>> GOOD EVENING, THIS FRIDAY, 760, THANK YOU FOR JOINING US, I MAYA TRABULSI.

FIRES, HEAT WAVES, A STRANGE POWER GRID.

WE HAVE FELT MANY EFFECTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE HERE, IN SAN DIEGO COUNTY.

TODAY, GOVERNOR GAVIN NEWSOM ASSIGNED A CLIMATE ACTION PACKAGE THAT IS BEING TOUTED AS THE MOST AGGRESSIVE IN THE NATION.

KPBS REPORTER KITTY ALVARADO HAS MORE ON WHAT IS IN IT.

>> Reporter: THE BUNDLE OF NEW LAWS ARE INTENDED TO/THE COST OF FOSSIL FUELS AND SET THE DATE UP TO REACH ITS GOAL OF REACHING CARBON NEUTRALITY BY 2045.

NEWSOM SAID THE PACKAGE WILL MAKE CALIFORNIA THE NEW LEADER IN CLIMATE ACTION, AND GIVE A BUMP TO THE STATE ECONOMY.

>> WE ARE ON OUR WAY, EAT YOUR HEART OUT, GERMANY.

TO BEING THE FOURTH LARGEST ECONOMY IN THE WORLD, NO LONGER FIFTH-LARGEST ECONOMY.

>> Reporter: HE SAYS THIS IS BECAUSE THE BILLS WILL ACCELERATE THE ENERGY AND CREATE JOBS WHILE REDUCING CALIFORNIA'S OIL USE BY 91% AND CUTTING AIR POLLUTION BY 60%.

>> THIS CLIMATE COMMITMENT, A PACKAGE OF 40+ BILLS, SIX WHICH I SIGNED TODAY, ARE BACKED UP WITH 4 MILLION JOBS.

THEY ARE BACKED UP WITH BILLIONS AND BILLIONS OF DOLLARS OF TAXPAYER SAVINGS.

WE ESTIMATE $23 BILLION WILL BE SAVED BECAUSE OF THE MITIGATION INITIATIVES AND EFFORTS ADVANCED IN THIS BILL.

IN TERMS OF WHAT WOULD HAVE COST THE TAXPAYERS FOR JUST THE POLLUTION.

>> Reporter: THIS LEGISLATURE APPROVED ALMOST $54 BILLION TO FUND THE BILL'S PROGRAMS, INCLUDING A CARBON CAPTURE PLAN SPONSORED BY CENTRAL VALLEY SENATOR -- >> ROBIN CAPTURE IS A NEW TECHNOLOGY THAT IS MUCH MORE COMPLICATED THAN THIS, BUT BASICALLY IT HAS THE CAPACITY TO PULL CARBON OUT OF THE AIR, CARBON THAT IS HEATING NOT ONLY OUR STATE IN THE COUNTRY, BUT SLOWLY KILLING THE WORLD.

TO PULL IT OUT OF THE AIR, END OF STORY.

>> Reporter: THIS LEGISLATION COMES ON THE HEELS OF A RECORD- BREAKING HEAT WAVE THAT THREATENS THE STATE ENERGY GRID.

>> WE ARE DEALING WITH SUCH EXTREMES THAT ALL OUR MODELING, EVEN UPDATED MODELS, NEED TO BE THROWN OUT.

OUR TRANSITION IS NOT THE PROBLEM, CLIMATE IS THE PROBLEM.

>> Reporter: A PROBLEM THAT NEWSOM SAYS IS REFLECTED IN THE FIRES THAT HAVE DESTROYED THOUSANDS OF ACRES, AND STORMS THAT HAVE CAUSED DEVASTATING MUDSLIDES AND A THREATENING COASTAL COMMUNITIES.

>> IF YOU DO NOT BELIEVE SCIENCE, YOU HAVE TO BELIEVE YOUR OWN EYES.

>> Reporter: CLIMATE ACTIVISTS ARE APPLAUDING THE PACKAGE.

THE CENTER FOR BIOLOGICAL DIVERSITY ACTION SAID THESE CLIMATE BILLS ARE A BIG WIN FOR CALIFORNIA.

SENATE PRESIDENT PRO TEM, TONY ATKINS OF SAN DIEGO, SAID THAT BY SIGNING THE BILLS, THE GOVERNOR HAS ENSURED CALIFORNIA'S NATIONAL LEADERSHIP ON CLIMATE CHANGE NOW AND FOR THE FUTURE.

