>>> TONIGHT DONALD TRUMP HAS SURRENDERED IN GEORGIA IN HIS FOURTH CRIMINAL CASE OF THE YEAR.

THANK YOU FOR JOINING US.

THE FORMER PRESIDENT ARRIVED BY MOTORCADE TO THE FULTON COUNTY JAIL AND WAS ARRESTED AND BOOKED ON CHARGES RELATED TO HIS EFFORTS TO OVERTURN HIS 2020 ELECTION DEFEAT IN THE STATE.

AHEAD OF HIS ARRIVAL HIS FORMER CHIEF OF STAFF AND CODEFENDANT REPORTED TO THE SAME ATLANTA JAIL FOR HIS OWN ARREST.

IVAN RODRIGUEZ HAS THE LATEST.

>> AUTHORITIES IN GEORGIA ARE PREPARING FOR THE ARRIVAL OF FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP.

EXPECTED TO TURN HIMSELF IN THURSDAY EVENING.

ACCUSED OF BEING THE HEAD OF THE CRIMINAL ENTERPRISE THAT WAS A PART OF A BROAD CRIMINAL CONSPIRACY TO OVERTURN HIS ELECTORAL DEFEAT IN GEORGIA.

THE OTHER 18 DEFENDANTS INCLUDE FORMER WHITE HOUSE CHIEF OF STAFF AND EX-TRUMP LAWYER RUDY GUILIANI.

THE FORMER PRESIDENT FACES 91 CHARGES ACROSS FOUR SEPARATE CRIMINAL CASES.

EXTRA PRECAUTIONS WILL BE TAKEN WHEN HE ARRIVES AT THE JAIL.>> HE WILL BE COMING INTO A SECURE ARRIVAL POINT.

THERE WILL NOT BE ANY OTHER PRISONERS OR EMPLOYEES.

>> ON THE GOP DEBATE STAGE IN MILWAUKEE WEDNESDAY NIGHT CANDIDATES WERE ASKED IF THEY WOULD SUPPORT HIM EVEN IF HE IS EVENTUALLY CONVICTED.

ALL BUT TWO OF THEM RAISED THEIR HANDS.

ONE WHO DID WAS FORMER VICE PRESIDENT MIKE PENCE.

TO MAKE EVERYONE OF US ON THE STAGE SIGNED A PLEDGE TO SUPPORT THE REPUBLICAN NOMINEE.

FRANKLY MY HAND WAS RAISED IN THAT JUST KEEPING MY WORD.

>> ONE WHO DID NOT WAS CHRIS CHRISTIE.

>> CHARACTER MATTERS.

THE TRUTH MATTERS.

HIS CONDUCT IS BELOW WHAT WE SHOULD EXPECT FROM A PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.

>> IVAN RODRIGUEZ, .

KPBS NEWS.>>> A DEVELOPER WANTS TO CONVERT THE CITY-OWNED OFFICE BUILDING AT 101 ASH STREET INTO AFFORDABLE HOUSING.

OUR METRO REPORTER HAS THE STORY.

>> IT IS SYNONYMOUS WITH POLITICAL SCANDALS AND BAD REAL ESTATE DEALS.

THE CITY OVERPAID FOR THE DOWNTOWN HIGH-RISE IN 2016 AND THEN BOXED RENOVATIONS AND DISCOVERED THE CITY'S OWN BROKER HAD ALSO BEEN WORKING FOR THE BUILDING'S SELLER.

DESPITE ITS TOXIC HISTORY REAL ESTATE FROM THEM HOPES TO GET THE BUILDING AND TURN IT INTO NEARLY 400 UNITS OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING.

THE NONPROFIT SAN DIEGO HOUSING FEDERATION SAYS DOWNTOWN HAS THOUSANDS OF LOW-WAGE JOBS AND TOURISM AND HOSPITALITY, AND THOSE WORKERS NEED MORE HOUSING OPTIONS.

>> I THINK THAT IF WE CAN GET MORE AFFORDABLE HOUSING SO THE FOLKS ARE ACTUALLY WORKING ON THE TOWERS WE CAN SERVICE THE PEOPLE WHO WORK IN THE TOWERS.

THEY CAN BENEFIT LIKE MANY OF THE SENIORS DO DOWN THERE FOR BEING CLOSE TO ACTIVITIES.

SOCIAL ACTIVITIES.

ALL OF THAT.

I AM ACTUALLY REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THE FUTURE FOR THE CENTER PIECE IN THE CONVERTING OFFICE BUILDINGS TO HOUSING IS EASIER SAID THAN DONE.

