[ MUSIC ] >>> MAJOR FUNDING HAS BEEN MADE POSSIBLE IN PART BY THE BILL HOW FAMILY OF COMPANIES.

FLOOD AND REMODELING SERVICES, FOR OVER 40 YEARS.

AND BY THE CONRAD PREBYS FOUNDATION.

DARLENE MARCOS SHILEY .

AND BY THE FOLLOWING.

AND BY VIEWERS LIKE YOU, THANK YOU.

>>> A FORMER CHULA VISTA COUNCILMEMBER HAS PLED GUILTY TO CHARGES.

THIS COMES LESS THAN TWO WEEKS AFTER SHE RESIGNED FROM COUNSEL.

COREY SUZUKI HAS MORE ON THE PLEA CHANGE, AND WHAT THIS MEANS FOR NEXT WEEK'S ELECTION.>> THIS IS A REALLY BIG DEAL.

UNTIL LAST WEEK, SHE WAS A CITY COUNCILMEMBER IN THE COUNTY'S SECOND LARGEST CITY.

SHE AND HER BROTHER BOTH PLEADED NOT GUILTY TO A NUMBER OF FELONY CHARGES, INCLUDING FELONY GRAND THEFT, FRAUD, AND MONEY LAUNDERING, RELATED TO THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS IN PANDEMIC EMERGENCY FUNDS.

SHE AND HER BROTHER HAVE CHANGED THEIR PLEAS.

THIS MORNING, BOTH OF THEM PLED GUILTY TO TWO COUNTS OF GRAND THEFT AGAINST THE CALIFORNIA EMPLOYMENT DEPARTMENT DEPARTMENT.

A JUDGE IS SCHEDULED TO DECIDE THE SENTENCING LATER THIS YEAR.

>> THANK YOU, COREY.

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR THE UPCOMING PRIMARY ELECTIONS?

>> THIS NEWS ADDS SOME MORE CONFUSION TO THE ELECTION NEXT WEEK.

CARDENAS WAS SET TO RUN FOR RE- ELECTION UNTIL SHE ABRUPTLY RESIGNED LAST WEEK, BUT HER NAME IS STILL ON THE PRIMARY, SO RESIDENTS CAN STILL VOTE FOR HER.

AND SHE MIGHT STILL TRY TO REJOIN THE CITY COUNCIL, IF SHE SOMEHOW WON THE ELECTION.

THIS NEWS ABOUT HER PLEADING GUILTY HAS MADE THIS ELECTION MORE UNCERTAIN.

IN THE NEWSROOM, COREY SUZUKI, KPBS NEWS.>>> TEMPERATURES DROP INTO THE 50s TONIGHT, WE COULD SEE PATCHY FOG DEVELOPING LATE, THEN A COOLING TREND MOVING INTO THE WEEKEND WITH HEAVY RAIN, MOUNTAIN SNOW, AND WINDY CONDITIONS.

A FULL LOOK AT THE FORECAST IS JUST AHEAD.

>>> THE SAN DIEGO BOARD OF SUPERVISORS HAS APPROVED A LONG- TERM PLAN TO HELP WITH MIGRANT SERVICES, BUT THERE IS NO FUNDING TO PUT THE PLAN INTO ACTION.>> MOST OF THE ASYLUM- SEEKERS DON'T PLAN TO STAY HERE.

IN FACT, MORE THAN 95% OF THEM MOVE ON TO OTHER CITIES WITHIN 24 HOURS TO 72 HOURS.

WITH THAT IN MIND, COUNTY LEADERS BELIEVE THE BEST LONG- TERM SOLUTION TO ADDRESSING MIGRANT DROP-OFFS IS A MIGRANT TRANSFER SITE AND SHELTER, A PERMANENT PLACE PEOPLE CAN STAY FOR A FEW DAYS WHILE FINALIZING TRAVEL PLANS.

