOES NOT GET RESPONSIVE BIDS, IT CAN TRY AGAIN WITH A MORE FLEXIBLE PITCH SUCH AS A PROJECT WITH LESS AFFORDABLE HOUSING.

>>> THE HEAT IS BACK.

WE ARE CERTAINLY CRANKING IT UP FOR THE WEEKEND.

HIGH PRESSURE IS LARGE AND IN CHARGE.

THROUGH SUNDAY WE WILL BE ON A WARMING TREND RUNNING 5 TO 15 DEGREES ABOVE THE HISTORICAL AVERAGES WITH A RECORD DAILY HIGHS CHALLENGED ACROSS A LOT OF THE SOUTHWEST.

I WILL SHOW YOU WHAT AREAS WILL BE THE HOTTEST AND WHEN WE WILL SEE ANOTHER COOLDOWN.

>>> THE SUMMER HEAT GIVES WAY.

IN OCEANSIDE SCHOOLS ARE WORKING TO COMBAT CHRONIC ABSENTEEISM EVEN BEFORE THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL.

>> Reporter: THERE IS NOT MUCH TIME LEFT FOR SUMMER SKATEBOARDING AT THE PARK.

STUDENTS IN THE OCEANSIDE UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT GO BACK TO CLASS AUGUST 15.

NINA IS ONE OF THEM.

SHE WANTS TO BE A PROFESSIONAL SKATEBOARDER SOMEDAY AND SHE HAS A PLAN TO STUDY, TRAIN, AND NOT MISS SCHOOL.

>> AFTER YOU GET OUT OF SCHOOL YOU GO TO THE SKATE PARK.

>> Reporter: THEY ARE MAKING HOUSE CALLS AND DELIVERING BACKPACKS FULL OF SCHOOL SUPPLIES TO STUDENTS WHO MISSED MORE THAN 18 DAYS OF SCHOOL LAST YEAR.

THEY ARE CONSIDERED CHRONICALLY ABSENT AND THERE ARE 3000 OF THEM LIKE SHEILA'S NINE-YEAR- OLD GRANDDAUGHTER WHO MISSED MORE THAN A MONTH OF CLASSES.

>> IN SECOND GRADE SHE STARTED HAVING ISSUES.

SHE HAD HEALTH ISSUES AND THAT IS WHERE IT ALL STARTED.

ONCE THEY MISS THEY DON'T WANT TO GO BACK.

>> WE ARE CALLING TO CHECK IN WITH FAMILIES AND REMIND THEM THAT AUGUST 15 IS THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL.

>> Reporter: SOME CALL MARIA THE KID WHISPERER.

SHE'S THE DISTRICT SOCIAL WORKER WHO HAS MADE 700 PHONE CALLS IN THE LAST TWO WEEKS.

>> PARENTS DON'T REALIZE WHEN YOU HAVE YOUR KIDS OUT A DAY OR TWO HERE OR THERE IT REALLY ADDS UP.

TWO DAYS A MONTH ENDS UP BEING 10% OF THE SCHOOL YEAR.

>> Reporter: CALIFORNIA HAS TRUANCY LAWS WITH LEGAL CONSEQUENCES FOR PARENTS WHOSE CHILDREN DO NOT SHOW UP FOR SCHOOL BUT THAT'S NOT WHAT THIS IS ABOUT.

THE OCEANSIDE DISTRICT IS COMMITTED TO BEING PART OF THE SOLUTION AND NOT THE PROBLEM.

>> WE WANT TO KNOW IF YOU ARE SET UP, DO YOU HAVE WHAT YOU NEED.

IS THERE ANYTHING WE CAN DO TO SUPPORT YOU AND DO YOU KNOW WHEN SCHOOL STARTS AND WHEN YOU CAN REGISTER.

>> Reporter: STUDENTS LIKE NINA ARE ALREADY SKATING TO SUCCESS FOR THE NEW SCHOOL YEAR.

>>> COVID POSITIVITY IS UP 9.2% COMPARED TO 3.5% IN LATE MAY.

THE AVERAGE FOR HOSPITALIZATIONS WAS 63 LAST MONTH.

IT COMES AS MAJOR PHARMACIES BRACE FOR THE FALL VIRUS SEASON.

