AND BY VIEWERS LIKE YOU.

THANK YOU.

>>> THE U.S.

STATE DEPARTMENT IS URGING AMERICANS IN PARTS OF MEXICO TO SHELTER IN PLACE FOLLOWING A WAVE OF VIOLENCE ACROSS THE COUNTRY.

THANK YOU FOR JOINING US.

I'M MAYA TRABULSI.

SEVERAL VEHICLES AND STORES WERE SET ABLAZE IN TIJUANA BY MEMBERS OF A MEXICAN DRUG CARTEL.

IT WAS A DIRECT RESPONSE TO THE KILLING OF A POWERFUL CARTEL LEADER NEAR GUADALAJARA.

BY TODAY, THE VIOLENCE HAD DIED DOWN AND THE CITY WAS LARGELY CALM.

>> Reporter: THE STREETS OF TIJUANA WERE MOSTLY QUIET ON MONDAY, THE DAY AFTER MEXICO'S MILITARY KILLED THE LEADER OF THE POWERFUL JALISCO NEW GENERATION CARTEL.

THE DAY OF RELATIVETIVE CALM CAME AFTER CARTEL MEMBERS SET VEHICLES AND BUILDINGS ON FIRE IN TIJUANA AND THROUGHOUT BAJA CALIFORNIA ON SUNDAY.

IT WAS PART OF A WAVE OF CHAOS AND VIOLENCE THROUGHOUT MEXICO IN RESPONSE TO THE KILLING OF THE MAN KNOWN AS EL MECHO.

AUTHORITIES ARRESTED 22 CARTEL MEMBERS, INCLUDING 11 IN TIJUANA.

THE U.S.

CONSULATE IN TIJUANA WARNED AMERICANS TO STAY INDOORS, AVOID UNNECESSARY MOVEMENT, AND STAY AWAY FROM CROWDS.

BAJA CALIFORNIA GOVERNOR MARINA AVILA ADDRESSED THE PUBLIC WITH AN EMERGENCY BROADCAST.

>> Reporter: THE MOST IMPORTANT THING TO KNOW, SHE SAID, IS THAT THERE ARE NO REPORTS OF DEATHS ON SUNDAY.

LASTLY, THE GOVERNOR TOLD CITIZENS TO FOLLOW THREE SIMPLE RULES.

>> Reporter: STAY CALM, GET INFORMATION FROM OFFICIAL SOURCES, AND DO NOT SPREAD MISINFORMATION THAT COULD CAUSE MORE FEAR AND CONFUSION.

GU SFAUF VOE SOLIS, KPBS NEWS.

>>> AMERICAN TOURISTS IN PARTS OF WESTERN MEXICO ARE STRANDED AMID THE VIOLENCE.

SEVERAL AIRLINES SUSPENDED FLIGHTS TO CITIES LIKE PUERTO VALLATRA AND GUADALAJARA UNTIL WEDNESDAY.

DAVID SAYS HIS FLIGHT WAS AMONG THOSE CANCELED.

HE WAS TOLD TO SHELTER IN PLACE.

>> IF YOU LOVE YOUR LIFE, STAY HERE, DON'T GO ANYWHERE.

THE ONLY WORRY IS FOOD.

FOOD, WATER.

EVERYTHING IS CLOSED.

EVERYTHING IS -- IT'S LIKE A GHOST TOWN.

IT'S LIKE THERE'S NO UBERS, NO TAXIS, NO BUSES.

IT'S A TOURIST PLACE, SUPPOSED TO BE BEACH THERAPY, AND TRAUMATIZING FOR A LOT OF PEOPLE HERE.

>> U.S.

OFFICIALS SAY AMERICAN INTELLIGENCE SUPPORTED THE OPERATION THAT LED TO THE KILLING OF MEXICO'S MOST WANTED CARTEL BOSS.

>>> I'M ARIELLA SCALESE.

COMING UP, A PARTLY CLOUDY SKY.

WE DROP TEMPERATURES INTO THE 50s.

WE'RE TRACKING A WARM, DRY PATTERN ACROSS THE REGION.

TEMPERATURES WELL ABOVE THE HISTORICAL AVERAGE.

COULD BE SOME LOW CLOUDS THAT RETURN.

WE'LL HAVE A CLOSER LOOK AT THE FORECAST JUST AHEAD.

>>> THE MAN BEHIND THE DEADLIEST SCHOOL SHOOTING IN SAN DIEGO COUNTY HISTORY IS ONE STEP CLOSER TO A CHAN AT FREEDOM.

CHARLES ANDY WILLIAMS APPEARED IN COURT FOR A STATUS CONFERENCE TODAY.