KITTY ALVARADO, KPBS NEWS.

>>> THE VISTA UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT IS ASKING THE PUBLIC TO BE PATIENT WHILE IT INVESTIGATES AN ATTACK AGAINST A STUDENT AT VISTA HIGH SCHOOL.

IN A NEWLY RELEASED VIDEO STATEMENT, DISTRICT SUPERINTENDENT MATT DOYLE SAYS SEVERAL STUDENTS HAVE ALREADY BEEN DISCIPLINED OVER THE INCIDENT.

HE ALSO REITERATED THAT THE 14- YEAR-OLD VICTIM WAS NOT INJURED OR SEXUALLY ASSAULTED.

>> REGARDLESS, IT IS OUR DETERMINATION THAT THE CONDUCT WAS UTTERLY UNACCEPTABLE.

THE BEHAVIOR, THE MISTREATMENT, THE LACK OF COMPASSION AND RESPECT FOR A FELLOW HUMAN, IS INTOLERABLE.

>> EARLIER THIS WEEK, STUDENTS AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS PROTESTED AT THE SCHOOL, WHICH THEN CANCELED AFTER SCHOOL ACTIVITIES, INCLUDING A VARSITY FOOTBALL GAME SCHEDULED FOR TONIGHT.

DOYLE SAYS THE DISTRICT HAS AN OBLIGATION TO DETERMINE WHETHER THE ATTACK WAS AN ISOLATED OCCURRENCE, AND HE ASKED THE COMMUNITY TO HELP KEEP THE CAMPUS CALM AND SAFE.

>>> IS ANY OF COUNTY DISTRICT ATTORNEY'S OFFICE IS NOT FILING CHARGES AGAINST THE CHAIR OF THE SAN DIEGO COUNTY DEMOCRATIC PARTY.

EARLIER THIS YEAR, WILL RODRIGUEZ-KENNEDY WAS ACCUSED OF SEXUAL ASSAULT BY AN EX- BOYFRIEND.

RODRIGUEZ-KENNEDY DENIED THOSE CLAIMS, BUT AGREED TO TAKE A LEAVE OF ABSENCE PENDING A PARTY INVESTIGATION.

HE SAID TODAY HE HAD COOPERATED WITH THE LAW ENFORCEMENT INVESTIGATIONS AND "WITH THIS TRAUMA BEHIND ME, I LOOK FORWARD TO RETURNING TO MY WORK AND SERVICE OF THE PUBLIC AND MY PARTY."

THE STATUS OF THE PARTY'S INTERNAL INVESTIGATION INTO THE MATTER IS STILL UNCLEAR.

>>> A NAVY ARSON TRIAL IS ABOUT TO GET UNDERWAY.

MORE THAN TWO YEARS AFTER A FIRE DESTROYED THE USS -- KPBS REPORTER STEVE WALSH SAYS THE TRIAL COMES AS THE NAVY CONTINUES TO UNRAVEL WHY THE FIRE BECAME ONE OF THE WORST PEACETIME DISASTERS IN ITS HISTORY.

>> Reporter: BEGINNING ON JULY 12th, 2020, THE USS -- BURNED FOR NEARLY FIVE DAYS IN SAN DIEGO BAY.

SENIOR CHIEF MICHAEL ROBERT PENNY REMEMBERS IT WELL.

>> IT WAS HORRIFYING, THE BIGGEST FIRE I HAVE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE.

A LOT OF SAILORS IT A LOT OF HARD WORK TO TRY AND SAVE THAT SHIP.

UNFORTUNATELY, IT WAS JUST TOO BIG, THE FIRE WAS TOO LARGE.

>> Reporter: PENNY WAS OFF THAT SUNDAY MORNING.

BY THE TIME HERO LIVES AT NAVAL BASE SAN DIEGO, THE SHIP WAS IN PLAY.

HE BECAME ONE OF THE NAVY INVESTIGATORS ON THE ORIGINS OF THE FIRE.

HE HAS NOT SPOKEN PUBLICLY ABOUT THE DISASTER UNTIL NOW.

THE BONHOMM RICHARD WAS BEING RENOVATED WHEN THE FIRE BROKE OUT.

IN ADDITION, PENNY SAYS THEY WERE SHORTHANDED THAT MORNING.

>> LACK OF EXPERIENCE, LACK OF TRAINING, COUPLED WITH THE LOSS OF ELECTRICAL POWER.

