INCLUDING WELL OVER 200 PERSONNEL WHO WILL BE ON THE SYSTEM MAKING SURE THEY ARE THE EYES AND EARS KEEPING TRACK OF WHAT IS HAPPENING.

>> THEY ARE TELLING RIDERS TO CALL 911 IN CASE OF EMERGENCY.

>> TO SOURCE ALL OF THE ITEMS AND GET OUR HANDS ON MATERIAL.

>>> A SECOND BOOSTER SHOT INCREASES IMMUNITY AGAINST COVID INFECTION AS WELL AS PROTECTING AGAINST SEVERE ILLNESS AND HOSPITALIZATION.

THAT IS THE FINDING OF A LARGE STUDY OUT OF ISRAEL FOCUSING ON PEOPLE OVER THE AGE OF 60.

THE RESULTS SUPPORT THE CDC RECOMMENDATION THAT PEOPLE OVER 50 SHOULD GET AN ADDITIONAL BOOSTER.

SITTING ON THE SAN DIEGO COUNTY VACCINE CRITICAL ADVISORY GROUP SAYING A FOURTH SHOT IS FOR OLDER POPULATIONS AND THE IMMUNOCOMPROMISED.

EVERYONE CAN BENEFIT FROM A THIRD SHOT.

>>> WE SEE THE RETURN OF A MARINE LAYER OVER THE NEXT COUPLE DAYS.

INTRODUCING A FEW MORE CLOUDS INTO THE FORECAST.

THE REAL STORY IS MANAGING TO KEEP STORMY WEATHER TO THE NORTH.

WE WILL STAY QUIET THROUGH NEXT WEEK.

A LITTLE BIT WARMER BY THE TIME WE GET TO THE END OF THE WE CAN.

THE SETUP HERE THE NEXT FEW HOURS ALLOWS TEMPERATURES TO FOLLOW UP INTO THE 50s.

AGAIN INTRODUCING A FEW MORE MARINE CLOUDS WE NOTICE ON THE COAST CLOUDY AT CHULA VISTA AS A SPOTS.

BRIGHTON SPRINGS AT LEAST A FEW CLOUDS WITH FRIDAY KEEPING THINGS DRY AND MILD.

ONSHORE FLOW COMING IN WITH THE MARINE LAYER.

WE MISS OUT ON THE MOISTURE.

KEEPING THE CLOUDS AS WE START OFF THE WEEK WITH SUNSHINE RETURNING IN THE AFTERNOON.

NOTICED THE NEXT FEW DAYS ARE BACK IN THE UPPER 60s.

NOT CHANGING TOO MUCH .

THE INLAND COMMUNITIES, THOSE NUMBERS, THEY GO UP HEADING INTO SUNDAY AND MONDAY.

BACK INTO THE LOW TO MID 70s HERE.

A LITTLE BIT WARMER AS WE GET RID OF SOME OF THE MARINE LAYER.

KEEPING THE MARINE LAYER FOR TOMORROW AND SATURDAY.

MOUNTAIN COMMUNITIES AT LEAST SOME CLOUDS START THINGS OFF TEMPERATURES IN THE 50s AND CLIMBING BACK INTO THE 60s FOR SUNDAY AND MONDAY.

A LITTLE BIT BREEZY ON MONDAY BEFORE THE COOL DOWN.

>>> CALIFORNIA'S FIRST NEW TASK FORCE ON REPARATIONS WRAPPING UP A TWO-DAY MEETING.

THE SUMMIT WAS HELD AT THE BAPTIST CHURCH HISTORIC CHURCH IN SAN FRANCISCO .

THE TASK FORCE IS LOOKING AT HOW AFRICAN- AMERICANS HAVE BEEN HARMED BY SLAVERY AND SYSTEMIC RACISM TO HELP STATE OFFICIALS DECIDE HOW TO RESPOND AND WHAT REPARATIONS SHOULD BE MADE.

