AND, BY VIEWERS LIKE YOU.

THANK YOU.

>>> TONIGHT, CONTROL OF CONGRESS IS UNDECIDED AS VOTE COUNTS CONTINUE ACROSS THE COUNTRY.

WE ARE GETTING A CLEARER PICTURE.

THANKS FOR JOINING US.

I AM MAYA TREBULSI.

THE SENATE IS EVENLY SPLIT WITH THREE RACES UNDECIDED AND SO FAR, NO PARTY HAS CLAIMED CONTROL OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.

WE JUST GOT THE LATEST NUMBERS FROM THE SAN DIEGO COUNTY REGISTRAR OF VOTERS.

WE HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THAT AND WE ARE CHECKING IN ON ONE OF THE RACES THAT HAS BEEN TOO CLOSE TO CALL AND ANOTHER ONE THAT WILL BE MAKING HISTORY AND THAT IS KITTY ALVARADO, JOINING US LIVE FROM THE ELECTION CENTER WITH MORE INFORMATION.

WHAT CAN YOU TELL US?

>> Reporter: THAT COUNTS JUST DROPPED SECONDS AGO.

THAT COULD CHANGE THE BALANCE OF POWER AND THAT IS IN THE 49th CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICTS BETWEEN DEMOCRAT MIKE LEVEN AND REPUBLICAN, BRIAN MARRIOTT.

RIGHT NOW, LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT THE LATEST NUMBERS.

MIKE LEVEN HAS 51.1% OF THE VOTE, AND REPUBLICAN MARRIOTT HAS 48.9% OF THE VOTE.

JUST LAST WEEK, PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN CAME TO RALLY FOR LEVEN.

IT LOOKS LIKE IT DID WORK AND WE DID SPEAK WITH UC SAN DIEGO POLITICAL SCIENCE PROFESSORS ABOUT THE VOTES AND THE IMPACT IT HAS HAD IN THIS DISTRICT.

TAKE A LOOK.

>> MIKE LEVEN WAS BUOYED IN 2018, BY YOUNG VOTERS AROUND THE AREA.

THIS YEAR, THE NEW DISTRICT WAS DRAWN AND IT SHIFTED THE JEFF RICK BOUNDARIES, SO HE LOST A LOT OF THAT YOUTH VOTE.

THAT WAS PART OF WHY HE IS FACING THE POLITICAL FIGHT OF HIS LIFE AND HIS CAREER.

>> Reporter: THOSE ARE JUST LOCAL NUMBERS.

WE STILL HAVE TO WAIT FOR STATE NUMBERS.

HE SAYS THAT WE DO HAVE TO BE PATIENT WITH DEMOCRACY AND WE HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL EVERY LAST VOTE IS COUNTED BEFORE DRAWING ANY CONCLUSIONS.

LET'S GO TO THE SHERIFF'S RACE BETWEEN KELLY MARTINEZ AND FORMER SAN DIEGO PROSECUTOR, JOHN HUMBLING AND AS OF THE LAST VOTE COUNT, MARTINEZ HAD A VERY COMFORTABLE LEAD AND LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT THE LATEST NUMBERS NOW.

MARTINEZ HAS 57.1% OF THE VOTE AND HAMMER LINK HAS 42.9% OF THE VOTE AND IF THAT STILL HOLDS, MARTINEZ COULD BECOME THE FIRST FEMALE SHERIFF IN NEARLY THE 200 YEAR HISTORY OF THE SAN DIEGO COUNTY SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT.

THAT IS VERY EXCITING FOR HER.

SHE STILL HAS A VERY COMFORTABLE LEAD.

COMING UP IN A FEW MINUTES WE WILL TAKE A LOOK AT A RACE THAT THE SOUTH BAY IS EXCITED ABOUT, AS WELL AS A BALLOT MEASURE THAT COULD HAVE A BIG IMPACT ON SAN DIEGO'S.

BACK TO YOU.

>>> HOW CAN WE GET MORE AFFORDABLE HOUSING IN SAN DIEGO?

THE CITY'S INDEPENDENT BUDGET ANALYST HAS PUT OUT A NEW REPORT WITH A LOT OF IDEAS ABOUT HOW.

JACOB AIR WILL BREAK IT DOWN FOR US.

>> IT'S NO SECRET THAT SAN DIEGO AND ALL OF CALIFORNIA HAS AN AFFORDABLE HOUSING CRISIS.

RENT IN THE REGION IS NEAR ALL- TIME HIGHS AND INFLATION IS AFFECTING THE COST OF EVERYDAY NECESSITIES.

