AND BY VIEWERS LIKE YOU, THANK YOU.

>> THE HEAT IS ON, AS THEY SAY, AND IT IS EXPECTED TO GET EVEN HOTTER.

THANK YOU FOR JOINING US.

MUCH OF SAN DIEGO COUNTY IS UNDER AN EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING THROUGH SATURDAY.

KATIE TALKED TO LAKESIDE RESIDENTS ABOUT HOW THEY ARE STAYING COOL.>> TEMPERATURES WERE EXPECTED TO REACH 91 DEGREES IN LAKESIDE ON WEDNESDAY.

PARTYGOERS DONNED PLENTY OF PARK PROTECTION FOR THEIR LOCKS.

>> STAY HYDRATED, PAY ATTENTION TO YOUR ATTIRE, HAVE A BIG HAT ON, LONG SLEEVE SHIRT, MAYBE REDUCE SOME OF YOUR OUTDOOR ACTIVITY, BUT STILL ENJOY YOURSELF, YOU SEE SOME OF THE YOUNGER FOLKS OUT HERE, SKATEBOARDING.

>> ONE OF THOSE SKATEBOARDERS WAS BENJAMIN.

>> ONE SUMMER HITS, I ALWAYS GET UP A LITTLE BIT EARLIER, AND ALWAYS HAVE SUNSCREEN, AND AM HYDRATED, I ALWAYS HAVE MY HAT ON, THE MOST IMPORTANT THING I NOTICED IS THE DEFIANT SHADE THROUGH THE DAY.

>> HYDRATION AND SOME PROTECTION WILL BE ESPECIALLY AVOIDANT AS THE WEEK GOES ON.

THE WEATHER SERVICE EXPECT HIGH TEMPERATURES BETWEEN 95 AND 100 DEGREES IN THE SAN DIEGO COUNTY VALLEYS ON FRIDAY AND SATURDAY.

THAT INCLUDES SAN MARCOS, LA MESA, EL CAJON, ESCONDIDO, AND POWAY.

THERE ARE COOL ZONES WHERE PEOPLE CAN BE IN AIR- CONDITIONING, INCLUDING LIBRARIES, CAN COMMUNITY CENTERS, SENIOR CENTERS, AND CHURCHES.

GRACE STOPPED BY THE LIBRARY, TO PICK UP A BOOK ON HER DAY OFF.>> I'M GOING SWIMMING, I'M HERE AT THE LIBRARY, I WILL BE IN THE HOUSE FOR THE REST OF THE DAY, READING MY BOOK.

IF YOU NEED TRANSPORTATION TO A COOL ZONE, YOU CAN CALL 211.

THE COUNTY SUGGESTS AVOIDING UNNECESSARY SUN EXPOSURE, DRINKING PLENTY OF WATER, AND WEARING LIGHT, LOOSEFITTING CLOTHING.

>>> THE HEAT CONTINUES TO BE THE TOP STORY OVER THE NEXT COUPLE DAYS AS IT CONTINUES TO BUILD, NOT ONLY THROUGHOUT THE COASTAL VALLEYS, BUT INTO THE MOUNTAINS, AND ALSO INTO THE DESERTS.

WE WILL BE TALKING ABOUT SOME RECORD CHALLENGING HIGH TEMPERATURES AS WE WORK OUR WAY INTO THE WEEK.

THE BLISTERING HEAT DOES NOT LOOK LIKE IT WILL BE LEAVING ANYTIME SOON.

WE WILL HIGHLIGHT THE NUMBERS, AND IF WE SEE ANY CHANGES COMING UP IN YOUR FORECAST, IN JUST A FEW.

>>> AN UPDATE ON OUR WILDFIRE IN RURAL SOUTHEAST SAN DIEGO COUNTY, THE McCAIN FIRE HAS SPREAD OVER MORE THAN 1300 ACRES.

AS OF THIS MORNING, CAL FIRE SAID IT WAS 50% CONTAINED.

TODAY, ALL EVACUATION WARNINGS WERE LIFTED, AND THE TEMPORARY EVACUATION CENTER AT GOLDEN ACORN CASINO CLOSED.

ALL ROAD CLOSURES NEAR THE FIRE WERE LIFTED THIS AFTERNOON, AS WELL.

