THANK YOU.

>> THE SUPREME COURT IS BACKING PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP'S EFFORTS TO RESTRICT MAIL-IN VOTING.

THANK YOU FOR JOINING US, I'M MAYA TRABULSI.

YESTERDAY'S SUPREME COURT RULING RESTRICTED MAIL-IN BALLOTS.

AS KPBS REPORTER ALEXANDER MAY NOT RESULT IN ANY CHANGES FOR THE ELECTIONS, BUT IT'S CHANGING VOTING HABITS.

>> ROBERT CARROLL VOTED BY MAIL IN THE JUNE PRIMARY ELECTION.

HE DISAGREES WITH THE SUPREME COURT'S LATEST DECISION.

>> I THINK IT'S A WAY TO CONTROL THE VOTE WHICH IS MAIL-IN VOTING.

>> THAT'S THE SENTIMENT IN THE MALCOLM X CENTER IN VALENCIA PARK.

23 STATES INCLUDING CALIFORNIA SUED.

YESTERDAY THE SUPREME COURT LIFTED THE INJUNCTION SAYING IT WAS TOO EARLY FOR THE STATES TO SUE BECAUSE THE ORDER HASN'T BEEN IMPLEMENTED YET.

TRUMP HAS RAILED AGAINST MAIL-IN BALLOTS SINCE LOSING THE 2020 ELECTION CLAIMING VOTER FRAUD.

STEPHEN GOGGIN IS A POLITICAL SCIENCE PROFESSOR AT SAN DIEGO STATE UNIVERSITY.

>> VOTER FRAUD IS EXCEEDINGLY RARE.

>> THE METHOD MOST SAN DIEGANS USE TO VOTE.

>> THERE IS A MISUNDERSTANDING AND IT'S NOT JUST ABOUT VOTERS MAILING THE BALLOTS BACK.

IF THOSE DON'T GO OUT PEOPLE HAVE TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO VOTE IN PERSON OR GET THEM BY ALTERNATIVE MEANS?

CALIFORNIANS OVERWHELMINGLY VOTE BY MAIL.

HERE IN SAN DIEGO IT WAS 92.

>> THERE ARE ALL THESE OTHER COURT CHALLENGES IN OTHER COURTS AROUND THE NATION THAT ARE BEING MADE, AND SO WE DON'T HAVE A FINAL WORD YET ON WHAT THIS MEANS FOR MAIL-IN BALLOTING.

>> CALIFORNIA ATTORNEY GENERAL ROD BONTA SAID WE WILL CONTINUE TO USE EVERY LEGAL TOOL AT OUR DISPOSAL OVER UNLAWFUL FEDERAL OVERREACH WHENEVER IT OCCURS.

>> SHIRLEY WEBBER SAYS CALIFORNIA'S ELECTION RULES REMAINS IN PLACE WHILE LEGAL CHALLENGES CONTINUE.

ALEXANDER NGUYEN, KPBS NEWS.

>>> RECENT POLICY CHANGES FROM THE PENTAGON SAY SENIOR LEADERSHIP IS PRIORITIZING GROOMING STANDARDS ESPECIALLY WHEN IT COMES TO SHAVING.

ANDREW DYER SAYS IT DISPROPORTIONATELY AFFECTS THE CAREERS OF BLACK MEN IN UNIFORM.

>> THE PENTAGON RULES ARE TARGETING TROOPS WITH SHAVING WAIVERS, SOMETIMES CALLED SHAVE PROFILES.

SINCE THE 1980s MOST MEN IN UNIFORM HAVE BEEN REQUIRED TO BE CLEAN SHAVEN.

THAT MEANS A CLOSE SHAVE EVERY MORNING, BUT FOR A LOT OF MEN THAT'S JUST NOT POSSIBLE.

MULTIPLE STUDIES HAVE SHOWN A CONDITION CALLED PSEUDOFOLLICULITIS CAN AFFECT BLACK PEOPLE.

A DERMATOLOGIST AT UC SAN DIEGO.