THE BUILDINGS ASBESTOS WILL HAVE TO BE REMOVED AND IT NEEDS NEW ELECTRICAL AND PLUMBING SYSTEMS, BUT HE SAYS FROM AN ENVIRONMENTAL STANDPOINT REUSING A HIGH-RISES BETTER THAN TEARING IT DOWN AND BUILDING SOMETHING NEW.

>> NOTWITHSTANDING THE FACT IT HAS A BAD REPUTATION BECAUSE POLITICS ARE SURROUNDING IT.

IT'S AN EXTRAORDINARY BUILDING WITH GREAT BONES.

VERY DIGNIFIED FAADE THAT IS REPRESENTATIVE OF VERY PARTICULAR ERAS IN THEIR HISTORY WHEN WE WERE REALLY STRIVING TO BE SOMETHING MORE.

>> THE QUESTIONS REMAIN.

HOW WILL THE PROJECT BE FINANCED?

WILL THE DEAL BE A LOSS FOR CITY TAXPAYERS?

IF SO, IS THE GAIN IN AFFORDABLE HOUSING WORTH THAT COST?

THE CITY WILL SOON KICK OFF A 90 DAY NEGOTIATING PERIOD TO TRY TO MAKE A DEAL, WHICH WOULD ULTIMATELY MEET THE APPROVAL OF THE CITY COUNCIL.

>>> THE REGIONAL TASK FORCE HAS BEGUN PUBLISHING PROGRESS REPORTS ON VETERAN HOMELESSNESS IN SAN DIEGO COUNTY WITH A GOAL AND REDUCING IT TO ZERO.

THE FIRST OF THE MONTHLY REPORTS RELEASED SHOWS A NUMBER OF VETERANS PLACED IN HOUSING NEEDS TO INCREASE FROM 70 TO 77 PER MONTH TO FEED THE GOALS.

FUNCTION IS YOUR MEANS HOMELESSNESS IS PREVENTED BY SERVICES AND RARE AND BRIEF WHEN IT DOES OCCUR.

BASED ON THE REPORT THE REGION COULD MEET ITS GOAL AND 13 MONTH TO HOUSE THE NEARLY 800 HOMELESS VETERANS IN THE AREA.

>>> OCEANSIDE'S FIRST HOMELESS SHELTER IS OFFICIALLY HOUSING NEW RESIDENCE.

OUR KPBS REPORTER SAYS THERE IS SPACE FOR SINGLE MEN AND WOMEN AS WELL AS FOR FAMILIES.

>> IT HAS BEEN A WEEK OF PEOPLE COMING TO SAN DIEGO RESCUE MISSIONS NEW NAVIGATION CENTER.

THE HOMELESS SHELTER IS A FIRST FOR OCEANSIDE.

SO FAR IT IS HOUSING ABOUT 15 RESIDENTS.

>> THEY COME TO THIS ROOM AFTER THEY HAVE BEEN ADMITTED AND GET SHEETS AND A BLANKET AND A PILLOW.

THEY GET HYGIENE MATERIAL AND THE OPPORTUNITY AFTER THEY SHOWER TO GET NEW SHOES AND NEW CLOTHING.

>> THIS IS THE HEAD OF THE SAN DIEGO RESCUE MISSION.

THE ORGANIZATION CONTRACTED BY THE CITY OF OCEANSIDE TO RUN THE SHELTER PROGRAM.

HE SAYS THE SITE IS NOT A WALK- UP FACILITY AND PEOPLE WILL BE REFERRED TO THE CENTER FOR 30 DAYS DAYS.

>> LAST THURSDAY WE STARTED ADMITTING GUESTS RIGHT FROM THE STREETS OR THEY ARE COMING FROM OUR OUTREACH UNIT.

>> THERE IS SKEPTICISM ABOUT THE NEW FACILITY AMONG OCEANSIDE'S HOMELESS POPULATION.

THIS MAN WHO WOULD NOT TELL US HIS REAL NAME GREW UP IN OCEANSIDE AND IS NOW HOMELESS LIVING NEAR THE SERVICE PROVIDER.

HE DID NOT WANT TO SHOW HIS FACE ON CAMERA.

>> I HEARD MIXED THINGS ABOUT WHAT KIND OF HELP THEY ACTUALLY OFFER.

THEY LIKE TO TAKE PEOPLE IN, BUT THEY ALSO PUSH THEM AWAY IS REFERRING TO THE LIMIT OF THE FACILITY, BUT ALMOST ANYONE CAN STAY THERE INCLUDING SINGLE MEN AND WOMEN AS WELL AS FAMILIES, AND THERE IS NO FAITH-BASED COMPONENT REQUIRED AT THE SHELTER, AND THEY WELCOME ALL PEOPLE.