>>> CAL FIRE IS GOING TO BE SWITCHING TO A SHORTER WORKWEEK FOR FIRE PERSONNEL LINKS TO NEW FUNDING IN THE STATE BUDGET, AND A DEAL WITH THE CAL FIRE UNION.

THEY CURRENTLY HAVE A THREE DAY WORK WEEK, 72 HOURS ON, 96 HOURS OFF.

THE NEW SCHEDULE WOULD SHORTEN THAT TO 48 HOURS ON, 96 HOURS OFF.

THE CHANGE MEANS THE DEPARTMENT WILL HIRE ABOUT 2400 NEW FIRE PERSONNEL ACROSS THE STATE BY 2029.

CAL FIRE IS WORKING WITH THE UNION ON A ROLL OUT PLAN.

>>> PRESIDENT BIDEN IS MEETING WITH DEMOCRATIC GOVERNORS AND CONGRESSIONAL LEADERS THIS EVENING AS SOME ASK WHETHER HIS CAMPAIGN SHOULD CONTINUE.

THIS COMES AFTER HIS POOR PERFORMANCE IN LAST WEEK'S DEBATE.

JULIA BENBROOK HAS MORE.

>> AFTER PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN'S SHAKY PERFORMANCE IN THE DEBATE LAST WEEK, THE WHITE HOUSE HAS BEEN ON DEFENSE.

>> WE UNDERSTAND THE CONCERNS, WE GET IT, THE PRESIDENT DID NOT HAVE A GREAT NIGHT.

>> THE BIDEN CAMPAIGN HAS INSISTED IT WAS JUST A BAD NIGHT FOR THE 81-YEAR-OLD PRESIDENT, AND HE HAS NO PLANS TO DROP OUT.>> THE PRESIDENT IS IN THIS RACE TO WIN IT.>> ONE ALLY TOLD CNN THAT IF POLLS PLUMMET, FUNDRAISING DRIES UP AND INTERVIEWS GO POORLY, A COMEBACK WILL BE DIFFICULT.

ON TUESDAY, A REPRESENTATIVE BECAME THE FIRST SITTING DEMOCRATIC MEMBER OF CONGRESS TO PUBLICLY CALL ON BIDEN TO STEP AWAY FROM THE RACE.>> I JUST FELT IT WAS IMPORTANT TO SPEAK OUT IN THE MOST RESPECTFUL WAY POSSIBLE, AND SAY THIS IS NOT ABOUT ONE NIGHT.

>> TO ADDRESS THE CONCERNS SURROUNDING BIDEN'S FITNESS FOR OFFICE, THE PRESIDENT IS MEETING WITH DEMOCRATIC CONGRESSIONAL LEADERS AND GOVERNORS.

THE GOVERNORS WANT A DIRECT AND CANDID CONVERSATION WITH THE PRESIDENT.

WE WANT TO MAKE SURE HE IS DOING OKAY.

WE ALL KNOW HIM.

WE ALSO WANT TO TALK ABOUT STRATEGY.

WHEN GOVERNORS GO OUT THERE, WE PUT OUR CREDIBILITY AND BRAND ON THE LINE.>> MOST VOTERS THINK DEMOCRATS HAVE A BETTER CHANCE OF KEEPING THE WHITE HOUSE, IF WYDEN IS NOT THE NOMINEE.

ANY PATH FORWARD WITH SOMEONE ELSE WOULD BE BOTH LOGISTICALLY DIFFICULT, AND POLITICALLY RISKY.>>> AS WE APPROACH INDEPENDENCE DAY AMID A POLARIZING PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION SEASON, SOME ARE ASKING JUST HOW PATRIOTIC ARE WE AS A COUNTRY?

WE TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT PATRIOTISM MEANS, AND WHAT IMPACT IT.

>> FOURTH OF JULY FIREWORKS, BURSTING HIGH IN THE AIR, A SYMBOL OF CELEBRATION FOR THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, SO OFTEN ACCOMPANIED BY THE BROAD STRIPES AND BRIGHT STARS OF U.S.

PRIDE.

248 YEARS SINCE U.S.

INDEPENDENCE, MANY AMERICANS ARE NOT FEELING PATRIOTIC.