>> IT IS ACTUALLY A VERY COMMON CONDITION.

>> THE CONDITION AFFECTS PEOPLE WITH COARSE AND CURLY FACIAL HAIR.

IT REGROWS INTO THEIR SKIN.

SERVICE MEMBERS COULD HARM THEMSELVES BY SHAVING JUST TO STAY IN THE MILITARY.

THAT COULD HAVE LONG-TERM CONSEQUENCES.

>> IT CAN CAUSE SEVERE DISFIGUREMENT, SCARRING, SOMETIMES COLLODIAL SCARRING THAT CAN REQUIRE SURGERY TO REMOVE AND IT CAN BE COSMETICALLY DISFIGURING, BUT CAN ALSO BE SYMPTOMATIC AND PAINFUL.

IN THAT POPULATION IT'S A HUGE DEAL.

>> SERVICE MEMBERS WITH THE CONDITION CAN BE EXEMPTED FROM SHAVING EVERY DAY.

A 2023 AIR FORCE STUDY FOUND 65% OF PEOPLE WITH SHAVING PROFILES WERE BLACK.

IT'S A SWELTERING SUMMER AFTERNOON AT THE CUTTING EDGE BARBERSHOP.

HE'S FAMILIAR WITH MILITARY GROOMING STANDARDS.

HE'S CUT HAIR AND UP AND DOWN THE RANKS.

>> THROUGHOUT THE YEARS I'VE CUT SO MANY MILITARY CLIENTS THAT IF YOU ARE AN E-5 AND UNDER I SOMETIMES KNOW YOUR JOB BETTER THAN YOURSELF.

>> GANAWAY HAS BEEN A LICENSED BARBER FOR ALMOST 20 YEARS AND HAS OWNED HIS SHOP SINCE 2013.

HE'S ALSO BLACK.

HE SAYS HE DOESN'T SHAVE BECAUSE IF HE DID HE'D ALSO STRUGGLE WITH PFB.

>> FOR PEOPLE THAT DO NOT HAVE THOSE ISSUES DO NOT KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE TO FEEL LIKE YOUR FACE IS ON FIRE.

IT'S ITCHING.

YOU KNOW, WHEN IT'S AT ITS WORST IT'S ALMOST LIKE A CAT JUST GNAWING AT YOUR SKIN AT ALL TIMES, AND IT'S SOMETHING THAT MAKES IT EVEN HARD TO FOCUS.

>> SO WHAT'S BEHIND THE CHANGES AT THE PENTAGON?

AN AUGUST 2025 MEMO INSTRUCTS LEADERS TO START TAKING OUT ANYONE WITH A SHAVE PROFILE THAT LASTS LONGER THAN 12 MONTHS.

DEFENSE SECRETARY PETE HEGSETH BROUGHT IT UP DURING HIS SPEECH TO MILITARY LEADERS IN SEPTEMBER.

>> IN THE ERA OF UNPROFESSIONAL APPEARANCE IS OVER.

NO MORE BEARDOS.

THE ERA OF RAMPANT AND RIDICULOUS SHAVING PROFILES IS DONE.

>> THIS SUMMER THERE'S BEEN RENEWED EMPHASIS ON THE ISSUE.

EACH BRANCH IS OUT WITH ITS OWN POLICIES ON THE SHAVING WAIVERS.

TROOPS ARE TO UNDERGO TREATMENT IN THREE-MONTH BLOCKS IF ISSUED AN EXEMPTION.

IF THEY'RE UNABLE TO SHAVE DAILY AFTER 12 MONTHS COMMANDERS ARE TO PROCESS THEM FOR ADMINISTRATIVE SEPARATION.

THE WAIVERS AREN'T UNCOMMON ACROSS THE MILITARY FOR BLACK MEN.

>> WHEN I WAS ON ACTIVE DUTY WE HAD MARINES WITH SHAVE WAIVERS.

>> ATTORNEY BOB MUTH WAS A MILITARY LAWYER.