NO DECISION WAS MADE ON HIS POSSIBLE RESENTENCING.

WILLIAMS, WHO WAS 15 AT THE TIME, KILLED TWO PEOPLE AND INJURED DOZENS MORE IN THE 2001 SHOOTING AT SANTANA HIGH SCHOOL.

HE WAS ORIGINALLY SENTENCED TO 50 YEARS TO LIFE, BUT A JUDGE RULED HE CAN SEEK RESENTENCING DUE TO A CHANGE IN CALIFORNIA LAW.

>> WE'RE ALL DISAPPOINTED WITH IT.

HI GAVE THOSE FAMILIES LIFE SENTENCES.

A LOT OF OTHER FAMILIES THAT ARE AROUND, STILL AFRAID ABOUT THEIR KIDS GOING TO SCHOOL, HAVE LIFE SENTENCES AND HE DOESN'T HAVE ONE.

>> I'VE SPOKEN TO HIM RUT BELL TIMES.

I'VE SEEN THE WORK HE HAS DONE.

AND IT'S BEYOND EXEMPLARY, AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED.

>> WILLIAMS' DEFENSE ATTORNEY SAYS HE HAS CHANGED DRAMATICALLY SINCE ENTERING PRISON AT 15 YEARS OLD.

THE CASE WAS RESCHEDULED TO RETURN TO COURT IN ABOUT FOUR MONTHS PENDING THE APPEALS PROCESS.

>>> AFTER FOUR WEEKS ON STRIKE, UNIONIZED KAISER NURSES, PHARMACISTS, AND OTHER FRONTLINE STAFF ARE ING TO RETURN TO WORK.

KPBS HEALTH REPORTER HEIDI DE MARCO EXPLAINS WHAT LED TO THE DECISION AND WHAT HAPPENS NEXT.

>> Reporter: UNION LEADERS SAY THERE'S ENOUGH PROGRESS TO FORMALLY END THE STRIKE AND RETURN TO WORK TUESDAY MORNING.

HOWEVER, THEY HAVEN'T REACHED A FINAL CONTRACT AGREEMENT YET WITH KAISER AND BARGAINING IS CONTINUING.

THE STRIKE BEGAN JANUARY 26th AND INVOLVED MORE THAN 2,000 FRONTLINE HEALTH CARE WORKERS IN SAN DIEGO COUNTY.

IT'S PART OF A LARGER STATEWIDE WALKOUT OVER STAFFING LEVELS, PAY, AND WORKLOAD CONCERNS.

AT THE PICKET LINES, SEVERAL WORKERS TOLD KPBS THAT THESE ISSUES DIRECTLY AFFECT PATIENT CARE.

FOR PATIENTS, THE MOST IMMEDIATE CHANGE SHOULD BE MORE CONSISTENT STAFFING STARTING TOMORROW.

DURING THE STRIKE, KAISER RELIED ON TEMPORARY REPLACEMENT WORKERS TO KEEP HOSPITALS RUNNING AND CLINICS OPERATING.

THERE WERE NO PICKET LINES TODAY AS BOTH SIDES WORKED OUT RETURN TO WORK LOGISTICS.

NEGOTIATIONS ARE EXPECTED TO CONTINUE IN THE COMING DAYS.

FROM THE NEWSROOM, HEIDI DE MARCO, KPBS NEWS.

>>> IN A STATEMENT, KAISER CALLED THE STRIKE ENTIRELY UNNECESSARY AND SAID IT OFFERED A 21.5% WAGE INCREASE OVER FOUR YEARS, WHICH IT DESCRIBED AS THE MAXIMUM IT COULD PROVIDE WHILE KEEPING CARE AFFORDABLE.

THE HOSPITAL SAYS THE UNION HAS ACCEPTED THAT WAGE PROPOSAL, AND THEY ARE OPTIMISTIC ABOUT REACHING A CONTRACT AGREEMENT SOON.

>>> PRESIDENT TRUMP IS DOUBLING DOWN ON HIS TARIFFS AFTER BEING HANDED A RARE DEFEAT BY THE SUPREME COURT.

>> THE WHOLE THING IS A FARCE.

>> Reporter: DEMOCRATIC CALIFORNIA GOVERNOR GAVIN NEWSOM REACTING TO PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP'S SATURDAY ANNOUNCEMENT THAT HE'S RAISING GLOBAL TARIFFS TO 15% FROM THE 10% HE IMPOSED A DAY EARLIER.

>> TAS 10% TWO DAYS AGO, MAYBE 20% TOMORROW.

I MEAN, THIS IS MADNESS.