>> THEY ARE RECEIVING A SAFE PLACE TO SLEEP AND THE OPPORTUNITY TO USE OUR FACILITIES AND SHOWERS AND A CENTER AND COMPUTER AND THINGS LIKE THAT.

THEY ARE RECEIVING THREE MEALS PER DAY AND ALSO BEING ASKED THEY ARE REQUIRED TO SEE A CASE MANAGER.

>> WE DO NOT THINK YOU ARE GOING TO BE HERE LONGER THAN 30 DAYS.

>> THE GOAL IS TO INCREASE THE RESIDENCE TO 50 PEOPLE OF THE NEXT MONTH .

THE NAVIGATION CENTER HAS CAPACITY FOR 100 PEOPLE AT ONCE, WHICH IS THEIR LONG-TERM GOAL.

>>> AFTER FOUR SEASONS THE LITTLE SOCCER CLUB IS CALLING IT QUITS AT THE END OF ITS CURRENT SEASON.

OUR REPORTER AND LOYAL SUPPORTER SPOKE WITH THE PRESIDENT OF ONE OF THE CLUBS SUPPORTER GROUPS FOR SOME FAN REACTION.

>> MEMBERS OF THE FAN BASE ARE REELING TODAY WITH THE ANNOUNCEMENT THAT THE CLUB WILL FOLD AT THE END OF THE SEASON TO THE TEAM IS IN THE MIDST OF A PLAYOFF RACE IN THE COMPETITIVE WESTERN CONFERENCE OF THE USL CHAMPIONSHIP.

THE SECOND DIVISION IN THE U.S. SOCCER PYRAMID.

>> IT HAS BEEN HEARTBREAKING.

IT IS CRUSHING.

THERE IS REALLY NO OTHER WAY TO STAY IT.

>> HE IS THE PRESIDENT AND COFOUNDER OF THE TEAM'S LARGEST SUPPORTERS.

AT EVERY LITTLE HOME GAME THE SUPPORTERS CAN BE SEEN AND HEARD SINGING AND CHANTING AND DRUMMING THROUGHOUT THE GAME.

WIN OR LOSE, WITHOUT STOPPING.

HE SAYS THE TEAMS PUBLIC ACTIONS AGAINST RACISM AND IN SUPPORT OF THE LGBTQ COMMUNITY HAS CONNECTED WITH FANS BEYOND THE PITCH IN 2020 THE TEAM REFUSED TO CONTINUE A GAME THEY WERE WINNING AFTER A PLAYER ON THE OTHER TEAM USED A HOMOPHOBIC SLUR AGAINST THE MIDFIELDER, AND OPEN THE GATE PLAYER.

THEY WALKED OFF THE FIELD AND FORFEITED THE MATCH AND TOOK A POTENTIAL PLAYOFF SPOT.

>> WHEN THEY WALKED OFF THE FIELD THAT IS WHEN IT CHANGED FROM THIS IS THE CLUB THAT YOU SUPPORT TO THAT IS MY CLUB.

THAT IS WHO I REPRESENT .

THE REPRESENT ME BECAUSE THAT IS NOT SOMETHING THAT OTHER TEAMS DO.

>> THEY WILL FINISH THEIR SEASON THIS FALL AT HIS HOME FOR THE LAST FOUR SEASONS.

>>> THE HUMAN TOLL FROM THE WILDFIRES IN MAUI IS STILL BEING ASSESSED AS IS THE TOLL ON PETS IN THE AREA.

HELP FOR ANIMALS IS COMING FROM RIGHT HERE IN SAN DIEGO.

SHOWING US HOW A LOCAL ANIMAL SHELTER IS RELIEVING THE STRESS ON MAUI SHELTERS.

>> OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF NIGHTS SOME VERY SPECIAL HAWAIIANS HAVE BEEN ARRIVING AT SAN DIEGO INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT.

REFUGEES OF THE FOUR-LEGGED VARIETY.

>> AFTER THE FIRE WE KNEW THAT ADOPTION RATES WERE GOING TO PLUMMET.

>> THAT IS MONICA FROM THE ANIMAL CENTER AND SHE IS HOLDING BUDDY.

THEY HAVE A LONG RELATIONSHIP WITH COLLEAGUES AT THE FOUNDATION.

>> WE KNEW THAT THEY WERE GOING TO BE OVERCAPACITY WITH THESE PETS WHO HAVE BEEN FOUND LOST AND INJURED.

>> THE 10+ DOGS ARE NOT THOSE LOST AND INJURED PETS.

THEY SAY IT WAS APPARENT FROM THE START THAT THE SHELTERS IN MAUI WOULD QUICKLY BE OVERCAPACITY WITH THOSE ANIMALS THAT FOUND THEMSELVES HOMELESS.

