AND BY VIEWERS LIKE YOU, THANK YOU.

>> NEW PRESSURE TONIGHT TO FIX THE CROSS-BORDER SEWAGE PROBLEM A LAWSUIT WAS FILED TODAY AGAINST THE OPERATOR PLANT AND KPBS IS LIVE IN IMPERIAL BEACH WITH DETAILS ON THIS NEW LITIGATION, JOHN?

>> THE LAWSUIT WAS FILED TODAY AGAINST THE OPERATOR OF THE PLANT TO FORCE THEM TO FIX THE ISSUES.

IT IS SOMETHING I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF BEFORE THE RESIDENCE OF IMPERIAL BEACH ARE BANDING TOGETHER TO FORCE THEM TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THE SEWAGE THAT THEY SAY THEY'VE BEEN DUMPING INTO THE OCEAN.

ONE OF THE RESIDENCE IS A LONGTIME ADVOCATE ON THIS ISSUE >> I JUST FEEL I HAVE BEEN ASSAULTED AND CRIMINALLY TRESPASSED ON WHEN I CANNOT TAKE MY GRANDSON TO THE BEACH.

IT SOMEONE OR A COMPANY IS CAUSING A NOON SINCE IT PREVENTS A PERSON FROM NORMAL ENJOYMENT OF THEIR PROPERTY, THEY CAN BE SUED.

HE SAYS OVER THE LAST FIVE YEARS THERE HAVE BEEN AT LEAST FIVE ISSUES AMOUNTING TO ABOUT 1 BILLION GALLONS.

>> WE BELIEVE THIS ONGOING ENVIRONMENTAL CATASTROPHE COULD HAVE AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN PREVENTED IF THEY HAD JUST SIMPLY DONE THEIR JOB.

IF ANY OF US HAD DONE OUR JOBS AS POORLY AS THEY HAVE, WE WOULD ALL BE FILED -- FIRED.

>> SHE'S GOING TO BRING THIS ISSUE TO EXPLORE A PUBLIC LAWSUIT AGAINST THE COMPANY.

WE DID REACH OUT TO VEOLIA WATER NORTH AMERICA TODAY THIS WAS A VERY LATE NEWS CONFERENCE OUT HERE AND THEY WERE NOT ABLE OR THEY DIDN'T RESPOND TO US TODAY BY OUR DEADLINE.

LIVE ALONG THE BEACH IN IMPERIAL BEACH, KPBS NEWS.

>> TONIGHT, WE ARE DROPPING DOWN TO LOWE'S IN THE 60s, WE ARE STILL DEALING WITH SOME OF THE CLOUD COVER AND REALLY IT'S GOING TO BE THE NAME OF THE GAME HERE OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS ESPECIALLY EARLY AND LATE IN THE DAY.

A FEW AREAS, YOU'RE GOING TO BE ON A COOLING TREND WILL TELL YOU HOW LOW TEMPERATURES GET HEADING INTO THE WEEKEND AND A FEW AREAS THAT WILL MISS OUT ON THE BIG TEMPERATURE SWING.

>> THOUSANDS OF SAILORS ARE BACK IN SAN DIEGO TODAY AFTER AN EXTENDED DEPLOYMENT IN THE MIDDLE EAST, PEER SIDE FOR THE HOMECOMING.

>> IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE SEVEN MONTHS IN THE WESTERN PACIFIC.

REAL-WORLD EVENTS INTERVENED AND FOR THE FIRST TIME IN A LONG TIME A SAN DIEGO-BASED CHARACTER -- CARRIER WAS SHIPPED TO THE MIDDLE EAST.

>> THE COMMANDER OF THE CARRIER STRIKE GROUP SAYS THE EXTENDED DEPLOYMENT DEMONSTRATED THE VALUE OF CHARACTERS.

>> IT SHOWS THE INHERENT FLEXIBILITY THAT NO MATTER WHERE THE CRISIS IS WHERE THE CONTINGENCY, WHERE THE OPERATION IS WE CAN QUICKLY RESPOND ANYWHERE AROUND THE WORLD >> ALEXANDER ADMITS THE TIME AWAY TOOK ITS TOLL ON SAILORS.

