>>> GOOD EVENING.

IT'S TUESDAY, MAY 3rd.

THANKS FOR JOINING US.

I'M MAYA TRABULSI.

THE STUNNING LEAK OF A SUPREME COURT DRAFT OPINION THAT WOULD OVERTURN ROE V WADE HAS LED TO AN OUTPOURING OF EMOTIONAL REACTION.

FROM HERE AT THE FEDERAL COURTHOUSE IN SAN DIEGO RIGHT NOW, WHERE A PROTEST IS GETTING UNDERWAY TO THE STEPS OF THE HIGH COURT IN DC AND CITIES IN BETWEEN, DEMONSTRATIONS AND VOICES ARE BEING RAISED FROM BOTH SIDES OF THE CONTROVERSIAL ABORTION DEBATE.

WE HAVE LOCAL AND NATIONAL COVERAGE AND WE BEGIN WITH REPORTER KAREN.

>> Reporter: PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN DESCRIBING A DRAFT OPINION BY THE SUPREME COURT THAT WOULD OVERTURN ROE V WADE AS RADICAL.

>> EVERY OTHER DECISION AND THE NOTION OF PRIVACY IS THROWN INTO QUESTION.

>> Reporter: THE SUPREME COURT HAS APPROVED THE AUTHENTICITY OF THE DOCUMENT PUBLISHED BY POLITICO MONDAY NIGHT.

A DRAFT OF A MAJORITY OPINION IN THE JACKSON WOMEN'S HEALTH ORGANIZATION.

A CASE REGARDING MISSISSIPPI LAW BANNING MOST ABORTIONS AFTER 15 WEEKS.

THE CASE IS A DIRECT CHALLENGE TO THE PRECEDENT ESTABLISHED IN ROE V WADE IN 1973 IN A PLANNED PARENTHOOD CASE IN 1992.

THE GOVERNMENT CANNOT INTERVIEW WITH AN INDIVIDUAL'S CHOICE TO TERMINATE A PREGNANCY BEFORE VIABILITY OUTSIDE THE WOMB AT ABOUT 23 WEEKS.

A RIGHT PROTECTED UNDER THE 14th AMENDMENT OF THE CONSTITUTION.

THE DRAFT, WRITTEN BY CONSERVATIVE JUSTICE SAMUEL ALITO DESCRIBES THE REASONING AND ROW AS EXCEPTIONALLY WEAK.

ON CAPITOL HILL, SENATE DEMOCRATS WITHOUT ENOUGH VOTES TO CONFINED THE RIGHT OF ABORTION INTO LAW, LAYING BLAME FOR THE POTENTIAL REVERSAL.

BUT WOMEN'S COUNTRY ARE PAYING FOR THE FACT THAT THE REPUBLICANS HAVE BASICALLY SABOTAGED THE SUPREME COURT.

WHILE THE REPUBLICANS RETICLE OF HOW THE DRAFT CAME TO LIGHT.

>> THIS LAW SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED AND PUNISHED.

>> Reporter: JOHN ROBERTS SAID HE HAS ORDERED AN INVESTIGATION.

THE SUPREME COURT SAID TUESDAY, THE DOCUMENT IS NOT A FINAL OPINION.

THE HIGHLY ANTICIPATED OPINION IS EXPECTED TO BE AMONG THE LAST ISSUED THIS TERM AND LATE JUNE OR JULY.

IN WASHINGTON, KAREN, KPBS NEWS.

STROMA WE ALREADY HEARING OF SEVERAL DEMONSTRATIONS SCHEDULED TO TAKE PLACE HERE IN SAN DIEGO IN THE COMING DAYS.

IN FACT, ONE RIGHT TO CHOOSE RALLY IS GETTING UNDERWAY RIGHT NOW AT THE FEDERAL COURTHOUSE DOWNTOWN.

STROMA WE'LL FIND KPBS REPORTER MATT HOFFMAN LIFE WITH MORE ON THAT AND REACTION FROM LOCAL ELECTED OFFICIALS.

MATT.

BUT NOT THIS IS A PRO-CHOICE RALLY THAT'S IN DEFENSE OF ROE V WADE.

AND IN SUPPORT OF WOMEN'S RIGHTS.

AS YOU CAN SEE BEHIND ME, THERE ARE DOZENS OF PEOPLE HERE.

