THANK YOU.

>>> THANKS FOR JOINING US.

I'M JACOB AIRE IN FOR MAYA TRABULSI.

TODAY THE AMERICAN CIVIL LIBERTIES UNION FOUNDATION OF SAN DIEGO AND IMPERIAL COUNTIES ANNOUNCED A LAWSUIT OVER THE CITY'S USE OF FLOCK CAMERAS.

KPBS PUBLIC MATTERS REPORTER JAKE GOTTA HAS THE DETAILS.

>> Reporter: THE ACLU IS SUING THE CITY OF SAN DIEGO AND THE SAN DIEGO POLICE DEPARTMENT OVER THE USE OF AUTOMATED LICENSE PLATE READERS, OR ALPRs.

THEY SAY THE USE OF THESE CAMERAS VIOLATES THE CALIFORNIA CONSTITUTION'S RIGHT TO PRIVACY.

>> AT SAN DIEGO'S HALL OF JUSTICE ADVOCATES CALLED ON THE CITY TO CANCEL THEIR CONTRACT WITH FLOCK AND TAKE DOWN THE CAMERAS.

LEGAL DIRECTOR FREDERICK CARROLL SAID FLOCK CAMERAS HAVE BEEN ABUSED BY LAW ENFORCEMENT AND IMMIGRATION OFFICERS.

>> ACROSS THE NATION WOMEN SEEKING REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH, OUR FRIENDS IN THE LGBTQ PLUS COMMUNITY ATTENDING PRIDE PARADES, PROTESTERS THAT DON'T LIKE WHAT IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT IS DOING ACROSS THE COUNTRY, ALL OF THESE PEOPLE HAVE BEEN TARGETED, WE KNOW, BY THESE CAMERAS.

>> Reporter: FLOCK CAMERAS WERE A CONTROVERSIAL PART OF SAN DIEGO'S BUDGET DISCUSSIONS EARLIER THIS YEAR.

BUT THE CITY COUNCIL ULTIMATELY VOTED TO KEEP THAT CONTRACT.

AND LAST YEAR IN SAN DIEGO SDPD SAID THEY WOULD STOP SHARING FLOCK DATA WITH FEDERAL LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES.

ATTORNEY GENERAL ROB BONTA'S OFFICE TOLD THEM THIS WAS LIKELY VIOLATING STATE LAW.

THE ACLU IS SEEKING A COURT ORDER TO END WHAT THEY CALL UNCONSTITUTIONAL MASS SURVEILLANCE OF SAN DIEGO RESIDENTS.

FLOCK SAFETY AND MAYOR TODD GLORIA HAVE NOT RESPONDED TO OUR REQUEST FOR COMMENT.

THE SAN DIEGO POLICE DEPARTMENT SAID THEY CAN'T COMMENT ON PENDING LITIGATION.

JAKE GOTTA, KPBS NEWS.

>>> I'M ARIELLA SCALESE.

COMING UP TONIGHT UNDER A PARTLY CLOUDY SKY A HUMID 66 DEGREES AND GET READY, WE ARE SETTING YOU UP FOR A LONG DURATION HEAT WAVE.

SOME OF THE BIGGEST IMPACTS COAST AND INLAND VALLEYS.

WE'LL SHOW YOU JUST HOW HOT IT WILL BE.

THAT'S COMING UP.

>>> TONIGHT THE SAN DIEGO PADRES COULD ADVANCE IN THE PLAYOFFS TO THE NATIONAL LEAGUE DIVISION SERIES IF THEY BEAT THE CHICAGO CUBS.

THE FRIARS ROUTED THE CUBS 8-0 YESTERDAY IN THE WILD CARD OPENER.

KPBS REPORTER ALEXANDER NGUYEN IS LIVE AT PETCO PARK WHERE THE TEAMS ARE WARMING UP.

ALEX, I KNOW THERE IS SOME PRESSURE ON THE TEAM TODAY.

EARLIER THIS AFTERNOON THE PHILLIES BOUNCED BACK AGAINST THE BRAVES TO FORCE A DECISIVE GAME 3.

WHAT ARE THE PADRES SAYING?

>> Reporter: JACOB, YESTERDAY CERTAINLY WAS AN EXCITING NIGHT HERE IN SAN DIEGO.

YOU COULD FEEL THE ENERGY IN THE STADIUM.

FANS ARE COMING IN RIGHT NOW.

AND THE GAME STARTED STRONG WITH FERNANDO TATIS HITTING A HOMER FOLLOWED BY ANOTHER HOMER FOR MANNY MACHADO.

AS YOU CAN SEE, THE CROWD WENT WILD.

BUT GENERAL MANAGER CRAIG STAMMEN SAYS TODAY IS A BRAND NEW DAY.

>> LAST NIGHT AS GREAT AS THAT GAME WAS IT COUNTED AS ONE AND NOTHING MORE THAN ONE, AND WE NEED TWO.

SO TODAY IS A FRESH SLATE FOR BOTH TEAMS AND WE'VE GOT TO BRING IT.

>> Reporter: THE PADRES COULD WIN IT TONIGHT.

