AND BY THE FOLLOWING.

AND BY VIEWERS LIKE YOU.

THANK YOU.

>>> THE SAN DIEGO CITY ATTORNEY IS STILL MOVING AHEAD WITH CHARGES AGAINST GAZA SOLIDARITY PROTESTERS ARRESTED LAST MONTH AT UC SAN DIEGO.

THANK YOU FOR JOINING US.

DOZENS OF PROTESTERS WERE SCHEDULED TO BE IN COURT TODAY BUT THE HEARING WAS CANCELED.

OUR EDUCATION REPORTER AS THE LATEST ON WHAT THAT MEANS FOR THE PENDING CASES.

>> Reporter: COURT WAS IN SESSION AND IT WAS BUSINESS AS USUAL TODAY.

HERE AT THE SAN DIEGO SUPERIOR COURT HOUSE DOWNTOWN, WITHOUT THE PLANNED PROTEST THAT HAD BEEN SCHEDULED FOR THIS AFTERNOON BECAUSE THE CITY ATTORNEY CALLED OFF COURT APPEARANCES.

>> A LOT OF PEOPLE WERE VIEWING IT AS NEGATIVE.

>> THE UC SAN DIEGO ACADEMIC STUDENT EMPLOYEE CHAIRMAN AND RESEARCHERS, POSTDOCTORAL SCHOLARS WENT ON STRIKE EARLIER THIS MONTH BECAUSE OF WHAT THEY CALLED UNFAIR LABOR PRACTICES.

REGARDING THE ARRESTS OF STUDENTS AND SUPPORTERS OF THE GAZA SOLIDARITY ENCAMPMENT NEAR THE LIBRARY.

IT WAS TORN DOWN BY LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS AT THE ORDER OF UC SAN DIEGO CHANCELLOR.

THAT LED TO CHARGES BEING CONSIDER BY MARA ELLIOTT.

THE CITY ATTORNEY.

MORE THAN 60 PROTESTERS WERE SUPPOSED TO RETURN TO COURT BUT APPEARANCES DID NOT HAPPEN.

CONFUSING UNION LEADERS WHO ARE ALSO DEFENDING STUDENT PROTESTERS FROM CONDUCT CHARGES BY THE UNIVERSITY.

>> THERE IS NOT ANY CLEAR GUIDANCE ON HOW THE PROCESS WILL BE CARRIED OUT.

YOU DON'T KNOW HOW IT WILL BE AFFECTING YOUR STATUS AT THE UNIVERSITY.

THAT IS SOMETHING THAT WILL BE A FOCUS FOR US.

>> THE CITY ATTORNEY DID CANCEL THE COURT APPEARANCES TODAY BUT THAT IS IT.

THE DELAY IS DESIGNED TO GIVE PROSECUTORS MORE TIME TO LOOK INTO THESE CASES.

THE DIRECTOR OF COMMUNICATIONS FOR THE CITY ATTORNEY TOLD KPBS THAT PROSECUTORS CONTINUE TO CAREFULLY REVIEW THE INFORMATION RECEIVED FROM UC SAN DIEGO POLICE AND OTHER AGENCIES.

PROSECUTORS WILL MAKE ANY DECISIONS ON FILING CHARGES AFTER THEY COMPLETE THEIR REVIEW OF THE FACTS.

WE WILL HAVE A FULL STATEMENT FOR THE MEDIA AT THAT TIME.

THE UNIVERSITY ADMINISTRATION WILL NOT COMMENT ON THE PENDING LITIGATION AND THE STUDENT CONDUCT INVESTIGATIONS ARE NOW UNDERWAY.

THE STRIKE WAS STOPPED BY A TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER LAST WEEK.

>> INSTEAD OF THE UNIVERSITY FACILITATING AND ORCHESTRATING PROTEST, THEY'VE CHOSEN THIS SPOT.

>> THE PROTESTS ARE ON HOLD ALONG FOR A WAIT FOR JUSTICE TO BE SERVED.

