HE SAYS HE WAS JUST TRYING TO FIND A PLACE TO GO TO THE RESTROOM.

HE THEN SPENT THE NEXT FEW DAYS IN JAIL.

MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY SPOKE OUT AGAINST THE ARREST.

>> ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE CALL FOR, IS WHEN INDIVIDUALS ARE ENCOUNTERED WE WANT PROCEDURAL JUSTICE WHICH MEANS YOU TREAT THEM WITH RESPECT.

WE WANT THE POLICE TO BE NEUTRAL AND TRANSPARENT IN DECISION-MAKING.

>> THEY ARE CALLING FOR A RELEASE OF BODY CAMERA FOOTAGE.

AS WELL AS THE DISPATCH CALL THAT BROUGHT OFFICERS TO THE AREA.

THEY ARE LOOKING FOR THE CITY TO ALSO EXPAND PUBLIC RESTROOMS.

>> I AM CALLING ON THE MAYOR TO EXPAND PUBLIC RESTROOMS ACROSS THE COMMUNITY AND TO EMPLOY SECURITY UPON THEM.

BECAUSE, USING THE BATHROOM IS A RIGHT, NOT A PRIVILEGE.

>> Reporter: TWO STUDENTS FROM UC SD SPOKE WITH US.

THEY PASS THE AREA EVERY DAY.

IT'S BUCKET STUDENTS WERE SHOCKED TO SEE HIM IN A VIOLENT SITUATION.

WE ARE USED TO HIM BEING A CALM PERSON.

HE READS A BOOK AT THE BUS STOP BY OUR HOUSE.

HE IS A CITIZEN AND THE COMMUNITY MEMBER.

>> Reporter: THE SAN DIEGO POLICE DEPARTMENT HAS NOT RESPONDED TO REQUEST FOR COMMENT.

I AM MAX RIVLIN-NADLER FOR KPBS NEWS.

>>> NEW CDC GUIDANCE IS FULLY VACCINATED PEOPLE NO LONGER HAVE TO WEAR FACE COVERINGS IN MOST SITUATIONS.

KPBS REPORTER ALEXANDRA HILL HAS MORE ON WHAT THIS MEANS FOR SAN DIEGANS.

>> Reporter: A STEP IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION FOR SOME.

>> IT WILL BE NICE TO NOT HAVE TO WEAR A MASK.

BUT I UNDERSTAND, IT IS A PROCESS THAT WILL TAKE TIME.

IT >> Reporter: AUSTIN SCOTT'S IS WORKING OUT WITH A MASK IS NOT EASY.

AND WITH AN INCREASE IN PEOPLE INOCULATED, HE BELIEVES THE CDC IS MAKING THE RIGHT MOVE.

>> WE DO NEED TO RETURN TO NORMALCY EVENTUALLY SO I SUPPORT TAKING THE MASKS OFF.

>> Reporter: THE CDC SAYS FULLY VACCINATED PEOPLE CAN NOW RESUME INDOOR AND OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES AND THEY SAY SOCIAL DISTANCING IS NOT NEEDED.

THE NEW GUIDANCE CONFLICTS WITH A CALIFORNIA STATE MANDATE.

GOVERNOR GAVIN NEWSOM ANNOUNCED THAT THE MASKING MANDATE WILL STAY IN PLACE UNTIL JUNE 15.

AND THE CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC HEALTH IS REVIEWING THE CDC RECOMMENDATIONS BUT THE STATE MANDATE TAKES PRECEDENCE.

SOME PEOPLE CANNOT WAIT TO GET RID OF MASKS BUT OTHERS SAY THEY ARE MASKING UP REGARDLESS.

>> I THINK IT IS TOO SOON.

I THINK YOU STILL NEED THE MASK.

EVEN IF YOU HAVE THE VACCINE YOU STILL SHOULD WEAR A MASK.

YOU CAN STILL GIVE THE CORONAVIRUS.

$20 BILLION TO TRANSFORM PUBLIC SCHOOLS INTO GATEWAYS FOR OPPORTUNITY AND $12 MILLION FOR HOMELESSNESS.

IT JUST OVER $5 MILLION FOR DROUGHT AND WATER INFRASTRUCTURE.

>> THIS IS A HISTORIC TRANSFORMATIONAL BUDGET.

WE ARE NOT PLAYING IN THE MARGINS.

WE ARE TRYING TO DO THINGS THAT THE STATE HAS TALKED ABOUT BUT NEVER BEEN ABLE TO ACCOMPLISH BECAUSE WE DID NOT HAVE THE RESOURCES TO DO IT.

