THANK YOU.

>>> FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER NASCAR IS IN SAN DIEGO.

THANK YOU FOR JOINING US I'M MAYA TRABULSI.

WE HAVE THE FIRST OF THREE DAYS OF THUNDER.

>> Reporter: NAVAL AIR STATION NORTH ISLAND THE FIRST DAY OF RACING IS JUST FOR MILITARY FAMILIES.

>> YES.

IT IS PRETTY COOL EXPERIENCE.

IT IS LIKE ONCE-IN-A-LIFETIME.

>> Reporter: SHE WORKS ON HELICOPTERS AT THE BASE.

>> THIS IS SOUR HANGAR RIGHT HERE.

OUR AIRCRAFT IS RIGHT THERE.

>> Reporter: TICKETS FOR CRAFTSMAN TRUCK SERIES WAS LIMITED TO THE MILITARY AND THE NAVY SAYS THEY SOLD OUT.

THE SERIES ON SATURDAY AND CUP SERIES ON SUNDAY ARE ALSO SOLD OUT.

THE BASE HAS BEEN COMPLETELY TRANSFORMED.

3-1/2 MILE RACETRACK.

SHE HAS NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT >> IT IS CRAZY.

EVERY DAY WE WALK ON BASE, DRIVE ON BASE AND EVERYTHING WAS COMPLETE IN A COUPLE OF WEEKS, CRAZY.

>> Reporter: THE LIEUTENANT COMMANDER IN THE NAVY RESERVE IS DRIVING ON SATURDAY.

BEFORE THAT, HE WILL BE PROMOTED TO COMMANDER.

HIS SAILORS USUALLY PLAY IT COOL WHETHER THEY FIND OUT HE IS A NASCAR DRIVER.

>> A LOT OF TIMES THEY DON'T ASK ME ABOUT RACING STUFF.

A LOT OF TIMES THEY ARE NERVOUS TO ASK ME.

MAYBE THEY ARE JUST SHY OR SOMETHING.

BUT, EVERY ONCE IN AWHILE WE WILL GET INTO NASCAR DISCUSSIONS.

A LOT OF THEM, THEY ARE THERE TO SERVE, RIGHT?

>> Reporter: CALTRANS IS RECOMMENDING PATIENCE DRIVING INTO CORONADO SATURDAY OR SUNDAY MORNING AND RECONSIDER THE TRIP IF YOU ARE NOT GOING TO THE RACES.

KPBS NEWS.

>> TEMPERATURES, ONCE AGAIN, DOWN INTO THE LOWER TO MIDDLE 60s OVERNIGHT.

A LOT OF CLOUDS AND THAT MARINE LAYER WE ARE SEEING IT DEEPEN HEADING INTO THE WEEKEND.

SO, MORE OF OUR INLAND AREAS.

WE ARE GLAD TO SEE THE MORNING LOW CLOUDS AND FOG.

IT DOES NOT LAST.

THE FORECAST, IT HAS BEEN ALL ABOUT THE CHANGES RECENTLY AND IT CONTINUES TO DO SO.

MAYBE NOT MAJOR CHANGES.

I WILL BREAK DOWN THE WEEKEND AHEAD AND A PEEK AT NEXT WEEK, COMING UP.

>>> METEOROLOGIST HAVE SECURED A NEW SERIOUS FIRE AGREEMENT.

PART OF AN EFFORT TO SAVE A PEACE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE U.S.

AND IRAN.

TALKS WERE SUPPOSED TO BEGIN IN SWITZERLAND WITH THE VICE PRESIDENT LEADING THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION DELEGATION.

THEY HAVE BEEN POSTPONED.

WE HAVE MORE FROM JERUSALEM ON WHAT LED UP TO THAT RENEWED CEASEFIRE.

>> Reporter: A CEASEFIRE IN PLACE IN LEBANON AS SOURCES TELL ISRAEL THAT THEY HAVE AGREED TO A RENEWAL OF THE CEASEFIRE AFTER AN INTENSE MORNING OF FIGHTING FROM FRIDAY MIDNIGHT INTO THE HOURS OF THE MORNING.