>> Reporter: THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES DECLARED THE END OF THE COVID- 19 PUBLIC HEALTH EMERGENCY ON MAY 11.

THE VIRUS ITSELF NEVER FADED AWAY.

>> THERE ARE INCREASES IN HOSPITALIZATIONS.

>> Reporter: THEY SAY THAT ONE REASON IS THAT MANY ARE TRYING TO BEAT THE HEAT.

>> PEOPLE ARE CLOSER TOGETHER.

>> Reporter: NUMEROUS PHARMACY CHAINS INCLUDING CVS, RITE AID, AND WALGREENS SAID THEY WILL HAVE THE NEW VACCINES ONCE THEY ARE AUTHORIZED AND RECOMMENDED BY THE CDC.

>> THE GOOD NEWS IS WE HAVE MUCH LESS COVID-19 BEING CIRCULATED.

>> Reporter: OFFICIALS SAY THEY EXPECT TO HAVE A COVID SHOT READY FOR THE PUBLIC SOMETIME NEXT MONTH.

>> A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE NOT HAD A VACCINE IN A YEAR.

WHAT DO WE KNOW ABOUT THEM?

THEY ARE GREAT FOR THE FIRST FOUR MONTHS AND THEN THEY START TO SLACK.

>> Reporter: THAT IS WHY HEALTH OFFICIALS ARE ADVISING PEOPLE TO PREPARE THEMSELVES FOR THE FALL BY ROLLING UP THEIR SLEEVES.

>> THERE WILL BE A MASSIVE PUSH ACROSS THE U.S. TO GET YOUR FLU SHOT AND GET YOUR COVID VACCINE UPDATED.

FOR THE OVER 60 TO GET THE NEW RSV VACCINE.

>>> NORTH COUNTY NEWEST HOSPITAL IS PREPARING TO OPEN NEXT WEEK.

MATT HOFFMAN GOT A LOOK INSIDE THE NEW KAISER HOSPITAL IN SAN MARCO'S.

>> WE MONITOR THE MOM AS WELL AS THE BABIES THAT ARE DELIVERED HERE.

>> Reporter: THIS SURGICAL ROOM IS EMPTY BUT IN A MATTER OF DAYS THEY WILL BE ACCEPTING PATIENTS.

>> WE ARE PLANNING TO BE BUSY AND WE DON'T KNOW HOW FAST WE WILL GET BUSY.

>> Reporter: HE IS THE DIRECTOR AND CHIEF OF STAFF.

IS AT THE HOSPITAL HAS ROOM FOR 206 BEDS.

THEY WILL START WITH FEWER AND PRO AS NEEDED.

THEY HAVE ABOUT 188,000 MEMBERS IN NORTH COUNTY ALONE.

THE HOSPITAL COMES WITH A NEW LABOR AND DELIVERY DEPARTMENT WHICH INCLUDES A NEONATAL INTENSIVE CARE UNIT.

PALOMAR HEALTH RECENTLY CLOSED THEIR LABOR AND DELIVERY SERVICES AND MOVED IT TO ESCONDIDO.

TRI-CITY IN OCEANSIDE RECENTLY SUSPENDED THOSE SERVICES DUE TO A LACK OF EARTHS.

KAISER IS CONFIDENT THEY WILL HAVE PLENTY OF EXPECTING FAMILIES.

>> WE PARTNERED WITH PALOMAR AND HAVE THOSE DELIVERIES WHERE WE HAD 80 TO 100 DELIVERIES A MONTH.

THAT WILL BE BRINGING ALL OF THE WORK HERE.

>> Reporter: OFFICIALS SAY THEY WILL STILL PARTNER WITH PALOMAR AND TRI-CITY FOR SOME SERVICES.

THE IDEA IS THAT PATIENTS THAT LIVE IN NORTH COUNTY WILL COME HERE NOW.

ANOTHER AREA THAT IS EXPECTED TO BE BUSY AS THE EMERGENCY ROOM.

THE HOSPITAL IS ABOUT TWO THIRDS THE SIZE OF THE HOSPITAL IN KEARNY MESA BUT HAS THE SAME SIZE EMERGENCY ROOM.

>> WE WERE VERY BUSY.

