CALL 1-800-BILLHOW, OR VISIT BILLHOW.COM.

AND BY THE CONRAD FOUNDATION, DARLENE MARCO, AND BY THE FOLLOWING.

AND BY VIEWERS LIKE YOU.

THANK YOU.

>> A BROAD RANGE OF TARIFFS GO INTO EFFECT AT 9:00 TONIGHT.

THANKS FOR JOINING US, I'M MAYA TRABULSI.

PRESIDENT TRUMP FOLLOWED THROUGH THIS AFTERNOON WITH PROMISES TO RAISE TARIFFS.

KPBS REPORTER JOHN CAROL TALKED TO A COMPANY CEO ABOUT WHAT MIGHT HAPPEN NEXT.

>> MY FELLOW AMERICANS, THIS IS LIBERATION DAY.

WAITING FOR A LONG TIME.

>> Reporter: THAT'S HOW PRESIDENT TRUMP BEGAN HIS REMARKS AT THE WHITE HOUSE.

HE WENT ON TO ANNOUNCE A WHOLE SERIES OF TARIFFS AT VARYING LEVELS ON MANY COUNTRIES THAT INCLUDES A 25% TARIFF ON IMPORTED AUTOMOBILES.

THE PRESIDENT SAYS AMERICA HAS BEEN GETTING RIPPED OFF BY FRIENDS AND FOES ALIKE FOR DECADES.

>> AMERICAN CITIZENS WERE FORCED TO SIT ON THE SIDELINES AS OTHER NATIONS GOT RICH AND POWERFUL, MUCH OF IT AT OUR EXPENSE.

BUT NOW IT'S OUR TURN TO PROSPER.

>> A COUPLE OF THINGS TO SAY ABOUT THAT.

>> Reporter: USD ECONOMICS PROFESSOR ALLEN GIN SAYS THE KIND OF PROSPERITY TRUMP IS TALKING ABOUT WOULD TAKE A LONG TIME TO HAPPEN, IF EVER.

>> I APPRECIATE THE IDEA OF TRYING TO PROTECT U.S. JOBS AND THINGS LIKE THAT, BUT TO DO THIS, IT'S GOING TO TAKE YEARS.

THESE SUPPLY CHAINS HAVE BEEN BUILT UP OVER A LONG PERIOD OF TIME.

ACTUALLY, YOU COULD VIEW THE OFFSHORING OF MANUFACTURER EGG IN THE U.S. AS GOING ALL THE WAY BACK TO THE '80s.

>> I AM LITERALLY EYEBALL DEEP MYSELF IN TRYING TO UNDERSTAND THIS BECAUSE I HAVE TO THEN COMMUNICATE THROUGHOUT THE ORGANIZATION HOW ARE WE GOING TO MANAGE THESE TARIFFS.

>> Reporter: REGULAR VIEWERS OF EVENING EDITION WILL RECOGNIZE ERIC BARNES.

HE LEADS CHULA VISTA-BASED HIGH SPAN, A MANUFACTURER OF METAL PRODUCTS FOR INDUSTRIAL APPLICATIONS.

THE COMPANY IS INTERNATIONAL.

THEY OWN A COMPANY IN MEXICO AMONG OTHER BRACES.

HE'S NOT FEELING OPTIMISTIC, TO PUT IT MILDLY.

>> I DON'T SEE ANY SCENARIO WHERE, AT LEAST FOR US WHO IS A GLOBAL COMPANY, WHERE IT SOMEHOW DRIVES UP DEMAND IN ONE OF OUR, YOU KNOW, FACILITIES OR NOT.

>> Reporter: FOR BARNES AND COUNTLESS OTHER AMERICAN BUSINESS LEADERS LIKE HIM, THE TARIFFS PRESENT A COMPLICATED, INCREDIBLY CHALLENGING SITUATION.

BUT LET'S GET BACK TO BASICS FOR A MINUTE.

IT'S IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER JUST WHAT A TARIFF IS.

>> A TARIFF IS A TAX ON IMPORTS.

SO IF A TARIFF IS PLACED ON A PRODUCT, IF IT'S IMPORTED INTO THE COUNTRY, THE IMPORTER HAS TO PAY A TAX TO THE U.S. GOVERNMENT.