>> WE WERE SUPPOSED TO BE BACK AT THE BEGINNING OF AUGUST AND THEN BECAUSE OF WORLD EVENTS, WE LEFT THE WESTERN THE PACIFIC AND MOVED OVER TO THE MIDDLE EAST WHERE WE WERE EXTENDED A TOTAL NUMBER OF FOUR DIFFERENT TIMES.

>> HE SAYS THEY ARE JUST HAPPY TO BE HOME.

>> IT IS GREAT TO BE BACK HOME HERE IN SAN DIEGO, THIS IS HOME WE ARE VERY EXCITED TO BE BACK, VERY TIRED, BUT EXCITED.

>> RETURNING TO SAN DIEGO TODAY, THIS ALSO DEPLOYED IN JANUARY WITH THE STRIKE GROUP.

THE NAVY OFFICIALS SAY THE CREW CAN EXPECT SOME TIME AT HOME, NEXT UP TO DEPLOY FROM SAN DIEGO WILL BE LEAVING BY THE END OF THE YEAR.

>> IT IS NO SECRET THAT CALIFORNIANS PAY THE MOST AT THE PUMP NATIONWIDE.

A NEW BILL AIMS TO STOP PRICES FROM JUMPING EVEN HIGHER.

THE AVERAGE PRICE IS $4.69 TODAY.

THE NATION AVERAGE IS JUST $3.20.

THE NEW LAW DOESN'T MEAN THAT PRICES WILL DROP BUT IT WILL REQUIRE THEM TO MAINTAIN A MINIMUM INVENTORY OF FUEL TO KEEP PRICES FROM SPIKING.

>> BIG OIL THAT KNOWINGLY CONTINUES TO LIE TO THE PEOPLE OF THIS STATE, THEY CONTINUE TO LIE AND THEY CONTINUE TO MANIPULATE.

>> THERE HAVE BEEN PROMISES MADE HERE THAT ARE NOT GOING TO BE KEPT.

MARK MY WORDS, YOU CAN COME BACK AND SHOW THIS CLIP, GAS PRICES ARE GOING TO BE UP.

>> REFINERY WORKERS OPPOSE THE NEW LAW THE LAW WILL TAKE EFFECT NEXT YEAR.

>> WE ARE CONTINUING OUR LOOK AT PROJECT 2025.

POLICY PLANS DRAFTED BY THE CONSERVATIVE GROUP, IT COULD LIMIT FEDERAL AND STATE PROSECUTORS POWER TO DECIDE WHICH CASES TO PURSUE.

THE DOCUMENT STATES THAT DISTRICT ATTORNEYS WHO DON'T FALL IN LINE MAY FACE LEGAL CONSEQUENCES.

>> PROJECT 2025 STATES THAT THE NEXT CONSERVATIVE ADMINISTRATION SHOULD, QUOTE, ENSURE THAT LITIGATION DECISIONS ARE CONSISTENT WITH THE PRESIDENT'S AGENDA AND THE RULE OF LAW.

THE DEPARTMENTS LEADERSHIP IS PREPARED TO IMPOSE APPROPRIATE DISCIPLINE IF IT DOES NOT HAPPEN .

SHE SAYS THE CHANGE HAS THE POTENTIAL TO DICTATE WHETHER FEDERAL PROSECUTORS ACROSS THE COUNTRY PURSUE CASES OF ALLEGED WRONGDOING AGAINST CERTAIN POLITICIANS.

>> THE WHITE HOUSE IS GOING TO BE INCREASING ITS CONTROL OVER THE DECISIONS TO INITIATE LITIGATION WE WOULD HAVE TO ASSUME THAT WOULD IMPACT INVESTIGATIONS INTO POLITICAL OPPONENTS >> UNDER PROJECT 2025, THE DOJ COULD TAKE LEGAL ACTIONS AGAINST DISTRICT ATTORNEYS WHO REFUSED TO PROSECUTE.

BLAIR SAYS THE PROPOSED POLICY HAS A CLEAR GOAL.

