AND BY VIEWERS LIKE YOU, THANK YOU.

>>> STATE LEADERS ARE LOOKING TO SAN DIEGO TO PREVENT GUN VIOLENCE.

THANK YOU FOR JOINING US.

AS CALIFORNIA EXPANDS A PROGRAM THAT IDENTIFIES AND DISARMS DANGEROUS GUN OWNERS.

WE WERE THERE FOR THE ANNOUNCEMENT TODAY.

>> Reporter: GUN VIOLENCE RESTRAINING ORDERS PREVENT PEOPLE FROM ACCESSING FIREARMS IF THE COURT DECIDES THAT THEY ARE A DANGER TO THEMSELVES AND OTHERS.

THE CITY ATTORNEY SAYS THAT SAN DIEGO HAS GONE MORE OF THOSE RESTRAINING ORDERS.

THERE ARE 3700 WEAPONS TAKEN OFF OF THE STREETS.

PART OF THAT EFFORT IS EDUCATING ON HOW TO GET RESTRAINING ORDERS.

IT IS A COMMONSENSE TOOL THAT CAN SAVE LIVES.

>> WE ARE SEEING MASS SHOOTINGS WHERE YOU GO BACK AND YOU INTERVIEW FRIENDS AND FAMILY AND THEY SAY, YEAH, THEY DID SAY SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

YOU SEE THE WRITING ON SOCIAL MEDIA WERE ON THEIR OWN NOTES.

THEY ARE PLANNING TO HARM OTHERS.

WHAT DID YOU WANT TO KNOW THAT AND PREVENT IT FROM HAPPENING IN THE FIRST PLACE?

>> ALSO PAYING FOR THE CITY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE.

ON RESTRAINING ORDERS THAT PREDICT GUN POSSESSION.

>> A MODEL FOR OTHER CITIES ACROSS THE STATE, CITY AND COUNTRY.

>> IF THEY WANT TO KEEP THE COMMUNITY SAVERS OR THEIR NEIGHBORHOODS, THEIR WORKPLACES, SCHOOLS AND BUSINESSES, THIS IS A POWERFUL TOOL THAT IS BEING UNDERUTILIZED.

IT CAN BE UTILIZED FAIRLY UNLAWFULLY FOR SAFETY.

>> LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES HAVE FOUND A TASK FORCE TO MAKE SURE THAT THE LAWS ARE ENFORCED.

>>> JUMPING AHEAD IN TIME, WE ARE LOOKING AHEAD TO TONIGHT.

69, THE WORDING HAS NOT CHANGED TOO MUCH.

THOSE CLOUDS WILL STAY ON TOWARDS THE COASTAL AREAS.

THIS WILL BE THE STORY OVER HERE FOR THE NEXT FEW DAYS.

LATE AT NIGHT, EARLY IN THE MORNING.

WE ARE TRACKING A FEW STORM CHANCES.

WHICH AREAS ARE MOST LIKELY TO SEE A STORM OR TWO.

COMING UP.

>>> TWO MONTHS SINCE JOE BIDEN SIGNED THE EXECUTIVE ACTION ALLOWING ASYLUM ACROSS THE SOUTHERN BORDER.

WE HAVE THE STORY.

>> IN APRIL, BORDER CONTROL AGENTS RIGHT HERE IN SAN DIEGO APPREHENDED 10,000 MIGRANTS IN A SINGLE WEEK.

AS THOUSANDS OF MIGRANTS AND ASYLUM SEEKERS WERE RELEASED INTO THE STREETS OF SAN DIEGO.

THE NUMBER HAS BEEN CUT IN HALF SINCE JOE BIDEN SIGNED THE EXECUTIVE ACTION IN EARLY JUNE.

U.S. CUSTOMS AND BORDER PROTECTION IS APPREHENDING LESS THAN 4000 MIGRANTS PER WEEK.

MARK LEVIN TOOK A VICTORY LAP ON SOCIAL MEDIA.

>> THE BEST NEWS IS THAT FOR THE LAST THREE WEEKS WE HAVE SEEN NO RELEASES IN THE SAN DIEGO SECTOR.

>> IT PROHIBITS ASYLUM FOR ANYONE WHO CROSSED THE BORDER ILLEGALLY.

