BROUGHT TO YOU BY THE CONRAD PREBYS FOUNDATION, DARLENE MARCOS SHILEY, AND BY THE FOLLOWING, AND BY VIEWERS LIKE YOU, THANK YOU.

>> GRAY POPULAR DELAWARE BEACH CLOSE TODAY FOLLOWING A SHARK ATTACK THAT HAPPENED ON SUNDAY MORNING, SENDING A SWIMMER TO THE HOSPITAL.

RESEARCHERS ARE TRYING TO FIND OUT MORE ABOUT THE SHARK.>> IT WAS A RARE SIGHT, A NOT A SWIMMER OR SERVER IN THE WATER.

THE WATER REMAINED CLOSED TO THE PUBLIC TODAY, FOLLOWING A SHARK ATTACK ON SUNDAY MORNING.

A 46-YEAR-OLD MAN WAS SWIMMING ABOUT 100 YARDS OFFSHORE WIND WAS BIT BY A SHARK IN THE TORSO, LEFT ARM, AND HAND.

HE WAS TRANSPORTED TO A NEARBY HOSPITAL, AND IS EXPECTED TO SURVIVE.

RESEARCHERS SAY THE ATTACK IS A RARE OCCASION, BUT SIGHTINGS OF SHARKS AT THIS BEACH ARE NOT.

SO THIS HAS BEEN AN AGGREGATION SITE FOR ALMOST FIVE YEARS NOW.

THIS IS THE TIME OF YEAR FEMALE WHITE SHARKS ARE COMING BACK TO SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA AND GIVING BIRTH TO THEIR YOUNG, WE DON'T KNOW WHERE, WE JUST KNOW THOSE BABIES SHOW UP AT OUR BEACHES.

THE AIR COMPLETELY ON THEIR OWN.>> THE PROFESSOR OF MARINE BIOLOGY IS ALSO A DIRECTOR OF THE SHARK LAB.

THE LAB WAS GIVEN FUNDING TO STUDY JUVENILE WHITE SHARKS OFF BEACHES.

>> THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE USING THOSE BEACHES, FROM CELANO DOWN TO TORREY PINES, AND WE KNOW THERE'S BEEN UP TO 50 JUVENILE WHITE SHARKS USING THOSE AREAS OF THE SAME TIME.

>> THE SHARKS CAN BE SWIMMING - - THE SHARKS CAN BE SEEN SWIMMING ALONG SWIMMERS AND SURFERS, MINDING THEIR OWN BUSINESS.

YOU WOULD THINK THE PROBABILITY OF BITES WOULD BE MUCH HIGHER.

IT'S UNFORTUNATE, AND WE FEEL REALLY BAD FOR THE PERSON WHO HAS BEEN BITTEN, IT'S INCREDIBLY RARE.

THE SHARK LAB IS TRYING TO FIND OUT WHAT HAPPENED, AND WHAT THE SUSPECT IS.

AND WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO MATCH DNA FROM THE WETSUIT WITH DNA EXTRACTED FROM THE WATER, AND IF SO, IT WILL BE THE FIRST TIME IT HAS EVER BEEN DONE.

WE JUST DON'T KNOW IF THERE IS ENOUGH DNA PRESIDENT - - WE DON'T KNOW IF THERE IS ENOUGH DNA PRESENT.>> THE DNA WILL HELP DETERMINE THE AGE OF THE SHARK, AND WHETHER IT IS JUST PASSING THROUGH DELMAR, OR STAYING AROUND.

THAT WILL TAKE SOME TIME TO DETERMINE.

IN THE MEANTIME, THE BEACH OFF 17th ST. WILL REMAIN CLOSED UNTIL TUESDAY MORNING.

LIFEGUARD ADVISE SWIMMING IN GROUPS, NEAR TOWERS, AND BE AWARE OF YOUR SURROUNDINGS.

TONYA THORNE, KPBS NEWS.>> THOUSANDS OF ACADEMIC WORKERS AT UC SAN DIEGO ARE ON STRIKE TODAY MEMBERS JOINED STATEWIDE WALKOUTS AGAINST THE UC SYSTEM.

OUR KPBS EDUCATION REPORTER WENT BACK ON CAMPUS FOR THE LATEST ROUND OF PROTESTS FOR PALESTINIANS.>> IT HAS BEEN JUST LESS THAN A MONTH, BUT FOR THESE SAN DIEGO ACADEMIC WORKERS, THE MEMORIES ARE FRESH.