>> Reporter: WHEN AN EXPLOSION SETS DEBRIS HURTLING INTO THE NEARBY USS FITZGERALD, COMMANDERS ORDERED THE POWER TO THE PEER HE CUT SO SHIPS COULD MAKE AN EMERGENCY EXIT.

CUTTING POWER TO FIREFIGHTERS.

DURING ALL THIS WITH MIRAMAR FIRE ACADEMY AND A CAPTAIN WITH THE CORONADO FIRE DEPARTMENT WITH 25 YEARS EXPERIENCE.

HE SAYS NOTHING COMPARES WITH THE BONHOMM RICHARD FIRE.

>> PROBABLY THE LARGEST I HAVE EVER DEALT WITH ON THE BAY IN RECENT MEMORY.

>> Reporter: HE SAYS LOCAL FIREFIGHTERS ARE INVITED TO TRAIN WITH THE NAVY, THOUGH NAVY REPORTS ALSO SAY MUTUAL AID AGREEMENTS WITH LOCAL DEPARTMENTS ARE DECADES OLD.

FIRES ON BOARD SHIPS ARE SO DIFFERENT, THEY ARE NOT EVEN PART OF THE CURRICULUM FOR BEGINNING FIREFIGHTERS.

>> THE FIRST PART IS, IT IS ALL METAL.

SO, YOUR HEAT GETS CONDUCTED THROUGH WHERE YOU ARE WALKING, ON DIFFERENT FOURS OF THE SHIP.

WHEN YOU ARE LOOKING FOR THE SCENE OF THE FIRE, IT COULD BE DEEP INSIDE THE SHIP.

>> Reporter: THERE ARE STILL KEY QUESTIONS ABOUT HOW THE BONHOMME RICHARD FIRE STARTED.

SHIP FIRES ARE ACTUALLY FAIRLY COMMON.

NONETHELESS, SEAMAN APPRENTICE RYAN SAWYER-MAYS WAS CHARGED WITH ARSON, AND SET TO FACE COURT-MARTIAL LATER THIS MONTH.

HIS ATTORNEYS WANT TO INTRODUCE EVIDENCE OF ANOTHER SMALL FIRE THAT BROKE OUT ON THE NEARBY USS ESSEX THAT SAME MORNING.

-- WAS PART OF -- LEGAL TEAM.

HE SAYS ARSON CAN BE HARD TO PROVE, ESPECIALLY WHEN THERE IS EXTENSIVE DAMAGE.

>> MAYS HAS MAINTAINED HIS INNOCENCE THROUGHOUT.

WHETHER IT CAN BE PROVEN THAT IT WAS AN ARSON OR NOT, I THINK THAT IS ONE AREA THAT NEEDS TO BE PROCESSED.

>> Reporter: IN MILITARY COURT, THE ADMIRAL IN CHARGE HAS THE FINAL WORD.

BUT ONE REASON THE CASE HAS TAKEN SO LONG TO COME TO TRIAL IS A HEARING OFFICER ACTUALLY RULED THE NAVY DID NOT HAVE ENOUGH EVIDENCE TO CONVICT MAYS.

>> -- EVIDENCE OF THE GOVERNMENT WOULD -- PROVE BEYOND A REASONABLE DOUBT -- THE CASE NOT GO TO -- COURT- MARTIAL.

>> Reporter: PENNY, WHO INVESTIGATED THE FIRE, IS NOW HEAD OF DAMAGE CONTROL ON THE USS PORTLAND.

A SHIP VERY SIMILAR TO THE USS BONHOMME RICHARD.

PENNY PUSHES THE CREW OF HIS NEW SHIP.

>> I HAVE CHANGED THE WAY WE DO TRAINING ON HERE.

EVERY SINGLE SAILOR FROM THE CAPTAIN DOWN TO THE NEWEST SAILOR ON BOARD IS REQUIRED TO DON A FIREFIGHTING ENSEMBLE, WHILE FIREFIGHTING STATIONS ARE MAKING AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL POSSIBLE.

>> Reporter: AT LEAST 20 OFFICERS AND SAILORS WERE DISCIPLINED AFTER THE FIRE ON THE BONHOMME RICHARD, MEANWHILE, THE NAVY WAITS FOR THE JURY TO DECIDE WHAT CAUSED THE FIRE THAT DESTROYED THE BILLION-DOLLAR WARSHIP.

