BACK TO YOU. ALL RIGHT. THANKS,
MARCELLA. OUR OTHER TOP STORY
TONIGHT THE PRESIDENT IS
PUBLICLY CONTRADICTING HIS OWN
HEALTH AGENCIES AS HE CONTINUES
TO PUSH TO GET KIDS BACK INTO
THE CLASSROOMS THIS FALL.
NATALIE BND IS AT THE WHITE
HOUSE WHERE PRESIDENT TRUMP IS
ALSO HOSTING THE LEADER OF
MEXICO. MR. PRESIDENT PRESIDENT
TRUMP IGNORED QUESTIONS AS HE
HEADED TO A WORKING DINNER WITH
THE PRESIDENT OF MEXICO AFTER A
DAY OF MEETINGS TOUTING THE NEW
U.S. MEXICO CANADA TRADE DEAL.
WE'VE HAD A GREAT RELATIONSHIP
RIGHT FROM THE BEGINNING.
THE VISIT CAME AS THE PRESIDENT
STEPPED UP HIS PUSH TO REOPEN
SCHOOLS THIS FALL DESPITE
SURGING CORONA VIRUS CASES IN
STATES ACROSS THE COUNTRY.
WE'RE SAFELY REOPENING OUR
COUNTRY AND VERY IMPORTANTLY
WE'RE SAFELY REOPENING OUR
SCHOOLS. WE WANT THE SCHOOLS TO
BE OPEN. THE PRESIDENT EVEN
TWEETED THIS THREAT SAYING MAY
CUT OFF FUNDING IF NOT OPEN.
NEW YORK GOVERNOR ANDREW CUOMO
EMPHASIZED IT'S A STATE AND
LOCAL DECISION WHEN AND WHERE
TO REOPEN. WELL, I WON'T GIVE
NEW YORK FUNDING. YOU DON'T
GIVE US ANY FUNDING NOW.
THE PRESIDENT ALSO TWEETED THAT
HE DISAGREES WITH HIS OWN CDC
SUGGESTIONS FOR REOPENING
SCHOOLS CALLING THEM VERY
TOUGH, EXPENSIVE AND
IMPRACTICAL. IT'S GUIDANCE.
IT'S NOT REQUIREMENTS. THE VISE
PRESIDENT SAID THE CDC WILL
ISSUE NEW GUIDANCE NEXT WEEK TO
GIVE MORE CLARITY ON REOPENING
SCHOOLS BECAUSE OF
THE PRESIDENT'S CRITICISM. WHAT
IS NOT THE INTENT OF CDC IS
GUIDELINES IS TO BE USED AS A
RATIONALE TO KEEP SCHOOLS
CLOSED. THE PRESUMPTIVE
DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENTIAL NOMINEE
JOE BIDEN CONTINUED TO BASH
THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION'S
RESPONSE TO THE PANDEMIC.
THE GUY WHO SAYS I'M COMMANDER
IN CHIEF AND THEN DON'T COMMAND
ANYTHING IN THIS FIGHT AGAINST
THE COVETED TEAM WITH
THE PRESIDENT THIS WEEK HAS
TOUTED A LOWER DEATH RATE FROM
THE PANDEMIC. BUT DR. ANTHONY
FOUCHIER CALLED THAT A QUOTE
FALSE NARRATIVE URGING
AMERICANS NOT TO BECOME
COMPLACENT. NATALIE BRAND, CBS
NEWS THE WHITE HOUSE AS
THE PRESIDENT PUSHES FOR
SCHOOLS TO REOPEN. GOVERNOR
GAVIN NEWSOM IS PUSHING BACK
SAYING THE CHOICE NEEDS TO BE A
DATA DRIVEN DECISION LEFT TO
LOCAL DISTRICTS NEW STATES.
HEATHER HOPE SPOKE WITH
PARENTS, STUDENTS AND EDUCATORS
ABOUT THE PUSH TO REOPEN. SHE
HAS THEIR REACTION AND THIS
LEARNING CURVE REPORT. YES,
THAT DECISION WEIGHING HEAVILY
ON PARENTS. MANY STILL UNSURE
ABOUT WHAT'S THE BEST WAY TO DO
EDUCATION MOVING FORWARD. WE
TALKED TO BETTY HERE AT KEARNEY
HIGH SCHOOL. WEIGH IN ON THIS
HOT TOPIC AND WHY NOT SEND MY
KIDS TO SCHOOL? DEFINITELY.