THAT'S WHY WE NEEDED THIS THIRD HOSPITAL.

>> IT ALSO HAS SOME FIRST FOR KAISER LIKE A SAFE ROOM MEANT FOR PATIENTS EXPERIENCING A MENTAL HEALTH CRISIS.

IT HAS A RETRACTABLE DOOR TO KEEP EQUIPMENT OUT OF REACH.

ACROSS THE COUNTRY, HEALTHCARE HAS SEEN STAFFING SHORTAGES.

IT IS SOMETHING THAT OFFICIALS ARE FAMILIAR WITH.

>> WE SPENT THE LAST SIX MONTHS WORKING ON RECRUITING AND HIRING.

>> Reporter: THEY SAID THAT STAFFING AND IMAGING WERE THE HARDEST TO FILL.

OFFICIALS SAY THERE IS MORE ROOM TO EXPAND SERVICES.

>> THE COMMUNITY IS GROWING.

SAN MARCO'S HAS THE LARGEST GROWTH.

>>> THE UNIVERSITY OF SAN DIEGO IS EXPECTED TO RECEIVE ITS FINAL REPORT ON ELECTED OFFICIALS ANY DAY NOW.

IT SHOWS THAT FEMALE POLITICIANS ARE TARGETED MORE FREQUENTLY THAN MEN.

WE SPOKE TO WOMEN WHO HAVE BEEN THREATENED.

A WARNING, THIS CONTAINS GRAPHIC LANGUAGE.

>> I HOPE THAT THEY GOT YOU LIKE THE SLOB YOU ARE AND HANG YOU UP TO DRIP DRY.

>> Reporter: THAT IS KATE BISHOP READING A MESSAGE SHE RECEIVED ON SOCIAL MEDIA.

SHE SAID THAT THE THREATS INTENSIFY WHEN ADVOCATING FOR ISSUES LIKE CLOSING THE ACHIEVEMENT GAP FOR BEING MORE INCLUSIVE OF LGBTQ STUDENTS AND STAFF >> YOU ARE A DOG ON A LEASH.

YOU ARE WRONG.

>> Reporter: THAT IS ANOTHER RECOUNTING AN ATTACK FROM A MAN AT A CITY COUNCIL MEETING.

THESE EXPERIENCES ALIGNED WITH THE RECENT POLL AIMED AT GAUGING THREATS AGAINST LOCAL OFFICIALS.

THE SURVEY FOUND THAT 66% OF OFFICE WORKERS REPORTED BEING THREATENED OR HARASSED COMPARED TO 82% OF FEMALE COUNTERPARTS.

TO THIRD SET THAT INTIMIDATION HAS WORSENED.

POLITICAL SCIENCE PROFESSOR BARBARA WALTERS SAID THE ELECTION OF FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP IN 2016 IS A BIG REASON FOR THE JUMP.

>> HE WAS THE FIRST PRESIDENT THAT WOULD VOCALIZE VIOLENCE AS A LEGITIMATE TOOL.

WE KNOW THAT IT IS INCREASING.

>> IT TRACKS WITH THE RISE IN ALL SORTS OF OTHER TYPES OF VIOLENT BEHAVIOR AND VIOLENT LANGUAGE THAT WE HAVE BEEN SEEING.

>> Reporter: PART OF THE CURRENT BACKLASH IS TIED TO THE FAR RIGHT.

THEY WANT AMERICAN SOCIETY TO REVERT BACK TO A TIME WHEN WOMEN WERE SUBSERVIENT TO MEN.

>> THEY FEEL THAT WOMEN ARE NOT EQUAL TO MEN.

THEY SHOULD NOT BE EMPOWERED TO MAKE DECISIONS THAT COULD AFFECT MEN.

>> Reporter: MORE THAN HALF OF ELECTED OFFICIALS AND THE PULSE SAY THEY HAVE CONSIDERED LEAVING OFFICE.

WALTERS SAID THAT SHOWS THAT THE THREATS ARE WORKING.

>> IT IS A FORM OF VERBAL TERRORISM DESIGNED TO BASICALLY VERBALLY BEAT YOUR TARGET INTO SUBMISSION.

