IT IS TUESDAY, JUNE 1st.

THANK YOU FOR JOINING US.

I AM AT MAYA TRABULSI.

THE FALLOUT FROM A RANSOMWARE ATTACK AT ONE OF SAN DIEGO'S LARGEST HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS IS GROWING .

WE ARE LEARNING SOME 150,000 SCRIPPS HEALTH PATIENTS MAY HAVE HAD THEIR DATA STOLEN DURING A CYBER ATTACK THAT WAS FIRST REPORTED A MONTH AGO.

KPBS REPORTER MATT HOFFMAN'S LIFE IN THE NEWSROOM WITH THE DETAILS.

WHAT CAN YOU TELL US?

>> Reporter: THIS IS A HUGE DEVELOPMENT.

SCRIPPS HEALTH OFFICIALS HAVE NOT BEEN SAYING MUCH ABOUT THIS RANSOMWARE ATTACK THAT IS STILL ONGOING AND IMPACTING THEIR SYSTEM.

NOW WE KNOW DOCUMENTS CONTAINING PATIENT INFORMATION WERE STOLEN.

WHILE MEDICAL RECORDS ARE NOT SPECIFICALLY IMPACTED, QUOTE, HEALTH INFORMATION AND PERSONAL FINANCIAL INFORMATION WAS ACQUIRED.

SCRIPPS ADDED IN A STATEMENT THAT THEY ARE BEGINNING TO SEND OUT LETTERS TO SOMEONE HUNDRED 47,000 PATIENTS SO THEY CAN TAKE STEPS TO PROTECT THEIR INFORMATION.

OFFICIALS ARE ESTIMATING LESS THAN 3% OF PATIENTS HAD SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBERS AND/OR DRIVERS INFORMATION TAKEN.

FOR THOSE PEOPLE, SCRIPPS WILL BE PROVIDING FREE CREDIT MONITORING AND IDENTITY THEFT REDUCTION SERVICES.

THE INCIDENT WAS FIRST REPORTED ON MAY 1st, CAUSING MAJOR DISRUPTIONS FORCING OTHER PROCEDURES TO BE OUTSOURCED, DELAYED, OR CANCELED.

SOME PATIENTS ARE STILL BEING TREATED AT OTHER LOCAL HEALTH SYSTEMS.

HE WILL NOT SAY WHAT HACKERS ARE BEING ASKED FOR IN EXCHANGE FOR THE STOLEN DATA.

DOCUMENTS ARE TRYING TO FIND THE FULL EXTENT OF WHAT WAS TAKEN, AND THAT PROCESS WILL TAKE SEVERAL MONTHS, AS THEY WERE TO NOTIFY THOSE IMPACTED BY THE BREACH.

IN A STATEMENT RELEASED THIS AFTERNOON, OFFICIALS SAY THEY REGRET THE ONGOING CONCERN THIS IS CAUSED PATIENTS IN THE COMMUNITY, AND RIGHT NOW TEAMS ARE WORKING OVERTIME TO ENHANCE THEIR INFORMATION SECURITY SYSTEMS.

SCRIPPS HEALTH IS ASSISTING A FEDERAL LAW ENFORCEMENT INVESTIGATION, AND WHILE SOME SYSTEMS ARE BACKUP, IT IS STILL UNCLEAR EXACTLY A MONTH INTO THIS ATTACK WHEN THE HEALTHCARE SYSTEM WILL BE FULLY BACK ONLINE.

SEND IT BACK TO YOU.

HER MOM, DOMINIQUE, SAYS THE SEA LIONS IN LA JOLLA WERE ON TOP OF THEIR TO-DO LIST.

>> WE DIDN'T REALIZE WE COULD GET SO CLOSE TO THEM.

>> Reporter: THE COUNTY IS ASKING PEOPLE TO ENJOY THE SIGHT OF THE SEA LIONS AND THEIR PUPS, BUT FROM A RESPONSIBLE DISTANCE.