>> PATRIOTISM IS DEFINED VERY BROADLY, AS FEELING PRIDE OR LOVE FOR ONE'S COUNTRY.

>> THIS WEEK, A MAJORITY OF VOTERS IN THE UNITED STATES ARE NOT PROUD OF THE COUNTRY TODAY.

AN AMERICAN STUDIES PROFESSOR, ELIZABETH SAYS MUCH OF HOW PEOPLE FEEL HAS TO DO WITH POLITICS.>> FOR INSTANCE, IN THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY, DO YOU FEEL THE GOVERNMENT IS IN THE SERVICE OF HELPING CITIZENS?

IN THE REPUBLICAN PARTY, PATRIOTISM, IS THE UNITED STATES THE STRONGEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD?

SEE ALSO DRIVING DOWN PRIDE?

A SHIFT IN GENERATIONS.

THE ONE THING WE'VE SEEN OVER THE LAST COUPLE DECADES, ESPECIALLY IN THE LAST DECADE, YOUNGER PEOPLE WHO HAVE REALLY NOT BEEN SUPPORTIVE OF MANY OF THE NATIONAL POLICIES, EVEN FOR A PARTY THAT THEY SUPPORT.

AMERICAN PATRIOTISM, THE COUNTRY OFTEN COMES TOGETHER TO FIND COLLECTIVE STRENGTH IN THE FACE OF ADVERSITY.

>> OFTEN TIMES IT IS A SENSE OF SACRIFICE, EVERYBODY BEING INVOLVED TO FIGHT FOR THE GREATER GOOD.

PEOPLE CAME TOGETHER TO HELP ONE ANOTHER OUT.>>> THE DIVISIVENESS IN NATIONAL POLITICS IS ALSO BEING FELT ON A LOCAL LEVEL, WHERE PUBLIC MEETINGS HAVE BEEN INTERRUPTED BY DISORDERLY BEHAVIOR.

COMING UP, WHAT CAN BE DONE TO RESTORE ORDER.>>> AT SEA AFTER ABANDONING DEPLOYMENT BECAUSE OF A DAMAGED MUTTER, AND RETIRE BRINGS US THE LATEST IN THE NAVY'S FIVE-YEAR EFFORT TO GET THIS SHIP BACK TO SEA.>> THE AMPHIBIOUS ASSAULT SHIP IS BACK AT C4 THE NAVY, OPERATIONAL TESTING OF THE PAIRED WRITER IS A KEY STEP IN GETTING THE SHIP BACK ON DEPLOYMENT FOR THE FIRST TIME IN FIVE YEARS.

THE MARINES HAVE FELT THE BOXERS ABSENCE.

IT WENT INTO THE YARDS IN 2019, FOR $200 MILLION IN UPGRADES.

ITS SISTER SHIP WAS DESTROYED BY A FIRE WHILE IT WAS DRY DOCKED.

THE NAVY PUSH TO GET THE BOXER BACK.

POOR OVERSIGHT LED TO THE SHIPPING DELAYED IN 2022, ACCORDING TO A NAVY INVESTIGATION.

FURTHER PROBLEMS AMONG THE CREW LED TO ANOTHER DELAY LAST YEAR.

THE SHIP FINALLY DEPLOYED IN APRIL.

IT WAS ONLY GONE FOR ABOUT A WEEK BEFORE HE HAD TO TURN AROUND AND RETURN TO SAN DIEGO FOR EVEN MORE REPAIRS.

THE ABSENCE OF THE BOXER STRAINS THE OTHER AMPHIBIOUS SHIPS, WHICH HAD TO MAKE UP FOR THE SHORTFALL.>>> TONIGHT, HURRICANE BERYL REACHES JAMAICA, CONTINUING A DEADLY PATH OF DESTRUCTION THROUGH THE CARIBBEAN.

AND COMING UP, AFTER EVENING EDITION, ON KPBS.

>> AND A HURRICANE IS BARRELING OVER JAMAICA, THE PATH THROUGH THE CARIBBEAN IS ALREADY A LETHAL ONE, WITH AT LEAST SEVEN STORM RELATED DEATHS SO FAR.

LORI HAS MORE ON WHETHER LANDFALL AS POSSIBLE.

