when you break it down it signals the police have ramped up their efforts with respect to arresting drug dealers. prior to that what we were seeing were drug dealers not being held accountable whatsoever. >> you think judges are not doing their job? who is failing san francisco? >> we have filed over 100 motions to detain in drug dealing cases but only had somewhere under 20 of those be granted. judges are refusing to make sure these individuals stay in custody and that has to change. reporter: before you took office 50 people died a micron san francisco every month from a drug overdose. after you took office that increased to almost 60 people a month. the first five months of this year it is looking worse, almost 70 people are dying in our streets from a drug overdose. are you doing enough? >> that is why our work must continue but what i will not do is accept that all of that falls on me. we have public health that needs to be doing more outreach to make sure we are getting people

for 10 minutes under these conditions, 90 degrees can translate to 120 inside your car. seek shade for parking your car. i will have the seven-day forecast later. karina: thank you. officials with california's natural resources agencies say heat events like the one arriving friday are becoming more dangerous as our climate changes. wild fires, flooding, and coastal erosion are all affected by the warming planet. experts say high temperatures are the most dangerous for public health. >> extreme heat may be the most destructive towards public health and mortality of any of these climate driven impacts. karina: east bay fire officials will be monitoring vegetation in the hills over the weekend as the fire conditions worsen. dan: the state nonprofit that oversees the electric grid

we are thousands of dollars under everybody else. there must be a reason for that. even after a five-year increase. we are still going to be under everybody else. reporter: downplaying the potential increase on students is out of touch and hopes that funding can come from other places. >> continuing as we have done to lobby the state for additional funding to look toward the federal government for some additional revenue and focus that issue a little harder. looking for private or philanthropic dollars on a campus by campus basis. reporter: the board of trustees will vote in september. karina: california state university named mildred garcia is the newest chancellor. she will be the first latina to lead the campus system. garcia currently serves as president of the american association of state colleges and universities. before that she served as president of two csu schools, cal state fullerton and cal state dominguez hills. dan: coming up, economic