STEVE WALSH, KPBS NEWS.

>>> 50 VENEZUELAN MIGRANTS ARE NOW SHELTERED AT A MASSACHUSETTS MILITARY BASE.

FLOOR GOVERNOR RON DeSANTIS FLEW THE ASYLUM-SEEKERS FROM TEXAS TO MARTHA'S VINEYARD, SAYING "EVERY COMMUNITY IN AMERICA SHOULD SHARE IN THE BURDENS".

BUT PRESIDENT BIDEN SAID DeSANTIS AND OTHERS WENT TOO FAR WITH THEIR POLITICAL GAMES.

>> WORKING WITH US ON SOLUTIONS, REPUBLICANS HAVE BEEN PLAYING POLITICS WITH HUMAN BEINGS, USING THEM AS PROPS.

WHAT THEY ARE DOING IS SIMPLY WRONG, UN-AMERICAN, AND RECKLESS.

>> THE U.S. ATTORNEY FOR MASSACHUSETTS SAYS SHE WILL SPEAK WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE ABOUT THE STUNT.

GOVERNOR NEWSOME, WHO HAS OPENLY CRITICIZED THE FLORIDA GOVERNOR BEFORE, IS CALLING FOR AN INVESTIGATION INTO WHETHER DeSANTIS BROKE THE LAW.

>>> THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE ARE SAYING FINAL GOODBYES TO QUEEN ELIZABETH II.

THE LONG REIGNING MONARCH IS LYING IN HIS STATE BEFORE HER FUNERAL SERVICE ON MONDAY MORNING.

MOURNERS ARE WAITING HOURS IN A LINE THAT HAS STRETCHED FIVE MILES LONG TO PAY THEIR RESPECTS.

A HANDFUL OF SAN DIEGO AND REMEMBER THE WEEKEND IN FEBRUARY OF 1983, WHEN THE QUEEN AND PRINCE PHILIP VISITED SAN DIEGO.

KPBS REPORTER JOHN CARROLL, WHO ATTENDED MORNING CHURCH SERVICE WITH THE QUEEN AT WHAT IS NOW ST. PAUL'S EPISCOPAL CATHEDRAL.

>> Reporter: FEBRUARY 27th, 1983 WAS A DAY THAT FOLLOWED MONTHS OF PLANNING.

TICKETS THAT WENT PRIMARILY TO MEMBERS OF ST. PAUL'S WERE REQUIRED TO ATTEND THE SERVICE.

I WAS FORTUNATE.

I DID NOT NEED A TICKET BECAUSE MY FATHER, THE REVEREND JAMES CARROLL, WAS RECTOR OF ST. PAUL'S AT THE TIME.

THE MONTHS OF ANTICIPATION CULMINATED THAT MORNING.

EVERYONE HAD GONE THROUGH A METAL DETECTOR AND WAS SEATED.

THE FIRST THING I HEARD WERE THE NEWS HELICOPTERS.

AND THIS WAS WHAT WAS HAPPENING OUTSIDE.

THE QUEEN AND PRINCE PHILIP, ALONG WITH SECRET SERVICE AND LOTS OF STAFF, PULLING UP TO THE CHURCH.

I CAN HONESTLY SAY THE MOOD WAS ELECTRIC.

BEFORE I KNEW IT, MY DAD WAS ESCORTING THE QUEEN INTO THE CHURCH.

NO CAMERAS WERE ALLOWED INSIDE.

IT WAS ALL OVER IN A FLASH.

DAD THEN ESCORTED THE QUEEN BACKUP, WHERE A YOUNG MEMBER OF ST. PAUL'S GAVE HER A BOUQUET.

THEN, SHE AND PHILIP GOT BACK INTO THE LIMOUSINE.

THEY WAITED UNTIL SCOTTISH DANCERS FINISHED THEIR PERFORMANCE, AND THEY WERE OFF.

>> ENORMOUS PREPARATION WENT INTO THIS.

WE WANT THINGS TO GO RIGHT.

>> Reporter: THAT IS MY FATHER, AFTER THE SERVICE.

I WOULD DESCRIBE HIM AS HAPPY, AND DEEPLY RELIEVED AFTER WE HEARD CHANNEL TENS LEONARD VIA RIYAL ASKED IF HE WOULD EVER SPEAK PREDETERMINED TO THE QUEEN?

