>> AFTER THE WINDS DIED DOWN WE CAN BE IN FOR ANOTHER ROUND BRING IN AN INCREASED RISK OF FIRE DANGER.

>> Reporter: THE SANTA ANNA WINDS GOT SCARY.

MAGGIE SAID HER WINDS TURNED HER ROUTINE INTO CHAOS.

>> IT WAS PRETTY BAD.

WE HAD LIVESTOCK, HORSES AND CATTLE AND YOU COULD NOT SEE THE LIVESTOCK THIS MORNING BECAUSE THE HAY WOULD BLOW AWAY.

THE HORSES HAVE CONTAINERS THAT YOU PUT THE HAY IN, BUT THE CATTLE -- THEY COULD NOT GET THERE HAY.

WE HAD TO FEED THEM LATER IN THE DAY WHEN THE WIND DIED DOWN.

>> ALEX SAID THIS IS THE STRONGEST EVENT OF THE YEAR SO FAR.

>> THIS SANTA ANNA THAT WE HAD TODAY WAS STRONGER THAN THE LAST TWO, SO WE SAW WINDS UP TO 80 MILES PER HOUR IN THE MOUNTAINS.

MOST AREAS SAW WINDS OF 20 TO 40 MILES PER HOUR, BUT EVERYONE FELT THE DRY AIR COMING IN FROM THE DESERT.

>> THE MOUNTAIN EMPIRE SCHOOL DISTRICT CANCELED CLASSES TODAY BECAUSE OF THE HIGH WINDS.

THE CURRENT HIGH WIND WARNING WILL REMAIN IN EFFECT UNTIL 10:00 TONIGHT, BUT THAT WON'T BE THE END OF IT.

>> ANOTHER SANTA ANA IS COMING IN FRIDAY NIGHT AND WE WILL FEEL THE EFFECTS OF THAT ON SATURDAY, SO WE ARE LIKELY TO HAVE A GREATER FIRE DANGER ON SATURDAY.

>> Reporter:CAPTAIN THOMAS SHOOTS WITH CAL FIRE SAN DIEGO SAYS THEY ARE AT PEAK FIRE STAFFING LEVEL.

>> THE CHALLENGE WE HAVE THIS TIME OF YEAR IS THAT EVERYTHING HAS BEEN COOKING ALL YEAR LONG.

>> HE SAYS THIS SANTA ANNA WIND EVENT IS ALREADY ERASED A LITTLE PROGRESS MADE BY LAST WEEK'S STORM.

>> EVEN THOUGH WE GOT A DECENT AMOUNT OF RAIN LAST WEEK AND THAT PUT US IN A DECENT SPOT, THAT BRUSHES NOT MAGICALLY BACK TO DOING GREAT.

THERE IS STILL A LOT OF DRY AND DEAD VEGETATION OUT THERE AND THE WINDS WILL CONTINUE TO DRAW OUT THE MOISTURE THAT WE DID GET AND CAUSE US PROBLEMS.

>> Reporter: HERE JUST PEOPLE TO ALWAYS HAVE AN EVACUATION PLAN AND NOT HAVE OPEN FLAMES OR EQUIPMENT THAT COULD START A FIRE.

>> THESE DRY, WINDY DAYS ARE NOT THE DAYS TO BE DOING ANYTHING THAT COULD POTENTIALLY START A FIRE BECAUSE ONCE IT GETS UP AND GETS THAT MOMENTUM GOING, THE FIRE WITH THE SANTA ANNA WIND HAS THE POTENTIAL TO BE VERY DEVASTATING FOR YOUR COMMUNITY.

>> Reporter: HE SAYS ANOTHER SANTA ANA IS EXPECTED ON THANKSGIVING, MAKING FIRE CONDITIONS EVEN WORSE, WHAT IS A GOOD IDEA TO BE PREPARED AND BE EXTRA CAREFUL.

>>> THE BACK AND FORTH OVER TRUMP ERA POLICY THAT RESTRICTS ASYLUM AT THE BORDER CONTINUES.

THIS TIME A FEDERAL JUDGE HAS ORDERED THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION TO LIFT TITLE 42.