>> VIOLATING OUR HUMAN RIGHTS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE.

>> I AM HERE TO DEMAND AMNESTY FOR PROTESTERS, AND FOR UC DIVESTMENTS FROM THE ISRAELI WAR MACHINE.>> IN A SIGN OF THE TIMES, 8000 UCSD ACADEMIC RESEARCHERS, POSTDOCTORAL SCHOLARS AND GRADUATE STUDENT WORKERS ARE ON STRIKE, BECAUSE OF WHAT THEY CALL UNFAIR LABOR PRACTICES.

THEY ARE ALL MEMBERS OF THE UAW LOCAL 4811, AND THIS MORNING, THEY JOINED FELLOW UNION MEMBERS FROM UC CAMPUSES ACROSS THE STATE.>> UNFAIR LABOR PRACTICES INCLUDE THREATENING THE HEALTH AND SAFETY OF WORKERS, UNILATERAL CHANGES TO UNIVERSITY POLICY, INTIMIDATING WORKERS FROM PARTICIPATING IN THE STRIKE.

>> LAST MONTH, SEEMS LIKE THIS IN THE SHADOW OF THE LIBRARY HAPPENED ON MANY CAMPUSES, WHERE STUDENTS CREATED GAZA CITED VERDI ENCAMPMENTS, WHICH WERE TORN DOWN BY POLICE, LEADING TO ARRESTS, AND STUDENT CONDUCT CHARGES, AND SOMETIMES, VIOLENCE.>> THE UNIVERSITY IS TRYING TO DISCIPLINE PEOPLE.

PROTESTS ARE SUSPENDED AT UC IRVINE, THEY ARE NOT ALLOWED ON CAMPUS.

THE UNIVERSITY IS TRYING TO SUPPRESS PROTESTS.

>> THE CIRCLES OF PICKET LINES CONTINUE TO GROW, UC SAN DIEGO - - UC SANTA BARBARA UNION MEMBERS ALSO WENT ON STRIKE TODAY, UC IRVINE IS SET TO JOIN THE STRIKE ON WEDNESDAY.

HERE AT UCSD, THE STRIKE COMES DURING THE LAST WEEK OF INSTRUCTION, VINYL START ON SATURDAY, AND GRADUATION IS JUNE 15.

THE TIMING IS AN INTENTIONAL STRATEGY.

IN A WRITTEN STATEMENT, UC SAN DIEGO SAID IN PART OUR POSITION IS THAT UAW IS ENGAGING IN AN ILLEGAL STRIKE, IN VIOLATION OF THE CONTRACT MUTUALLY AGREED NO STRIKE CLAUSES, BECAUSE OF ISSUES THAT HAVE NO BEARING ON EMPLOYMENT.

THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA DEMONSTRATION SAYS THE GOAL TO MAXIMIZE CHAOS AND CONFUSION HAS COME TO FRUITION, CREATING SUBSTANTIAL AND IRREPARABLE IMPACT ON CAMPUSES, AND IMPACTING STUDENTS AT A CRUCIAL TIME OF THEIR EDUCATION.

BY THE END OF THE WEEK, 31,000 UNION ACADEMIC WORKERS ACROSS THE STATE ARE EXPECTED TO BE ON STRIKE.>> PROTESTING IS OUR RIGHT.>> KPBS NEWS.

TO THIS AFTERNOON, THE CALIFORNIA PUBLIC IMPLEMENT RELATIONS BOARD DENIED FOR THE SECOND TIME A REQUEST FOR AN INJUNCTION TO STOP ALL CAMPUS STRIKES, ALLOWING THEM TO CONTINUE.

>> LOOKING AHEAD TO TONIGHT, AROUND SAN DIEGO, WE ARE DROPPING DOWN TO A LOW AROUND 16 DEGREES THE LOW CLOUDS NEAR THE COAST, SO A HEADS UP IF YOU ARE GOING TO BE OUT LATE WERE UP EARLY, YOU MAY RUN INTO LOWER VISIBILITY AND TRICKY CHILD TRAVEL.

IT'S NOT THE TEMPERATURES THAT WE ARE CONCERNED ABOUT ON THE COAST, IT'S AREAS FURTHER INLAND, THAT'S WHERE THINGS ARE REALLY STARTING TO HEAT UP.