>> WE HAVE SIGNS TODAY, BUT THE MESSAGE IS NOT COMING OUT.

>> Reporter: THE COUNCILMEMBER SAYS THE CITY IS WORKING WITH PARKS AND RECREATION TO ADD ADDITIONAL SIGNAGE TO REMIND VISITORS ABOUT PUPPING SEASON.

>> YOU CAN SEE BLACK-OWNED BUSINESSES LINING THE STREETS.

>> Reporter: MEMORIALIZING THE HUNDREDS OF BLACK AMERICANS KILLED BY A WHITE MOB IN THIS TULSA, OKLAHOMA NEIGHBORHOOD.

>> 100 YEARS, I AM THE FIRST PRESIDENT TO BE HERE DURING THAT ENTIRE TIME, AND IN THIS PLACE, IN THIS GROUND, TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE TRUTH OF WHAT TOOK PLACE HERE.

>> Reporter: THE PRESIDENT HEARING DIRECTLY FROM THREE LIVING SURVIVORS, AND NOT ONLY LOOKING BACK -- >> WORDS WERE EXCHANGED, THEN A SCUFFLE, THEN SHOTS FIRED.

HECK WAS UNLEASHED, LITERALLY.

THROUGH THE NIGHT INTO THE MORNING, THE MOB TERRORIZED GREENWOOD, TORCHES AND GUNS, SHOOTING IT WILL.

>> Reporter: BUT ALSO OUTLINING HIS ADMINISTRATIONS EFFORTS TO COMBAT RACIAL INEQUALITY.

>> WE MUST FIND THE COURAGE TO CHANGE THE THINGS WE KNOW WE CAN CHANGE.

>> Reporter: THE WHITE HOUSE FOCUSED ON HELP FOR MINORITY OWNED BUSINESSES, AND ADDRESSING RACIAL DISCRIMINATION IN THE HOUSING MARKET.

AND WHILE MANY ARE THANKFUL, ACTIVISTS ALSO SAY MORE IS NEEDED.

>> Reporter: CAMILO BURNELL REPORTING.

>>> WHILE PRESIDENT BIDEN MARKED THE CENTENNIAL OF THE TULSA MASSACRE, HERE IN CALIFORNIA, A TASK FORCE CONVENED FOR THE FIRST TIME TO DISCUSS REPARATIONS FOR AFRICAN AMERICANS.

MELISSA BANK DESCRIBES THE TASK FORCE'S RESPONSIBILITIES.

HER BACK A NINE PERSON COMMITTEE WAS CREATED TO STUDY CALIFORNIA'S COMPLICITY IN SLAVERY, DEVELOP PROPOSALS OF WHAT REPARATIONS MIGHT LOOK LIKE FOR DESCENDENTS OF ENSLAVED PEOPLE, AND DETERMINE WHO MIGHT GET PAID.

THE SECRETARY OF STATE SHIRLEY WEBER WROTE THE BILL CREATING A COMMITTEE WHILE SHE WAS STILL AND ASSEMBLYWOMAN FOR THE SAN DIEGO AREA.

>> IT IS FINALLY FULFILLING THE MANDATE OF AB 3121, HOLDING ITS FIRST REPARATIONS TASK FORCE MEETING.

THE FIRST OF ANY STATE IN THIS NATION.

THAT MAKES IT A HISTORIC MOMENT FOR OVER 400 YEARS OF AFRICAN- AMERICANS IN THIS COUNTRY.

WE ARE HERE TODAY BECAUSE THE RACISM OF SLAVERY, BIRTHED IN AN UNJUST SYSTEM WITH A LEGACY OF RACIAL HARM, AND INEQUALITY THAT CONTINUES TODAY IN EVERY ASPECT OF OUR LIFE.

>> Reporter: HER FATHER WAS A SHARECROPPER IN HOPE, ARKANSAS.

HE WAS DENIED THE OPPORTUNITY TO GROW ECONOMICALLY BECAUSE HE WAS FORCED TO HARVEST OTHERS CROPS BEFORE HIS OWN.