>> Reporter: THE RULING MADE TUESDAY BY U.S. DISTRICT COURT JUDGE EMMETT SULLIVAN STRUCK DOWN THE CONTROVERSIAL POLICY FIRST ENACTED BY THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION.

MELISSA CROW IS THE DIRECTOR OF ADMINISTRATION FOR THE REFUGEE STUDIES.

>> JUDGE SULLIVAN AGREED WITH THE PLAINTIFF THAT THIS POLICY IS A LEGAL AT ITS CORE, AND FOR THAT REASON, HE VACATED THE POLICY.

>> Reporter: WHEN THE POLICY WAS FIRST INSTITUTED AT THE START OF THE PANDEMIC, THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION FRAMED IT AS A WAY TO SLOW DOWN THE SPREAD OF COVID-19.

CROW AND OTHER CRITICS OF THE POLICY HAVE LONG QUESTIONED THE RATIONALE, SAYING IT WAS JUST ANOTHER WAY FOR TRUMP TO RESTRICT IMMIGRATION.

>> FOR A VERY LONG TIME, EVEN PUBLIC HEALTH EXPERTS AT CDC HAVE SAID THAT TITLE 42 WAS NOT NECESSARY TO ADDRESS THE COVERED PANDEMIC AND NOT ONLY WAS IT NOT NECESSARY, IT WAS NOT EFFECTIVE.

>> Reporter: WHILE TUESDAY'S RULING WAS SIGNIFICANT, IT DOES NOT AUTOMATICALLY ENTITLE 42.

>> JUDGE SULLIVAN GRANTED THE STAY THIS MORNING ALLOWING THE GOVERNMENT UNTIL DECEMBER 21st TO WIND DOWN THE POLICY AND RETURN TO NORMAL IMMIGRATION LAW.

>> Reporter: THAT WAS AARON MELNICK, POLICY DIRECTOR FOR THE AMERICAN IMMIGRATION COUNSEL.

HE SAYS THAT THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT COULD STILL APPEAL THE RULING OR AN ATTORNEY GENERAL FROM A CONSERVATIVE STATE COULD TRY TO BLOCK IT IN COURT.

>> AT THIS MOMENT, WE DO NOT KNOW WHETHER TITLE 42 WILL END ON DECEMBER 21st BUT THIS IS THE CLOSEST IT'S EVER BEEN.

>>> IT HAS BEEN MORE THAN ONE WEEK SINCE THE ELECTION WITH THE FATE OF TWO SAN DIEGO BALLOT MEASURES BECOMING A LITTLE CLEARER.

THE NEW NUMBERS HAVE JUST BEEN RELEASED BY THE REGISTRAR OF VOTERS.

>> WE ARE TALKING ABOUT MEASURES B AND C. B IS THE ONE THAT WOULD END SNOW FEE TRASH PICKUP FOR SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES.

AS YOU MAY KNOW, APARTMENT AND CONDO BUILDINGS PAY FOR THE SERVICE.

NOW LET'S GO AHEAD AND TAKE A LOOK AT THE NUMBERS THAT LITERALLY CAME IN JUST A FEW MOMENTS AGO.

MEASURE B HAS NOW PULLED INTO THE YES CATEGORY AS FAR AS THE MAJORITY GOES.

IT WAS KNOW FOR THE LONGEST TIME, SO THIS IS THE FIRST TIME WITH THIS LATEST RELEASE OF VOTES THAT IT HAS PULLED AHEAD, AND IF IT STAYS THERE, AND IT PROBABLY WILL BECAUSE THERE ARE VERY FEW VOTES LEFT, THAT MEANS SINGLE-FAMILY HOMEOWNERS WILL START TO HAVE TO PAY FOR TRASH.

MEASURE C IS STILL LEADING AND IT LOOKS LIKE THE YES PORTION PADDED WHAT IT ALREADY HAD.

IT IS ABOUT 9000 VOTES AHEAD, AND THAT OF COURSE IS THE ONE THAT WILL KEEP -- OR RATHER, GET RID OF THE 30 FOOT HEIGHT LIMIT IN THE MIDWAY DISTRICT.

