AND BY THE CONRAD PREBYS FOUNDATION .

AND BY THE FOLLOWING.

AND BY VIEWERS LIKE YOU.

THANK YOU.

>>> POLICE WILL BEGIN ENFORCING THE CITY'S UNSAFE CAMPING ORDINANCE THIS WEEKEND AND THANK YOU FOR JOINING US.

WE SPOKE WITH THE CITY OFFICIALS AND A HOMELESS ADVOCATE TO GIVE US A PICTURE OF WHAT ENFORCEMENT LOOKS LIKE.

>> Reporter: THE CITY'S UNSAFE CAMPING ORDINANCE SPANS ENCAMPMENTS IN PUBLIC PLACES WHEN SHELTERS ARE AVAILABLE AND AT ALL TIMES WITHIN TWO BLOCKS OF SCHOOLS, PARKS, CANYONS, TRANSIT CENTERS AND HOMELESS SHELTERS.

>> WE BEGIN IMPLEMENTATION WITH THE ORDINANCE WE WILL INITIALLY FOCUS AROUND SCHOOLS AND IN MANY OF OUR PART AND WE CAN HAVE A SITUATION WHERE THERE ARE ENCAMPMENTS WITHIN TWO BLOCKS OF K-12 SCHOOLS.

>> Reporter: OFFICERS IN THE POLICE DEPARTMENTS NEIGHBORHOOD POLICING DIVISION HAVE BEEN TRAINED IN THE PROGRESSIVE ENFORCEMENT MODEL AND WILL CONTINUE TO PROVIDE EDUCATION AND OUTREACH TO HOMELESS RESIDENTS ABOUT THE ORDINANCE.

THE CITY SAID OFFICERS WILL GET A LIST OF OPEN SHELTER BEDS IN THE CITY AND TAKE SYSTEM EVERY MORNING AND THEY SAY, IF NEEDED, ENFORCEMENT WILL BE IMPLEMENTED.

>> IF PEOPLE REFUSE TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF A SHELTER OR SAFE SLEEPING SPACE WHEN OFFERED, THE LAW CAN THEN BE ENFORCED AND THE FIRST TIME ANYBODY WOULD REFUSE A SHELTER BED OR SAFE SLEEPING SITE, THE POLICE OFFICER WOULD GIVE THE PERSON A WARNING AND A SECOND TIME IF THEY DECLINED, THEY COULD RECEIVE A MISDEMEANOR CITATION AND THE THIRD TIME THERE COULD BE A CUSTODIAL ARREST.

TRUCK SHE IS AN ADVOCATE WITH HOUSING FOR THE HOMELESS AND SAID ENFORCEMENT WON'T HELP.

>> A BAN WON'T HOUSE ANYONE.

HOUSING IS WHAT SELLS HOMELESSNESS AND WE KNOW WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH OF THAT AND WE HAVE TO BUILD MORE AND WE HAVE TO HAVE A MORE HUMANE WAY TO HELP PEOPLE ON THE STREET OTHER THAN CRIMINALIZATION WHICH IS FISCALLY IRRESPONSIBLE.

>> Reporter: THEY SAID UNSHELTERED RESIDENTS WHO ACCEPT A SHELTER BED WILL BE TRANSPORTED THROUGH AN EFFORT COORDINATED WITH POLICE AND HOMELESS OUTREACH ORGANIZATIONS BUT THEY SAID THEY CAN'T ACCOMMODATE THE NEEDS OF SENIORS ARE DISABLED OR MEDICALLY FRAGILE PEOPLE.

>> PEOPLE WILL BE PHYSICALLY AND MENTALLY HARMED BY THIS AND THINK OF HAVING TO BE A NOMAD IN YOUR OWN CITY AND CARTING ALL OF YOUR THINGS WITH YOU AND 80B0 HEAT.

AND THIS IS WITH NOWHERE TO STOP BECAUSE ANYWHERE YOU STOP, YOU CAN BE CITED FOR ENCROACHMENT OR THE CAMPING BAND.

>> Reporter: ONE QUESTION IS WHETHER THE ORDINANCE IN SAN DIEGO IS DIFFERENT ENOUGH FROM OTHER BANDS THAT HAVE BEEN CHALLENGED IN COURT TO BE CONSIDERED CONSTITUTIONAL.