SHORTLY AFTER MIDNIGHT, THE ISRAELI MILITARY SAYS A EXPLOSIVE DEVICE, DRONE OR ANTI- TANK MISSILE STRUCK A TANK IN LEBANON AND KILLED FOUR SOLDERS, ISRAEL CARRIED OUT A WAVE OF STRIKES BETWEEN THE VALLEY, KILLING AT LEAST 47 PEOPLE INCLUDING WOMEN AND CHILDREN ACCORDING TO LEBANON'S MINISTRY OF PUBLIC HEALTH.

THAT IS WHERE MEDIATORS STEPPED IN.

THE U.S.

CUT THROUGH PAKISTAN TO RENEW THAT.

IRAN MADE IT CLEAR THAT IT WOULD NOT PARTICIPATE IN THE NEGOTIATIONS TOWARDS THE SEIZE FIRE UNDER THE NEW MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTAND FIGURE THERE WAS NOT HOSTILITIES IN LEBANON.

THEY USED THE PRESSURE ON THE NEGOTIATIONS TO GET THE U.S.

AND TO GET PRESIDENT TRUMP TO PUT A SEIZE FIRE BACK IN PLACE IN LEBANON.

IT WAS THE AMBASSADOR TO THE U.S.

WHO ACKNOWLEDGED THAT CEASEFIRE AND SAID ISRAEL WAS FIRMLY COMMITTED TO AN IMMEDIATE SEIZE FIRE.

EFFECTIVELY, MIRRORING THE STATEMENT EARLIER IN THE DAY WE WILL ABIDE BY THE CEASEFIRE IF THE OTHER SIDE DOES.

THE PROBLEM IS WE HAVE SEEN CEASEFIRES BEFORE OVER THE PAST MONTHS OR YEARS THAT ARE SUPPOSED TO TAKE PLACE BETWEEN ISRAEL AND HEZBOLAH YET THEY FALLEN APART IN DAYS.

NOW IT HAS BIGGER CONSEQUENCES.

THE WINDOW HAS TAKEN DOWN 60 DAYS UNTIL THEY NEED TO BE EXTENDED OR REACH A CONCLUSION OR FALL APART.

IN ADDITION THE COMPLEX CEASEFIRE ALONG THE LEBANON BORDER THERE ARE THE U.S./IRAN NEGOTIATIONS AS WELL.

CNN IN JERUSALEM.

>> MARTINEZ, THE VIDEOOGRAPHERS, THOSE GUYS HAVE BEEN WORKING FOR YEARS AND FINALLY SOMEBODY IS GOING TO RECOGNIZE THEIR WORK.

>> Reporter: THAT IS JOE.

THAT IS A LIST OF SOME OF HIS FAVORITE TIJANA PHOTOJOURNALISTS.

ALSO AWARDED A MEDAL OF RECOGNITION FOR HIS CONTRIBUTION TO PHOTOJOURNALISM IN TIJUANA.

ARMON IS THE PRESIDENT OF THE ASSOCIATION.

HE SAYS PHOTOJOURNALISTS FACE UNIQUE DANGERS IN TIJUANA.

[ SPEAKING IN A NON-ENGLISH LANGUAGE ] >> Reporter: IF YOUR PICTURES ARE NOT GOOD ENOUGH YOU ARE NOT CLOSE ENOUGH AS THE SAYING GOES.

>>> MIDWAY RISING IS A PLAN TO REDEVELOP SAN DIEGO SPORTS ARENA TURNING INTO A MULTIUSE RESIDENTIAL ENTERTAINMENT PROPERTY T. HAS HIT MULTIPLE OBSTACLES AND NOW IT IS DELAYED INDEFINITELY.

WE EXPLAIN IN THE LATEST EDITION OF "WHY IT MATTERS."

♪.

>> Reporter: THE MAYOR TAUTED THE MIDWAY RISING PROJECT.

4200 HOMES, 14 ACRES OF PARKS AND NEW ARENA THAT IT WILL DELIVER.

HE MADE A PLEDGE IN JANUARY.

>> PUBLIC LAND SHOULD SERVE THE PUBLIC AND RIGHT NOW SERVING THE PUBLIC MEANS BUILDING MORE HOMES.

