THANK YOU.

>>> AN EDUCATION PLATFORM USED BY MANY INSTITUTIONS WORLDWIDE IS NOW BACK ONLINE.

THANKS FOR JOINING US.

I'M MAYA TRABULSI.

CANVAS WAS SHUTDOWN AFTER A CYBER ATTACK.

THE OUTAGE HAPPENED IN THE MIDDLE OF FINALS AT MANY SCHOOLS.

KPBS REPORTER ALEXANDER WYNN TALKED TO SOME STUDENTS AFFECTED AND CYBER SECURITY BEHIND THE OUTAGE.

>> Reporter: WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU CAN'T ACCESS YOUR LECTURES OR NOTES TO STUDY FOR THOSE FINALS?

>> OH, I WAS SO SUPPRESS STRESSED.

>> Reporter: THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED TO GONZALEZ WHEN THE PLATFORM WENT DOWN YESTERDAY.

>> EVERY SINGLE NOTE, EVERY SINGLE LECTURE VIDEO, EVERYTHING WE NEED TO STUDY FOR OUR FINAL IS ON CANVAS.

SO WHILE IT WAS DOWN FOR THIS MORNING AND YESTERDAY, NO ONE WAS ABLE TO STUDY FOR IT.

>> Reporter: WHEN STUDENTS LOGGED ON, THEY SAW THIS MESSAGE FROM THE HACKER GROUP SHINY HUNTERS.

IT THREATENS RELEASE DATA UNLESS CANVAS' PARENT COMPANY, INSTRUCTURE, PAYS THE RANSOM.

>> THEY GOT NAMES, EMALES, SECURITY I.D.s.

>> Reporter: HACKERS GOT IN THROUGH A BACK DOOR VULNERABILITY, BUT WHAT'S CONCERNING TO HIM IS WE DON'T KNOW HOW DEEP THE BREACH WAS.

>> WE DON'T HAVE ALL THE INFORMATION YET, SO THERE'S SOMETHING GOING ON IN THEIR ENVIRONMENT.

>> Reporter: THAT'S PART OF THE REASON WHY SOME SCHOOLS LIKE UC SAN DIEGO ARE LIMITING ACCESS TO CANVAS.

THE UNIVERSITY IS ADVISING STUDENTS TO AVOID ACCESSING CANVAS UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE.

DURING THE OUTAGE MANY PROFESSORS WEREN'T ABLE TO CONTACT STUDENTS ABOUT COURSE ASSIGNMENTS AND TESTS DUE.

SOME LIKE JACQUELINE SEGAL FOUND OTHER WAYS TO CONTACT STUDENTS.

SHE POSTED ON THE SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORM REDDIT.

SHE DIDN'T WANT STUDENTS TO STRESS ABOUT THEIR FINALS.

>> BUT I WAS ALSO SORT OF WORRIED FOR ME.

I DON'T NEED TO RESPOND TO HUNDREDS OF E-MAILS.

I FIGURE GIVEN THE COURSES ARE SO LARGE THERE MUST BE AT LEAST ONE PERSON IN MY CLASS WHO'S ON REDDIT WHO CAN THEN PROVIDE THE INFORMATION TO THE OTHER STUDENTS.

>> Reporter: THAT SEEMS TO HAVE WORKED FOR HER CLASS.

AT USD JACK KELLY SAYS HIS PROFESSORS HAVE BEEN ACCOMMODATING.

>> BUT THEY'RE VERY SUPPORTIVE, VERY HELPFUL DEALING WITH THE OUTAGE.

>> Reporter: IN A STATEMENT INSTRUCTURE SAYS IT HAS SHUTDOWN THE SOURCE OF THE BREACH AND REGRETS THE CONCERN THIS MAY HAVE CAUSED.

WITH CANVAS BACK UP STUDENTS ARE BREATHING A SIGH OF RELIEF AND HOPE THIS MAY BE THE ONLY DISRUPTION DURING THIS STRESSFUL FINAL SEASON.

ALEXANDER WYNN, KPBS NEWS.

>>> FEDERAL IMMIGRATION OFFICIALS THIS WEEK SAID THE CREW SHIP WORKERS ARRESTED AT THE PORT OF SAN DIEGO WERE INVOLVED IN SEXUAL EXPLOITATION.

BUT KPBS REPORTER GUSTAVO SOLIS SAID THEY WERE ALL DEPORTED BEFORE FEDERAL PROSECUTORS HAD A CHANCE TO FILE CRIMINAL CHARGES.