>> THIS IS WITH THE MONSTROUS HURRICANE LOOKS LIKE THROUGH THE LENS OF A SATELLITE, AS IT GOES ROARING THROUGH THE CARIBBEAN.

IT FIRST SLAMMED ASHORE WITH MAXIMUM SUSTAINED WINDS OF 145 MPH ON MONDAY.

THE SAME LIFE-THREATENING CONDITIONS ARE NOW PUNISHING THE ISLAND OF JAMAICA.

FORECASTERS PUT THE CENTER OF THE STORM JUST SOUTH OF THE ISLAND ON WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON, WITH POWERFUL BANDS OF WIND AND STORM SURGE POSSIBLE OVER THE ENTIRE EASTERN HALF.

JAMAICA'S PRIME MINISTER TOOK TO SOCIAL MEDIA ON WEDNESDAY, URGING EVERYONE IN HIGH RISK IMPACT AREAS TO EVACUATE, WITH OR WITHOUT OFFICIAL NOTICE.

IF YOU LIVE IN A LOW-LYING AREA, OR IF YOU LIVE ON THE BANKS OF A RIVER, I IMPLORE YOU TO EVACUATE TO A SHELTER, OR TO A SAFER PLACE.

>> U.S.

DISASTER RELIEF EFFORTS ARE UNDERWAY, WITH WORLD CENTRAL KITCHEN ANNEXING AND PREPARING SUPPLIES FOR SHIPMENTS TO THE HARD-HIT ISLANDS.

HURRICANE DARRELL IS ALSO CHANGING UP THE ITINERARY FOR SOME PASSENGERS.>> AFTER WE WERE DONE, THEY WERE GOING TO TAKE US NORTH AS FAST AS THEY CAN, TO GET US OUT OF THE PATH OF THE HURRICANE.

>> THEY ARE TRACKING INTO NORTHEASTERN MEXICO BETWEEN NOW AND SUNDAY, WITH A TIGHTLY WOUND CENTER, MAKING A U.S. LANDFALL INTO SOUTHERN TEXAS EARLY NEXT WEEK.

I'M LAURA GEARY, FOR KPBS NEWS.

>>> AS THE WEATHER GETS WARMER, MORE PEOPLE FLOCK TO THE BEACHES.

THE CITY OF SAN DIEGO IS REMINDING FOLKS THAT WE SHARE THE OCEAN WITH MARINE LIFE, AND TO GIVE THEM PLENTY OF SPACE.

OUR KPBS REPORTER ALEXANDER HAS MORE.

SO THEY MAY LOOK CUTE, AND CUDDLY, THEY ARE NOT.

>> PLEASE, STAY A SAFE DISTANCE.

SO THAT IS THE MESSAGE THE CITY IS SENDING AFTER SOCIAL MEDIA VIDEO OF YOUNG WOMEN GETTING TOO CLOSE TO THE SEA LIONS AT LA JOLLA COVE BEACH.

THE MOTHERS MAY BE MORE PROTECTIVE OF THEIR YOUNG AT THIS TIME OF THE SEASON.

EMMA AND HER HUSBAND ARE KEEPING A SAFE DISTANCE.>> HOW PEOPLE GET SO CLOSE TO THEM, IT MAKES ME KIND OF SAD.

>> SEEMS LIKE THIS ARE HARD.

HE IS AGITATED, THE MAIL IS AGITATED BECAUSE ALL OF THIS IS HAPPENING BY HIS FEMALES AND HIS PUPS.

SO THEY TRY TO EDUCATE BEACHGOERS AND KEEP THEM FROM HARASSING THESE MAMMALS.

THIS IS WEDNESDAY, TOMORROW IS A HOLIDAY, AND ON THE WEEKEND, THE BEACH IS FULL OF HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD, SO, GETTING THE MESSAGE OUT LOCALLY IS GOOD.>> I'M ABOUT 50 YARDS AWAY FROM THE SEA LIONS, THAT'S THE DISTANCE NOEL RECOMMENDS PEOPLE STAY AWAY FROM SEA MAMMALS.

AS YOU CAN SEE, PEOPLE ARE NOT HEEDING THAT ADVICE.>> IN THE SHORT TERM WE WERE AT THE BEACH, WE SAW PEOPLE COMING CLOSE FOR A QUICK PHOTO.