ADVOCATES SAY COMPENSATION COULD INCLUDE FREE COLLEGE, HOUSING ASSISTANCE AND GRANTS TO CHURCHES AND ORGANIZATIONS PURE GO >> IT IS NOT AS SIMPLE AS GIVING A CHECK.

WE HAVE TO ALSO LOOK AT RECONSTRUCTING SYSTEMS SO WE HAVE THE QUALITY OF OPPORTUNITY.

SO MUCH THAT GOES INTO THE CONCEPT OF REPARATION.

TRUCK IN A" LAST MONTH, THE TASK FORCE CHOSE TO LIMIT ANY POSSIBLE PREPARATIONS TO ONLY DESCENDENTS OF SLAVES AND NOT THE OVER JULIAN BLACK PEOPLE IN THE STATE.

THE TASK FORCE HOLDS MEETINGS AND LISTENING SESSIONS ACROSS CALIFORNIA.

>> DEMAND SPIKES IN THE UNITED STATES AND AROUND THE WORLD.

>> Reporter: THE ASSISTANT PROFESSOR OF SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT AND THE UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH FLORIDA SAYS WE CAN BLAME LABOR SHORTAGES ON THE PANDEMIC.

THE ONGOING SUPPLY CHAIN CRISIS.

PRODUCTION ISN'T MEETING UP WITH DEMAND.

IN THE CHINA COLLUSION CRACKED OUT IT IS DRUMMING ALUMINUM MANUFACTURING EVEN FURTHER.

BASICALLY, PRODUCTION UP TO 20 2% WORLDWIDE.

>> Reporter: PET ADOPTION SWORDS DURING THE PANDEMIC AND ARE STILL STRONG .

THE RAISES THE DEMAND FOR CAT FOOD.

MEASURES ARE TAKEN TO A LEMONADE ALUMINUM PACKAGING, ALUMINUM IS NOT THE ONLY PROBLEM CAT FOOD SELLERS ARE DEALING WITH.

>> WE DO NOT HAVE ENOUGH PRODUCTION OF THE CATHODE.

THE MAIN REASON FOR THIS IS THE WORKFORCE.

>> Reporter: THE ALUMINUM SHORTAGE AND PRICE INCREASES ALSO ARE HAVING A MAJOR IMPACT ON SMALL BREWERIES ACROSS THE COUNTRY.

DEMAND FOR ALUMINUM CANNED PRODUCTS SKYROCKETED DURING THE PANDEMIC AS ALCOHOL CONSUMPTION ROSE AND BREWERIES SHIFTED TO TO GO MILES.

>> PRETTY MUCH EVERYTHING HAS GOTTEN MORE EXPENSIVE.

MOST NOTABLY ALUMINUM CANS DRINKS AND LIDS, REALLY EVERYTHING WE USE CONNECTED TO THE CANNING OF THE PRODUCT.

>> Reporter: TODAY'S CONSUMER WATCH.

I AM JEN SULLIVAN.

>>> REACTION TODAY ON NEW PROCEDURES FOR INVESTIGATING DEADLY POLICE SHOOTINGS.

COUNTY LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES WILL NO LONGER INVESTIGATE THEIR OWN OFFICERS IN THE SHOOTINGS.

TWO MAJOR OVERSIGHT GROUPS SAY NO AND TOLD THEM THE CHANGE WAS COMING.

TRUCK UNTIL NOW WHEN THE SHERIFF'S DEPUTY OR POLICE OFFICER SHOT AND KILLED SOMEONE WHILE ON THE JOB, THE DEPARTMENT THE PERSON WORKED FOR DID THE SHOOTING INVESTIGATION.

NO MORE.

NOW, THE SAN DIEGO POLICE DEPARTMENT WILL DO THE INVESTIGATION FOR DEPUTY INVOLVED SHOOTINGS.

THE OPPOSITE IS TRUE OF A SAN DIEGO OFFICER INVOLVED IN THE DEADLY SHOOTING.

ALL OTHER OFFICER-INVOLVED SHOOTINGS WILL BE HANDLED BY THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT.