WE WILL TELL YOU HOW HOT THINGS ARE GOING TO GET.

>>> MEX GAMETE HISTORY ON SUNDAY, BUT ELECTING A FEMALE PRESIDENT FOR THE FIRST TIME.

OUR BORDER REPORTER SAYS ELECTION DAY IN SAN DIEGO HAD ITS SHARE OF CHALLENGES.>> THIS IS HOW IT STARTED.

[ MUSIC ] A CELEBRATION OF MEXICAN DEMOCRACY, HUNDREDS GATHERED AT THE MEXICAN CONSULATE IN LITTLE ITALY, WAITING FOR THEIR TURN TO VOTE, AND THIS IS HOW IT ENDED.

[ MUSIC ] FRUSTRATION, AND CHANTING.

WE WANT TO VOTE, WE WANT TO VOTE, PEOPLE WHO WAITED SEVEN, EIGHT, EVEN NINE HOURS ON SUNDAY AND STILL HAD NOT CAST A BALLOT.

[ SPEAKING NON-ENGLISH ]>> SHE WAITED SEVEN HOURS, AND WAS NOT ABLE TO VOTE.>> THERE WERE NOT ENOUGH BALLOTS, PEOPLE WERE ANGRY, SOME PEOPLE COULDN'T VOTE FOR EIGHT HOURS.>> THAT'S THE DIRECTOR FOR THE CENTER FOR U.S. AND MEXICO STUDIES.

DESPITE THE PICKUP, HE SAYS IT WAS A HISTORIC DAY FOR MEXICAN DEMOCRACY.

THE CANDIDATE, CLAUDIA SHEINBAUM WON BY A LANDSLIDE OVER XOCHITL GALVEZ .

SHE WILL BE THE FIRST FEMALE PRESIDENT IN MEXICAN HISTORY.

SHE IS A CLOSE ALLY OF THE CURRENT PRESIDENT, AND BENEFITED FROM THE POLICIES HELD BY PRESIDENT ANDRES MANUEL LOPEZ OBRADOR.

THE ADMIN STATION HAS DOUBLED THE MINIMUM WAGE, OFFERED CASH DISTRIBUTION FOR POORER COMMUNITIES, AND CREATED SOCIAL PROGRAMS FOR ELDERLY AMERICANS.

NOW THEY SEE THE REAL WORK BEGINS.>> WE NEED TO IMPROVE HEALTH ISSUES IN MEXICO, WE NEED TO IMPROVE THE SYSTEM.

>> IN TIJUANA, VOTERS LINED UP WITH COLORFUL BALLOTS.

UNLIKE THE UNITED STATES, THERE ARE MORE THAN TWO POLITICAL PARTIES, AND PEOPLE DO NOT GET THE I VOTED STICKER.

INSTEAD, THEY GET SEMIPERMANENT INK STAMPED ON THEIR THUMB, MEANT TO ASSURE THAT PEOPLE DON'T VOTE MORE THAN ONCE.

WE SPOKE TO ONE OF THE VOTERS IN TIJUANA.

HE'S WONDERING HOW THE ELECTION WILL IMPACT U.S. AND MEXICO RELATIONS.

[ SPEAKING NON-ENGLISH ] THE SIX-YEAR TERM WILL BEGIN OCTOBER 1.

>>> A GROUP CAMPAIGNING AT TWO REPLACE SAN DIEGO GAS AND ELECTRIC HAS OFFICIALLY GATHERED MORE THAN 24,000 SIGNATURES.

OUR REPORTER SAYS THAT MEANS THE CITY COUNCIL WILL HAVE TO VOTE ON WHETHER TO PUT THE MEASURE ON NOVEMBER BALLOTS.>> THE POWER SAN DIEGO CAMPAIGN WANTS TO REPLACE THEM WITH A NONPROFIT, MUNICIPAL ELECTRIC UTILITY.

THEY SAY IT WOULD LOWER RATES FOR CUSTOMERS, AND ENCOURAGE THE USE OF SOLAR POWER.