>> DESPITE ALL THOSE HONEST EFFORTS THAT WERE THERE, HE WAS STILL BEING STEPPED ON.

AND WHEN HE STOOD UP FOR HIMSELF, HIS LIFE WAS THREATENED.

THAT IS THE STORY OF AFRICAN- AMERICANS IN THIS COUNTRY.

THAT DENIAL WAS NOT ONLY DONE BY INDIVIDUALS, BUT SANCTIONED BY THE GOVERNMENT ITSELF, WHICH MAKES REPARATIONS IN 2021 SO VERY IMPORTANT.

>> Reporter: THE TASK FORCE HAS A YEAR TO DEVELOP AND CREATE REPARATION PROPOSALS.

REPARATIONS MAY BE DIRECT CASH PAYMENTS, SUBSIDIZED EDUCATION OR HEALTHCARE, OR ASSISTANCE FOR DOWN PAYMENTS ON HOUSING.

MELISSA MAY, KPBS NEWS .

>>> A U.S. CITIZEN ACCUSED OF CAPTAINING A SMUGGLING BOAT THAT CRASHED NEAR POINT LOMA KILLING THREE PEOPLE IS FACING TWO DOZEN COUNTS.

HE WAS ARRAIGNED TODAY ON A FEDERAL GRAND JURY INDICTMENT ON CHARGES INCLUDING HUMAN SMUGGLING AND ASSAULT ON A BORDER PATROL OFFICER.

TWO WOMEN AND ONE MAN, ALL MEXICAN CITIZENS, WERE KILLED WHEN THE BOAT CAPSIZED ON MAY 2nd.

COURT AUTO AND 29 OTHERS WERE HOSPITALIZED.

ACCORDING TO AN AFFIDAVIT, MIGRANTS ABOARD THE BOAT SAID THEY PAID UP TO $18,500 TO BE SMUGGLED INTO THE U.S. >>> IT IS THE LATEST IN A SERIES OF SUPREME COURT DECISIONS OVERTURNING RULINGS BY THE NINTH CIRCUIT COURT OF APPEALS.

TODAY, THE SUPREME COURT UNANIMOUSLY RULED IN FAVOR OF THE GOVERNMENT IN A CASE THAT DECIDES HOW COURTS SHOULD RULE ON THE CREDIBILITY OF ASYLUM- SEEKERS CLAIMS.

THE CASE IS BEING REVIEWED, TWO ASYLUM-SEEKERS, ONE FROM CHINA AND THE OTHER FROM MEXICO, FEARED PERSECUTION FROM THEIR COUNTRIES OF ORIGIN, SEEKING PERMISSION TO STAY IN THE U.S.

THE NINTH CIRCUIT COURT DEVIOUSLY RULED THE CLAIMS TO BE CREDIBLE.

>> BASICALLY WHAT THE NINTH CIRCUIT SAID WAS THAT WE HAVE TO BELIEVE THE ALTERNATIVE FACTS BEING OFFERED BY THESE IMMIGRANTS.

THE UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT SAID NO, YOU ACTUALLY DON'T.

>> JUSTICE NEIL GORSUCH WROTE THAT INSTEAD OF PRESUMING AN ASYLUM-SEEKERS ACCOUNT TO BE FACTS, COURTS SHOULD REVIEW FACTFINDERS WORK, AND PRESUME CREDIBILITY ONLY IF THERE IS NO, QUOTE, EXPLICIT ADVERSE CREDIBILITY DETERMINATION.

LAST WEEK, THE SUPREME COURT UNANIMOUSLY OVERTURNED TWO OF HER NINTH CIRCUIT RULINGS.

>>> TWO MONTHS AGO, THE SAN DIEGO REGION RECEIVED OVER $200 MILLION IN STATE AND FEDERAL FUNDING TO HELP LOW INCOME FAMILIES PAY THEIR RENT AND UTILITIES DURING THE PANDEMIC.