>> WHAT ARE PARTNERS NEEDED THE MOST WHEN WE ASKED THEM WAS SPACE.

THEY ARE CURRENTLY TRYING TO BUILD MAKESHIFT CANDLES BECAUSE THEY ARE OUT OF ROOM.

>> THE FINAL FLIGHT OF REFUGEES WILL ARRIVE TONIGHT AND IT WILL CONSIST OF FELINES, BUT FOR NOW THE CANINE ARRIVALS ARE BEING ASSESSED AND GETTING EVERYTHING THEY NEED.

>> I CHECKED TO SEE IF THERE WAS A DISCHARGE.

>> SHE IS A MEMBER OF THE MEDICAL TEAM.

>> THIS ONE WOULD PASS.

IT DOES HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF DEBRIS IN THE EARS, SO WE WOULD DO A CLEANING.

>> GETTING THESE ANIMALS TO SAN DIEGO IS A GROUP EFFORT.

ALASKA AIRLINES IS FLYING THEM HERE FOR FREE.

SAYING THAT HE IS GETTING FINANCIAL HELP FROM THE FOUNDATIONS.

THE DOGS AND SOON TO ARRIVE CATS WILL ALL BE HERE UNTIL AT LEAST SEPTEMBER 5 WHEN THEY WILL START TO BE PUT UP FOR ADOPTION.

>> ON A WALL IN THE LOBBY THERE ARE PLAQUES INTRODUCED TO OUR FOUR-LEGGED FRIENDS AND THERE IS THE SLOGAN.

PEOPLE HELPING ANIMALS AND ANIMALS HELPING PEOPLE.

YOU WILL NOTICE IT STARTS AND ENDS WITH US, SO PLEASE CONSIDER ADOPTING ONE OF THESE NOW WE REFUGEES OR ANY ONE OF THE OTHER HUNDREDS OF DOGS AND CATS THAT ARE HERE THAT NEED A LOVING HOME.

JOHN CARROLL, KPBS NEWS .

>>> A BOIL WATER ADVISORY IS IN EFFECT FOR RESIDENTS NEAR IMPERIAL BEACH.

EARLIER THE COUNTY SAID THE ADVISORY WAS ISSUED BECAUSE OF THE DRINKING WATER SYSTEM TESTED PRESENT FOR E. COLI, BUT IT IS UNCLEAR IF THAT IS THE REASON.

AFFECTED CUSTOMERS WILL BE CONTACTED DIRECTLY BY THE WATER COMPANY WITH SOME ADDITIONAL INFORMATION.

>>> ONE IN 13 U.S.

ADULTS REPORTED HAVING COVID SYMPTOMS LASTING THREE OR MORE MONTHS, AND THAT IS ACCORDING TO A SURVEY BY THE NATIONAL CENTER FOR HEALTH STATISTICS AND NEW RESEARCH SUGGESTS EARLY IN THE EPIDEMIC MILLIONS WHO TESTED NEGATIVE FOR COVID MIGHT HAVE HAD WHAT IS KNOWN AS LONG COVID.

>> FOR THOSE WITH A LONG COVID, SYMPTOMS CAN LINGER FOR WEEKS, MONTHS, AND EVEN YEARS AFTER FIRST ONSET OF THE DISEASE.

>> THIS GREATLY IMPACTS PATIENTS QUALITY OF LIFE AS WELL AS THEIR COMMUNICATIVE FUNCTION.

>> THIS DOCTOR WITH NORTHWESTERN MEDICINE SAYS AT THE BEGINNING OF THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC SWAB TESTING WAS LIMITED AND BLOOD TESTS WERE NOT AS ADVANCED, SO HE SAYS MANY PEOPLE HAD SYMPTOMS AND DEVELOPED LONG COVID, BUT COULD NOT BE TESTED IN TIME TO GET A POSITIVE TEST RESULT OR GOT A NEGATIVE RESULT DESPITE HAVING THE DISEASE.

>> AND RESEARCH PUBLISHED THIS WEEK THEY SAY BLOOD WAS TESTED FROM 29 PATIENTS WHO WERE NEGATIVE FOR COVID BUT SHOWED LONG COVID SYMPTOMS RESEARCHERS WERE LOOKING FOR TWO PROTEINS ASSOCIATED WITH THE CORONAVIRUS THAT CAUSES COVID-19 AND THEY SAY 41% OF THOSE TESTED HAD EVIDENCE OF EXPOSURE TO THAT VIRUS.

>> IT IS REALLY VINDICATING FOR THOSE PATIENTS TO KNOW THAT.