>> Reporter: ACCORDING TO I.C.E., AGENTS ARRESTED 23 CREW MEMBERS FROM MULTIPLE SHIPS AS PART OF OPERATION TIDAL WAVE, WHICH TARGETED PEOPLE SUSPECTED OF HAVING OR DISTRIBUTING CHILD PORGNOGRAPHY.

CUSTOMS AND BORDER PROTECTION TOLD KPBS THAT EVERYONE ARRESTED HAS ALREADY BEEN DEPORTED, BUT THEY WOULD NOT PROVIDE ANY OTHER INFORMATION ABOUT THE CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION.

FEDERAL PROSECUTORS IN SAN DIEGO AND LOS ANGELES SAY THEY HAVE NO RECORDS OF CRIMINAL CHARGES RELATED TO OPERATION TIDAL WAVE.

MICHAEL WINKLEMAN IS A MARITIME LAWYER.

HE TOLD KPBS NEWS PAYNE, ABC 10 NEWS, THAT THIS IS HIGHLY UNUSUAL.

>> THEY COULD HAVE BEEN CHARGED IN U.S.

COURTS AND BE IN FEDERAL PRISON RIGHT NOW AWAITING CHARGES AND AWAITING TRIAL, ET CETERA.

BUT THE FACT THEY WERE SENT HOME TO THEIR HOME COUNTRIES, THAT'S ACTUALLY QUITE UNIQUE.

>> Reporter: ANOTHER EXPERT TOLD KPBS THAT DEPORTING PEOPLE ACCUSED OF SERIOUS CRIMES BEFORE THEY FACE CONSEQUENCES DENIES JUSTICE TO THE VICTIMS OF THOSE CRIMES.

IN THE NEWSROOM, GUSTAVO SOLIS, KPBS NEWS.

>>> WE HAVE SOME COOL NIGHTS BUT VERY WARM DAYS, INCREASINGLY HOT THROUGH THE NEXT THREE DAYS OF SATURDAY, SUNDAY, MONDAY.

A LITTLE WARMER EACH DAY.

MONDAY WILL BRING THE PEAK OF THE HEAT.

WE'RE DOWN TO 60 FOR YOUR LOW.

BORREGO SPRINGS, COACHELLA, WE'RE LOOKING AT EXTREME HEAT WARNINGS THAT WILL BE IN EFFECT FROM 10:00 A.M.

SUNDAY TO 8:00 P.M.

MONDAY.

THAT PUTS SUNDAY AND MONDAY INTO THE HOTTEST OF THE HOT.

WE'LL TAKE A LOOK AT THAT COMPLETE FORECAST COMING UP.

>>> AS THE SAN DIEGO CITY COUNCIL CONTINUES DEBATING THE UPCOMING BUDGET, A POPULAR HOLIDAY EVENT MIGHT BE ON THE CHOPPING BLOCK AT TUESDAY'S BUDGET MEETING.

CITY COUNCIL MEMBER LEE ASKED ABOUT A LINE IN THE REPORT.

IT SAID THAT SPECIAL EVENTS AND FILMING WAS GOING TO BE CONSOLIDATED INTO THE PARKS AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT.

THE CITY SAYS THAT WOULD IMPACT DECEMBER NIGHTS TO IT HAPPENING NOT AT ALL.

THE EVENT COSTS $1.5 MILLION TO PUT ON.

COUNCIL MEMBER LEE SAYS HE HOPES IT CAN BE SAVED.

>> I THINK OF HOW EBENEZER SCROOGE ULTIMATELY ENDED UP CHANGING HIS MIND, AND SO I THINK THE QUESTION HERE IS WILL THE MAYOR?

I DON'T THINK HE'S GOING TO GO GET A VISIT FROM THREE GHOSTS, BUT I KNOW THERE'S NINE COUNCIL MEMBERS THAT PROBABLY WOULD LOVE TO HAVE A CHAT WITH HIM.

>> MAYOR TODD GLORIA'S OFFICE TOLD OUR MEDIA PARTNER, KGTV THAT NO FINAL DECISION HAS BEEN MADE AND THE CITY IS EXPLORING PHILANTHROPIC AND CORPORATE PARTNERSHIPS TO HELP SUSTAIN THE EVENT IN THE YEARS TO COME.

>>> THE JOBS MARKET STAYED RESILIENT DURING APRIL, ACCORDING TO THE LABOR DEPARTMENT.

THAT'S EVEN AS FUEL PRICES SQUEEZE BUSINESSES AND EMPLOYERS.

BUT A NEW SURVEY ALSO FOUND HIGH GAS PRICES DRAGGING DOWN CONSUMER'S ECONOMIC OUTLOOK.

KAREN CAFA HAS THE LATEST FROM WASHINGTON.