SO, THIS SPRING I WILL BRING THIS PROJECT FORWARD FOR PUBLIC HEARINGS AND A VOTE FROM THE CITY COUNCIL.

>> Reporter: BUT SPRING IS NOW OVER AND IT DOES NOT LOOK LIKE HEARINGS WILL EVEN HAPPEN BEFORE THE END OF SUMMER.

WHAT HAPPENED?

WELL, THE CITY CAN'T GET THE DEAL DONE.

THERE ARE THREE MAIN ISSUES THAT I HAVE TO RESOLVE.

THE LEASE.

THIS IS 40 ACRES OF CITY LAND.

THE DOCUMENTS SOLIDIFYING A LEASE BETWEEN THE CITY AND THE DEVELOPERS WILL BE A LONG ONE.

THE CITY WILL PROBABLY GIVE UP RENT IN EXCHANGE FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF PUBLIC PARKS, VERY SIMILAR TO WHAT HAPPENED AT LIBERTY STATION.

TWO, THE APPROVALS.

THE BUILDINGS WILL BE HIGHER THAN THE 30 FOOT HEIGHT LIMIT FOR THE AREA THE STATE ENDORSED THE THEORY IT DOES NOT MATTER BECAUSE THEY ARE BUILDING AFFORDABLE HOUSING.

THERE IS STILL AN EFFORT TO GET THE STATE TO PASS LEGISLATION TO ENSURE PEOPLE CAN NOT SUE AS EASILY TO STOP IT.

THREE, THE INFRASTRUCTURE FINANCING DISTRICT.

THE CITY AND DEVELOPERS ARE PROPOSING TO DRAW A LINE AROUND THE PROJECT AND KEEP MOST OF THE NEW PROPERTY TAXES IT GENERATES IN THE AREA TO PAY OFF LOANS THEY BORROW TO DO TRAFFIC IMPROVEMENTS AND OTHER THINGS.

THE PROJECT IS STILL GOING FORWARD.

THE MAYOR'S TEAM IS JUST STRUGGLING TO GET IT APPROVED.

FOR VOICE OF SAN DIEGO, I'M SCOTT LEWIS, AND THAT IS WHY IT MATTERS.

>>> THIS WEEK TEND IS TIME TO CELEBRATE ALL OF THE FATHERS -- WEEKEND IT IS TIME TO CELEBRATE FATHERS AND FATHER FIGURES, AS WE HONOR THE MEN IN OUR LIVES IT IS A GOOD TIME TO FOCUS ON A FATHER'S MENTAL HEALTH.

>> Reporter: THEY ARE NOT ALWAYS APT TO PRIORITIZE HEALTH.

IN FACT, EXPERTS SAY MANY FATHERS AND FATHER FIGURES DISREGARD THEIR WELL BEING.

SELF-CARE IS ESSENTIAL FOR EVEN THE STRONGEST OF MEN.

>> DADS ARE JUST AS HUMAN AS ANYONE ELSE.

>> Reporter: CLINICAL PSYCHOLOGIST SAYS HE IS STARTING TO SEE MORE MEN IN HIS PRACTICE SPEAKING UP ABOUT FEELINGS OF LONELINESS, DIMINISHED SELF-WORTH OR FEELING OVERWHELMED BY THE MANY ROLES THEY PLAY.

YOUNG DADS ALSO TEND TO REFLECT ON THE RELATIONSHIP WITH THEIR OWN FATHER AND FEEL THE NEED TO CORRECT THINGS THEIR DADS GOT WRONG.

>> THAT CREATES A LOT OF PRESSURE.

SO, WE REALLY WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT DADS RECOGNIZE WHAT IS WITHIN MY CONTROL, WHAT DO I HAVE A CHOICE OVER AND TO RECOGNIZE I AM DOING THE BEST THAT I CAN AND IN MOST SITUATION THAT SAY PRETTY GOOD JOB.

>> Reporter: HE SAYS IT IS CRITICAL TO RECOGNIZE MENTAL HEALTH STRUGGLES LIKE EMOTIONAL AND PHYSICAL FATIGUE, IRITTABILITY, POOR FOCUS, WITHDRAWALLING FROM WITHDRAWING FROM FAMILY.