A SAN DIEGO DIRECTOR SAYS THAT'S PUSHING MANY SAN DIEGO'S OVER THE EDGE.

>> IT'S EXTREMELY DIFFICULT.

MOST PEOPLE ARE PAYING OVER HALF OF THEIR INCOME AND RENTS, AND THERE ARE VERY FEW PROTECTIONS AGAINST EVICTION.

IF THEY ARE EVICTED FROM THEIR RESIDENCE, IT'S DIFFICULT TO FIND A NEW PLACE.

>> Reporter: THERE ARE EFFORTS UNDERWAY TO COMBAT THE ISSUE WITH A REPORT FROM THE CITY'S INDEPENDENT BUDGET ANALYST.

26 PAGES ON HOW TO IMPROVE HOUSING AFFORDABILITY.

IT SUGGEST PERMITTING AND FINANCING.

>> THE MAGNITUDE IS SO GREAT THAT NOT JUST ONE THING IS GOING TO SOLVE THE ISSUE, SO THE MORE THAT THE CITY CAN STREAMLINE A LOOK AT ITS OWN PROCESSES AND MAKE THEM BETTER, I THINK THE BETTER WE CAN HAVE AN IMPACT ON HOUSING AFFORDABILITY.

>> Reporter: SHAWNEE LOGAN VERRETT WAS ONE OF THREE COUNCILMEMBERS REQUESTED THE ANALYSIS AND SAYS IT'S A STEP THAT COULD EVENTUALLY LEAD TO CHANGES AND INVESTMENTS TO GET MORE HOUSING BUILT IN SAN DIEGO.

>> STREAMLINING, THROUGH CHANGES TO RULES AND REGULATIONS, PROGRAMS TO MAKE HOUSING MORE AFFORDABLE.

>> Reporter: USES THE NEXT STEP IS FOR THE CITY COUNCIL TO DIGEST THE REPORT WHILE THE OFFICE AWAITS A RESPONSE.

THAT COULD INCLUDE PRESENTATIONS TO THE COUNCIL, FOR FURTHER GUIDANCE ON THE REGIONS HOUSING STRUGGLES.

KPBS NEWS.

THEY WILL ALSO SEE AN INCREASE BETWEEN 100 AND HUNDRED AND $84 IN THE NEXT COUPLE YEARS AND ACCORDING TO THE REPORT, THE CURRENT AVERAGE RENT IN SAN DIEGO COUNTY IS JUST OVER $2300.

>>> WELCOME NEWS TO TALK ABOUT.

INFLATION CALLED MORE THAN EXPECTED.

IT HAS IGNITED HOPES THAT THE BIG INTEREST RATE HIKES MIGHT BE IN THE REARVIEW MIRROR.

ANALYSTS SAY THERE ARE STILL CAUSES FOR CONCERN.

WE WILL BREAK IT DOWN.

>> Reporter: THE HEADLINE , "BETTER-THAN-EXPECTED NEWS ON INFLATION AS THE RATE OF PRICE INCREASES IS STILL FALLING FROM A FOUR DECADE HIGH.

NEW DATA FROM THE U.S. BUREAU OF LABOR STATISTICS SHOWS THE HIGHER PRICES WE ARE PAYING FOR EVERYDAY ITEMS SLOWED FURTHER LAST MONTH, DROPPING FROM THE PEAK IN JUNE.

AN ECONOMIC ANALYST SAYS AMERICAN FINANCES ARE STRONG.

>> WE HAVE A REPORT THAT SAYS INFLATION IS STARTING TO DAMPEN.

THAT COULD BE GAME CHANGING FOR THE MARKETS AND THE AMERICAN PUBLIC IN THE NEXT COUPLE YEARS.

BUT ANALYSTS KNOW THAT PRICES IN CRUCIAL AREAS REMAIN HIGHER THAN LAST YEAR.

PEOPLE ARE FEELING THE PINCH.

>> IT'S TROUBLING THAT THE AREAS WHERE WE ARE SEEING THE LARGEST AND MOST CONSISTENT INCREASES ARE CATEGORIES THAT ARE ABSOLUTE NECESSITIES.

FOOD, ENERGY, SHELTER.

>> Reporter: FOOD IS GETTING MORE EXPENSIVE, AT A SLOWER PACE THAN EARLIER THIS YEAR.

THERE IS ALSO A RENEWED THREAT OF A RAIL STRIKE IN DECEMBER, WHICH COULD CRIPPLE THE SUPPLY CHAIN.