USUALLY, THOUGH, THE IMPORTER OR THE BUSINESS THAT BUYS THE PRODUCT THEN IS GOING TO TRY TO PASS THAT COST ON TO CONSUMERS.

>> Reporter: AND THAT'S THE RUB THAT LEADS TO THE BIG QUESTION -- THE ADMINISTRATION HAS ADMITTED TRUMP'S ACTION WILL CAUSE SOME PAIN, BUT HOW MUCH AND HOW LONG WILL THE AMERICAN PEOPLE STAND FOR IT.

THE UNSATISFYING ANSWER FOR ALL OF US?

WE'LL JUST HAVE TO WAIT AND SEE.

>> AS THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY ASSESSES THE IMPACT OF PRESIDENT TRUMP'S TARIFFS, A NUMBER OF U.S. TRADE PARTNERS PLEDGED RETALIATION AHEAD OF THE ANNOUNCEMENT.

AND THEY INCLUDE MEXICO, CANADA, CHINA, JAPAN, SOUTH KOREA, AND THE EUROPEAN UNION.

HERE AT HOME THE U.S. SENATE IS SET TO VOTE ON A RESOLUTION AIMED AT BLOCKING THE DUTIES ON CANADIAN GOODS.

>> THE PEOPLE WHO ARE BEING LIBERATED ARE THE BILLIONAIRES.

NONE OF HIS POLICIES, INCLUDING THESE TARIFFS, ANTICIPATE ANY RELIEF FOR HARDWORKING AND MIDDLE-CLASS FAMILIES.

>> WE GET A LOT OF OUR ELECTRICITY FROM CANADA.

WE GET A LOT OF OUR GASOLINE IN THE NORTHERN PART OF VERMONT FROM CANADA.

WE GET OUR HOME HEATING FUEL FROM CANADA.

CANADA'S OUR FRIEND.

IT'S NOT CHINA.

>> ECONOMISTS SAY TARIFFS BENEFIT CERTAIN DOMESTIC MANUFACTURERS BY LANDING THEM MORE BUSINESS.

ON THE OTHER HAND, IT HURTS INTERNATIONAL PRODUCERS.

>>> WELL, THESE SCATTERED SHOWERS THAT WE'VE BEEN SEEING THROUGHOUT YESTERDAY AND TODAY, THAT'S GOING TO CONTINUE INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS INTO TOMORROW AS WELL.

OVERNIGHT WE'RE DROPPING DOWN TO THE LOW 50s, AND OF COURSE, THE CLOUDS WILL BE STICKING AROUND BECAUSE OF THE SCATTERED SHOWERS.

WE'LL TAKE A LOOK AT THE REST OF THE WEEK AND THE WEEKEND AHEAD COMING UP.

>>> AN INITIATIVE TO MAKE CLEAN ENERGY MORE ACCESSIBLE TO FAMILIES AFFECTED BY JANUARY 2024'S DEVASTATING FLOODS HIT A MILESTONE TODAY.

THEY TEAMED UP WITH THE CENTER FOR SUSTAINABLE ENERGY TO CREATE THE SAN DIEGO SOLAR EQUITY PROGRAM.

THE TEN-YEAR INITIATIVE AIMS TO INSTALL SOLAR PANELS FOR 300 FAMILIES AT LITTLE TO NO COST.

SHE IS A MEMBER OF ONE OF THOSE FAMILIES AND SAYS SHE IS STILL WORKING TO REPAIR HER HOME.

>> I THINK A FEW WEEKS AGO IT RAINED PRETTY HARD, AND I WAS JUST STARING AT THIS WALL THE WHOLE TIME HOPING, BECAUSE I MEAN, IT GOT REPAIRED BUT IT HADN'T RAINED LIKE THAT.

SO I THOUGHT, THAT'S THE TRUE TEST.

>> AND MARISOL SAYS SHE'S SAVING $200 EACH MONTH ON ELECTRICITY, WHICH IS A HUGE HELP FOR HER FAMILY OF FIVE.

VISIT SDSOLAREQUITY.ORG TO FIND OUT IF YOU ARE ELIGIBLE.

>>> GOVERNOR GAVIN NEWSOM AND THE SAN DIEGO MAYOR ANNOUNCED A NEW LAW KNOWN AS CARE COURT.