BUT THAT WOULD GIVE THEM AN EXTRA DAY'S REST BEFORE FACING THE MILWAUKEE BREWERS.

BUT CENTER FIELDER JACKSON MERRILL SAYS THE TEAM IS TAKING THINGS ONE DAY AT A TIME.

>> WE'RE ALL PLAYING FOR TONIGHT AND TRYING TO WIN THE GAME TODAY AND WORRY ABOUT TOMORROW WHEN IT COMES.

AND YOU KNOW, YOU CAN'T GET TOO FAR AHEAD OF YOURSELF AND START WORRYING ABOUT THINGS DOWN THE ROAD.

YOU JUST FOCUS ON TODAY.

LOOKING AT THE ABILITY TO REST LAST NIGHT FOR A LOT OF THE GUYS AND, YOU KNOW, COME IN TONIGHT WITH A FULL BOAT I THINK HAS PUT US IN A REALLY GOOD SPOT.

>> Reporter: AND BACK HERE LIVE AS YOU CAN SEE FANS ARE FILLING UP GALLAGHER SQUARE.

THEY ARE STILL COMING IN THE STADIUM.

THE ENERGY IS PALPABLE HERE.

AND IF THE ENERGY WAS ANYTHING LIKE LAST NIGHT IT WILL BE LOUD, IT WILL BE ROWDY, IT WILL BE ENERGETIC.

LIVE AT PETCO PARK, I'M ALEXANDER NGUYEN, KPBS NEWS.

BACK TO YOU, JACOB.

>> ALEX, THANKS FOR THAT REPORT.

>>> IT'S BEEN DISPUTED FOR YEARS, BUT WITH A STROKE OF THE GOVERNOR'S PEN THE LARGEST AFFORDABLE HOUSING DEVELOPMENT IN THE STATE CAN MOVE FORWARD.

KPBS REPORTER CARLY CASE SAYS SAN DIEGO'S MIDWAY RISING IS ONE STEP CLOSER TO BREAKING GROUND.

>> Reporter: GOVERNOR GAVIN NEWSOM SIGNED A BILL TUESDAY BY TWO SAN DIEGO COUNTY LAWMAKERS.

IT SAYS ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORTS FOR THE MIDWAY RISING DEVELOPMENT CAN BE RELIED ON FOR COMPLIANCE WITH CALIFORNIA'S ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT, OR CEQA.

DEVELOPERS SAY THAT MEANS ONCE THE CITY APPROVES THE REPORT THEY WILL FACE FEWER DELAYS.

>> IT PROVIDES CERTAINTY.

IT'S THE ABILITY FOR OUR PROJECT TO MOVE FORWARD WITH SHOVELS IN THE GROUND AT THE END OF NEXT CALENDAR YEAR IN 2027 SHOULD THE PROJECT BE APPROVED AT CITY COUNCIL THIS FALL.

>> Reporter: MIDWAY RISING IS A $3.9 BILLION PROJECT PROPOSED FOR THE SPORTS ARENA PROPERTY.

IT WILL ADD 2,000 NEW AFFORDABLE HOMES, A NEW ENTERTAINMENT CENTER AND ACRES OF OPEN SPACE.

JEFF MEYER IS A SPOKESPERSON FOR THE PROJECT.

>> AT THE END OF THE DAY IT'S ABOUT DELIVERING DESPERATELY NEEDED AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND A BRAND NEW ENTERTAINMENT VENUE THAT WILL BENEFIT NOT JUST THE CITY BUT THE ENTIRE RENAL.

SO WE'RE REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THAT.

>> Reporter: BUT NOT ALL ARE EXCITED.

JOHN McNABB WITH SAVE OUR ACCESS SAYS MOVING FORWARD WITH THE DEVELOPMENT MEANS COASTAL ACCESS WILL BECOME CONGESTED.

>> IT'S THE DEFINITION OF A GOVERNMENT THAT DOESN'T CARE ABOUT HUMAN NEED.

IT'S A MAJOR SOCIAL JUSTICE ISSUE.

BUT AGAIN, WHERE DO YOU GO?

YOU FIGHT.

>> Reporter: THE GROUP PREVIOUSLY SUED THE CITY OVER HEIGHT LIMITS FOR THE MIDWAY PROJECT.

McNABB SAYS THAT SAVE OUR ACCESS WILL ASSESS WAYS TO PUSH BACK AGAINST THE PROJECT.

THE CITY COUNCIL WILL VOTE ON THE PROJECT'S FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT THIS FALL.

CARLIE KAY, KPBS NEWS.

>>> CALIFORNIA GOVERNOR GAVIN NEWSOM SIGNED A SERIES OF NEW LAWS THIS WEEK TO PUSH BACK AGAINST THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION'S MASS DEPORTATION CAMPAIGN.

ONE OF THOSE LAWS TAKES AIM AT AN I.C.E.

DETENTION CENTER IN IMPERIAL COUNTY WHICH HAS BEEN RECEIVING A SPECIAL PROPERTY TAX BREAK MEANT FOR CHARITIES.

KPBS REPORTER KORI SUZUKI HAS BEEN COVERING THIS STORY FOR MONTHS AND HE JOINS ME NOW.