>> WE HAVE RENEWED DISRUPTIONS AND THAT IS GOING TO ADD ANOTHER ELEMENT OF PRICE PRESSURE THAT WILL PUSH PRICES HIGHER OR KEEP THEM FROM FALLING LIKE WE WOULD LIKE.

>> Reporter: COULD THIS PREVIEW THE END OF BIG INTEREST RATE HIKES?

>> WE NEED TO SEE A SUSTAINED MODERATION IN INFLATION PRESSURES.

WE NEED A LONG STREAK.

THEY MAKE THEIR NEXT RATE HIKE DECISION ON DECEMBER 14th.

>> Reporter: KPBS NEWS.

>>> LET'S START WITH YOUR WEATHER HEADLINES.

WE ARE GETTING DRIER, WE ARE GETTING WARMER AS WE HAD THROUGHOUT FRIDAY.

A STORM SYSTEM TO THE NORTH IS MOVING IN ON SUNDAY AND IT WILL IMPACT OUR WEATHER.

IT WILL BRING THE COOLER TEMPERATURES AND THE WIND IS GUSTY AT TIMES HER HEAD UP FOR ANOTHER CHANGE.

TONIGHT IS CHILLY IN OCEANSIDE, 39, SAN DIEGO TO 47.

CHULA VISTA IS DOWN TO 45, BORREGO SPRINGS IS ABOUT 42 POINT MOUNT LAGUNA IS 44 OVERNIGHT.

INTO OUR DAY FRIDAY, WE WILL STAY DRY.

IT WILL BE A LITTLE BIT MORE COOL BUT WE WILL SEE TEMPERATURES UP A FEW DEGREES COMPARED TO WHERE WE WERE TODAY AND AS WE HEAD INTO FRIDAY, WE KEEP THE SUNSHINE AROUND, 70 DEGREES FOR SAN DIEGO AND OCEANSIDE, BRIGHAM SPRINGS, 72 AND WE ARE STILL IN THE MID-50s FOR MOUNT LAGUNA ON OUR FRIDAY.

SATURDAY, WE MENTIONED THE STORM SYSTEM MOVING INTO THE NORTH.

YOU WILL SEE SHOWERS IN READING AND RENO.

IT'LL BE A LITTLE MILDER WITH THAT HIGH-PRESSURE IN CONTROL AND THAT WOULD KICK UP THE ONSHORE FLOW, THE COASTAL BREEZE AND EVENTUALLY THAT WILL GET PRETTY GUSTY AS WE HEAD INTO OUR WEEKEND AND INTO NEXT WEEK.

WHAT IS IT LOOK LIKE FOR THE FIVE DAY OUTLOOK?

70s FOR FRIDAY AND A LITTLE BIT COOLER WITH TEMPERATURES IN THE UPPER 60s FOR THE WEEKEND.

NEXT WEEK WE ARE IN THOSE UPPER 60s.

YOUR FORECAST FOR THE INLAND VALLEY'S IS IN THE 70s FRIDAY, UPPER 60s SATURDAY, AND IT DOES TURN COOLER BY SUNDAY WITH TEMPERATURES IN THE MID 60s.

THAT COOL AIR LINGERS MONDAY AND WE ARE BACK TO THE 70s.

FOR THE MOUNTAINS, WE HAVE THESE TEMPERATURES IN THE 40s WITH THE WIND ON SUNDAY AND BACK TO THE 50s BY THE START OF NEXT WEEK.

THE FINAL FIVE DAY OUTLOOK TAKES US TO THE DESERT WERE TEMPERATURES WILL STAY CONSISTENT INTO THE LOW 70s AS WE HEAD INTO THE WEEKEND AND NEXT WEEK.

>>> EVERY VOTE COUNTS AND IS ESPECIALLY TRUE IN A FEW LOCAL RACES WITH RAZOR THIN MARGINS.

KITTY ALVARADO WILL JOIN US LIVE WITH RESULTS FROM THE LATEST VOTE COUNT.

>> Reporter: IT'S NOT JUST CANDIDATES THAT SAN DIEGO'S ARE WAITING FOR RESULTS ON, THEY ARE ALSO WAITING FOR RESULTS ON PROPOSITIONS AND AMONG THEM, CHANGES TO THE PEOPLE'S ORDINANCE AND IF IT PASSES FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 100 YEARS, SINGLE-FAMILY HOMEOWNERS IN SAN DIEGO WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR TRASH PICKUP.

