FOR MORE THAN TWO THIRDS OF AN INCH AT OCEANSIDE TO JUST MORE THAN AN INCH AT SAN DIEGO INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT.

ADD THAT TO THE NEARLY 2/3 OF AN INCH THAT WE GOT ON MONDAY FROM THE STORM.

WE BEGAN THE RAINY SEASON, THE WATER YEAR, WITH NEARLY AN INCH OF PRECIPITATION.

BUT DOES THE NICE, WET START PORTEND GOOD THINGS FOR THE WINTER?

NOT NECESSARILY.

>> WE ARE ENTERING LA NINA, WHICH IS THE COLDER PHASE IN THE EQUATORIAL PACIFIC OCEAN.

NOT JUST IN THE UNEMPLOYMENT RATE, BUT IN AN INCLUSIVE RECOVERY THAT REALLY REACHES EVERY VULNERABLE GROUP.

REPUBLICAN CONGRESSMAN SAID IT WAS MADE POSSIBLE BY A PRIVATE COMPANY, ALONG WITH MEMBERS OF CONGRESS, CALLING ON THE STATE DEPARTMENT TO BETTER CREDIT PUBLIC PARTNERSHIPS TO GET REMAINING AMERICAN CITIZENS AND THEIR FAMILIES OUT OF AFGHANISTAN, CAUGHT UP IN THE CHAOS OF THE LAST DAYS OF THE U.S.

ENGAGEMENT IN AFGHANISTAN, ONE FORMER INTERPRETER IS GETTING BACK TO THE DIFFICULT TASK OF CREATING A NEW LIFE IN HIS ADOPTIVE COUNTRY, KPBS REPORTED HER BOSS.

>> CAROLINA 150.

>> Reporter: A FORMER INTERPRETER FOR U.S.

FORCES SITS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT OF A TRACTOR-TRAILER ON A DRIVE- THROUGH NORTH CAROLINA.

USING HIS NICKNAME, THE ONE PROVIDED BY U.S.

TROOPS, SINCE HE STILL HAS FAMILY BACK IN AFGHANISTAN.

SO HOW DO YOU LIKE TRUCK DRIVING?

>> IS GOOD.

I LIKE SOME OF IT.

IT IS ABOUT THE ONLY THING THAT I HAD AS AN OPTION.

>> Reporter: HE IS TRAINING TO BE A LONG-HAUL TRUCK DRIVER.

HE SETTLED IN SAN DIEGO AFTER RECEIVING A VISA IN 2017, HE IS NOW REBOOTING HIS LIFE IN AMERICA AFTER A RECENT HARROWING ESCAPE FROM HIS FORMER HOMELAND.

>> Reporter: LUCKY HAD NOT EXPECTED TO RETURN TO AFGHANISTAN, BUT HIS MOTHER FELT SERIOUSLY ILL. >> MY BROTHER CALLED AND SAID THAT SHE IS IN HOSPITAL.

AND I DECIDED TO GO THERE FOR A WEEK OR 10 DAYS.

>> Reporter: HE TOOK A CHANCE, THINKING THAT THE U.S. WOULD NOT PULL OUT UNTIL LATER.

THE THINGS CHANGED OVERNIGHT, BY MID AUGUST, LUCKY WAS TRAPPED WHEN HIS VILLAGE FELL TO THE TALIBAN, LUCKY AND HIS FAMILY WERE HELPED BY AMERICAN VETERANS STEPPED IN TO GUIDE THEIR FORMER TRANSLATORS OUT OF THE COUNTRY, HE MADE IT OUT, ALTHOUGH MANY DID NOT, THE PRESIDENT OF REFUGEES INTERNATIONAL.

>> ALL INDICATIONS ARE THAT THE AFGHANS, LIKE OTHER REFUGEE GROUPS, WILL BECOME, YOU KNOW, IMPORTANT INTRUDERS TO AMERICAN SOCIETY, AND HELP ADDRESS LABOR SHORTAGE ISSUES IN PLACES LIKE -- WHERE THERE ARE REAL CHALLENGES IN THAT REGARD, SO THIS WILL BE A GOOD STORY.