>> THIS IDEA OF I HAVE TO BE SUPERMAN IN ALL AREAS OF MY LIFE.

>> Reporter: AND IT IS IMPORTANT THAT FATHERS KNOW THAT IT IS OKAY TO ASK FOR HELP.

>> MENTAL HEALTH TREATMENT IS A SIGN OF STRENGTH AND NOT A WEAKNESS.

>> Reporter: FOR HEALTH MINUTE.

>> Reporter: BUT THE WOVEN BATHROOM IS NOT FUNCTIONAL.

SHE ALSO WOVEN A FRIDGE, PACKED WITH A SANDWICH, A CARTON OF ALMOND MILK AND BOTTLE OF HOT SAUCE ALL MADE FROM THIN STRIPS.

THE WORK TURNS A CENTURY'S OLD DOMESTIC CRAFT ON ITS HEAD.

>> YOU KNOW A MICROWAVE, A FRIDGE, TOILET AT ONE TIME WAS REVOLUTIONARY THING.

BECAUSE OF TIME AND THESE HABITS THAT YOU FORM AROUND THESE SPACES YOU LOSE THAT VISION.

SO, I LIKED HOW SHE, IN USING A SLOW CRAFT TO CREATE THESE OBJECTS, KIND OF REFOCUSES YOUR ATTENTION TO THEIR ACTUAL USE.

>> Reporter: THE EXHIBIT EXPLORES WHAT IT MEANS TO FEEL AT HOME.

ESPECIALLY IN A PLACE THAT IS NOT YOURS.

TORRES SAYS IT SPEAKS TO HOUSING CHALLENGES.

>> YOU KNOW, WITH RENTING, THERE ARE FEW PEOPLE IN MY GENERATION THAT OWN THEIR HOMES, MOVING PLACE TO PLACE, THINKING ABOUT THE ATTACHMENT YOU HAVE TO THE SPACES AROUND YOU, THE OBJECTS AROUND YOU.

>> Reporter: THOMPSON MOVED AROUND A LOT AS A KID THAT RESULTED IN HER COLLECTING SMALLER THINGS.

SHE SAYS THAT CAN FEEL AT ODDS WITH A MORE ANTI-MATERIALISTIC MIND SET.

SHE ALSO SAYS PRIVILEGE AND PLENTY CAN MAKE POSSESSIONS FEEL MORE DISPOSABLE.

THAT WHEN PEOPLE HAVE LESS, THE OBJECTS THEY DO HAVE BECOME MORE CRUCIAL.

>> IT IS, LIKE, WITH ALMOST, WE HAVE BEEN RAISED TO NOT VALUE OR EARTHY THINGS.

>> I THINK THERE IS AN IMPORTANCE TO THAT.

TO CARE FOR WHAT WE OWN, YOU KNOW AND WHAT WE VALUE.

>> Reporter: WHILE THE STAFF ENJOY SEEING VISITORS GIGGLE, SHE SAYS TOILETS HAVE A LONG TRADITION IN MUSEUMS YOU >> THINK OF TOILETS THE GOLD TOILETS THAT ARE ART PIECES BY THEMSELVES.

I LIKE TO THINK OF INDIA'S TOILET.

>> YOU GOT THIS ONE.

WHEN I TAKE OFF, YOU KNOW, I TAKE OFF AND I GO STRAIGHT INTO AN INVERTED FLIGHT AND FLY UPSIDE DOWN.

MY TURN, WHEN I AM TURNING I AM BANKING MORE THAN 30 DEGREES AND DOING THOSE THINGS.

FLYING A COMMERCIAL AIRLINE YOU ARE IN THE BACKSEAT AS A PASSENGER YOU HAVE YOUR TRAY BACK TABLE DOWN WITH ORANGE JUICE THAT MEANS IN I AM FLYING, MY TURNS HAVE TO BE SO MINUTE THAT THE ORANGE JUICE DOES NOT MOVE OFF OF THAT TABLE.

THAT IS MY FLIGHT THAT IS WHAT I DO.

I FLY A SET SERIES OF MANEUVERS FOR THE AIR SHOW.

I DO NOT GO TO AN AIR SHOW GUESSING WHAT I WANT TO DO.