>>> THE ROMAN CATHOLIC DIOCESE OF SAN DIEGO FILED FOR CHAPTER 11 BANKRUPTCY PROTECTION TODAY IN THE WAKE OF HUNDREDS OF LEGAL CLAIMS FROM ALLEGED SEXUAL ABUSE VICTIMS.

ALEXANDRA WYNN HAS MORE ON THAT BANKRUPTCY.

>> Reporter: 17 YEARS AGO THE SAN DIEGO DIOCESE PAID NEARLY $200 MILLION TO SETTLE SEXUAL ABUSE CLAIMS FROM NEARLY 150 SURVIVORS.

IN 2019 THEY EXTENDED THE STATUTE OF LIMITATION ON CHILD SEXUAL ASSAULT CASES AND SINCE THEN 450 CASES HAVE BEEN FILED AGAINST THE DIOCESE.

A DIOCESE SPOKESPERSON SAID BANKRUPTCY IS THE ONLY WAY FOR THE DIOCESE TO ENSURE ALL SURVIVORS ARE JUSTLY COMPENSATED.

>> IF WE DON'T USE THE BANKRUPTCY PROCESS, WE WILL HAVE A SITUATION WHERE OVER 450 PEOPLE BROUGHT CLAIMS FORWARD.

IF WE WERE TO DEAL WITH THESE PLACES -- CASES SEQUENTIALLY IT IS HIGHLY POSSIBLE THAT ALL RESOURCES MIGHT BE EXHAUSTED AFTER 10 OR 20 CASES.

>> LAST YEAR THE CARDINAL WARNED OF THE POSSIBILITY IN AN ANNOUNCEMENT TO PARISHIONERS.

THE COURT APPOINTED A LIAISON AND THIS IS A STRATEGY FOR THE DIOCESE TO PAY LOWER SETTLEMENT CLAIMS.

>> THEY WANT TO TRY TO GET THESE RESOLVED IN THE CONTEXT OF A BANKRUPTCY WHERE THEY GET OR CAN GET AT DISCHARGE OF NOT JUST THESE CLAIMS BUT FUTURE CLAIMS.

>> THE ONE BRIGHT SPOT ABOUT THE BANKRUPTCY FILING IS THAT THE CLAIMS CAN BE RESOLVED FASTER THAN IN THE STATE COURT SYSTEM.

THE PARTIES HAVE BEEN IN MEDIATION FOR THE LAST NINE MONTHS AND WERE CLOSE TO A SETTLEMENT.

LAST YEAR COLONEL McELROY SAID IT COULD CAUSE THE DIOCESE MORE THAN $550 MILLION.

>>> A WILDFIRE IS RAGING IN LOS ANGELES AS SOME WESTERN TEMPERATURES THIS WEEK .

SOME ARE EXPECTED TO HIT HIGHS NOT SEEN IN 30 YEARS.

HE IS BRIAN ABEL WITH WHAT IS BEHIND THIS SEVERE WEATHER AND WHEN THE HEAT WILL LET UP.

>> HUNDREDS OF RECORDS COULD BE TIED OR BROKEN THIS WEEK AS EXTREME HEAT RISKS BLANKET PARTS OF THE MIDWEST AND NORTHEAST.

SOME CITIES IN THE NORTHEAST INCLUDING SYRACUSE AND PITTSBURGH ARE SET TO EXPERIENCE TEMPERATURES NOT SEEN IN THREE DECADES.

THE NEW YORK GOVERNOR DEPLOYING 50 NATIONAL GUARD MEMBERS TO PROVIDE HEAT ASSISTANCE ACROSS THE STATE.

>> IF YOU COULD CONSIDER A LIMITED PROLONGED OR INTENSE OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES.

>> THE EXPENSIVE AND LONG- LASTING HEAT WAVE FUELED BY AN INTENSE HEAT DOME, PUSHING THE HEAT INDEX INTO THE LOW 100S.

WITH RELIEF NOT EXPECTED UNTIL POTENTIALLY EARLY NEXT WEEK .

MEANWHILE NEARLY 15,000 AIKEN -- ACRES IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA SCORCHED BY THE POST FIRE IN JUST 24 HOURS.

>> THIS IS A RELATIVELY FAST MOVING FIRE.

