AND BY THE FOLLOWING.

AND BY VIEWERS LIKE YOU.

THANK YOU.

IT COULD BE A WHILE LONGER BEFORE WE LEARN WHAT SPARKED THE FIRE ON THE OCEANSIDE PIER, BUT THERE ARE NEW CLUES.

INVESTIGATORS CONTINUED WORKING TO THE WEEKEND, FOR NOW, PUBLIC ACCESS REMAINS CLOSED.

THE FIRE BROKE OUT THURSDAY AFTERNOON AND BURN THROUGH FRIDAY.

FIREFIGHTERS BROKE THROUGH THE KEY HERE, CREATING A TRENCH THAT STOPPED THE FIRE FROM SPREADING, AND SAVED 90% OF THE PEER.

OCEANSIDE FIRE CHIEF DAVID PARSONS GAVE A BRIEFING ON THE INVESTIGATION THIS AFTERNOON.>> WE IDENTIFIED THE AREA OF ORIGIN TO BE THE NORTHWEST CORNER, OUTSIDE THE BUILDING.

NO EVIDENCE OF INCENDIARY OR INTENTIONAL ACT WAS FOUND.

WE DID HAVE AN ACCELERANT DETECTION K-9, OPERATED BY SAN DIEGO FIRE AND RESCUE.

THAT K-9 FOUND ZERO HITS AND ZERO INTEREST.

IT LEAVES US WITH ACCIDENTAL CAUSES AS THE MOST LIKELY EXPLANATION.>> A FULL REPORT WITH MORE INFORMATION IS EXPECTED TO BE RELEASED IN THE COMING WEEKS.

THE CITY IS EXPECTED TO DECLARE A LOCAL STATE OF EMERGENCY TO APPLY FOR FEDERAL ASSISTANCE IN THE REBUILDING OF THE PEER.

OUR KPBS NORTH COUNTY REPORTER HAS MORE.>> THE OCEANSIDE FIRE DEPARTMENT GAVE THEIR FINAL MEDIA BRIEFING ON THE DAMAGE CAUSED TO THIS PEER.

THEY ARE SAYING 90 TO 95% OF THE PEER WAS SAVED DUE TO THEIR EFFORTS, WITH THE MAJORITY OF THE DAMAGE BEING AT THE VERY END OF THE YEAR.

THOSE BUILDINGS WERE A COMPLETE LOSS.

WHAT WASN'T LAST YEAR WAS THE PEER, WHICH MANY DESCRIBED AS THE HEART AND SOUL OF THE CITY, WE TALKED TO COMMUNITY MEMBERS EARLIER TODAY.>> THE OCEANSIDE PIER IS OFF-LIMITS AFTER LAST WEEK'S FIRE.

FOR MANY COMMUNITY MEMBERS, THAT IS A CHANGE TO THE ROUTINE.>> MY DAD COMES DOWN AND PICKS ROSES FROM HIS GARDEN, AND BRINGS THEM AND JUST SPEND SOME TIME.

>> LYNETTE AND HER DAD USE THE PEER AS A WAY TO BE CLOSER TO HER MOM, WHO DIED SIX YEARS AGO.

THEY SCATTERED HER ASHES IN THE OCEAN.>> HE SAID THIS IS GOING TO CHANGE EVERYTHING.>> NOW THEY STAY AT THE TOP OF THE PEERS ENTRANCE.>> WE ARE JUST SAD WE CAN'T DO THE SAME MEMORIES.>> FOR OTHERS, THERE ARE JUST THE MEMORIES OF WHAT USED TO BE.>> 50s BIRTHDAY PARTIES WITH MY DAUGHTERS, MY SON HAS A PIECE UP HERE, HE CLIMBED UP THERE AND STOLE ONE OF THOSE OWLS, HE STILL HAS IT.>> SHE SAYS SHE'S GRATEFUL FIRST RESPONDERS SAVED THE MAJORITY OF THE PEER.

NOW SHE LOOKS FORWARD TO A NEW PAGE IN THE HISTORY OF THE OCEANSIDE PIER.