>> IT IS SPACE TO ACCOMMODATE THE FLOW OF 500 INDIVIDUALS OR FAMILIES PER DAY, IN A LOCATION CLOSE TO THE U.S. AND MEXICO BORDER, WITH THE ABILITY TO EASILY CONNECT TO TRANSPORTATION HUBS.>> THE PLAN DOES NOT IDENTIFY A SPECIFIC FUNDING SOURCE, AND LOCAL OFFICIALS ARE NOT OPTIMISTIC THAT THEY WILL FIND ONE ANYTIME SOON.

STILL, THE COUNTY SUPERVISOR SAYS IT IS HELPFUL TO HAVE A PLAN, EVEN IF THERE IS NO FUNDING BEHIND IT RIGHT NOW.>> I DON'T HAVE A LOT OF HOPE, GIVEN WHAT'S HAPPENING IN CONGRESS, BUT I THINK IT IS INCUMBENT UPON US TO HAVE DONE THE DUE DILIGENCE AND DONE THE WORK TO GO FORWARD WITH A PLAN.>> THEY WERE DISCUSSING THIS PLAN JUST DAYS BEFORE THE MIGRANT CENTER WAS SHUT DOWN DUE TO A LACK OF FUNDING.

SHE SAID COUNTY LEADERS SHOULD HAVE HAD THIS CONVERSATION MONTHS AGO.>> WHEN THE WELCOME CENTER ABRUPTLY CLOSED, THERE WAS NO TRANSITION PLAN IN PLACE.

COMING UP, WHAT'S NEXT FOR ORGANIZATIONS WORKING TO HELP MIGRANTS.>>> CONGRESS FACES THE FIRST OF TWO GOVERNMENT FUNDING DEADLINES IN JUST TWO DAYS, AND THAT CAN MAKE THINGS CONFUSING ABOUT WHAT PROGRAMS WILL BE IMPACTED.>> CONGRESSIONAL LEADERS ARE RACING THE CLOCK AGAIN.>> SAFE TO SAY WE ALL AGREE WE NEED TO AVOID A GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN.>> WE MADE IT SO CLEAR, WE CANNOT HAVE A SHUTDOWN, IT HURT SO MANY PEOPLE, IN SO MANY DIFFERENT WAYS.>> HOUSEHOLDS ARE WONDERING HOW TO REPAIR.

LAWMAKERS PASSED ANOTHER SHORT TERM DEAL, WITH DEADLINES ON MARCH 1 AND MARCH 8.

DEPARTMENTS INCLUDE TRANSPORTATION, HOUSING AND URBAN DEPARTMENT, VETERANS AFFAIRS, AGRICULTURE, AND INDUSTRY.

WHEN FOOD INSPECTORS, TSA WORKERS AND AIR-TRAFFIC CONTROLLERS WOULD STAY ON THE JOB, WITHOUT PAY.

RECIPIENTS OF SNAP BENEFITS AND PREGNANT WOMEN AND NEW MOMS WOULD RECEIVE MARCH PAYMENTS.

VETERAN HEALTHCARE WOULD NOT BE AFFECTED, AND BENEFITS LIKE HOUSING AND PENSIONS WOULD CONTINUE, BUT SERVICES LIKE CAREER COUNSELING AND TRANSITION ASSISTANCE FOR SERVICE AND WAS MOVING INTO CIVILIAN LIFE WOULD NOT BE AVAILABLE.

NEXT WEEK THE DEADLINE INCLUDES THE IRS, DIGITALLY SCALING BACK THE NUMBER OF IRS EMPLOYEES ARE ON THE JOB, AS TAX FILING SEASON APPROACHES A PEEK.

>>> MITCH McCONNELL SAYS IT IS TIME FOR THE NEXT GENERATION OF LEADERSHIP.

HE ANNOUNCED TODAY THAT HE PLANS TO STEP DOWN AS THE PARTIES LEADER, ALTHOUGH HE WILL CONTINUE TO SERVE IN THE SENATE.

HE ADDED THAT THE DECISION WAS MADE FOLLOWING THE DEATH OF HIS WIFE'S YOUNGER SISTER IN A TRAFFIC ACCIDENT THIS MONTH.