>> I EXPECT ABOUT THE DAY THE ORDINANCE GOES INTO EFFECT WILL BE NO LATER THAN THE FIRST TIME ANY ATTEMPT WAS MADE TO ENFORCE THE ORDINANCE AND THERE WILL BE A COMPLAINT FILED IN SAN DIEGO FEDERAL COURT.

>> Reporter: HE SAID HE BELIEVES THE ORDINANCE HAS A STRONG LEGAL FOOTING IN THE CITY OF SAN DIEGO CURRENTLY HAS ABOUT 2400 SHELTER BEDS, MOST OF WHICH ARE IN USE BUT THE LATEST POINT IN TIME COUNT DATA SHOWS THERE ARE 3200 UNSHELTERED HOMELESS IN THE CITY.

>>> RIGHT NOW MORE THAN 120 MILLION PEOPLE ARE UNDER HEAT ALERT ACROSS THE COUNTRY WITH RECORD-BREAKING TEMPERATURES NOT THE ONLY THREAT.

WE HAVE THE LATEST.

>> Reporter: A SINISTER SNAP AND A CRASH AS A TREE TOPPLES ON TOP OF THE TRUCK IN NEW JERSEY.

>> A GUY DRIVING DOWN THE STREET GETTING HIT.

>> Reporter: STRONG STORMS TRIGGERING FLOODING ACROSS PARTS OF THE NORTHEAST.

>> IT WAS A 92nd SITUATION.

>> Reporter: THEY HAVE BEEN 16 HEAT RELATED DEATHS SO FAR IN CLARK COUNTY NEBRASKA -- NEVADA AND EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNINGS GOING TO AFFECT THURSDAY FOR NORTHEAST CITIES LIKE NEW YORK, BOSTON, PHILADELPHIA AND IN SOUTHWEST CITIES THE HIGH HEAT HISTORY BOOKS ARE BEING REWRITTEN WITH PHOENIX SEEING 26 CONSECUTIVE DAYS OF TEMPERATURES HIGHER THAN 100.

>> THE STATE OF ARIZONA SEES 570 HEAT RELATED HOSPITAL ILLNESSES LAST WEEK.

>> WE PUT SOME OF THE IVS ON ICE SO WE CAN COOL THAT TEMPERATURE QUICKER FOR THOSE INDIVIDUALS AND WE HAVE ALSO COME UP WITH DIFFERENT WAYS OF CREATING AN ICE BATH IMMEDIATELY ON THE SCENE.

>> Reporter: THERE ARE MORE THAN 30 FIRES BURNING AND HERE A WILDFIRE HAS TRIGGERED AN ALERT EVACUATION ORDER AND FLAMES ARE THREATENING STRUCTURES IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA AND IN OREGON THE GOLDEN FIRE IS DESTROYING HOMES AND DAMAGING MILES OF FIBER- OPTIC CABLES KNOCKING OFF THE INTERNET AND THE 911 SYSTEM LAKE COUNTY WHILE FORCING PEOPLE TO LEAVE THEIR HOMES AND FLEE THE FLAMES.

>> WE CAN ONLY REBUILD AND START OVER.

>>> THE HEAT CONTINUES AND THERE ARE HEAT ALERTS GOING THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT FOR THE INTERIOR VALLEY SO OUT EAST AS WELL OVER THE DESERTS WE ARE LOOKING AT EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNINGS.

TEMPERATURE -WISE, AS WE WORK OUR WAY INTO TOMORROW, IT WILL BE 102 AND WE WILL CLIMB UP INTO THE 100S AND EVEN LAGUNA AROUND 80 AND MID-80s TOWARD OCEANSIDE AND MUCH MORE ON THE HEAT AND HOW LONG IT WILL CONTINUE AND MORE COMING UP.

>>> SAN DIEGO'S LARGEST COMMUNITY POWER AGENCY IS PAYING IT FORWARD WITH PUBLIC GRANTS.

WE SHOW YOU WHO STANDS TO BENEFIT.

>> Reporter: SAN DIEGO COMMUNITY POWER IS DISTRIBUTING $400,000 IN PROFITS TO 10 COMMUNITY GROUPS AND THE MONEY WILL FUND A VARIETY OF LOCAL PROGRAMS FOCUSED ON RENEWABLE ENERGY AND ENERGY LITERACY AND THE UNITED WOMEN OF EAST AFRICA LANDED A $45,000 GRANT TO REACH OUT TO THE COUNTIES ABOUT 30,000 E. AFRICAN RESIDENTS.