>> Reporter: THE BACK-TO-BACK TARIFF ANNOUNCEMENTS CAME AFTER THE SUPREME COURT HANDED DOWN A DECISION FRIDAY RULING THE SWEEPING EMERGENCY TARIFFS TRUMP IMPOSED LAST YEAR ARE ILLEGAL.

BUT THE HIGH COURT'S RULING ONLY APPLIES TO THE DUTIES TRUMP IMPOSED USING ONE SPECIFIC LAW, AND THE PRESIDENT IMMEDIATELY RESPONDED BY SAYING HE WILL NOW ALLOW OTHER LEGAL AUTHORITIES TO KEEP TARIFFS IN PLACE.

>> FURTHER ALTERNATIVES WILL NOW BE USED TO REPLACE THE ONES THAT THE COURT INCORRECTLY REJECTED.

>> Reporter: THE LAW TRUMP IS RELYING ON FOR HIS NEW 15% GLOBAL TARIFFS REQUIRES THAT CONGRESS APPROVE THE DUTIES WITHIN 150 DAYS FOR THEM TO REMAIN IN EFFECT.

AS FOR THE TENS OF BILLIONS OF DOLLARS U.S.

COMPANIES PAID AFTER TRUMP RAISED TARIFFS LAST YEAR, DEMOCRATS ARE DEMANDING THE MONEY BE REFUNDED.

>> HE NEEDS TO RETURN THAT MONEY, HE NEEDS TO REFUND THAT MONEY WITH INTEREST.

HE CAN DO THAT IN A NANOSECOND.

THEY CAN DO IT ELECTRONICALLY.

THEY HAVE THE TARIFF CODES.

THEY HAVE THE ABILITY.

>> Reporter: TREASURY SECRETARY SCOTT BESSENT SAYS IT'S NOT THAT SIMPLE.

>> THE SUPREME COURT DID NOT ADDRESS REFUNDS.

THE SUPREME COURT REMANDED IT DOWN TO A LOWER COURT.

THAT COULD BE WEEKS OR MONTHS WHEN WE HEAR THEM.

>> Reporter: I'M REID BENNION REPORTING.

>> PRESIDENT TRUMP IS EXPECTED TO DISCUSS GLOBAL TRADE TOMORROW DURING HIS STATE OF THE UNION ADDRESS.

PBS WILL HAVE SPECIAL COVERAGE BEGINNING AT 6:00 P.M., AND YOU CAN WATCH THE SPEECH AND ANALYSIS RIGHT HERE ON KPBS TELEVISION AND BE SURE TO TUNE INTO "EVENING EDITION" AHEAD OF THE PRESIDENT'S SPEECH AT 5:00 AND 5:30 HERE OR ON YOUTUBE.

>>> I'M JEFF BENNETT.

TONIGHT ON "THE NEWS HOUR," TOURIST AREAS IN MEXICO ARE HIT WITH WAVES OF VIOLENCE AFTER THE KILLING OF A CARTEL LEADER.

THAT'S AT 7:00 AFTER "EVENING EDITION" ON KPBS.

>>> SAN DIEGO POLICE ARE STOPPING FEWER DRIVERS THAN IN PREVIOUS YEARS.

WHILE TRAFFIC DEATHS ON OUR ROADS HAVE INCREASED SIGNIFICANTLY.

THE POLICE DEPARTMENT SAYS THE DECLINE IN STOPS IS DUE TO SEVERAL FACTORS, INCLUDING FEWER OFFICERS ON THE FORCE.

BUT "PUBLIC MATTERS" REPORTER JAKE GOTTA SAYS POLICE AND LOCAL ADVOCATES AGREE -- AUTOMATING SOME ASPECTS OF ENFORCEMENT COULD HELP.

>> Reporter: SAN DIEGO POLICE ARE STOPPING A LOT FEWER DRIVERS.

NOW, YOU MIGHT LIKE THAT IF YOU'RE A DRIVER WHO LIKES TO BREAK THE LAW.

PUT THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE DYING ON OUR ROADS HAS GONE UP A LOT.

IN 2014, SAN DIEGO POLICE STOPPED OVER 144,000 DRIVERS, ACCORDING TO CITY DATA.

THAT YEAR THERE WERE 78 FATALITIES ON OUR ROADS.

BY 2022, THE NUMBER OF STOPS HAD GONE DOWN TO JUST 49,000.

IN THAT YEAR, 124 PEOPLE DIED IN TRAFFIC IN SAN DIEGO.

>> WE ARE NOT INTENDING FOR TRAFFIC COLLISIONS TO GO UP OR TRAFFIC DEATHS TO GO UP, OBVIOUSLY.

BUT IT'S -- IT'S MORE TO KIND OF LOOK INTO.

