>>>GOOD EVENING AND THANK YOU FOR JOINING US.

I AM MAYA TRABULSI AND WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF RAMADAN, THE HOLIEST MONTH IN THE MUSLIM WORLD BUT AS ALEXANDER SHOWS US, THE WAR IN THE MIDDLE EAST IS CASTING A SHADOW OVER THE MONTH OF PRAYERS AND REFLECTION.

>> WE HAVE NEVER EXPECTED THAT -- TO SEE ANOTHER WAR.

>> Reporter: AT THE END OF THE PARTY SERVICE, THE A MOM ADDRESSED THE WAR IN THE MIDDLE EAST WHICH STARTED LAST FRIDAY IN THE MIDDLE OF RAMADAN.

AND IT IS WEIGHING ON THE MINDS OF MANY WORSHIPERS AT THE ISLAMIC CENTER OF SAN DIEGO.

>> IT IS UNFORTUNATE, IT IS VERY DIFFICULT FOR ALL OF US RIGHT NOW.

>> Reporter: HE HAS FAMILY IN THE MIDDLE EAST AND DOES NOT KNOW HOW THE WORK WILL AFFECT THEM.

>> WE FEEL SO DEEPLY HURT BY THEIR SITUATION.

AND THE GENOCIDE THAT IS HAPPENING.

REPORTEDLY HE CALLS THE WAR ILLEGAL AND SAYS THE COMMUNITY IS HURTING.

>> IT IS REALLY DISTURBING, YOU KNOW?

IN THE TIME WE ARE SUPPOSED TO ENGAGE MORE IN REFLECTION AND WORSHIP, ALL THAT STUFF, AND THEN, WAKING UP EVERY MORNING, WATCHING THE NEWS ABOUT THE WAR TAKING PLACE OVER THERE, THIS IS SOMETHING NO ONE WAS EXPECTING.

>> Reporter: RAMADAN IS A TIME FOR PRAYERS AND REFLECTION, AT THE END OF RAMADAN IS A CELEBRATORY FESTIVAL, SOME OF THE CONGREGANTS TELL ME THEY DO NOT FEEL LIKE CELEBRATING THIS YEAR.

>> IT IS NOT SOMETHING THAT SITS WELL WITH YOU.

YOU WANT TO HAVE EVERYBODY HAVING HARMONY AND PEACE, FOR THEM TO HAVE A WAR, IT IS DISHEARTENING.

>> Reporter: DURING THE LAST 10 DAYS OF RAMADAN, MUSLIMS PRAY FOR MERCY AND FORGIVENESS.

BUT MERCY AND FORGIVENESS ARE NOT ON THE MIND OF PRESIDENT TRUMP AS HE APPEARS TO ALLOW TALKS WITH IRAN WITHOUT AN UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER AND AS THE WAR ENTERS THE SEVENTH DAY , ISRAEL IS TARGETING IRAN IN LEBANON .

HE SAYS THE ONLY THING ANYONE CAN DO RIGHT NOW IS PRAY.

ALEXANDER NGUYEN, KPBS NEWS.

>> RECENT CARTEL VIOLENCE IN MEXICO HAS RATTLED LOCALS AND TOURISTS DURING PEAK TRAVEL SEASON.

NOW, WITH SPRING BREAK AROUND THE CORNER AND THE 2026 WORLD CUP, MANY ARE WONDERING IF IT IS SAFE TO TRAVEL THERE.

WE HAVE THE LATEST ON WHAT TRAVELER SHOULD KNOW.

>> IT CAUTIONED SPRING BREAK TRAVELERS AT THE RISK OF CRIMES AND KIDNAPPINGS REMAIN.

>> THERE ARE PLACES WITHIN MEXICO SAY FORD TAURUS TO GO.

>> Reporter: DANIEL RICHARDS HEADING -- SAYS TRAVELERS SHOULD DO THEIR PART TO STAY SAFE.

YOU MAY BE AWARE OF YOUR SURROUNDINGS AND DO NOT GET INTO A CAR OR A RANDOM TAXI, OR DO THINGS THAT MAY MAKE YOU THE TARGET OF AN OPPORTUNITY.

>> Reporter: TRAVEL EXPERTS SAY IT IS A GOOD IDEA TO PROTECT.