THE CROWD HAS BEEN GOING AND PEOPLE ARE WANTING TO MAKE THEIR VOICES HEARD.

YOU CAN HEAR A MOTORCYCLE REVVING UP IN THE BACKGROUND.

WE ARE HEARING, ASIDE FROM PEOPLE HERE, FROM LOCAL LAWMAKERS ABOUT THIS INCLUDING FROM A STATE REPRESENTATIVE WHO WANTS TO MAKE A CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT TO CALIFORNIA SO CALIFORNIA CAN GUARANTEE A WOMAN'S RIGHT TO CHOOSE.

SUCK OF THE SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES WON'T PROTECT OUR BODILY AUTONOMY, CALIFORNIA WILL MAKE SURE OUR CONSTITUTION LEAVES NO ROOM FOR CONFUSION.

>> Reporter: STATE SENATOR TONY ATKINS OF SAN DIEGO SAYS THE AMENDMENT WOULD REQUIRE A TWO THIRDS VOTE IN THE LEGISLATURE AND A TWO THIRDS VOTE FROM RESIDENCE, IF ROE WAS OVERTURNED, ABORTIONS WERE STILL BE LEGAL IN CALIFORNIA.

BUT ATKINS WANTS TO SOLIDIFY THAT WITH AN AMENDMENT ON THE UPCOMING NOVEMBER BALLOT.

>> IT IS SO UNFORTUNATE THAT THE HIGHEST COURT IN THE LAND FEELS THAT THEY CAN IGNORE THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE.

>> Reporter: SAN DIEGO NORA VARGAS PREVIOUSLY WORKED FOR PLANNED PARENTHOOD.

SHE'S WORRIED ABOUT THOSE WHO COULD LOSE ACCESS OUTSIDE OF CALIFORNIA.

>> WHAT I FELT WAS ANGER, WHAT I FELT WAS FRUSTRATION AND WHAT I FELT WAS SADNESS, AND I FELT THAT BECAUSE THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF WOMEN ACROSS THIS COUNTRY ARE GOING TO BE IMPACTED BY THIS RULING.

WE MUST NOT FORGET THAT ABORTION IS HEALTH CARE.

>> Reporter: THE LEAKED DRAFT IS NOT AN OFFICIAL RULING.

ONE AS EXPECTED AS EARLY AS NEXT MONTH THOUGH.

SO WHAT WE WANT TO MAKE CLEAR TO THE PEOPLE OF SAN DIEGO THAT SAN DIEGO COUNTY IS AND WILL REMAIN, REGARDLESS OF THE SCHOOL, A PLACE WHERE WE RESPECT AND EMBRACE THAT RIGHT TO CHOOSE.

>> Reporter: LOCAL DEMOCRATIC CONGRESSMAN SARAH JACOBS SAYS IS ONE OF THE FEW WOMEN OF REPRODUCTIVE AGE IN CONGRESS, THE NEWS WAS A GUT PUNCH.

>> I KNEW IT WAS SOMETHING THAT WAS POSSIBLE, THAT WAS LIKELY.

BUT SEEING IT IN WRITING, HOW LITTLE SOME OF THE MEMBERS OF THE SUPREME COURT CARE ABOUT MY BODILY AUTONOMY, IT WAS REALLY GUT WRENCHING.

IT WAS A GUT PUNCH.

I'M ANGRY AND I'M FRUSTRATED.

I THINK IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT TO SAY THAT THIS IS ONLY A DRAFT OPINION.

SO WE SHOULD BE ANGRY.

WE SHOULD MAKE OUR VOICES HEARD, BUT IT IS NOT CURRENTLY THE LAW OF THE LAND.

THE CURRENT LAW OF THE LAND IS THAT ABORTION IS STILL LEGAL.

>> Reporter: LOCAL REPUBLIC AND CONGRESSMAN DARRELL CRITICIZED THE LEAK.

HE SAYS HE STANDS FOR LIFE AND DEFENDING THE UNBORN, BUT PERSONAL VIEWS ASIDE, HE SAID ALL AMERICANS SHARE AN EQUAL STATE AND THE INTEGRITY OF THE SUPREME COURT.

>> HEARING THIS RALLY IS STILL GROWING IN SIZE, IN THAT STORY, YOU HEARD FROM TWO OF THE DEMOCRATIC SUPERVISORS.