THEY HOPE TO GET THE PEER REOPENED 75% OF THE WAY TO THE PUBLIC.

THEY HOPE TO DO IT SOONER RATHER THAN LATER, MAYBE EVEN BEFORE MEMORIAL DAY.

>>> WE ARE GOING TO CONTINUE TO SEE SOME MORNING CLOUDINESS AT THE IMMEDIATE COASTLINE.

LATER IN THE WEEK, A LITTLE MORE OFFSHORE.

WE WILL SEE LESS CLOUDINESS AND EVEN MORE SUNSHINE.

FOR MOST, IT WILL BE A DRY TO WARM STRETCH OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS.

WE ARE GOING TO LAY OUT ALL THE DETAILS COMING UP IN JUST A LITTLE BIT.>>> THE FATE OF MANY GRADUATION CEREMONIES IS AT STAKE AS PRO-PALESTINIAN PROTESTS CONTINUE.

SOME SCHOOLS ARE THREATENING TO ESCALATE EFFORTS TO SHUT DEMONSTRATIONS DOWN.>> CHAOS OPTING IN AUSTIN AS POLICE MOVED IN TO MAKE ARRESTS AND FORCIBLY DISMANTLE A PROTESTING CABINET.

A SIMILAR SCENE IS UNFOLDING AT COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY, WHERE STUDENTS ARE ENCIRCLING AND ENCAMPMENT, STANDING FIRM PAST THE DEADLINE TO MOVE THE TENTS OR FACE DISCIPLINARY ACTION.

THE SCHOOL'S PRESIDENT WAS LOOKING AT OPTIONS, WITHOUT REVEALING WHAT THOSE OPTIONS WERE.

>> WE FEEL THE NEED TO CONTINUE TO PROTEST.

>> WE NEED DIVERSITIES TO REASSERT CONTROL OVER THEIR CAMPUSES.

>> 21 HOUSE DEMOCRATS SENT A LETTER DEMANDING AND ENDS TO THE ENCAMPMENTS, OR THAT THEY STEP DOWN.>> THE REAL PROBLEM IS THAT THE ADMINISTRATION.>> THEY ARE HOLDING A NO- CONFIDENCE VOTE ON MONDAY FOR THE PRESENT TO RESIGN OVER HIS HANDLING OF THE DEMONSTRATIONS.

WE'VE SEEN CRACKDOWNS AT VIRGINIA TECH, GEORGE WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY, UCLA AND USC.

GRADUATION HAS ALREADY BEEN CANCELED OVER SAFETY CONCERNS.

COMMENCEMENT DATES AND CABINET STANDOFFS COLLIDE.

>> THE WHITE HOUSE DECLINED TO SAY IF THEY BELIEVE ILLUSTRATORS SHOULD FACE DISCIPLINARY ACTIONS, IT DID REITERATE THE PRESIDENT SUPPORT FOR THE RIGHT TO PEACEFULLY PROTEST, WHILE CRITICIZING ANTI- SEMITIC RHETORIC AND CALLS FOR VIOLENCE.>>> FIRST RESPONDERS BASE CONSTANT STRESS AND RISK ON THE JOB.

NEWLY 70% REPORT NOT ENOUGH RECOVERY TIME BETWEEN TRAUMATIC CALLS.

HEIDI TELLS US ABOUT A NEW SUPPORT PROGRAM.>> DESPITE EXTENSIVE TRAINING, FIRST RESPONDERS ARE NEVER FULLY PREPARED FOR THE TRIMER THEY ENCOUNTER.

THEY OFTEN RESPOND TO THE WORST DAYS OF PEOPLE'S LIVES, ACCIDENTS, DEATHS, FIRES, AND OTHER TRAGIC EVENTS.

WHITNEY HAS BEEN A PARAMEDIC FOR SEVEN YEARS.