HE TURNED 82 THIS WEEK.

HE IS THE LONGEST SERVING PARTY LEADER IN THE SENATE FROM EITHER PARTY.>>> CITY LEADERS IN ESCONDIDO ARE VOTING ON A NEW HOMELESS POLICY, THEY SAY THE ONE-SIZE-FITS-ALL APPROACH FOR HOUSING FIRST HAS NOT BEEN EFFECTIVE.

THE CITY SAYS IT WILL NOT SUPPORT ANY PROGRAM THAT ALLOWS FOR DRUG USE OR ALLOWS PEOPLE TO LIVE ON THE STREET.

THE NEW POLICY WILL PLACE EMPHASIS ON SUBSTANCE ABUSE AND MENTAL HEALTH RESOURCES.>> THEIR RESPONSE IS ONE OF PUNITIVE MEASURE.

THEY ARE SEEING IT NOT AS AN ISSUE OF HOUSING, BUT AN ISSUE OF CRIME.

AS WE SAID, IT IS A COMPLICATED ISSUE, CERTAINLY THERE IS CRIME, BUT HOUSING IS WHAT WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT.

>> THE NEW POLICY WOULD PRIORITIZE CRIME IN PLACES LIKE STATE PARK AND VALLEY PARKWAY.>>> MICHIGAN'S PRIMARIES BROUGHT BIDEN AND TRUMP TO A LIKELY REMATCH, BUT JULIA WILL BREAK DOWN THE RESULTS.>> TRUMP AND BIDEN SECURED BIG WINS LAST NIGHT IN THE MICHIGAN PRIMARIES, BUT THE RESULTS IN THIS KEY BATTLEGROUND STATE CARRIED WARNING SIGNS AS BOTH CANDIDATES ARE EYEING THE GENERAL ELECTION.

ANOTHER COMMANDING REPUBLICAN PRIMARY WIN FOR DONALD TRUMP.

THE FORMER PRESIDENT RECEIVED ROUGHLY 68% OF THE VOTE, HELPING SOLIDIFY HIS PATH TO GOP NOMINATION.

TRUMP IS ALREADY LOOKING TOWARD THE GENERAL ELECTION.>> NOVEMBER 5 CANNOT COME FAST ENOUGH, BECAUSE OUR COUNTRY IS IN SERIOUS TROUBLE.

>> HIS LAST REMAINING PRIMARY OPPONENT, NIKKI HALEY RECEIVED JUST OVER A QUARTER OF THE VOTE ON TUESDAY, INDICATING A SIZABLE GROUP OF REPUBLICAN VOTERS ARE FIRMLY OPPOSED TO TRUMP, OR STILL NEED TO BE WON OVER.>> THIS HAS BECOME BUT ONE MAN, WHEN IT SHOULD BE ABOUT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.

THAT'S WHAT WE ARE FIGHTING FOR.

STANLEY ALSO HIGHLIGHTED ONE OF JOE BIDEN'S VULNERABILITIES.

HE'S EVEN AS HE WON MORE THAN 80% OF THE DEMOCRATIC VOTE, SOME DEMOCRATS USED THEIR BALLOT AS A FORM OF PROTEST AGAINST THE PRESIDENT'S RESPONSE TO THE ISRAEL AND HAMAS WAR IN GAZA.

MORE THAN 100,000 PEOPLE VOTED UNCOMMITTED IN THE DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY.

>> HE NEEDS TO CALL FOR AN IMMEDIATE, PERMANENT CEASE- FIRE, AND HE NEEDS TO STOP FUNDING THE IS WARILY ISRAELI MILITARY WAR CRIMES.>> A SENIOR CAMPAIGN ADVISER SENT OUT A MESSAGE SAYING "RESIDENT BIDEN SHARES THE GOAL OF MANY OF THE FOLKS WHO VOTED UNCOMMITTED, WHICH IS AN ENDS TO THE VIOLENCE, AND A JUST AND LASTING PEACE."