THAT WILL LIMIT ASYLUM ONLY FOR PEOPLE WHO HAVE AN APPOINTMENT THROUGH THE GOVERNMENTS ACT.

ADVOCATES ARE RELUCTANT TO CREDIT BIDEN FOR THE ENTIRE DECREASE.

IT IS JUST ONE OF MULTIPLE CONTRIBUTING FACTORS THAT LOWER NUMBERS.

>> MEXICO IS CONTINUING TO CRACKDOWN ON MIGRATION LEVELS AT THE AIRPORT AND ALSO IN SOUTHERN STATES IN OTHER AREAS AS WELL.

>> AND ACTIVIST WITH THE SERVICE COMPANY.

>> TENDS TO TAKE A LOW, THAT CAN BE AN IMPORTANT FACTOR AS WELL.

>> PEOPLE SHOULD NOT ASSUME THAT THE DROPPING APPREHENSION MEANS THAT THERE ARE FEWER MIGRANTS TO GET ACROSS THE BORDER.

IT DOES NOT ADDRESS THE ROOT CAUSES OF MIGRATION LIKE VIOLENCE, POVERTY, CLIMATE CHANGE.

>> ALL THESE FACTORS COME TOGETHER TO FORM CONDITIONS WHERE PEOPLE ARE NO LONGER ABLE TO LIVE.

AND IT CONTRIBUTES TO THE COUNTRY OF OREGON -- ORIGIN WHERE THEY DECIDE TO MIGRATE NORTH.

>>> THE COMMISSION ON POLICE PRACTICES RECOMMEND THAT THEY CHANGE THE VEHICLE PURSUIT POLICY.

THE POLICE UNION IS PUSHING BACK.

>> THE COMMISSION BEGAN REVIEWING THE POLICY AFTER A DECEMBER CAR CHASE KILLED MASON AND MALACHI JUST FOR AND EIGHT YEARS OLD.

>> TO HAVE SOMETHING LIKE THAT HAPPEN, THERE IS NO NEED FOR RECKLESSNESS TO THAT DEGREE ON THE STREETS.

>> A MAJORITY OF CASES STARTED OVER MINOR INFRACTIONS LIKE SPEEDING OR RUNNING A RED LIGHT.

ONE IN FIVE INVOLVED A CRASH.

MOST OF WHICH LEFT SOMEONE INJURED.

THEY INVOLVED BLACK AND LATINO RESIDENTS.

>> WE SEE COPS SPEEDING BY AND WE GIVEN NO SECOND THOUGHT.

>> THEY SUGGESTED CHANGES NEXT MONTH.

THE POLICE ONLY START CAR CHASES FOR VIOLENT FELONIES.

IT IS NOT UNUSUAL.

MANY CITIES ALREADY DO THIS.

THE POLICE OFFICERS ASSOCIATION DID NOT RESPOND TO INTERVIEW REQUESTS.

THEY DID POST ON SOCIAL MEDIA.

CALLING THE ADJUSTED CHANGE DANGEROUS AND HORRIFIC.

IT WOULD PREVENT THEM FROM PURSUING SUSPECTS FOR THINGS LIKE DRUNK DRIVING OR BATTERY.

FLORIDA SAYS THAT THE RECOMMENDATIONS WERE PRELIMINARY FOR A REASON.

THEY WANT TO TALK AND GET FEEDBACK.

KPBS NEWS.

>>> ALLOWING WORKERS TO LIVE CLOSER TO THEIR JOBS.

WE HAVE THE LATEST.

VICE PRESIDENT KAMALA HARRIS SELECTING TIM WALZ AS HER RUNNING MATE.

>> WILL YOU BE MY RUNNING MATE AND GET THINGS ON THE ROAD?

>> I WOULD BE HONORED, MADAME VICE PRESIDENT.

THE ENTHUSIASM THAT IS OUT THERE, IT WOULD BE A PRIVILEGE.

>> THE 60-YEAR-OLD EMERGE AS A FAVORITE FOR SOME HIGH-PROFILE DEMOCRATS AND LABOR UNIONS.

A SOURCE FAMILIAR WITH THE PROCESS SAYS THAT HARRIS WAS IMPRESSED BY THE GOVERNOR'S AUTHENTICITY.