EVERY TIME SHE RUSHES TO AN EMERGENCY WITH SIRENS BLARING, SHE IS RISKING HER OWN MENTAL HEALTH.>> SOMEBODY I RESPONDED TO COMMITTED SUICIDE, THAT ONE HAS KIND OF STUCK WITH ME, THAT PARTICULAR PERSON WAS AROUND A SIMILAR AGE THAT I WAS AT THE TIME, AND THAT STUCK WITH ME AND AFFECTED ME.

I KNOW FOR SOME OF MY COWORKERS, CALLS INVOLVING PEDIATRICS CAN BE ESPECIALLY DIFFICULT.>> RESEARCH SHOWS THAT FIRST RESPONDERS EXPERIENCE FEELINGS OF DEPRESSION, JOB BURNOUT, TROUBLED RELATIONSHIPS, AND USE SUBSTANCES.

THEY ARE SIGNIFICANTLY MORE LIKELY TO DIE BY SUICIDE THAN THE GENERAL PUBLIC, BUT THEY OFTEN FEEL HESITANT ABOUT SEEKING HELP, BECAUSE THEY WORRY IT MIGHT MAKE THEM SEEM LESS CAPABLE OF THEIR JOBS.

>> I DEALT WITH IT ON MY OWN, I DIDN'T REALLY REACH OUT TO ANYBODY, IT WAS SOMETHING I INTERNALIZED AND THOUGHT ABOUT FOR A LITTLE BIT AND THEN AFTER TIME, WAS ABLE TO MOVE ON FROM.>> ANOTHER CHALLENGE IS THE SCARCITY OF MENTAL HEALTH RESOURCES TAILORED TO EMERGENCY RESPONSE WORKERS.

THEY OFTEN END UP SEEING GENERAL PRACTITIONERS WHO MIGHT NOT FULLY UNDERSTAND WHAT THEY GO THROUGH ON THE JOB.

A NEW PROGRAM AIMS TO TACKLE THESE CHALLENGES BY OFFERING PSYCHOLOGICAL CRISIS INTERVENTION TRAINING TO PARAMEDICS, EMTS, AND DISPATCHERS.

THE GOAL IS FOR THE PARTICIPANTS TO LEARN HOW TO SUPPORT EACH OTHER.>> WE GAVE THEM A VERY SOLID BASE OF HOW TO TALK TO INDIVIDUALS ON A PERSONAL BASIS, AS WELL AS DEEP REEFS.

REALLY HITTING AT ALL DIFFERENT ASPECTS OF WHAT A PEER SUPPORTER MIGHT RESPOND TO.

>> IT'S THE FIRST OF ITS KIND IN THE COUNTRY, BECAUSE IT COMBINES A MENTAL HEALTH CONFESSIONAL WITH FIRST-HAND EXPERIENCE IN EMERGENCY RESPONSE.

SHE HOPES THE TRAINING WILL MAKE DISCUSSIONS ABOUT TRAUMA AND TRIGGERS EASIER.

>> REPAIRS COULD TAKE LONGER THAN NAVY OFFICIALS ANTICIPATED.

ANDREW DYER HAS THE LATEST.

>> AFTER INITIAL ESTIMATES OF TWO OR THREE WEEKS, NAVY OFFICIALS ARE NOT SAYING WHEN THEY EXPECT THE RESUMPTION OF THE LONG-DELAYED EMPLOYMENT, THIS COMES AFTER REPORTS THAT THE NAVY WAS CONSIDERING SENDING THE BOXER NORTH TO PORTLAND, OREGON.

THE SHIP HAS SEEN YEARS OF DELAYS, STEMMING FROM AN OVERHAUL AND UPGRADE THAT BEGAN IN 2020.

UP TO 2000 MARINES LEFT APRIL 1 FOR DEPLOYMENT.

10 DAYS LATER, THEY HAD TO TURN AROUND AND COME HOME.

OVER MY LEFT SHOULDER, YOU CAN SEE THE BOXER IS STILL AT ITS NAVAL BASE IN SAN DIEGO.