>> MARIANNE WILLIAMSON ANNOUNCED SHE IS BACK IN THE RACE, JUST WEEKS AFTER SUSPENDING HER CAMPAIGN.

SHE MADE THE ANNOUNCEMENT ON SOCIAL MEDIA AND CITED BIDEN'S VULNERABILITIES IN A MATCHUP WITH TRUMP.

>> WE HAVE MORE ABOUT THE UPCOMING ELECTION ON OUR WEBSITE.

FIND Q&A SESSIONS WITH CANDIDATES, AND INFORMATION ON HOW AND WHERE YOU CAN CAST YOUR BALLOT.

>>> THE SUPREME COURT AGREES TO DECIDE WHETHER'S FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP IS IMMUNE TO PROSECUTION.>>> IT HAS BEEN LESS THAN A WEEK SINCE SAN DIEGO COUNTY'S MIGRANT WELCOME CENTER CLOSED DUE TO A LACK OF FUNDING.

BORDER OFFICIALS HAVE OFFICIALLY DROPPED OFF MORE THAN 1000 MIGRANTS ON THE STREETS OF SAN DIEGO.

RELIEF ORGANIZATIONS ARE OVERWHELMED.>> WE RAISE THESE CONCERNS, AND UNFORTUNATELY HERE WE ARE AGAIN.

THERE IS NO LOCAL, COUNTY, OR FEDERAL SUPPORT.>> SHE HAS BEEN WORKING FOR A WEEK STRAIGHT.

SHE WORKS WITH NONPROFITS, AND ADVOCACY GROUPS WELCOMING MIGRANTS AT THE TRENDS IN TRANSIT CENTER.

THEY ARE ALL SCRAMBLING RIGHT NOW, BECAUSE THE MIGRANT WELCOME CENTER CLOSED LAST WEEK.

SAN DIEGO COUNTY SUPERVISORS HAD ALLOCATED $6 MILLION FOR THE CENTER, AND IT WAS SUPPOSED TO STAY OPEN THROUGH THE END OF MARCH, BUT THEY RAN OUT OF MONEY BEFORE THE END OF FEBRUARY.

>> THIS LED TO A SUDDEN CLOSURE, WITHOUT PROPER NOTICE TO OUTSIDE PARTNERS, AND WITHOUT ANY TRANSITION PLAN IN PLACE.

>> THE ADVOCATES ARE FRUSTRATED BY HOW QUICKLY THE MONEY RAN OUT.

>> DESPITE THIS INFUSION OF $6 MILLION, WE HAVE NO WELCOMING INFRASTRUCTURE TO SHOW FOR IT.

>> CUSTOMS AND BORDER PROTECTION HAS BEEN RELEASING ASYLUM-SEEKERS INTO THE STREETS OF SAN DIEGO SINCE SEPTEMBER.

ADVOCATES ASKED COUNTY LEADERS TO INVEST IN PHYSICAL SPACES TO HOST THE SERVICES, BUT THAT DIDN'T HAPPEN, AND NOW THE STREET RELEASES ARE BACK, WITH MORE THAN 1000 DROPPED OFF SINCE LAST THURSDAY.

>> WE ARE FRUSTRATED THAT THE MONEY WAS SPENT IN THE WAY IT WAS, WITHOUT LASTING INFRASTRUCTURE.

WE UNDERSTAND $6 MILLION ISN'T GOING TO KEEP US GOING FOR MANY YEARS, BUT IT COULD BE AN INVESTMENT TO LAY A FOUNDATION.

>> MORE THAN 81,000 MIGRANTS RECEIVED HELP BETWEEN OCTOBER AND LAST WEEK.

THE POLICY ADVISER AT THE WOMEN'S REFUGEE COMMISSION SAYS EVEN WITHOUT COUNTY FUNDING, WELCOMING MIGRANTS DOESN'T HAVE TO BE SO CHAOTIC.>> THE RECEPTION OF NEW ARRIVALS DOESN'T NEED TO BE ONLY THROUGH CRISIS RESPONSE OR EMERGENCY RESPONSE.