BUT AS I NEWS SOURCE INVESTIGATIVE REPORTER CODY DELANEY EXPLAINS, ONLY 2% OF THE MONEY HAD BEEN SPENT AS OF MID-MAY.

>> Reporter: LOCAL GOVERNMENTS IN THE SAN DIEGO REGION ARE RUNNING INTO THE SAME PROBLEMS THEY ENCOUNTERED DURING RENT RELIEF EFFORTS LAST YEAR.

THE APPLICATION PROCESS IS SLOW, AND SOME LANDLORDS STILL WANT TO TAKE THE MONEY.

FOR RENTER JANEL PAUL, WHO LOST INCOME LAST YEAR, SHE IS $14,000 BEHIND IN RENT FOR HER CITY HEIGHTS APARTMENT.

SHE GOT APPROVED FOR RENT RELIEF, BUT IT TOOK MORE THAN 2 MONTHS.

DURING THE WAIT, HER TYPE II DIABETES WORSENED.

>> IT'S JUST MY YOU KNOW, I WENT THROUGH THIS, AND I THINK IT IS THE STRESS OF EVERYTHING, IT JUST SHOWS THAT IN YOUR BODY, IN WAYS YOU DON'T THINK IT IS GOING TO.

>> Reporter: THE RENT RELIEF WIPES OUT MOST OF HER DEBT, BUT SHE IS STILL ON THE HOOK FOR $4000, AND SHE DOES NOT KNOW WHEN SHE WILL BE ABLE TO PAY RENT ON HER OWN AGAIN.

>> WE SHUT DOWN OVERNIGHT, BUT WERE NOT GOING TO MAKE MONEY OVERNIGHT, YOU KNOW?

IT IS IMPOSSIBLE.

IT WILL TAKE 6 MONTHS TO 1 YEAR MY MINIMUM, TO GET BACK AT LEAST, I'M GOING TO SAY, 60% WHERE WE WERE BEFORE COVID SHUT DOWN.

>> Reporter: THAT YOU HAVE SOME LANDLORDS REFUSING THE AIDE.

WHEN THAT HAPPENS, STATE LAW SAYS TENANTS GET A QUARTER OF WHAT THEY OWE, AND ARE PROTECTED FROM ADDICTION, BUT LANDLORDS CAN'T GET ANY RENT RELIEF IF THEIR TENANTS WANT PARTICIPATE.

LUCINDA LILLY WITH THE SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA RENTAL HOUSING ASSOCIATION SAYS THAT IS NOT FAIR.

>> RIGHT NOW IF A MENTOR SAYS I'M NOT WILLING TO PARTICIPATE, WE ARE JUST LEFT HOLDING THE BAG.

>> Reporter: TO HELP TENANTS AND LANDLORDS, GOVERNOR GAVIN NEWSOM HAS PROPOSED CHANGES TO IMPROVE THE PROGRAM.

>> Reporter: WILL MANY AMERICANS ARE REMOVING THEIR MASK AND RETURNING TO SOME TYPE OF NORMALCY, HEALTH EXPERTS ARE WARNING PEOPLE NOT TO LET THEIR GUARD DOWN, AND TO GET VACCINATED.

>> WE STILL ARE AT RISK OF VARIANTS.

THE MORE VACCINATED WE ARE, THE MORE PROTECTED WE ARE.

>> Reporter: THE CDC SAYS MORE THAN HALF OF THE U.S. POPULATION HAS NOW BEEN AT LEAST PARTIALLY VACCINATED.

MODERNA ANNOUNCED TUESDAY IT IS APPLYING FOR FULL FDA APPROVAL FOR ITS COVID-19 VACCINE IN PEOPLE AGES 18 AND UP.

>>> THE RECALL CAMPAIGN TARGETING SAN DIEGO CITY COUNCIL PRESIDENT JEN CAMPBELL HAS FAILED.

BACKERS OF THE RECALL CAMPAIGN SAY THEY GATHERED MORE THAN 10,000 SIGNATURES TO READ ABOUT 4000 SHORT OF WHAT THEY ACTUALLY NEEDED TO FORCE A SPECIAL ELECTION.