>> Reporter: THEY SAY THAT THE THREATS HAVE NOT DRIVEN THEM FROM PUBLIC SERVICE, BUT THEY DO SEEK ACCOUNTABILITY.

ONE OF THEM GOT A THREE-YEAR RESTRAINING ORDER AGAINST THE MAN THAT BERATED HER OUTSIDE OF THE COUNCIL MEETING IN 2014.

>> YOU NEED TO REPORT IT.

IT'S ABOUT THE PAPER TRAIL.

IF ONE PERSON DOES THAT AND THEN DOES THAT TO ANOTHER PERSON, WHO KNOWS WHAT THE CYCLE COULD BE OF VIOLENCE AND ABUSE.

>> Reporter: BISHOP SAID SHE HAS DEVELOPED A THICK SKIN BUT IT'S STILL HARD NOT TO INTERNALIZE THE VITRIOL.

>> I'M A HUMAN BEING SO FOR A SECOND IT HITS ME HARD.

IT IS SCARY.

DEPENDING ON THE TYPE OF THREAT, IF IT IS JUST A PERSON RAILING AT ME IT IS EASIER.

THEY ARE SHARING THEIR FEELINGS WITH ME IN AN UNHELPFUL VOLUME.

WHEN IT IS REALLY GRAPHIC OR SEXUAL, I USUALLY TALK TO MY HUSBAND.

THEN I REALIZE THAT THE PERSON MAKING THE THREAT DOES NOT HAVE THE WORDS TO EXPRESS THEIR EMOTIONS HEALTHFULLY.

>> Reporter: THEY BELIEVE THAT THESE ARE AMONG THE SOLUTIONS.

WALTERS SAYS ANY ATTEMPT TO DECREASE THREATS IS INCOMPLETE UNLESS SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS FACE TIGHTER CONTROLS.

SHE ARGUES IT IS POSSIBLE WHILE STILL PROTECTING FREE SPEECH.

>> LET PEOPLE PUT WHATEVER THEY WANT ON THE INTERNET.

REGULATE THE ALGORITHMS THAT RIGHT NOW ARE DESIGNED TO DISPROPORTIONATELY FAVOR THE MOST INCENDIARY MATERIAL.

THE STUFF THAT TRIGGERS FEAR AND ANGER AND HATE.

THAT IS WHAT OUR BRAINS ARE DESIGNED TO FOCUS ON MORE HEAVILY.

>> Reporter: SHE SAID DESPITE THIS EXPERIENCE SHE ENCOURAGES WOMEN TO RUN FOR OFFICE AND COACHES THEM ON HOW TO SHIELD THEMSELVES FROM THREATS.

>>> IF YOU LIVE IN DISTRICT 4 AND WOULD PREFER TO VOTE FOR A NEW COUNTY SUPERVISOR IN PERSON YOU CAN SOON DO SO.

STARTING TOMORROW SEVEN VOTING CENTERS WILL OPEN FOR IN PERSON VOTES OR BALLOT DROP-OFFS.

DISTRICT 4 INCLUDE CENTRAL SAN DIEGO, LA MESA, AND SPRING VALLEY.

THE LAST DAY TO SUBMIT A VOTE BY MAIL IS AUGUST 15.

>>> WE HAVE ALL THE INFORMATION YOU NEED TO GET CAUGHT UP ON THE SPECIAL ELECTION INCLUDING INTERVIEWS WITH THE CANDIDATES.

YOU CAN CLICK ON THE VOTER HUB LINK ON OUR HOMEPAGE ON KPBS.ORG.

>>> SAN DIEGO AREA CHORES HAVE BEEN SHRINKING.

THE SAND IS ALSO DISAPPEARING FASTER.

AS TANIA THORNE SHOWS US, THE CITY OF OCEANSIDE IS GETTING ADVICE FROM INTERNATIONAL EXPERTS.

>> Reporter: SUNNY SUMMER DAYS CALL FOR BEACH TRIPS IN THE CITY OF OCEANSIDE.

BEFORE THE CHAIRS AND TOWELS CAN BE LAID OUT, MACHINES AND PIPES ARE HARD AT WORK.

THE PROJECT MOVES SAND FROM THE HARBOR ONTO THE BEACH MONTHS IN ADVANCE.