>> THE OVERARCHING ISSUE IS THAT WE HAVE NO CONTROL OVER THESE ACTIVITIES, AND THAT IS REFLECTED IN US PAYING THE HIGHEST RATES IN THE NATION, AND US SEEING THEM ACHIEVE THE HIGHEST RECORD-BREAKING PROFIT LEVELS EVER THROUGH UTILITY, THROUGH WAS A TAX ON ROOFTOP SOLAR, ASSOCIATED BATTERY STORAGE.

>> LAST MONTH, THE CAMPAIGN TURNED IN 31,000 SIGNATURES.

THEY NEEDED 24,006 SIGNATURES, THAT'S 3% OF THE REGISTERED VOTERS.

ON FRIDAY, THE CITY CLERK SAID 24,167 SIGNATURES WERE VERIFIED.

ACCORDING TO THE MUNICIPAL CODE, THAT'S ENOUGH TO PROMPT THE CITY COUNCIL TO VOTE ON WHETHER OR NOT TO PUT IT ON THE NOVEMBER BALLOT.

IN APRIL, THE CITY COUNCIL RULES COMMITTEE DECLINED TO MOVE THE BALLOT INITIATIVE FORWARD.>> I HAVE NO LOVE FOR CORPORATE MONOPOLIES REACHING INTO THE POCKETS OF EVERYDAY WORKING PEOPLE, BUT THIS IS A VERY COMPLEX AND IMPORTANT ISSUE, I DON'T THINK THIS IS ENOUGH TO GO TO THE VOTERS.

>> EIGHTH THIRD FUNDED STUDY IS UNDERWAY.

PREVIOUS STUDIES ESTIMATE THE VALUES OF UTILITY INFRASTRUCTURE BETWEEN $1.6 BILLION AND $4.3 BILLION.

POWER SAN DIEGO SAYS THE PURPOSE OF THE STRUCTURE WOULD BE PAID OFF BY CUSTOMERS.

THEY SAY IF THE UTILITY WERE CITY-OWNED, CUSTOMERS WOULD STILL SEE A 20% REDUCTION IN ELECTRIC BILLS.

SDG&E SAYS THERE STRUCTURE IS WORTH MORE, UP TO $9.3 BILLION.

THEY ARE ALSO FUNDING A POLITICAL ACTION COMMITTEE, TO OPPOSE THE BALLOT INITIATIVE.

>>> SAN DIEGO IS ONE OF THREE CITIES IN CALIFORNIA CHOSEN FOR A GRANT PROGRAM THAT AIMS TO RECONNECT AMENITIES DIVIDED BY FREEWAYS.

ANDREW BOWEN SAYS HUNTING FOR THE PROGRAM IS IN JEOPARDY.>> WE ARE IN THE HEART OF MOUNTAIN VIEW.>> I'M WALKING WITH LESLIE REYNOLDS, BY THE JACKIE ROBINSON FAMILY YMCA.

LESLIE IS THE DIRECTOR OF A NONPROFIT THAT IS DEVELOPING PLANS TO RESTORE NATIVE HABITATS HERE, AND TO BUILD A WALKING AND BIKING TRAIL ALONG INTERSTATE 805.

EVENTUALLY THAT TRAIL IS MEANT TO FOLLOW THE CREEK ALL THE WAY TO SAN DIEGO BAY.>> YOU FIND PEOPLE DISPLACED BY INTERSTATE 5, INTERSTATE 15, INTERSTATE 94, NONE OF THESE COMMUNITIES HAD ANY VOICE WHEN THE FREEWAYS WERE PUT IN.

>> HALF A CENTURY AFTER CALTRANS BUILT SAN DIEGO'S FREEWAY NETWORK, SURROUNDING RESIDENTS HAVE BEEN LEFT WITH A DEAFENING NOISE POLLUTION.

THAT IS LINKED TO HIGHER RATES OF DEMENTIA, AND A HIGH RISK OF ASTHMA AND HEART DISEASE FROM THE AIR POLLUTION.>> THERE ARE CHILDREN WHO CANNOT GET TO THE YMCA ON THE STRIP IN HERE, BECAUSE THERE ARE NO SAFE ROUTES, NO SAFE ROUTES TO SCHOOLS, CHURCHES, OR OTHER GATHERING PLACES AND COMMUNITIES.

THE DEVASTATION HAS BEEN TREMENDOUS ON ALL OF THESE COMMUNITIES DIVIDED BY THESE FREEWAYS.