>> Reporter: SOARING FUEL PRICES DIDN'T STALL EMPLOYERS FROM HIRING IN APRIL AS MUCH AS EXPERTS PREDICTED.

THE LABOR DEPARTMENT SAYS THE U.S.

ECONOMY CREATED 150,000 JOBS LAST MONTH, FAR KPEETDING ECONOMIST'S EXPECTATIONS OF 55,000.

HEALTH CARE LED THE WAY WITH 37,000 JOBS.

TRANSPORTATION AND WAREHOUSING GAINS 30,000, AND RETAIL 22,000.

THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION DESCRIBING THE NUMBERS AS, QUOTE, BLOCKBUSTER.

SOME ECONOMISTS SEE A MORE TEPID MARKET THAT HAS GOVERNMENT, MANUFACTURING, AND TECH-RELATED JOBS DOWN.

>> BASICALLY WHAT WE'VE GOT HERE IS A CONTINUATION OF COMPANIES NOT HIRING, NOT FIRING WORKERS, AND THAT GIVES YOU A SORT OF OKAY-ISH EMPLOYMENT SITUATION.

>> Reporter: THE LABOR PARTICIPATION RATE, THE PERCENTAGE OF PEOPLE AGE 16 AND OVER EITHER EMPLOYED OR ACTIVELY SEEKING WORK CONTINUED TO SLIP, CREATING MUCH OF A THRESHOLD FOR THE UNEMPLOYMENT RATE TO STAY STEADY.

THE NUMBER OF PART TIME WORKERS UNABLE TO FIND FULL TIME ROLES TICKED UP.

>> SOME OF THE NUMBERS POWERING CONSUMER SPENDING WHICH IS TWO THIRDS OF GDP, THAT'S OUR ECONOMIC GROWTH INDICATOR.

THINGS LIKE UNDEREMPLOYMENT, PEOPLE STRUGGLING TO GET THE AMOUNT OF HOURS THAT THEY'RE WORKING, THOSE STILL LOOKED NEGATIVE.

>> Reporter: WAGE GAIN SLOWED AGAIN IN APRIL AND THAT COULD BE OUTPACED BY INFLATION.

THE UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN SAID ON FRIDAY ITS LATEST NUMBERS ON CONSUMER SENTIMENT DROPPED TO A RECORD LOW AS THE WAR IN IRAN KEEPS ENERGY PRICES ELEVATED.

KPBS NEWS.

>>> A LOT OF CROSS BORDER TRAFFIC IS EXPECTED OVER THE MOTHER'S DAY HOLIDAY WEEKEND.

CUSTOMS AND BORDER PROTECTION SAYS THEY'LL BE KEEPING AN EYE OUT FOR ANY FLOWERS COMING IN FROM MEXICO.

THE LOCAL CBAP FIELD OFFICE IS REMINDING TRAVELERS TO DECLARE ARE FLOWER AND PLANT FERALS IN THEIR POSSESSION.

THEY SAY IT'S A PART OF MINIMIZING THE RISK OF INVASIVE INSECTS THAT COULD HARM LOCAL CROPS AND OTHER VEGETATION.

CBP SAYS TRAVELERS CAN EXPECT POSSIBLE INSPECTIONS AT BORDER CROSSINGS.

ROSES AND CARNATIONS ARE OKAY, BUT ONE TYPE OF FLOWER, WHICH IS CHRYSANTHEMUMS, CANNOT BE BROUGHT IN FROM MEXICO.

FLOWERS ARE AMONG THE MOST POPULAR GIFTS TO GET MOM FOR MOTHER'S DAY, BUT THIS YEAR THEY MAY COST YOU MORE.

MAYOR GONZALEZ VISITED THE LARGEST WHOLESALE FLOWER MARKET TO FIND OUT WHAT IS DRIVING THOSE PRICES AND HOW MUCH MORE YOU COULD EXPECT TO SPEND ON BLOOMS THIS YEAR.

>> Reporter: MOTHER'S DAY CONSUMER SPENDING IS EXPECTED TO REACH A RECORD $38 BILLION THIS YEAR.

THAT IS ACCORDING TO A SURVEY BY THE NATIONAL RETAIL FEDERATION.

SHOPPERS WILL SPEND AN AVERAGE OF $248 ON MOM EVEN IN THE FACE OF RISING PRICES.

>> I'VE BEEN WORKING HERE 11 YEARS ALREADY.

>> Reporter: ANA MENDOZA AT THIS WHOLESALE FLOWER MARKET IN DOWNTOWN LOS ANGELES HAS SEEN CHANGES THIN INDUSTRY.

>> LITTLE BY LITTLE EVERY YEAR DIFFERENT PRICES.

>> Reporter: THIS YEAR NO EXCEPTION.