TODAY, HE'S A LAW PROFESSOR AND THE VICE DEAN AT THE UNIVERSITY OF SAN DIEGO SCHOOL OF LAW.

>> I THINK WHAT'S UNUSUAL ABOUT THIS IS THE SEVERITY OR IMPORTANCE OF THIS JUST SEEMS MINIMAL.

CLEARLY, THERE WILL BE A SEVERE DISPARATE IMPACT ON AFRICAN-AMERICAN SERVICE MEMBERS AND MAKE UP THE MAJORITY OF SHAVE WAIVERS.

>> IT IS FLAWED AND NO CURE FOR PFB.

>> IT'S NOT A PROBLEM WE KNOW WITH HYGIENE.

IT'S NOT A PROBLEM WITH MEDICATIONS.

IT'S REALLY A BIOLOGY PROBLEM.

SO THE BIOLOGY IS CURLY HAIR AGAINST THE SKIN BECAUSE OF SHAVING.

THE CURE IS TO NOT SHAVE.

SO THAT REALLY IS THE SOLUTION TO PFB.

>> GANAWAY, THE BARBER, SAYS THERE ARE THINGS TO DO TO MINIMIZE THE EFFECTS LIKE USING HOT TOWELS AND NEVER SHAVING HAIR DOWN TO THE SKIN.

>> THE FIRST THING I'D RECOMMEND FOR A PERSON WITH SENSITIVE SKIN THAT HAS TO SHAVE IS USING ONLY THE TRIMMERS.

GETTING CLOSE DOWN TO THE SKIN AS WELL AS USING WHAT'S CALLED A SHAVER AND NOT A RAZOR.

>> MUTH THINKS A LEGAL CHALLENGE BASED ON RACIAL DISCRIMINATION IS UNLIKELY TO BE SUCCESSFUL.

HE ENVISIONS A MORE SUBTLE SOLUTION.

>> I THINK WHAT YOU'LL SEE IS SERVICE MEMBERS DOING EVERYTHING THEY CAN TO STALL THE PROCESS, AND IT'S ALSO POSSIBLE THAT A DIFFERENT SECRETARY WILL COME ALONG WHO WILL HAVE A DIFFERENT VIEW ON THE IMPORTANCE OF BEARDS.

IT SEEMS LIKE THIS IS SOMETHING THAT IS UNIQUELY IMPORTANT TO SECRETARY HEGSETH.

>> PENTAGON LEADERSHIP MIGHT BE AWARE OF THIS.

JUST THIS MONTH IT ORDERED NAVAL COMMANDERS TO SUBMIT MONTHLY REPORTS ON EACH PERSON WITH A SHAVING WAIVER.

ANDREW DYER, KPBS NEWS.

>> I'M ARIELA SCALISE, TONIGHT IN THE 70s UNDER PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES AND WE CONTINUE TO TRACK THE HEAT EVEN PEAKING THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK.

WE ARE TRACKING A COOLDOWN, AND I'LL LET YOU KNOW WHEN THAT ARRIVES COMING UP.

>>> FIRE CREWS HAVE GAINED GROUND BATTLING BLAZES IN NEVADA.

THE FIRE JUST OUTSIDE OF RENO WAS 27% CONTAINED AS OF MONDAY AFTERNOON ACCORDING TO OFFICIAL, BUT THE FIRE WHICH HAS SCORCHED SOME 15,000 ACRES SINCE STARTING OVER THE WEEKEND STILL POSES A MAJOR THREAT FOR RESIDENTS AND CONTINUED CHALLENGES FOR FIREFIGHTERS.

MARYBEL GONZALEZ HAS THE LATEST.

>> HIS CHILDHOOD HOME IN RENO, NEVADA, IS SOMEHOW STILL STANDING.

>> EVERYONE THAT I KNOW THEIR HOUSE HAS STAYED UP, BUT THERE ARE A LOT OF HOUSES THAT HAVE BEEN LOST OUT HERE.