>> WE WANTED TO TEACH ABOUT SUSTAINABLE ENERGY AND HOW THEY CAN CHANGE THEIR ATTITUDE ON ENERGY CONSUMPTION AND HOW TO LIVE GREEN IN THIS DAY AND AGE WERE ENERGY IS SO EXPENSIVE.

>> Reporter: THEY HELPED WITH THE PROCESS OF APPLYING AND WILL DELIVER THE MONEY TO THE ORGANIZATIONS IN THIS ROUND OF FUNDING.

THEY PROMISED IT WOULD INVEST IN THE COMMUNITY AFTER THE ORGANIZATION BEGAN BUYING ELECTRICITY FOR SAN DIEGO UTILITY CUSTOMERS THIS PAST SPRING.

>> WE ARE NOT SENDING THEM OUT TO INVESTORS OR STOCKHOLDERS BUT KEEPING IT HERE LOCAL.

>> Reporter: THEY TOOK THE JOB OF BUYING ELECTRICITY FROM SAN DIEGO GAS AND ELECTRIC AND THE NONPROFIT AGENCY PROMISES ONLY TO BUY RENEWABLE ENERGY THROUGH 2025.

>>> BUYING MAJOR ITEMS LIKE HOMES AND VEHICLES COULD BE A LITTLE BIT MORE EXPENSIVE THAN THE FEDERAL RESERVE RAISED INTEREST RATES BY ONE QUARTER POINT TODAY AND HINTED THERE WOULD BE AT LEAST ONE MORE RATE HIKE THIS YEAR AND IT IS THE 11th HIKE SINCE LAST SPRING AND THE HIGHEST RATE LEVEL IN 22 YEARS.

MANY ANALYSTS SAY RATE HIKES COULD HANDCUFF THE COUNTRY ECONOMICALLY AND OTHERS SAY HOLDING RATES STEADY COULD RESULT IN CONSISTENTLY HIGHER INFLATION.

>>> HEALTHCARE WORKERS WERE OUT PICKETING IN FRONT OF THE MEDICAL CENTER AT KAISER PERMANENTE.

THESE WORKERS ARE FIGHTING FOR MORE THAN JUST WORKING CONDITIONS.

TOOK DOZENS OF HEALTHCARE WORKERS JOINED THE PICKET LINE TO BRING AWARENESS TO CRITICAL STAFFING CONDITIONS AND A PATIENT CARE CRISIS AT THEIR FACILITIES PART OF A COORDINATED PROTEST AT MORE THAN 40 KAISER FACILITIES ACROSS THE STATE AND IT IS THE NATION'S LARGEST NONPROFIT HEALTHCARE SYSTEM.

THE COALITION OF KAISER PERMANENTE UNIONS IS CALLING ON KAISER TO MAKE SIGNIFICANT INVESTMENTS IN ITS WORKFORCE AND THE CURRENT CONTRACT IS SET TO EXPIRE SEPTEMBER 30 WITH BOTH SIDES NEGOTIATING SINCE APRIL.

THIS ULTRASOUND TECHNICIAN IS THE PRESIDENT OF THE OFFICE OF AN -- PROFESSIONAL EMPLOYEES AND SAID FACILITIES ARE UNDERSTAFFED AND MEMBERS ARE OVERWORKED.

>> IT AFFECTS OUR ACCESS TO GET THOSE PEOPLE IN AND CARED FOR AND GET THEIR PREVENTATIVE ISSUES TAKEN CARE OF AND ACUTE ISSUES TAKEN CARE OF.

IT GROSSLY IMPACTS OUR QUALITY OF CARE.

>> Reporter: THESE WORKERS SAY THEY ARE NOT ONLY FIGHTING FOR BETTER WORKING CONDITIONS BUT THAT ARE PATIENT CARE AS WELL.

>> Reporter: THIS FOOD SERVICE WORKER HAS SEEN FIRSTHAND HOW THIS AFFECTS PATIENTS AND HE SAID IT HAS DELAYED EACH SERVICE UP TO TWO HOURS.

>> PATIENTS ARE MAD BECAUSE THEY ARE HUNGRY AND YOU GET HUNGRY AND IRRITATED.

YOU CAN'T FEEL BETTER.