>> THIS IS WHY THE STATE GOVERNMENT CREATED THAT RECONNECTING COMMUNITIES GRANT PROGRAM, MEANT TO FUND PEDESTRIAN BRIDGES, AND EVEN WORKING TO REMOVE OR RE- ENGINEER FREEWAYS, TO STITCH COMMUNITIES BACK TOGETHER, AND HELP THEM HEAL.

IN MARCH, CALTRANS ANNOUNCED SAN DIEGO AS ONE OF THREE CITIES CHOSEN FOR THE PROGRAM, BUT UNDER THE LATEST BUDGET PROPOSAL, THE CONNECTING COMMUNITIES GRANT PROGRAM WOULD BE CUT TO $50 MILLION, ONE THIRD OF ITS ORIGINAL SIZE.

SAN DIEGO'S SHARE OF FUNDING IS STILL UNCLEAR.>> ALWAYS DISAPPOINTMENT THAT THE COMMUNITIES OF CONCERN AND UP COMPETING AGAINST EACH OTHER FOR LIMITED FUNDS, REALLY WE NEED TO BE ASPIRING TO EQUITABLE INVESTMENT, TO CREATE SOME COURT OF EQUALITY WITH RESOURCES THAT ARE ABUNDANT IN OTHER COMMUNITIES.

>> THE GOVERNOR AND STATE LAWMAKERS HAVE UNTIL JUNE 15 TO ADOPT A BUDGET THAT CLOSES AN ESTIMATED DEFICIT OF $27 BILLION.

>>> A NEW REPORT IS SHINING A LIGHT ON THE CHALLENGES THOSE IN THE LGBTQ PLUS COMMUNITY FACE WHEN IT COMES TO CANCER PREVENTION AND TREATMENT.

AS MANDY REPORTS, THE AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY SAYS THIS POPULATION IS LIGHTLY LIKELY AT A HIGH RISK FOR CANCER.>> AND WHAT IT CALLS A FIRST OF ITS KIND STUDY, THE AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY COMPILED CANCER STATISTICS SPECIFICALLY FOR THOSE WHO IDENTIFY AS LGBTQ PLUS.>> WE DON'T REALLY HAVE INFORMATION ABOUT MORBIDITY AND MORTALITY FOR THE LGBTQ POPULATION, IT'S NOT CAPTURED THAT WAY, WE DON'T HAVE SEXUAL PREFERENCES OR CAPTURED MENTALITY DATA.

>> RESEARCHERS WERE ABLE TO ASK TO ASCERTAIN CANCER RISK FOR THE COMMUNITY, AND FOUND LGBTQ PLUS INDIVIDUALS ARE LIKELY AT A HIGHER RISK FOR CANCER DUE TO THEIR FEAR OF BEING TURNED AWAY FROM CARE, AND DISCRIMINATION WITHIN THE HEALTHCARE COMMUNITY.

RESEARCHERS SAY 30% OF MEDICAL STUDENTS SURVEYED SAY THEY ARE NOT COMFORTABLE TREATING TRANSGENDER PATIENTS.

>> IN SOME STATES, HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS BASED ON RELIGIOUS OR PERSONAL PREFERENCES CAN REFUSE TO SEE CERTAIN POPULATIONS.

FOR US, IT IS REALLY A HORRIFYING THOUGHT.

>> RESEARCHERS SAY THESE INDIVIDUALS ARE ALSO MORE LIKELY TO SMOKE, HAVE EXCESS BODY WEIGHT, AND USE ALCOHOL HEAVILY, WHICH ALSO ADDS TO CANCER RISKS.>> WE HOPE TO INCREASE GREATER UNDERSTANDING AND CREATE A GREATER ABILITY TO TARGET PREVENTION AND SCREENING.>> AND THE AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY SAYS THIS STUDY IS JUST A FIRST STEP, THE ORGANIZATION HOPES TO CONTINUE RESEARCH AND HOPES TO FURTHER UNDERSTAND THE CANCER RISK.>>> A NEW PROGRAM IS BUYING PRODUCE FROM LOCAL FARMERS, AND TO UNDERSTAND THE IMPACT, OUR REPORTER FOLLOWED A RADISH FROM GROUNDS TO GROCERY.>> ON A TUESDAY MORNING IN MAY, BYRON PULLS UP RADISHES.

I ASKED HIM FOR A TASTE TEST.