>> Reporter: THEY ARE ALSO ONE OF THE GROUPS CALLING FOR A PATHWAY TO CITIZENSHIP FOR AFGHANS BEING PROCESSED THROUGH U.S. MILITARY BASES WHO DO NOT QUALIFY FOR OTHER PROGRAMS LIKE SPECIAL IMMIGRATION VISAS.

ALSO, $5 MILLION TO AID AND RESETTLEMENT, THEY ALSO WANT THE PRESIDENT TO RAISE THE TOTAL NUMBER OF REFUGEES ALLOWED IN THE UNITED STATES TO 200,000 FOR THE NEXT YEARS.

A RELATIVELY MODEST INCREASE GIVEN THE TENS OF THOUSANDS OF VIETNAMESE IMMIGRATED TO THE U.S. AFTER THE WAR.

>> WE KNOW THAT THEY ARE HERE, I, MY WIFE TOLD ME.

>> Reporter: LUCKY GIVES ME A VIRTUAL TOUR FROM INSIDE THE TRUCK.

AS THE SUN WAS GOING DOWN IN NORTH CAROLINA, WE TALKED AS THE TRUCK WAS BEING UNLOADED.

IT IS DYING RIGHT IN FRONT OF OUR EYES, THE CRASH HAPPENED IN PLAINVIEW, AND SO, CAN WE RESUSCITATED?

AND THAT IS A LOT OF RESPONSIBILITY.

AND I GUESS THAT IS PART OF THE REASON THAT THE FIGHT IS WORKING.

>> SHE HAS BEEN TARGETED FOR HER CRITICAL REPORTS ON THE PHILIPPINES PRESIDENT.

AND SIX OF HIS COLLEAGUES HAVE BEEN KILLED.

CALLING OUT THE GOVERNMENT AND DEFENDING THE RIGHTS OF JOURNALISTS.

>>> AN AND SUNITA RESIDENT SAID HE IS TIRED OF FINDING DISCARDED BALLOONS ON THE BEACH, HE IS PETITIONING THE CITY TO BAN THEM, AND AS KPBS REPORTER ALEXANDER WHEN TELLS US, THE CITY IS CONSIDERING THE IDEA.

>> Reporter: MOST DAYS YOU CAN FIND MARK O'CONNOR PICKING UP TRASH ON HIS DAILY WALKS ON THE BEACH, AND USUALLY A DISCARDED BALLOON WOULD BE FOUND AMONGST THE RUBBISH.

>> SOMETIMES THEY ARE IN A CLUSTER, YOU FIND THREE OR FOUR OF THEM TOGETHER.

>> Reporter: THEY ALSO POSE A DANGER TO MARINE LIFE.

>> A BALLOON WILL LOOK LIKE A JELLYFISH TO AN ANIMAL.

SO CRITICAL EITHER.

I PICKED THIS UP YESTERDAY, THOUGH RIBBONS ARE AROUND TALENTS, BEAKS, WINGS, AND IT MAKES IT DIFFICULT FOR ANY ANIMAL TO FEED ITSELF OR TO MANEUVER.

>> Reporter: ACCORDING TO THE ATMOSPHERIC AND MINISTRATION, BALLOONS ARE THE GREATEST THREAT AFTER PLASTIC BAGS AND UTENSILS.

THAT IS WHY THE LOCAL SURFRIDER AND THE SURFRIDER FOUNDATION ARE PUSHING FOR A BALLOON BAN.

>> THEY HAVE COLLECTED WHAT THEY HAVE PUT ON IT, BUT NOT EVERYBODY IS SUPPORTING THE IDEA.

THE BALLOON COUNSEL IS AN OPPONENT, IT IS THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF BALLOON MANUFACTURERS, DISTRIBUTORS, AND RETAILERS, THE DISCARDED, IF THEY ARE DISCARDED PROPERLY, THEY POSED NO DANGER TO THE ENVIRONMENT.

THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR FOR THE GROUP.

>> PEOPLE'S BEHAVIOR NEEDS TO CHANGE, WE PREFER EDUCATION OF HER LEGISLATION.

WE TALK TO THE PEOPLE AND WE WANT THEM TO ENFORCE A BALLOON IF THEY PASS IT AND REMIND THE PUBLIC THAT IT EXISTS, THAT WOULD GO A LONG WAY.

>> Reporter: THE ENVIRONMENTAL, THEY WILL MOVE TO CITY COUNCIL FOR CONSIDERATION, IF PASSED, IT COULD BECOME ONE OF THE FIRST CITIES IN THE STATE TO BAN LIGHTER THAN AIR BALLOONS.

ALEXANDER NGUYEN, KPBS NEWS.

>>> WELL, IT IS LOOKING A LOT QUIETER AS WE GET TO THE WEEKEND.

SOME WELCOME NEWS, BUT THIS PATTERN CHANGE TOWARDS EARLY NEXT WEEK, WE WILL SEE THE WINDS PICK UP BY THE WEEKEND, AND WE WILL BE TALKING ABOUT SOME GUSTY TIMES BEHIND THAT PATTERN CHANGE AS WE GET INTO NEXT WEEK.

TODAY IS RAINFALL, THESE ARE EARLY PRELIMINARY ACT.

WE DID GET QUITE A BIT OF NOTEWORTHY RAIN, EVEN IN SOME SPOTS LIKE OLSON, OCEANSIDE, BUT FOR MANY HERE, AND WE CAN TELL THAT WE MOSTLY CAME IN AROUND MAYBE 1/10 OF AN INCH, TO A QUARTER OF AN INCH OF RAIN HERE, SO AGAIN, UNOFFICIALLY THE EARLY ESTIMATE THERE, MORE THAN 1500 OF AN INCH OF RAIN.

AND SO THESE ARE SOME OF THE READINGS AROUND THE REGION, NOT ANY RAIN TONIGHT, TONIGHT IS LOOKING QUIET, THERE ARE A COUPLE OF CLOUDS OUT THERE EARLY ON, BUT WE WILL SEE CLEARER AND CLEARER CONDITIONS AS WE VENTURE INTO TOMORROW MORNING, 54, THE LOW IN THE CITY, AND AS WE MOVE THROUGH HERE, WE CAN SEE THAT THESE CLOUDS ARE REALLY TRYING TO LEAVE US, AND LOTS OF MOISTURE TRYING TO LEAVE US, QUIETER, QUIETER TIMES AS WE GET INTO THE WEEKEND.

THAT'S RIGHT, COOLER AIR, FUNNELING IN THROUGH THE STORM SYSTEM, IT IS MOVING ITS WAY TO THE EAST.

WORKING ITS WAY TO THE PLAINS.

AS IT DOES SO, IT WILL BRING STRONG, SEVERE WEATHER HEADING INTO SUNDAY NIGHT.

THE SOUTHERN AND CENTRAL PLAINS.

FOR US, WE ARE LOOKING QUIET, EVEN INTO TOMORROW.

WE START OUT THE WEEK AT 74, THE HIGH.

MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES.

VENTURING AROUND THE REGION, YOU CAN SEE MID-50s FROM LAGUNA AND 82 IN BORREGO SPRINGS.

AS I MENTIONED, THE COLDER REALLY COMES BLASTING IN, HEADING INTO THE START OF NEXT WEEK.

AS IT MOVES INTO THE INTERIOR WEST, WE ARE GOING TO FIND >> WINDS, THE OFFSHORE FLOW WILL BE CREATING PROBLEMS FOR US.

FOR THE COAST, ALL IS LOOKING GOOD, PRETTY BREADTH OF THE BACON, TEMPERATURES IN THE MID- -70S.