>> HOW MUCH ARE THESE?

>> THESE ARE 70.

>> Reporter: HOW MUCH WERE THEY LAST YEAR?

>> LAST YEAR THEY WERE $50.

>> Reporter: SO $20 MORE.

THEY POINT TO GAS PRICES AND PRESIDENT TRUMP'S WAR IN IRAN AS CONTRIBUTORS.

>> SO THE FUEL COSTS IS EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE RIGHT NOW AND IT AFFECTS THE COST OF THE FLOWERS.

>> Reporter: AND IT'S NOT JUST THE FLOWERS THAT ARE COSTING MORE.

VENDORS SAY THE MATERIALS THEY USE TO MAKE THESE ARRANGEMENTS FROM THE PLASTICS THE TISSUE PAPER TO THE BASKETS, ALL OF THOSE ARE GETTING MORE EXPENSIVE.

>> AND TODAY'S ECONOMY IS DIFFICULT.

YOU KNOW, IT'S VERY DIFFICULT.

AND FLOWERS CAN BE REALLY EXPENSIVE.

>> Reporter: CUSTOMERS LIKE GRETCHENCEIVERSON ARE FEELING THE PRICE HIKES, OPTING TO BUY WHOLESALE TO SAVE.

>> I YOU'RE GETTING A LOT FOR YOUR MONEY.

I KNOW IT DOES FLUCTUATE, BUT THIS IS THE BEST I'VE SEEN SO FAR.

>> Reporter: THEY'RE WORKING WITH PEOPLE'S BUDGETS.

>> LAST YEAR WE DID MORE BIG ONES, BUT NOW LET'S DO MORE SMALLER SO PEOPLE CAN -- YOU KNOW, REASONABLE PRICES.

IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE A BIG ARRANGEMENT TO MAKE YOUR MOM HAPPY.

>> DRIVING UP PRICES ON FLOWERS THEY SOURCE FROM THAT STATE.

IN LOS ANGELES, I'M MARY BEL GONZALEZ.

>>> GOVERNOR GAVIN NEWSOM HAS ANNOUNCED A FIRST IN THE NATION PROGRAM PROVIDING FREE DIAPERS FOR NEWBORNS.

CALIFORNIA IS PARTNERING WITH THE NON-PROFIT BABY TO BABY TO PROVIDE 400 DIAPERS FOR FREE TO FAMILIES WITH NEW BABIES.

THE GOLDEN STATE START PROGRAM WILL BE IMPLEMENTED FIRST AT HOSPITALS THAT SERVE MEDEKRAL PATIENTS SO THAT LOW INCOME FAMILIES WILL BENEFIT RIGHT AWAY.

NEWSOM SAYS DIAPER COSTS HAVE RISEN 45% SINCE THE PANDEMIC WITH 1 IN 4 CALIFORNIA FAMILIES SKIPPING MEALS TO AFFORD THEM.

>>> RIGHT NOW THERE ARE EFFORTS TO REPEAL CITY OF SAN DIEGO TO BALANCE THE BUDGET.

THAT INCLUDES NEW TRASH FEES.

THEY'RE SITTING OVER THE $43 CHARGE.

THEIR ATTORNEYS SAY RESIDENTS APPROVED A MUCH LOWER PRICE WHEN APPROVING THE TRASH FEE MEASURE.

AT THAT TIME THE CITY SAID THE FEE WOULD ONLY BE $23 TO $29.

>> IT'S NOT FAIR THAT THE TAXPAYERS BE BURDENED BY MISTAKES AND MISUSE OF FUNDS BY CITY OFFICIALS.

IT'S TIME FOR THEM TO OWN THE PROBLEM AND ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY AND FIX IT AND NOT MAKE US RESPONSIBLE FOR EVERY -- AT EVERY OPPORTUNITY THAT THEY HAVE.

>> ATTORNEYS FOR THE CITY DENY OVER CHARGING RATE PAYERS.

THEY SAY -- THEY SAY THAT THEY BUILT A SUBSTANTIAL BUFFER INTO THE NEW FEES TO PROTECT THE CITY BECAUSE THEY DO NOT HAVE EXPERIENCE WITH THE NEW SYSTEM YET.

THE CITY SAYS IF THE TRASH FEES ARE REPEALED, THE BUDGET WILL ONLY GROW, LEAVING IT IN A TOUGHER POSITION.

>>> LA MESA POLICE DEPARTMENT THIS WEEK HONORED OFFICER CRAVEN WHO DIED LAST WEEK IN THE LINE OF DUTY.

CRAVEN IS THE FIRST TO BE HONORED ON THE CITY'S PEACE OFFICER MEMORIAL.