WE REACHED OUT TO A NUMBER OF LOCAL REPUBLICANS INCLUDING JASMINE DESMOND, JOE ANDERSON, ALONG WITH SENATOR DRYE AND BRIAN JONES AND ASSEMBLY MEMBERS RANDY AND MARIE WALDRON.

THEY ALL SAID THEY WERE UNAVAILABLE TO COMMENT OR DID NOT RESPOND BACK AS WE BRING YOU BACK OUT HERE.

THIS IS A PRO-CHOICE RALLY THAT'S IN DEFENSE OF ROE V WADE.

GOT STARTED A FEW MINUTES AGO.

THE CROWD IS GROWING LIFE IN DOWNTOWN.

MATT HOFFMAN, KPBS NEWS.

>>> THANKS FOR THAT REPORT, MATT.

THE POSSIBILITY OF ROE V WADE BEING OVERTURNED AS YET ANOTHER LESSON FOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS WHO CONTINUE TO EXPERIENCE HISTORY MAKING CHANGES IN REAL TIME.

KPBS EDUCATOR REPORTER MG PEREZ HAS MORE ON THEIR PERSPECTIVE.

>> I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG.

>> Reporter: PATRIOTISM IS FOUND ON SCHOOL CAMPUSES EVERY DAY.

HERE AT SAN DIEGO HIGH SCHOOL, MORE THAN 2500 STUDENTS FROM ACROSS THE COUNTY ATTEND CLASSES.

AWARE OF THE WORLD AROUND THEM AND THEN USE THAT COULD IMPACT THEIR LIVES FOR VERY LONG TIME.

SO TO THINK THAT WE WILL RESTRICT A WOMAN'S RIGHT TO CHOOSE IS JUST DISGUSTING.

AND IMMORAL.

REVEREND ZACHARY PATTERSON IS THE SAN DIEGO UNIFIED STUDENTS SCHOOL BOARD MEMBER.

HE REPRESENTS THE YOUNG VOICES OF STUDENTS THROUGHOUT THE DISTRICT.

>> NOBODY OUT THERE IS SAYING NO ABORTIONS.

THAT'S NOT THE CONVERSATION THAT'S HAPPENING.

WE RECOGNIZE THAT PEOPLE NEED TO HAVE THESE OPTIONS AND ESPECIALLY WHEN WE TALK ABOUT YOUNG PEOPLE.

WE TALK ABOUT STUDENTS IN OUR SCHOOL DISTRICT.

>> Reporter: STUDENTS HAVE PLENTY TO SAY ABOUT THE POTENTIAL LOSS OF CONSTITUTIONAL FREEDOM.

>> I'M WORRIED THAT THEY WILL MAKE ABORTION ILLEGAL AND THAT WILL LEAD TO SOME UNSAFE PRACTICES AND JUST LEAD TO OVERALL WOMEN NOT HAVING THE CHOICES OVER THEIR BODIES.

>> I FEEL LIKE WOMEN SHOULD HAVE THE CHOICE TO DO WHAT THEY WANT WITH THEIR BODY.

>> I DON'T THINK THAT PEOPLE WHO DO NOT HAVE A UTERUS SHOULD MAKE AN OVERARCHING DECISION THAT IS SO IMPACTFUL, AS IT'S REALLY NOT GOING TO SOLVE ABORTIONS.

IT'S JUST GOING TO STOP SAFE ABORTIONS.

>> Reporter: NO MATTER WHAT DOES OR DOES NOT HAPPEN WITH ROE V WADE AND THE SUPREME COURT, THIS GENERATION HAS ALREADY SURVIVED HISTORIC CHANGES.

IS NO SURPRISE THAT MANY OF THEM ARE ALREADY WORKING ON SOLUTIONS.

>> I'M GOING TO WORK MY HARDEST TO TRY TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE AND VOTE IN THE NEXT COMING ELECTIONS, AND TRY TO MAKE SURE MY VOICE IS HEARD.

>> Reporter: PATRIOTISM IS FOUND ON SCHOOL CAMPUSES EVERY DAY.

MG PEREZ, KPBS NEWS.

>>> THE VICE PRESIDENT OF SAN DIEGO UNIFIED BOARD OF EDUCATION SAYS SHE'S PLANS TO BRING FORWARD A RESOLUTION NEXT WEEK TO LET STUDENTS KNOW THEY WILL CONTINUE TO HAVE ACCESS TO ALL OF THEIR REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS, NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS IN WASHINGTON.