THIS WOMAN STEPPED OVER A SEA LION RESTING ON THE STAIRS, AND ENCOURAGED HER SON TO DO THE SAME.

>> WE PREFER THAT YOU WATCH FROM THE BOARDWALK.

>> MICHAEL RUIZ SAYS THESE ARE WILD ANIMALS THAT CAN CAUSE CONSIDERABLE DAMAGE.

A MOTHER CAN BE UP TO 200 POUNDS, AND A MALE CAN REACH 800 POUNDS.

THE REASON WHY I'M HOLDING THIS MALE ADULT SCHOOL IS BECAUSE IT GIVES YOU AN IDEA THAT IT IS IMPORTANT TO KEEP A SAFE DISTANCE.

>> HE HOPES THAT PEOPLE HEED THAT MESSAGE, ESPECIALLY OVER THE BUSY HOLIDAY THIS WEEKEND.>> THERE'S A LOT OF WILDLIFE.

>> SOME EXCELLENT ADVICE.

>> AS THE GOVERNOR CONSIDERS STATE LEGISLATION TO RESTRICT SMART PHONE USE DURING SCHOOL HOURS, ONE LOCAL SCHOOL WANT PARENTS TO WEIGH IN ON THE PHONE POLICY.

LAKESIDE UNION SCHOOL DISTRICT RULES CURRENTLY ESTATE CELL PHONES ARE NOT ALLOWED DURING SCHOOL HOURS.

SOME PARENTS SAY BANNING CELL PHONES CAN BE CONCERNING, IF AN EMERGENCY HAPPENS ON CAMPUS.

SHE WAS A STUDENT AT GRANITE HILLS HIGH SCHOOL, DURING A SCHOOL SHOOTING IN 2001.>> WE HAD OUR SCHOOL SHOOTING, BECAUSE THERE WAS A CELL PHONE IN OUR CLASSROOM, I WAS ABLE TO CALL MY MOM AND TELL HER THE SCHOOL WAS ON LOCKDOWN, THERE WAS A SHOOTING, BUT I WAS SAFE.>> MEANWHILE, MEDICAL EXPERTS SAY YOUNG PEOPLE CAN AFFORD TIME AWAY FROM THEIR PHONES.

THE LATEST ON THE U.S.

MENTAL HEALTH PROGRAM SURVEY SHOWS OVER THREE HOURS OF PHONE TIME PER DAY CAN HAVE NEGATIVE IMPACTS.>>> CAN STABILITY BE RESTORED TO PUBLIC GOVERNMENT MEETINGS?

IT'S A QUESTION MANY ARE GRAPPLING WITH ACROSS THE COUNTRY, AS PUBLIC DISCOURSE HARDENS.

A WARNING, THIS CONTAINS OFFENSIVE LANGUAGE.>> LADIES, GENTLEMEN, TRAITORS.

>> JASON WAS ON A VENOMOUS RANT AT THE SAN DIEGO COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS MEETING IN NOVEMBER 2021.

TO THAT THEN SUPERVISOR NATHAN FLETCHER, HE SAID THIS.

NATHAN, YOU SHOULD KILL YOURSELF, I DON'T KNOW WHERE YOU ARE, A DISHONORABLE DISCHARGE WOULD BE BLOWING YOUR BRAINS OUT.

>> TO THE SUPERS AND DIVORCE TO THE SUPERVISOR, HE SAID THIS.>> YOU ARE A LITTLE , I WOULD LIKE TO SEE YOU HANG FROM A TREE.>> AND TO A THEN PUBLIC COUNTY HEALTH OFFICER, HE SAID THIS.

>> YOU ARE [ CENSORED ] AT AUNT JEMIMA.

THE COMMENTS MAY HAVE FELT THREATENED, BUT SUPERVISORS HAVE FEW REMEDIES TO STOP THEM.>> A THREAT TO BE PROTECTED UNDER THE FIRST AMENDMENT, IT HAS TO BE RECKLESS, CAUSING A PERSON TO REASONABLY FEAR FOR HIS OR HER PHYSICAL SAFETY.

THE COMMENTS ARE CERTAINLY OFFENSIVE.>> FIRST AMENDMENT SPEECH CAN'T BE STOPPED OR PUNISHED JUST BECAUSE IT IS OFFENSIVE.