THEY DIDN'T COME HERE TO GET MORE SICK BUT TO GET WELL.

>> Reporter: KAISER CALLED THE PICKETING A PLOY DURING NEGOTIATIONS AND IN A STATEMENT KAISER SAID IT HAS COMMITTED TO HIRING 10,000 NEW WORKERS BUT THE HEALTHCARE GIANT SAID IT IS FACING CHALLENGES FROM A LABOR SHORTAGE IN SUPPLY CHAIN DISRUPTIONS AND INCREASES IN DEMAND FOR CARE.

THEY SAY PATIENT CARE WASN'T AFFECTED BY TODAY'S EVENT AND MORE PICKETING IS EXPECTING IN WASHINGTON AND COLORADO.

>> KAISER PERMANENTE IS A CORPORATE SUPPORTER OF KPBS.

>>> A PLAN FOR THE HOMELESS MOVES FORWARD.

THEY VOTED UNANIMOUSLY IN FAVOR OF THE PLAN DURING THEIR MEETING YESTERDAY .

CITY AND STAFF ESTIMATE THE PURCHASE AND RENOVATION WILL COST ABOUT $13 MILLION AND THE MOTEL ON WALNUT AVENUE HAS 31 ROOMS AND THE CITY WANTS TO ADD A SAFE PARKING LOT NEXT-DOOR WHERE PEOPLE CAN SLEEP IN THEIR CARS.

>> 10 YEARS AGO THERE WAS NO HOMELESS IN THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA BUT YOU LOOK AT THE COUNTY AND STATE AND IT HAS BECOME AN EPIDEMIC AND WE NEED TO PROVIDE A SOLUTION.

>>> THE CITY EXPECTS TO HAVE IT CONVERTED INTO HOUSING AND SAFE PARKING BY EARLY 2025.

>>> A RELATIVELY UNKNOWN CONTRACT THAT GIVES CUSTOMS AND BORDER PROTECTION ACCESS TO CRIME DATA HAS ADVOCATES WORRIED.

WE HAVE THAT STORY.

>> Reporter: IN RESPONSE TO THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION'S HARD- LINE IMMIGRATION POLICIES, CALIFORNIA PASSED A SERIES OF LAWS THAT PROTECT IMMIGRANTS.

THEY LIMIT COOPERATION BETWEEN LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT AND FEDERAL IMMIGRATION AUTHORITIES AND ADVOCATE SAY A DEAL BETWEEN THE SAN DIEGO ASSOCIATION OF GOVERNMENTS AND CUSTOMS AND BORDER PROTECTION VIOLATES THE SPIRIT OF THOSE LAWS.

IN JUNE THEY RENEWED A CONTRACT WORTH $131,000 THAT GRANTS ACCESS TO THE LARGEST CRIMINAL DATABASE.

IT CONTAINS DATA FROM EVERY LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCY IN THE COUNTY INCLUDING ARRESTS, TRAFFIC CITATIONS, AND DATA FROM LICENSE PLATE READERS.

>> IT GIVES ACCESS AND WHAT IT DOES IS THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN A PERSON HAVING AN ENCOUNTER WITH THE LOCAL POLICE OFFICER AND THAT ENCOUNTER THEN BECOMING AN IMMIGRATION PROBLEM IS INCREASING.

>> Reporter: HE STUDIES WHAT HE CALLS HOW MINOR CRIMINAL ACTIVITY COULD LEAD TO SERIOUS CONSEQUENCES AND HE SAID THIS PUTS IMMIGRANTS AT RISK FOR BEING DEPORTED FOR SOMETHING AS MINOR AS DRIVING WITH AN EXPIRED REGISTRATION.

TO BE CLEAR HE ISN'T BREAKING ANY LAWS BY SHARING THIS DATA.

BUT HE SAID LOCAL LEADERS NEED TO THINK BEYOND THE LETTER OF THE LAW.

>> FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF ELECTED OFFICIALS, YOU HAVE TO THINK ABOUT WHAT THE MESSAGE IS THAT IT SENDS BECAUSE IT'S NOT LIMITED TO SEVERE CRIMES OR ONE KIND OF CRIME OR ANOTHER BUT IT'S A VERY WIDE RANGE OF ENCOUNTERS.

AND THIS IS WITH CRIMINAL LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES.