>> Reporter: THE BLACKSTONE MEMORIAL STANDS IN FRONT OF THE POLICE DEPARTMENT AND READS "IN VALOR THERE IS HOPE, WE WILL NEVER FORGET."

>> HER IMPACT WAS AMAZING IN THE SENSE SHE WAS JUST A WONDERFUL HUMAN BEING FIRST, AND SHE JUST HAD SO MUCH CARE AND COMPASSION FOR OTHERS AND THE COMMUNITY.

>> Reporter: CRAVEN WAS HIT AND KILLED BY A CAR WHILE ASSISTING A MOTORIST WHO WAS IN A FIVE-VEHICLE CRASH ON THE EASTBOUND SIDE OF INTERSTATE 8.

>> SHE WAS INCREDIBLY BRAVE AND COURAGEOUS, AND THAT EVENING SHE WAS IN A DANGEROUS SITUATION AND SHE MADE THE ULTIMATE SACRIFICE.

>> Reporter: CRAVEN WAS THE FIRST OFFICER IN THE HISTORY OF THE LA MESA POLICE DEPARTMENT TO BE KILLED IN THE LINE OF DUTY.

HIGGINS SAYS HER FELLOW OFFICERS ARE STILL STRUGGLING TO COPE WITH HER DEATH.

>> IT IS A DIFFICULT TIME.

WE OBVIOUSLY STILL HAVE A JOB TO DO, AND STILL PUBLIC SAFETY IS OUR NUMBER ONE PRIORITY.

AND WE RECOGNIZE THAT, BUT WE ALSO WILL NEVER FORGET LAUREN.

HER LIGHT AND THE WAY SHE WAS WILL CONTINUE TO SHINE.

>> Reporter: THE MEMORIAL IS OPEN TO THE PUBLIC.

ELAINE ELFAROW KPBS NEWS.

>>> TONIGHT ON THE NEWS HOUR, NEW U.S.

STRIKES ON IRANIAN TANKERS THREATEN THE CEASE-FIRE.

THAT'S COMING UP AT 7:00 AFTER THE EVENING EDITION ON KPBS.

>>> A NUMBER OF CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS WHO HAVE SINCE RETURNED HOME ARE CONFIRMED TO HAVE BEEN AMONG THE PASSENGERS ON A CRUISE SHIP AT THE CENTER OF A HANTAVIRUS OUTBREAK.

THE CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC HEALTH HAS NOT DISCLOSED THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE INVOLVED AND SAYS THERE'S NO INFORMATION THAT ANY OF THOSE RESIDENTS ARE ACTUALLY INFECTED.

THREE PASSENGERS ON THE DUTCH CRUISE SHIP HAVE NOW DIED, AND FIVE OTHER PEOPLE HAVE FALLEN ILL WITH SYMPTOMS OF HANTAVIRUS, WHICH IS A RARE DISEASE USUALLY CARRIED BY RODENTS.

STATE OFFICIALS SAY THAT RIGHT NOW THE RISK TO PUBLIC HEALTH IN CALIFORNIA IS LOW.

>>> LAKE HODGES IS A SAN DIEGO LANDMARK WITH SCENIC HIKING, FISHING, AND KAYAKING, BUT RESIDENTS WARN THE CITY'S CENTURIES OLD RESERVOIR IS A DISASTER WAITING TO HAPPEN.

THE QUESTION IS WHETHER THE CALAMITY WILL COME BY FLOOD OR BY FIRE.

OUR NEWS REPORTER HAS THE STORY.

>> Reporter: RESIDENTS AROUND LAKE HODGES STILL REMEMBER THE 2007 RIDGE CREEK FIRE THAT TORE THROUGH THEIR COMMUNITY.

THEY SAY IT'S NOT A MATTER OF IF THE NEXT ONE COMES BUT WHEN, AND THIS TIME THEY WON'T HAVE AS MUCH WATER TO DETER IT AND FIGHT IT.

WHEN THE SEASON GETS DRYER THE VEGETATION IS GOING TO GO BROWN INCLUDING THE STUFF ON THE BOTTOM.

IT JUST BECOMES A BIG TINDERBOX, AND IN ESSENCE IT'S JUST WAITING FOR AN ACCIDENT TO HAPPEN.

>> Reporter: IN 2022 THE STATE DEEMED THE NOW 108-YEAR-OLD LAKE HODGES DAM UNSATISFACTORY, WHICH ACCORDING TO THE U.S.

ARMY CORP OF ENGINEERS, MEANS IT REQUIRES IMMEDIATE OR EMERGENCY REMEDIAL ACTION.

IT IS THE ONLY DAM IN THE STATE AGENCY'S JURISDICTION WITH THAT LABEL.