EVERYONE OF US IS CONCERNED ABOUT THE WIND.

>> EXPECTED TO REACH AS HIGH AS 60 MILES AN HOUR.

FORCING EVACUATION ORDERS FOR MORE THAN 1200 PEOPLE NORTHWEST OF LOS ANGELES.

MUCH OF THAT AREA WILL REMAIN UNDER RED FLAG ALERTS UNTIL TUESDAY NIGHT.

THE FIRE'S CAUSE IS STILL UNKNOWN.

>>> WHILE EXCESSIVE HEAT CAN POSE A HEALTH RISK TO EVERYONE, IT CAN BE ESPECIALLY HARD ON THE 25 MILLION AMERICANS THAT SUFFER FROM ASTHMA.

COMING UP WE WILL SHARE TIPS ON HOW TO AVOID BECOMING BREATHLESS THIS SUMMER.

>>> TEMPERATURES FALLING INTO THE 60s TONIGHT BUT THE WIND WILL FINALLY START TO DIE DOWN.

WE WILL SEE HOW THE CHANGES UNFOLD THROUGHOUT THE WEEK.

>>> FINANCIAL HELP IS COMING FOR THE SAN DIEGO COLLEGE OF CONTINUING EDUCATION AND ITS MAIN CAMPUS.

TODAY IT WAS ANNOUNCED THAT THERE WOULD BE $500,000 TO REBUILD THE EDUCATIONAL CULTURAL COMPLEX.

MANY OTHER HOMES AND BUSINESSES, THE SCHOOL IS STILL RECOVERING FROM THE JANUARY FLOOD.

AND WHILE THAT STORM IMPACTED ALL CAMPUSES, THE MAIN CAMPUS WAS HIT THE HARDEST.

>> THERE IS A LOT OF JOBS OUT THERE WHERE THESE TECHNICAL SKILLS ARE NECESSARY.

IF YOU DON'T HAVE A FACILITY LIKE THIS, PEOPLE FROM AROUND THE COMMUNITY MISS OUT.

FOR SOCIETY, WE NEED PEOPLE THAT ARE GOOD WELDERS AND AUTO MECHANICS.

>> THE MONEY CAME FROM FEDERAL FUNDS AND HE ALSO SAYS HE HELP -- HOPES A BOND CAN BE PESKY TO HELP THE CULTURAL COMPLEX IN THE FUTURE.

>>> TONIGHT, OUR EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW WITH THE NATIONAL SECURITY ADVISER, JAKE SULLIVAN AS HE TALKS ABOUT THE WARS IN GAZA AND UKRAINE.

COMING UP AFTER THE EVENING EDITION ON KPBS.

>>> THE REPUBLICAN NATIONAL CONVENTION IS QUICKLY APPROACHING BUT FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP'S RECENT COMMENTS ABOUT THE CITY OF MILWAUKEE HAVE ALREADY BEEN MAKING HEADLINES.

OUR WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENT HAS MORE.

>>> ACCORDING TO PEOPLE IN THE ROOM, THE FORMER PRESIDENT MADE SOME UNFLATTERING COMMENTS ABOUT MILWAUKEE DURING A CLOSED- DOOR MEETING WITH GOP MEMBERS OF CONGRESS LAST WEEK .

WHILE REPUBLICANS ARE LOOKING TO CLARIFY WHAT HE SAID, DEMOCRATS ARE HOPING TO SEIZE ON THE COMMENTS.

THIS AS BOTH TRUMP AND PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN TRY TO SECURE SUPPORT IN THIS KEY SWING STATE.

AFTER REPORTS SURFACED THAT DONALD TRUMP REFERRED TO MILWAUKEE AS A HORRIBLE CITY, SEVERAL REPUBLICANS TRY TO CLARIFY THE FORMER PRESIDENT'S COMMENTS.

>> HE WAS NOT TALKING ABOUT THE CITY BUT TALKING ABOUT SPECIFIC ISSUES IN THE CITY.

>> OTHERS SAID THEY DIDN'T HEAR IT.

>> I WAS LIKE, I NEVER HEARD THIS ONCE.