>> IT IS AN ATTACK ON LOCAL CONTROL AND ATTACK ON DEMOCRACY IN AN ATTEMPT TO CREATE A FEDERAL AUTHORITY TO DETERMINE WHETHER LOCAL COMMUNITIES ARE MAKING THE RIGHT OR WRONG CHOICE WHEN THEY DETERMINE WHAT KIND OF JUSTICE SYSTEM THEY WANT.

>> FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP SAYS HE HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH PROJECT 2025, HE HAS ALSO PRAISED THE HERITAGE FOUNDATION FOR LAYING THE GROUNDWORK.

>> RENT CONTROL IS BACK ON THE BALLOT AGAIN.

>> THE RENT IS TOO HIGH, YOU HAVE LIKELY HEARD THAT AS MILLIONS OF CALIFORNIANS STRUGGLE TO PAY.

WHAT SHOULD WE DO ABOUT IT?

THAT WILL BE A QUESTION ON YOUR BALLOT THIS NOVEMBER.

HI, I AM A HOMELESSNESS REPORTER.

MANY CALIFORNIA CITIES LIMIT HOW MUCH A LANDLORD CAN RAISE RENT EACH YEAR THREE DECADES AGO, LAWMAKERS LIMITED THOSE LIMITS.

>> THAT IS BECAUSE OF A LAW KNOWN AS HAWKINS.

PROP 33 WOULD CHANGE THAT LETTING CITIES IMPOSE WHATEVER RENT CONTROL THEY WANT, SOUND FAMILIAR?

WE HAVE BEEN HERE BEFORE, TWICE.

SIMILAR BALLOT MEASURES FAILED IN 2020.

CITIES SHOULD BE ABLE TO DECIDE WHERE AND HOW TO CAP RENT.

IT MAKES IT LESS LUCRATIVE LEADING TO FEWER HOMES BEING BUILT.

VOTE YES IF YOU WANT YOUR CITY TO BE ABLE TO EXPAND RENT CONTROL, VOTE NO IF YOU WANT THE CITY TO KEEP THE RENT CONTROL.

>> AS WE APPROACH ELECTION DAY, ALL EYES ON THE PRESIDENTIAL RACE, VOTER DECISIONS WILL MAKE HISTORY AND IMPACT THE COUNTRY LIKELY FOR FUTURE DECADES TO COME, THERE ALSO SEVERAL LOCAL RACES THAT WILL HAVE BIG IMPACTS, OUR PARTNER FROM VOICE OF SAN DIEGO JOINS AMIGA TO DISCUSS.

>> SCOTT, ON ELECTION NIGHT WHEN THE POLLS CLOSE, THE RESULTS ARE COMING IN, WHAT RACE WILL YOU SCROLL DOWN TO FIRST?

>> THE FIRST ONE I WILL LOOK AT IS THE COUNTY SUPERVISORS DISTRICT RACE, THEY'RE TRYING TO HOLD THEIR SEAT AGAINST THE REPUBLICAN CHALLENGER, EVERYBODY'S WATCHING THAT, MILLIONS OF DOLLARS ARE FLOWING INTO THAT RACE IT IS GOING TO BE A REAL NAILBITER AND EVERYBODY'S REALLY INTERESTED BECAUSE THERE'S SO MUCH AT STAKE ESPECIALLY FOR HOUSING AND HOMELESSNESS THE OTHER ONE I AM REALLY INTERESTED IN I THINK I MIGHT BE THE ONLY ONE IN THE STATE BUT THAT IS PROP 5 I THINK IT WILL BE REALLY CLOSE, 50-50 AND IT WILL HAVE A BIG IMPACT ON CITIES AND COUNTIES GOING FORWARD WHETHER THEY CAN RAISE PROPERTY TAXES TO BUILD STUFF.

>> LET'S TALK ABOUT THAT DISTRICT THREE COUNTY RACE A LITTLE BIT, YOU HAD BEEN ON THE PROGRAM RECENTLY AND YOU HAD SAID LINKING A CANDIDATE TO TRUMP IS SHOWING THAT IT COULD HURT THE CANDIDATES CHANCES, TALK TO ME A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT THAT.