>> Reporter: THE BUDGET PROPOSAL IS ONE THIRD LARGER THAN THE CURRENT SPENDING PLAN.

THANKS TO A $76 BILLION PLAN.

>>> THE NAVY IS LOOKING TO BUILD THOUSANDS OF APARTMENTS IN THE MIDWAY DISTRICT.

KPBS REPORTER ANDREW BOWEN SAYS IT WILL ALSO INCLUDED TRANSIT CENTER.

AN OUTDATED WAREHOUSE FROM THE 1970S.

THE NAVY HAS BEEN CONSIDERING REDEVELOPING THE LAND.

THEY HAVE ANNOUNCED A ROW OF HIGH-RISE BUILDINGS INCLUDING HOTELS, OFFICES AND MORE.

THE REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION AGENCY WOULD BE ALLOWED TO FULFILL ITS GOAL OF BUILDING A SAN DIEGO GRAND CENTRAL WITH A REAL CONNECTION TO THE AIRPORT.

>> THIS IS AN INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY FOR THE NAVY AND THE COMMUNITY TO WORK TOGETHER TO NOT ONLY PROVIDE A STATE-OF- THE-ART FACILITY IN SAN DIEGO BUT TO PROVIDE SOMETHING POSITIVE FOR THE CITY.

IT >> Reporter: AN ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STUDY SAYS IT WOULD CAUSE MORE CONGESTION IN THE AREA WITH TRAFFIC.

BUT THEY SAY THE SITE PROXIMITY TO PUBLIC TRANSIT AND DOWNTOWN STILL MAKES IT A BETTER PLACE FOR NEW HOUSING THAN MORE SUBURBAN SPRAWL.

>> WE CAN AND SHOULD LOOK TO USING PUBLIC TRANSIT AS A WAY TO LIMIT THE NUMBER OF CAR TRIPS OR REDUCE THE NUMBER OF CAR TRIPS IN PROJECTS LIKE THIS.

AND THAT IS PART OF THE PLAN BUT WE SHOULD TAKE A CLOSER LOOK AT HOW WE CAN DO MORE OF THAT.

>> Reporter: THE PLAN DOES NOT NEED APPROVAL FROM THE CITY OF SAN DIEGO BUT TWO VIRTUAL TOWN HALLS ARE PLANNED NEXT MONTH.

I AM ANDREW BOWEN FOR KPBS NEWS.

THEY FOUND HER GENETICS ON A ANCESTRY WEBSITE.

>> I NEED 100% CONSENT FROM YOU, WILL YOU PARTICIPATE IS WHAT WE ASK.

THE INVESTIGATION IS ONGOING.

IT >> Reporter: THIS HAPPENED OUTSIDE OF THE SEMPRA ENERGY BUILDING AS SHAREHOLDERS HAD THEIR ANNUAL MEETING.

LINDA GARCIA SAYS SEMPRA MAKES MILLIONS OF DOLLARS PER DAY FOR MY PRODUCT POISONING THE PLANET.

>> THEY NEED TO TRANSITION TO CLEAN ENERGY.

THEY CONTINUE TO TRANSITION TO FOSSIL FUELS AND THAT IS REALLY DAMAGING TO THE COMMUNITY.

THEY BASICALLY KEEP US FROM ACCESSING CLEAN-AIR.

>> SPEAKERS AT THE EVENT CALLED OFF THE COMPANY FOR IGNORING CLIMATE SCIENCE WHILE PUSHING FOR THE USE OF MORE FOSSIL FUEL AND NOT LESS.

>> AND JUSTICE REQUIRES US TO REALLY TAKE A LOOK AT THE TRUTH.

>> SONIA ROBINSON WORKS WITH THE PROTECTOR COMMUNITY FOUNDATION.

IT SHE SAYS BROWN AND BLACK COMMUNITIES SUFFER THE MOST WHEN COMPANIES LIKE SEMPRA IGNORE THE SCIENCE OF CLIMATE CHANGE.

>> WE NEED TO EMBRACE OUR RIGHTS.

IT IS OUR CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT TO BE FREE OF THIS.

>> KPBS REACHED OUT TO SEMPRA FOR COMMENT.

AT THE SHAREHOLDER MEETING, SHAREHOLDERS BACK TO PLAN TO ALIGN WITH THE PARIS CLIMATE ACCORD.

SHAREHOLDERS WERE URGED THOUGH TO VOTE NO.