A TON, AND IT'S SUPER DEPRESSING.

>> TAYLOR SAID THE FLAMES FROM THE FIRE CAME FROM THE PEAK SCENE ACROSS THE RENO SKYLINE AFTER SKIMMING HIS PARENTS' FENCE AND A SHED ON THEIR PROPERTY, THE BLAZE CIRCLED TO ANOTHER PART OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD BURNING HOMES AS SPREAD.

>> I FEEL SO BAD FOR EVERYONE.

>> TENS OF THOUSANDS EVACUATED THE AREA AND COTS LINE THE WALLS FOR DISPLACED RESIDENTS.

>> I ACTUALLY DIDN'T GET THE ORDER.

I LEFT TO GO TO THE STORE, AND AS I WAS COMING BACK THEY HAD EVERYTHING BLOCKED.

SO I DON'T HAVE MY PURSE.

I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING WITH ME.

>> FIREFIGHTERS HAVE MADE PROGRESS.

AUTHORITIES SAID THERE WAS NO NEW FIRE GROWTH AS OF MONDAY AFTERNOON, AND EVACUATION ORDERS FOR THOUSANDS WERE DOWNGRADED, ALLOWING SOME PEOPLE TO RETURN HOME.

>> JUST REBUILD AND TRY TO TAKE THE BEST OF IT AS YOU CAN.

>> STILL, FIREFIGHTERS CONTINUE TO BATTLE FLAMES AHEAD OF GUSTY WEATHER CONDITIONS THAT COULD MAKE THINGS WORSE.

THIS, AS AUTHORITIES SAY, THEY BELIEVE THE FIRE THAT STARTED SATURDAY WAS HUMAN CAUSED, BUT HAVEN'T SAID HOW IT STARTED OR WHETHER IT WAS SET INTENTIONALLY.

>> IT'S STILL UNDER INVESTIGATION, BUT WE WILL TURN OVER EVERY ROCK TO FIND WHOEVER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS.

>> MARYBEL GONZALEZ, KPBS NEWS.

>>> THE WORLD'S OCEAN TEMPERATURE SIMILAR TO THEIR HOTTEST ON RECORD OVER THE WEEKEND.

TEMPERATURES HIT OVER 21 DEGREES CELSIUS OR 70 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT ON FRIDAY AND SATURDAY.

THEY ARE LIKELY TO WARM FURTHER IN THE NEXT FEW MONTHS.

THIS IS DUE TO A LARGE EL NINO IN THE PACIFIC AS WELL AS HUMAN-CAUSED CLIMATE CHANGE.

WHEN THE OCEAN WARMS IT BECOMES OR ACIDIC AND CARRIES LESS OXYGEN.

THIS HURTS WILDLIFE INDUSTRIES THAT RELY ON THE OCEAN.

>> MARINE ORGANISMS GET INCREDIBLY STRESSED WHEN THE WATER ENVIRONMENT IS TOO HOT FOR THEM.

IT ALSO LEADS TO FISH MORTALITY BECAUSE THE WARMER OCEAN CARRIES LESS NUTRIENTS AND LESS OXYGEN.

IT CHANGES OUR CIRCULATION AND SWELLING GETS LESS INTENSE, AND WE SEE CHANGES IN THINGS LIKE HARMFUL ALGAE BLOOMS THAT IMPACTS SHELL FISH IN PARTICULAR IN WARMER OCEAN.

>> AN EL NINO IS STILL GROWING AND IT'S EXPECTED TO REACH UNPRECEDENTED LEVELS AT ITS PEAK.

IN PREPARATION, THE CITY OF SAN DIEGO IS UNDERING RESIDENTS IN HIGH FLOOD RISK AREAS THAT REPORT BACKED UP STORM CHANNELS ON THE GET IT DONE APP.

>>> GOLF COURSES ARE IN THE SPOTLIGHT.

ANDREW BOWEN SAYS THE CITY COUNCIL IS RESPONDING TO A RECENT AUDIT.