THEY SUGGESTED IT WOULD FORCE PEOPLE WITH SERIOUS UNTREATED PSYCHOTIC DISORDERS TO ACCEPT TREATMENT AND COUNTIES TO PROVIDE IT.

FOR OUR LATEST WHY IT MATTERS SEGMENT, REPORTER LISA CHECKED ON CARE COURT.

.

>> Reporter: SOME FAMILIES HAVE LONG WATCHED THEIR LOVED ONES CYCLE THROUGH JAILS AND HOSPITALS, OFTEN NEVER GETTING PROPER CARE.

THEN CAME CARE COURT.

IT WOULD GIVE CLINICIANS AND POLICE A NEW TOOL.

THEY COULD PETITION COURTS TO LINK PEOPLE WITH SERIOUS UNTREATED PSYCHOTIC DISORDERS WITH TREATMENT AND OBLIGATE COUNTIES TO DELIVER THAT TREATMENT.

THE GOAL WAS TO AVOID STRICTER CONSERVATORSHIPS BUT STILL HAVE COURT OVERSIGHT.

HERE'S HOW NEWSOME INITIALLY DESCRIBED IT.

>> IT REQUIRES A PARTNERSHIP, HOWEVER, WITH THAT INDIVIDUAL.

THAT'S WHERE TRYING TO FIND A MEETING OF MINDS.

>> Reporter: AND SAN DIEGO MAYOR TODD GLORIA.

>> WHILE CARE COURT IS NOT CONSERVATORSHIP, IT COULD EVENTUALLY LEAD TO CONSERVATORSHIP.

AND THE AIM OF CARE COURT IS TO REACH PEOPLE AT AN EARLIER STAGE BEFORE THEY DETERIORATE OVER REPEATED CRISES, WHICH IS THE ONLY WAY SO MANY OF OUR FOLKS CAN GAIN ACCESS TO THE HOUSING AND SERVICES THEY TRULY NEED RIGHT NOW.

>> Reporter: ADVOCATES RAISED CONCERNS.

NEWSOME SIGNED A LAW THAT INCLUDED CHANGES.

SAN DIEGO COUNTY AND OTHER COUNTIES CREATED A VOLUNTARY PROGRAM.

THIS MEANS OUTREACH WORKERS CAN KEEP ASKING PEOPLE, HOPING THEY'LL SIGN ON, BUT THEY CAN REFUSE.

SO FAR NO ONE HAS BEEN FORCED INTO THE PROGRAM IN SAN DIEGO COUNTY.

AND THE COUNTY HAS NOT PURSUED ANY CONSERVATORSHIPS DIRECTLY BASED ON SOMEONE'S STRUGGLES IN CARE COURT.

AS OF A FEW WEEKS AGO, THE COUNTY SAID IT HAD 105 VOLUNTARY TREATMENT PROGRAMS AND THAT THE PROGRAM HAS HELP UPPED PEOPLE WITH SIGNIFICANT CHALLENGES.

STATE OFFICIALS HAVE ALSO PRAISED SAN DIEGO COUNTY'S CARE COURT PROGRAM.

WHAT SHOULD WE MAKE OF THIS?

THE CARE COURT RHETORIC HASN'T PANNED OUT IN SAN DIEGO.

NEWSOM AND GLORIA SAID IT WOULDN'T JUST OFFER SERVICES BUT PUSH PEOPLE INTO TREATMENT, AND THAT'S NOT HOW IT'S TURNED OUT.

SOME ADVOCATES AND FAMILIES ARE DISAPPOINTED.

THEY ARGUE PEOPLE WHO REFUSE TO PARTICIPATE ARE LEFT BEHIND.

NOW GLORIA IS COSPONSORING A LAW THAT COULD CREATE MORE CONSERVATORSHIPS FOR STRUGGLING CARE COURT PARTICIPANTS.

I'M LISA FOR VOICE OF SAN DIEGO, AND THAT'S WHY IT MATTERS.

>> VOICE OF SAN DIEGO IS ONE OF OUR PUBLIC PARTNERS FOR THE WHY IT MATTERS INITIATIVE.

>>> RESIDENTS IN NATIONAL CITY MAY HAVE NOTICED AN UNEXPECTED ADDITION TO THEIR LIBRARY STAFF, POLICE OFFICERS.