>> I HAD FANTASIZED ABOUT PREACHING AT ST. PAUL'S CATHEDRAL IN LONDON.

THAT NEVER HAPPENED, PROBABLY NEVER WILL, THAT THIS IS BETTER.

>> ELEMENTS THAT WERE IMPORTANT IN ANY GIVEN TIME ARE THE THINGS WE TRY TO RETAIN.

>> Reporter: JOHN WILL IS ST. PAUL ARCHIVIST.

HE HAS A SPECIAL AREA DEDICATED JUST TO THE QUEEN'S VISIT.

>> WE HAVE THE ACTUAL PRAYER SERVICE IN HERE, AS WELL AS A NUMBER OF PHOTOGRAPHS.

>> Reporter: THERE IS ANOTHER REMINDER OF THE QUEEN'S VISIT, FOUND INSIDE THE CHURCH.

>> WHERE THERE WERE ONCE PEWS, THERE ARE NOW CHAIRS.

MY FAMILY AND I SAT IN THIS ROW ON THAT DAY.

ONE VERY SPECIAL PEW REMAINS, THIS ONE, THE FACT IT IS DRAPED IN BLACK PROBABLY GIVE YOU A CLUE WHAT IT IS.

SURE ENOUGH, HERE IS A PLAQUE THAT COMMEMORATES THIS IS WHERE QUEEN ELIZABETH AND HER HUSBAND, PRINCE PHILIP, SAT ON THAT VERY SPECIAL DAY.

>> Reporter: BACK OUTSIDE, ANOTHER TANGIBLE REMINDER.

NOT LONG AFTER THAT DAY, THIS SPACE WAS RENAMED IN HONOR OF THE QUEEN'S VISIT.

IT IS NOW THE QUEEN'S COURTYARD.

AND HERE IS THE PLAQUE COMMEMORATING HER VISIT.

IT IS NOT JUST AT ST. PAUL'S WERE MEMORIES OF THE QUEEN ARE STRONG.

THEY ARE NEVER FAR OFF, HERE, IN MY FAMILY HOME, EITHER, WERE PICTURES OF DAD AND THE QUEEN HAVE BEEN UP IN THE HALLWAY LITERALLY FOR DECADES.

BUT THERE IS ONE MORE PICTURE I WANT TO SHOW YOU, IN THE LIVING ROOM.

HERE, ON THE PIANO.

WE GOT THIS A COUPLE MONTHS AFTER THE VISIT, A PERSONALLY SIGNED PICTURE BY THE QUEEN AND PRINCE PHILIP.

AN AMAZING WAY TO REMEMBER A TRULY AMAZING DAY.

JOHN CARROLL, KPBS NEWS.

>> WHAT A GREAT STORY FROM OUR OWN JOHN CARROLL.

KPBS TV WILL AIR LIVE BBC COVERAGE OF QUEEN ELIZABETH'S FUNERAL AND CEREMONIES, STARTING AT 12:25 A.M. ON MONDAY.

BUT THEN, THERE WILL BE AN ENCORE PRESENTATION BROADCAST ERRING ON KPBS 2 STARTING AT 9:00 A.M. >>> THIS IS INDEPENDENCE DAY FOR MILLIONS OF MEXICANS, CELEBRATING ON BOTH SIDES OF THE BORDER.

THE 16th OF SEPTEMBER MARKS THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE IN 1810, WHEN MEXICO ROSE UP AGAINST SPAIN'S COLONIAL RULE.

KPBS EDUCATION REPORTER M.G.

PEREZ TAKES US TO CHULA VISTA, WHERE STUDENTS CELEBRATED HISTORY.

>> JALISCO WAS ALREADY OUT -- FOR THE TWO OTHER PEOPLE -- >> Reporter: MAGDALENA CASTRO MAKE SURE EVERY SWIRL AND EVERY STOP IS MADE WITH INTENTION.

SHE LEADS THE LARGEST MEXICAN FOLK DANCE IN -- COUNTY.

THESE ARE HER MOST ADVANCED STUDENTS, AT CHULA VISTA HIGH SCHOOL, WHERE THEY ARE USING THEIR HEELS AND HERITAGE TO SHOW PRIDE ON THIS MEXICAN INDEPENDENCE DAY.

>> BEING MEXICAN AND AMERICAN IS SUCH A BEAUTIFUL THING, SOMETHING THEY CAN CELEBRATE HERE AS AN AMERICAN, THEY CAN CELEBRATE THEIR MEXICAN HERITAGE, TOO.