THEY DESERVE THE SAME CARE AS THOSE WITH POSITIVE FOR COVID- 19 AND ALSO DESERVE TO BE ENROLLED IN RESEARCH STUDIES.

>> SOME OF THE MOST COMMON LONG COVID SYMPTOMS ARE BRAIN FOG PROBLEMS WITH TASTE AND SMELL, MUSCLE PAIN, AND INTENSE FATIGUE.

>>> TONIGHT.

FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP IS BOOKED AT A GEORGIA JAIL FOR CHARGES RELATING TO THE 2020 ELECTION.

COMING UP AT 7:00 AFTER EVENING EDITION ON KPBS.

>>> THIS YEAR MORE SHOPPERS ARE CHOOSING ELECTRIC VEHICLES THAN EVER BEFORE ACCORDING TO SALES DATA.

EXPLAINING WHAT IS BEHIND THE RISE IN SALES AND WHAT TO KNOW IF YOU ARE IN THE MARKET.

>> A DRIVING FORCE FOR THE FUTURE.

SALES OF ELECTRICALS IN THE U.S. ARE BREAKING RECORDS, AND EXPERTS SAY IT IS JUST THE BEGINNING.

>> THE SHOULD FASTEN YOUR SEATBELTS BECAUSE THIS FEATURE IS TAKING OFF.

>> THE TRANSITION IS UNDERWAY.

>> U.S. CONSUMERS BOUGHT NEARLY 300,000 NEW BATTERY ELECTRIC VEHICLES IN THE SECOND QUARTER OF 2023.

SETTING A RECORD.

THAT IS MORE THAN 48% HIGHER THAN THE SAME TIME LAST YEAR AND MORE THAN WERE SOLD IN ALL OF 2019.

THEY PREDICT SALES OF FULL ELECTRIC VEHICLES IN THE U.S. WILL BREAK 1 MILLION VEHICLES IN 2023 FOR THE FIRST TIME.

>> WE ARE STARTING TO SEE ELECTRIC VEHICLE SALES NUMBERS GROW ALREADY, SO WE ANTICIPATE THAT ALL OF THIS WILL LINE UP.

>> WHAT IS DRIVING SALES?

>> THEY SAY SEVERAL FACTORS LIKE PRICE CUTS AND A WIDER VARIETY OF AVAILABLE VEHICLES AND MORE GOVERNMENT AND MANUFACTURING INVESTMENTS PLUS TAX CREDITS.

EXPERTS SAY THE EPA'S PROPOSED AUTOIGNITION RULES COULD HELP ELECTRICAL VEHICLES ACCOUNT FOR UP TO TWO THIRDS OF NEW SOLD IN THE U.S. BY 2032.

>> THESE RULES ARE REALLY MEANT TO HELP PUSH THE AUTO INDUSTRY TO PROVIDE THE CERTAINTY SO WE CAN GET THE INVESTMENTS IN MANUFACTURING AND INFRASTRUCTURE THAT WILL HELP BUILD OUT THE SUPPLY OF THOSE VEHICLES.

>> IF YOU ARE IN THE MARKET FOR AN ELECTRIC CAR REMEMBER THAT THROUGH THE INFLATION REDUCTION ACT THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IS NOW OFFERING TAX CREDITS OF UP TO $7500 ON SOME AND THEY SAY THIS YEAR'S TOP-SELLING EV IS ALL AMONG THE 18% THAT QUALIFY FOR AT LEAST SOME OF THAT TAX CREDIT.

>>> ACCORDING TO A SURVEY, THE SECOND BIGGEST CONCERN FOR CONSUMERS AFTER PRICE WAS A LACK OF ACCESS TO CHARGING STATIONS.

>>> DEMAND PUSHED SUMMER AIRFARES HIGHER AND AS TRAVELERS LOOK FOR ONE LAST SUMMER GETAWAY THEY MAY SEEK SOME RELIEF.

A POPULAR AIRFARE HACK HAS RECENTLY BEEN IN THE SPOTLIGHT FOR POTENTIAL SAVINGS, BUT EXPERTS SAY IT IS NOT WORTH IT.

>> FOR AIR TRAVELERS, A DIRECT FLIGHT IS NOT ALWAYS THE CHEAPEST ROUTE.

TRAVELERS TEND TO WANT SHORTER ITINERARIES, SO THEY ARE WILLING TO PAY MORE FOR DIRECT FLIGHTS.

>> THEY HAVE THEM TEMPTED TO TRY A RISKY TROUBLE HACK THAT IS WHEN A PASSENGER PURCHASES A CHEAPER TICKET WITH A CONNECTION AND THEIR DESIRED DESTINATION CITY AND SKIP OUT ON THE FINAL LEG.