>> I AM WHO I AM.

>> WALZ IS A VETERAN AND FORMER CONGRESSMAN FOR 12 YEARS.

HE WAS A HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL COACH AND TEACHER.

>> I DON'T KNOW IF EVERY HIGH SCHOOL GEOGRAPHY TEACHER EXPECTS TO BE IN THIS POSITION AT SOME POINT.

IT IS STRANGE TO BE RUNNING ON MY TREADMILL AND HAVE PEOPLE TALKING ABOUT THE THINGS THAT ARE THERE.

HE IS AN EFFECTIVE MESSENGER.

THE FIRST TWO REFER TO THE GOP TICKET AS WEIRD.

>> SOME OF THESE GUYS ARE JUST WEIRD.

DON'T GIVE THEM THE POWER.

>> THEY WILL HIT THE GROUND RUNNING ON TUESDAY EVENING MAKING SEVERAL STOPS IN BATTLEGROUND STATES THROUGHOUT THE WEEK.

>>> A SAN DIEGO-BASED NAVY DOCTOR COULD BE FORCED AT THE BASICS SERVING COMMAND IN SAN DIEGO.

ONE OF THEM SPOKE OUT THIS WEEK ON A POPULAR PODCAST.

>> IN FEBRUARY OF 2022, STEPHEN KYLE MOLIN DIED AFTER FINISHING WEEK REFERRED TO AS BUDS.

HE DIED OF ACUTE PNEUMONIA.

OFFICIALS FOUND PERFORMANCE ENHANCING DRUGS IN HIS VEHICLE.

THE INVESTIGATION SAID THAT THE AUTOPSY DID NOT TEST FOR THEM.

THIS OVERSIGHT MIGHT COST HIM HIS CAREER.

THE COMMANDING OFFICER OF THE TRAINING COMMITTEE WHEN HE DIED.

HE SPOKE OUT THIS WEEK DURING THE APPEARANCE ON THE SEAN MORAN PODCAST.

THE NAVY HAS NOT BEEN HONEST ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED.

>> IT HAS BEEN SUPPRESSED.

THAT HAS BEEN AN INJUSTICE.

NOT JUST FOR THE MULLEN FAMILY.

AND ALSO FOR MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS THAT WERE VILIFIED.

>> NAVY INVESTIGATION INTO THE CIRCUMSTANCES BLAME SEAL LEADERS AND NAVY MEDICAL STAFF.

HE RECOMMENDED SEVERAL OF THEM BE PUNISHED.

THE NAVY TOLD THE FORMER SENIOR MEDICAL OFFICER THAT IT IS AN ADMINISTRATIVE POINT ON IF THEY GET TO STAY IN THE NAVY.

HE BLASTED THE NAVY'S FINDINGS OVER THE SIX HOUR-LONG PODCAST.

THEY IGNORED EVIDENCE AND NOT HIS LEADERSHIP THAT CONTRIBUTED TO THE DEATH.

>> THE ONLY CRIME HERE START TO FINISH IS CONTROLLED SUBSTANCES ON A U.S.

INSTALLATION.

>> IT IS PROCEEDING WITH ACCOUNTABILITY ACTIONS AGAINST THE OFFICERS.

BECAUSE THEY ARE ADMINISTRATIVE IT WILL NOT COMMENT FURTHER.

THE SERVICE ANNOUNCED AND OVERHAULED MEDICAL OVERSIGHT BUDGET.

A DATE FOR THE BOARD'S INQUIRY HAS NOT BEEN SET.

>>> TENSIONS IN THE MIDDLE EAST ARE HAVING AN IMPACT ON SAN DIEGO'S MILITARY COMMUNITY.

THE PENTAGON ORDERED THE USS ABRAHAM LINCOLN TO GO TO THE REGION TO ASSIST ISRAEL.

THE LINCOLN WAS ALREADY DEPLOYED AROUND THE PACIFIC WHEN IT PROCEEDED TO FOLLOW NEW ORDERS ON FRIDAY.

THE NEWS IS CONCERNING FOR FAMILY MEMBERS HERE AT HOME.

>> MY MOM IS CONCERNED, THAT IS HER BABY GIRL.

