THANK YOU.

>>> AN UNPRECEDENTED AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE TRIBAL GOVERNMENT AND CALIFORNIA.

IT COMES AS THE WEATHER AND FIRE SEASON ARE HEATING UP.

THIS AGREEMENT WILL HELP EXPAND THE STATE'S NETWORK OF RESOURCES NEEDED DURING DISASTERS.

>> Reporter: THE BAND OF MISSION INDIANS AND THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA MADE HISTORY THIS MORNING.

>> IT IS THE FIRST TIME A TRIBE HAS ENTERED INTO AN AGREEMENT LIKE THIS IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA AND WE ARE PROUD TO BE LEADING THE WAY OF THE NEW AND EVOLVING RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN STATES AND TRIBES.

>> Reporter: THE TRIBAL CHAIRMAN SIGNED THE FIRST AND ONLY MUTUAL AID AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE FIRE DEPARTMENT AND THE CALIFORNIA OFFICE OF EMERGENCY SERVICES.

HE MADE THE ANNOUNCEMENT ON SOVEREIGN LAND AT THEIR ONLY FIRE STATION.

>> WE ARE SETTING A NEW STANDARD FOR PARTNERSHIPS TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF OUR COMMUNITIES.

IT'S A MONUMENTAL ACHIEVEMENT FOR THE FIRE DEPARTMENT, TRIBE, AND COMMUNITY.

>> Reporter: THEY WILL BE JOINING 60 JURISDICTIONS.

>> YOU ARE OFFICIALLY PART OF THE CALIFORNIA FIRE AND RESCUE MUTUAL AID SYSTEM AND WILL BE ABLE TO USE THE FIRE SYSTEM FOR RESPONSE DURING WILDFIRE SEASON.

>> Reporter: IT WILL HOUSE A BRIGHT YELLOW BRICK AND WILL BE STAFFED AND SENT TO EMERGENCIES THAT REQUIRE MORE RESOURCES.

MANY FIRE DEPARTMENTS ACROSS THE STATE ARE HAVING STAFFING ISSUES AND THEY ARE NO DIFFERENT.

THEY ARE CURRENTLY DOWN THREE FIREFIGHTER PARAMEDICS AND ONE ENGINEER.

>> WHAT IS THE COMMITMENT LIKE?

DOES THAT WORRY YOU A LITTLE BIT THAT YOU WILL HAVE TO SAY NO SOMETIMES?

>> IT DOES NOT WORRY ME BECAUSE OUR COMMITMENT IS TO OES.

WE WILL STAFF THAT AND ON THAT WE CAN CALL BACK.

IF NOT, THE MUTUAL AID AGREEMENTS THAT WE HAVE WITHIN THE OTHER DEPARTMENTS AND THE SURROUNDING AREA WILL HELP TO COVER US FROM THAT.

>> THE REALITY IS EVERY FIRE DEPARTMENT IS ALREADY STRETCHED THIN.

>> I DO NOT SEE AN ISSUE IN RESOURCE ALIGNMENT BUT IT IS A BALANCING ACT.

>> Reporter: THIS TYPE OF AGREEMENT USED TO BE FORGET -- FORBIDDEN.

>> GOVERNOR NEAR SOME ALLOWED US TO ENTER INTO THESE.

IT CHANGED THE GAME.

>> Reporter: THEY SAID THAT THIS AGREEMENT SETS THE STAGE FOR OTHERS.

WAS THERE ONE THING THAT YOU SAID WE ARE NOT WILLING TO GIVE UP THAT WAS A NONSTARTER?

>> IT IS ABOUT SOVEREIGNTY.

WE DID NOT SAY NO TO IT.

WE JUST RENEGOTIATED WHAT SHOULD BE IN THERE NOT ONLY FOR OES BUT ALSO THE TRIBE.

THE MAIN THING IS THE SOVEREIGNTY.

WE ALWAYS PROTECT THAT.

THAT IS THE ONE THING WE HAVE THAT NOBODY WILL EVER TAKE.

>>> ANOTHER HOT DAY.