YES. I MEAN BEING AT HOME IT'S
A LOT TO DEFINITELY HAVE
CONCERNS ESPECIALLY FOR
TEACHERS AND THE KIDS IN
THE CLASSROOMS. THE PRESIDENT'S
PUSH TO REOPEN SCHOOLS IS
CAUSING SOME PUSH BACK A LITTLE
BIT OF SLEET. YOU NEVER KNOW
WHO'S SICK. HE'S NOT. PARENTS
AND STUDENTS PICKING UP FOOD AT
KEARNY HIGH SCHOOL EXPRESS SOME
FEARS AND WILLINGNESS TO GET
KIDS BACK IN THE CLASSROOM
SYMPTOM I'M AFRAID. WHAT IF
SOMETHING HAPPENED? MOM
STEPHANIE MARTINEZ SAID SHE
FILLED OUT YES ON A DISTRICT
SURVEY TO GET HER 10TH GRADER
BACK IN SCHOOL. BUT NOW HAS
SECOND THOUGHTS WITH AN
INCREASE IN CASES. I'M NOT THAT
THIS IS HAPPENING AND I'M
RETHINKING IT. AS FOR
THE PRESIDENT THREATENING TO
WITHHOLD FUNDING FOR STATES WHO
CHOOSE NOT REOPEN SCHOOLS COME
AUGUST. GOVERNOR GAVIN NEWSOM
HAD THIS TO SAY. WELL, WE NEED
TO ADDRESS THIS SAFELY
REOPENING THE SCHOOLS AND WE
NEED TO MAKE THAT A
FOUNDATIONAL PRINCIPLE. THAT TO
ME IS NOT NEGOTIABLE.
THE GOVERNOR SAID THE GOAL IS
TO PROVIDE MORE PPE AND SUPPORT
FOR EDUCATORS, PROTECT OUR
CAREGIVERS, OUR TEACHERS TO
PROTECT THEIR SUPPORT STAFF,
JANITORS, BUS DRIVERS AND OUR
CHILDREN. WE'RE PROBABLY ONE OF
THE LARGEST NOT THE LARGEST
ELEMENTARY SCHOOL DISTRICT IN
THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA. DR.
FRANCISCO ESCOVEDO,
THE SUPERINTENDENT OF THE CHULA
VISTA ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
DISTRICT SAYS SCHOOLS WILL
REOPEN ON AUGUST 30 FIRST WITH
A FIVE STAGE PLAN FOR HIS OVER
30000 STUDENTS. WE'RE GETTING
READY IS STILL OF ROAD AHEAD
FOR US OF AWARENESS MESSAGE
GENE. THE SCHOOLS WILL HAVE
TEMPERATURE CHECKS, SOME
STAGGERED SCHEDULES, FACEMASKS
AND HANDWASHING AREAS. WE HOPE
THAT WE CAN LIMIT THE CLASS
SIZES ESPECIALLY IF WE DO SOME
STAGGERED STARTS AS WELL. A
RECENT SAN DIEGO UNIFIED SCHOOL
DISTRICT STUDY SHOWS NEARLY 60
PERCENT OF PARENTS ARE WILLING
TO LET THEIR CHILDREN GO BACK
TO SCHOOL INSIDE A CLASSROOM
WHILE JUST 30 PERCENT SUPPORT
BOTH ONLINE AND IN CLASSROOM
EDUCATION. OF JUST 10 PERCENT
SHOWING THEY WANT ONLINE
EDUCATION ONLY. BARBARA LEE AND
CARLO. ALL RIGHT, HAVE A THANK
YOU. THERE HAS BEEN HOT DEBATE
OVER WHETHER TO SEND STUDENTS
BACK TO SCHOOL THIS FALL WHICH
BRINGS US TO OUR QUESTION OF
THE DAY. DO YOU AGREE WITH
THE PUSH TO SEND STUDENTS BACK
TO ON CAMPUS LEARNING
THE ANSWERS THERE? YES, I THINK
IT'LL BE OK. YOU KNOW I WON'T
BE SAFE OR I'M UNDECIDED RIGHT
NOW. YOU KNOW IT WON'T BE SAFE.
SEEM TO BE LEADING THE PACK BUT
YOU CAN LOG ONTO THE NEWS AID
APP OR CBSA DOT COM SLASH VOTE
TO WEIGH IN AND CHOOSE FROM ONE
OF THOSE THREE CHOICES. WE'LL
HAVE UPDATES THROUGHOUT
THE NEWSCAST. UC SAN DIEGO IS
WORKING TO KEEP INTERNATIONAL
STUDENTS ENROLLED HERE IN
THE U.S. THIS WEEK. ICE
ANNOUNCED THAT STUDENTS HERE ON
F 1 AND M1 VISAS WHO ONLY TAKE
COURSES ONLINE WILL NEED TO
TRANSFER SCHOOLS OR FACE
DEPORTATION. UC SAN DIEGO SAYS
IT IS WORKING TO OFFER ENOUGH
IN-PERSON AND HYBRID COURSES TO
MEET THE MINIMUM REQUIREMENT
FOR INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS TO
REMAIN IN THE U.S..