AND IF ALTERNATELY THE COMMUNITY SAYS, HEY, WE NEED MORE TRAFFIC ENFORCE MANY, THEN THAT'S SOMETHING THAT OUR LEADERSHIP WILL LOOK INTO.

>> Reporter: POLICE SPOKESPERSON LAWSUIT THAN CESAR JIMINEZ SAYS THERE ARE SEVERAL REASONS FOR THE DECLINE IN STOPS BUT ONE IS THE R.I.P.A., THE RACIAL AND IDENTIFYING ACT.

>> EVERY TIME OUR OFFICERS STOP SOMEBODY, THEY HAVE TO FILL OUT A R.I.P.A.

FORM.

ABOUT 30 QUESTIONS, DEPENDING ON THE STOP.

FOR EXAMPLE IN A VEHICLE IF THEY STOP THREE PEOPLE IN A VEHICLE AND THEY GET THEIR INFORMATION, THEY'VE GOT TO FILL OUT A R.I.P.A.

CARD FOR EACH PERSON.

THAT COULD TAKE ANYWHERE FROM FIVE, SIX, TO 15, 20 MINUTES.

>> Reporter: JIMINEZ SAID THERE ARE ALSO MORE OFFICERS ASSIGNED TO COMMUNITY POLICING.

>> OUR NEIGHBORHOOD POLICING TEAM IS DEDICATED TO HELPING PEOPLE WHO FIND THEMSELVES HOMELESS.

AND SO THE FIRST THING THAT THEY DO IS BASICALLY SEEK -- TRY TO OFFER HELP.

>> Reporter: AND HE SAID THERE ARE JUST FEWER OFFICERS ON THE FORCE.

>> BUT YET, YOU KNOW, CRIME STILL REMAINS LOW IN COMPARISON TO OTHER BIG CITIES.

>> Reporter: THERE ARE OTHER WAYS TO IMPROVE ROAD SAFETY.

THINGS LIKE SPEED BUMPS AND ROUND-ABOUTS WOULD SLOW DOWN CARS BUT THOSE COST A LOT OF MONEY AND TAKE TIME TO BUILD.

>> I'M SURE EVERYONE IN THE CITY OF SAN DIEGO IS FAMILIAR WITH THE BUDGET WOES.

>> Reporter: ARIA GROSSMAN FROM "CIRCULATE SAN DIEGO" SAYS THE CITY IS CONSIDERING LOWER SPEED LIMITS ON SEVERAL ROADS BUT -- >> EFFORTS TO REDUCE SPEED LIMITS WILL LITERALLY HAVE NO EFFECT IF THESE NEW SPEED LIMITS AND LAWS AREN'T ENFORCED.

>> Reporter: SAN DIEGO IS NOT ALONE.

CASE FILINGS FOR INFRACTIONS AND TRAFFIC MISDEMEANORS ARE DOWN ACROSS THE STATE, AND TRAFFIC DEATHS HAVE INCREASED STATEWIDE AS WELL.

THAT'S WHY THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA RECENTLY PASSED A LAW TO RE-ESTABLISH SPEED CAMERAS IN SELECT CITIES.

SAN DIEGO ISN'T ON THE LIST, BUT SPEED CAMERAS AND THE RED LIGHT CAMERAS THE CITY OF ENCINITAS IS CONSIDERING COULD HELP IMPROVE SAFETY ON OUR ROADS.

>> MEASURES THAT GET AT MAKING OUR STREETS SAFER BUT ELIMINATE SOME OF THAT BIAS THAT CAN COME WITH ACTIVE POLICE FORCE ENFORCEMENT ARE SOMETHING THAT CIRCULATE AND IS, YOU KNOW, SUPPORTIVE OF AND ARE NET POSITIVE IN OUR COMMUNITIES.

>> Reporter: LIEUTENANT JIMINEZ AGREED THEY COULD AN USEFUL TOOL IN SAN DIEGO.

>> IF THE COURTS ALLOW US TO USE THAT KIND OF TECHNOLOGY, I THINK THAT WOULD BE HELPFUL AS WELL.

>> Reporter: THE CITY ADOPTED A ZERO VISION POLICY IN 2015.

THE GOAL IS GETTING TO ZERO TRAFFIC DEATHS EACH YEAR.

WE'RE A LONG WAY FROM THAT, AND THERE'S NO SINGLE SOLUTION.

BUT STATE LEADERS, LOCAL ADVOCATES, AND THE POLICE DEPARTMENT AGREE, SAFER INFRASTRUCTURE AND BETTER ENFORCEMENT WOULD HELP.

JAKE GOTTA, KPBS NEWS.