EARLY THIS AFTERNOON, SAN DIEGO CITY COUNCIL PRESIDENT HELD A VIRTUAL NEWS CONFERENCE.

>> MEASURE C, THAT WAS PRETTY CLEAR AT THIS POINT WHY IT IS GOING TO PASS.

IT IS CLOSE, BUT IT'S FANTASTIC.

MEASURE B, IF THAT PASSES, WE WILL HAVE A PATH TO A FAIR, MORE RESPONSIBLE, MORE SUSTAINABLE TRASH SYSTEM IN SAN DIEGO AND IF MEASURE C PASSES IT WILL PAVE THE WAY TO CREATE HOMES IN SAN DIEGO, OVER ONE QUARTER OF WHICH WILL BE FOR FOLKS MAKING LOWER INCOME.

>> Reporter: HE SAYS IF MEASURE B WILL NOT MAKE IT THIS TIME, IT WILL PROBABLY BE REINTRODUCED IN 2024, BUT IT LOOKS LIKE IT MAY MAKE IT.

I REACHED OUT TO THE REGISTRAR OF VOTERS ABOUT WHETHER THERE ARE STILL MORE VOTES TO BE RELEASED.

THEY TOLD ME THEY ARE NEARLY FINISHED COUNTING, BUT THERE COULD BE ONE MORE UPDATE BEFORE DECEMBER 8th.

THAT IS THE DATE THEY MUST CERTIFY THE ELECTION.

>> THANKS SO MUCH, JOHN.

REPUBLICANS HAVE >> CONTROL OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.

AS OF TODAY, THEY REACHED THE SEATS NEEDED TO SECURE A SLIM MAJORITY.

IT MAY STILL BE DAYS OR WEEKS BEFORE WE KNOW THE FULL SITUATION.

>> WE HAVE NO INDICATION THAT THIS WAS THE RESULT OF A DELIBERATE ATTACK.

>> INITIAL ASSESSMENTS BY THE U.S. INDICATE THE RUSSIAN-MADE MISSILE LIKELY ORIGINATED IN UKRAINE.

THE U.S. OFFICIAL TOLD CNN THE UKRAINIAN MILITARY SAID IT ATTEMPTED TO INTERCEPT A RUSSIAN MISSILE NEAR THAT LOCATION OF THE SAME TIMEFRAME BUT IT IS UNCLEAR IF THAT MISSILE IS THE ONE THAT STRUCK POLAND.

THE POLISH PRESIDENT SAID THE BLAST WAS LIKELY AN ACCIDENT, THE NATO SECRETARY-GENERAL ADDING UKRAINE IS NOT AT FAULT.

>> RUSSIA BEARS ULTIMATE RESPONSIBILITY AS IT CONTINUES ITS ILLEGAL WAR AGAINST UKRAINE.

>> THE LONGER THIS WAR GOES ON, WE WILL CONTINUE TO BE EXPOSED TO RISKS LIKE THIS.

HE WILL BE SPEAKING TO A SOLD- OUT CROWD TO THE UNIVERSITY OF SAN DIEGO TONIGHT WHERE HE HAS MUCH TO SAY ABOUT WHAT IS HAPPENING IN UKRAINE.

>> Reporter: HE IS SPEAKING TONIGHT ABOUT DEMOCRACY AND THE RUSSIAN EFFORT TO KILL IT IN UKRAINE.

>> WE HAVE TO REMEMBER THAT PUTIN MADE A TERRIBLE MISTAKE.

HE MOBILIZED THE ENTIRE WORLD AGAINST HIM.

>> Reporter: HE FIRST MADE HEADLINES IN THE EARLY 1980s WHEN HE STARTED THE GRASSROOTS LABOR UNION, SOLIDARITY, AND HIS HOMELAND OF POLAND.

IN JUST A DECADE HE HELPED DEFEAT COMMUNISM AND BECAME THE FIRST DEMOCRATICALLY ELECTED PRESIDENT OF HIS COUNTRY.

HE WAS ONE OF THE WORLD LEADERS TO BRING DOWN THE IRON CURTAIN.