THE UNIVERSITY PLANS TO 30
PERCENT OF ITS COURSES IN
PERSON IN THE FALL AND
THE REMAINING 70 PERCENT WILL
BE HYBRID OR REMOTE. THE NUMBER
CORONAVIRUS RELATED DEATHS IN
SAN DIEGO COUNTY SURPASSED 400
TODAY. COUNTY LEADERS CONFIRMED
264 NEW INFECTIONS OUT OF JUST
OVER 76 HUNDRED TESTS. THAT'S A
POSITIVE RATE OF ABOUT 3
PERCENT. THE 14 DAY ROLLING
AVERAGE IS NOW AT FIVE POINT
EIGHT PERCENT. THE TOTAL NUMBER
OF CORONA VIRUS CASES IS NOW AT
SEVENTEEN THOUSAND EIGHT
HUNDRED FORTY TWO SEVEN NEW
DEATHS BRINGS THAT TOTAL TO
406. NEWS TO BRANDON LEWIS
JOINS US NOW TO TAKE A LOOK
BEYOND THE NUMBERS CARLO AND
BARBARA BEACH, CALIFORNIA WAS
ONE OF THREE STATES THAT WAS
CALLED OUT BY FEDERAL HEALTH
AUTHORITIES. THE OTHERS BEING
FLORIDA AND TEXAS ALL HAD A
RELATIVELY MODEST GROWTH OF
CORONA VIRUS CASES UNTIL ABOUT
TWO WEEKS AGO. AND THAT'S A
SCENE THAT WE ARE SEEING PLAY
OUT HERE IN SAN DIEGO, A
LONGTIME OF STABILITY. BUT THEN
THIS INCREASE IN THE NUMBER OF
TESTS POSITIVES AND RAPID
INCREASE IN CASES. CALIFORNIA
WAS CALLED OUT BY FEDERAL
HEALTH AUTHORITIES FOR
THE STARK INCREASE IN CORONA
VIRUS CASES. THE MAJORITY OF
THE ISSUE IS IN THE LOS ANGELES
AREA ALTHOUGH WE SEE THIS
THROUGH RIVERSIDE IMPERIAL
SACRAMENTO AND NOW SAN
FRANCISCO WITH INCREASED NUMBER
OF CASES. SAN DIEGO IS NO
EXCEPTION. CASES ARE UP MORE
THAN 24 PERCENT MONDAY TO
MONDAY WITH CASES GROWING
FASTER IN CARLSBAD SOLANA BEACH
AND FALLBROOK. WHILE THE SOUTH
BAY IS HOME TO THE MOST CASES
THEY'RE INCREASING AT OR BELOW
THE COUNTY AVERAGE. IT'S TOO
SOON TO KNOW IF THE NEW
RESTRICTIONS ON BARS AND SOME
INDOOR ACTIVITIES IS HAVING
IMPACT SINCE THE VIRUS CAN
INCUBATE FOR UP TO TWO WEEKS.
BUT THE MEDIAN AGE OF CASES
CONTINUED DECREASING NOW AT 39
YEARS OLD. DOWN FROM 46 TWO
MONTHS AGO WHILE THE MEDIAN AGE
OF DEATHS IS UNCHANGED AT 78.
CRITICS OF POLICIES POINT OUT
THE COUNTY IS DOING MORE
TESTING SO CASES WILL NATURALLY
RISE. BUT WE PERFORMED 15
PERCENT MORE CASES MONDAY TO
MONDAY WHILE CASES ROSE 24
PERCENT. THE SAME GOES FOR A
WEEK EARLIER A 19 PERCENT RISE
IN TESTING WHILE CASES ROSE 25
PERCENT. THE COUNTY SAYS
THE AVERAGE WAIT TO GET A TEST
IS NOW BETWEEN FIVE AND SEVEN
DAYS. SO THEY ARE ADDING
ADDITIONAL TESTING SITES NEXT
WEEK. THE NUMBER OF
HOSPITALIZATIONS AND ICU
ADMISSIONS HAS BEEN RELATIVELY
STABLE OVER THE PAST WEEK. BUT
HEALTH OFFICIALS CONTINUED TO
STRESS THE IMPORTANCE OF
WEARING FACE COVERINGS AND
STAYING INDOORS AND AVOIDING
UNNECESSARY ACTIVITIES. CARLO
AND BARBARA LEE, THANK YOU
BRANDON POWER IS GETTING READY
FOR MORE RESTAURANTS TO START
SERVING CUSTOMERS OUTDOORS.
LAST NIGHT. HOW A CITY COUNCIL
MEMBERS APPROVED THE PURCHASE
OF NEW PICNIC TABLES. THEY
BEGAN TO ARRIVE TODAY. THESE
WERE DELIVERED TO PHILIPPE'S
PIZZA GROTTO. THE CITY'S PLAN
IS TO LEASE THE TABLES TO
BUSINESSES AND ONCE THE STATE
IMPOSED INDOOR DINING
RESTRICTIONS ARE OVER.
THE TABLES WILL BE MOVED TO
LOCAL PARKS. LOCAL RESEARCHERS
SAY THEY FOUND A BIG
BREAKTHROUGH IN THE FIGHT
AGAINST CANCER AND AUTO IMMUNE
DISEASE. THAT STORY IS COMING.
PLUS A LOOK AT A NEW SEAWEED
SPECIES THAT IS