CRITICS ATTACKED CAMPBELL FOR PASSING REGULATIONS THAT LEGALIZED SHORT-TERM HOME RENTALS.

SHE IS UP FOR REELECTION NEXT YEAR.

>>> STATE LAWMAKERS ARE CONSIDERING A PLAN TO CUT THEIR SHARE OF OUT-OF-STATE AND INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS ADMITTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA SYSTEM.

THE GOAL IS TO MAKE ROOM FOR MORE CALIFORNIANS.

IT COMES IN A RECORD-BREAKING YEAR FOR THE UC, WITH MORE THAN 200,000 APPLICANTS VYING FOR 46,000 FRESHMAN SPOTS.

>> Reporter: THE STATE SENATE HAS UNVEILED A PROPOSAL TO REDUCE THE PROPORTION OF NONRESIDENT INCOMING FRESHMAN TO 10% FROM THE CURRENT SYSTEMWIDE AVERAGE OF 19%.

THEY WOULD COME OVER THE NEXT DECADE, BEGINNING IN 2022.

AN ASSISTANT PROFESSOR AT UC SAN DIEGO SPECIALIZES IN HIGH SKILL IMMIGRATION, INCLUDING INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS.

>> WHAT HAS BEEN HAPPENING IS THAT MORE REVENUE FROM INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS ALLOWS UNIVERSITIES TO EXPAND.

IT CAN ACTUALLY HELP FUND AND CROSS SUBSIDIZE MORE LOCAL STUDENTS COMING TO THE UNIVERSITIES.

MAKE THE INCREASING UNIVERSITY ACCESS PROBLEM HAS FRUSTRATED THOUSANDS OF CALIFORNIA FAMILIES AFTER THEY HAVE SUPPORTED THE UNIVERSITY SYSTEM WITH THEIR TAXES FOR YEARS.

ESTHER HAS BEEN A COUNSELOR AT ESCONDIDO HIGH SCHOOL FOR 27 YEARS.

SHE SAYS THE COLLEGE ADMISSIONS PROCESS ACROSS CALIFORNIA UNIVERSITIES IS GROWING MORE COMPETITIVE.

>> I FEEL LIKE THEY HAVE A LOT MORE PRESSURE THAN EVEN 15 YEARS AGO AS FAR AS WHAT IS EXPECTED FROM THE COLLEGE.

THEY ARE GETTING AT THE SAME RATE, BUT NOT NECESSARILY THE PLACES THEY WOULD LIKE TO GET IN.

>> Reporter: THE PLAN WOULD REPLACE THE LOST TUITION FROM NONRESIDENTS AND COVER THE CALIFORNIA STUDENTS TO TAKE THEIR SPOT THROUGH STATE FUNDING, BEGINNING WITH 56 MILLION NEXT YEAR, AND GOING TO 775 MILLION BY 2033.

PART OF THE PROPOSED PLAN IS A GOOD IDEA.

>> THE CURRENT PLAN HAS CERTAIN ATTRACTIVE FEATURES, INCLUDING EXPANDING AID TO LOCAL STUDENTS, RIGHT?

THE CURRENT PLAN ALSO HAVE AN UNATTRACTIVE FEATURE, WHICH IS THE PART WHERE IT COMES TO CAPPING INTERNATIONAL STUDENT FLOW.

>> Reporter: UC OFFICIALS SAY THEY SHARE THE ROLE OF ENROLLING AND GRADUATING WERE CALIFORNIA STUDENTS, AND HAVE ADDED 19,000 MORE OF THEM SINCE 2015, BUT THEY OPPOSE THE 10% PLAN.

IN THE MOUNTAINS, TEMPERATURES ARE A LITTLE WARMER AS WELL.

TODAY INTO TOMORROW, WE GET INTO THE UPPER 70s.

AFTER THAT, IS SLOW BUT STEADY DROP BACK DOWN INTO THE UPPER 60s.