>> Reporter: MORE THAN 70% OF STUDENTS IN THE SWEETWATER UNION HIGH SCHOOL DISTRICT ARE LATINO.

SOME OF THEM MEXICAN, MOST OF THEM WITH EXTENDED FAMILIES ON BOTH SIDES OF THE INTERNATIONAL BORDER.

>> MEXICANS HAVE BEEN THROUGH A LOT.

THAT IS WHY I AM PROUD.

PROUD TO BE A MEXICAN.

>> Reporter: THIS CELEBRATION OF POLKAS AND FOLKLORIC DANCES IS ALSO PROVIDING LESSONS IN HISTORY.

EACH MOVE HAS A MESSAGE, AND A REMINDER OF THOSE NATIONS THAT TRIED TO HOLD MEXICANS CAPTIVE IN THEIR OWN COUNTRY.

>> A LOT OF THE LEASE REPRESENTS FRIENDSHIP.

A LOT OF THE STOPPING AND THE SHOES YOU SEE, THOSE ARE RUSSIAN AND POLKA INFLUENCES FROM EUROPE.

SO, EVERY PART OF THE COSTUME, EVERY MOVEMENT HAS AN INFLUENCE FROM SOMEWHERE.

>> Reporter: THERE IS MORE THAN JUST ARTISTIC EXPRESSION HAPPENING, HERE.

ROXANA ESPINOZA IS A SENIOR WHO HAS BIG PLANS AFTER GRADUATION.

THEY INCLUDE MORE DANCING, AND A CAREER IN CRIMINAL JUSTICE TO STOMP OUT THE INJUSTICE SO MANY PEOPLE OF COLOR CONTINUE TO EXPERIENCE IN THE U.S. >> PEOPLE THINK OF THEM AS DANGEROUS, AS LIKE, PEOPLE WHO ARE VERY RECKLESS.

BUT I THINK, ONCE YOU GET DOWN TO IT, WE ARE ALL HUMAN.

>> Reporter: THIS IS THE FIRST 16th OF SEPTEMBER MEXICAN INDEPENDENCE DAY CELEBRATION BACK ON CAMPUS AND IN PERSON FOLLOWING COVID AND A PANDEMIC OF SOCIAL INJUSTICE.

THERE IS A LESSON IN ALL THAT, TOO.

>> WE KNOW EDUCATION BUT WHAT HELPS TO THE FRONT RELATIONSHIP, THE SENSE OF BELONGING.

CELEBRATIONS LIKE TODAY HELP BRING THAT TO LIFE.

>> Reporter: INDEPENDENCE DAY IS ALWAYS MARKED WITH SOMETHING MEXICANS CALL -- THE SCREEN.

HERE IS WHY.

MG PEREZ, KPBS NEWS.

>>> WE HAVE A PRETTY POPULAR FORECAST AS WE MOVE THROUGH THE WEEKEND.

WE ARE GOING TO AVOID THE BIG- TIME HEAT, IN FACT, WITHIN A QUARTER OF AVERAGE SATURDAY, ABOUT FIVE DEGREES BELOW AVERAGE FOR THE COAST, A GOOD 10 DEGREES BELOW NORMAL FOR THE INLAND VALLEYS, AND -- DESERTS, EVEN SOME OF THE HIGH GROUND -- ONCE WE STEP AWAY FROM THE COASTLINE.

NO SIGNIFICANT -- IN VIEW.

THERE IS A STORY LINE WE WILL FOCUS ON INTO NEXT WEEK, AT LEAST ON A REGIONAL LEVEL.

BOOSTING THE IMPACTS TIED TO THIS NEXT PACIFIC STORM, THEY WILL STAY TO THE NORTH, BUT AT LEAST SOME IN CALIFORNIA, PLACES LIKE SAN FRANCISCO, WILL BENEFIT FROM THE RAIN.

THEY CAN USE IT.

67 TONIGHT, INCREASING CLOUDS.

THE MARINE LAYER OF CLOUD COVERAGE WILL BE PRETTY ROBUST THE NEXT FEW NIGHTS, AND WARNINGS WITH THIS CURRENT SET UP, A LITTLE BIT OF ONSHORE BREEZE -- MOUNTAIN CITY FIVE, W 51 IN THE CITY, 67.

A BEAUTIFUL NIGHT.