>>> IF YOU WEREN'T AWARE, RUSSIA HAS NEVER FORMALLY DECLARED WAR AGAINST UKRAINE, BUT THAT COULD SOON CHANGE.

REPORTER GLORIA WITH A LOOK AT THAT AND THE HORRIFIC SCENES COMING OUT OF UKRAINE.

>> Reporter: REUNITED AT LAST.

EVACUEES FROM MARIUPOL'S EMBATTLED PLANT ARRIVED BY THE BUSLOADS TUESDAY.

AS PART OF AN ONGOING EFFORT TO RESCUE THOUSANDS OF UKRAINIAN CIVILIANS FROM THE BESIEGED CITY OF MARIUPOL.

WHILE SOME ARRIVE TO SAFETY, TENSIONS REMAIN HIGH BACK AT THE STEEL PLANT WHERE HUNDREDS OF CIVILIANS AND SOLDIERS REMAIN.

A COMMANDER FOR UKRAINIAN SOLDIERS SAID HEAVY SHELLING CONTINUES AT THE COMPLEX.

TRANS-MAC WE GET THEM OUT WITH ROPES.

IS THE ELDERLY, WOMEN AND CHILDREN.

>> Reporter: MEANWHILE, U.S. AND RUSSIAN OFFICIALS BELIEVE THE RUSSIAN PRESIDENT VLADIMIR PUTIN IS ONE STEP CLOSER TO FORMALLY DECLARING WAR ON UKRAINE, AS SOON AS MAY 9th.

KNOWN AS RUSSIA'S VICTORY DAY.

COMMEMORATING THE RUSSIAN DEFEAT OF THE IN 1945.

>> WE HAVE SEEN THE RUSSIANS REALLY DOUBLE DOWN ON THEIR PROPAGANDA EFFORTS.

PROBABLY, I WAS CERTAINLY AS A MEANS TO DISTRACT FROM THEIR TACTICAL AND STRATEGIC FAILURES ON THE BATTLEFIELD IN UKRAINE.

>> Reporter: AN OFFICIAL DECLARATION OF WAR WOULD ALLOW PUTIN TO FULLY MOBILIZE RUSSIA'S RESERVE FORCES AS EFFORTS TO TAKE TERRITORY IN THE EAST AND SOUTH CONTINUE TO FALTER AND MANPOWER DWINDLES.

>> THEY HAVE NOT ACHIEVED ANY OF THE STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES THAT MR. COULDN'T SET OUT FOR AND THE UKRAINIANS ARE FIGHTING BACK STIFFLY, BRAVELY, NIMBLY, SKILLFULLY.

>> Reporter: GLORIA, KPBS NEWS.

>>> THE U.S. IS PUTTING A POWERFUL WEAPON IN THE HANDS OF THE UKRAINIANS FIGHTING AGAINST RUSSIA'S INVASION.

THE PENTAGON ANNOUNCED IT'S SENDING SECRETIVE ATTACK DRONE WHICH WAS DEVELOPED BY SAN DIEGO-BASED COMPANY AB SOLANA BEACH.

IT'S CALLED THE PHOENIX GHOST AND IT IS MADE BY AEROSPACE.

IT IS SO SECRETIVE THAT THERE ARE NO OFFICIAL IMAGES OF THE DEVICE WHICH THE PENTAGON SAYS WORKS MUCH LIKE SWITCHBLADE DRONES WHICH WERE ALSO SENT TO UKRAINE.

THE CEO OF APEX AEROSPACE IS THEY CANNOT DISCUSS THE SPECIFICS OF THE GHOST DRONE IN MUCH DETAIL.

>> WE PRIMARILY FOCUS ON SPECIAL CUSTOMERS WHO NEED THINGS VERY QUICKLY.

AND THAT HAVE VERY SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS.

AND I GUESS THE CURRENT SITUATIONS IN UKRAINE IS SORT OF AN EXAMPLE OF THAT KIND OF AN ACTIVITY.

/THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION'S IS A PLUS TO SEND 121 OF THE PHOENIX GHOST DRONES TO UKRAINE.

>>> A LANDSLIDE ON THE BLUFF OF BEACON'S BEACH IN ENCINITAS HAS FORCED THE CLOSURE OF THE TRAIL THERE, AS KPBS KITTY ALVARADO REPORTS, THAT STRETCH OF BEACH IS A WELL-KNOWN TROUBLE SPOT.