OUR NEWS SOURCE INTERN HANNAH EXPLAINS.

>> Reporter: NATIONAL CITY HAS BEEN USING ARMED POLICE OFFICERS INSTEAD OF PRIVATE SECURITY AT ITS PUBLIC LIBRARY SINCE FEBRUARY.

THAT'S BECAUSE OF AN 80% INCREASE LAST YEAR IN CALLS FOR SERVICE AT THE LIBRARY.

REPORTED DISTURBANCES OF PEACE MORE THAN DOUBLED.

>> WHEN WE WERE DISCUSSING IT, FINANCIALLY IT DIDN'T MAKE A LOT OF SENSE TO PAY A COMPANY TO SIT THERE AND THEN CALL US AND THEN WE'RE SENDING THE SAME RESOURCES THAT WE WOULD HAVE ALREADY HAD THERE TO HANDLE THE CALL.

>> Reporter: NOW AN OFFICER IS PRESENT DURING MOST AFTERNOONS.

AND THEY RECEIVE OVERTIME PAY FOR THAT WORK.

COVERED BY THE FUNDING THAT WAS PREVIOUSLY USED TO PAY FOR PRIVATE SECURITY.

>> BY HAVING A POLICE OFFICER THERE, WE'RE HANDLING THE CALL ON THE FRONT END.

WE DON'T HAVE ANOTHER LAYER THAT WE HAVE TO DO.

SO IT'S BEEN VERY BENEFICIAL TO US.

>> Reporter: IT'S A DIFFERENT APPROACH FROM NEARBY CITIES.

SAN DIEGO AND CHULA VISTA DO NOT STAFF POLICE AT THEIR LIBRARIES.

NATIONAL CITY'S LIBRARY DIRECTOR TELLS US THAT SO FAR THERE'S BEEN A POSITIVE RESPONSE FROM COMMUNITY MEMBERS.

FOR KPBS, EYE NEWS SOURCE INTERN, HANNAH.

>>> I'M JEFF BENNET, TONIGHT ON THE NEWS HOUR, PRESIDENT TRUMP ANNOUNCES A NEW ROUND OF TARIFFS ON TRADING PARTNERS AROUND THE WORLD.

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

>>> MASSIVE JOB CUTS ARE ROLLING THROUGH MULTIPLE AGENCIES WITHIN U.S. HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES.

ONE FDA EMPLOYEE DESCRIBED IT AS A, QUOTE, BLOOD BATH.

AS -- ALONG PARTISAN LINES.

>> THESE FOLKS HAVE NO IDEA WHAT HARM THEY'RE CAUSING.

>> BUT THESE CHANGES HAVE TO BE MADE FOR THE FUTURE OF OUR GOVERNMENT.

>> Reporter: OPPOSING VIEWS ON THE SEISMIC DOWNSIZING WITHIN AGENCIES UNDER THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES, A MOVE THAT HHS SECRETARY ROBERT F. KENNEDY JR.

RECENTLY CALLED A SHIFT TO NEW PRIORITIES.

>> ESPECIALLY ENDING THE CHRONIC DISEASE EPIDEMIC WITH CLEAN WATER, SAFE FOOD, EFFECTIVE MEDICINE, GOOD SCIENCE.

>> Reporter: THE EXACT NUMBER OF JOB CUTS THAT BEGAN TUESDAY NOT IMMEDIATELY CLEAR BUT LAST WEEK SECRETARY KENNEDY FORECAST THAT 10,000 FULL-TIME EMPLOYEES WOULD BE LET GO ON TOP OF THOUSANDS OF OTHERS WHO'VE ALREADY LEFT OR PROBATIONARY EMPLOYEES WHO ARE ON ADMINISTRATIVE LEAVE.

>> I'M SO SAD NOT ONLY AS A FEDERAL WORKER BUT AS AN AMERICAN.

THERE'S NO HEART, THERE'S NO SENSE TO IT.

>> THEY'RE JUST TAKING A HATCHET TO VARIOUS AGENCIES.

THAT HAS AN ENORMOUS IMPACT ON THE HEALTH AND SAFETY, NOT ONLY TODAY AND TOMORROW BUT TEN YEARS FROM NOW.