KPBS REPORTER JOE HONG IS SHOWING HOW MUSIC CAN HELP STUDENTS RECOVER FROM THE PANDEMIC SCHOOL YEAR.

SHE JUST WENT BACK TO IN PERSON TEACHING IN CHULA VISTA RECENTLY AND SHE BROUGHT THE UKULELE WITH HER.

AND IT IS HELPING STUDENTS ADOPT.

>> MAYBE MUSIC CAN GET THEM OUT OF THEIR HEAD AND OUT OF A TOUGH SITUATION.

>> IT IS NOT JUST THE STUDENTS THAT BENEFIT.

>> THERE HAS BEEN A LOT OF ANXIETY WITH BEING ON THE CAMERA AND NOW BACK IN PERSON.

WHEN I PLAY MUSIC, I CAN GET OUT OF MY OWN HEAD AND OUT OF MY OWN ANXIOUS FEELINGS AND IT CENTERS ME.

SO, IT HELPS ME TO CALM DOWN.

>> Reporter: EDUCATORS ARE LEARNING ABOUT LEARNING LOST DURING THE PANDEMIC, BUT THEY SAY CREATING ACADEMIC RECOVERY COULD CREATE MORE PROBLEMS FOR STUDENTS.

THERE IS A THINK TANK CALLED POLICY ANALYSIS FOR CALIFORNIA EDUCATION.

THEY SAY THAT ARTS IN THE CLASS CAN HELP SERVE AS AN ANTIDOTE TO ANXIETY.

>> WHEN KIDS COME BACK TO SCHOOL AFTER BEING AWAY, THEY ARE BRINGING NOT ONLY, POTENTIALLY, ACADEMIC CHALLENGES BUT THEY HAVE HAD A WIDE RANGE OF EMOTIONAL EXPERIENCES AND THEIR SOCIAL EMOTIONAL AWARENESS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED.

>> THINGS LIKE THE ARTS, THOSE ACTIVITIES THAT ARE MORE OFTEN OFF TO THE SIDE ARE PLACES WHERE STUDENTS WHERE THEY CAN DEVELOP RELATIONSHIPS THEY SAY THIS IS HELPING STUDENTS AS THEY EMERGE FROM ISOLATION.

>> I HAD SOME STUDENTS THAT HAD A LOT OF ANXIETY COMING BACK TO THE CLASSROOM AND BEING ABLE TO DO ART AND DRAW BROUGHT THEM OUT OF THEIR SHELL.

>> Reporter: BUT ACADEMICS AND THE ARTS ARE NOT SEPARATE.

SOME STUDENTS LEARNED ABOUT BUGS THAT POLLINATE THE SOIL IN THE AREA.

>> WHEN THEY CAN SEE IN THE BOOK AND CREATE THEIR OWN, THEY CAN REALLY SAY THAT THEY HAVE LEARNED IT.

>> Reporter: HUNT IS RETIRING THIS YEAR BUT SHE HOPES THE NEW NORMAL DOES NOT CONTINUE WITH THE HYPERFOCUS ON STANDARDIZED TESTS.

>> WHETHER IT IS CREATING SOMETHING THAT MAKES THEM FEEL GOOD ABOUT THEMSELVES OR SOMETHING THAT THEY HAVE CREATED THAT THEY ARE PROUD OF.

OR SOMETHING THAT THEY HAVE CREATED THAT TAKES SADNESS AWAY.

THAT IS STILL IMPORTANT.

BEING ABOUT THE CLASSROOM AND NOT WHETHER OR NOT THEY CAN BUBBLE IN.

>> I'M LISA HELMKE KPBS NEWS.

>>> KPBS REPORTER MELISSA MAE WENT DOWN TO THE SAN DIEGO RIVER FOR THE SAN DIEGO CLEANUP DAY.

>>> THE BIG STORY THIS WEEKEND WILL BE THE UPPER LEVEL LOW MOVING INTO THE INTERIOR SOUTHWEST.

AND AS IT DOES SO, THERE WILL BE CHANGES.

YOU WILL NOTICE A DEEPER MARINE LAYER AND COOLER TEMPERATURES AS WELL AS GUSTY WINDS.

TONIGHT, WE ARE LOOKING AT MORE OF THE SAME AS WE GO THROUGH THE EVENING.

NUMBERS COMING BACK TO THE LOWER 60s.

CLOUDS WORKING THEIR WAY IN AN THE MARINE LAYER.

MORE OR LESS SIMILAR TO WHAT WE HAVE SEEN THE LAST FEW NIGHT.