IF BOTH THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT AND STP D ARE INVOLVED IN THE DEADLY SHOOTING, CHULA VISTA POLICE WILL CONDUCT THE INVESTOR PATIENT.

>> I WAS DRIVING HOME AND LISTENING.

>> Reporter: WE LEARNED TODAY NEITHER THE CITIZENS LAW ENFORCEMENT REVIEW BOARD WHICH OVERSEES DEADLY SHOOTINGS INVOLVING SHERIFF DEPUTIES OR ITS COUNTERPART, THE COMMISSION ON POLICE PRACTICES, WHICH DOES THE SAME THING THE SAN DIEGO POLICE SHOOTINGS WERE NOTIFIED OF THE NEW PROTOCOL.

THE CPP CHAIRMAN SAYS HE WAS SHOCKED.

HE HAD NO IDEA THE CHANGE WAS COMING.

>> WE HAVE USUALLY QUARTERLY MEETINGS WITH THE CHIEF OF POLICE AND DISPATCH.

NOT ONCE HAVE THEY EVEN GIVEN US A HEADS UP THIS WAS COMING.

>> Reporter: THE NORTH COUNTY EQUITY AND JUSTICE COALITION TOLD KPBS MIDDAY ADDITION THE CHANGE DOES NOT MERELY GO FAR ENOUGH.

>> WE NEED NON-LAW ENFORCEMENT AFFILIATED ORGANIZATIONS TO INVESTIGATE LAW-ENFORCEMENT.

WE ANTICIPATE THE SAME RESULTS IF LAW ENFORCEMENT, THE SHERIFF OR THE POLICE DEPARTMENT, TO INVESTIGATE CELLS.

>> Reporter: UNDER SHERIFF SAYS THE MOVEMENT IS TO INCREASE TRANSPARENCY AND BUILD TRUST WITH THE PUBLIC.

SHE REJECTS THE VIEW OF MILLER AND OTHERS THAT POLICE AGENCIES SHOULD NOT BE INVESTIGATING OTHER POLICE AGENCIES.

SHE SAYS THE DEPARTMENTS ARE ALL INDEPENDENT AND NO DEPARTMENTS WILL HAVE INFLUENCE OVER ANOTHER WHEN IT COMES TO INVESTIGATIONS.

AS FOR THE LACK OF NOTIFICATION OF EITHER GROUP, WE CONTACTED BOTH THE SHERIFF DEPARTMENT AND SAN DIEGO PD FOR A RESPONSE.

THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT SENT US AN EMAIL SAYING IN PART THAT THE RECENT MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING BETWEEN LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES IS COMPLETELY SEPARATE FROM THE MO YOU BETWEEN BOTH GROUPS.

WE DID NOT GET A REPLY FROM THE SAN DIEGO POLICE DEPARTMENT.

>> WE ARE NOT HAPPY WITH THE FACT THAT THEY CHOSE TO SIDELINE THE COMMISSION ON POLICE PRACTICES AND KEEP US OUT OF THE LOOP ON THIS.

>> Reporter: HE IS HOPING TO MEET WITH THE CHIEF TO FIGURE OUT HOW THE CHANGE WILL IMPACT THE INVESTIGATIONS BECAUSE HE SAYS NOW THEY JUST DO NOT HAVE ANY DETAILS.

SO, IT HAS BEEN A LONG PROCESS OF TRYING COMICS TO SORT OF UNEARTH WHAT IT IS AND WHAT THE REASONS WERE THAT MAY BE ANGRY AND MADE HER ANGRY.

SHE SORT OF IS THE VOICE I WISH I HAD.

SHE, I GUESS HAS AN ABILITY TO DISCERN WHAT IS ACTUALLY REALLY HAPPENING AND DISTILLATES INTO SHORT WORDS AND SPEAK HER MIND.

IT IS THINGS I ACTUALLY DO NOT POSSESS.

ALTHOUGH, I HAVE GOTTEN BETTER AT IT BECAUSE OF THIS CHARACTER.