THE NAVY HASN'T QUITE DECIDED WHETHER TO REPAIR THE SHIP AT DRY DOCK OR PIER SIDE, BUT THAT DECISION IS EXPECTED THIS WEEK.>>> CARLSBAD WANTS TO ADD A SOLAR FARM ON CITY-OWNED LAND AT ITS RESERVOIR.

THE PROJECT IS IN THE BEGINNING STAGES, BUT COULD NEW REVENUE FOR THE CITY WATER DISTRICT.>> THEY PROVIDE SHADE FOR THE PARKING LOT, AND TO MEET CLIMATE GOALS.

JASON IS THE INTERGOVERNMENTAL AFFAIRS DIRECTOR FOR THE CITY OF CARLSBAD.>> WE ARE THE ONLY CITY TO HAVE CERTIFIED HABITAT MANAGEMENT PLANS, IT'S PART OF THE CITY'S OVERALL EFFORT TO INCREASE SUSTAINABILITY AND PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT, AND NATURAL RESOURCES.

THE CITY HAS TRANSITIONED NEWLY 100 VEHICLES TO HYBRID AND ELECTRIC.

CARLSBAD AIMS TO HAVE A 100% RENEWABLE ENERGY SUPPLY BY 25.

THE CITY IS LOOKING TO BUILD A RESERVOIR ON THE EASTERN END OF THE CITY AS PART OF A FIVE-YEAR PLAN FOR ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY.

THE CITY COUNCIL APPROVED A FEASIBILITY STUDY.>> GIVEN THE LAND THAT IS AVAILABLE, WE ARE TALKING ABOUT A 30 ACRE PARCEL WE THINK IS AVAILABLE FOR SOLAR AND BATTERY STORAGE.

COULD ACCOMMODATE SIX TO EIGHT SIX TO 8 MW OF SOLAR CAPACITY.>> ENOUGH TO POWER 10,000 HOMES.

THE ENERGY SAVINGS COULD OFFSET WATERWORKS FOR RESIDENTS.

OVER THE LIFETIME OF THE PROJECT, IT COULD SAVE THE CITY MILLIONS.

HE HOPES TO HAVE A CONSULTANT IN PLACE BY THE END OF THE YEAR, TO HELP THE CITY WITH A FEASIBILITY ASSESSMENT.>>> THE SAN DIEGO COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS CHAIRWOMAN WON'T BE ABLE TO SPEAK IN PUBLIC FOR SEVERAL WEEKS.

>>> THE DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY IS CREATING A PANEL ON ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE SAFETY WITH CEOS FROM THE WORLD'S LARGEST COMPANIES.

MICHAEL EXPLAINS HOW THE GOVERNMENT HOPES TO PREVENT POTENTIAL DISASTERS.

>> WHEN IT COMES TO ASSESSING THE THREATS OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE, EXPERTS SAY THE TRICK IS TO SORT SCIENCE FICTION FROM POTENTIAL REALITY.>> THE MORE IMMEDIATE RISKS ARE THESE TOOLS BEING USED TO CRAFT CYBER ATTACKS OR POWER INFORMATION CAMPAIGNS.

>> THAT'S WHY THE DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY IS FORMING A HOMELAND SECURITY AND SAFETY BOARD INCLUDING CEOS OF MAJOR TECH COMPANIES.

SO THE IDEA IS TO GIVE CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE IN THE UNITED STATES, THE TOOLS, THE ADVICE NEEDED TO HARNESS A.I.

>> THE PANEL WILL INCLUDE LEADING A.I.

ECONOMICS, GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS, AND DEFENSE CONTRACTORS.>> SAN DIEGO COUNTY'S SENIOR POPULATION IS EXPECTED TO GROW BY MORE THAN 21% OVER THE NEXT 10 YEARS.

HEIDI SAYS AS THE SENIOR POPULATION GROWS, SO DOES CONCERN ABOUT A GROUP KNOWN AS ELDER ORPHANS.