WE WILL SEE THIS THICK LAYER GOING INTO TOMORROW MORNING.

ONCE WE GO INTO THE AFTERNOON, THINGS WILL BACK OFF WITH THAT MARINE LAYER BUT WE WILL STRUGGLE MORE AND MORE TO DO THAT.

WE COULD HAVE WILDFIRE THREATS BECAUSE OF LIGHTNING ASSOCIATED WITH THUNDERSTORMS.

SO, WE COULD SEE SOME EXTRA CLOUDS AT TIMES.

66 IS THE HIGH IN SAN DIEGO AND WE WILL HEDGE NUMBERS DOWN GOING THROUGH THE WEEK TOMORROW, IT IS MORE OF THE SAME WITH THE MARINE LAYER DOES NOT GO FAR.

THE FUTURECAST IS TRYING TO HOLD OFF SOME DRIZZLE.

SUNDAY, WE WILL NOT BREAK OUT COMPLETELY BECAUSE THIS UPPER LEVEL LOW IS KEEPING THE ONSHORE FLOW AT BAY.

WE COULD HAVE MISSED AND DRIZZLE THROUGH SUNDAY MORNING BUT I DO NOT THINK IT WILL BE A BIG TREND INLAND.

TEMPERATURES FALLING INTO THE MID-60s THIS AFTERNOON.

LOWER 50s WILL BE THE HIGH END AS WE VENTURE INTO THE DESERTS WE WILL HAVE A COOL DOWN.

I AM ACCUWEATHER METEOROLOGIST MELISSA CONSTANZER.

>>> McDONALD'S SAYS THEY WILL BE GIVING WORKERS A BOOST IN PAY.

LET'S TAKE A LOOK THE FRIDAY BUSINESS REPORT.

>> McDONALD'S IS INCREASING THE SHIFT MANAGER PAID TO $13 PER HOUR AND THEY ARE ONLY GOING TO DO THIS IN CORPORATE OWNED STORES.

McDONALD'S IS 14,000 FRANCHISEES IN THE UNITED STATES SO, THESE CORPORATE STORES ARE RUN LIKE A FRANCHISE AND IF THEY CAN MAKE THE WAGE STRUCTURE WORK IT WILL ALLOW THE FRANCHISE LOCATION TO INCREASE WAGES BUT IT IS AN IMPORTANT CHOICE BECAUSE IT IS STAGE, THEY ARE MOVING THE GOALPOST TO A LIVING WAGE SO THAT WORKERS CAN RAISE THEIR FAMILIES ON WHAT IS BEING PAID.

>>> THE PADRES ARE RETURNING TO PETCO PARK FOR A NINE-GAME HOMESTAND.

TONIGHT THEY ARE TAKING ON THE CARDINALS WITHOUT SOME STAR PLAYERS.

TWO TESTED POSITIVE FOR COVID- 19.

>>> MOVIE THEATERS ARE OPENING AGAIN BUT THE BEST MOVIE AVAILABLE IS ONLY STREAMING.

LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT'S GOOD TO SEE.

>>> WELL, "THERE IS NO EVIL" IS ABOUT IRANIANS THAT HAVE TO FOLLOW THE DEATH PENALTY SENTENCING.

DESPITE PRESSURE FROM AUTHORITIES, THE FILMMAKER REFUSES TO BACK AWAY FROM QUESTIONING HIS GOVERNMENT.

WHAT IS COMPELLING IS THAT WHILE HE IS CRITICAL OF THE DEATH PENALTY IN IRAN, HE IS HUMANE AND COMPASSIONATE TOWARDS CHARACTERS AS THEY GRAPPLE WITH OPTIONS AND DEAL WITH THE CONSEQUENCES.

IT CONTEMPLATES PROVOCATIVE MORAL QUESTIONS.

"PROFILE" IS INSPIRED BY A REAL STORY.

THE FILM VERSION OF A JOURNALIST GOING UNDER COVERED TO BATES A TERRORIST.

I HAVE TO GIVE CREDIT TO THE DIRECTOR FOR MAKING THIS PLAY OUT IN A VISUALLY ENGAGING MANNER. "

PROFILE" MAKES NO TIMES FOR THE ISSUES THAT IT RAISES.

>>> AND THERE IS ANOTHER "SAW" FAILED.

THESE FILMS ARE ALL ABOUT ONE THING.

CLEVER AND GRUESOME HILLS.

"SPIRAL IS THE NINTH FILM IN THE FRANCHISE.

AND CHRIS ROCK AS AN HONEST COP IS GREAT TO WATCH.