KORI, THANKS FOR BEING HERE.

WHAT CAN YOU TELL ME ABOUT THIS BILL?

>> Reporter: HEY, JACOB.

WELL, SENATE BILL 420 WAS INTRODUCED BY STATE SENATOR STEVE PADILLA, WHO REPRESENTS PARTS OF SAN DIEGO COUNTY AND IMPERIAL COUNTY.

AND PADILLA FOCUSED THIS BILL ON THIS I.C.E.

DETENTION CENTER IN THE IMPERIAL VALLEY.

EARLIER THIS YEAR A KPBS INVESTIGATION FOUND THAT THE DETENTION CENTER'S NON-PROFIT OWNER HAD BEEN ABLE TO APPLY FOR THIS EXEMPTION WHICH ALLOWED IT TO AVOID OVER THE COURSE OF A DECADE $6 MILLION IN PROPERTY TAXES.

AND SO THAT'S WHAT THIS BILL AIMS TO ADDRESS.

IT WAS INTRODUCED IN RESPONSE TO OUR STORY.

>> OKAY.

SO TELL ME MORE ABOUT THIS TAX EXEMPTION AGREEMENT.

WHAT EXACTLY DID YOUR INVESTIGATION FIND?

BECAUSE THIS WAS YOUR REPORTING THAT ULTIMATELY LED TO THIS UPDATE.

>> RIGHT.

WELL, THE DETENTION CENTER IS CALLED THE IMPERIAL REGIONAL DETENTION FACILITY.

IT SITS TO THE EAST OF CALEXICO.

AND LAST YEAR I GOT A TIP THAT WE SHOULD LOOK MORE CLOSELY AT THE OWNERSHIP STRUCTURE OF THIS DETENTION CENTER.

WE LEARNED THAT IT'S OWNED BY A LOCAL NON-PROFIT CALLED THE BRAWLEY COMMUNITY FOUNDATION WHICH IS BASED IN THE NORTHERN IMPERIAL VALLEY CITY OF BRAWLY.

AND THROUGH PUBLIC RECORDS REQUESTS I LEARNED THE FOUNDATION HAS BEEN APPLYING FOR THIS SPECIAL STATE TAX BREAK CALLED THE WELFARE EXEMPTION.

THIS IS TYPICALLY RESERVED FOR SEVERAL DIFFERENT CATEGORIES OF ORGANIZATIONS, MOST NOTABLY CHARITIES, ALSO SCIENTIFIC ORGANIZATIONS, HOSPITALS, AND HOUSES OF WORSHIP.

SO IT'S REALLY MEANT FOR A CERTAIN SPECIFIC SUBSET OF GROUPS.

AND THE FOUNDATION ARGUED THAT IT SHOULD QUALIFY AS A CHARITY BECAUSE IT WAS REDUCING THE STRAIN ON GOVERNMENT AGENCIES.

STATE AND LOCAL TAX OFFICIALS SORT OF BALKED AT THAT ARGUMENT INITIALLY BUT EVENTUALLY ACCEPTED IT, AND THE FOUNDATION HAS BEEN RECEIVING THAT TAX BREAK EVER SINCE.

>> SO WITH THE BILL NOW BEING SIGNED BY GOVERNOR GAVIN NEWSOM HOW DOES THIS ACTUALLY CHANGE THINGS?

>> THE NEW LAW SIGNED BY GOVERNOR GAVIN NEWSOM TUESDAY ESSENTIALLY REVOKES THAT TAX BREAK.

IT CHANGES THE TAX CODE TO CLARIFY THAT DETENTION CENTERS SHOULD NOT QUALIFY FOR THIS EXEMPTION.

AND THAT MEANS THAT OTHER PRIVATE PRISON CONTRACTORS ALSO INVOLVED IN I.C.E.

FACILITIES WON'T BE ABLE TO APPLY FOR THIS EXEMPTION IN THE FUTURE.

BUT THIS IS THE ONLY CASE OF THIS THAT WE KNOW OF RIGHT NOW THAT STATE TAX OFFICIALS KNOW OF HAPPENING IN CALIFORNIA.

>> AND YOU DO A LOT OF REPORTING IN BOTH SAN DIEGO, SOUTH BAY AND IMPERIAL COUNTY WHERE YOU REALLY DID THE BULK OF THIS REPORTING.

WHAT WAS THE REACTION IN IMPERIAL COUNTY TO THE SIGNING OF THE BILL BY GOVERNOR NUCE SNM.

>> WELL, I THINK WHEN WHEN OUR STORY CAME OUT, THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE IN IMPERIAL COUNTY WHO HAVE BEEN THINKING AND TRYING TO I THINK UNDERSTAND, HAVE HAD QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS OWNERSHIP STRUCTURE FOR A LONG TIME, ESPECIALLY IMMIGRANTS' RIGHTS ADVOCATES IN THE VALLEY.