WE WILL SEE A FEW EXTRA CLOUDS, GETTING INTO MONDAY, THAT IS PROBABLY GOING TO BE THE ONLY CHANGE THAT WE WILL REALLY NOTICE, THIS WILL ALSO BE A PATH OF THE LOCATION.

AS THAT FRONT IS PUSHING IN OF FROM THE NORTH, THEN WE START TO COOL OFF A LITTLE BIT INTO TUESDAY, LOOK AT THE MOUNTAIN LOCATION, 40s HERE FOR TUESDAY, THAT IS THE CHANGE THAT WE HAVE, THAT COOLER SYSTEM, WORKING THROUGH THE INTERIOR COME I DON'T THE?

SEE ANY SNOW.

BUT IT IS AGAIN, A BIT OF THE CHANGE, INCLUDING THE DESERT LOCATION, BACK TO THE LOWER- 70S, FOR KPBS I AM METEOROLOGIST LAURA CONSTANZA.

>>> PEOPLE MIGHT WANT TO DO THEIR HOLIDAY SHOPPING EARLY, ESPECIALLY IF THEY HAVE KIDS.

MERYL KOVIC EXPLAINED WHY THE COMPANIES ARE WORRIED ABOUT KEEPING UP THE DEMAND.

>> POINT COMPANIES ARE LOOKING AT A HORRIBLE HOLIDAY SHOPPING SEASON.

SIMILAR TO WHAT WE ARE SEEING WITH MICROCHIPS AND THE FACT THAT COMMUNAL, AUTOMOTIVE COMPANIES HAVE TO CUT BACK PRODUCTION, AND THERE IS NOT ENOUGH CARS ON THE DEALER LOT, THE SAME THING IS HAPPENING IN THE TOY BUSINESS, BECAUSE OF THE DEMAND FOR ALL SORTS OF GOODS, THERE ARE NO SHIPPING CONTAINERS AVAILABLE FOR SHIPS AVAILABLE TO BRING TOYS OVER DURING THIS HOLIDAY SHOPPING WITH HER, SO FOR EXAMPLE, THE AVERAGE CONTAINER WHICH COST ABOUT $3000 TO, YOU KNOW, TO BUILD, THAT COST HAS GONE UP TO $20,000, SO THE TRANSPORTATION COSTS HAVE INCREASED SIX FOLD, THE LITTLE RETURNS WHICH NORMALLY ARE FOUR TO SIX WEEKS, THEY ARE EXTENDING TO 12, 16 WEEKS, PARENTS ARE LOOKING FOR TOYS COMES OF THE MORE PUBLIC TOYS, MORE TRADITIONAL TOYS, THEY MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE.

>>> THE HIGH COST OF LIVING AND BIG TAXES ARE THE REASON WHY SOME COMPANIES THREATEN TO LEAVE CALIFORNIA.

AS AMANDA DELL CASINO REPORTS, ONE PACK CEO IS MAKING GOOD ON THAT THREAT.

>> WE ARE MOVING OUR HEADQUARTERS TO AUSTIN, TEXAS.

>> Reporter: ELON MUSK, MAKING THE ANNOUNCEMENT DURING THE COMPANY'S ANNUAL SHAREHOLDERS MEETING ON THURSDAY, THE NEWS WAS MET WITH CHEERS AND APPLAUSE, BUT BACK HOME, BUSINESS LEADERS DID NOT MINCE WORDS.

THE MAC THERE IS NO WAY TO CANDY COAT IT, IT IS DISAPPOINTING NEWS.

>> Reporter: SILICON VALLEY LEADERSHIP GROUP AHMAD THOMAS SAID NOTHING COMPARES TO THE INFORMATION INFRASTRUCTURE IN CALIFORNIA.

BUT THEY POINTED TO COSTS.

WITH THE COMPANY CURRENTLY HEADQUARTERED IN PALO ALTO.