SHE'LL BE GOOD, SHE'LL BE FINE.

I'M NOT AFRAID FOR HER.

I'M SUPER PROUD OF HER.

SHE SHOULD BE PROUD OF HERSELF.

SHE IS GOING TO BE A DIFFERENT PERSON, A BETTER PERSON.

>> THE LINCOLN IS GOING TO THE MIDDLE EAST TO REPLACE THE USS THEODORE ROOSEVELT.

NO WORD WHEN IT WILL ARRIVE IN THE MIDDLE EAST.

>>> THERE IS ONE SPECIAL CAMP THAT CATERS TO CHILDREN OF ALL AND AND INJURED SERVICE MEMBERS.

TO MEET THE CHALLENGES THAT KEEP -- CHALLENGE THESE CHILDREN AFTER THEIR PARENTS GIVE THE ULTIMATE SACRIFICE.

IT SEEMED LIKE A TYPICAL SUMMER CAMP.

HERE AT CAMP CORRAL, EVERY CAMPER IS CONNECTED THROUGH A SIMILAR LOSS.

CHILDREN OF WOUNDED AND FALLEN U.S. SERVICE MEMBERS.

>> I'VE SEEN PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME SITUATION AS ME.

EACH TIME I KNOW I WILL NOT BE ALONE.

>> ONLY TWO MONTHS OLD WHEN HIS DAD DIED OF A HEART CONDITION WHILE SERVING IN THE MARINES.

>> ABLE TO CONNECT WITH OTHER KIDS THAT LOST THEIR DAD WHEN THEY WERE VERY LITTLE AND THEY DON'T HAVE A WHOLE BUNCH OF MEMORIES.

IT IS SOMETHING THAT THEY CAN KIND OF CONNECT TO BOND OVER.

>> LOCATIONS IN 17 STATES.

SINCE 2011 AND HAS HOSTED THOUSANDS OF CAMPERS BETWEEN THE AGES OF 8-15 FOR DEALING WITH THE DRAMATIC LOSS OF A PARENT.

>> MOST IMPORTANT THING THAT WE LEARNED, THEY KNOW THAT THEY ARE NOT ALONE.

>> COUNSELORS ARE ON-SITE TO HELP THE CHILDREN NAVIGATE LOSING A PARENT I GOT AN EARLY AGE.

>> TO BE UPSTANDING AND BRAVE JUST LIKE MY MARINE WAS.

IT IS HELPFUL TO HAVE THOSE OTHER MENTORS AND THE COUNSELORS HERE.

AND PEOPLE LIKE THAT, THEY KIND OF POUR INTO HIM AND POUR INTO HIS LIFE.

>> THE DIFFERENCE IS FELT EVERY DAY.

>> IT IS HIGH-QUALITY, IT IS FUN, IT IS A GREAT PLACE.

>> IVAN RODRIGUEZ REPORTING.

>>> RESEARCHERS HAVE A NEW TOOL TO SPEED UP CANCER DIAGNOSES.

NAI PLATFORM CALLED DEEP HRD.

>> THE TISSUE CAN BE EXAMINED UNDER A MICROSCOPE, OR ANALYZED WITH ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE.

A THIRD OPTION IS SHOWING A LOT OF ADVANTAGES.

A NEW A.I.

PLATFORM CAN SPOT MOLECULAR PATTERNS IN TISSUE SAMPLE IMAGES.

SHOWING BREAST CANCERS WERE CAUSED BY A DEFICIENCY CALLED HRD.

THIS SHOWS HOW THE A.I.

PROCESSES THE PICTURE TO SEARCH FOR THE POINTS OF INTEREST.

KNOWING THAT IT IS CAUSED BY HRD OR SOMETHING ELSE MEANS KNOWING WHAT TREATMENT TO USE AND KNOWING IT QUICKLY.

A POSTDOCTORAL RESEARCHER SAYS THAT A GENETIC TEST ON A TUMOR CAN TAKE WEEKS.

WHILE A.I.

CAN PERFORM ITS VISUAL ANALYSIS IN MINUTES.

>> IT IS A LOT CHEAPER, QUICKER, WE CAN RUN THIS IF WE THINK THERE MIGHT BE SOME POSSIBILITY.