PROFANITY IS PROTECTED.>> I CAN'T WAIT FOR YOUR ARTERIES TO CLOG, THEY ARE NOT DOING IT FAST ENOUGH.

>> A POLITICAL SCIENCE PROFESSOR TELLS US THIS REALITY LEADS LAWMAKERS TO A TRICKY SPOT.>> THE VOICES WHO CAN'T BE THERE, HOW DO YOU GET THEM TO HAVE THE GOVERNMENT SERVE THEIR INTERESTS, AND MAKE SURE THAT IT MAKES DECISIONS WITHOUT EVERYTHING BEING DROWNED OUT BY ONE VOICE?

>> SUPERVISORS TRIED AFTER HE CALLED HER AUNT JEMIMA.

THEY CUT THE TIME PEOPLE COULD COMMENT, IF THERE ARE 10 OR MORE SPEAKERS, AND IF THOSE SESSIONS TURNED DISORDERLY, THE CHAIRMAN POSITS THE MEETING, AND THE UNRULY PERSON IS REMOVED.

THE SUPERVISOR AND VICE CHAIRWOMAN, UNIMPRESSED.

>> THIS WOULD BE VERY DIFFERENT.

SHE SAID SHE WOULD FURTHER REDUCE THE TIME SOMEONE CAN SPEAK, WITH ONE WANTING TO DISRUPTIVE SPEAKERS BEFORE ADDRESSING THEM IN PERSON AGAIN.

YOU CAN STILL HAVE YOUR VOICE HEARD.>> YOU CAN CALL IN REMOTELY.

SO THAT WOULD BE A PROBLEM.

A PERSON CAN BE KICKED OUT FOR BEING OUT OF CONTROL, BUT CANNOT BE BARRED FROM ALL FUTURE MEETINGS BASED ON THAT PRIOR DISRUPTION.

HE SUGGESTS SUPERVISORS USE THE BULLY PULPIT.

>> WE DO NOT LIKE THIS SPEECH, WE DO NOT THINK IT IS ACCEPTABLE, WE HAVE TO ALLOW PEOPLE TO SAY WHAT THEY HAVE TO SAY, BECAUSE THAT IS THEIR FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHT, BUT WE DO NOT AGREE WITH IT, WE DO NOT CONDONE IT, WE DO NOT WANT THIS TO IMPACT OTHER PEOPLE'S RIGHTS TO BE HEARD.>> KEITH SAYS REMINDING THE PUBLIC THAT THE ROWDY PEOPLE DO NOT REPRESENT THE MAJORITY OF SAN DIEGO MIGHT HELP.>> IF I WERE A SUPERVISOR, I WOULD KEEP PUTTING THAT IN CONTEXT.

I AM SO GRATEFUL THAT SO FEW OF 3 MILLION PEOPLE LIVE IN SAN DIEGO DO NOT THINK THEMSELVES THAT WAY.>> RESTORING STABILITY AT LOCAL GOVERNMENT MEETINGS MAY LIE WITH MANY OF THOSE 3 MILLION IN SAN DIEGO.>> YOU KNOW, I CARE IF THAT TEAM HAS PADS, I CARE IF OUR KIDS HISTORY BOOKS STOP, I WANT IT TO BE IMPORTANT.

>> JOHN IS A MANAGER SPECIALIZING IN PEACE AND RESILIENCE AT THE INSTITUTE FOR PEACE AND JUSTICE.>> THAT IS USING SPEECH TO REORIENT OURSELVES TO WHAT WE THINK IS IMPORTANT AND ACCEPTABLE FOR OUR COMMUNITIES TO MOVE FORWARD.

>> WHEN POLICY THIS AGREEMENT OCCUR, ELECTED OFFICIALS AND THE PUBLIC CAN BARCO BORROW FROM COMMUNITY ORGANIZERS.

RUTH SAYS THEY SEE NO FRIENDS, NO ENEMIES, WHEN WORKING TO SOLVE PROBLEMS.>> BECAUSE YOU MIGHT HAVE TO WORK WITH THAT PERSON NEXT WEEK, ON A PROBLEM, AND YOU ARE GOING TO BE MUCH LESS LIKELY TO CALL THEM A MURDERER IF YOU THINK YOU MIGHT HAVE TO WORK WITH THEM ON ANOTHER ISSUE.>> SAN DIEGO MESA COLLEGE POLITICAL SCIENCE PROFESSOR CARL LUNAR SAYS DOING NOTHING IS NOT AN OPTION.