WE CONTINUE TO SEE HEAT ADVISORIES AND EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING'S LETTING YOU KNOW THAT TEMPERATURES HAVE BEEN WELL ABOVE THE HISTORICAL AVERAGE.

UNFORTUNATELY MORE HE WILL CONTINUE.

WE WILL TAKE A CLOSER LOOK AT HOW LONG THE HOT TEMPERATURES STICK AROUND AND IF THERE ARE ANY CHANGES IN THE FORECAST.

THAT IS ALL COMING UP.

>>> THE CITY COUNCIL PUBLIC SAFETY COMMITTEE HAS APPROVED A PLAN TO USE CAMERAS MOUNTED ON STREETLIGHTS TO GATHER VIDEO AND HELP INVESTIGATE CRIME.

THOMAS FUTCH TELLS US ABOUT THE MEETING AND THE CONTROVERSIAL TOPIC.

>> I MADE THE MOTION AND NOW WE WILL TAKE THE VOTE.

>> Reporter: THE COMMITTEE VOTED 3-1 TO APPROVE THE PLAN AFTER MORE THAN AN HOUR OF PUBLIC TESTIMONY THAT WAS MOSTLY OPPOSED.

OPPONENTS ARGUED THAT THE PROGRAM WOULD BE ANARCHY VIOLATION OF PRIVACY RIGHTS THAT COULD UNFAIRLY CRIMINALIZE COMMUNITIES OF COLOR.

ONE SPEAKER SAID THE POLICE ARE ASKING PEOPLE TO SIMPLY TRUST THEM TO USE THEM IN THE RIGHT WAY.

>> WE SEE THAT LAW ENFORCEMENT SAYS WE WILL HAVE THIS PRIVACY AND TECHNOLOGY AND WE PROMISE WE WILL DO THE RIGHT THING.

THEY ARE THE SAME ONES THAT STOP BLACK AND BROWN COMMUNITIES FOUR TIMES HIGHER THAN WHITE COUNTERPARTS.

THEY PROMISE THEY WILL DO THE RIGHT THING.

THEY ARE THE SAME ONES WHO ARREST BLACK AND BROWN COMMUNITIES IN SAN DIEGO JAIL SYSTEM MORE.

THREE OR FOUR TIMES MORE THAN WHITE COUNTERPARTS BUT THEY PROMISE THEY WILL DO THE RIGHT THING WITH THIS POLICY.

PLEASE DON'T FALL FOR THE SMOKESCREEN >> Reporter: SUPPORTERS ARGUE THERE IS NO REASONABLE EXPECTATION OF PRIVACY IN PUBLIC LACES WHERE THE CAMERAS GATHER FOOTAGE.

THEY SAY CAMERAS CAN PROVIDE VITAL EVIDENCE WHERE POLICE AND WITNESSES CANNOT OBSERVE CRIMINAL ACTIVITY.

>> IN MY EXPERIENCE AS A PROSECUTOR, THE NUMBER OF CASES I HAD TO DISMISS BECAUSE THERE WAS NO EVIDENCE CAPTURED AND THE DEEP DISAPPOINTMENT OF THE VICTIMS AND THE PUBLIC WHO ASKED HOW IS IT POSSIBLE THAT I HAVE BEEN VICTIMIZED SO BADLY AND THERE IS NOTHING THAT CAN BE DONE.

THAT LENDS ITSELF TO THE IDEA THAT WHERE WE WILL EMPHASIZE THESE CAMERAS IS GOING TO BRING A SENSE OF SATISFACTION TO THE PUBLIC THAT WE ARE DOING WHAT WE NEED TO DO TO SOLVE CRIMES AND PREVENT THEM AND BECOMING VICTIMS.

>> Reporter: THE SAN DIEGO POLICE SAY THEY WANT TO USE 1000 CAMERAS AND 500 PLACES.

PRIOR TO THE MEETING THE PRIVACY ADVISORY BOARD RECOMMENDED THAT THE CITY REJECT THE POLICE PROPOSAL.

THE ONLY COUNSEL COMMITTEE VOTED AGAINST THE PLAN ON WEDNESDAY CAME FROM COUNCILMEMBER MONICA MONTGOMERY STEPPED.