I FLY EXACTLY WHAT I WANT TO FLY AND STICK WITH THE PLAN.

>> I REALLY DID NOT CHOOSE AVIATION IT CHOSE ME, I WAS TWO YEARS OLD AND MY FATHER TOOK ME TO AN AIRPORT, HIS FRIEND WAS A PILOT.

HE PARKED IT AND HE LANDED THROUGHOUT THE AFTERNOON.

>> THE REASON WHY I CHOSE THE PITS IT IS NOT JUST LOOKING LIKE ONE OF THE AIRPLANES YOU SEE EVERY DAY.

AND IT LOOKS GOOD AT AN AIR SHOW AND FLY LIST AND PERFORMS WELL AT AN AIR SHOW.

>> 2015 MAKING HISTORY BECOMING THE FIRST AFRICAN AMERICAN TO ENTER THE RENO NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP AIR RACE.

>> SAN DIEGO SAY BUSY AIRSPACE.

FLYING IN SAN DIEGO REQUIRES A LOT OF PILOT SKILLS, YOU HAVE LINDBERGH FIELD, THAT IS SAN DIEGO FROM NATIONAL AIRPORT HERE.

SMALLER AIRPORTS LIKE MONTGOMERY, BROWN FIELD, CARLSBAD, OCEANSIDE AIRPORT, ALL OF THE LITTLE ONES, MAKES THE AIRSPACE CONGESTED, ESPECIALLY ON BUSY HOLIDAYS.

>>> NEXT WEEK ON STAGE PLAYHOUSE OPENS UP A NEW PLAY DEALING WITH ISAAC NEWTON.

WE STOPPED BY A REHEARSAL.

>> Reporter: I SEE A 12 INCH NEEDLE AS A PROP I HAVE TO ASK THE DIRECTOR WHAT IT IS FOR.

>> DURING THE PRODUCTION THE ACTOR WILL JAM IT IN HIS EYE.

AND IT IS THE REP LICATION OF WHAT NEWTON DID.

THAT IS THE CASE AND WE DO NOT KNOW WHY.

IT HAS BEEN CONNECTED TO HIM USING IT AS A MEANS OF LIGHT SAY SUBSTANCE, PARTICLE OR A WAVE.

HE STUCK A NEEDLE WITHIN HIS TEAR DUCT.

>> YOU DID THE EXPERIMENT AND GOT THE RESULTS THAT YOU SAY YOU GOT.

IF YOU DON'T SWEAR I KNOW YOU DID NOT DO IT.

>> Reporter: THE PLAY IS ISAAC'S EYE.

IT IS IN REHEARSALS AT ONSTAGE PLAYHOUSE IN CHULA VISTA.

IT IS ABOUT SCIENCE BUT LITTLE REGARDS FOR FACTS.

A CHARACTER REFERRED TO AS THE ACTOR.

>> KIND OF TAKES YOU ON A RIDE THAT IS ISAAC NEWTON'S EARLY YEARS AS HE IS TRYING TO FIND HIMSELF AND TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT ABOUT HIS GENIUS IS THAT HE WANTS TO SHOW TO THE WORLD?

>> Reporter: MAX PLAYS NEWTON.

>> ISAAC NEWTON IS A NAME THAT EVERYONE IS FAMILIAR WITH.

BE THAT AS IT IS JUST A NAME YOU HEARD IN YOUR SCIENCE CLASS OR KNOW ON A DEEPER LEVEL.

NOT MANY PEOPLE KNOW A LOT ABOUT THE INDIVIDUAL AND WHAT HE WAS LIKE IN LIFE.

>> I PLAY ROBERT HOOK WHO IS A REAL LIFE HISTORICAL FIGURE.

>> ROBERT HOOK WAS A PROMINENT SCIENTIST IN THE SOCIETY.

HE IS NOTABLE KNOWN FOR THE EQUATION RELATED TO ELASTICITY CALLED HOPES LAW.

>> FOR REASONS NO ONE CAN EXPLAIN HIS WORK DISAPPEARED AFTER HIS LIFETIME AND SORT OF DISAPPEARED FROM HISTORY AS WELL.