AND THE NEWS THAT THIS BILL HAS BEEN MOVING FORWARD AND HAS BEEN PASSING THESE MILESTONES AS IT HEADED TO THE GOVERNOR'S DESK HAS REALLY BROUGHT A LOT OF -- A LOT OF RELIEF I THINK TO SOME OF THESE IMMIGRANTS TS RIGHTS ADVOCATES WHO FEEL THAT IT'S BRINGING CLARITY TO WHAT EXACTLY SHOULD QUALIFY AS A CHARITY, WHAT EXACTLY SHOULD BE RECEIVING THESE BENEFITS, WHAT KINDS OF ORGANIZATIONS.

SO -- AND THIS CLARITY IS SHARED, THE SENSE OF CLARITY IS SHARED BY STATE AND LOCAL TAX OFFICIALS AS WELL.

THE SAME TAX OFFICIALS WHO APPROVED THIS EXEMPTION IN THE FIRST PLACE BUT HAD ALSO HAD QUESTIONS ABOUT IT.

SO THERE'S A LOT OF DIFFERENT PLAYERS HERE WHO I THINK ARE REALLY WELCOMING THIS NEWS.

NOW, THE FOUNDATION, THE NON-PROFIT THAT OWNS THE DETENTION CENTER, INITIALLY PUSHED BACK STRONGLY AGAINST THE BILL AND HAS NOT SO FAR RESPONDED TO OUR REQUEST FOR COMMENT ABOUT GOVERNOR NEWSOM'S DECISION TO SIGN THE BILL.

>> WELL, THIS HAS BEEN EXTREMELY INSIGHTFUL.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR COMING ON DISCUSSING YOUR REPORTING AND GIVING US THE UPDATE WITH THE GOVERNMENT RESPONSE.

>> THANK YOU SO MUCH, JACOB.

>>> I'M GEOFF BENNETT.

TONIGHT ON THE "NEWSHOUR" ISRAELI OFFICIALS SAY A 9/11-STYLE ATTACK WAS THWARTED WHEN A PILOT TRIED TO INTENTIONALLY INTENTIONALLY CRASH A PLANE.

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

>>> IT'S A QUESTION MANY OF US ARE ASKING.

HOW SAFE IS ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE?

THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION IS HOPING TO EASE SOME OF THOSE ANXIETIES.

PRESIDENT TRUMP MET WITH SEVERAL TECH LEADERS TUESDAY TO DISCUSS WAYS TO IMPROVE AI SAFETY.

BUT SOME CRITICS ARGUE THE PLAN DOESN'T GO FAR ENOUGH.

JEN SULLIVAN LOOKS AT WHAT THESE CHANGES MEAN FOR EVERYDAY AMERICANS.

>> Reporter: PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP, MEETING WITH SEVERAL TECH TITANS TUESDAY AT THE WHITE HOUSE TO DISCUSS SAFETY CONCERNS ABOUT ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE.

TRUMP POSTED A DOCUMENT SIGNED BY HIM AND SIX TECH CEOs PLEDGING TO IMPLEMENT INTERNAL CONTROLS WITHIN THEIR COMPANIES, EMPOWER AN INTERNAL TEAM TO MONITOR MODELS, PARTNER WITH INDEPENDENT EVALUATORS AND DESIGNATE AN INDEPENDENT COMMITTEE TO OVERSEE AND RECEIVE REPORTS ON ISSUES.

THE PRESIDENT DESCRIBED THE COMMITMENT AS, QUOTE, MORALLY BINDING.

>> IT REALLY IS A FORM OF PROTECTION.

>> Reporter: THIS PLEDGE COMES FOLLOWING REPORTED INSTANCES OF AI MODELS GOING ROGUE AND ACTING WITHOUT HUMAN AUTHORIZATION.

THIS PLEDGE ESSENTIALLY MEANS THE TECH COMPANIES WILL SELF-POLICE WHEN IT COMES TO AI SAFETY CONCERNS.

>> IT IS THE INDUSTRY COMPLETELY SELF-REGULATING.

THEY'RE CHOOSING WHO'S GOING TO OVERSEE THEM.

THEY'RE GOING TO SET THE TERMS FOR HOW THAT IS DONE.

>> Reporter: ALOG META IS THE DIRECTOR OF WADWANI AI CENTER.

HE SAYS TECH EXPERTS ARE INVOLVED IN OVERSEEING THINGS LIKE AVIATION AND TRANSPORTATION BUT THOSE INDUSTRIES ARE STILL REGULATED BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.

THERE'S CURRENTLY NO FEDERAL OVERSIGHT FOR AI.

>> THEY NEED TO HAVE A POLICY POSITION THAT TALKS ABOUT UPSCALING IN THE AGE OF AI, WHAT THE JOB TRANSITION IS.

>> Reporter: SO WHAT PRECAUTIONS SHOULD PEOPLE TAKE TO SECURE OUR OWN SAFETY WHEN USING AI TOOLS?

>> BEING CAREFUL HOW WE SHARE PERSONAL INFORMATION LIKE BIRTHDAYS, ANNIVERSARIES, PETS' NAMES.

>> Reporter: CYBERSECURITY SPECIALIST HOWARD GLOBEUS WARNS THE MORE INFORMATION WE PUT INTO AN AI TOOL THE MORE VULNERABLE WE ARE TO THAT INFORMATION BEING COMPROMISED.