HER DISTRICT WILL BE HOME TO A LARGE PERCENTAGE OF THE CAMERAS.

THE PROPOSAL NOW GOES BEFORE THE SAN DIEGO CITY COUNCIL.

>>> THE CARLSBAD UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT HAS BEEN WORKING ON ITS DIVERSITY, EQUITY, INCLUSION AND BELONGING ACT FOR OVER 12 YEARS.

THE SUBJECT HAS PACKED SCHOOL BOARD MEETINGS MULTIPLE TIMES WITH COMMUNITY MEMBERS FOR AND AGAINST THE PLAN.

LAST NIGHT THE SCHOOL BOARD VOTED 4-1 TO PASS THE PLAN.

IT HAPPENED AFTER HOURS OF DELIBERATION AND OVER 70 SPEAKERS VOICING THEIR OPINIONS ON THE MATTER.

>> EQUITY AND INCLUSION AND DIVERSITY IS HOW WE MOVE THE COUNTRY FORWARD.

WHATEVER IT IS YOU ARE DOING NOW IS NOT IT.

IT WILL HAPPEN WITH YOU OR WITHOUT YOU.

>> PARENTS SHOULD BE THE ONES TO DETERMINE WHEN AND WHERE THEIR SPECIFIC STUDENTS LEARN ABOUT THE SEXUAL MATTERS THAT DDI SEEKS TO TEACH ALL OF THE STUDENTS.

>> I BELIEVE THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES WOULD BE WISE TO FOCUS THEIR EFFORTS TO IMPROVE THE DISTRICT BY SPENDING PRECIOUS CLASS TIME AND RESOURCES ON ACADEMICS PLEA -- PLEASE VOTE NO.

>> IT WILL BE IMPLEMENTED IN PHASES OVER THE COURSE OF THREE YEARS.

THE FIRST YEAR WILL CONCENTRATE ON REVIEWING SCHOOL BOARD POLICIES IN FACILITIES FOR ANY UPDATES THAT ARE NEEDED.

>>> EARLY VOTING IS UNDERWAY IN THE RACE FOR THE COUNTY SUPERVISOR SEAT.

CANDIDATES WILL BE VYING FOR YOUR VOTE AT ST. PAUL'S EPISCOPAL CATHEDRAL.

>> Reporter: UNIONS SAY STREAMING SERVICES ARE UNDERCUTTING PAY AND THEY WANT RESTRICTIONS ON AI.

>> I THINK THE WRITERS CAN MORE EASILY BE IN PLACE BY ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE.

TEAM USA PLACE TOMORROW.

MELISSA MAY SPOKE WITH YOUNG FANS THAT ARE SO EXCITED TO CHEER THEM ON AS THEY GO FOR THE THIRD STRAIGHT WORLD CUP TITLE.

>> Reporter: TEAM USA MAY BE PLAYING DOWN UNDER, BUT THEY HAVE 20 OF FANS IN SAN DIEGO TO CHEER THEM ON >> IT IS GOING TO BE AWESOME TO SEE THEM PLAY AGAINST HARD TEAMS ALL OVER THE WORLD.

NEW DATA SHOWS MORTGAGE RATES ARE THE HIGHEST THEY HAVE BEEN ALL YEAR AT NEARLY 7%.

JENN SULLIVAN EXPLAINS WHAT IT MEANS FOR HOMEBUYERS.

>> Reporter: AMID A SIZZLING REAL ESTATE MARKET, MORTGAGE RATES ARE SOARING TO RED-HOT LEVELS.

RATES IN THE U.S. ARE PUSHING TOWARD 7%.

IT'S THE HIGHEST SO FAR THIS YEAR ACCORDING TO THE LATEST DATA FROM FREDDIE MAC.

THE HIGHER THE RATES ARE THE LESS HOME PEOPLE CAN AFFORD.

THAT IS NOT SLOWING DOWN DETERMINED HOMEBUYERS.

>> THERE IS STILL PLENTY OF DEMAND.

WE HAVE A HOUSING SHORTAGE IN THE COUNTRY.