THE RISK OF RUNNING THE TOOL IS ZERO.

YOU CAN GET A DIAGNOSIS.

>> THE TOOL HAS BEEN TESTED ON PATIENTS THAT HAVE BREAST OR OVARIAN CANCER.

THEY FOUNDED A COMPANY TO MARKET THE A.I.

PLATFORM.

THE ORGANIZATION IS FEELING THE BURN.

>> IT IS AN EMERGENCY.

>> WITH VACATIONS AND OTHER SUMMER ACTIVITIES, THE RED ROSSI'S FURTHER DWINDLING DONATIONS.

THE ORGANIZATION SAYS THAT THE INVENTORY PLUNGED 25% IN JULY WHILE HOSPITAL NEEDS REMAIN THE SAME.

HURRICANE SEASON IS RAMPING UP WHICH COULD RAISE DEMAND EVEN MORE.

>> THE AMERICAN RED CROSS DOES HAVE A NATIONAL INVENTORY SYSTEM SO THAT NO REGION WILL GO WITHOUT BLOOD.

IT IS THAT MUCH MORE IMPORTANT FOR THE AREAS THAT ARE NOT IMPACTED TO HAVE INDIVIDUALS COME OUT AND DONATE.

>> TYPE O POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE .

LOW SUPPLIES HAVE FORCED A REDUCTION OF HOW MUCH OF THIS CRITICAL BLOOD TYPE IT IS ABLE TO PROVIDE TO HOSPITALS.

>> DRAMAS, BURN PATIENTS, PATIENTS WITH CANCER, HEART SURGERIES, THOSE ARE GOING ON ALL THE TIME AROUND THE CLOCK.

AS THE SUMMER ROLLS ON AND YOU ARE BUSY, PLEASE REMEMBER THE PEOPLE WHO ARE IN HOSPITALS TODAY.

>> MY NAME IS CURTIS.

I AM A REGULAR VIOLENT HERE HERE.

I'VE BEEN WORKING HERE FOR SIX OR SEVEN YEARS NOW.

TRYING TO PUT TOOLS IN THE HANDS OF PEOPLE AND THEIR BIKES AND TRYING TO GET THEM TO HANDLE IT THEMSELVES.

>> I THINK YOU WANT TO PUT IN THE OTHER SIDE FIRST., LET'S SEE.

I WILL JUST TAKE THE BREAK OFF HERE WITH THESE TWO BOLTS.

IT'S WORKING ALL RIGHT.

THIS IS THE NUMBER ONE COMMON THING THAT KEEPS THE BIKE SITTING IN THE GARAGE.

TAKING IT TO THE BIKE SHOP CAN BE REALLY DIFFICULT FOR PEOPLE.

WHEN THEY CAN AFFORD TO GO TO A BIKE SHOP, THEY KNOW THAT WE ARE HERE.

>> THIS PLACE IS AWESOME IN THE SENSE THAT I DON'T HAVE TO GIVE UP MOST OF MY SUNDAY AND I CAN COME OUT AND SUPPORT THE COMMUNITY.

WE WANT TO HELP PEOPLE BECOME SELF-SUFFICIENT CYCLISTS.

BIKE SHOPS CAN BE EXPENSIVE OR INTIMIDATING TO BE WALKING IN.

I HAVE GONE TO SEVERAL BIKE SHOPS WHERE I FELT UNWELCOME.

THEY JUST WANT TO COME TO A SAFE AND WELCOMING ENVIRONMENT.

THAT IS THE WHOLE PURPOSE OF THIS.

>> SHE DIDN'T LIKE IT.

DO YOU WANT A RECEIPT VIA EMAIL?

OKAY, WE WILL PASS IT ON.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

>> I HOPE IT WORKS OUT.

>> I HAVE SEEN KIDS GETTING ON BIKES.

IT'S SUPER IMPORTANT.

IF YOU DON'T LEARN THAT AS A KID, IT CAN BE HARD TO LEARN IT LATER ON IN LIFE.

NOW YOU GET OLDER, IT GETS MORE AND MORE SCARY.

IT IS FUN TO RIDE AROUND AND LEARN NEIGHBORHOOD AND LEARN YOUR WAY AROUND.