>> YOU NOTICE THAT IF YOU BOOK A TRIP TO ACTUALLY GO TO ORLANDO WITH A STOP IN MIAMI YOU CAN GET THE TICKET FOR $80, SO YOU'RE POTENTIALLY SAVING MONEY ON WHAT YOU WOULD DO IS JUST GET OFF THE PLANE IN MIAMI WHEN IT STOPS THERE AND GIVE UP THE REST OF THE TICKET ONTO ORLANDO.

>> NOT LEGAL, BUT THIS TRAVEL EXPERT SAYS IT CAN BE A VIOLATION OF YOUR CONTRACT WITH THE AIRLINE.

THE FINE PRINT ON A TICKET THAT OUTLINES HER PASSENGER RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES.

>> IF THEY WERE AWARE YOU WERE NOT TRAVELING ONWARDS THAT IS A SEAT THAT COULD POTENTIALLY HAVE GOTTEN SOLD TO ANOTHER CUSTOMER.

>> THE MANAGING EDITOR SAYS AIRLINES HAVE WAYS TO PUNISH PASSENGERS WHO ARE CAUGHT.

>> THEY CAN CLOSER FOR THE FIRE ACCOUNT AND KICK YOU OFF THE FLIGHT POTENTIALLY AND MAKE YOU BUY A LAST MINUTE ONE WAYFARER OR BAN YOU FROM THE AIRLINE.

STEAM ESPECIALLY TRICKY DURING UNPREDICTABLE SUMMER TRAVEL OR A WEATHER DIVERSION COULD TAKE YOU FURTHER OFF COURSE AND COST YOU MORE THAN YOU SAVED.

>>> SOME BIG CHANGES ARE ON THE HORIZON FOR BUSINESSES IN OCEANSIDE.

LAST NIGHT THE CITY COUNCIL UNANIMOUSLY VOTED IN FAVOR OF A SINGLE-USE PLASTIC SPAN.

UNDER THE ORDINANCE STYROFOAM WOULD BE PROHIBITED IN OCEANSIDE STARTING JULY 2024 AND THEN BY JANUARY 2025 SINGLE-USE PLASTICS WILL ALSO BE AND.

MAIN STREET OCEANSIDE OVERSEAS BUSINESSES IN DOWNTOWN OCEANSIDE AND IT IS IN CHARGE OF EDUCATING BUSINESSES ABOUT THE NEW RULES.

>> WE HOPE THAT THIS IMPROVES THE QUALITY OF LIFE IN OUR CITY.

A LOT OF PEOPLE WE KNOW JUST TAKE FOOD HOME AND THROW IT IN THE GARBAGE.

MAY BE THEY NEED TO RECONSIDER WHAT THEY DO.

>> IF A STORE PROVIDES PLASTIC BAGS THEN CUSTOMERS WILL HAVE TO PAY $.10 TO PURCHASE THEM.

>>> THE COUNTY SAYS SAN DIEGO IS USED OVER 100,000 SANDBAGS TO FORTIFY THEIR HOMES.

AHEAD OF TROPICAL STORM HILARY, BUT WHAT SHOULD THOSE PEOPLE DO WITH THOSE SANDBAGS NOW?

THE COUNTY SUGGESTS KEEPING THEM TO REUSE.

THEY CAN BE STORED OR FILLED OR EMPTIED.

IF USED THEY ARE NOT CONTAMINATED WITH DIRTY WATER OR CHEMICALS, AND YOU CAN ADD THAT TO THE SOIL, AND IF YOU CANNOT REUSE THE CENTER SANDBAGS AT HOME OR IF THEY ARE CONTAMINATED YOU CAN TAKE THEM DIRECTLY TO SELECT LANDFILLS.

YOU SHOULD CALL THE LANDFILL BEFORE HAND.

>>> YOU ARE JOINING US HERE FOR THIS UPDATE ON KPBS.

LOOKING AT THE FORECAST FOR THE NEXT FEW DAYS IT IS GOING TO TURN WARMER.

THE HEAT BUILDS FOR THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING HOURS OVER THE COURSE OF THE WEEKEND, AND BY THE TIME WE GET INTO NEXT WEEK SCORCHING THE SUMMER HEAT WILL BE ON THE MAP ACROSS THE INTERIOR AREAS, AND THE RECOVERY DOES CONTINUE TIED TO THAT FLOODING RAIN IN SOME INLAND AREAS AS IT HAS BEEN A TOUGH STRETCH HERE AT TIMES OVER THE PAST FOUR OR FIVE DAYS IN THE WAKE OF HILARY.