>> WHEN WE DESTROY THE SOVIET UNION, WHEN WE DESTROY THE COMMUNIST, WE LOST COMMON GROUND.

THE QUESTION TODAY IS CAN WE FIND SOMETHING THAT WE DO HAVE IN COMMON.

HE SUGGESTED THAT THE RUSSIAN PEOPLE NEED TO CONTINUE TO SUPPORT UKRAINE.

>> THEY ARE AFRAID SOMEBODY SIMILAR TO PUTIN WILL PUSH THE BUTTON.

BASICALLY IT WILL END ALL LIFE ON THIS PLANET.

>> Reporter: WITH DETERMINATION, HE WEARS PASSION ON HIS SLEEVE, ALWAYS PROMOTING DEMOCRACY AND HIS FIRM BELIEF IN THE YOUNGER GENERATION.

ARTEMIS ONE WAS LAUNCHED FROM THE KENNEDY CENTER IN FLORIDA LATE LAST NIGHT WITH NO ASTRONAUTS ON BOARD, PART OF A 25 1/2 DAY TEST MISSION AROUND THE MOON.

IT IS NOW OFFICIALLY THE MOST POWERFUL ROCKET TO EVER REACH THE ORBIT OF THE EARTH.

THE CAPSULE IS DUE TO BE BACK ON EARTH SEPTEMBER 11th, SPLASHING DOWN INTO THE PACIFIC OCEAN.

>>> WE HAVE SOME BREAKING ELECTION NEWS FOR YOU.

DEMOCRAT MIKE LEVIN HAS ONE ELECTION TO THE U.S. HOUSE IN THE 49th CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT.

THAT WAS THE CALL MADE BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS JUST MINUTES AFTER THE LATEST BALLOT COUNT FROM SAN DIEGO AND ORANGE COUNTIES.

PRESIDENT BIDEN CAME TO SAN DIEGO COUNTY TO CAMPAIGN FOR LEVEN AFTER POLLS SHOWED A TIGHT RACE WITH REPUBLICAN CHALLENGER BRIAN MARRIOTT.

>>> MUSEUM DIRECTORS HAVE TRIED TO ARRANGE THE BEST WAYS TO ILLUMINATE OBJECTS ON DISPLAY.

BUT NOW, THEY'RE GETTING SOME HELP FROM SCIENCE.

THIS STORY IS ABOUT AN EXPERIMENT THAT TRIES TO DETERMINE WHAT MUSEUM GOERS REALLY WANT TO SEE.

>> Reporter: A VIDEO TAKEN AT THE LOS ANGELES COUNTY MUSEUM OF ART SHOWS MUSEUM VISITORS AT A POTTERY AND CERAMICS EXHIBIT.

THE VIDEO IS ONE SMALL PIECE OF VISUAL DATA THE SALK INSTITUTE WILL EXAMINE TO FIND OUT HOW PEOPLE INTERACT WITH ART OBJECTS.

PROFESSOR TOM ALBRIGHT, A NEUROSCIENTIST, SAYS PEOPLE IN THE VIDEO ARE CONVERTED BY A COMPUTER TO STICK FIGURES TO ANALYZE THEIR MOVEMENT.

>> POINTING OR STANDING IN FRONT OF AN OBJECT FOR A CERTAIN PERIOD OF TIME OR TURNING IN TALKING TO A FRIEND.

WE CAN LOOK AT THE FREQUENCY OF ALL THOSE EVENTS, WHEN THEY OCCUR, WHAT IS THE PATH SOMEBODY TAKES WHEN THEY MOVED TO THE GALLERY.

>> Reporter: CAMERAS ARE INSTALLED AT THE TOPS OF WALLS TO CAPTURE THE MOVEMENT OF VISITORS.

THE EXPERIMENT, FUNDED BY THE NATIONAL SCIENCE FOUNDATION, HAS TWO GOALS, ONE IS FOCUSED ON CREATING A GOOD MUSEUM EXHIBIT.

>> HOW CAN WE OPTIMIZE THE PLACEMENT OF OBJECTS IN THE GALLERY TO FACILITATE LEARNING ON THE PART OF THE VISITORS?

>> Reporter: THEN THERE IS THE SCIENTIFIC PART.