IF IT WORKS SO MUCH BETTER WHEN WE ARE ABLE TO WORK COLLABORATIVELY, WE CANNOT BACK AWAY FROM THE WORK, AND INSTEAD LEAN IN.>> THERE ARE EXAMPLES OF SUSTAINABLE PROGRAMS RIGHT HERE IN SAN DIEGO.

JEWISH FAMILY SERVICES HAS HELPED MORE THAN 200,000 MIGRANTS IN THE LAST 5 1/2 YEARS.

CEO MICHAEL HOPKINS SAYS THE WORK REQUIRES A LOT OF COLLABORATION.

>> THIS WORK IS BIGGER THAN JEWISH FAMILY SERVICE OR ANY ONE ORGANIZATION, IT IS BIGGER THAN THE CITY, AND THE COUNTY, ALL PARTNERS NEED TO BE IN THE GAME, DOING THIS WORK.>> THEY RECEIVE MONEY FROM THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AND PRIVATE DONATIONS, BUT THOSE DOLLARS ARE NOT FULLY GUARANTEED FOR NEXT YEAR.

THE OVERALL FUNDING PICTURE IS LIKELY TO REMAIN CLOUDY.

GUESSING WHAT FEDERAL FUNDING WILL BE IS NEXT TO IMPOSSIBLE UNTIL THE NOVEMBER ELECTION.

THIS IS WHY THE SAN DIEGO REGION NEEDS TO DEVELOP A LONG- TERM PLAN, SO SAYS THE SENIOR DIRECTOR FOR JEWISH FAMILY SERVICES.

>> WE ARE A PURE BORDER COMMUNITY AND STATE, FOLKS ARE GOING TO BE FLEEING FOR PROTECTION FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD.

THE UNSHELTERED SERVICE SYSTEM IS BROKEN, THE IMMIGRATION SERVICE SYSTEM IS BROKEN.>> AS OF RIGHT NOW, ELECTED OFFICIALS IN SAN DIEGO DON'T HAVE A PLAN IN PLACE.

THEY HAVE BEGUN DRAFTING A PLAN FOR "LONG-TERM FAMILY FUNDED MIGRANT TRANSFER SITES.

BUT STILL THERE ARE NO SPECIFICS.

WE REACHED OUT AND GOT NO RESPONSE TO OUR REQUEST FOR AN INTERVIEW.

WE SPOKE WITH ANOTHER ADVOCATE WHO HAS NOT STOPPED WORKING SINCE THE MIGRANTS WELCOME CENTER CLOSED.>> THEY SHOULD BE TUNED INTO ALL OF THE CHANGES, AND UNDERSTAND WHAT THEIR ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES ARE, AND NOT JUST SIMPLY SAY HERE IS MONEY, FIX IT.

THAT MONEY IS BOUND TO RUN OUT, IT OBVIOUSLY RAN OUT FASTER THAN EVERYONE EXPECTED IT TO.

SOON HE REALLY HOPES A PLAN WILL BE COMING SOON.>>> AND ALABAMA SUPREME COURT RULING IS HAVING RAMIFICATIONS HERE IN CALIFORNIA.

A CALIFORNIA WOMAN'S LAST VIABLE EMBRYO IS NOW STUCK IN ALABAMA.

THE COURT RULED THAT FROZEN EMBRYOS ARE CHILDREN.

HEATHER MOVED FROM CALIFORNIA TO MISSISSIPPI, WHILE SHE WAS PREGNANT WITH HER NOW 19-MONTH- OLD SON.

SHE WAS REFERRED TO UNIVERSITY OF ALABAMA BIRMINGHAM, WHERE ONE OF HER EMBRYOS REMAINS FROZEN.

>> I PURCHASED TICKETS AND PAID FOR THE TRANSFER FEES.

EVERYTHING WAS IN LINE FOR THIS MARCH 20 TRANSFER DATE.

I COULD HEAR THE DEVASTATION IN MY DOCTOR'S VOICE.

THAT'S WHEN I KNEW IT WASN'T HAPPENING.