WHERE IS THIS COMING FROM?

>> DEMOCRATS ARE SEIZING ON THE REPORTED REMARKS.

THE DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL COMMITTEE RESPONDED BY LAUNCHING 10 BILLBOARDS ACROSS THE CITY FEATURING THE QUOTE AND PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN TOOK TO SOCIAL MEDIA WRITING, I HAPPEN TO LOVE MILWAUKEE.

THEY WILL HOST THE NATIONAL CONVENTION STARTING JULY 15th.

>> THIS IS A GREAT PLACE.

AND THE FORMER PRESIDENT AND EVERY REPUBLICAN THAT HAVE THE CHANCE TO COME TO THE CITY WILL SEE THAT.

>> THEY MILWAUKEE MAYOR SAID INSULTING THE HOME OF TENS OF THOUSANDS OF REPUBLICANS IN WISCONSIN COULD BE POLITICALLY COSTLY FOR THE FORMER PRESIDENT.

>> WHEN A STATE DECIDES ON A RAZOR'S EDGE, IT COULD ULTIMATELY COST DONALD TRUMP THE ELECTION.

>> WISCONSIN WILL BE AN IMPORTANT STATE IN NOVEMBER.

THESE TWO CANDIDATES ARE IN A NECK AND NECK RACE THERE.

BIDEN WON WISCONSIN IN 2020 BY ABOUT 5000 VOTES.

THE CAMPAIGN WAS PUSHED BACK BY THE CHARACTERIZATION OF HIS REMARKS.

AND LATER NEXT WEEK HE WILL ADDRESS A CITY NOT TOO FAR FROM MILWAUKEE AND COULD ADDRESS THOSE REPORTS.

>>> IN IMPERIAL COUNTY, AND ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE ORGANIZATION HAS LAUNCHED A NEW CHARGING STATION FOR ELECTRIC VEHICLES.

OUR IMPERIAL VALLEY REPORTER SAYS IT IS THE LATEST IN ITS EFFORTS TO IMPROVE THE REGION'S UNDERDEVELOPED NETWORK.

>> LAST WEEK THE LONGTIME ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE GROUP CELEBRATED THE LAUNCH OF ITS NEW PUBLIC CHARGING STATION.

IT IS IN A SMALL CITY ON THE NORTH END OF IMPERIAL COUNTY.

IT HAS FOUR HIGH-SPEED ELECTRIC CHARGES THAT CAN CHARGE MANY ELECTRIC VEHICLES UP TO 80% IN LESS THAN AN HOUR.

COLEADERS SAY IT IS A NEEDED STEP BECAUSE THE IMPERIAL VALLEY IS CONSIDERED AN AV CHARGING DESERT.

THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR -- >> IMPERIAL VALLEY AS UNDERSERVED COMMUNITIES AND DESERVE ACCESS TO CLEAN TECHNOLOGIES AND ALSO SUPPORTING THE BROADER GOAL OF ACCESS TO EV INFRASTRUCTURE ACROSS CALIFORNIA'S RURAL COMMUNITIES.

>> THE CHARGING STATIONS COULD BE PART OF A MUCH LARGER TRANSFORMATION.

RESEARCHERS CONFIRM THAT THE VALLEY IS HOME TO LARGE RESERVES OF LITHIUM.

THAT IS A KEY PART OF LITHIUM BATTERIES.

SOME STATE OFFICIALS SAY THAT THEY ARE MOVING PART OF THE GOAL CLOSER TO REALITY.

THE CALIFORNIA SECRETARY OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION -- >> -- WE CAN ACTUALLY BEGIN TO ADDRESS THE FACT THAT THE UPTAKE OF ZERO EMISSION VEHICLES IN IMPERIAL COUNTY WAS THE LOWEST IN THE STATE.

>> THEY HOPE TO BUILD AT LEAST 18 MORE CHARGING STATIONS IN THE COMING MONTHS.

>>> WIND GRABER'S IN CALIFORNIA ARE ASKING THE COMMUNITY FOR HELP IN KEEPING THE STATES VINEYARDS SAFE.