>> SEVERAL YEARS AGO, LORI WAS RUNNING FOR RE-ELECTION AND SHE HAD NO SCANDALS, NO BIG PROBLEMS PEOPLE SEEM TO APPRECIATE HER LEADERSHIP SHE LOST BY 15 POINTS BY THE MOST TENUOUS CONNECTIONS THAT DEMOCRATS WERE ABLE TO MAKE BETWEEN HER AND TRUMP, HE ENDORSED HIM, HE WENT TO THE OVERALL -- OVAL OFFICE, I THINK IT HAS BEEN A VERY POWERFUL POINT THAT THE DEMOCRATS HAD MADE AND THEY HAVE BEEN ON TV DURING THE PLAYOFFS GAMES, THEY HAVE BEEN ALL OVER THE MAIL WITH THE SIGN OF HE STOOD WITH TRUMP AND BILLBOARDS TOO AND THAT IS THEIR MAIN CASE, THE OUTSIDE GROUPS ARE PUTTING ABOUT $2 MILLION IN BUT ABOUT THREE QUARTERS OF IT IS SUPPORTING KEVIN FAULKNER, THE REST IS GOING TO SAY THAT HE STOOD WITH TRUMP AND THAT IS THAT THEIR THEORY >> IF BY CHANCE HE WINS, HOW MIGHT THE VICTORY IMPACT SAN DIEGO COUNTY AS A WHOLE?

>> I THINK THE IMMEDIATE THING IT WILL IMPACT HIS HOUSING.

THERE IS A GENERAL PLAN IN PLACE FOR WHERE YOU CAN BUILD HOUSING, THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF UNITS, THE DEMOCRATIC MAJORITY RIGHT NOW ARE REALLY PUTTING CONSTRAINTS ON THAT HOUSING AND HE WANTS TO LET THOSE BE BUILT IN AREAS THAT ARE PLANNED, THOSE ARE THOUSANDS OF UNITS AND WOULD MAKE A BIG DEAL AND THAT IS WHY SO MANY BUILDERS ARE INVOLVED IN THE RACE RIGHT NOW.

>> THERE HAS BEEN A LOT OF MONEY THROWN INTO THAT RACE RECENTLY.

THERE IS THE 1 MILLION THAT WAS GIVEN BY THE LINCOLN CLUB MUCH OF THAT IS GOING TO BE SET BENT ON CHALLENGER, ANOTHER $300,000 OF PACS IN THE INCUMBENT, WHAT DOES THAT SAY ABOUT THAT RACE RIGHT NOW?

THE MAC THAT IS ABOUT WHAT YOU WOULD NEED TO MAKE THE CASE FOR ANY CANDIDACY FOR MAYOR, YOU HAVE ENOUGH MONEY FOR MAYOR AND HAVE TO MAKE THE CASE THAT THE INCUMBENT HAS TO GO THAT THEY NEED TO LOSE THEIR JOB AND B, YOU ARE THE ONE THAT NEEDS TO REPLACE THEM IN THE SECOND PART IS REALLY WHERE LARRY TURNER WAS STRUGGLING BECAUSE VERY FEW PEOPLE KNEW WHO HE WAS.

TO PUT ADS ALL OVER YOUTUBE SHOULD HELP HIM GET HIS RECOGNITION UP.

WE HAVE ALREADY HAD TWO WEEKS OF VOTING AND PEOPLE HAVE ALREADY MADE THEIR CHOICES.

EVERY HOUR THAT GOES BY THAT HE DOESN'T CHANGE PEOPLE'S MINDS IS AN HOUR THAT BENEFITS THE INCUMBENT.

>> THE EFFORT TO REPLACE ANDREA WHO PLEADED GUILTY TO TWO COUNTS OF FELONY GRAND THEFT, WHAT HAS BEEN GOING ON THERE?

>> TWO CANDIDATES WHO HAS BEEN ON THE KIND OF THIS OLD SULFATE ALLIANCE WITH THE NEWER ONE THAT IS THERE, IT IS DEMOCRATIC BUT THEY ARE ALWAYS GOING AT EACH OTHER.

THEY ARE TRADING JUST AWFUL ACCUSATIONS BACK AND FORTH.