>> Reporter: THE LOW INVENTORY AND HIGH DEMAND MEANS COSTS ARE STILL STUBBORNLY HIGH DESPITE NEW DATA SHOWING INFLATION IS EASING.

MITIGATE YOUR EXPECTATIONS.

EXPERTS SAY IF YOU ARE WAITING TO SEE LOWER MORTGAGE RATES IT MAY NOT HAPPEN THIS YEAR.

THE FED PAUSED INTEREST RATES LAST MONTH BUT ECONOMISTS PREDICT THEY WILL LIKELY BE RAISED AGAIN THIS MONTH AND SEVERAL OTHER TIMES THIS YEAR.

TWO, WORK ON YOUR CREDIT.

DELINQUENCIES ARE ON THE RISE AND BANKS COULD ADOPT STRICTER STANDARDS FOR BORROWERS.

IT AFFECTS A LOT OF ASPECTS OF AMERICAN HEALTHCARE FROM THE OPERATING ROOM WITH ANESTHESIA TO INFECTIOUS DISEASE AND A WHOLE HOST OF OTHER MEDICINES.

>> Reporter: AS THE COMPANY ASSESSES THE DAMAGE TO GAUGE THE IMPACT, EXPERTS ARE CONCERNED THAT THE LOST PRODUCT AND PRODUCTION CAPABILITY COULD HAVE SIGNIFICANT CONSEQUENCES ACROSS THE COUNTRY.

>> I AM AFRAID THAT SOME PATIENTS WILL GET SUBOPTIMAL CARE AND THERE MAY BE AN INCREASE IN LIVES LOST.

>> Reporter: THEY ALSO FEAR THAT IT COULD EXACERBATE THE ONGOING DRUG SHORTAGES.

>> I HAVE ABOUT 300 DRUGS IN SHORT SUPPLY IN THE UNITED STATES.

>> Reporter: A DR. CHEONG FROM THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA SAID THERE ARE SEVERAL FACTORS INCLUDING SCARCITY OF MATERIALS AND A LACK OF TRANSPARENCY IN THE SUPPLY CHAIN.

>>> AS WE CONTINUE TO TRACK THE WEATHER HEADLINES IT IS THE DANGEROUS HEAT THAT LEADS THE STORY HERE ABOUT WHAT WE ARE EXPECTING OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS.

NOT EVERYBODY IS DEALING WITH THE DANGEROUS CONDITIONS WHEN IT COMES TO THE HEAT.

THE MARINE LAYER IS MODERATING TEMPERATURES ALONG THE COAST AND WE WILL BE TRACKING SOME MOISTURE MOVING IN THAT MAYBE BRINGS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS SUNDAY INTO MONDAY.

LET'S START WITH THE TEMPERATURES AS WE HEAD INTO TONIGHT.

IN OCEANSIDE AND SAN DIEGO THINGS ARE LOOKING GOOD.

82 TONIGHT IN MET LAGUNA.

ANOTHER HOT DAY ON THE WAY AS WE HEADED TO FRIDAY SO THINGS CONTINUE TO BE DANGEROUS WHEN IT COMES TO THE HEAT RELATED ILLNESSES AS WE HEAD INTO THE DESERTS WE LOOK TO 116 FOR BORREGO SPRINGS .

THIS PATTERN CONTINUES WITH AN UPPER-LEVEL HIGH BRINGING US THE HEAT.

ALONG THE COAST THINGS ARE COOLER BUT WE WILL BE FOCUSING ON THOSE DAILY RECORD HIGH TEMPERATURES STILL BEING CHALLENGED.

THEY CAN BE AS HIGH AS 110 TO 120.

IT WILL CONTINUE TO BRING RISK OF HEAT RELATED ILLNESSES AND INCREASED FIRE RISK.

WE LOOK TO THE COAST THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS WITH TEMPERATURES THROUGH THE LOWER 80s AND THEN EVEN WARMER AS WE HEAD INTO THE DAY ON MONDAY.

WE WILL DEAL WITH THAT HUMIDITY.

LOOKING AT THE FIVE-DAY OUTLOOK, MID-90s FOR FRIDAY AND SATURDAY.