>> WHEN WE TALK ABOUT ISAAC NEWTON, SCIENCE GENIUS, WE PUT HIM ON A PEDESTAL BUT HE WAS MUNIPULATOR.

>> THANKFULLY THE PLAYWRIGHT IS PLAYFUL AND HONEST ABOUT IT >> THAT THEIR IS NOT FOR REAL.

THE PLAGUE IT IS REAL.

IN THE REAL WORLD IT DID NOT HAPPEN AND SAM NEVER WAS.

>> YOU COULD CALL THE PLAY A CREATIVE EXPERIMENT WHICH MATH MIXES TRUTH WITH FICTION OR ETHER AND THEN STEPS BACK TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS.

>> ETHER IS NOT A THING BUT THE ACTOR MAKES A POINT THAT ETHER IS A LINE HOWEVER CHARACTERS LIKE ISAAC SEE IT AS TRUTH.

>> HE SAW THINGS THAT NO ONE ELSE COULD SEE.

>> BUT FOR THIS EXPERIMENT MATH DOES PROVIDE THE AUDIENCE WITH GUIDANCE.

>> AND ONE OF THE KEY ASPECTS OF THIS SHOW IS THAT ANYTHING THAT IS TRUE IS WRITTEN ON THE WALL.

>> SO YOU HAVE TO KEEP TRACK OF WHAT EXACTLY IS IT THAT THE PLAY IS TRYING TO TELL YOU.

WHAT EXACTLY BY ISAAC NEWTON IS REAL.

>> Reporter: ONE TRUTH IS THE PLAY IS ABOUT AMBITION YOU >> KNOW, THE CENTER OF IT THESE TWO INCREDIBLY AMBITIOUS MEN.

BOTH ROBERT HOOK AND NEWTON ARE PULLED INTO TWO DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS IN TERMS OF DO YOU WANT TO BE HAPPY OR SUCCESSFUL?

>> VERSUS WHAT MIGHT YOU BE WILLING TO SACRIFICE?

>> Reporter: NOT JUST PERSONAL SACRIFICES BACK TO YOU.

THE SACRIFICES OF OTHERS LIKE A DYING MAN NAMED SAM.

>> HE IS JUST A REFLECTION OF THE COMMON PERSON.

THE PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT EXACTLY IN THE HIGHEST RANKS OF SOCIETY BUT THEY THEIR EXISTENCE OR HUMANITY IS SOMETHING THAT THIS PLAY HIGHLIGHTS.

>> Reporter: HUMANITY THE SCIENTISTS FAIL TO ACKNOWLEDGE AS THEY SUBJECT SAM TO THE NEEDLE EXPERIMENT.

>> WE ARE GOING TO TAKE THIS NEEDLE AND STICK IT IN AND I WANT YOU TO TELL US WHAT YOU CAN SEE, ALL RIGHT?

>> YEAH, OKAY.

>> LEAN BACK.

ARE WE READY?

>> WHEN I SAY, YEAH.

>> Reporter: THE PLAY SERVES UP AN EXCITING SAN DIEGO PREMIERE.

BUT IT COMES AT A CHALLENGING TIME FOR ONSTAGE PLAYHOUSE AND THE ARTISTIC DIRECTOR.

>> OUR LEASE IS UP HERE IN FEBRUARY OF 2027.

IT MEANS WE OBVIOUSLY CAN NOT ANNOUNCE A NEW SEASON.

WE DON'T KNOW WHERE WE WILL BE.

IT WE ARE SOMEWHAT ON LIFE SUPPORT.

WE HAVE ABOUT THREE MONTHS OF FUNDS IN THE ACCOUNT RIGHT NOW BUT WE HAVE SIX MORE MONTHS UNTIL THE END OF OUR SEASON.

SO, YOU CAN DO THE MATH.

THAT IS WHERE WE ARE.

>> Reporter: HE HOPES THAT ISAAC'S EYE WILL BRING IN NEEDED FUNDS FOR THE COMPANY.

HE REFUSES TO RAISE TICKET PRICES BECAUSE HE WANTS THE PEOPLE IN THE CHULA VISTA COMMUNITY TO BE ABLE TO SEE LIVE THEATER FOR $20 OR LESS.

THAT IS THE LEGACY HE HOPES TO LEAVE.