THEY ARE WARNING ABOUT AN INVASIVE SPECIES CALLED THE LANTERN FLY.

>> Reporter: AARON'S FAMILY BEGAN FARMING IN WHAT IS NOW SAN JOAQUIN COUNTY, BACK IN THE LATE 1880S.

THESE GRAPES WILL BECOME WINE FOR THE WINERIES AND VINEYARDS AND BELIEVES THAT CALIFORNIA VINEYARDS ARE PART OF THE STATE'S CHARACTER AND MUST BE KEPT SAFE.

>> WE ARE LOOKING FOR A SPECKLED LIGHT THROUGH THE CANOPY.

THAT ALLOWS SUNLIGHT TO GET ON EACH ONE OF THOSE CLUSTERS.

>> HE WORRIES THAT IN THE MONTHS AND YEARS TO COME, PAST ONLY KNOWN SO FAR TO BE ON THE EAST COAST COULD INFILTRATE CALIFORNIA VINEYARDS LIKE HIS IF THE PUBLIC AND COMMUNITY ARE NOT CAREFUL.

>> I WOULD BE LOOKING INSIDE MY CANOPY AND LOOKING FOR ONE OF THESE LIFESTAGES.

>> THE TROUBLESOME SPOTTED LANTERN FLY HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED IN NORTHEASTERN STATES.

ACCORDING TO THE DEPARTMENT OF FOOD AND AGRICULTURE, LIVE LANTERN FLIES HAVE NOT BEEN FOUND IN CALIFORNIA TO DATE.

IT FEEDS ON TREES AND IS KNOWN TO LOVE GRAPES AND CAN CAUSE CONSIDERABLE DAMAGE TO VINEYARDS.

CONCERN ABOUT THE PAST HAS GROWN SINCE OFFICIALS FOUND EGG MASSES AT AN AGRICULTURAL INSPECTION STATION IN TRUCKEE IN MARCH.

A SPOKESPERSON CONFIRMED THE FINDING AND WENT ON TO SAY, CD FA PERFORMS A STATEWIDE SURVEY FOR THE INSECTS IN LATE SUMMER/EARLY FALL AND IT COINCIDES WITH PEAK ACTIVITY.

THE SURVEY HAS BEEN CONDUCTED ANNUALLY FOR THE PAST SEVERAL YEARS WITHOUT DETECTION.

>> WE ARE COMPLETELY DEPENDENT ON VISUAL INSPECTION.

>> MEMBERS OF THE CALIFORNIA ASSOCIATION OF WINE GRAPE GROWERS WANT PEOPLE TO KNOW WHAT THEY LOOK LIKE, THE PROBLEMS THEY CAN CAUSE AND WHAT TO DO IF YOU HAVE SPOTTED ONE.

>> A COULD LOOK LIKE A SMUDGE OF MUD ON THE SIDE OF A SMOOTH SURFACE.

>> WHILE THEY HAVE YET TO BE SPOTTED IN THE STATE, EVERYONE MUST BE PROACTIVE TO KEEP THEM FROM COMING.

>> THIS IS PART OF CALIFORNIA'S IDENTITY AND WE NEED TO DO WHAT WE CAN TO PROTECT THAT.

>>> THE SURGEON GENERAL IS DEMANDING A WARNING LABEL ON SOCIAL MEDIA APPS AND THE THREAT THEY POSE TO CHILDREN.

THIS AS HALF OF U.S.

ADULTS SAY THEY GET THEIR NEWS FROM SOCIAL MEDIA AT LEAST SOME OF THE TIME.

WE HAVE MORE FROM LOS ANGELES.

>> Reporter: AMERICAN SAY THAT GETTING THEIR NEWS IS WHY -- NOT WHY THEY TURNED TO SOCIAL MEDIA BUT NEWS KEEPS FINDING THEM THERE.

>> IT IS FAST AND CONVENIENT.

>> MOST NEWS CONSUMERS ON FACEBOOK, INSTAGRAM, TIKTOK AND X REPORTS SEEN IN ACCURATE NEWS AT LEAST SOMETIMES BUT X AND FACEBOOK USERS ARE MOST LIKELY TO SAY THEY SEE NEWS THAT IS INACCURATE OFTEN.