THE STATE TOLD THE CITY OF SAN DIEGO, WHICH OWNS THE DAM, THAT IT NEEDS TO KEEP THE WATER LEVEL AT 280 FEET OR BELOW.

THAT'S ABOUT 35 FEET BELOW THE SPILLWAY.

OTHERWISE, AN EARTHQUAKE COULD LEAD TO THE DAM FAILING AND FLOODING RANCHO SANTA FE AND OTHER DOWNSTREAM COMMUNITIES.

BUT SOME RESIDENTS ARE CONCERNED THAT NO ONE IS PAYING ATTENTION TO THE VERY REAL FIRE RISKS, WHICH ONLY INKROOES AS THE CITY DUMPS BILLIONS OF GALLONS OF WATER OUT FROM THE RESERVOIR.

SAN DIEGO CITY COUNCIL MEMBER MARNY VAN WILBERT REPRESENTS THE AREA.

SHE HAS RAISED FIRE CONCERNS IN WRITTEN REPORTS AND COUNCIL MEETINGS AS RECENTLY AS THIS YEAR.

>> I'M STILL CONCERNED THE DEPARTMENT OF SAFETY IS STILL THINKING ABOUT THE DAMAGE WATER COULD DO TO PEOPLE BUT NOT THINKING ABOUT THE DAMAGE FIRE COULD DO TO PEOPLE.

>> Reporter: SINCE THEN THE CITY HAS CONTINUED TO RELEASE BILLIONS OF GALLONS OF WATER WITH NO LONG-TERM PLAN IN PLACE.

THE CITY IS EXPECTED TO RELEASE A PLAN IN 2027.

IT'S ALSO SET TO GO TO TRIAL WITH THE SANTA FE IRRIGATION DISTRICT AND THE -- WATER DISTRICT WHICH ACCUSE THE CITY OF NEGLIGENCE IN MAINTAINING THE DAM.

WHEN THEIR LAWSUIT WAS FILED IN 2024, THE WATER DISTRICT SAID THE CITY DUMPED $21 MILLION WORTH OF WATER OUT, AND THE DISTRICT HAD TO RAISE RATES FOR THEIR CONSUMERS AS A RESULT.

BUT RESIDENTS SAY THEY DO NOT HAVE THE TIME TO SPARE.

THEY HOPE AN APRIL LETTER FROM THE RIVER WALK JOINT POWERS AUTHORITY TO MAYOR TODD GLORIA WILL URGE THE CITY TO MAINTAIN THE RESERVOIR AT 295 FEET, ENOUGH TO PROVIDE WATER FOR USE AS WELL AS TO FIGHT FIRE.

>>> TODAY MARKS THE 100th BIRTHDAY OF NATURALIST AND BROADCASTER SIR DAVID ATTENBOROUGH.

IN HIS HONOR SCIENTISTS HAVE NAMED A NEW SPECIES OF WASP AFTER HIM.

THE PARASITIC WASP IS ABOUT 3.5 MILLIMETERS LONG, AND IT'S ACTUALLY NATIVE TO CHILE, ARGENTINA, AND NEW GUINEA.

IT WAS FIRST DISCOVERED IN THE AURALLY 1980s BUT WAS NEVER PROPERLY ANALYZED OR CLASSIFIED UNTIL RECENTLY.

>>> WE DO HAVE SOME SIGNIFICANT HEAT BUILDING ACROSS THE INTERIOR ABOVE THE DESERT FLOOR AND EVEN IN INLAND AREAS WITH NOT SO LOW ELEVATION.

WE'RE DEALING WITH A LITTLE MORE HEAT EACH DAY, SO IT'S GOING TO GET INCREASINGLY HOT SATURDAY, SUNDAY.

AND THE PEAK OF THE HEAT WILL BE WITH US IN THE INTERIOR ON MONDAY.

WHEN WE TAKE A LOOK AT THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK, IT'LL TURN BREEZIER, AND IT WILL NOT BE AS HOT, BUT STILL WARM.

JUST A BIT OF RELIEF THERE COMING BY TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY.

TONIGHT INTERMITTENT CLOUDS.

60 DEGREES.

THE BULK OF THE CLOUD COVER WILL BE RELATIVELY LOW AND NEAR THE COASTLINE.

SOME OF THOSE MARINE LAYER CLOUDS WILL BE NEARBY.

AND YOU'LL NOTICE THAT WE'RE INTENTIONAL IN NOT HIGHLIGHTING THE RED OR THE ORANGE RIGHT TO THE COAST, BUT INLAND AREAS AND ESPECIALLY TO THE INTERIOR DESERTS, WE'RE GOING TO BE DEALING WITH SOME SEARING HEAT BUILDING IN FOR SATURDAY AND SUNDAY AS WELL.