>> Reporter: AGENCIES INCLUDING THE CENTERS FOR DISEASE CONTROL AND PREVENTION, THE NATIONAL INSTITUTES OF HEALTH, AND THE FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION, IMPACTING WORK ON HIV, INJURY PREVENTION, REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH, MINORITY HEALTH, SMOKING, VIOLENCE, PREVENTION, AND MUCH MORE.

>> WE HAVE AN ENTIRE OFFICE OF HEAD START WHO, THEY'RE GONE, THEY'RE GONE.

>> WE HAVE TO BE CAREFUL.

BUT AT THE SAME TIME, WE CANNOT CONTINUE TO SPEND THE WAY THAT WE ARE.

>> Reporter: WHAT REMAINS WILL BE MERGED INTO A NEW ORGANIZATION CALLED THE ADMINISTRATION FOR A HEALTHY AMERICA OR AHA, SAYS SECRETARY KENNEDY.

>> THE ENTIRE FEDERAL WORKFORCE IS DOWNSIZING NOW, SO THIS WILL BE A PAINFUL PERIOD FOR HHS.

>> Reporter: I'M LAURA FOR KPBS NEWS.

>>> THE LOS ANGELES COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS VOTED TUESDAY TO CREATE A NEW COUNTY DEPARTMENT FOR HOMELESSNESS.

THE FUNDING FOR THE DEPARTMENT IS BEING PULLED FROM A REGIONAL AGENCY THAT HAS FACED AUDITS CRIT SIDING ITS HANDLING ON TAXPAYERS' MONEY.

TOM HAS MORE.

>> Reporter: A SHOWDOWN OVER L.A.'S HOMELESS CRISIS WITH TENSIONS BETWEEN L.A. CITY AND COUNTY LEADERS SPILLING OUT INTO THE PUBLIC.

TUESDAY THE COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS MADE A STUNNING MOVE, VOTING TO GUT L.A. COUNTY'S HOMELESS SERVICES AUTHORITY, A JOINT CITY/COUNTY-RUN AGENCY, STRIPPING IT OF HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF FUNDING AND CREATING A NEW COUNTY-CONTROLLED DEPARTMENT OF HOMELESSNESS.

>> IT'S IMPORTANT TO BUILD A SYSTEM THAT'S GOING TO BE RESPONSIVE, NOT JUST TO THE CITY OF L.A., WHICH IS REALLY WHY IT WAS SET UP.

>> WE ARE MOVING INTO A NEW PHASE, CLOSING A CHAPTER ON WHAT HASN'T WORKED ON HOMELESSNESS AND REALLY TAKING ACCOUNTABILITY, TRANSPARENCY, AND WE'RE TAKING THAT LEAD FROM THE PUBLIC.

>> Reporter: IT WAS BORN OUT OF A LAWSUIT DECADES AGO.

ITS CREATION ALLOWED L.A. COUNTY AND THE CITY TO SHARE CONTROL OVER THE AGENCY'S MASSIVE BUDGET.

SUPERVISORS SAY THEIR MOVE TO CONSOLIDATE POWER WITHIN THE COUNTY WAS MADE AFTER MULTIPLE AUDITS THAT SHOWED THEY LOST TRACK OF BILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN FUNDING.

AND JUST LAST WEEK A FEDERAL JUDGE BLASTED THEM FOR BEING INEFFECTIVE AND MISMANAGED.

>> RIGHT NOW, QUITE FRANKLY, THE FRUSTRATION I'M HEARING AND I FEEL -- AND I WAS ON THE BOARD -- IS THERE'S A LACK OF TRANSPARENCY.

>> Reporter: L.A. MAYOR KAREN BASS RELEASED A STATEMENT OPPOSING THE MOVE TO DEFUND IT, AND SEVERAL L.A. CITY COUNCILMEMBERS CAME TO TUESDAY'S SUPERVISORS BOARD MEETING TO URGE SUPERVISORS TO VOTE AGAINST THE UNRAVELLING.

>> WHAT WE NEED RIGHT NOW IS COLLABORATION AND PLANNING AND NOT UNCERTAINTY.

>> AS YOU KNOW, IT WAS CREATED BECAUSE THERE WERE NOT CLEAR LINES OF COMMUNICATION THROUGH LAWSUITS.

AND THAT NEVER REALLY GOT FULLY RESOLVED THROUGHOUT, AND I FEAR IT ACTUALLY COULD GET WORSE.