>> "PUBLIC MATTERS" IS A PARTNERSHIP WITH KPBS, INEWSOURCE, AND VOICE OF SAN DIEGO.

YOU CAN SEE MORE OF OUR STORIES AT KPBS.ORG/PUBLICMATTERS.

>>> JUST A FEW MONTHS AFTER CLOSING DOWN, A BARRIO LOGAN INSTITUTION IS MAKING A COMEBACK.

JACOB AERE SAYS THE ICONIC MILPAS MEXICAN RESTAURANT IS GETTING READY TO MOVE INTO A NEW LOCATION.

>> Reporter: FROM 1933 UNTIL 2025, THE ESTUDIO FAMILY SERVED MEXICAN FOOD AT LOS QUATTRO MILPAS.

THE RESTAURANT OFTEN HAD A LONG LINE OUT FRONT.

NADYA ESTUDIO IS THE GREAT GRANDDAUGHTER OF THE ORIGINAL OWNERS.

>> I WOULD DESCRIBE IT AS YOUR TYPICAL HOMIE MEXICAN FOOD THAT YOU EXPECT WHEN YOU GO TO YOUR GRANDMA'S HOUSE.

YOUR BEANS AND RICE.

>> Reporter: BUT THEY CLOSED IN DECEMBER AFTER 92 YEARS IN BUSINESS.

THE ESTUDIOS SOLD THE RESTAURANT PROPERTY FOR $2.2 MILLION.

>> IT WAS A VERY SAD MOMENT FOR THE ESTUDIO FAMILY.

THAT PROPERTY HAD BEEN IN OUR FAMILY 100 YEARS NOW.

>> Reporter: NADYA SAID THE CLOSURE WAS DUE TO FINANCIAL PROBLEMS THAT ARE BEING RESOLVED.

NOW THEY'RE OPENING A FEW BLOCKS AWAY.

>> I COULDN'T LET THE LEGACY DIE, AND MY FATHER COULDN'T ALLOW THAT TO HAPPEN FOR HIS BRAND PARENTS, EITHER.

HENCE OUR NEW, NEW LOCATION.

OUR NEW, NEW BEST OF THE OLD.

>> Reporter: BROKER GINO KALASHO WORKED WITH THE RESTAURANT TO SECURE THE NEW SPACE.

>> ONE OF THE MAIN POSITIVES ABOUT THIS SPACE IS THAT IT HAS A FULL KITCHEN, IT HAS A HOOD, GREASE TRAP INTACT.

>> Reporter: HE SAID THEY SIGNED THE LEASE OVER VOL LEN TINE'S WEEKEND.

THE NEW SPACE IS A FEW BLOCKS AWAY FROM THE PREVIOUS LOCATION.

>> I THINK IT'S POSITIVE FOR THEM BECAUSE IT'S DEFINITELY UPGRADED AND MORE RECENT IN TERMS OF CODE, THINGS LIKE THAT.

A LOT OF THESE GUYS DON'T HAVE TO WORRY AS MUCH.

GOT THE PATIO OUT HERE, WHICH THEY DID NOT HAVE AT THEIR OTHER LOCATION.

MIGHT BE BETTER ABLE TO SERVICE THE LINES, HOPEFULLY.

>> Reporter: SHE HOPES THEY'LL BE OPEN BY CHICANO PARK DAY, APRIL 25th.

>> SAME DISHES, SAME DYNAMIC THAT PEOPLE LOVE, GOING DOWN THAT COOKING LINE.

WE'RE GOING TO KEEP ALL THAT THE SAME, JUST A LITTLE BIT -- FEW TWEAKS AND UPGRADES THERE ALONG THE LINE.

BUT IT'S FOR THE BEST.

>> Reporter: ESTUDIOS SAYS SOME OF THOSE TWEAKS INCLUDED CHANGES IN DECOR AND SELLING SOME MERCHANDISE.

AFTER A LONG HISTORY OF BEING A CASH-ONLY BUSINESS, THEY'LL START ACCEPTING CARDS FOR PAYMENT.

JACOB AERE, KPBS NEWS.

>>> IF A PICTURE PAINTS A THOUSAND WORDS, THEN PHOTOGRAPHER CAT GILLETTE IS A PROLIFIC WRITER.

THESE AN INTERNATIONALLY ACCLAIMED PHOTOGRAPHER WHO VOLUNTEERS THEIR HER TIME AND TALENT TO CAPTURE THE REAL PERSONALITY OF SHELTER DOGS AND HELP THEM GET ADOPTED.

AND GET READY FOR A LOT OF PLAYFUL DOGS AND SQUEAKY TOYS.