ACCURACY IS LIKE A RELATIONSHIP, IT DEMANDS AMORTIZATION, AND COMPROMISE, TO TACKLE BASIC PROBLEMS, AND MOVE FORWARD.

WITHOUT IT, INSTITUTIONS LOOK WORSE.>> THOSE WHO WANT TO JUST BURN IT ALL DOWN.

SO WHICH HE SAYS IS A DEATH KNELL FOR DEMOCRACY.

>>> AN EXTRA $9 MILLION IS SET TO GO TOWARD REPAIRS AT A HANDFUL OF AGING POOLS IN SAN DIEGO, A STATE COMMITTEE APPROVED THE FUNDING, WHICH WOULD BE USED FOR REPAIRS.

CARMEL MOUNTAIN, VISTA TERRACE POOL, SWANSON POOL, NEAR UNIVERSITY CITY, AND KEARNY MESA'S POOL.>> NOT EVERYONE HAS A POOL IN THE HOUSE.

WE NEED CENTERS LIKE THIS.

IT WILL HELP PEOPLE IN THE COMMUNITY GET OUT.

THEY WANT TO SWIM, THEY WANT TO LEARN.

SO THE FUNDING IS STILL PENDING CITY APPROVAL.

THEY ARE LOOKING TO MINIMIZE DISRUPTIONS FOR POOL USERS.

TO THE CITY OF SAN DIEGO ANNOUNCED TODAY THAT THE MIRAMAR RESERVOIR WILL BE OPEN TO VISITORS STARTING ON SATURDAY.

THE CITY HAD SUSPENDED ACTIVITIES LAST SEPTEMBER TO INSTALL A NEW UNDERWATER PIPELINE.

THE NEW PIPELINE IS PART OF PURE WATER SAN DIEGO, WHICH AIMS TO PROVIDE ALMOST HALF OF THE LOCAL WATER SUPPLY BY 2035.

WATER PRODUCED AT THE FACILITY WILL FLOW THROUGH 8 MILES OF UNDERGROUND PIPELINE BEFORE REACHING THE RESERVOIR.

>>> LOTS OF HEAT TO TALK ABOUT AS WE WORK OUR WAY THROUGHOUT THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS OF THE INTERIOR VALLEYS, THE MOUNTAIN LOCATIONS AND INTO THE DESERTS, THERE ARE NUMEROUS ADVISORIES OUT, AS WE TALK ABOUT SOME OF THE INTERIOR VALLEYS.

THESE ARE GOING FRIDAY AND INTO SATURDAY.

AS HE WORKED OUT TOWARD THE DESERT LOCATIONS AND TOWARD BORREGO SPRINGS, THESE EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNINGS GO WELL INTO THE NEXT WEEK.

THE HEAT IS NOT GOING TO BE LEAVING SIMILAR LOCATIONS HERE, ANYTIME SOON, AS WE LOOK AT OVERNIGHT LOW TEMPERATURES HERE DROPPING INTO THE 70s TONIGHT AROUND BORREGO SPRINGS, OCEANSIDE TWO CHULA VISTA, 65, 2059 IN RAMONA, STILL SOME COMFORT, AT LEAST A BIT OF A BREAK FROM THE HEAT OVER THE INTERIOR VALLEYS, THAT'S GOING TO CHANGE HERE LATER ON THIS WEEK, AS WE WILL START TO SEE A WARMING TREND AS WE MAKE OUR WAY INTO FRIDAY, AND ALSO INTO SATURDAY, AND WE WILL SEE THAT STRETCHING NORTHBOUND AROUND THE STATE, BUT INTENSE SUNSHINE IS GOING TO BE WITH US HERE, AND WITH THAT HEAT COMES THE RISK OF HEAT -RELATED ILLNESS.