BEFORE TODAY'S UPDATE, IT WAS FAILING, BUT IT WAS CLOSE AND NOW, LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT THE NEW NUMBERS.

IT IS STILL FAILING BY 50.73% OF THE VOTE.

THE COUNCIL PRESIDENT MADE A STRONG CASE FOR THE MEASURE, SAYING THAT TRASH PICKUP REALLY WAS NOT FREE, IT COMES OUT OF THE GENERAL FUND AND HE SAID, FOR HALF OF THE RESIDENTS TO GET THAT PICK UP THE COST TAXPAYERS MILLIONS.

ANOTHER CLOSE RACE IS MEASURE C, EXCLUDING THE MIDWAY DISTRICT FROM THE CITY'S 30 FOOT HEIGHT LIMIT.

THE MEASURE WAS PASSING BY A SLIM MARGIN FOR THE UPDATE AND NOW, THAT IS STILL THE CASE, WITH 50.24% OF THE VOTES.

SUPPORTERS OF THE MEASURE SAY IT'S CRITICAL FOR REVITALIZATION AND MUCH-NEEDED HOUSING CRITICS SAY WILL MAKE TRAFFIC WORSE.

ANOTHER RACE WE HAVE BEEN FOLLOWING IS FOR THE CHULA VISTA CITY ATTORNEY.

EARLY RESULTS SHOWED A SLIGHT LEAD FOR THE DEMOCRAT, SIMON SILVA, WHO DIED OF CANCER IN SEPTEMBER.

REPUBLICAN, DAN SMITH, WAS TRAILING SILVA BY JUST A POINT AND NOW, IN THE LATEST UPDATE, SILVA IS STILL AHEAD WITH JUST OVER 50% OF THE VOTE.

50.2% OF THE VOTE.

THE CHULA VISTA CITY CLERK SAID THAT IF SILVA WINS, THEY WILL BE FORCED TO HOLD A SPECIAL ELECTION TO FILL THE POSITION IN 2023.

THE REGISTRAR'S OFFICE TELLS ME THAT THEY WILL NOW UPDATE THE NUMBERS ONCE A DAY AND THE RESULTS WILL REMAIN UNOFFICIAL UNTIL DECEMBER 8th AND YOU CAN FIND MORE RESULTS ON OUR WEBSITE, KPBS.ORG.

LIVE IN THE ELECTION CENTER, KITTY ALVARADO, KPBS NEWS.

>> THANK YOU PAID >>> THE "BLACK PANTHER" SEQUEL FACED A TRAGEDY WHEN IT STAR UNEXPECTEDLY DIED OF COLON CANCER IN 2020.

THERE WAS NO WAY TO REPLACE HIM, SO THE FRANCHISE HAD TO PIVOTS.

OUR FILM CRITIC HAS THIS REVIEW OF THE LATEST FILM, "BLACK PANTHER: WAKANDA FOREVER".

>> Reporter: A "BLACK PANTHER" SEQUEL WITH CHADWICK BOSEMAN WOULD HAVE BEEN A DIFFERENT AND PROBABLY BETTER FILM THAN "BLACK PANTHER: WAKANDA FOREVER", WHICH FEELS COBBLED TOGETHER FOR DIFFERENT RESCUE PLANS TO DELIVER A PRODUCT ON TIME.

IN THE FIRST FILM, ROSEMAN AND MICHAEL B JORDAN GAVE A FLAWED NOBLE HERO AND NEMESIS WHO IS GENUINELY SYMPATHETIC.

NOW, WRITER AND DIRECTOR RYAN COOPER TRIES TO DELIVER A PARALLEL DYNAMIC BETWEEN THESE CHARACTERS, SHURI AND A NEW CHARACTER.

FOR A BRIEF MOMENT, HE SUCCEEDS.

SADLY, IT DEMANDS SOMETHING EPIC AND CGI FOR THE THIRD ACT AND THAT IS WHERE THE FILM FLOUNDERS.

I'M NOT SURE WHY TWO NATIONS OF COLOR HAVE TO FIGHT EACH OTHER, SACRIFICING THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE FOR CONTRIVED REASONS RATHER THAN FIGHT FORCES TO FIGHT THE COLONIZERS.

"BLACK PANTHER: WAKANDA FOREVER" PAYS TRIBUTE TO THE PASSING OF ITS TITLE CHARACTER, A MAN THAT ALSO ACKNOWLEDGES THE REAL-LIFE LOSS OF BOZEMAN.

BUT, IT'S A SEQUEL THAT FALL SHORT OF ITS ORIGINAL.