TAKE A LOOK AT THIS.

REMARKABLE HOW WHEN WE HAVE BEEN TO 1.84 INCHES OF RAIN SO FAR THIS MONTH AND WE AVERAGE 100th OF AN INCH OF RAIN.

LA ALMOST 3 INCHES.

THEY HAVE A TRACE.

WAY ABOVE AVERAGE HERE.

ON THE OTHER HAND AREAS THAT FREQUENTLY SEE BETWEEN 406+ INCHES OF RAIN IN A TYPICAL AUGUST LAKE CHARLES, LOUISIANA THERE ARE NO STRANGER TO THUNDERSTORMS PER TYPICALLY HOUSTON AND JACKSON, MISSISSIPPI AS WELL TO THE HEIRS EVER MISSING A TRACE, SO KIND OF LIKE WE REVERSED HERE THIS MONTH IN SOME FORM.

THEY HAVE BEEN TAKING HE.

65 IS THE LOW TONIGHT.

LOW CLOUDS WILL BE RETURNING TO THE COASTAL AREAS.

FUTURE CAST DOES NOT REALLY SHOW TOO MANY HURDLES FOR US.

RIGHT DAY TOMORROW.

DO NOT FORGET THE SUNSCREEN YOU CAN SEE THE MONSOON MOISTURE SPARKING SPEC SCATTERED STORMS ARE PROBABLY NOT GOING TO SEE MUCH ON THE CALIFORNIA SIDE.

JUST A BRIGHT AND DRY DAY WITH SOME LOCAL CLOUDS FOR THE COASTLINE.

85 YEAR.

104 IN BORREGO SPRINGS, BUT THAT IS JUST THE BEGINNING.

WE WILL HEAT UP IN A BIG WAY.

FOR COSPLAYERS WE WILL GAIN ABOUT 9 DEGREES FROM FRIDAY UNTIL 84 ON TUESDAY AND MONDAY FOR THAT MATTER.

IT GETS MORE DRAMATIC AS WE STEP INLAND.

LOW 80s ON FRIDAY.

BEAUTIFUL DAY FOR THE INLAND AREAS TOMORROW, BUT LOOK AT THIS.

96 AND 97 ON MONDAY.

GOOD DEAL OF SUNSHINE.

INTO THE MOUNTAINS WE GO.

THIS WILL BE THE PLACE TO FIND RELIEF NEXT WEEK AS WE STAY COOL WITH ELEVATION ON OUR SIDE INTO MONDAY AND TUESDAY, BUT INTO THE DESERT HERE IS WHERE THE HEAT REALLY BUILDS FROM 104 ON FRIDAY TO ABOUT 111 ON MONDAY.

IT WILL BE HOT INTO TUESDAY AS WELL , SO STAY PREPARED FOR THE HEAT AND STAY AHEAD OF THAT.

THANK YOU FOR JOINING US.>>> A BIT OF HEARTBREAK TODAY FOR THE KIDS FROM TIJUANA WHO HOPED TO RETURN AS LITTLE LEAGUE WORLD SERIES CHAMPIONS.

THEY MET THEIR MATCH TODAY IN WILLIAMSPORT LOSING TO THE TEAM FROM THE CARIBBEAN.

THE FINAL SCORE WAS 4-113 MEXICO MADE IT ALL THE WAY TO THE SEMIFINALS OF THE INTERNATIONAL BRACKET.

THEY HAVE PLENTY TO BE PROUD OF THOUGH.

MAKING IT FURTHER THAN ANY TEAM FROM MEXICO IN THE PAST 10 YEARS.>>> GO TO SCENIC ACCOUNT IS WATERFRONT PARK AND YOU WILL SEE A BRIGHT COLORED NEURAL SHOWING A SUNFLOWER, A BIRD, AND A WHEELCHAIR.

THE MESSAGE IS INCLUSION.

OUR REPORTER TELLS US HOW THIS PUBLIC ART REFLECTS THE PEOPLE WHO CREATED IT.

>> IT IS A GORGEOUS DAY AT THIS PARK NEXT-DOOR TO THE COUNTY BUILDING DOWNTOWN.

THIS IS THE PLACE WHERE KIDS CAN WRITE A SWING AND GET VERY WET AND SEE PUBLIC ART LIKE THIS STATUE.

AND ALSO A NEW MURAL PAINTED EARLIER THIS SUMMER.

>> YOU CAN SEE IT GETTING FROM THE TROLLEY STATION AND WALKING UP.

YOU CAN SEE IT FROM A LOT OF DIFFERENT ANGLES, AND IT DRAWS PEOPLE IN AND BRINGS JOY AND A FEELING OF HAPPINESS, WHICH WE COULD ALL USE A LITTLE BIT MORE OF IN OUR DAY.