HIGH TEMPERATURES AGAIN TOMORROW, 164 BORREGO SPRINGS, RAMONA CLIMBING UP INTO THE MID- 90s, THAT'S A HUGE LEAP FROM YOUR OVERNIGHT LOW IN OCEANSIDE AND CHULA VISTA, LET'S GO DOWN THE ROAD HERE, TOWARD THE COAST, HOVERING AROUND 80 DEGREES AS WE GO FROM THURSDAY IN TOWARD SATURDAY AND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK, WITH MORE SUNSHINE ON THE WAY.

THE INTERIOR VALLEY IS HEATING UP FRIDAY AND SATURDAY, AND PERHAPS AGAIN EARLY NEXT WEEK, WITH MONDAY'S HIGH TEMPERATURE BACK INTO THE MIDDLE 90s.

EVEN THE MOUNTAINOUS PATIENTS ARE CLIMBING INTO THE 80s, THE MIDDLE 80s AS WE HAD OUR WAY INTO FRIDAY, AND AGAIN, ANOTHER ROUND OF WARMTH ON SUNDAY AND MONDAY, BUT THE CORE OF THE HEAT AGAIN, FOR THE INTERIOR VALLEYS AND THE DESERTS, MIDDLE TO UPPER 100 AND TEENS, DAILY HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL BE CHALLENGED.>>> PREPARATIONS ARE UNDERWAY FOR CALIFORNIA'S LARGEST FIREWORKS SHOW ON THE FOURTH OF JULY, AND IF YOU PLAN TO CATCH THE BIG BOOM, GET THERE EARLY, AND PLAN WHERE YOU ARE GOING TO PARK.

YOU CAN BE PURCHASED PARKING THROUGH THEIR WEBSITE.

THE TROLLEY SERVICE WILL BE EXTENDED UNTIL MIDNIGHT.

THE FOUNDERS HAS THE EVENT DRAWS IN ABOUT 5000 PEOPLE EACH YEAR, AND GENERATES NEARLY $11 MILLION FOR OUR LOCAL ECONOMY.

SEE IF YOU LOVE AMERICA AND THINK ABOUT WHAT THIS MEANS TO YOU, AND IF YOU THINK ABOUT THE AMERICAN DREAM, YOU SHOULD SUPPORT THIS.

IT IS ONCE A YEAR, TO REMIND US OF HOW GREAT OUR COUNTRY IS.

>> FIREWORKS START AT 9:00 P.M. ARCHES WILL BE SET UP ALONG THE BAY IN SHELTER AND HARBOR ISLANDS, AND THE NORTH AND SOUTH END OF THE MARKET ARROW.

>>> U.S.

ATHLETES ARE PREPARING FOR THE OLYMPIC GAMES IN PARIS, THIS WEEK, USA RUGBY ANNOUNCED THE MEN'S TEAM OF CHULA VISTA WILL BE AT THE ATHLETE TRAINING CENTER.

CHARLOTTE TAKES US THERE.

LET'S GO, BROTHERS.

LET'S GET SHARP, COME ON.

>> THE GAME OF SEVENS IS BRUTAL.

ONE MISTAKE CAN LOSE A GAME.

IT IS UNFORGIVING, BUT IT IS HIGHLY EXPLOSIVE, HIGHLY EXCITING TO BE A PART OF IT TODAY.

WHEN YOU TALK TO PEOPLE AROUND SAN DIEGO, THEY UNDERSTAND THERE IS AN OLYMPIC TRAINING CENTER OUTSIDE OF CHULA VISTA.

THEY DO KNOW THAT PEOPLE TRAIN HERE.

IN AMERICA, RUGBY IS STILL KIND OF NEW TO AMERICA, SO THEY'VE TAKEN A LOT OF STRIDES OVER THE LAST 10 YEARS, THE QUALIFICATIONS FOR THE END OF THE GAMES.

WE TRAINED HERE FOUR TIMES.

WE ARE HERE THE ENTIRE TIME.>> THE CHALLENGE IS OBVIOUSLY TO GET SOME SILVERWARE, HOPEFULLY WE ARE GOING TO LOOK FOR THE SHINY STUFF, WE ARE CAPABLE, WE HAVE THE POTENTIAL, IT'S GOING TO BE INSANELY DIFFICULT.

EVERYTHING WE DO ON THE TRAINING PATH IS GOING TO BE ABOUT GETTING READY FOR THOSE GAMES, BEING FOCUSED ON THOSE, AND SEEING WHERE IT TAKES US.