>> Reporter: THE CARVED OUT EARTH AND STEPS DOWN TO YOU BEACON'S BEACH HAVE BEEN DAMAGED.

MANY OF THEM FLATTENED.

CITY ENGINEERS SAY THAT WAS CAUSED BY A LANDSLIDE.

THE PARKING LOT AND TRAIL WILL BE CLOSED FOR AT LEAST 30 DAYS UNTIL ENGINEERS CAN THE STABILITY OF THE BLUFF.

SPENT THE BEST ANALOGY IS I THINK EVERYONE IS FAMILIAR WITH PLAYING JENGA.

SOONER OR LATER, THE WHOLE THING IS GOING TO COME DOWN.

>> Reporter: MITCHELL SILVERSTEIN WITH THE SURFRIDER FOUNDATION SAYS THE COLLAPSE THAT HAPPENED ON SUNDAY NIGHT OR MONDAY MORNING DID NOT COME AS A SURPRISE.

>> THIS COLLAPSE OCCURRED BASICALLY PRECISELY WHERE THE CITY OF ENCINITAS'S' GEOTECHNICAL REPORT REPORTED IT WOULD OCCUR BECAUSE IT'S NO SECRET THAT THE ENTIRE ACCESS TRAIL SITS ON AN ACTIVE LANDSLIDE.

>> Reporter: HE SAYS THE TRAIL HAS BEEN AT THE CENTER OF DEBATE.

THEIR PROPOSAL TO RELOCATE THE PARKING LOT AND THE STAIRCASE WAS REJECTED BECAUSE OF STRONG LOCAL OPPOSITION.

'S BUT WE ARE NOT OF HERE TRYING TO SAY WE LIKE STAIRCASES BETTER THAN SWITCHBACK TRAILS.

WHAT WE WANT IS TO MAINTAIN SAFE ACCESS FOR THE PUBLIC TO A REALLY GREAT BEACH FOR AS LONG AS POSSIBLE, FOR AS MANY PEOPLE AS POSSIBLE.

RIGHT NOW, THE STAIRCASE ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE BLUFF WHICH IS THE MOST STABLE AREA IS THE BEST WAY TO DO THAT.

>> Reporter: WHILE NO ONE WAS INJURED IN THIS EVENT, JUST NORTH OF HERE IN 2019, THREE WOMEN WERE KILLED IN A BLUFF COLLAPSE AT GRANDVIEW BEACH.

NOW PEOPLE HAVE TO GO TO GRANDVIEW TO GAIN ACCESS TO BEACON'S.

LOCAL NIKKI HARTH OWNS THE SERVE HOUSE HOTEL THAT'S JUST A BLOCK AWAY.

HE SAYS HE'S SAD TO SEE THE CLOSURE, PLUS THAT ACCESS IS A BIG SELLING POINT FOR GUESTS.

SPENT NOT BEING ABLE TO SHARE THAT WITH OUR GUESTS AND THE LOCAL COMMUNITY AROUND IT IS GOING TO BE PRETTY GUT WRENCHING.

>> Reporter: HARTH SAYS AXIS IS BETTER THAN NO AXIS./EVERYONE WILL HAVE THEIR DIFFERENCES BUT WE NEED TO WORK AS A COMMUNITY TO REALLY FIND A WAY TO GET THIS DONE AND HOPEFULLY AS QUICK AS POSSIBLE.

>> Reporter: SILVERSTEIN SAYS THIS IS A NATURAL OCCURRING PROCESS THAT CAN BE MITIGATED BUT ULTIMATELY CAN'T BE STOPPED.

BUT WE CAN SAVE THE BLUFF FOREVER BECAUSE REALLY, IF YOU THINK 50 TO 100 YEARS OR EVEN FURTHER INTO THE FUTURE, WHERE THAT BLUFF SITS TODAY IS WHERE THE BEACH WILL BE.

>> Reporter: KITTY ALVARADO, KPBS NEWS.

>> Reporter: >>> THE COMPLETE RENOVATION OF SAN DIEGO HIGH SCHOOL IS UNDERWAY.

STUDENTS JOINED SCHOOL ADMINISTRATORS AND CITY OFFICIALS WITH GOLDEN SHOVELS TO TURN OVER SOME DIRT IN FRONT OF THE 140-YEAR-OLD CAMPUS.