HE ALSO SAYS MORE PEOPLE SHOULD ACTUALLY READ THE FULL TERMS OF SERVICES OF ANY AI PRODUCT BEFORE USING IT.

FOR CONSUMER WATCH I'M JEN SULLIVAN.

>>> EARLIER TODAY GOVERNOR GAVIN NEWSOM SIGNED AB-2222 INTO LAW.

NEWSOM SAYS THE BILL LOOKS TO STRENGTHEN LOCAL JOURNALISM AND DEFEND FREE PRESS AS A, QUOTE, CORNERSTONE OF DEMOCRACY.

HERE'S GOVERNOR NEWSOM WITH A FEW REASONS ON WHY HE FEELS THE BILL IS NEEDED.

>> THE LAWSUITS, THE BANNING OF MEDIA, WHAT'S HAPPENED, DEFUNDING OF PUBLIC BROADCASTING, WHAT'S NOT HAPPENING AT THE FCC.

>> THE BILL OFFERS A $20,000 REFUNDABLE EMPLOYMENT TAX CREDIT FOR EACH OF THE FIRST FIVE FULL-TIME JOURNALISTS A NEWSROOM HIRES.

IT ALSO OFFERS 15,000 FOR FULL-TIME HIRES.

AFTER THOSE FIRST FIVE.

AND 7,500 FOR PART-TIME HIRES.

NEWSOM ALSO LISTS THE MORE THAN $6 BILLION MERGER BETWEEN NEXT TARR AND TEGNA WHICH EXCEEDS A CAP SET BACK IN CONGRESS IN 2004 AS A REASON HE FEELS THE BILL IS NEEDED.

>>> A MUMPS OUTBREAK AT SAN DIEGO STATE IS GROWING, AND IT'S HAPPENING AMONG VACCINATED STUDENTS.

KPBS HEALTH REPORTER HEIDI DE MARCO EXPLAINS WHAT DOCTORS SAY MAY BE BEHIND THE OUTBREAK.

>> Reporter: IT STARTED WITH FIVE CASES TWO WEEKS AGO.

NOW THE OUTBREAK HAS GROWN TO 14 CONFIRMED CASES AND ONE PROBABLE.

SDSU HAS NOT PUBLICLY IDENTIFIED THE ATHLETIC TEAM INVOLVED, BUT THE SAN DIEGO UNION TRIBUNE REPORTS IT IS THE FOOTBALL TEAM.

COUNTY PUBLIC HEALTH OFFICIALS SAY ALL 14 PEOPLE HAD RECEIVED TWO DOSES OF THE MMR VACCINE.

SO HOW DOES MUMPS BREAK THROUGH IN A GROUP THAT WAS VACCINATED?

>> FOR EXAMPLE, IF YOU LOOK AT PEOPLE WHO'VE GOTTEN THE VACCINE IN THE LAST TWO YEARS COMPARED TO PEOPLE WHO GOT THE VACCINE 20 YEARS AGO, THEIR RATES OF GETTING MUMPS IS ABOUT TENFOLD LESS.

>> Reporter: DR.

GEORGE SAKOULAS IS AN INFECTIOUS DISEASE SPECIALIST WITH SHARP MEMORIAL HOSPITAL.

HE SAYS TWO DOSES OF THE MMR VACCINE ARE STILL HIGHLY EFFECTIVE.

>> SO THERE'S DEFINITELY A COMPONENT OF WANING IMMUNITY THAT YOU TRY TO GET THROUGH BY KIND OF PROVIDING A LITTLE BIT OF A BOOSTER IN THAT LOCAL ENVIRONMENT WHERE THAT OUTBREAK IS HAPPENING IN PLACE AND TIME.

>> Reporter: HE SAYS MUMPS SPREADS THROUGH RESPIRATORY DROPLETS, MAKING THOSE FREQUENT CLOSE INTERACTIONS ON A SPORTS TEAM AN OPPORTUNITY FOR TRANSMISSION.

>> YOU KNOW, THE CLOSE CONTACT OF THESE TEAMS, THEY TRAVEL TOGETHER, THEY GET IN BUSES TOGETHER, THEY'RE IN LOCKER ROOMS, THEY PROBABLY HANG OUT TOGETHER AFTER PRACTICE.

>> Reporter: THEN THERE'S THE LONG INCUBATION PERIOD AND THE FACT PEOPLE SPREAD THE VIRUS BEFORE THEY KNOW THEY'RE SICK.

>> A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T EVEN KNOW THEY HAVE MUMPS.

FOR THE FIRST TWO OR THREE DAYS THEY FEEL LIKE OH, I'VE GOT A HEADACHE AND A LITTLE BIT OF A FEVER, I MAY HAVE THE FLU, I MAY HAVE SOMETHING ELSE, I'LL PLOW THROUGH IT.

IT'S NOT TILL A COUPLE OF DAYS LATER WHERE YOUR SALIVARY GLANDS SWELL UP.

AND BY THAT POINT YOU'VE PROBABLY BEEN SHEDDING VIRUS FOR THREE, FIVE, SEVEN DAYS.