>> Reporter: SUPERVISORS SAY THEIR DECISION TO BLOW IT UP IS NOT INTENDED TO SPARK DIVISION.

>> I HAVE NO DOUBT THAT WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO WORK WITH THE CITY OF LOS ANGELES.

I HOPE THEY WILL ALSO CHOOSE TO WORK WITH US BACK, BUT WE ALSO HAVE THAT COMMITMENT TO 87 OTHER CITIES PLUS OUR UNINCORPORATED AREAS.

>> WE COME IN PEACE.

THIS IS NOT ABOUT THE CITY OF L.A., THIS IS ABOUT THE FACT THAT WE ARE THE GATE KEEPER FOR THESE TAXPAYER DOLLARS.

>>> THERE IS A NEW PLACE TO ENJOY THE SAN DIEGO SHORE IN THE SOUTH BAY.

REPORTER MELISSA MAY SHOWS US THE GRAND OPENING OF THE PORT OF SAN DIEGO'S NEWEST AND LARGEST PART.

>> Reporter: SWEETWATER PARK IN CHULA VISTA IS NOW OPEN.

39 ACRES PROVIDING MORE PUBLIC ACCESS TO THE SHORELINE.

THE PARK FEATURES A PLAYGROUND, 2.5 TOTAL MILES OF PEDESTRIAN WALKWAYS AND BICYCLE PATHS, AND MORE.

>> MEADOWS.

MOUNDED GRASSLANDS.

PICNIC SPACE.

SAND DUNES.

NATURAL WALKWAYS.

OVERLOOKS FOR BAY VIEWING.

SIGNAGE TO ACKNOWLEDGE AND REMIND US OF THE ANCESTRAL STEWARDSHIP OF THE LAND.

>> Reporter: THERE'S EVEN A PUBLIC ART INSTALLATION CREATED BY LOCAL ARTIST ROBERTO SOLIS.

IT'S A 25-FOOT SCULPTURE OF A WISHBONE.

SOLIS CALLS IT THE RIGORS OF FLIGHT, AND IT'S A TRIBUTE TO THE FLIGHT TAKEN BY BIRDS IN THE AREA.

>> I LAID DOWN AND CLOSED BY EYES TO LISTEN BETTER.

AND THEN I REALIZED THAT THERE WAS ALL THESE BIRDS FLYING BY.

AND I'M IN THE PACIFIC FLYWAY HERE.

AND I SAID, OH, MAN, THAT'S JUST, THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT BIRDS.

>> Reporter: THE PORT OF SAN DIEGO HELD THREE COMMUNITY MEETINGS TO GET INPUT ABOUT THE PARK.

>> BE ONE OF THE MAIN THINGS PEOPLE WANTED OF THIS PARK WAS THE ABILITY TO WALK THROUGH IT, ENJOY IT, HAVE QUIET SPACE.

THERE'S ALL THESE AREAS YOU CAN SIT AND LOOK OUT INTO NATURE.

YOU CAN LOOK INTO THE NATIONAL RESERVE THAT'S RIGHT NEXT DOOR.

>> Reporter: THE PARK IS PART OF THE CHULA VISTA BAYFRONT MASTER PLAN.

THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA PARTNERED WITH THE PORT TO MAKE IT A REALITY.

>> WE ARE COMMITTED TO THOUGHTFUL, SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT THAT ENHANCES OUR COMMUNITY WHILE PRESERVING NATURE'S BEAUTY THAT MAKES THIS AREA SO SPECIAL.

>> YOU DON'T HAVE TO SPEND A PENNY, AND YOU CAN COME HERE AND ENJOY THE BEAUTIFUL BAY FRONT AND HAVE OPPORTUNITIES TO RECREATE.

>> Reporter: THE GAYLORD PACIFIC RESORT AND CONVENTION CENTER IS THE NEXT PART OF THE PROJECT SET TO BE COMPLETED NEXT MONTH.

>> IF YOU PLAN TO VISIT THE WATERFRONT ANY TIME SOON, PREPARE TO PAY A BIT MORE FOR PARKING.

RATE INCREASES WILL IMPACT ABOUT 700 SPACES AT THREE LOCATIONS.

STARTING TODAY RATES WILL INCREASE FROM $1 TO $2 PER HOUR AT SPANISH LANDING PARK.