SAN DIEGO UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT HAS A NEW 99 YEAR LEASE WITH THE CITY OF SAN DIEGO, ALLOWING FOR THE TOTAL MODERNIZATION OF THE HISTORIC CAMPUS.

THE PROJECT TOOK MORE THAN SIX YEARS OF PLANNING AND VOTER APPROVED SCHOOL BONDS TO PAY FOR THE IMPROVEMENTS.

>> SCHOOL DISTRICT EMPLOYEES.

IT WAS QUITE A SHOW OF SUPPORT FOR THE SCHOOL AND QUITE A DISPLAY OF HOW MUCH THIS SCHOOL MEANS TO THE COMMUNITY.

>> RENOVATIONS WILL INCLUDE THE CONSTRUCTION OF A CENTRAL CAMPUS AND STATE-OF-THE-ART CLASSROOMS, AND A NEW COLLEGE BUILDING.

IT'S EXPECTED TO BE COMPLETED IN THE SPRING OF 2025.

>>> LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT'S GOING ON OUT THERE.

ACROSS THE SAN DIEGO METRO.

WE HAVE HAD A COOL STREAK.

WE WILL EXPLAIN THAT IN A FEW SECONDS.

WE WILL HAVE A WARM-UP IN THE MID WEEK, BUT THEN A COOLER WEEKEND.

A LITTLE BIT OF A SEESAW IN THE SHORT RANGE.

WE WOULD LOVE TO SEE SOME MORE SIGNIFICANT PARTICIPATION BUT BEGINNING TO GET TO THE TIME OF THE YEAR WHERE IT BECOMES INCREASINGLY DIFFICULT AND RARE TO FIND A PATTERN THAT PRESENTS US WITH MUCH RAIN.

WE GET DEEPER INTO THE SPRING, DRY SEASON IS UPON US.

WE HAD FIVE COOLER MONTHS IN A ROE HERE IN SAN DIEGO.

TAKE A LOOK AT THIS DECEMBER, WE RAN ABOUT TWO DEGREES BELOW AVERAGE.

INTO JANUARY, WE WERE ABOUT A DEGREE AND A HALF BELOW THE NORM.

ALSO ABOUT A JURY DEGREE AND A HALF AND MAYBE MORE THAN A DEGREE IN FACT.

AND INTO APRIL, WE RAN A FRACTION OF A DEGREE COOLER THAN AVERAGE.

IT'S BEEN QUITE THE STREAK HERE AND PRETTY COMFORTABLE IN THE BIG PICTURE.

WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE SOME MORE RAIN.

THE MARINE LAYER COMES BACK IN OVERNIGHT TONIGHT.

EL CAJON, WE DROP TO 50.

SAN DIEGO AROUND 59.

IT WILL BE WARM AND DRY STRETCH FOR WEDNESDAY.

MARINE LAYER CLOUDS WILL BEGIN TO GIVE WAY TO A GREATER AFTERNOON.

THE AFTERNOON HOURS, WE JUMP UP TO 96 SOME OF THESE IN LAND DESERT LOCATIONS WILL BE FLIRTING WITH THE CENTURY MARK AS WE GET DEEPER INTO THE WEEK.

BUT SAN DIEGO, 70.

EL CAJON, AROUND 84 DEGREES AS WE LOOK AT THE DETAILS, THE FIVE-DAY FORECAST ON THE COAST, IT WILL WARM UP INTO FRIDAY AND A SLIGHT COOLDOWN.

A FIVE DEGREE DROP FROM FRIDAY TO SUNDAY.

AND LINED AREAS WILL WARM UP TO 86 AND DROP BACK DOWN TO ABOUT 74.

THAT'S A DRAMATIC DIFFERENCE.

THE MOUNTAINS ALMOST 270 AND BACK INTO THE LOW 60s.

GREASY.

THOSE WINS ARE A PROBLEM TO OUR EAST AND THE FOUR CORNERS REGIONS WHERE THEY HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH WILDFIRES.

IN THE DESERT IT'S 100 ON THURSDAY.

104 FRIDAY.

IT'S THAT TIME OF THE YEAR.

BACK DOWN TO 92.

DECISIVELY COOLER ON MOTHER'S DAY.

I'M METEOROLOGIST GEOFF CORNISH FOR KPBS NEWS.