>> Reporter: ANOTHER CONCERN IS LACK OF OVERSIGHT.

HE IS THE POLICY DIRECTOR WITH ALLIANCE SAN DIEGO AND SAID THEY HAVE PROVEN IN THE PAST THAT IT CAN'T BE TRUSTED.

>> THERE IS A LONG HISTORY OF ABUSE AND IMPUNITY AND NOT SPEAKING NECESSARILY TO DATABASES BUT IN GENERAL.

I THINK THAT IS SOMETHING THAT HAS TO BE REALLY CONSIDERED.

THIS IS AN AGENCY WE WANT TO TRUST TO HAVE ACCESS.

>> Reporter: SHE REFERENCED AN INCIDENT IN 2019 IN WHICH THEY USE DATA TO SPY ON HUMANITARIAN WORKERS HELPING PEOPLE FROM THE CENTRAL AMERICAN MIGRANT CARAVAN AND THEY DIDN'T RESPOND TO OUR REQUEST FOR COMMENT.

>> WE HAVE TO HAVE A CLEAR UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT THE GUARDRAILS ARE OR PREVENTING THEM FROM ACCESSING DATA OUTSIDE OF WHAT THEY ARE ALLOWED TO ACCESS.

>> Reporter: HE IS WITH THE FOUNDATION AND INVESTIGATIONS.

>> THERE ISN'T A LOT OF QUALITY CONTROL GOING ON.

>> HE SAID MEMORANDUMS OF UNDERSTANDING ARE DESIGNED TO PREVENT ABUSE BUT NOT ALWAYS BACKED UP WITH ENFORCEMENT MECHANISMS.

>> IT'S ON OUR SYSTEM AND IT ISN'T A PARTICULARLY ROBUST SYSTEM.

>> Reporter: THIS DIRECTOR AND THIS CHAIRWOMAN DECLINED INTERVIEW REQUESTS BUT RECORDS SHOW THEY HAVE BEEN GETTING DATA SINCE AT LEAST 2006 AND THEY DID RESPOND IN WRITING AND THEY SAID IT IS THE POLICIES TO REFLECT STATE LAWS THAT LIMIT COOPERATION BETWEEN FEDERAL AND LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT WHICH INCLUDED DELETING SEARCH TERMS LIKE UNDOCUMENTED AND NOW REQUIRES USERS TO ENTER A VALID REASON FOR EACH SEARCH AND PUT IN A DISCLAIMER TELLING USERS NOT ACCESS NONCRIMINAL DATA FOR IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT BUT THERE ARE GENERAL CONCERNS ABOUT THE LACK OF ENFORCEMENT TOOLS.

>> EVEN IF THEY AGREED TO DO ONE THING, YOU CAN'T ALWAYS TRUST THEM TO STICK TO THE RULES.

>> Reporter: THIS EXCHANGE IN NOVEMBER BETWEEN THE FORMER SAN DIEGO SHERIFF IN THE COUNTY SUPERVISOR ILLUSTRATES THE LIMITS OF LOCAL OVERSIGHT AND DURING A COMMUNITY FORUM THEY ASKED WHETHER THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE CAN BE CERTAIN THEY ARE CATCHING OTHER AGENCIES BREAKING RULES.

>> HOW WOULD WE FIND OUT WHAT >> SOMETIMES YOU MIGHT NOT.

IF SOMEBODY PICKS UP THE PHONE AND MAKES A CALL TO SOMEBODY, I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU FIND THAT OUT AND YOU DO THE BEST YOU CAN BY EDUCATING AND WHAT THE RULES ARE BUT IF YOU DO FIND OUT, YOU HANDLE THAT MISCONDUCT INVESTIGATION AND APPROPRIATE DISCIPLINARY ACTION BUT I CAN'T SIT HERE AND GUARANTEE IT HAS NEVER HAPPENED.

>> SO WE DON'T REALLY HAVE A MECHANISM TO MONITOR OTHER AGENCIES?

>> Reporter: THEY DON'T SHARE DATA DIRECTLY WITH CBP BUT THEY SHARED WITH ARCHES AND THEY ARE SHARING WITH THEM.

THEY SAID INDIRECT SHARING IS JUST AS PROBLEMATIC.