>> I BOOK MY TRAVEL WITH A CREDIT CARD THAT OFFERS AAA AND CANCELLATION PROTECTION, THAT WILL NOT COVER YOU IN HUGE POLITICAL EVENTS, BUT IT WILL COVER YOU IF YOU ARE CAUGHT UP IN A STORM AND STUCK IN AN AIRPORT FOR A FEW DAYS AND NOT TO PURCHASE A HOTEL AND MEALS, AND AN UBER.

>> Reporter: WITH 100 DAYS UNTIL THE WORLD CUP, MEXICO SAYS IT IS READY TO WELCOME THE CROWDS, BEEFING UP SECURITY BEFORE THE BIG EVENT.

>> THE WIND IS PICKING UP AND A VERY GUSTY BREEZE TO THE WEEKEND, SANTA ANA WIND EVENT STEPPING IN.

ON THE SIDE OF THE WET SEASON, WE HAVE THE BENEFIT OF RECENT MOISTURE IN THE PLANTS AND VEGETATION.

THAT WILL MITIGATE SOME OF THE FIRE RISK COMPARED TO THE SAME EVENT IN THE MONTH OF OCTOBER.

WE ARE IN BETTER SHAPE THAN THE FALL OF IT BUT IT WILL BE WINDY AND COULD BE SOME SPOTTY POWER OUTAGES WITH WIND ADVISORIES IN PART OF SAN DIEGO COUNTY UNTIL 5:00 P.M.

SUNDAY.

>>> A LAST-MINUTE SWITCH IN THE RACES FOR TWO CONGRESSIONAL SEATS IN THE NORTH COUNTY SUPERVISOR HAS WITHDRAWN FOR THE 49th DISTRICT CURRENTLY HELD BY A DEMOCRAT AND PULL PAPERS TO RUN IN THE NEARBY 48 CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT, THAT IT IS HELD BY FELLOW PUBLICAN DARRELL ISOM, -- ISSA.

ISSA HAS PULL PAPERS BUT HAD NOT FILED THEM AS OF LAST NIGHT'S UPDATE FOR THE REGISTRAR OF VOTERS AND THE DEADLINE WAS 5:00 P.M.

TODAY.

WE REACHED OUT TO THE CAMPAIGNS FOR COMMENT BUT NEITHER HAS RESPONDED.

♪ >>> THE FEDERAL SECTION 8 PROGRAM HELPS ELIGIBLE RESIDENTS PAY THEIR RENT, BUT WAIT LISTS ARE CLOSING AROUND THE COUNTY.

KATIE FUTTERMAN HAS THE STORY.

>> Reporter: NEARLY EVERY HOUSING AUTHORITY IN CITIGO HAS STOPPED PLACING PEOPLE ON THE SECTION 8 WAITLIST INTO HOMES OR CLOSE THE LIST ALTOGETHER.

EVEN THOUGH STILL ACCEPTING NEW APPLICANTS SAY THEY DO NOT KNOW HOW MUCH LONGER THAT WILL HAPPEN .

SECTION 8 HELPS LOW INCOME FAMILIES, OLDER ADULTS, AND PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES ACCESS AFFORDABLE HOUSING IN MOST CITIES COUNTYWIDE.

BOTH THE COUNTY AND CITY OF SAN DIEGO CLOSED THEIR WAITLIST IN FEBRUARY AND OVER 120,000 PEOPLE ARE ON THE COUNTY'S LIST AND 27 OF THEM WERE ADDED IN THE LAST TWO YEARS.

NO ONE IS EXPECTED TO MOVE FROM THE LIST INTO AFFORDABLE HOUSING FOR YEARS.

NATIONAL CITY AND ENCINITAS STOPPED TAKING PEOPLE FROM THE LIST AND CARLSBAD CLOSED ITS LIST YEARS AGO BECAUSE FEDERAL FUNDING FOR SECTION 8 HAS NOT KEPT UP WITH RISING RENT.

HERE IS KIM JOHNSON FROM THE NATIONAL LOW INCOME HOUSING COALITION.

>> PUBLIC HOUSING AUTHORITIES ARE DRAWING DOWN THE FUNDING MORE QUICKLY, BECAUSE OF THAT INCREASE IN FUNDING TO TRY TO KEEP UP WITH CURRENT WAITLISTED HOUSEHOLD.

>> Reporter: OCEANSIDE WAITLIST IS OPEN BUT OFFICIAL SAYS HE IS NOT SURE HOW MUCH LONGER THAT WILL LAST.

