robberies, and focus on what he calls a revolving door at the jail. but the san jose police department looked at data over a 14-month period, identified 40 arrestees who had been arrested a minimum of 10 times over that period. one individual, 19 times. >> need all the help we can get, whether it is physical bodies, or changing the law, or changing legislation. what is occurring right now is not working. zach: the city does control the san jose police department. what happens to someone after an arrest falls on the county and courts. accardo says his proposal can bring different stakeholders together. >> obviously a lot of this is work that requires collaboration. zach: the mayor says the proposal still needs to be implement it through the city council, a process he says will take several weeks. in san jose, zach fuentes, abc 7 news. liz: 10 years. that is how long will smith is banned from the academy awards

whether smith could be nominated for an oscar during his band, something that could affect smith's future roles. >> they could create a band for him being nominated, which would , you know, ostensibly have a trickle-down effect on his career, because any oscar film or would be oscar film would probably think twice or three times about casting him, because it would casadei -- it would cast a pal onl the production. ron: the academy also apologized for how it handled the situation. in a statement saying, this was an opportunity -- we fell short, unprepared for the unprecedented. shortly after the academy released its oscar chauvin, smith issued a response.

[laughter] >> i think so. the standard definition is, you have to make it to a certain height. rob: that would be an altitude of 50 miles. the international space station is over 250 miles up, so they will qualify. each visible -- each visitor will have a set of experiments to run, so that is one reason they prefer to not be called tourists. as a gift for their hosts, it will bring up some food prepared by slivered chef jose andres. what can we take from this mission? dick allen says the interest in