>> SAN DIEGO OWNS 11 GOLF COURSES AND EIGHT OF THEM ARE LEASED TO PRIVATE OPERATORS.

AUDITORS FOUND MANY OF THOSE LEASES ARE IN HOLDOVER STATUS.

THAT MEANS THE CITY IS LIKELY CHARGING LESS THAN FAIR MARKET VALUE FOR THE USE OF ITS PROPERTY.

AUDITORS FOUND THE CITY HASN'T BEEN INSPECTING ITS LEASED GOLF COURSES REGULARLY AND THAT RAISES THE RISK OF THE PROPERTY'S DEGRADING AND LOSING VALUE.

COUNCIL MEMBER VIVIAN MORENO SAYS THE PROBLEM OF EXPIRED LEASES IS NOT ISOLATED TO JUST GOLF COURSES.

>> AROUND 25% OF THE CITY'S LEASES ARE IN HOLDOVERS MEANING WE'RE LEAVING POTENTIAL REVENUE ON THE TABLE THAT COULD HELP FUND CRITICAL SERVICES THAT OUR RESIDENTS RELY ON LIKE ARTS AND CULTURE, LIBRARIES AND PARKS.

>> THE THREE GOLF COURSES OPERATED INHOUSE BY CITY EMPLOYEES ARE TORREY PINES, MISSION BAY AND BALBOA PARK.

THESE PROPERTIES AREN'T THE SUBJECT OF THE AUDIT, BUT AUDITORS NOTE THEY PRODUCE MORE REVENUE FOR THE CITY ON AVERAGE THAN THE GOLF COURSES THAT HAVE BEEN OUTSOURCED TO PRIVATE OPERATORS.

COUNCIL MEMBER SEAN ELO RIVERA SAID IN PARTICULAR FAIRBANKS RANCH COUNTRY CLUB WAS GETTING A SWEETHEART DEAL ON ITS LEASE.

IT WAS LAST RENEGOTIATED BY MAYOR KEVIN FAULKNER IN 2016.

>> RICH PEOPLE'S GOLF ROUNDS ARE BEING SUBSIDIZED AT A $25,000 PER YEAR COUNTRY CLUB WHILE THEIR REC CENTER HOURS ARE BEING SLASHED AND THEY'RE BEING ASKED TO PAY MORE.

>> THE CITY'S ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT AGREED TO IMPLEMENT ALL OF THE AUDIT'S RECOMMENDATIONS.

THEY INCLUDE RE-NEGOTIATING THE GOLF COURSE LEASES, CONDUCTING MORE REGULAR INSPECTIONS AND EXERCISING MORE OVERSIGHT OF THE OPERATORS.

ANDREW BOWEN, KPBS NEWS.

>>> I'M AMNA NAWAZ.

TONIGHT ON THE NEWSHOUR WE SPEAK WITH CANADA'S TRADE MINISTER ABOUT THE GROWING TRADE WAR WITH THE U.S.

THAT'S COMING UP AT 7:00 AFTER "EVENING EDITION" ON KPBS.

>>> THE U.S.

AND CANADA SEEM TO BE LOCKED IN AN ESCALATING BATTLE OVER TRADE AND TARIFFS WITHOUT THEM DIFFUSING ANY TIME SOON.

CANADA ANNOUNCED NEW TARIFFS INTENDED TO MATCH THOSE BY THE U.S.

OVER THE WEEKEND.

MADDY GANAN HAS THE LATEST.

>> RHETORIC BETWEEN THE U.S.

AND CANADA OVER THE TRADE WAR HAS RAPIDLY ACCELERATED OVER THE LAST 24 HOURS AND IT APPEARS THE BACK AND FORTH IN JABS AND TARIFFS IS JUST GETTING STARTED.

PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP ESCALATED HIS CRITICISMS WITH A SERIES OF POSTS ON TRUTH SOCIAL TUESDAY MORNING THAT STARTED WITH THE POST OF TRUMP SAYING THAT THE U.S.