>> SPICY.

>> HE MOVED FROM ZIMBABWE IN 2015, AND STARTED EIGHT>> SPICY.

>> HE MOVED FROM ZIMBABWE IN 2015, AND STARTED 84 ACRE FARM IN RAMONA.>> FOR ME, IT'S A DREAM.

>> HIS MISSION IS TO FEED THE COMMUNITY THE BEST FOOD POSSIBLE.>> SO FRESH.

SOMETIMES WHEN IT IS WARM OUTSIDE, DURING THE DAY, WE HARVEST, WE ARE HEALTHIER AT NIGHT, WHEN IT IS SO COOL, FRESH AND ALIVE, THE TASTE, IN THE END, IS DIFFERENT.

>> FARM SECTOR DEBT IS AT AN ALL-TIME HIGH, ONE FOURTH OF U.S. FARMS CARRY DEBT, AND IT'S EVEN HARDER FOR SMALLER TO MIDSIZE FARMS.>> WE WERE IN THE RED, WE WERE BARELY KEEPING OUR NOSE ABOVE WATER.

>> IN JANUARY, THE FOOD BANK FEEDING SAN DIEGO PARTNERED WITH HIM, WITH A WEEKLY NEAR $500 ORDER THAT HELP STABILIZE FARM FINANCES, PROVIDING A STEADY INCOME THAT IS HARD TO GET FROM UNPREDICTABLE FARMERS MARKETS.

HE HOPES TO HIRE MORE LABOR.

HE WASHES RADISHES AS THE DELIVERY TRUCK COMES UP.

I FOLLOW THEM TO THE FEEDING SAN DIEGO WAREHOUSE.

THERE, THERE ARE BOXES FROM 45 OTHERS SMALL TO MIDSIZE FARMS IN THE COUNTY.

MANY RUN BY WOMEN AND FARMERS OF COLOR.

PRODUCE FROM SMALL FARMS CAN COST MORE FOR BUYERS, ABOUT TWO DOLLARS PER POUND INSTEAD OF $.20.

THE NEW LOCAL FOOD PROGRAM AIMS TO EVEN THAT PLAYING FIELD, FUNDING LOCAL GOVERNMENTS, TO BUY FROM LOCAL GROWERS.

THEY SOURCE THE PRODUCE FOR FEEDING SAN DIEGO.

BUYING LOCAL IS BETTER FOR THE ENVIRONMENT.

>> INSTEAD OF OUTSOURCING IT FROM ANOTHER COUNTY, OR ANOTHER STATE, WE ARE ABLE TO USE LESS FUELS, LESS EMISSIONS.

>> AND IT AVOIDS HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS IN SHIPPING FEES.

RODRIGUEZ SAYS OFFERING FRESH PRODUCE, NOT JUST CANNED OR BOXED FOOD, THAT'S VITAL.>> FOOD IS MEDICINE, AND A LOT OF THE COMMUNITIES THAT WE SERVE, THEY DO HAVE MORE HEALTH ISSUES, THEY ARE MORE VULNERABLE, SO THIS ALLOWS THEM TO HAVE ACCESS TO PRODUCE THAT THEY NORMALLY MAY NOT BE ABLE TO PURCHASE.

>> SHE SAYS RECIPIENTS PREFER THE SMALLER FARM PRODUCE.>> TYPICALLY, IN OUR NORMAL PROGRAM, WE GET STAPLES LIKE POTATOES, ONIONS, CUCUMBERS, WITH THIS PROGRAM, IT'S VERY MUCH FARMERS MARKET PRODUCE, LIKE SWISS CHARD, SHIITAKE MUSHROOMS, BOK CHOY, CULTURALLY PREFERRED PRODUCE THAT WE NORMALLY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO GET, AND IT'S EXTREMELY FRESH.

>> NEARLY 1000 PEOPLE COME TO THEIR PRODUCE ATTRIBUTION EVERY WEEK.

I WATCH THEM LINEUP.

A RAINBOW OF TABLES, WATERMELONS, PEPPERS, AND MORE.

VOLUNTEERS PASS OUT THOUSANDS OF POUNDS OF FOOD.

I HOPES TO SPEAK WITH A RADISH RECIPIENT, BUT I DISCOVER MOST PEOPLE IN LINE HAVE LIMITED ENGLISH.