>> WE WOULD ARGUE IN GENERAL THAT THIS ENTANGLEMENT AND COLLUSION BETWEEN LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT AND FEDERAL AGENCIES ACROSS THE BOARD WILL LEAD TO LACK OF TRUST WHICH MAKES ALL OF US LESS SAFE.

>>> THE TRUTH IS OUT THERE AND CONGRESS SEEMS DETERMINED TO FIND OUT WHAT IT IS.

WE HAVE A LOOK AT WHAT WE KNOW ABOUT SO-CALLED UAPS.

>> Reporter: UFOs ARE REAL.

>> IS WE CAN BEING UAP ARE IN OUR AIRSPACE.

>> Reporter: THE GOVERNMENT NEEDS TO TAKE THESE MORE SERIOUSLY.

AND LEAST ACCORDING TO TESTIMONY FROM THREE FORMER MILITARY AND INTELLIGENCE PERSONNEL MAKING THEIR CASE FOR MORE GOVERNMENT TRANSPARENCY BEFORE A SUBCOMMITTEE WEDNESDAY.

>> PEOPLE DESERVE TO KNOW WHAT IS HAPPENING.

TRUCK THEY SAY THEY ARE TRACKING 650 INCIDENTS INVOLVING UNIDENTIFIED PHENOMENA CURRENTLY UNEXPLAINED BUT EMPHASIZE NO EVIDENCE OF EXTRATERRESTRIAL LIFE ARE OBJECTS THAT DEFY PHYSICS.

BUT THE FORMER NAVY FIGHTER PILOT AND THIS COMMANDER SAID THEY HAVE SEEN THEM UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL PERFORMING UNEXPLAINABLE MANEUVERS.

>> WE HAVE NOTHING THAT CAN STOP IN MIDAIR AND GO THE OTHER DIRECTION.

>> Reporter: THEY THINK THEY POSE A SAFETY PROBLEM.

>> THIS IS AN URGENT NATIONAL SECURITY PROBLEM AND IF IT'S SOMETHING ELSE IT IS AN ISSUE FOR SCIENCE AND IN EITHER CASE THESE ARE CONCERN FOR FLIGHT SAFETY.

>> THIS IS THE LATEST EFFORT TO FIND THE TRUTH AND WHAT IT MEANS FOR US HERE ON EARTH.

>> AM I CERTAIN THAT ALL OF THESE SIGHTINGS ARE ALIENS?

OF COURSE NOT BUT I DO BELIEVE UNIDENTIFIED AERIAL PHENOMENON AROUND OUR TOP-SECRET MILITARY BASES AS A POSSIBLE THREAT THAT WE HAVE TO TAKE SERIOUSLY.

>>> WILDLIFE OFFICIALS IN SANTA CRUZ ARE TRYING TO CAPTURE A SEA OTTER GAINING WORLDWIDE ATTENTION AND AS WE EXPLAINED THAT IS CREATING DANGEROUS CONDITIONS FOR OTHER OTTERS.

>> ANOTHER DAY AND ATTEMPT TO CAPTURE SEA OTTER 841 IN BOTH FEDERAL AND STATE FISH AND WILDLIFE OFFICIALS HAVE BEEN WORKING TO CAPTURE HER SINCE JULY 2 AND SAY SHE HAS APPROACHED PEOPLE AND HAS BITTEN SURFBOARDS AND FROM THE START THIS PHOTOGRAPHER HAS BEEN FOLLOWING THOSE ATTEMPTS TO CAPTURE IT BUT AS IT CELEBRITY IS GROWN HE SAID HE HAS NOTICED A TREND THAT IS PROBLEMATIC.

>> OVER THE PAST WEEK THERE HAVE BEEN A NUMBER OF KAYAKERS AND PADDLE BOARDER'S MOVING CLOSE TO THE OTTERS AND WHETHER OR NOT IT IS 841 OR ANY OTHER OTTER.

>> PEOPLE WHO ARE HARASSING OTTERS, IT IS TERRIBLE.

THEY NEED THE CALORIES AND THEY DON'T NEED TO BE STRESSED AND SWIMMING AWAY FROM STRANGERS.

>> IT WAS PROBABLY THE MOST CROWDED I HAVE SEEN IT HERE AND MAINLY PEOPLE LOOKING SPECIFICALLY FOR THE OTTER.

AND WHILE MOST OF THEM STAY ONSHORE, IT JUST TAKES A FEW AND A KAYAK TO CHASE AFTER TO REALLY DISTURB THE WHOLE ECOSYSTEM.