WAS SERIOUSLY CONSIDERING SEEKING TO RE-NAME LAKON ONTARIO, AND HE CALLED CAN DAT MOST UNREASONABLE COUNTRY TO WORK WITH AND RIPPING AMERICA OFF FOR DECADES.

HIS ADMINISTRATION IS WORKING OUT A NEW DEAL BETWEEN THE U.S., CANADA AND MEXICO DURING TRUMP'S FIRST TERM.

IN RESPONSE THE PREMIERE OF ONTARIO, DOUG FORD ACCUSED TRUMP THURSDAY OF WANTING TO HURT AMERICANS WITH NEW TARIFFS ON CANADA.

>> PRESIDENT TRUMP NEEDS TO TAKE A COUPLE OF PAGES OUT OF RONALD REAGAN'S BOOK THAT WAS DEAD AGAINST TARIFFS.

IT HURTS ANY COUNTRY WHEN YOU PUT TARIFFS ON CANADA ESPECIALLY YOUR NUMBER ONE CUSTOMER IN THE ENTIRE WORLD.

>> CANADA IS ONE OF AMERICA'S TOP TRADING PARTNERS, BUT THE LATEST TRADE WAR WAS SPARKED WHEN TALKS OVER TARIFFS FELL APART LATE LAST WEEK.

AS A RESULT THE U.S.

ALLOWED NEW 50% TARIFFS ON $20 BILLION WORTH OF CANADIAN GOODS TO TAKE EFFECT.

TRUMP IS ALSO THREATENING NEW 50% TARIFFS ON CARS, TRUCKS AND MORE ON THE NEW YEAR.

FOR CANADA'S PART, ON THURSDAY THEY UNVEILED DOLLAR FOR DOLLAR TARIFFS ON THE U.S.

SET TO TAKE EFFECT SEPTEMBER 8th IN RESPONSE.

THE TARIFFS RANGE FROM 15% TO 50% AND TARGET OVER 700 AMERICAN GOODS.

AT THE WHITE HOUSE, I'M MADDY GANNON.

>>> GOVERNOR GAVIN NEWSOM IS ON THE MOVE BEFORE HE SETS HIS SIGHTS ON THE WHITE HOUSE.

HE'S SELLING HIS MANSION IN FAIR OAKS NEAR SACRAMENTO FOR A WHOPPING $7.5 MILLION.

STEVE LARGE REPORTS IT'S A RECORD HIGH PRICE FOR THAT AREA.

>> GOVERNOR GAVIN NEWSOM IS SAYING GOOD-BYE TO HIS SPRAWLING 20,000 FAIR OAKS HOME.

INCLUDING A 1,000 BOTTLE WINE CELLAR THAT DOUBLE AS A LIBRARY.

>> I KNOW THEIR DOG ESCAPED ONE TIME AND THEIR DAUGHTER WENT TO FIND IT AND ONE OF OUR NEIGHBORS WALKED THEM BACK TO THE HOUSE.

>> THE NEIGHBOR SANDY DUNBAR HAS A HANDWRITTEN APOLOGY FOR PROTESTERS THAT SHOWED UP ON THEIR BLOCK.

>> IT'S HARD TO READ HIS WRITING.

I AM SO SORRY FOR THE DISRUPTION I HAVE BROUGHT TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

ALL MY BEST, GAVIN.

>> THAT'S A MEMENTO TO PASS THROUGH GENERATIONS.

>> SURE.

YEAH.

>> THIS IS THE VERY TOP OF THE HOUSING MARKET.

>> HOW MANY POSSIBLE BUYERS WILL TRY TO MEET THE ASKING PRICE FOR THE NEWSOM HOME.

THE NEWSOMS BOUGHT IT FOR A RECORD $3.9 MILLION IN 2018.

THAT RECORD STILL STANDS AS IT NOW HITS THE MARKET FOR $7.5 MILLION.

THIS IS OUTLIER TERRITORY.