>> Reporter: FOR MALE ATHLETES THERE'S ANOTHER COMPLICATION TO WATCH FOR.

>> ABOUT A QUARTER TO A THIRD OF MALE POST-PUBERTY WHO GET MONTHS CAN GET A VERY, VERY PAINFUL ARCITIS WHICH IS A TESTICULAR PAIN.

>> Reporter: COUNTY PUBLIC HEALTH SAYS THERE ARE NO CONFIRMED OR PROBABLE CASES OUTSIDE THOSE ASSOCIATED WITH SDSU AT THIS TIME.

THE UNIVERSITY IS OFFERING A FREE MMR BOOSTER CLINIC ON CAMPUS TOMORROW FROM 10:00 A.M.

TO 2:00 P.M.

IT WILL ALSO CONTINUE SCREENING, TESTING AND CONTACT TRACING THE AFFECTED STUDENTS.

SAKOULAS SAYS ANYONE WHO DEVELOPS SYMPTOMS SHOULD CALL A DOCTOR BEFORE GOING INTO A CLINIC TO AVOID EXPOSING OTHERS.

HEIDI DE MARCO, KPBS NEWS.

>>> THE SDSU FOOTBALL TEAM'S FIRST HOME GAME OF THE SEASON IS ON SATURDAY.

>>> MEANWHILE, A 100-YARD CANVASS HONORING NATIVE CHILDREN WHO WERE FORCIBLY PLACED IN BOARDING SCHOOLS WAS DISPLAYED ON SAN DIEGO STATE'S UNIVERSITY CAMPUS TODAY.

THE ART INSTALLATION FEATURED THOUSANDS OF SMALL FOOTPRINT STAMPS TO COMMEMORATE NATIONAL DAY OF REMEMBRANCE FOR INDIAN BOARDING SCHOOL SURVIVORS.

FROM THE EARLY 1800s THROUGH THE LATE 20th CENTURY THE U.S.

GOVERNMENT AND RELIGIOUS ORGANIZATIONS OPERATED MORE THAN 400 INDIAN BOARDING SCHOOLS ACROSS THE COUNTRY.

>> THE BOARDING SCHOOL SYSTEM WAS AND IS SOMETHING THAT STILL IMPACTS NATIVE PEOPLE TODAY.

MANY PEOPLE HAVE MAYBE EVEN ONE GENERATION AWAY FROM SOMEBODY WHO'S ATTENDED A BOARDING SCHOOL.

WHETHER THAT WAS VOLUNTARILY OR BY FORCE.

>> NATIVE CHILDREN WERE FORCIBLY REMOVED FROM THEIR HOMES AND PLACED IN THE INSTITUTIONS OFTEN HUNDREDS OF MILES FROM THEIR COMMUNITIES.

MANY OF THE STUDENTS ENDURED ABUSE AND HUNDREDS DIED.

THE GOAL OF THE SCHOOLS WAS TO ASSIMILATE NATIVE CHILDREN INTO WESTERN CULTURE.

THE DAY OF REMEMBRANCE IS ALSO KNOWN AS ORANGE SHIRT DAY.

THIS IS THE FIFTH ANNUAL EVENT ACROSS THE U.S.

THE DAY OF MEMORIAL STARTED OVER A DECADE AGO IN CANADA.

>>> WELL, WHO CARES WHAT THE CALENDAR'S GOING TO SAY, RIGHT?

AS WE HEAD INTO OCTOBER GET READY FOR A LONG DURATION HEAT WAVE.

THAT IS NOT WHAT YOU WANT TO SEE, RIGHT?

HEAT WAVE BY ITSELF IS NOT GREAT.

YOU ADD LONG DURATION IN FRONT OF IT, IT IS GOING TO BE A VERY HOT STRETCH THROUGH OUR FIRST WEEK OF OCTOBER.

THE PEAK OF THE HEAT REALLY SATURDAY, SUNDAY THROUGH EARLY INTO THE WEEK.

AND IT'S GOING TO BE THE COAST AND THE INLAND VALLEYS WHO FEEL THE HEAT, THE TEMPERATURES ARE GOING TO BE MOST ABOVE OUR HISTORICAL AVERAGES.

THE MOUNTAIN LOCATIONS AND DESERTS, IT'LL STILL BE QUITE WARM BUT IT'S REALLY GOING TO BE THE COAST AND THE VALLEYS THAT FEEL IT THE MOST.

ALL RIGHT.

BORREGO SPRINGS 63 TONIGHT.

MOUNT LAGUNA 54.

EL CAJON 60.

OCEANSIDE 60.

AND 64 CHULA VISTA.

TOMORROW IS STILL PRETTY DECENT.

WE'RE CERTAINLY FEELING THE WARMTH AND A LITTLE BIT OF THE HUMIDITY INCREASE.

BUT IT'S REALLY GOING TO BE THROUGH THE WEEKEND THAT YOU SEE THOSE TEMPERATURES SKYROCKET.

SO LET'S TALK ABOUT HIGH TEMPERATURES ON THURSDAY WITH PLENTY OF SUNSHINE.

ESCONDIDO 90.