>> Reporter: HE IS A BOARD MEMBER OF THE SANCTUARY FOUNDATION AND SAID HARASSING THE SEA OTTERS CAN HAVE BIG IMPACTS.

>> THEY ARE SENSITIVE.

IF YOU MOVE TOWARDS THEM, THEY WILLFULLY AND IT TAKES A LOT OF ENERGY AND IT IS ENERGY THEY COULD USE COLLECTING FOOD OR TAKING CARE OF THEIR YOUNG.

>> Reporter: HE SAID YOU COULD SAFELY ENJOY AND OBSERVE THEM IF YOU FOLLOW KEY RULES.

>> DON'T STARTLE THEM OR MOVE TOWARD THEM AND TRY TO STAY AWAY ABOUT 10 BOAT LENGTHS.

>> HE SAID HE HAS NO PROBLEM USING HIS CAMERA AND HIS SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORM TO SINGLE THOSE OUT TO BREAK THE RULES.

>> WE WILL PUT YOU ON SOCIAL MEDIA AND WE WILL PROBABLY ALSO REPORT YOU TO FISH AND WILDLIFE.

>> OFFICIALS HAVE SAID ONCE THE OTTER IS CAPTURED, SHE WILL BE EXAMINED AT THE AQUARIUM IN MONTEREY BAY AND REHOMED.

>>> WE ARE TALKING ABOUT MORE HEAT COMING UP OVER THE COURSE OF THE NEXT FEW DAYS BUT THERE WILL BE SOME LIMITATIONS HERE DUE TO SOME CLOUDINESS AND FOG AND INCREASING MOISTURE AND THIS IS ALSO GOING TO PROVIDE SOME CHANGES TO THE TEMPERATURE AND ALSO MAYBE THE POTENTIAL FOR WET WEATHER BACK INTO THE PICTURE.

TONIGHT WE TALK ABOUT PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES AND LOW CLOUDS AND THAT AGAIN REDUCES VISIBILITY AND WE ARE QUICKLY CLIMBING AS WE GO THROUGHOUT THURSDAY WITH OCEANSIDE CLIMBING UP INTO THE MID-80s AND HEAR WELL ABOVE THE HISTORICAL AVERAGE OF 102 AND HEAR WELL UP INTO THE 100 RANGE AND TEEN RANGE AND THERE ARE HEAT ADVISORIES, WIDESPREAD STRETCHING AWAY FROM THE COAST ONCE YOU MOVE INTO THE INTERIOR VALLEYS AND ESPECIALLY WHERE THE MOUNTAINS AND THE DESERTS ARE WHERE YOU CAN SEE EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNINGS AND HERE A CHANGE IS COMING UP AS WE GO DOWN THE ROAD AND AT THE COAST IT WILL BE SUBTLE AS WE STAY PUT INTO THE 80s THE NEXT FEW DAYS GRADUALLY SLIDING DOWN AS WE HAD OUR WAY INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK.

SOME OF THE INTERIOR VALLEYS MAY BE MORE NOTICEABLE AS WE GO FROM TOMORROW AND FRIDAY TOO LATE THIS WEEKEND WHICH IS WHEN WE SEE TEMPERATURES DROPPING OFF INTO THE UPPER 80s FOR HIGHS AND STAYING PUT AS WE GO EARLY INTO NEXT WEEK.

AND THEN HERE NOT ONLY WILL WE SEE TEMPERATURES FALLING AS WE WORK OUR WAY DOWN THE ROAD BUT WE DO NOTICE INCREASED CLOUD COVERAGE AND EVEN A STRAY UNDER SHOWER AS WE LOOK AT DOWN THE ROAD HERE AND MONDAY SO THERE IS SOME OF THE MOISTURE MAKING A RETURN AS WE HAD HER WAY INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK AND IT WILL ALSO BEGIN TO REDUCE THE EXTENT OR INTENSITY OF THE HEAT THROUGHOUT THE DESERT SO WE WILL FALL BACK DOWN INTO THE 90s AS WE HEAD INTO MONDAY.

>>> SAN DIEGO COUNTY IS ONE OF THE WEALTHIEST AREAS IN THE COUNTRY.

SO IT IS EASY TO FORGET THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE HERE WHO DON'T HAVE ENOUGH TO EAT.