>> THE SECOND GOAL IS TO UNDERSTAND HOW PEOPLE BEHAVE, HOW VISUAL INFORMATION AND MOTOR ACCESS TO THE SPACE AFFECTS THE CHOICES THEY MAKE.

>> Reporter: VICTORIA WEINER IS DIRECTOR OF EXHIBITION DESIGN AT LACHMAN.

SHE SAYS THE STUDY WILL PROVIDE MUSEUM DIRECTORS WITH THE KIND OF INFORMATION ABOUT VISITORS THEY HAVE NOT HAD BEFORE.

>> THIS STUDY WILL PROVIDE US WITH SOME REALLY GREAT DATA THAT WE CAN THEN USE TOWARD FUTURE DECISION-MAKING AND THEN -- WE KNOW THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS, BUT WE WANT TO DO SOMETHING ELSE ANYWAY, THEN AT LEAST WE KNOW WHAT WE ARE DOING.

>> OF COURSE, MUSEUM DIRECTORS AND CURATORS HAVE ALREADY SPENT A LOT OF TIME THINKING ABOUT THE BEST WAY TO DISPLAY ART AND HOW TO ARRANGE ART OBJECTS IN THE GALLERY.

>> AS WE MOVE AROUND, THE WORK REALLY CHANGES.

WHEN YOU'RE STANDING STRAIGHT ON, IT HAS ROUNDED CORNERS AND YET, AS YOU MOVE AROUND, YOU SEE THE SIDES HAVE SHARP EDGES.

>> IN LA JOLLA AT THE MUSEUM OF CONTEMPORARY ARTS, SAN DIEGO, THE MUSEUM CURATOR SHOWS ME AN EIGHT FOOT SCULPTURE MADE FROM RESIN, CALLED DIAMOND: BY DUANE VALENTINE.

THE COLUMN IS CLEARLY THE START OF THE EXHIBIT.

IT IS TRANSLUCENT AND CHANGES COLOR AS THE LIGHT FADES OR BRIGHTENS.

JUST PUTTING TWO WORKS OF ART IN THE SAME SPACE MAKES A STORY ABOUT THE WORKS YOU WANT TO TELL.

>> WE THINK ABOUT THE PACING OF ART OBJECTS, HOW MUCH SPACE GOES BETWEEN THEM TO CREATE A COMFORTABLE PACE, AND A CERTAIN CADENCE IN THE ROOM.

WE THINK ABOUT SIGHTLINES AND HOW WE ARE GOING TO STAGE AN ARTWORK TO PULL A VISITOR FORWARD INTO A ROOM.

>> AND SHE SAYS YOU HAVE GOT TO PUT A SCULPTURE IN A PLACE WHERE A VISITOR IS NOT GOING TO BACK INTO IT IS THEY'RE LOOKING AT A PAINTING ON THE WALL.

SHE SAID SHE LOOKS FORWARD TO SEEING THE FINDINGS OF THE STUDY.

>> I THINK IT WOULD BE FASCINATING TO SEE WHAT IS LEARNED BECAUSE IN MY EXPERIENCE, VISITORS NAVIGATE THE MUSEUM IN THEIR OWN IDIOSYNCRATIC WAYS, BUT IT WOULD BE HELPFUL TO KNOW THE PACE AT WHICH PEOPLE ARE MOVING THROUGH THE GALLERIES, AND HOW OFTEN ARTWORKS REALLY DO SERVE AS CONVERSATION PIECES.

>> Reporter: SCIENTISTS WILL MANIPULATE THE EXHIBIT AT THE L.A. MUSEUM OF ART TO SEE HOW THAT AFFECTS MUSEUM BEHAVIOR.

DESCRIPTIVE TEXT ALONG WITH ARTWORK WILL BE SHORTENED OR EXPANDED.

THE LOCATION OF ARTWORKS WILL BE MOVED AROUND.

THE EXHIBIT THEY ARE STUDYING IS CALLED CONVERSING IN CLAY, CERAMICS FROM THE LACHMAN COLLECTION.

IT WILL BE OPEN UNTIL MAY 23rd OF NEXT YEAR.