>>> MORE INFORMATION POINTING TO THE INFORMATION THAT GETTING A YEARLY COVID-19 BOOSTER COULD BECOME AS ROUTINE AS GETTING A FLU SHOT.

FDA OFFICIALS SAY THE U.S. MIGHT NEED TO UPDATE ITS COVERT VACCINES EVERY YEAR.

A REPORT PUBLISHED IN THE JOURNAL, THE OFFICIALS SAY THE WIDESPREAD GLOBAL PRESENCE OF THE VIRUS THAT CAUSES COVID-19 IS THE NEW NORMAL.

THE RESEARCHERS ARE ALSO GETTING A NEW UPDATED CODE WOULD BOLSTER EVERY FALL COULD SAVE LIVES AND HELP MINIMIZE SOCIETAL DISRUPTIONS.

>>> RESEARCHERS AT UC SAN DIEGO HAVE IDENTIFIED A GENE MARKER FOR ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE.

KPBS SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY REPORTER THOMAS SAYS THIS MEANS WE CAN BETTER PREDICT ALZHEIMER'S AND MAYBE FIND THE PATH TO AT YOUR.

>> Reporter: THE STUDY LOOKS BACK ON 15 YEARS OF BLOOD TESTING AND OBSERVATION OF HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE OVER 65.

RESEARCHERS SAY THE RESULT IS AN UNDENIABLE CONNECTION BETWEEN AN OVERACTIVE GENE AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE.

UCSD BIOENGINEERING PROFESSOR SHENG ZHONG SAYS THEIR FINDINGS WERE A SURPRISE.

THAT'S BECAUSE THE GENE AND SERINE, THE NUTRIENT IT PRODUCES PLAY AN IMPORTANT PART IN BRAIN DEVELOPMENT.

>> IT'S LIKE AND OVERSHOOT OF THE GOOD GUY, OF THE GOOD STUFF THAT SEEMS TO MARK, UNFORTUNATE DISEASE OUTCOME.

>> Reporter: THE STUDY TRACKED THE DEVELOPMENT OF ALZHEIMER'S OVERTIME IN PEOPLE WHO ARE SYMPTOMATIC AND ASYMPTOMATIC.

THE EXPRESSION OF THE OVERACTIVE GENE THAT GOES BY THE ACRONYM PHGDH SHOWS UP IT'S THE START START SHAPED CELLS.

A STRONG CONTRAST TO THE SAME CELLS IN A HEALTHY BRAIN.

SO FAR, ZHONG SAYS THEY HAVE PROVEN A CORRELATION BETWEEN THE ACTIVE GENE THAT PRODUCES SERINE AND ALZHEIMER'S, AND WHILE THEY HAVEN'T PROVEN CAUSE AND EFFECT, THEY THINK THAT'S WHAT'S HAPPENING.

>> OUR HYPOTHESIS IS THAT A PRONOUNCED OVERSUPPLY OF SERINE MAKES NEURONS TOO ACTIVE FOR TOO LONG A TIME.

THUS BECOMES TOXIC.

>> Reporter: WHICH CAN LEAD TO THE CONDITIONS WHICH LEAD TO ALZHEIMER'S.

THERE'S NO CURE FOR ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE AND THAT UCSD RESEARCHERS HAVE NOT DISCOVERED ONE, BUT ZHONG SAYS THERE ARE ONGOING GOING EXPERIMENTS ON MICE AND ON BRAIN SAMPLES THAT COULD LEAD TO A WAY TO TONE DOWN THE OVERACTIVE GENE AND THE OVERPRODUCTION OF SAVING.

>> TO EITHER AMELIORATE THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE DISEASE OR EVEN REVERSE THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE DISEASE, THOSE ARE THE TESTS WE ARE CURRENTLY DOING.

>> Reporter: IRONICALLY, SOME BUSINESSES SELL SERINE AS A DIETARY SUPPLEMENT TO INCREASE BRAIN FUNCTION.

BASED ON WHAT HE'S LEARNED, ZHONG SAYS FOR THOSE WHO MAY SEVER ALZHEIMER'S, THOSE SUPPLEMENTS MAY BE JUST WHAT THEY DON'T NEED.

THOMAS FUDGE, KPBS NEWS.

>> Reporter: JENNY SMITH IS A SUPERVISOR IN SEAWORLD'S ANIMAL RESCUE DEPARTMENT.

SHE'S BEEN DOING THIS YEAR FOR 22 YEARS.