>> WHEN LEON CHRISTIANSEN WAS 65 YEARS OLD, HE SUFFERED A BRAIN BLEED, FOR FOUR DAYS, HE WAS UNDISCOVERED IN HIS APARTMENT UNTIL CONCERNED NEIGHBORS NOTICED A SMELL AND CALL FOR HELP.

HE THOUGHT HE WAS DEAD AND TOOK HIM TO THE WORD.>> I WASN'T DEAD, I WAS UNCONSCIOUS, BARELY EXISTING.

I STILL HAD REST, BUT NOT MUCH.>> HIS STORY, ALTHOUGH RARE, IS A SOBERING EXAMPLE OF THE SOCIAL ISOLATION ELDER ORPHANS FACE AS THEY GROW OLD WITHOUT SUPPORT.

IT'S ESTIMATED AROUND 101,000 PEOPLE OVER 65 LIVE ALONE IN SAN DIEGO COUNTY.

THAT'S ABOUT ONE IN FIVE SENIORS.

CHRISTIANSEN NEVER MARRIED OR HAD CHILDREN, ALTHOUGH HE SAID HE CAME CLOSE A FEW TIMES.

IT HAS BEEN MORE THAN 20 YEARS SINCE HE HAS SEEN ANY FAMILY.>> MY SECOND AND THIRD COUSIN, THEY LIVE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE COUNTRY.

I SAW THEM AT MY MOTHER'S FUNERAL, BACK IN 2002, AND I HAVEN'T HEARD FROM ANYONE SINCE.>> DR. LEE IS A CLINICIAN AND RESEARCHER, SHE STUDIED THE EPIDEMIC OF SOCIAL ISOLATION AND LONELINESS.

SHE LOOKS AT THE AGING OF BABY BOOMERS.>> WHEN YOU GET OLDER, THE RISK FACTORS OF BECOMING ISOLATED OR ALONE INCREASE, YOU ARE MORE LIKELY TO LOSE FAMILY, FRIENDS, AND SIGNIFICANT OTHERS AS THEY PASS AWAY.

YOU ARE MORE LIKELY TO COME MORE FRAIL AND LESS MOBILE, SO YOU WILL BE MORE DEPENDENT ON PEOPLE, WHICH YOU MAY OR MAY NOT BE ABLE TO ASK OR ACCESS.>> LEE SAYS ELDER ORPHANS OFTEN DON'T HAVE PEOPLE TO HELP THEM WITH FUNCTIONAL SUPPORT, SIMPLE TASKS THAT ARE HARDER TO ACCOMPLISH AS WE AGE.>> PEOPLE HAVE TO BREAST-FEED, GET MEDICINES, JV TO THE DOCTOR, HAVE EMOTIONAL, INTIMATE RELATIONSHIPS, AND EMOTIONAL SUPPORT.>> SHE SAYS IT'S CHALLENGING TO IDENTIFY THESE INDIVIDUALS, MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO MANAGE THE COMPLEXITIES INVOLVED IN DELIVERING CARE, ESPECIALLY IF THEY DON'T VOLUNTEER INFORMATION.

AFTER HIS ACCIDENT, CHRISTIANSEN WAS LEFT MOSTLY PARALYZED, BUT NEEDS A MOTORIZED WHEELCHAIR TO GET AROUND.

THEY HELP HIM WITH GROOMING, MAKING MEALS, AND SORTING MEDICATIONS.>> THEY REPRESENT FAMILY TO ME.>> HE LIVES AT A SENIOR RESIDENCE IN THE EAST VILLAGE OF SAN DIEGO.

HE'S NOT THE ONLY ONE LIVING THERE ALONE.>> OF THE INDIVIDUALS THAT I KNOW HERE, AT LEAST SIX OF THEM HAVE NO OTHER IMMEDIATE FAMILY EXCEPT US.>> THEY'VE LINKED ISOLATION AND LONELINESS IN ADULTS TO A HIGHER RISK OF PHYSICAL AND MENTAL CONDITION SUCH AS HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE, HEART DISEASE, DEPRESSION, AND COGNITIVE KLEIN.