HE HAS ACCUSED HIM OF NOT PAYING TAXES, NOT TREATING HIS EMPLOYEES WELL AND THERE IS A RECALL EFFORT FOR HIM ON THE SCHOOL BOARD, IT IS A REALLY NEGATIVE CAMPAIGN BUT I THINK IT REPRESENTS THAT NOT OLD GUARD AS IN OLDER PEOPLE BUT AN ESTABLISHMENT MORE CONSERVATIVE VERSUS THIS SORT OF GROWING MORE PROGRESSIVE GROUP THAT IS TRYING TO TAKE CONTROL OF THE CITY COUNCIL.

>> THANK YOU FOR COMING ON THE PROGRAM.

>> TO GET MORE INFORMATION ON ALL OF THE LOCAL MEASURES ON YOUR BALLOT, YOU CAN CHECK THE KPBS VOTER HUB .

>> A PLAN TO BUILD A SIX FOOT CHAIN LINK IS OFF OF THE TABLE DEFENSE IS NEEDED ALONG THE TRAIN TRACKS TO PREVENT PEOPLE FROM CROSSING AND GETTING HIT BY A TRAIN.

OPPONENTS SAID THAT WOULD RESTRICT BEACH ACCESS THE COASTAL COMMISSION FILED A LAWSUIT AND ULTIMATELY THE TRANSIT AGENCY WITHDREW ITS PETITION TO BUILD A FENCE.

INSTEAD IT WILL WORK WITH THE CITY AND COASTAL COMMISSION TO BUILD A MUCH SMALLER BARRIER.

>> IT ALWAYS WAS INEVITABLE, THEY WERE NEVER GOING TO GET A FENCE HERE, LITERALLY PEOPLE WOULD'VE BEEN TALKING IT DOWN.

WE HAVE BEEN ACCESSING THE WAVES FOR WELL OVER 100 YEARS.

>> THE LAWSUITS FILED IN CONNECTION WITH THIS ISSUE HAVEN'T BEEN FORMALLY DISMISSED.

A SAN DIEGO SCIENTIST AND AN AUSTRALIAN BUSINESSMAN OR FINDING A WAY TO PRODUCE A SEAWEED THAT NEARLY ELIMINATES THE PRODUCTION OF METHANE IN A COW'S STOMACH.

WE ARE TOLD OF THE PLAN THAT COULD DRAMATICALLY REDUCE THE VOLUME OF A VERY POTENT GREENHOUSE GAS.

>> METHANE IS A GREENHOUSE GAS WHOSE PRODUCTION HAS ROCKETED DO TO HUMAN ACTIVITIES, IT COMES FROM OIL AND GAS DRILLING AND FROM LANDFILLS.

>> THE LARGEST SOURCE OF METHANE ON THE PLANET IS FROM THE AGRICULTURE SECTOR.

>> MOST OF THAT COMES FROM COWS.

THEIR STOMACHS HAVE AN ENZYME THAT CREATES METHANE AS A BYPRODUCT OF DIGESTION.

METHANE THAT IS BURPED OUT BY THE ANIMALS.

>> THEY JUST CREATED THE BEAUTIFUL ARRANGEMENT THAT THE SEAWEED PRODUCES IS QUITE POWERFUL INHIBITORS THAT BLOCK THAT ENZYME IN COWS.

>> THE SEAWEED IS CALLED A SPARE GOBS US.

STEVE MILLER AND HIS COMPANY WANT TO GROW THE SEAWEED IN LAND-BASED OPERATIONS THAT YOU MIGHT COMPARE TO FISH FARMS.

>> CAN WE FIND AN EXTREMELY FAST-GROWING SEAWEED?

>> THIS LAB IS GROWING DIFFERENT KINDS OF THE SEAWEED IN DIFFERENT CONDITIONS.

SMITH IS WORKING WITH MILLER'S COMPANY TO OPTIMIZE THE PRODUCTION OF THE PLANT, THE KEY IS TO FIND THE RIGHT STRAIN OF A ASPARAGOPSIS FOR FARMING .

>> MY LAB HAS THE FREEDOM AND FLEXIBILITY TO DO THE RESEARCH THAT CAN HELP INFORM THE COMMERCIALIZATION OF THE SPECIES AT SCALE.

ASPARAGOPSIS IS NOT CATTLE FEED, IT IS AN ADDITIVE THAT IS LESS THAN 1% OF WHAT THE COW EATS.