FEEDING SAN DIEGO DOESN'T TRACK DEMOGRAPHIC DEMOGRAPHICS, VOLUNTEERS SAY THERE ARE A LOT OF IMMIGRANTS, ESPECIALLY FROM THE PHILIPPINES.

THE HUNGER COALITION ESTIMATES ONE IN FOUR PEOPLE IN SAN DIEGO COUNTY ARE NUTRITION INSECURE.

AND DISPROPORTIONATELY, PEOPLE OF COLOR.

FINALLY, ONE WOMAN AGREES TO TALK.>> WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU WILL DO WITH THE RADISHES?>> SALAD.

I LIKE IT FRESH.

>> I LIKE THE DREAM TO FEED THE COMMUNITY GOOD FOOD.

THE PROGRAM IS FUNDED THROUGH JULY OF NEXT YEAR.

[ MUSIC ] >> LET'S GET YOU STARTED WITH THE WEATHER HEADLINES.

WE HAVE HEAT, LOW LAND HEAT FOR THE INLAND AREAS, ALTHOUGH THERE IS RELIEF ON THE WAY, AS WE ARE TRACKING SLIGHTLY COOLER TEMPERATURES, EVEN AS WE HEAD INTO THE WEEKEND.

COASTAL AREAS WILL BE SPARED FROM THE INTENSE HEAT, UNFORTUNATELY WE ARE STILL TRACKING HOT TEMPERATURES FOR AREAS FURTHER EAST, OVER THE NEXT COMING DAYS.

WE ARE DROPPING DOWN TO 60 IN SAN DIEGO, 60 DEGREES IN BORREGO SPRINGS, NOT BAD, YOU WILL CATCH SOME RELIEF FROM THE HEAT, BUT THE HEAT BUILDS AS HIGH-PRESSURE STRENGTHENS ACROSS THE SOUTHWEST.

WE HAVE SIGNIFICANT WARMING ON THE WAY, AND THAT DOES INCLUDE OUR DESERTS, AS WE HAD ACROSS SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA.

HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL BE RUNNING FIVE TO 20 DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL AVERAGES, THAT'S HOT, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT WHERE THE HISTORICAL AVERAGES ARE ALREADY AT FOR THE DOES IT FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR.

WHEN YOU PAIR THIS WITH THE WIND, THE HEAT, YOU HAVE AN ELEVATED FIRE RISK.

MAKE SURE YOU'RE NOT DOING ANY OUTDOOR BURNING.

HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL BE RUNNING BACK INTO THE DOUBLE DIGITS, BUT THIS IS JUST THE START OF THINGS.

TAKE A LOOK AT WHERE TEMPERATURES GO WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON.

ANYWHERE ACROSS THE DESERT SOUTHWEST, WE ARE TALKING REAL FEEL TEMPERATURES IN THE TRIPLE DIGITS, BUT EVEN WHEN YOU GET TO THE DESERTS ACROSS SOUTHERN NEVADA AND SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA, WE ARE TALKING TRIPLE DIGIT, SO PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU ARE TAKING CARE OF YOURSELF IN THIS HEAT.

I DO WANT TO TAKE YOU DAY BY DAY, STARTING YOU OFF ALONG THE COAST.

YOU ARE GOING TO BE SPARED BY THE INTENSE HEAT, WE ARE DEALING WITH SOME LOW CLOUDS, THAT IS GOING TO BE THE NAME OF THE GAME OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS.

AS WE GO FURTHER INLAND, YOU WILL CERTAINLY START TO FEEL TEMPERATURES RISE, MIDDLE 80s ON THURSDAY, AND FRIDAY.

WE HAVE MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES.

AS FOR THE MOUNTAINS, OF COURSE IT IS NOT NECESSARILY GOING TO BE SO HOT THERE, WE ARE IN THE 70s THROUGH THE MIDDLE AND THE LATE HALF OF THE WEEK.

LOOK AT THIS, THE DESERTS, 110 DEGREES, TRIPLE DIGITS, BY THE END OF THE WEEK, ON FRIDAY.

PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU ARE STAYING HYDRATED, AND TAKING PLENTY OF FLUID BREAKS.>>> HERE'S A LOOK AT TODAY'S TOP STORIES.

PRELIMINARY RESULTS SHOW SHE HAS AROUND 59% OF THE VOTE.