AT MARINA PARKS NORTH AND SOUTH, $2.50 PER HOUR.

AT SHELTER ISLAND FROM $1.25 TO $2.25 PER HOUR.

THE RATES ARE GOING UP DUE TOWN CREASED DEMAND FOR PARKING IN THE AREA.

THE RATES WILL INCREASE AGAIN TO $2.50 AT ALL LOCATIONS ON JULY 1st.

>>> 23ANDME RECENTLY FILED FOR BANKRUPTCY AND IS LOOKING TO BE BOUGHT.

SOME ARE URGING USERS TO DELETE THEIR ACCOUNTS.

JEN SULLIVAN EXPLAINS HOW TO KEEP YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION SECURE.

>> Reporter: GENEALOGY KITS HAD BECOME INCREASINGLY POPULAR AS MORE PEOPLE WANT TO LEARN ABOUT WHERE THEY CAME FROM, BUT YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION COULD BE VULNERABLE.

>> WE REALLY DON'T HAVE TOO MANY LAWS THAT PROTECT THIS INFORMATION.

>> Reporter: ANYA PRINCE IS A LAW PROFESSOR AT THE UNIVERSITY OF IOWA.

SHE SAYS IT'S IMPORTANT FOR CUSTOMERS TO READ THESE GENEALOGY COMPANIES' PRIVACY POLICIES BEFORE SIGNING UP.

>> AT THE FEDERAL LEVEL WE DON'T HAVE A GENERAL DATA PROTECTION LAW.

>> Reporter: GENETIC INFORMATION NONDISCRIMINATION ACT PROTECTS PEOPLE FROM BEING DISCRIMINATED BY INSURANCE COMPANIES AND EMPLOYERS BASED ON GENETIC INFORMATION.

AND YOUR HEALTH INFORMATION THAT'S COLLECTED THROUGH THESE SITES IS PROTECTED THROUGH HIPAA.

BUT EVEN IF YOU DELETE YOUR ACCOUNT, PRINCE SAYS TRACES OF YOUR INFORMATION COULD STILL BE AVAILABLE.

>> IT'S NOT A COMPLETE DELETION OF EVERYTHING, BUT IT DOES MINIMIZE THE AMOUNT OF DATA.

>> Reporter: HERE'S HOW 23ANDME WORKS, YOU'RE SENT A KIT TO COLLECT A SAMPLE OF YOUR SALIVA.

THAT CAN SPIT OUT A LOT OF INFORMATION ABOUT YOU, INCLUDING HEALTH RISKS FOR CERTAIN DISEASES, CARRIER RISKS, AND INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR GENETIC ANCESTRY LINE.

IT ESTIMATES IT HAS 15 MILLION CUSTOMERS.

PRINCE SAYS MANY COMPANIES WILL BE INTERESTED TO BUY BECAUSE OF HOW VALUABLE THAT DATA IS.

>> A MEDICAL RESEARCH COMPANY OR A PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANY COULD FIND THIS DATA HELPFUL.

SOMEBODY WHO WANTED TO PARTNER WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT TO SHARE GENETIC INFORMATION MIGHT FIND THIS USEFUL.

>> Reporter: FOR CONSUMER WATCH, I'M JEN SULLIVAN.

>>> WELL, WE'VE SEEN SOME RAINFALL REALLY THROUGHOUT THE WEEK.

IT'S BEEN VERY SCATTERED, AND THAT'S THE TRENDS THAT'S GOING TO CONTINUE THROUGH TOMORROW.

WE DO HAVE A CHANCE OF SOME THUNDERSTORMS, MOSTLY IN OUR INLAND AREAS, NOT UP INTO THE MOUNTAINS, FOR EXAMPLE.

BUT WE ARE GOING TO WARM UP INTO THE WEEKEND AS THIS SYSTEM PASSES.

SO LET'S BREAK IT DOWN STEP BY STEP, STARTING WITH WHAT TO EXPECT FOR TONIGHT.

SO REALLY ACROSS THE BOARD WE'RE HANGING ON TO THE CLOUDS.

SOME OF US HANGING ON TO SOME OF THAT SCATTERED RAIN.

OCEANSIDE WE'RE DROPPING DOWN TO 50.