80 FOR SAN DIEGO.

AGAIN, BORREGO SPRINGS AND MOUNT LAGUNA WILL START TO SEE TEMPERATURES WARM BUT CLOSER TO THE HISTORICAL AVERAGE.

LOOK AT THIS.

THE BEET RED ON FRIDAY, VERY WARM.

WE STAY DRY.

AND THE HEAT CONTINUES TO INTENSIFY.

AND THAT'S THE REASON NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HAS PLACED OUR AREA UNDER AN EXTREME HEAT WATCH STARTING FRIDAY MORNING CONTINUING THROUGH WEDNESDAY EVENING.

TAKE A LOOK AT THE COAST.

OH, MY GOODNESS.

90 ON FRIDAY, 98 ON SATURDAY, AND WE STAY VERY HOT INTO THE END OF THE WEEKEND AND EARLY NEXT WEEK.

INLAND VALLEYS IT'S GOING TO BE A SCORCHER HERE.

TRIPLE-DIGIT HEAT AT LEAST THREE DAYS IN A ROW AND NOT MUCH RELIEF BY MONDAY.

MOUNTAINS NOT SO BAD.

CERTAINLY WE'LL BE WARMER THAN THE HISTORICAL AVERAGE BY MONDAY AT 84 DEGREES, AND THE DESERT LOCATIONS WILL SEE THE 90s AND TRIPLE DIGITS.

BUT NOT AS BAD AS WE'RE GOING TO BE GETTING FOR THE COAST AND THOSE INLAND VALLEYS.

STAY COOL AND STAY HYDRATED.

FOR KPBS NEWS I'M ARIELLA SCALESE.

>>> GRAY WOLVES ARE STEADILY MAKING A NATURAL COMEBACK IN CALIFORNIA AFTER HUMANS PUSHED THEM NEAR EXTINCTION BY THE 1920s.

BUT TODAY THEY FACE AN UPHILL BATTLE AGAINST GROWING DEVELOPMENT, WARMING PLANET AND UNCERTAIN FEDERAL PROTECTIONS.

KPBS ENVIRONMENT REPORTER TAMMY MURGA SAYS THE CALIFORNIA WOLF CENTER IN JULIAN IS EXPANDING ITS CONSERVATION EFFORTS.

>> Reporter: THIS IS AN IMPORTANT DAY FOR THE CALIFORNIA WOLF CENTER IN JULIAN.

ITS 8-YEAR-OLD MEXICAN GRAY WOLF DURANGO IS ABOUT TO MEET A POTENTIAL MATE.

>> I THINK HE'S A PRETTY HANDSOME GUY.

HE ENDS UP ON A LOT OF OUR MERCHANDISE.

>> Reporter: JACOB KEATON WORKS AT THE CONSERVATION CENTER.

>> BROWN, BLACK, RUST, TAN COLOR COAT.

>> Reporter: THE CENTER HOPES DURANGO AND THE FEEL WOLF HIT IT OFF AND HAVE CUBS.

THEIR BABIES WOULD BE RELEASED IN ARIZONA OR NEW MEXICO SO WILD PARENT CAN RAISE THEM.

THE ORGANIZATION'S BREEDING PROGRAM AND FEDERAL PROTECTIONS HAVE HELPED INCREASE THE WILD MEXICAN GRAY WOLF POPULATION TO 317 IN THE SOUTHWESTERN U.S.

>> WITHOUT HUMANS BREEDING THOSE WOLVES TO CREATE DIVERSE INDIVIDUALS THE LACK OF GENETIC DIVERSITY WILL BE THE GREATEST THREAT TO THAT SUBSPECIES OF GRAY WOLF.

>> Reporter: ARE MEXICAN GRAY WOLVES AREN'T NATURAL PREDATORS IN SAN DIEGO COUNTY.

BUT THE NON-PROFIT'S WORK IS AT THE CENTER OF NATIONWIDE CONSERVATION EFFORTS.

>> IN 2011 THAT'S WHEN THE FIRST KNOWN WOLF CAME BACK INTO CALIFORNIA IN ALMOST 100 YEARS, RIGHT?

SINCE I THINK THE '20s, 1920s IS WHEN THE LAST KNOWN WOLF WAS KILLED IN CALIFORNIA.

>> Reporter: KEETON SAYS THE WOLVES' RETURN TO NORTHERN CALIFORNIA PROVES WHY LONG-TERM CONSERVATION IS VITAL.

BUT NOT EVERYBODY AGREES.

>> IT'S REALLY CO-EXISTENCE.

IN ORDER TO FIND THAT, IT'S ONE OF THE DIFFICULT THINGS IN THE UNITED STATES TODAY.

HOW CAN WE TALK TO SOMEBODY THAT MAYBE IS -- THAT DOESN'T BELIEVE THINGS THAT WE BELIEVE OR IS -- HAS DIFFERENT LIFE EXPERIENCES THAN WE HAVE.

>> Reporter: RANCHERS SAY THE POPULATION GROWTH HAS LED TO MORE ATTACKS ON THEIR LIVESTOCK.

PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP RESPONDED TO THEIR CONCERNS THIS MONTH WITH AN EXECUTIVE ORDER TO EXAMINE REMOVING THE WOLVES FROM THE ENDANGERED SPECIES ACT.