>>> IT IS NOT SNOWING AS MUCH AS IT USED TO IN COLORADO AND UTAH AND THE ROCKY MOUNTAINS THAT FEED THE COLORADO RIVER ARE IN SEVERE DROUGHT IN THIS WEEK' WHY IT MATTERS, WE EXPLAINED HOW SAN DIEGO IS PREPARING TO HELP OTHER WESTERN REGIONS OF.

>> Reporter: THE COLORADO RIVER FEED LAKE MEAD NEAR LAS VEGAS AND THAT IS WHERE SAN DIEGO COUNTY GETS MUCH OF OUR WATER .

LAKE MEAD IS ONLY A 34% CAPACITY HIGHER UP THE RIVER THE LAKE HOWELL RESERVOIR IS EVEN WORSE SHAPE, IT IS SO LOW THAT THE POWER PLANT THAT GENERATES ELECTRICITY FROM THE GLEN CANYON DAM MAY NOT BE ABLE TO WORK.

NEGOTIATORS FROM CALIFORNIA AND NEVADA, ARIZONA, UTAH, COLORADO ARE SUPPOSED TO BE MAKING A DEAL ABOUT HOW TO KEEP THESE RESERVOIRS FROM GOING DOWN TO LOW.

BUT THEY CANNOT AGREE ON ONE.

IF THEY DO NOTHING, ARIZONA COULD BE IN BIG TROUBLE.

THE STATE HAS THE LOWEST CLAIM ON THE COLORADO RIVER WATER.

ODDLY IN SAN DIEGO, WE HAVE TOO MUCH WATER.

SAN DIEGO BUILT AN EXPENSIVE WATER DESALINATION PLANT AND WE PURCHASE WATER FROM FARMERS IN IMPERIAL VALLEY.

WHERE ARIZONA HAS THE LOWEST CLAIM TO THE COLORADO RIVER WATER, THE IMPERIAL VALLEY HAS THE BEST CLAIM.

SAN DIEGO COUNTY WATER AUTHORITY BOUGHT SOME OF THAT.

ALL THAT HAS BEEN VERY EXPENSIVE FOR SAN DIEGO AND THAT IS WHY WE PAY THE HIGHEST WATER RATES IN THE COUNTRY.

NOW THE WATER AUTHORITY WANTS TO SELL.

JUST RECENTLY, THE WATER AUTHORITY TOOK MAJOR STEPS TO DO THAT.

THE AGENCY IS IN NEGOTIATIONS RIGHT NOW TO STILLWATER TO FOUR AGENCIES IN THE LOS ANGELES AND RIVERSIDE AREAS.

EVEN BIGGER, THE WATER AUTHORITY HAS SIGNED A MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING WITH THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AND MAY SOON ALLOW IT TO SELL WATER TO ARIZONA OR NEVADA.

A LOT WOULD HAVE TO HAPPEN FOR US TO GET TO THE POINT OF SELLING WATER TO ARIZONA.

THIS IS STARTING TO HAPPEN TO LOCAL WATER LEADERS ARE ONLY WILLING TO SAY THAT THIS MAY MAKE SOME OF OUR FUTURE WATER RATE INCREASES LOWER THAN THEY MAY OTHERWISE BE.

BUT THE DECISIONS OF THE FUTURE MAYBE MORE INTERESTING THAN ABOUT HOW MUCH MONEY WE CAN SAVE .

WITH THE WESTERN UNITED STATES ESSENTIALLY DRYING UP, HOW MUCH OF OUR CLAIM TO THE WATER DO WE REALLY WANT TO SELL?

I AM SCHOLAR WAS FOR VOICE SAN DIEGO AND THAT IS WHY IT MATTERS.

>>> PUBLIC THAT IS IS A PARTNERSHIP WITH KPBS , AND VOICE OF SAN DIEGO, YOU CAN SEE MORE THE STORIES AT KPBS.ORG .

>> WE KNOW THE LABOR MARKET HAS STALLED .

WE ARE IN A SITUATION WHERE IT IS ACROSS ALL SECTORS AND WE ARE NOT SEEING JOBS BEING ADDED.

>> Reporter: THE U.S.

ECONOMY LOST 92,000 JOBS DURING FEBRUARY ACCORDING TO THE LABOR DEPARTMENT AND ECONOMIST EXPECTED SOME GROWTH.