>> Reporter: HER IMAGES ARE POWERFUL.

ELEGANT.

AND IN 1/300 SECONDS, HER CAMERA CAPTURES THE TRUE ESSENCE OF AN ANIMAL.

A MOMENT FROZEN IN TIME.

>> I LIKE HANGING OUT WITH DOGS.

>> Reporter: PET GRAPHER CAT DILETTE TELLS THE STORY OF ANIMALS THROUGH HER LENS.

AN AWARD-WINNING PHOTOGRAPHY ARTIST, HER PICTURES ARE A MOMENTARY SNOOP SHOT OF THE LOVING BOND BETWEEN PEOPLE AND THEIR PETS.

>> IT SOLIDIFIES SOMETHING THAT YOU CAN'T TOUCH, KIND OF.

AND I LOVE THAT FOR PEOPLE.

>> Reporter: AND IT IS THOSE HUMAN BONDS SHE HOPES SHELTER ANIMALS WILL FIND WITH HER HELP.

>> I JUST HOPE THAT PEOPLE SEE A PET THAT COULD BE A PART OF THEIR FAMILY.

>> Reporter: FOR THE PAST YEAR, CAT HAS VOLUNTEERED HER TIME EACH MONTH TO TAKE PICTURES OF ANIMALS AT THE SAN DIEGO HUMANE SOCIETY.

ESPECIALLY ONES THAT HAVE WAITED IN THE SHELTER FOR MONTHS WITHOUT ANY INTEREST.

>> I REALLY HOPE THAT I CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE BY DOING IT.

>> Reporter: SHE SAYS HER IMAGES HIGHLIGHT THE IMPORTANCE OF SHOWING EACH ANIMAL AS THE INDIVIDUAL IT IS, WITH ITS OWN STORY, A STORY THAT COULD TAKE A POSITIVE TURN FOR THIS DOBERMAN, MASERATI.

>> JUST GETTING ALL THE ATTENTION?

>> Reporter: HIS REGAL AND SLEEK COMPOSITION, COMPLEMENTED BY HIS DAPPER BOWTIE COLLAR.

BY THE LOOKS OF NAPOLEON, THE GERMAN SHEPHERD, IT WOULD BE AN UNDERSTATEMENT TO SAY THEY LIKE TIGHT.

SHE TAKES HER TIME, GIVES SPACE, AND LETS THE DOGS LEAD THE PHOTO SESSION.

WITH LOTS OF TREATS, TOYS, AND WATER BREAKS ALONG THE WAY.

SHE USES HER FULL VOCAL RANGE TO MAKE DIFFERENT SOUNDS.

AND A HIGH-TECH TOOL.

>> I CUT THIS OUT OF AN OLD TOY.

JUST A SQUEAKER BUT I USE IT AS A WHISTLE.

>> Reporter: NOT THAT HIGH-TECH, BUT A GREAT WAY TO GET THE GLORIOUS HEAD TILT.

>> LOOK AT THIS SIT!

>> Reporter: THE STORY OF WHY AN ADULT DOG ENDS UP AT A SHELTER IS ALWAYS SAD.

IN THEIR INTAKE PHOTOS, NAPOLEON AND MASERATI LOOK LIKE DIFFERENT DOGS.

THEIR SOULFUL EYES REFLECT THE INSECURITY OF THEIR OVERSTIMULATING ENVIRONMENT.

BUT WITH TLC AND CAT GLAMOR MAGIC, THE PHOTOS SHOWCASE THEIR OFTEN GOOFY NATURE.

CAT'S PHOTOS CAN REALLY SHOW A POTENTIAL ADOPTER WHAT THEY'RE BRINGING HOME.

>> HAVING VOLUNTEERS TAKE PICTURES LIKE CAT, IT HELPS A LOT.

BECAUSE IT LETS THESE ANIMALS SHOW THEIR TRUE PERSONALITIES.

>> Reporter: WITH MORE THAN 750 ADULT DOGS IN THEIR CARE, IT TAKES A TEAM WITH MANY DIFFERENT TALENTS TO GIVE THESE ANIMALS A SECOND CHANCE.

>> IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT TYPE OF JOB YOU DO FOR A LIVING.

YOU CAN PROBABLY HELP US WITH YOUR SKILLS.

SO PHOTOGRAPHY OR ANIMAL HANDLING.

WE HAVE OUR FINANCE DEPARTMENT FOR PAPERWORK.

SO THERE'S ALL KINDS OF WAYS YOU CAN SUPPORT ANIMALS IN NEED.

>> Reporter: SUPPORTING THE NEEDS OF ANIMALS IS WHAT CAT HAS SQUARELY IN HER VIEW FINDER.