>> PEOPLE, IT IS HARD NOT TO, FAR AWAY, I AM TAKING IT AS FAR AS POSSIBLE, BUT IT IS ABOUT HOW BIG YOU CAN SCALE IT IN THE BAY AREA.

>> Reporter: HE SAID THE COMPANY IS NOT MOVING OUT OF ITS FREMONT FACTORY, ADDING THAT HE PLANS TO INCREASE OUTPUT THERE BY 50%, BUT IT IS THE COMPANY HEADQUARTERS HERE LONG DEER CREEK ROAD, RELOCATING TO AUSTIN.

>> THIS PLACE IS REALLY THE CRADLE OF INNOVATION.

THIS IS GROUND ZERO FOR THE NEW TECHNOLOGY OVER THE NEXT MONTH.

TURKEY SAN JOSE STATE PROFESSOR SAID THE MOVE WOULD MAKE WAY FOR MORE OPPORTUNITIES.

>> THERE ARE SO MANY OTHER, ELON MUSK, STILL, IN MAKING, IN THE SILICON VALLEY, THERE ARE SO MANY OTHER TESLAS.

THROUGHOUT SILICON VALLEY.

>> GOVERNOR NEWSOM REACTED TO THE NEWS, SAYING THAT ALIMONY WILL CONTINUE TO INVEST IN THE PRODUCTION AND DEVELOPMENT OF ELECTRIC CARS.

MUSK HAS NOT INTRODUCED A TIME- OUT FOR THE MOVE.

>>> THE GREAT RESIGNATION, EMPLOYMENT NUMBERS FELL SHORT OF EXPECTATIONS, AS WORKERS CONTINUE TO LEAVE THEIR JOBS IN THE WAKE OF THE PANDEMIC.

COMING UP AT 7:00 AFTER EVENING EDITION.

>>> ORIGINALLY SET FOR RELEASE IN APRIL LAST YEAR, NO TIME TO DIE FINALLY ARRIVES IN MOVIE THEATERS TODAY, KPBS CINEMA JUNKIE BOB HAS THIS SPOILER- FREE REVIEW OF THE LATEST JAMES BOND FILM.

>> Reporter: THREE DELAYS, 18 MONTHS, IT IS FINALLY HERE.

AND WE HAVE MISSED YOU, MR.

BOND.

I HAVE TO CONFESS, WHEN THE OPENING MUSIC FOR NO TIME TO DIE OPENED IN CINEMAS, I HAD GOOSEBUMPS.

I HAVE BEEN IN A HEIGHTENED STATE OF ANTICIPATION, WAITING FOR BOND 25, THE FINAL ENTRY IN THE DANIEL CRAIG W7 FILMS.

I WAS EXCITED BUT SAD THAT CRAIG'S BOND WAS COMING TO AN END.

BUT THE WAIT WAS WORTH IT.

HE DELIVERS ALL OF THE EXCITEMENT THAT YOU WOULD RESPECT FROM A 77 MOVIE, BUT AN UNNAMED UNEXPECTED EMOTIONAL WAY.

PRODUCER BARBARA BROCCOLI, WHOSE FATHER HELPED LAUNCH THE FRANCHISE IN THE 1960S HAS DONE FOR BOND WHAT KEVIN TATIAN DID FOR MARVEL, SHE FOUGHT TO CAST DANIEL CRAIG, AND PUSHED THE FILMS INTO A MORE CONTEMPORARY AND GRITTY ARENA, AND NAOMI, THEY HAVE DIFFUSED THE TROPES ABOUT BOND GIRLS.

THE ONLY SHORTCOMING IS RAMI MALEK, A DISAPPOINTING CHOICE AS THE VILLAIN.

BUT THE GIRLS ARE WELCOME ADDITIONS THAT I HOPE WE SEE AGAIN, AND WHILE DANIEL CRAIG IS DONE WITH THE ROLE, THE FILM ENDS WITH THE ASSURANCE THAT JAMES BOND WILL RETURN.

AND I AM GAME TO SEE HOW.