>> THEY WEREN'T ABLE TO RELEASE HER EMBRYO TO A FACILITY IN CALIFORNIA.

SHE'S WAITING TO SEE IF ALABAMA LAWMAKERS CAN PASS LEGISLATION TO PROTECT IVF PATIENTS.>>> VISTA IS WORKING ON A CANNABIS EQUITY POLICY.

IT COMES AFTER THE CITY COUNCIL REVIEWED RECOMMENDATIONS LAST NIGHT.

>> TWO YEARS AGO, THE CITY OF VISTA ISSUED A CANNABIS EQUITY ASSESSMENT, TO SEE HOW CANNABIS INDUSTRIES COULD BE EQUITABLY MANAGED, ESPECIALLY BY COMMUNITIES AFFECTED BY THE WAR ON DRUGS.

THERE ARE CURRENTLY 11 DISPENSARIES IN VISTA, BUT THE CITY IS NOT LOOKING TO OPEN MORE.

THE REPORT IS PREPARATION FOR WHAT THE CITY CONSIDERS OTHER TYPES OF CANNABIS BUSINESSES, SUCH AS LUNCHES AND FARMS.

LOOKING AT CITY DATA FROM 2014 THROUGH 2023, THE REPORT FOUND THAT BLACK PEOPLE WERE DISPROPORTIONATELY ARRESTED FOR CANNABIS RELATED CRIMES, COMPARED TO WHITE COUNTERPARTS.

>> NEARLY TWO TIMES REPRESENTATION.>> WE SPOKE WITH THE CANNABIS POLICY EFFORT, GOING BACK TO 1991, BLACK PEOPLE WERE MORE THAN FIVE TIMES AS LIKELY AS WHITES TO BE ALIKE TO ARRESTED FOR POT.

LATINOS WERE NEARLY THREE TIMES AS LIKELY.

TODAY WE ARE SEEING DISPROPORTIONATE ARREST RATES AMONG THESE GROUPS.

>> THE CITY IS PROVIDING FINANCIAL SUPPORT, AND ALSO PROVIDES TECHNICAL SUPPORT, SUGGESTING CURRICULUM FOR PEOPLE ALL, AND LAWS AND REGULATIONS.

IN THE PORT, THEY ALSO MAPPED THE AREA WHERE CANNABIS ARRESTS HAPPENED.

A LOT OF IT WAS IN DISTRICT 1.

KARINA CONTRERAS WAS NOT SURPRISED.>> IT IS ALSO A HEAVILY LATINO AREA, SO WE HAVE SEEN A LOT OF CONCERNS IN DISTRICT 1 THAT HAVE NOT BEEN ADDRESSED, EVERYTHING FROM INCOMPLETE INFRASTRUCTURE TO NOW LOOKING AT HOW CANNABIS SOCIAL EQUITY CAN REALLY BE IMPLEMENTED IN A BETTER WAY, TO BUILD COMMUNITY, AND BUILD MORE PROSPERITY.

>> THE CITY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE WOULD NOT DRAFT A POLICY.>>> THE REVIVE AND SURVIVE INITIATIVE IS TEACHING PEOPLE HOW TO DO CPR.

AND THIS TECHNIQUE IS A LIFESAVER FOR PEOPLE IN CARDIAC ARREST.>> PUSH, PUSH, PUSH.

>> THE FIRST FEW MINUTES AFTER SOMEONE HAS GONE INTO CARDIAC ARREST ARE THE MOST CRITICAL, SAYS DIRECTOR DR. KRISTI KANE EGG.

>> WE NEED TO HAVE SOMEBODY HELP SUPPORT THE HEART UNTIL WE CAN GET EMS PROFESSIONALS TO THE SCENE TO PROVIDE A HIGHER LEVEL OF CARE.

IT WILL INCREASE SURVIVAL, IT CAN DOUBLE YOUR SURVIVAL IF YOU HAVE BYSTANDER HANDS ONLY CPR ON SCENE IMMEDIATELY.