YOU CAN SEE, THERE IS THE WIDESPREAD LOW-LEVEL CLOUD COVER THAT WILL TAKE SOME TIME TO ERODE AWAY, AND WILL BE ONLY BE GONE FOR THE AFTERNOON BEFORE COMING RIGHT BACK IN THE EVENING, WITH THIS CURRENT SET UP, THAT MARINE LAYER OF CLOUD IS GOING TO BE PRETTY INFLUENTIAL AND PERSISTENT, EXCEPT FROM LUNCHTIME TO THE EVENING HOURS.

VERY WARM IN THE DESERTS, WAY TO THE EAST, BUT WE WILL PLAY IT MUCH COOLER IN THE NORTH, HERE, FOR OUR LOCAL DESERTS.

SATURDAY'S FORECASTERS BREEZY TO THE NORTH.

JUST A GORGEOUS DAY.

IF YOU'RE GOING TO BE OUT, ESPECIALLY IN LENGTH, TAKE THE SUNSCREEN, IT WILL BE IN THE UPPER 60s, A GOOD DAY FOR A HIKE.

HERE IS OUR PACIFIC STORY.

SUNDAY AND SUNDAY NIGHT, THIS WILL BRING SIGNIFICANT AND MEANINGFUL RAIN TO SAN FRANCISCO.

THEY CAN USE IT.

BUT YOU WILL NOTICE, IF YOU LOOK CLOSELY, THE BULK OF THE MOISTURE TIED TO THIS COULD BE A HINT OF SIERRA SNOW INTO THE CENTRAL PART OF CALIFORNIA.

COASTAL AREAS, JUST GORGEOUS WEATHER.

THERE IS A REASON WHY SAN DIEGO IS SUCH A POPULAR PLACE, WHETHER HAS A LOT TO DO WITH IT BUT THIS IS A PRIME EXAMPLE.

INLAND AREAS, 80, SATURDAY, UPPER 70s MOVING FORWARD.

THE MOUNTAINS, REALLY NICE WEATHER, IT WILL GET BREEZY TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY, BUT MID- 60s AFTER THE UPPER 60 THIS WEEKEND, AND EVEN THE DESERTS LOOK PRETTY COMFORTABLE, RELATIVELY SPEAKING, MID-90s, HEDGING DOWNWARD TO A HIGH OF ONLY 90 ON WEDNESDAY.

HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND, I AM METEOROLOGIST GEOFF CORNISH WITH KPBS NEWS.

>>> THE LOCAL HOUSING MARKET IS GOING THROUGH CHANGES AS INTEREST RATES ROSE TO 6%.

-- KOPEC GIVES HIS THOUGHTS ON HOW WHAT THIS MEANS FOR POTENTIAL HOMEBUYERS IN FRIDAY BUSINESS REPORT.

>> Reporter: THE INTEREST RATE, WHICH WERE 2.86% THIS TIME LAST YEAR, REALLY ARE HAVING AN IMPACT FOR NEW HOME LOANS, OR REFINANCES, WERE DOWN 83% IN THE LAST MONTH, BECAUSE THE REFINANCE MARKET HAS DRIED UP COMPLETELY.

VERY FEW PEOPLE ARE BUYING HOMES , WHERE IT WAS A SELLERS MARKET SINCE THE PANDEMIC.

YOU ARE SEEING THAT PULLBACK QUITE A BIT.

WE ARE SEEING DISCOUNTS IN ABOUT 1/3 TO 1/2 OF HOMES IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA.

AND MORE BUYERS ARE WALKING AWAY FROM DEALS.

SO, IN THE MONTH OF JULY, 16% OF ALL HOME DEALS, THE BUYER WALKED AWAY.

IS THIS PORTENDING A COLLAPSE?

ABSOLUTELY NOT.

WHAT WE EXPECT TO SEE IS A CONTINUED KIND OF -- IN TERMS OF HOME PRICES, AND DECLINES IN DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE COUNTY, BUT WE WILL NOT SEE A COLLAPSE OF THE HOME MARKET LIKE WE SAW IN THE GREAT RECESSION OF 2008, WHEN REAL ESTATE VALUES DROPPED LIKE A ROCK.

I THINK IT IS A GREAT THING FOR THE PLAYERS, BECAUSE THE SAN DIEGO COMMUNITY IS SHOWING LOVE.