IN FACT, HIGHS WILL BE UP AROUND 70 IN SAN DIEGO.

SO DELIGHTFUL WEATHER FOR THE COAST.

BUT 80 IN ESCONDIDO, 85 IN RAMONA, GETTING A LITTLE WARM, AND 101 IN BORREGO SPRINGS.

IT IS A LITTLE EARLY -- NOT OFF THE CHARTS EARLY, BUT A LITTLE EARLY TO BE UP INTO THE TRIPLE DIGITS.

EXTREME HEAT INTO THE DESERTS ON SUNDAY.

VERY WARM WEATHER ACROSS THE DESERT SOUTHWEST.

SHOWERS SEQUESTERED INTO THE ROCKIES, AND THETE ALERTS HERE, LOOK AT AN EXTREME HEAT WARNING BEGINNING AT 10:00 A.M.

SUNDAY CONTINUING THROUGH MONDAY.

SO SUNDAY AND MONDAY, TWO VERY HOT DAYS THEREINTO THE INTERIOR DESERT.

BORREGO SPRINGS YOU'RE IN ON SOME OF THAT.

COACHELLA AS WELL.

THE HEAT PEAKS ON MONDAY ACROSS THE INTERIOR, BUT NOT ALONG THE IMMEDIATE COASTLINE, AND THE SURGE AGAIN WILL BE SUNDAY, MONDAY, TO YOU TUESDAY FOR SOME AREAS OF THE SOUTHWEST.

SOME AREAS OF INTERIOR WEST WILL FACE RECORD HIGHS, BUT AGAIN MAYBE A LITTLE SHY OF RECORDS IN MOST CALIFORNIA CITIES.

TEMPERATURES GOING TO BE 15 TO 25 DEGREES ABOVE HISTORIC AVERAGES IN THE INTERIOR AND PARTS OF THE GREAT BASIN.

77 ON MONDAY, 77 ON TUESDAY, A NICE TIME ON WEDNESDAY.

INLAND AREAS THIS IS WHERE YOU BEGIN TO FEEL A LITTLE BIT MORE WARMTH.

LOW 80s SUNDAY AND MONDAY.

REALLY, SATURDAY, SUNDAY, AND MONDAY, AND THEN THE HEAT BEGINS TO BACK OFF A LITTLE BIT FOR EARLY TO MIDPARTS OF NEXT WEEK AT LEAST FOR TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY.

INTO THE MOUNTAINS WE GO, AND HERE WE'RE GOING TO BE IN THE UPPER 60s BEFORE WE BACK DOWN TO AROUND 63 TUESDAY.

MAYBE RELATIVELY WARM THERE WEDNESDAY IN THE MOUNTAINS.

THIS IS WHEN WE'RE DEALING WITH THE CORE OF THE HEAT.

101, 102 ON MONDAY, THE HOTTEST OF THIS STRETCH, AND THEN BACKING DOWN INTO THE DOUBLE DIGITS BUT STILL VERY WARM FOR TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY.

HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND.

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY OUT THERE.

I'M JEFF CORNISH FOR NEWS.

OUR REPORTER TALKS CAN KADA PIERCE MORGAN, WHO RETURNS AFTER A ONE-YEAR HIATUS.

>> Reporter: SAN DIEGO INTERNATIONAL FRINGE EMBRACES THE WEIRD AND THE WONDERFUL, THE UNEXPECT ASKED THE PROFOUND.

IT'S UNCENSORED, UNPREDICTABLE AND AUDACIOUS.

FOR TEN YEARS KADA PIERCE MORGAN HAS BEEN SPEARHEADING A VIBRANT FRINGE OF THE FRINGE THROUGH HER SHOWS AT THE THEATER AND MORE RECENTLY BY PROVIDING VENUES FOR OTHER FRINGES.

>> WE'RE HERE FOR OUR THIRD YEAR OF THE INTERNATIONAL FRINGE FESTIVAL BASED AT 49th AND LOGAN MULTICULTURAL COMPLEX.

AND SO, SHAWN, I CAN HARDLY WAIT TO SHOW YOU THE THIRD VENUE.

>> Reporter: NOBODY EMBODIES THE FRINGE SPIRIT MORE THAN KADA.

>> IT'S CALLED THE THEATER WHERE THERE'S ART AND HOPE.

WE HAVE ONE DEAD BODY.

>> Reporter: OR MAYBE IT'S QUIRKINESS.

AT 78 SHE RARELY STOPS MOVING.

SHE ASKED TO FINISH THE THEATER NEXT WEEK.