>> LOOK AT HIM PRANCING.

>> Reporter: LIKE MASERATI THE DOBERMAN.

FOUND AS A SPRAY IN PARADISE HILLS, MICROCHIPPED BUT UNCLAIMS, HE WAS ADOPTED A DAY AFTER HIS GLAMOR SHOT WAS UPLOADED TO THE HUMANE SOCIETY'S WEBSITE.

>> IF I CAN CHANGE EVEN JUST ONE, THAT'S AMAZING.

>> Reporter: MAYA TRABULSI, KPBS NEWS.

>>> ALL RIGHT, THIS IS MY KIND OF WEATHER.

WARM, DRY STRETCH.

IT HOLDS ALL WEEK LONG.

BUT TEMPERATURES REALLY DO START TO CLIMB.

WE'LL BE SOME 10 TO 20 DEGREES ABOVE THE HISTORICAL AVERAGE AT TIMES.

WE MAY SEE MARINE LAYER RETURN AS WE HEAD LATER INTO THE WEEK.

PARTLY CLOUDY TONIGHT.

51 IN SAN DIEGO AND CHULA VISTA.

COOLER IN OCEANSIDE.

BORREGO SPRINGS 49.

MOUNT UNA 43.

THE NIGHT IS PRETTY NICE.

COMPARED TO WHERE WE'VE BEEN RECENTLY.

SNAPSHOT OF TUESDAY.

A LOT OF DRY WEATHER BACK IN ACROSS THE SOUTHWEST.

IT'S FURTHER NORTH INTO THE STATE.

THAT'S WHERE WE'RE GOING TO BE DEALING WITH AN ATMOSPHERIC RIVER.

NORTHERN PARTS OF CALIFORNIA INUNDATED WITH HEAVIER RAIN, RUNNING DOWN TO SAN FRANCISCO AND RETURN OF THE MOUNTAIN SNOW.

WE STAY WARM, AND WE STAY DRY THROUGH TUESDAY.

HOW ABOUT THESE TEMPERATURES.

LOOKING NICE ALONG THE COAST.

OCEANSIDE AT 71.

SAN DIEGO 73.

CHULA VISTA 74.

AND HEATING ON UP, NEARLY 90 DEGREES, A HIGH OF 88 IN BORREGO SPRINGS AND 60 WITH SUNSHINE IN MOUNT LAGUNA.

SO A WARM DAY AHEAD.

WEDNESDAY'S WARMTH CONTINUES AS WELL WITH TEMPERATURES ABOVE THE HISTORICAL AVERAGE AS WE HEAD INTO THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK.

SO WE FOLLOW THE FIVE-DAY FORECAST ALONG THE COAST HERE WHERE TEMPERATURES WILL STAY INTO THE UPPER 60s AND LOW 6070s.

EVEN OVERNIGHT LOWS BEGIN TO INCREASE AS WELL AS WE GET INTO FRIDAY AND SATURDAY, BACK INTO THE LOWER END OF THE 70s.

LOOKING FURTHER INLAND, HOW ABOUT HOT.

THAT'S THE WAY WE DESCRIBE THE WEATHER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS.

TEMPERATURES BACK INTO THE 80s.

AGAIN, ABOVE THE HISTORICAL AVERAGE FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR.

THE NIGHTS WILL BE COMFORTABLE, DOWN TO THE 40s AND 50s.

WE'LL SEE TEMPERATURES DROP OFF A LITTLE BIT BY SATURDAY AT 78.

ACROSS THE MOUNTAINS, WE STAY PRETTY STEADY FOR THE WEEK.

TEMPERATURES WILL BE CLOSE TO ABOUT 60.

WATCH THE WIND PICK UP A LITTLE BIT AS WE HEAD INTO THE DAY ON WEDNESDAY.

AND GET READY FOR THE HEAT.

OH, MY GOSH.

UPPER 80s TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY.

WE'LL HIT THE 90s FRIDAY AND SATURDAY ACROSS THE DESERT.

FOR KPBS NEWS, I'M ARIELLA SCALESE.

>>> THE NEW CHULA VISTA COMPLEX IS UNDER WAY AND HOPES TO DRAW FILM PRODUCTION AWAY FROM LOS ANGELES.

BUT DEATH ACCOMANDO SAYS KERNEY MESA ALREADY HAS THEATER SPACE WHERE THEY'VE JUST COMPLETED SHOOTING.

>> Reporter: EARLIER THIS ADMONITION I HEADED UP TO KERNEY MESA TO CHECK IN ON A FILM SHOOT.

>> WE ARE ABOUT TO FILM "SALUTE YOU."