>> THERE IS A DIFFERENT LEVEL OF EXPECTATIONS ON THESE PLATFORMS.

>> A STUDY ALSO FOUND THAT DEMOCRATS SEEM TO BE MORE SKEPTICAL OF INFORMATION ON X WHILE REPUBLICANS ARE MORE SKEPTICAL OF FACEBOOK.

>> A KEY QUESTION IS WHO IS THE AUTHOR, WHO MADE THIS?

THE QUESTION THAT FOLLOWS UP IS WHY?

WHAT IS THE PURPOSE?

JUST BECAUSE THEY KNOW HOW TO USE THE TECHNOLOGY, IT DOESN'T MEAN THEY UNDERSTAND THE CONSEQUENCES >> THE U.S.

SURGEON GENERAL DEMANDING CONGRESS AT A WARNING LABEL ON SOCIAL MEDIA APPS FOR THE THREAT THEY POSE TO CHILDREN.

>> NOT ONLY HAVE COMPANIES NOT DEMONSTRATED THEY ARE SAFE FOR KIDS BUT THERE IS GROWING EVIDENCE OF HARM AND A WARNING LABEL WOULD HELP PARENTS UNDERSTAND THESE RISKS.

MANY PARENTS DON'T KNOW THEY EXIST.

>> BUT ADVOCATES SAY LEGISLATION IS NO SUBSTITUTE FOR EDUCATION.

>> IT IS NEVER ENOUGH.

YOUNG PEOPLE NEED TO HAVE THE SKILLS THEMSELVES.

>> CONGRESS IS CONSIDERING REGULATION INCLUDING THE KIDS ONLINE SAFETY ACT WHICH AIMS TO PUT THE SAFETY OF KIDS ONLINE ON THE TEXT COMPANIES THAT RUN THOSE SOCIAL PLATFORMS.

MEANWHILE PARENTS AND EDUCATORS ARE URGED TO KEEP THEIR KIDS SAFE ONLINE AND SPEAK TO THEM ABOUT THE HARMS OF SOCIAL MEDIA.

>>> AROUND 25 MILLION PEOPLE IN THE U.S. HAVE ASTHMA AND THUNDERSTORMS IN SUMMER WEATHER CAN WORSEN SYMPTOMS.

ANDY GAITHER HAS MORE ON THE IMPACTS THAT SEVERE WEATHER CAN HAVE ON THOSE WITH ASTHMA.

>>> SPRING AND FALL GET A LOT OF SLACK FOR WORSENING SYMPTOMS OF ASTHMA BUT THE SUMMER CAUSES CONCERNS, TOO.

>> THE HUMIDITY AND WIND ASSOCIATED WITH THUNDERSTORMS BREAK THOSE POLLENS INTO VERY SMALL PARTICLES.

>> DR. LORI MAIKO SAYS RESEARCH SHOWS THAT ASTHMA SUFFERERS ARE AT INCREASED WRIST -- RISK OF NEEDING TO GO TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM DURING SEVERE WEATHER.

>> IF SOMEBODY HAS ASTHMA, TRYING TO REALLY DO SOME REFLECTION ON WHAT SEEMS TO BE THE TRIGGERS, IS IT TRIGGERED BY ALLERGY, DO YOU HAVE ASSOCIATED INFLAMMATION OF THE SINUSES RELATED TO ALLERGY?

>> IF YOU HAVE ALLERGIES, REDUCE EXPOSURE BY STAYING INDOORS AND TAKE ALLERGY OR ASTHMA MEDICINE AS PRESCRIBED.

AVOID TOUCHING YOUR EYES, SHOWER AND CHANGE CLOTHES AFTER BEING OUTDOORS TO REMOVE POLLEN AND KEEP WINDOWS CLOSED.

ALSO FREQUENTLY CHECK THE FORECASTS.

>> KNOWING WHERE TO FIND POLLEN COUNTS, AIR QUALITY INDEX REPORTS IN YOUR AREA TO SEE WHAT IT IS LIKE OUTSIDE BEFORE YOU GO OUTSIDE.