>> Reporter: THE WAVE ARE IN A TIGHT RACE FOR THE PLAYOFFS, CURRENTLY THIRD IN THE STANDINGS.

THERE ARE 12 TOTAL TEAMS IN THE NWL SOUTH, BUT EVEN ONLY THE TOP SIX TEAMS WILL EARN PLAYOFF SPOTS.

>>> AN EXTREMELY RARE SIDING OFF OUR COAST, THREE FRIENDS OUT FISHING ON SUNDAY TOOK THIS VIDEO OF TWO MEGA MOUTH SHARKS.

THE MEGA MOUTH LIVE IN DEEP WATER AND ARE MOST OFTEN CAUGHT IN FISHING NETS.

SO, TO SEE THEM SWIMMING IS EVEN LESS COMMON.

FEWER THAN 100 SIGHTINGS HAVE BEEN DOCUMENTED SINCE THE SHARKS WERE DISCOVERED IN 1976.

RESEARCHERS AT SCRIPPS INSTITUTION OF OCEANOGRAPHY ARE STUDYING VIDEO OF THE SIGHTING.

>>> SPEAK NO EVIL PREMIERED AT VIRTUAL SUNDANCE EARLIER THIS YEAR, AND SO IMPRESSED, KPBS CINEMA JUNKIE -- THAT SHE ASKED DIGITAL JIM CINEMA TO PLAY THE FILM.

SHE EXPLAINED WHY THE SLOWBURN DANISH HORROR FILM WON HER OVER, AND WHY IT NEEDS TO BE SEEN IN A THEATER.

>> Reporter: WHEN I FALL IN LOVE WITH A MOVIE, I DO NOT WANT TO JUST REVIEW IT, I WANT TO ADVOCATE FOR IT.

THAT IS HOW I FELT WHEN I SAW SPEAK NO EVIL ON VIRTUAL SUNDANCE.

I ADORE FILMMAKERS WHO CAN SURPRISE ME AND DELIVER SOMETHING SO ANXIETY INDUCING AND YET SO ELEGANTLY CRAFTED THAT I CANNOT TAKE MY EYES OFF THE SCREEN.

THE IDEA FOR SPEAK NO EVIL BEGAN INNOCENTLY ENOUGH, WITH A TRIP THAT FILMMAKER CHRISTIAN TETRA TOOK WITH HIS WIFE.

>> WE MET THE DUTCH COUPLE IN ITALY IN 2016.

AND IMMEDIATELY BECAME FRIENDS.

THEY WERE SO NICE, BUT ALSO A LITTLE BIT CREEPY, AND I COULD NOT TELL, ARE THEY REALLY WHAT THEY SAY THEY ARE?

THEN, THEY INVITED US TO SEE THEM, AND I SAID NO.

>> WE WOULD LOVE TO INVITE YOU TO COME VISIT US.

WHAT DO YOU SAY?

>> THE REAL HORROR FOR ME IS NOT GHOSTS OR ALIENS FROM OUTER SPACE, IT IS BEING WITH OTHER PEOPLE.

IT IS LIKE SOMETHING THAT IS NOT SAID, SOMETHING VERY SUBTLE.

BECAUSE WE HAVE THIS SITUATION, WHAT HAPPENS WHEN WE ARE AMONG STRANGERS?

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN WE ARE GUESTS?

THERE IS SO MUCH TENSION IN THAT.

>> Reporter: TAFDRUP IS A MASTER OF BUILDING TENSION FOR THE AUDIENCE.

>> YOU HAVE TO GUIDE YOUR AUDIENCE A LITTLE BIT.

YOU HAVE TO GIVE THEM A HINT THAT WE ARE GOING TO A BAD PLACE TOGETHER, WE DO NOT KNOW WHERE YET, BUT IT IS GOING TO COME.

>> Reporter: INDEED, IT WILL.

TAFDRUP LOVE TORMENTING US WITH THAT POSSIBILITY.

EVEN A SCENE WHERE THE HOST OFFERS ME TO HIS VEGETARIAN GUESTS IS FULL OF FOREBODING.

>> I INSIST.

>> IT IS NOT JUST ABOUT SOMEBODY EATING MEAT, OR VEGETARIANISM, THERE IS MUCH MORE AT STAKE.

SO, WE WORKED A LOT OF WHAT IS BETWEEN THE WORDS, HOW DO WE GET A FEEL ABOUT SOMETHING DEVILISH UNDERNEATH EVERYTHING?