>> TO PROTECT RURAL COMMUNITIES AND CATTLE HERDS FROM PREDATORY MEXICAN GRAY WOLVES, WHICH ARE COSTING THEM TENS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS AND ENDANGERING NOT ONLY HERDS BUT PEOPLE.

>> Reporter: NORTHERN CALIFORNIA WOLVES WANDERED IN FROM NEIGHBORING STATES IN SEARCH OF MATES AND RESOURCES.

KEETON SAYS WOLVES DON'T RECOGNIZE STATE BOUNDARIES.

HE SAYS PROTECTIONS FOR GRAY WOLVES IN CALIFORNIA REMAIN FIRMLY IN PLACE.

>> HAVING DIFFERENT POLICIES THAT DO STOP AND START AT DIFFERENT STATE BOUNDARIES, IT'S NOT IDEAL.

RIGHT?

WE WOULD WANT -- THE BEST THING FOR WOLVES IS TO HAVE A -- A BLANKET FEDERAL PROTECTIONS THAT KIND OF GO FROM STATE TO STATE AND ALLOW FOR THEIR RECOVERY.

>> Reporter: NO MATTER WHAT THE GOVERNMENT DECIDES, KEETON SAYS THE WOLF CENTER WILL CONTINUE FOSTERING CO-EXISTENCE BETWEEN PEOPLE AND NATIVE PREDATORS.

AND IT'S EXPANDING.

IT BOUGHT LAND LESS THAN A MILE FROM ITS ORIGINAL SITE TO GROW ITS CARE FOR WOLVES.

>> FULL OF MATURE OAKS AND LOTS OF EXCITING NATIVE PLANTS.

>> Reporter: OTHER THAN A LARGE BARN AT THE ENTRANCE THE 28-ACRE SITE IS UNDEVELOPED.

MATT ANDERSON IS ALSO WITH THE WOLF CENTER.

HE SAYS THERE WON'T BE MUCH CONSTRUCTION, THE PROPERTY IS PRETTY PERFECT AS IS.

>> WILD TURKEYS AND DEER ARE HERE ALREADY.

WOLVES ARE GOING TO BE HERE SOON.

>> Reporter: THE IDEA IS TO GIVE WOLVES MORE SPACE TO ROAM AND SHOW THE IMPACT OF THEIR NATURAL ROLE ON ECOSYSTEMS.

>> WE'RE REALLY FOCUSING ON THAT CO-EXISTENCE AND WHAT THAT MEANS WITH THE WOLVES PLAYING A MAJOR ROLE AS A CALIFORNIA NATIVE PREDATOR WITHIN A FOOD CHAIN SITUATION WHERE THEY CONTROL HERBIVEOROUS SPECIES AND IN TURN HAVE CONTROL OVER THE BIODIVERSITY OF PLANTS AND TREES.

>> Reporter: PLANS INCLUDE TURNING THE BARN INTO A VISITOR AND EDUCATION HUB, BUILDING MEDICAL FACILITIES FOR THE WOLVES, AND DESIGNING SOME AREAS FOR THE PUBLIC TO GET A CLOSER LOOK.

ANDERSON SAYS THE SITE WILL ALSO HAVE A NETWORK OF CAMERAS FOR REMOTE MONITORING.

>> DON'T WANT TOO MUCH HUMAN CONTACT.

SO THEIR BEHAVIORS REMAIN NATURALISTIC FOR THE FUTURE OF REINTRODUCTION.

>> Reporter: HE SAYS THAT FOOTAGE WILL BE PUT TO GOOD USE.

>> THAT DATA THAT'S ACCRUED WILL BE USEFUL FOR EVERYTHING FROM PEOPLE WHO STUDY CLIMATE CHANGE, BIODIVERSITY, ALL THE WAY THROUGH TO INDIVIDUAL RESEARCH PROJECTS FOR UP TO Ph.D.

LEVEL.

>> Reporter: ANDERSON SAYS THE NON-PROFIT IS RAISING $3 MILLION TO COMPLETE THE PROJECT.

HE SAYS IN THE FUTURE THE ORGANIZATION WOULD ADD OTHER NATIVE PREDATORS TO SHOW WHY EQUITY PRING THEM MEANS PROTECTING ENTIRE ECOSYSTEMS.

>> RABBITS, RODENTS, ET CETERA, WHO THEN IN TURN WOULD GENERALLY BE EATING THE HABITAT THAT WE SEE OUT HERE.

THE CALIFORNIA NATIVE PREDATORS, WOLVES, MOUNTAIN LIONS, COYOTES, ET CETERA, EFFECTIVELY CONTROL THOSE POPULATIONS SO THEY DON'T EAT US OUT OF HOUSE AND HOME IN TERMS OF THE HABITAT.

SO THE BIODIVERSITY WE SEE HERE IS AN INTRINSIC PART OF THE ECOSYSTEM.

>> Reporter: AND THAT ECOSYSTEM HE SAYS IS RELIANT UPON PREDATORS LIKE WOLVES.

TAMMY MURGA, KPBS NEWS.