>> SHE SAYS TO GO OVER BEST TREATMENT OPTIONS WITH YOUR DOCTOR AND FORMULATE A PLAN ON WHAT TO DO IF SYMPTOMS INCREASE.

>>> AS WE HEAD THROUGH THE UPCOMING DAYS, NOT MUCH OF A CHANGE TO OUR JUNE GLOOM PATTERN.

SOME OF THE MARINE LAYER WILL EASE OFF BUT IT WILL ULTIMATELY MAKE ITS WAY THROUGH THE COAST AND VALLEYS.

AS YOU LOOK TOWARDS THE MOUNTAINS, WE'VE HAD SOME GUSTY WINDS.

THOSE ARE EASING DOWN AS WE SPEAK.

HOPEFULLY WE CAN EASE SOME OF THE FIRE RISK.

BUT THERE STILL CAN BE SMOKY SKIES COMING INTO THE MOUNTAINS AND DESERTS IN SOME SPOTS.

BEYOND THAT, THE BIG STORY WILL BE THE HEAT TILTING THROUGH THE DESERTS AS WE MAKE IT THROUGH THE LATE WEEK, WEEKEND AND INTO NEXT WEEK.

IT WILL BE AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF WARMTH.

TONIGHT, GOING DOWN TO 62 AND 61 DEGREES FOR OCEANSIDE.

TUESDAY AS A PATTERN HOLDING ON WITH A COOLER POCKET OF AIR DRIVING THROUGH SOME OF THE NORTHWESTERN U.S. AND TRYING TO PUSH INTO THE PLANES.

THAT WILL KEEP THE HEAT OUT OF PLACES LIKE SALT LAKE CITY BUT ALSO WILL BE A WINDIER SET UP FOR SOME ACROSS THE SOUTHWEST.

SO YOU DO WANT TO USE CAUTION IF YOU ARE TRAVELING ANYWHERE.

THROUGH TOMORROW'S FORECAST, 102 IN BORREGO SPRINGS, SAN DIEGO, IN THE LOWER 70s.

OCEANSIDE COMING IN AT 74 AND RAMONA AT 82.

OUR TREND FOR THE COAST KEEPS MORNING CLOUDS AND THEN GETTING INTO MORE SUNSHINE, HOLDING ONTO THE 70s WITH REALLY NO CHANGES THROUGH THE WEEKEND.

IN LAND, IN THE UPPER 70s, IF NOT, LOWER 80s FOR A GOOD CHUNK OF THE WORK WEEK.

STILL STARTING OFF WITH MORNING CLOUDS, GIVING WAY TO MORE AFTERNOON SUNSHINE.

UP THROUGH THE 70s IN THE MOUNTAINS AND EVEN PUNCH INTO THE 80s BY THE WEEKEND.

THE CHALLENGE WILL BE FOR DESERT COMMUNITIES AS WE VENTURE INTO THE UPPER 100 RANGE, TOWARDS 110 AND COULD EVEN GET INTO THE ONE TENDS INTO NEXT WEEK.

>>> IT IS BECOMING EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE TO RETIRE IN THE UNITED STATES.

BECAUSE OF THAT, MORE AMERICANS ARE LOOKING TO RETIRE ABROAD.

AS GOOD AS IT SOUNDS TO RETIRE ON A WHITE SANDY BEACH, THE SIMPLE LIFE MAY ACTUALLY INCLUDE A LOT OF RED TAPE.

>> Reporter: OVER THE LAST 30 YEARS THE NUMBER OF AMERICANS LOOKING TO SETTLE OUTSIDE OF THE UNITED STATES HAS TRIPLED ACCORDING TO A 2024 POLL.

>> IT IS MORE AFFORDABLE THAN IT USED TO BE.

>> THE NUMBER OF SOCIAL SECURITY RECIPIENTS INCREASED FROM 307,000 IN 2008 TO MORE THAN 450,000 IN 2022.

LEADING SOME COUNTRIES TO EASE VISA REQUIREMENTS FOR RETIREES.