>> THAT WAS THE CASE FOR ROBERT, WHO SUFFERED CARDIAC ARREST IN 2011.

HE CREDITS HIS COWORKER FOR GOING INTO ACTION AND PERFORMING CPR FOR SEVEN MINUTES, AND SAVING HIS LIFE.>> IN YOUR MOMENT OF NEED, THAT LIFE THAT IS SAVED MIGHT BE YOUR OWN.

>> SAN DIEGO COUNTY FIRE DIRECTOR JEFF COLLINS SAYS BYSTANDER CPR IS PERFORMED LESS THAN 50% OF THE TIME IN SAN DIEGO.

HE HOPES THIS INITIATIVE ENCOURAGES INDIVIDUALS TO GET HANDS ONLY CPR TRAINING.

>> THEY CAN BE THERE FOR A FAMILY MEMBER OR FRIEND, OR A STRANGER IN NEED.

>> NINE OUT OF 10 PEOPLE WHO EXPERIENCE CARDIAC ARREST DIE BEFORE THEY REACH THE HOSPITAL.>> BRAIN DEATH STARTS TO OCCUR HER FOUR TO SIX MINUTES AFTER SOMEONE EXPERIENCES CARDIAC ARREST.

THAT IS IF CPR IS NOT PERFORMED.

WE NEED TO GET THERE RIGHT AWAY, BECAUSE NO MATTER HOW QUICKLY FIRST RESPONDERS GET THERE, IF THEY GET THERE AND SOMEONE HAS NOT HAD HANDS ONLY CPR, THE OUTCOME IS NOT GOING TO BE AS GOOD.

>> HANDS ONLY CPR IS SO EASY, A CHILD CAN DO IT.>> YOU JUST REST HARD AND PRESSED FAST, WITH HANDS ONLY, AND YOU CAN SAVE A LIFE.>> TO LEARN MORE ABOUT THE REVIVE AND SURVIVE INITIATIVE, AND WHERE TO GET FREE HANDS ONLY CPR TRAINING, GO TO THEIR WEBSITE.

[ MUSIC ]>>> LOOKING AHEAD TO THE WEATHER HEADLINES, WE ARE CHECKING COOLER WEATHER BEGINNING TO MOVE ON IN, THEN HEADS UP FOR STRONG WIND, RAIN, AND HEAVY MOUNTAIN SNOW TO THE END OF THE WEEKEND THE WEEKEND.

DRY WEATHER WILL RETURN AS WE HEAD INTO NEXT WEEK.

MOUNT LAGUNA, IT'S A COOL NIGHT FOR YOU, AT 38.

IT'S 58 IN SAN DIEGO, 50 IN CHULA VISTA, AND AS WE HEAD INTO THE DAY THURSDAY WE STILL STAY DRY.

NORTHERN CALIFORNIA WILL BE DEALING WITH RAIN, SHOWERS, HEAVY MOUNTAIN SNOW IN THE NORTHERN PART OF THE SIERRA THROUGHOUT THE DAY TOMORROW.

CHULA VISTA WILL SEE TEMPERATURES IN THE MIDDLE 60s, SUNSHINE IN SAN DIEGO AT 65, BORREGO SPRINGS AT 77, MOUNT LAGUNA IS A COOL 46.

LOOKING AT THE WET WEATHER, TO NORTHERN AND CENTRAL CALIFORNIA, THE WINDY CONDITIONS PICK UP ON TOP OF THE HEAVY MOUNTAIN SNOW.

LOOKING AT THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS, EVENTUALLY THE RAIN MAKES IT TO THE COAST.

ANY OUTDOOR PLANS THIS WEEKEND COULD BE IMPACTED WITH SHOWERS TO START THE WEEKEND.

WE DRY OUT WITH MORE SUNSHINE ON SUNDAY, AND AS WE HEAD INTO MONDAY.

LOOKING INLAND, WE STAY MOSTLY CLOUDY ON FRIDAY, COOLER CONDITIONS, WITH SOME RAIN TO START THE WEEKEND.