>> WE ARE LIKE THE AMBULANCE.

WE ANSWER THE PHONE CALL, WE RESPOND AND WE ARE THE ONES WHO INTAKE AND TAKE CARE OF THE ANIMALS.

>> Reporter: IT'S A MULTISTEP PROCESS.

INJURIES LIKE SHARK BITES SUFFERED BY THIS CALIFORNIA SEA LION ARE TREATED, AND PINNIPEDS LIKE THIS SEA LION ARE OFTEN DEHYDRATED AND MALNOURISHED.

>> WE HAVE HAD TWO WHO HAVE TAKEN REHABILITATIONS FLOOR.

SHE SAID SHE'S NOT READY FOR FISH SO WE HAD TO GIVE HER BACK TO GIVING FORMULA.

IT'S LIKE A FISH MILKSHAKE.

>> Reporter: RESCUING PINNIPEDS AND MARINE MAMMALS DOESN'T COME AS A SURPRISE TO YOU.

AFTER ALL, SEAWORLD HAS BEEN DOING THAT SINCE THE PARK OPENED IN 1965.

BUT WHAT YOU MAY NOT KNOW IS THAT FOR ALL THAT TIME, SEAWORLD HAS ALSO BEEN RESCUING SEA AND SHORE HERDS.

>> MY AREA OF EXPERTISE IS BIRDS.

>> Reporter: KIM PETERSON HAS WORKED RESCUING AND REHABILITATING ANIMALS AT SEAWORLD SINCE 1999.

A BIG PART OF THE BIRD RESCUE MISSION IS REHABBING BIRDS WHO HAVE BEEN COATED WITH OIL.

BUT BERG CALLED WANTED TO CHANGE THE GENDER OF THE MAIN CHARACTER TO A GIRL.

>> I WANTED TO MAKE THIS A STORY ABOUT THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN MOTHER AND DAUGHTER, AND THIS THEME OF GROWING UP AND HATCHING.

SO IT WAS ALL THOSE THINGS REALLY CAME UP FROM THIS ONE SENTENCE.

BASICALLY FROM THE EGG KIND OF.

>> Reporter: HATCHING US WAS THE THEME OF MOTHERHOOD WITH A FRESH EYE AS A YOUNG GIRL FINDS A MYSTERIOUS EGG AND THEN HATCHES A DEFORMED BIRDLIKE CREATURE THAT PROVES DIFFICULT TO CONTROL.

>> I REALLY WANTED TO BE TOTALLY DEFORMED BECAUSE THIS CREATURE IS TOTALLY DIFFERENT THAN WHAT THE MOTHER WANTS HER DAUGHTER TO BE.

THE MOTHER REALLY WANTS HER DAUGHTER TO BE THIS PERFECT GYMNAST WITH PERFECT CONTROL AND BODY AND THIS CREATURE IS DISGUSTING IN EVERY WAY.

I WAS DESCRIBING THAT IT'S KIND OF LIKE A SMELLY TEENAGER THAT'S ENRAGED TO ITS PARENTS AND ALSO WANTS TO BE LOVED AS IT IS.

AND ALSO THAT IT'S NOT AN EVIL CHARACTER.

IT'S NOT ALL BAD.

>> Reporter: THICKLY CREATURE REPRESENTS A VISUAL BEAUTY IN WHICH NOTHING IS OUT OF PLACE IN A HOME DESIGNED AS A SHOW SOCIAL MEDIA BACKDROP FOR THE MOTHER.

>> I WANTED THIS FILM TO BE NOT A TYPICAL HORROR FILM IN THE SENSE THAT IT HAPPENED IN DARKNESS.

BECAUSE I WANTED TO TELL THIS STORY AS THE MOTHER BECAUSE THE MOTHER IS REALLY CONTROLLING EVERYTHING AND THE MOTHER IS SHOWING HER FAMILY AND HER INSTAGRAM AND TELLING HOW HAPPY THEY ARE.

SO I REALLY WANTED TO USE ONLY LIGHT PASTEL COLORS BECAUSE THE MOTHER DOESN'T WANT ANY STRONG EMOTIONS IN THE FAMILY.

EVERYTHING IS SO WELL IN PLACE AND SO ORGANIZED THAT IT KIND OF STARTS TO LOOK A BIT DEAD.

THAT'S WHERE I WAS ABLE TO GET.