SHE HAS A NEW SHOW FOR FRINGE PLUS MULTIPLE PROPERTIES TO MANAGE, SO IT'S HARD TO GET HER TO FOCUS ON ONE THING.

>> OH, IS THIS FOR REAL?

>> Reporter: THIS IS FOR REAL.

SHE DID SIT DOWN FOR AN INTERVIEW ABOUT HER NEW SOCIAL JUSTICE SHOW, FIGHTING BACK FROM THE FRINGES, WHICH DOCUMENTED HER DECADES-LONG BATTLE AGAINST ABUSE, HARASSMENT, AND MARGINALIZATION WHILE WORKING AS A DANCER AT LE GIRL'S THEATER, WHICH SHE NOW OWNS.

HER NEW SHOW TACKLES SOMETHING WHICH SHE ONLY ALULDED TO IN THE NEW PODCAST SERIES "THE MOM."

>> I DID BRING A MAGIC MARKER SO THAT IF I ACCIDENTLY MENTION NAMES, WHICH I DON'T DO, I'M READY.

WE WILL REDACT MY WORDS, RIGHT, BETH?

>> Reporter: SHE USES ARTD TO ADDRESS TRAUMA THROUGH AN ENTERTAINING LENS.

>> WELL, MY CURRENT SHOW ALSO OUGHT BIOGRAPHICAL, TRACING BACK THROUGH SAN DIEGO'S NEFARIOUS PAST TAKES PLACE IN 1973, AND I CALL IT SIMMER, WHAT'S COOKING.

>> Reporter: AND WHAT'S COOKING IS A STORY ABOUT LOLO AND THE MOM.

>> I'M LOLO, AND IT'S TIME FOR CHANGE.

LADIES, LET'S JOIN THE RANKS TO BE MADE, NOT JUST LAID.

>> IN 1973 THE STREETS OF SAN DIEGO DOWNTOWN WERE RUN BY THE MOB.

AND OF COURSE BEING A DANCER AT THAT TIME, YOU KNOW, THAT WAS PART OF MY LIFE HISTORY.

ALSO AT THAT TIME YOU CAN REMEMBER IT WAS THE HELL'S ANGELS, THE BIKERS, THE MOB, THE VICE.

I MEAN, IT WAS A PRETTY COLORFUL ENVIRONMENT FOR US.

>> Reporter: AND A PERFECT BACKDROP FOR A STORY ABOUT WOMEN PUSHING AGAINST STEREOTYPES.

>> SOMETIMES THE SHOW'S HARD TO UNDERSTAND, BUT IT REALLY DOESN'T MATTER.

IT'S ABOUT THE BREATH THAT YOU TAKE WHILE YOU'RE WATCHING IT, YOU KNOW, HOW YOU CHANGE IN WHAT YOU'RE SEEING OR YOUR PERSPECTIVE.

IT COMES JUST FROM A GUTTERAL SENSE OR INSTINCT OF SENSE.

>> Reporter: THAT'S BECAUSE SHE'S A POET AND HER SHES ARE UNABASHEDLY AVANT-GARDE.

IF SHE FINDS MARIONETTES, SHE'LL FIND A WAY TO ADD THEM TO THE SHOW.

IF CURRENT EVENTS AGONIZE HER, SHE'LL FIND A WAY TO SATIRIZE THEM, AND INTERESTING ARTISTS, SHE'LL REWRITE THE SHOW FOR THEM.

>> OH, YES, THAT WAS AN ACCIDENT.

IT WASN'T LIKE I WOKE UP AND SAID I NEED TO HAVE AN AERIALEST IN MY SHOW.

>> Reporter: BUT NOW SHE DOES.

>> Reporter: AND HERE SHE COMES COMING DOWN ON THE SILKS TO THE LIVE PIANIST, AND SO SHE IS THE ONE WHO WILL RESOLVE AND PERHAPS SHE CAN SAVE THE DAY.

>> Reporter: SHE ALSO INSISTS ON USING HIGHER DANCERS.

>> I LOVE THEM TO PIECES BECAUSE THEY HAVE SO MUCH TO OFFER, AND I LIKE TO USE DANCERS WHO ARE MAYBE CONSIDERED PAST THEIR PRIME.

I LOVE THE IDEA OF HAVING MULTIGENERATIONAL.

I THINK THAT IT PROMOTES THE STORYTELLING THAT IS PART OF THE SHOW.

>> Reporter: STORYTELLING THAT USES ART TO HEAL AND OFFER HOPE.

SO IF YOU WANT TO SEE WHAT'S COOKING DOWN AT LE GIRL'S THEATER CHECK OUT SIMMER AT THIS YEAR'S FRINGE.