VERY FEW PEOPLE COMPETE AT THIS LEVEL.

NEWSOM'S HOME SALE AND MOVE OUT OF SACRAMENTO SETS UP THE REVOLVING RESIDENTS' QUESTION FOR THE NEXT CALIFORNIA GOVERNOR.

WHERE WILL THEY LIVE?

>> REMARKABLY, CALIFORNIA DOES NOT PROVIDE ITS GOVERNOR WITH A RESIDENCE.

>> ROB DESMOND WORKED FOR GOVERNOR ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER.

NEITHER SCHWARZENEGGER OR JERRY BROWN OWNED HOMES IN SACRAMENTO.

HE RENTED THE FLOOR OF THE HYATT REGENCY HOTEL BEFORE RENOVATING AND BRIEFLY MOVING INTO THE HISTORIC GOVERNOR'S MANSION DOWNTOWN.

>> THE PROBLEM IS NO ONE WANTS TO BE THE GOVERNOR THAT COMES IN AND SAYS HEY, TAXPAYERS, BUY ME A HOUSE TO LIVE IN.

AND SO IT'S BECOME A BIT OF OF A POLITICAL DIFFICULT QUESTION.

>> SANDY DUNBAR HOPES WHOEVER THE NEXT GOVERNOR IS THEY MIGHT CONSIDER MAKING THIS THEIR HOME, TOO.

>> IT HAS A TENNIS COURT, IT HAS A SWIMMING POOL.

GREAT NEIGHBORS.

AWESOME NEIGHBORS.

I HAVE TO SAY.

♪ SWEET BYE AND BYE, WE SHALL MEET ON THAT BEAUTIFUL SHORE ♪ .

>> LET'S CHECK IN ON OUR WEATHER HEADLINES AND WHAT WE CAN EXPECT THROUGH THE MIDDLE AND END OF THE WEEK.

WE'LL BE WATCHING FOR THAT THUNDERSTORM CHANCE ACROSS MOUNTAIN LOCATIONS THROUGH THE DAY ON WEDNESDAY WITH THE EXTREME HEAT PEAKING BY THURSDAY AND FRIDAY, BUT GOOD NEWS IS COOLER WEATHER WILL ARRIVE AS WE HEAD INTO THE WEEKEND.

EVEN TONIGHT UNDER A PARTLY CLOUDY SKY, TEMPERATURES STAY QUITE WARM AND BORREGO SPRINGS NOT DROPPING BELOW THE 80s AND MOUNT LAGUNA DROPPING TO 69.

CHULA VISTA, 69 AND SAN DIEGAN OVERNIGHT LOW OF 71.

WATCH FOR THOSE STORM CHANCES ACROSS THE MOUNTAIN LOCATIONS, OTHERWISE THE HEAT CONTINUES TO BACK US THROUGH THE DAY ON WEDNESDAY WITH MY TEMPERATURES ABOVE THE HISTORICAL AVERAGE.

BORREGO SPRING, TRIPLE DIGIT HEAT AT 112.

MOUNT LAGUNA, 81.

YOU CAN SEE THE THUNDERSTORM ICONS, AND WE'LL BE WATCHING FOR THAT THROUGH OUR WEDNESDAY AND STAYING A BRIGHTER OCEANSIDE THROUGH CHULA VISTA WITH TEMPERATURES INTO THE LOW 8 s. ACROSS COASTAL LOOKS, FURTHER INLAND IT IS THE EXTREME HEAT ADVISORY AND EXTREME HEAT WARNING STRETCHES OUT ACROSS THE DESERTS AND THESE ALERTS CONTINUE THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEK.

NOTICE THOSE GO THROUGH FRIDAY AS THE UPPER HIGH HAS CONTINUED TO BRING TEMPERATURES NEAR THOSE RECORD TERRITORIES, AND THAT'S ALSO BEEN INCREASING THE RISK OF HEAT-RELATED ILLNESSES AND BRINGING A HIGHER THAN AVERAGE FIRE RISK.

LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT THE COAST FOR THE NEXT FIVE DAYS.

NOTICE TEMPERATURES CONTINUE TO INCREASE THROUGH FRIDAY AND SLOWLY TAPER OFF AS WE HEAD INTO THE WEEKEND, ALTHOUGH THE HUMIDITY STAYS HIGH.

THE HOTTEST DAYS FURTHER INLAND WILL BE THURSDAY AND FRIDAY, BUT HEY, SUNDAY'S LOOKING BETTER WITH TEMPERATURES BACK INTO THE UPPER 80s.

THERE IS THE THUNDERSTORM CHANCE TOMORROW INTO THE MOUNTAIN LOCATIONS AND THEN WE STAY WARM THURSDAY AND FRIDAY AND DROP OFF A BIT BY THE WEEKEND.

ALL RIGHT, WE HAVE THE STRETCH OF TRIPLE DIGIT HEAT OVER THE NEXT FIVE DAYS ACROSS THE DESERTS.

FOR KPBS NEWS, I'M ARIELA SCALISE.

>>> FROM ARMREST BATTLES TO RECLINING SEATS AND PASSENGERS TAKING OFF THEIR SHOES AND SOCKS, AIR TRAVEL CAN BRING OUT SOME STRONG OPINIONS.

SOCIAL MEDIA'S FULL OF FLYING HORROR STORIES ABOUT BAD MANNERS AND DISRUPTIVE PASSENGERS.

SO WHAT'S CAUSING IT AND WHAT CAN YOU DO IF YOU RUN INTO ONE OF THESE QUITE AWKWARD SITUATIONS?

HERE IS MICHAEL YOSHIDA WITH ADVICE FROM TRAVEL AND ETIQUETTE EXPERTS.

>> FLYING CAN TEST ANYONE'S PATIENCE AND LATELY PASSENGER ETIQUETTE IS GETTING A LOT OF ATTENTION.

>> LISTENING TO MUSIC OR WATCHING VIDEOS WITHOUT HEADPHONES.

WE'VE SEEN THAT WITH ADULTS.

WE'VE SEEN THAT WITH KIDS.

EWAN SAYS IT COMES DOWN TO SHARING SPACE WITH STRANGERS.

>> THE LAPTOP GOT COMPLETE PLEA DESTROYED ON A FLIGHT BECAUSE SOMEONE DECLINED THEIR CHAIR TOO QUICKLY.

SEAN DUFFY AIMED AT IMPROVING CIVILITY.

>> LET'S NOT TRY TO WEAR SLIPPERS AND PAJAMAS AS WE COME TO THE AIRPORT.

WITH SO MANY OPINIONS, A FEW SIMPLE RULES CAN MAKE IT BETTER FOR EVERYONE.

USE HEADPHONES.

GIVE A HEADS-UP BEFORE RECLINING, KEEP YOUR SHOES ON.

PUT YOUR BAG NEAR YOUR ROW, AND WHEN THERE'S A CONFLICT ASK POLITELY INSTEAD OF DEMANDING.

>> BE COURTEOUS.

YOU DON'T WANT TO BE ELBOWING TO GAIN ROOM.

IF YOU ARE TRYING TO WORK ON YOUR LAPTOP, WOULD YOU MIND IF I USE PART OF THIS ARMREST SO I CAN REACH MY KEYBOARD?

YES, WHEN IT COMES TO TAKING OFF YOUR SHOES, ETIQUETTE EXPERTS SAY THINK TWICE.

>> IT'S A NON-NEGOTIABLE FOR MOST FLIGHTS.

THE BOTTOM LINE IS SIMPLE, A LITTLE COURTESY GOES A LONG WAY.

>> CONSIDERATION AND DECENCY FROM FELLOW PASSENGERS, A SMILE, A FRIENDLY NOD.

WE JUST WANT TO FEEL SAFE, SECURE, PROTECTED AND ALSO ENJOY A FLIGHT.