>> SHE IS AN ARTIST WHO WORKS FOR THE SAN DIEGO NONPROFIT CALLED REVISION.

THERE SHE COACHES ASPIRING ARTISTS WHO ARE ON THE AUTISM SPECTRUM, AND SHE WORKED WITH THEM TO CREATE THIS PIECE OF PUBLIC ART.

SHE CREATED A MURAL DESIGN THAT SHE PROJECTED ON THE WALL ONE NIGHT AND OUTLINED THE FORMS.

PEOPLE WORKING WITH REVISION CAME THE FOLLOWING DAY AND FILLED IN THE COLORS.

BEFORE THAT THEY GOT IDEAS FROM LOTS OF PEOPLE ABOUT WHAT IMAGES WOULD PRESENT THE RIGHT STORY AND MESSAGE.

HE CAME UP WITH THE IDEAS FOR THE SUNFLOWER IN THE POT THAT IT IS IN.

>> IT REPRESENTS SOMETHING VERY IMPORTANT.

INCLUSION FOR OTHERS IS A GREAT WAY TO RESPECT THE CIRCLE OF LIFE.

SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

>> THIS IS A PERSON WITH AUTISM.

SOME OF HIS PAINTINGS ARE ON DISPLAY AT THE DOWNTOWN COFFEE SHOP NEXT TO POKIES RESTAURANT.

THE FOUNDER AND DIRECTOR CALLS ART A UNIFYING FORCE BECAUSE IT DOES NOT COMPLETELY REVEAL THE PERSON BEHIND IT.

>> WHEN YOU SEE A BIT FULL PIECE OF ART YOU DO NOT NECESSARILY THINK WHO WOULD HAVE CREATED THIS.

WHAT TYPE OF PERSON IS BEHIND THIS?

YOU IMMEDIATELY HAVE A REACTION TO THE ART ITSELF, SO THE PERSON COMES SECONDARY TO THE EXPERIENCE THAT YOU ARE HAVING WHEN YOU ARE VIEWING ART.

>> THEREFORE SHE SAYS WITH ART YOU JUDGE THE CREATION.

YOU DO NOT REALLY JUDGE THE ARTIST OR THEIR PERSONALITY.

SHE LIKES TO USE THE EXPRESSION NEURODIVERSITY WHEN TALKING ABOUT PEOPLE ON THE AUTISM SPECTRUM.

>> A LOT OF TIMES THEY CANNOT COMMUNICATE TYPICALLY THROUGH SPEECH AND LANGUAGE, BUT MIGHT HAVE A GIFT OF OBJECTS OR PIECING ITEMS TOGETHER.

CREATING A SCULPTURE OR PUTTING COLORS TOGETHER REALLY BEAUTIFULLY.

THAT IS A FORM OF COMMUNICATION AS WELL.

>> EVERYBODY HAS A BLESSING.

NOT EVERY ARTIST IS THE SAME HERE.

WE ARE ALL BLESSED WITH UNIQUE GIFTS AND TALENTS, AND IT DOES NOT MATTER WHAT YOU CHOOSE.

THERE IS NO WRONG OR RIGHT PLACE TO START.

>> BECAUSE THE MURAL SITS IN A VERY POPULAR WATERFRONT PARK IT WILL BE SEEN BY A LOT OF PEOPLE FROM FAIRWAYS TO TOURISTS TO PEOPLE WHO ARE HOMELESS.

THEY HOPE THAT THEY ALL REMEMBER SOMETHING GOOD.

>> WE DO NOT KNOW PEOPLE'S HISTORIES OR WHERE THEY HAVE BEEN OR THEIR STRUGGLES OR TRIUMPHS MIGHT BE, AND WITH WATERFRONT PARK ESPECIALLY BEING SUCH A COMMUNITY ORIENTED SPACE WITH SO MANY DIFFERENT TYPES OF PEOPLE COMING HERE TO ENJOY THE CITY AND THE PARK JUST LETTING PEOPLE KNOW THEY ARE WELCOME AND THAT THEY BELONG AND THAT THEY ARE CARED ABOUT ESSENTIALLY.

>> THE SIGN LANGUAGE ON THE LEFT SIDE SAYS I LOVE YOU.

THE FIGURE 8 AND ENTITY SYMBOL ON THE RIGHT-HAND CORNER HAS BECOME A SYMBOL FOR PEOPLE WITH AUTISM.

THEY SAY IT REPRESENTS THE SPECTRUM AND THE POSSIBILITIES THAT PEOPLE CONTINUE TO HAVE IN THEIR LIVES.