>> RETIREES FROM THE U.S. OFTEN BRING WITH THEM MONEY THAT CAN SUPPORT THE LOCAL ECONOMY.

>> JENNIFER STEPHENS SAYS THAT THERE COULD BE A RANGE OF BENEFITS IN OVERSEAS RETIREMENT.

>> THE PACE OF LIFE COULD BE A LOT SLOWER THAN IT IS IN THE UNITED STATES.

AND BECAUSE THE COST OF HEALTHCARE IS SO MUCH LOWER, PEOPLE HAVE THE FLEXIBILITY TO BREATHE A SIGH OF RELIEF.

>> BUT GETTING TO THE SIMPLE LIFE CAN BE COMPLICATED.

AARP SUGGESTS COMING UP WITH ESTATE PLANNING, CURRENCY AND INVESTMENTS BEFORE MAKING THE LEAP.

>> PLANNING FOR MEDICAL CARE AND TAX PREP IS IMPORTANT.

PLANNING FOR LEGAL SITUATIONS IS ALSO IMPORTANT.

>> IF YOU CAN GET THROUGH THE ADMINISTRATIVE HASSLE, THE MOST ACCESSIBLE SHOULD KEEP AN OPEN MIND.

>> GO WITH THE IDEA THAT IT IS AN ADVENTURE AND YOU NEED TO BE OPEN TO THE FACT THAT NO PLACE WILL BE LIKE THE UNITED STATES.

>>> TWO NORTH COUNTY WOMEN ARE RECLAIMING HEALTH AND WELLNESS PRACTICES FOR PEOPLE OF COLOR THAT ARE QUEER.

>> I AM ALYSSA.

>> I AM TONY.

WE ARE THE SULTRY SISTERS.

>> THEY HAVE LONG LOVED HEALTH AND WELLNESS BUT WHEN THEY WENT TO CONFERENCES AND WORKSHOPS THE LEADERS WERE USUALLY WHITE EVEN THOUGH THEY WERE TEACHING THINGS LIKE YOGA AND BURNING SAGE.

>> WHEN YOU THINK OF ALL THE DIFFERENT WELLNESS PRACTICES, THEY ARE ROOTED IN INDIGENOUS COMMUNITIES.

>> THE PEOPLE WHOSE ANCESTORS CREATED THESE PRACTICES OFTEN CAN'T AFFORD THE WORKSHOPS TO LEARN THEM.

>> WELLNESS IN CALIFORNIA IS POPULAR BUT IT COMES WITH A HIGH PRICE TAG.

>> SO THEY CREATED THEIR OWN COMMUNITY IN 2019.

THIS WILL BE THEIR THIRD SUMMER SOLSTICE FESTIVAL.

>> A LOT OF TIMES AFTER THE FESTIVAL THEY WILL SAY, I DIDN'T REALIZE THIS WAS OUR THING.

SO IT'S LIKE, FOR US TO HEAR THE UNLEARNING OF WHAT IS FOR US, WHAT IS BIAS.

>> IT IS ESPECIALLY NEEDED IN NORTH COUNTY WHERE IT CAN BE HARDER FOR PEOPLE OF COLOR TO FIND COMMUNITY.

THE FESTIVAL IS THEMED RECLAIMING ANCESTRAL HEALING AND TICKETS START AT $40 AND ARE ON A SLIDING SCALE.

SCHOLARSHIPS ARE AVAILABLE.

IT WILL INCLUDE PERFORMANCES, WORKSHOPS AND FOOD.

INSIDE CARLSBAD'S NEW VILLAGE ARTS, THE SISTERS PREPARED AN ALTAR.

IN THE CENTER ARE PHOTOS OF THEIR FAMILY.

THERE IS A BOWL OF LEAVES FOR SMUDGING AND ASSEMBLE REFLECTING ON THE PAST TO GUIDE ITS NEXT STEPS.

>> HERE IS A LOOK AT WHAT WE ARE WORKING ON FOR TOMORROW IN OUR NEWSROOM.

MORNING EDITION IS TALKING ABOUT THE EXTREME HEAT IN MUCH OF THE U.S.