A BIT OF A DROP ON SUNDAY BEFORE TEMPERATURES GET EVEN HOTTER AS WE HEAD AND MONDAY AND TUESDAY.

FOR THE MOUNTAINS WE HOLD ONTO THOSE 80s FRIDAY AND SATURDAY AND THEN FINALLY SOME COOLER TEMPERATURES MOVE THROUGH.

WE WRAP THINGS UP INTO THE DESERT WHERE TEMPERATURES STAY DANGEROUSLY HOT FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS.

>>> A BIT OF A FUN STORY NOW.

A DOG WHO WENT MISSING FROM HIS HOME IN LAS VEGAS EARLIER THIS MONTH WAS REUNITED WITH HIS FAMILY TODAY IN SAN DIEGO.

HE HAD A MICROCHIP AND THE TEAM CALLED HIS OWNERS.

THE HUMANE SOCIETY IS SHARING THE STORY AS A REMINDER TO MICROCHIP YOUR DOG AND KEEP THAT INFORMATION UP TO DATE.

>>> AMONG THE CAST OF CHARACTERS AT COMIC CON THIS WEEK YOU WILL FIND SOME MAD SCIENTISTS.

WHILE THEY ARE VERY MUCH ALIVE AND SCIENCE FICTION FANTASY, THE TRUE DATA TELLS A DIFFERENT STORY.

WE HAVE THIS REALITY CHECK FROM THE LABORATORY.

>> IT'S A LIFE.

>> I AM READY TO TRY MY EXPERIMENTS ON A HUMAN.

>> $100 BILLION.

>> Reporter: SHE IS NOT REALLY DR.

EVIL.

SHE IS A ROCKET SCIENTIST WHOSE LABORATORY IS OFTEN A CLASSROOM WITH STUDENTS.

THE ANSWER IS, A LOT OF IT HAS ALREADY HAPPENED.

>> AS WE STAND ON THE PRECIPICE, THE RETURN OF VICTOR LOOMS OVER US.

>> YOU DO NOT HAVE LIMITS OR LAWS BUT YOU HAVE EVERYTHING YOU NEED AT YOUR FINGERTIPS.

DO YOU USE IT FOR GOOD OR EVIL?

IT'S NOT THE TECHNOLOGY THAT IS GOOD OR EVIL.

IT'S THE PERSON.

>> Reporter: J IS ALSO AT COMIC CON.

SHE'S A REAL SCIENTIST FROM PHILADELPHIA DOING REAL RESEARCH TO CURE PANCREATIC CANCER.

SHE KNOWS THE STEREOTYPE SHE IS FIGHTING.

>> IT IS USUALLY EVIL OR MAD OR VERY EINSTEIN WITH THE WHITE HAIR THAT IS VERY CRAZY.

>> Reporter: SHE IS NONE OF THAT.

SHE DOES HAVE CREDENTIALS IN CREATING COMICS, SOMETHING SHE HAS DONE SINCE SHE WAS IN GRADUATE SCHOOL, HER OWN WAY OF TEACHING SCIENCE IN AN UNSCIENTIFIC WAY.

>> WANTING TO SHOW SCIENCE IN A MORE FUN AND INTERESTING LIGHT THAN THE TEXTBOOKS PROVIDE ARE SOMETIMES HOW THE LECTURES ARE GIVEN.

IT IS FAR LESS INTERESTING THAN WHAT SCIENCE REALLY IS.

>> I LIKE TO THINK OF CODING AS A RECIPE THAT WE WRITE THAT A COMPUTER CAN FOLLOW.

>> Reporter: TRACY IS A COMPUTER SCIENTIST FROM SEATTLE.

SHE'S IN SAN DIEGO FOR THE MYTH BUSTING PANEL AS WELL.

>> Reporter: WHAT SHE LACKS IN HER IMPERSONATION SHE MAKES UP FOR IN HER WORK.

SHE LEADS A TEAM OF ENGINEERS THAT PROCESSES MILLIONS OF SATELLITE IMAGES USING AI TO PRODUCE REAL MAPS OF THE EARTH THAT CAN HELP ENVIRONMENTAL LEADERS MAKE DECISIONS TO COMBAT CLIMATE CHANGE.