EVEN SO, GLOBAL COMPANIES LIKE IT WOULD HAVE TO BE ABLE TO SUPPLY THE WORLD'S CATTLE FARMS WITH A MEANINGFUL AMOUNT.

>> STEVE MILLER SAYS HE HAS BEEN REPORTING THESE IN TANKS BUT HE WILL INCREASE EFFICIENCY BY GROWING AND SALTWATER PONDS.

>> THERE'S A LOT LESS OF IT, IT HAS 30 TIMES THE WARMING POTENTIAL.

>>> WE WILL START YOU OFF WITH YOUR WEATHER HEADLINES, IT HAS BEEN PRETTY DEEP THAT'S WHY WE HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT THE LOW CLOUDS.

REALLY WEST OF THE MOUNTAINS WE HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT THE LOW CLOUD COVER AND FOG.

EVEN THOUGH THE MARINE LAYER WILL SHOUT OUT A LITTLE BIT.

ESPECIALLY IF YOU GO FURTHER TOWARD THE COAST, MOUNTAINS, DESERTS, YOU ARE GOING TO BE UNDER A COOLING TREND, ON TOP OF THAT IT IS GOING TO BE RATHER BREEZY.

ALONG THE COAST OCEANSIDE YOU ARE AT 60, 63, RAMONA EVEN COOLER AT 51, MOUNT LAGUNA DROPPING DOWN TO 52.

NOW, TOMORROW YOU WILL TOP OFF AT 91 CLOSER TOWARD THE COAST DEALING WITH A FEW MORE CLOUDS NOW, OCEANSIDE YOU ARE AT 70, SAN DIEGO FLIRTING WITH 70.

WE DO HAVE A SIGNIFICANT STORM THAT IS DIVING OUT OF THE NORTHWEST THAT IS GOING TO BE BRINGING WITH IT SIGNIFICANTLY COOLER AIR, RELIEF ON THE WAY ACROSS THE DESERT SOUTHWEST BUT WE ARE ALSO TRACKING SOME MOUNTAIN SNOW AND EVEN SOME MORE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THERE FURTHER EAST.

NOW, WE COULD EVEN SEE SOME ACTION HERE ACROSS SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA IT IS NOT GOING TO BE A WASH UP BY ANY MEANS BUT A FEW SHOWERS MAY TRY TO SNEAK IN ACROSS THE DESERT AND ACROSS THE MOUNTAINS.

THE BIGGER STORY IS GOING TO BE THE DRAMATIC COOLDOWN BUT, FRIDAY AFTERNOON WE ARE DROPPING ABOUT 10 TO 20 DEGREES, JUST IN THE SPAN OF 24 HOURS WITH OUR HIGHS AND EVEN FURTHER EAST, YOU WILL SEE THAT DROP EVEN MORE SO BETWEEN 20 TO 30 DEGREES.

ALONG THE COAST, YOU WILL ACTUALLY SEE A WARM-UP HERE HEADING INTO THE WEEKEND.

TEMPERATURES NOT CHANGING DAY TO DAY, AND THEN BY SATURDAY, SUNDAY, WE ARE IN THE UPPER 70s.

IT IS GOING TO BE THE OPPOSITE ACROSS MOUNTAINS AND DESERTS BUT FURTHER INLAND YOU WILL ALSO SEE A SLIGHT WARM-UP HERE, THE HIGHS BACK UP TO THE UPPER 70s, LOW 80s.

FOR THE MOUNTAINS LIKE I SAID, IT IS THE EXACT OPPOSITE YOU ARE ACTUALLY GOING TO BE COOLING DOWN BY QUITE A BIT HERE, WE ARE DOWN TO THE 40s THERE FRIDAY AND SATURDAY BUT, 180 BY SUNDAY, YOUR BACK UP TO THE MID-60s.

YOU WILL COOL DOWN TO THE 80s EVEN THE 70s TO END THE WORK WEEKS, BY THE WEEKEND TEMPERATURES ARE BACK UP TO THE 80s AND WE WILL HAVE PLENTY OF SUNSHINE.

I AM METEOROLOGIST BREE.