SAN DIEGO DROPPING DOWN TO 53.

29 IS YOUR LOW IN MOUNT LAGUNA.

26 IN BORREGO SPRINGS.

HANGING ON TO THE CLOUDS TOMORROW.

NOT SEEING AS MANY IN PLACES LIKE BORREGO SPRINGS, BECAUSE WE WON'T SEE THE THAT CHANCE OF SCATTERED RAIN, BUT THAT DOES CONTINUE JUST ABOUT EVERYWHERE ELSE FURTHER INLAND AND TOWARDS THE COAST.

NOW, THIS IS WHERE WE HAVE THE CHANCE OF SOME SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS AS WELL.

SO DON'T BE SURPRISED IF YOU HEAR THUNDER, SEE LIGHTNING.

HEAD INSIDE IF YOU DO.

TEMPERATUREWISE, 64 IN OCEANSIDE.

LOW 60s IN SAN DIEGO.

30s IN MOUNT LAGUNA.

HERE'S A LOOK AT THE SCATTERED RAIN THAT WE ARE LOOKING AT.

WE'LL SEE SOME SNOW MIXED IN UP IN THE MOUNTAINS BUT MAINLY IT'S JUST RAIN HANGING ON INTO THE COAST HERE AS WE GO THROUGHOUT OUR THURSDAY.

BUT RIGHT AROUND NOON WE'RE SEEING SOME OF THE SCATTERED RAINFALL.

SOME HEAVIER AT TIMES AS WE HEAD INTO THE EVENING HOURS AND THEN THAT WILL END UP MOVING OUT OF HERE TAKING A LOOK AT YOUR FIVE-DAY OUTLOOK FOR THE COAST, THURSDAY IS THE ONLY DAY WE'RE DEALING WITH RAIN.

WE CLEAR OUT OTHERWISE FOR THE END OF THE WEEK.

TAKE A LOOK AT HOW THE TEMPERATURES INCREASE FROM THURSDAY TO FRIDAY.

MID-60s TO UPPER 60s.

THE WARMING TREND, THAT CONTINUES AS WE HEAD THROUGH THE WEEKEND SUNDAY SEEING OUR HIGHEST HIGH IN THE MID-70s THERE.

AND THEN WE START TO COOL DOWN.

FURTHER INLAND WE ARE JUMPING FROM THE LOW 60s TO THE UPPER 60s BY FRIDAY.

TOTALLY SUNNY SKIES FOR THE WEEKEND.

WE GET TO THE 80s BY SUNDAY.

THEN OUR MOUNTAIN OUTLOOK WE'RE IN THE 30s, UP INTO THE 40s FOR FRIDAY AND SATURDAY.

>> SO THIS WAS ALL BUILT IN 1915, BUT IT -- DURING THE PACIFIC INTERNATIONAL OF 1935 AND 1936 THIS WAS A NUDIST COLONY WHERE THEY WOULD SUN BATHE ALL DAY.

YOU COULD PAY 25 CENTS TO SPECTATE OR YOU COULD PEEK FOR FREE THROUGH THE FENCE.

>> THE FENCE HAD HOLES IN IT WHERE SPECTATORS WHO DIDN'T WISH TO PAY COULD PEEK THROUGH THE HOLE?

>> THERE'S A HILARIOUS PHOTO OF IT.

>> WHO WERE THE PEOPLE WHO WERE THE NUDISTS HERE?

>> THEY WERE TRAVELING ACTORS THAT I DON'T THINK THIS IS THE ONLY PLACE THAT THEY WERE DOING THIS AT.

THEY WERE GETTING PAID TO JUST LOUNGE ALL DAY NUDE IN THE SUN.

>> THAT SOUNDS LIKE A, YOU KNOW, AN EASY JOB.

>> YEAH.

THE WOMEN WERE COMPLETELY NUDE.

THE MEN HAD A NUDE-COLORED CLOTH OVER THEIR GROIN.

>> OH YEAH, A GROUP OF MOSTLY COLLEGE-AGED WOMEN CAME HERE IN LEOTARDS THAT WERE NUDE COLORED AND THEY RECREATED THE EXPEDITION, AND IT DREW ALL DIFFERENT TYPES OF PEOPLE HERE.

I'M SURE ALL DIFFERENT TYPES OF REACTIONS.