>> Reporter: CAROLYN HENNESSEY IS ONE OF THE ACTORS IN STEVEN MARKS' "CONCERT HEROES."

>> IT'S A SAN DIEGO STORY, BASICALLY ABOUT TWO FILMMAKERS WHO GET HIRED TO DO A DOCUMENTARY ABOUT A CLASSIC ROCK BAND COMING BACK TO THEIR HOMETOWN.

AND THINGS GO HEY S GO HAYWIRE.

>> Reporter: E.G.

DALY PLAYS BETTY.

>> WELL, I HAD A BAD DAY.

I DON'T WANT TO GIVE AWAY TOO MUCH, BUT THINGS HAVE HAPPENED, AND SOME DIFFICULTIES, AND NOW HAVING A LITTLE BIT OF A SORE HEAD.

>> Reporter: BETTY MIGHT BE HAVING A BAD DAY BUT THE ACTORS ARE ENJOYING SPARKS' STUDIO.

>> I THINK THEY'RE USING EVERY INCH, ACTUALLY.

>> Reporter: LEO KATZ OWNS IT.

>> THE SPIRE PROPERTY IS TWO ACRES WITH TWO BUILDINGS.

ONE IS JUST A FULL-ON EVENT CENTER.

AND THEN THE OTHER BUILDING, IT'S A THREE-STORY BUILDING WITH ACTUALLY THE ONLY RENTABLE STUDIO, DOUBLE-WALL STUDIO IN SAN DIEGO.

THEY WERE ABLE TO TAKE SCENES THAT WOULD OTHERWISE HAVE TO BE FILMED IN PROBABLY A DOZEN DIFFERENT PLACES, AND THEY FOUND SPOTS ON THE PROPERTY THAT THEY COULD FILM HERE.

SO IT'S A PRETTY AABBREVIATED SHOOT.

THEY'RE DOING I THINK TEN PAGES A DAY, WHICH IS PROBABLY TWICE AS MUCH AS ANY TRADITIONAL FILM SHOOT.

>> Reporter: MARK WANTED TO SHOOT AND SAN DIEGO, AND NOT JUST BECAUSE IT'S WHERE THE STORY TAKES PLACE.

>> PROMOTING THE SAN DIEGO FILM COMMUNITY IS SO IMPORTANT TO ME.

SO THAT WAS ANOTHER BIG REASON, SHOOTING HERE.

>> Reporter: THERE ARE OTHER BENEFITS TO SHOOTING HERE.

>> THEY'RE HAPPY AND EXCITED WHEN YOU'RE INVADING THEIR SPACE.

IN LOS ANGELES, IT'S A 100% DIFFERENT VIBE.

THEY WANT MONEY TO FILM THERE.

THE PERMIT SITUATION'S MUCH HARDER.

>> THERE'S ACTUALLY A BILL THAT'S HERE IN SAN DIEGO THAT WE ARE PARTICIPATING IN TO BRING IN REBATES, STATE REBATES, FOR INDEPENDENT FILM PRODUCTIONS.

>> Reporter: BUT GETTING L.A.-BASED PRODUCTIONS TO USE EVERYTHING SAN DIEGO OFFERS IS STILL A CHALLENGE.

>> A LOT OF TIMES IF THEY NEED TO COME DOWN HERE TO FILM, THEY ARE BRINGING THEIR CREW AND THEIR EQUIPMENT.

BUT WE ACTUALLY HAVE EVERYTHING HERE.

WE'RE TRYING TO ENCOURAGE THEM TO USE THE SAN DIEGO TALENT.

>> Reporter: KATZ WANTS L.A.

PRODUCTIONS TO REALIZE SAN DIEGO HAS BOTH STUDIO SPACE AND BEAUTIFUL EXTERIORS.

>> SO THEY LOVE THE SCENERY OF SAN DIEGO.

BUT THEN THEY GO BACK UP TO L.A.

TO DO THE INSIDE SHOTS AND THE -- THINGS IN THE SOUND STAGE.

BUT WE HAVE A SOUND STAGE THAT PEOPLE CAN RENT.

>> Reporter: HENNESSEY, FAMOUS FOR HER YEARS ON "GENERAL HOSPITAL," APPLAUDS WHAT SAN DIEGO HAS TO OFFER.

>> SO I WOULD LOVE IT IF THIS BECAME, YOU KNOW, HOLLYWOOD SOUTH.

>> Reporter: MARK SNANT UNDERSTANDS THE PERKS OF SHOOTING IN SAN DIEGO.

HIS CONCERT HEROES RECENTLY WRAPPED AND IS HOPING FOR RELEASE LATER THIS YEAR.