THE SECOND HALF OF THE WEEKEND IS STILL COOL, PLENTY OF SUNSHINE AND WARMING BACKUP ON MONDAY.

LOOKING AT THE MOUNDS, BREEZY CONDITIONS BY THURSDAY AFTERNOON, STAYING WINDY FOR FRIDAY, WITH A HIGH OF ONLY 44.

WE WILL BE TRACKING SOME SNOW AND VERY WINDY WEATHER, THAT COULD MAKE TRAVEL DIFFICULT FOR SATURDAY AND SUNDAY.

IT WILL BE COLD ON MONDAY, BUT AT LEAST IT WILL BE DRY.

RAIN AND DRIZZLE FOR THE DESERT FOR THE START OF THE WEEKEND.

>> THE ACADEMY AWARDS ARE ON MARCH 10.

OSCAR NOMINEES WILL BE SHOWN, PLUS ANOTHER THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN A CONTENDER.

BETH HAS THESE RECOMMENDATIONS FOR YOUR WEEKEND VIEWING.>> IN THE TEACHERS LOUNGE, CARLA IS A YOUNG TEACHER WHO SEEMS TO HAVE A GOOD RAPPORT WITH HER STUDENTS.

WHEN ONE OF THEM IS SUSPECTED OF THEFT, SHE TRIES TO CLEAR HIM.

FUELED BY IDEALISTIC FERVOR, SHE CHALLENGES THE RACIAL STEREOTYPES YOU FEEL IS IN PLAY.

GOOD INTENTIONS QUICKLY GO AWRY.

THE CONSEQUENCES OF HER ACTIONS SHAKE HER TO HER CORE.

THE FILM SUGGESTS THAT IT CAN BE DIFFICULT TO NAVIGATE THE MODERN WORLD, EVEN WHEN DRIVEN BY GOOD INTENTIONS.

CARLA IS PRESENTED AS COMPLEX, FLAWED, BRAVE, AND NAOVE, A PERSON WE CAN'T ALWAYS FIGURE OUT.

IT'S GRUELING, BUT REWARDING.

BEING A BORDER CITY, SAN DIEGO IS USED TO IMMIGRANT STORIES, BUT INCREASINGLY, ITALY'S FILMMAKERS ARE DRYING STORIES OF IMMIGRANT EXPERIENCE.

IN THIS CASE, AS WITH PEOPLE DRIVING ACROSS THE BORDER TO MEXICO, IT CAN BE DIFFICULT AND DANGEROUS.

THIS JOURNEY IS HEARTBREAKING AND HARROWING, AND ALTHOUGH IT IS A STORY FUELED BY HOPE AND RESILIENCE ON ONE LEVEL, IT ALSO REMINDS US THAT IMMIGRANTS STILL FACE CHALLENGES AND DANGER WHEN THEY REACH ANOTHER COUNTRY.

MISSING FROM THIS YEAR'S OSCAR RANKS IS THE PROMISED LAND, FEATURING AN AWARD WORTHY PERFORMANCE.

A SOLDIER ARRIVES IN 1755 AND LOOKS TO CULTIVATE THE LAND IN HOPES OF EARNING WEALTH AND HONOR.

HARSH LAND AT A CRUEL NEIGHBORING ARISTOCRAT LOOK DOWN ON THE SOLDIER.

FAIR WARNING, NONE OF THESE FILMS ARE CONVENTIONALLY FEEL- GOOD, BUT ALL OF THEM HAVE SUCH INTENSE CARE, IT'S HARD TO TURN AWAY FROM THE SCREEN.

THE PROMISED LAND MAY DESERVE AN AWARD FOR HER THICK HUMAN BEHAVIOR, AND A THEME OF REVENGE.

BUT ALL OF THESE REMARKABLE FILMS SHOW SKILL FROM THEIR DIRECTORS.

>> GREAT RECOMMENDATIONS FROM BETH.

HERE'S A LOOK AT WHAT WE ARE WORKING ON FOR TOMORROW.

TOMORROW IS LEAP DAY.