ARE REPORTER SAYS IT IS GETTING SO BAD THAT ONE LOCAL FOOD PANTRY IS WORRIED THEIR SUPPLIES MAY RUN OUT.

>> Reporter: IT IS 9:00 ON A MONDAY MORNING AND THE PEOPLE HERE AT SUNSET CLIFFS AND SARATOGA AVENUE AND OCEAN BEACH HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR HOURS FOR FOOD DISTRIBUTION TO BEGIN.

>> Reporter: THAT IS PATRICK SAYING THE NEXT PERSON IN LINE HAS ITEMS FOR COOKING AND THERE ARE ALSO BAGS THAT ARE NO COOKING.

HE IS THE PANTRY COORDINATOR FOR LOAVES AND FISHES, A PANTRY SUPPORTED BY SIX CHURCHES IN THE AREA AND HE HAS BEEN DOING THIS FOR MORE THAN 2 1/2 YEARS.

>> THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I HAVE BEEN WORRIED ABOUT FEEDING PEOPLE.

>> Reporter: HE SAID PRE- PANDEMIC THEY GOT ALL THE FOOD THEY NEEDED FROM DONATIONS AND THE FOOD BANK AND FEEDING SAN DIEGO AND THEN THE PANDEMIC HIT AND TERRIBLE IN MOST REGARDS BUT NOT FOR LOAVES AND FISHES.

>> THE PANDEMIC WAS GREAT FOR THE BENEFITS THAT WERE HAPPENING SO THE GOVERNMENT OPENED UP THEIR HANDS AND HEARTS AND THEY WERE READY TO HELP.

>> Reporter: THAT FINANCIAL HELP RIGHT UP IN MARCH AND DONATIONS ONLY MAKE UP 30% OF THE FOOD THEY NEED.

THE REST THEY HAVE TO BUY FROM THE FOOD BANK AND FEEDING SAN DIEGO.

>> THEY HAVE IT CHEAPER AND IT'S GREAT.

>> Reporter: HE SAID SOME ITEMS THEY HAVE TO GET THEMSELVES.

>> SOME ARE EXPENSIVE AND THINGS WE CARE ABOUT LIKE PEANUT BUTTER AND TUNA AND SOUPS.

>> Reporter: LOAVES AND FISHES LIKE OTHER FOOD PANTRIES OPERATES ON A SHOESTRING BUDGET.

>> WE HAVE VOLUNTEERS GO GET STEP OUT OF THEIR POCKETS AND GENEROSITY OF EVERYBODY HAS BEEN AWESOME.

>> Reporter: EVEN WITH THAT, IT'S HARDER AND HARDER TO PUT TOGETHER THESE BAGS OF FOOD FOR THESE PEOPLE.

>> I AM 80 YEARS OLD.

I SHOULDN'T BE IN THIS LINE.

>> Reporter: HE IS A VETERAN OF VIETNAM AND FOR HIM THIS IS ABOUT MUCH MORE THAN FOOD.

>> I WAS LOSING IT AND THE ONLY THING THAT KEPT ME TOGETHER WAS BEING ABLE TO COME HERE.

TRUCK THEY DO HAND OUT MORE THAN FOOD AND THEY HANDED OUT NOT FOR HUMANS BUT ALSO FOR DOGS AND CATS AND THE WOMAN WHO LEADS THAT EFFORT, HER NAME IS PAULA.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

>> WE ARE BAGGING UP DOG AND CAT FOOD.

>> Reporter: THIS HELPS IN SO MANY WAYS.

>> THEY ARE SO IMPORTANT TO OUR MENTAL HEALTH.

>> Reporter: IN THESE TOUGH TIMES, PATRICK SAID HE NEVER LOSES HOPE.

>> ALL WE HAVE IS HOPE AND EVEN WHEN WE RUN OUT OF FOOD, I STILL WILL HAVE HOPE AND BE GIVING HOPE AND I DO BELIEVE IN THAT AND I HAVEN'T LOST HOPE YET BUT IT HAS BEEN HARDER TO FIND IT.

>> Reporter: IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO HELP HERE IS THE WEBSITE AND FEEDING SAN DIEGO AND THE SAN DIEGO FOOD BANK CAN ALSO USE DONATIONS AS WELL AND THESE ARE DONATIONS THAT KEEP HOPE ALIVE FOR SO MANY.