>> WHAT WE HAVE BEEN DOING SINCE THE 1960S IS TAKING THE SAND OUT OF THE HARBOR AND PLACING IT ON THE BEACHES.

WE GENERALLY PUT IT AS FAR SOUTH AS WE CAN GET.

IT USUALLY ENDS UP BEING RIGHT AROUND HERE.

>> Reporter: JAMIE, THE COASTAL ADMINISTRATOR SAID THE PIPES CAN ONLY REACH SO FAR.

BEACHES SOUTH OF THE PIER ARE SUFFERING FROM SAND LOSS MORE SEVERELY.

>> THE SAND DOES NOT MOVE INTO SOUTH OCEANSIDE.

IT ENDS UP MOVING NORTH OR IT ENDS UP MOVING OFFSHORE.

>> Reporter: THEY SAY THAT IT IS HAPPENING QUICKER ALONG THE COAST DUE TO EROSION.

>> WE NEED TO RETAIN SAND BETTER.

WE NEED TO BE ABLE TO PLACE SAND AND RETAIN IT.

WE WILL STILL NEED TO DO THAT.

WE WILL STILL DO HARBOR DREDGING AND FIND OFFSHORE SAND.

WHAT WE DO NOT WANT TO DO IS TAKE THE SAND FROM OFFSHORE AND PUT IT ON OUR BEACHES AND THEN SEE IT GONE WITHIN ONE STORM.

>> Reporter: FOR THAT THE CITY IS ENLISTING HELP FROM EXPERTS FOR INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS, SOME FROM ACROSS THE WORLD.

>> WE HAVE SELECTED THREE DESIGN TEAMS TO MOVE FORWARD INTO A COMPETITION TO DESIGN A SAND RETENTION PROJECT FOR THE CITY.

>> Reporter: THE CALL TO ACTION GOT ATTENTION FROM DOZENS OF FIRMS.

THE FINAL THREE TEAMS ARE FROM STATEN ISLAND, NEW YORK, AUSTRALIA, AND THE NETHERLANDS.

>> WE CANNOT WAIT TO SEE WHAT IT WILL YIELD AND WHAT THESE INTERNATIONAL FIRMS WILL GIVE US FROM THEIR OWN BACKGROUNDS AND THEIR OWN EXPERIENCE >> Reporter: THE CONTRACT IS $2.6 MILLION BEING ALLOCATED FROM THE AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN ACT.

THREE PUBLIC WORKSHOPS WILL BE HELD FOR COMMUNITY FEEDBACK AND THE DESIGN INPUT.

THE FIRST WILL BE AUGUST 29 IN COUNCIL CHAMBERS.

A FINAL DESIGN IS EXPECTED TO BE PRESENTED FOR APPROVAL BY EARLY NEXT YEAR.

>>> RIGHT NOW, 62 MILLION PEOPLE ARE UNDER HEAT ALERTS ACROSS THE U.S.

THIS AS HEAVY RAINFALL AND SEVERE STORMS >>> SEVERAL STATES.

>> Reporter: ROADS TURN TO RIVERS.

TREES BLOCKING ROADWAYS.

RELENTLESS RAINFALL TRIGGERING FLOODING AND DEVASTATION.

THIS AS NEW TEMPERATURES ARE RISING.

THE HIGH TEMPERATURES ARE TURNING WE PULLED.

-- LEGAL.

14 PEOPLE HAVE BEEN KILLED BY THE HEAT IN MARICOPA COUNTY THIS PAST WEEK WHERE THE CITY IS PHOENIX AND FORECASTED TO SEE TEMPERATURES OVER 110 FOR THE NEXT SEVEN DAYS.

>> I HAVE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT.

>> WE SAW WHAT WE FEARED WITCHES THAT THIS IS THE MOVING FRONT OF SEVERE BLEACHING.

>> Reporter: SCORCHING WATER TEMPERATURES ARE BLEACHING CORAL LIFE WHICH IS MELTING THE SKELETONS IN THE UNUSUALLY WARM OCEAN WATER.

FLORIDA WILDLIFE OFFICIALS POSTING ON FACEBOOK, DUE TO THE EXTREME HEAT THE CORALS ARE MELTING OFF THE SKELETONS.