THE UNEMPLOYMENT RATE WENT UP TO 4.4% AND THE HEALTHCARE SECTOR, WHICH IS THE RECENT OVERALL JOB GROWTH, LOST 20,000 JOBS IN FEBRUARY AND MUCH OF THAT ATTRIBUTABLE TO A NURSES STRIKE IN CALIFORNIA AND HAWAII WHICH IS EXPECTED TO REVERSE IN MARCH.

LEISURE AND HOSPITALITY SHED 27,000 JOBS AND MANUFACTURING LOST 12,000, CONSTRUCTION LOST 11,000.

>> THE NUMBERS REFLECT WHAT I'M HEARING FROM PEOPLE AT HOME, THE ECONOMY IS NOT WORKING FOR THEM.

>> Reporter: RAPIDLY RISING OIL AND GAS PRICES RIPPING PRESSURE ON BUSINESSES AND CONSUMERS.

>> THE NATURE OF GAS PRICES IS INTERESTING, AS OIL PRICES RISE, THOSE INCREASES FALL TO CONSUMERS IMMEDIATELY.

REPORT CRUDE OIL PRICES CONTINUE TO CLIMB FRIDAY AND THAT THE IRAN CONFLICT AND GAS PRICES HAVE REACHED THEIR HIGHEST AVERAGE LEVELS OF EITHER OF DONALD TRUMP UPON HIS PRESIDENTIAL TERMS.

JOBSEEKERS TOLD US THAT THEY APPRECIATE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO APPLY IN PERSON.

THEY SAY THEY ARE BEING IGNORED , NOT ABLE TO GET ME TO GET WITH THE OWNERS OF THE PROPERTY, WHERE THEIR HOME SAT ON, WE HAVE A REPORT FROM LOS ANGELES.

>> Reporter: THIS PIECE OF PARADISE ON THE COAST OF THE PALISADES IS AT THE CENTER OF AN ALL-OUT PROPERTY BATTLE.

JOHN BROWN OWNED HOMES IN THIS MOBILE HOME PARK FOR ABOUT A DECADE.

>> YOU GO STRAIGHT INTO THAT TALL TREE.

>> Reporter: THIS IS WHAT JOHN'S HOME LOOK LIKE BEFORE THE PALISADES FIRE AND THIS IS THE EMPTY LOT THAT IS LEFT, HE IS ONE OF OVER 300 LEFT DISPLACED FOR MORE THAN A YEAR.

THEY SAY THE PROPERTY OWNERS BYPASSED PEOPLE WHO OWN HOMES AND ARE NOW TRYING TO REDEVELOP THE LAND.

>> Reporter: PRESIDENT FOR A YEAR BY COOPERATING WITH PROPERTY OWNERS AND FORMING A NONPROFIT AND WORKING WITH THE CITY AND COUNTY TO PROTECT THE STATUS AND SAYS THIS CANNOT BE REZONED FOR COMMERCIAL USE.

>> WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE MOBILE HOME RESIDENCY LAW, IT IS PRETTY SPECIFIC ON HOW YOU CAN TERMINATE A TENANCY AND A WILDFIRE OR DESTRUCTION OF THE PARK IS NOT ONE OF THEM.

>> WE ARE BEGGING THEM TO TALK TO US, TRACY PARKES HAS SAID TO TALK TO US.

>> Reporter: THE MAYOR SAYS PEOPLE HAVE BEEN RETRAUMATIZED BY THE BATTLE AND SHE SUPPORTS EVERY PERSON RETURNING HOME.

THE SUPERVISOR SAYS THERE ARE STATE AND LOCAL LAWS PROTECTING RESIDENTS OF THE PALACE SITES TO RETURN TO THEIR HOME SAYING SHE WILL USE EVERY TOOL TO HELP PROTECT THAT RIGHT.

>> WE NEED ALL THESE AGENCIES TO APPLY MORE PRESSURE TO THE OWNERS AND SAY, YOU'RE NOT GOING TO GET THIS CHANGE OF USE, THIS WILL NOT BE A MARRIOTT HOTEL.

WHY DON'T WE GET HUMBLED AND FACE REALITY AND WHY DON'T YOU WORK WITH US?

>> Reporter: THE HOMEOWNERS FIGHTING TO RETURN HERE THERE ONLY NEXT STEP IS TAKING THE OWNERS TO COURT.

>> THAT IS THE ONLY THING I CAN THINK OF TO MAKE THEM COME TO THE TABLE AND START TALKING.