>>> LET'S START YOU ARE WITH THE WEATHER HEADLINES.

WE ARE CRANKING UP THE HEAT AS TEMPERATURES SOAR.

COASTAL LOW CLOUDS MOVING FURTHER INLAND.

WE HAVE ANOTHER PUSH ON SHORE FLOW INTO NEXT WEEK THAT WILL BE BRINGING TEMPERATURES DOWN AND ALSO THE RETURN OF CLOUDS.

WE HAVE HIGH PRESSURE LARGE AND IN CHARGE FLOODING WEST AND WILL INCLUDE THE HISTORICAL AVERAGES.

MOST AREAS WILL REMAIN TRY.

WE HAVE EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNINGS FROM SATURDAY MORNING UNTIL MONDAY EVENING.

WE HAVE A LOT OF DAYS INCLUDED IN THE MORNING TO MAKE SURE YOU ARE TAKING CARE.

NOT LAGUNA IS NOT DOING TOO SHABBY AT 76.

EVEN SAN DIEGO RISING TO A HIGH OF 78.

ALONG THE COAST TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN STEADY.

WE WILL FEEL THE HEAT TO THE LOW TO MID 80s WITH MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES.

AS WE HEAD FURTHER INLAND, HIGHS WILL RISE TO THE UPPER 90s BY SUNDAY.

97 FOR THE HIGH.

MONDAY WILL DIP BACK DOWN TO 91 AND WE WILL STEADILY START THE GOAL A LITTLE BIT FURTHER INLAND AS WE HEAD INTO THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK.

FOR THE MOUNTAINS, HIGHS REMAIN RELATIVELY STEADY.

A LITTLE BIT WARMER AGAIN.

THEY ARE FEELING THE HEAT WITH 73 ON MONDAY, 71 ON TUESDAY WITH A HIGH OF 67 BY WEDNESDAY.

ACROSS THE DESERT TEMPERATURES REMAIN IN THE TRIPLE DIGITS.

>>> NEARLY 100 DAYS INTO THE WRITERS >>> THERE ARE SIGNS OF PROGRESS.

THOUSANDS OF WRITERS AND PICKETERS MARCHED OUTSIDE HOLLYWOOD STUDIOS.

AT THE SAME TIME NEGOTIATORS WERE EXPECTED TO MEET TO DISCUSS RESUMING LABOR TALKS.

IT'S THE FIRST MEETING SINCE THEY WENT ON STRIKE MAY 2.

THE UNION IS CALLING FOR HIGHER RESIDUAL PAY FOR STREAMING PROGRAMS, STAFFING GUARANTEES AND REGULATIONS ON THE USE OF AI.

>>> THE HOTTEST TICKET IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA THIS WEEK AND IS TAYLOR SWIFT.

WE TALKED ABOUT THE ECONOMIC POWERHOUSE THAT IS THE TOUR IN THE FRIDAY BUSINESS REPORT.

>> THERE WILL BE ABOUT HALF 1 MILLION ATTENDEES OVER THE SIX CONCERTS THAT BEGAN LAST NIGHT.

I WILL HAVE ABOUT $150 MILLION IN ECONOMIC IMPACT TO LOS ANGELES.

TO PUT IT IN PERSPECTIVE,, CON --, CON WHICH IS A STAPLE BRINGS IN $65 MILLION.

TAYLOR SWIFT HAS THIS IMPACT ON ALL THE CITIES SHE GOES TO.

THE SECOND-TIER CITIES SHE ANNOUNCED THAT SHE WOULD GO TO.

THOSE CITIES IN TERMS OF THE HOTEL INDUSTRY, RESTAURANTS, BARS WILL BE PHENOMENAL.

IT COULD BE GAME CHANGING FOR THE YEAR FOR THOSE CITIES.

THE FEDERAL RESERVE AND THEIR COMMENTS ABOUT ECONOMIC GROWTH CALLED OUT HER CONCERT BECAUSE THEY ANTICIPATE IT WILL GENERATE IN THE UNITED STATES ACROSS THE 50 CITIES OVER $4.6 BILLION IN ECONOMIC IMPACT.

>>> FINALLY TONIGHT, A WOMAN IN EL CAJON CELEBRATING HER 106th BIRTHDAY.
