i'm haley winslow fox news. the national guard deployment in washington, d. c. is coming to an end.he assignment expires in just a few hours. and this week the 2200 troops who have been guarding the nation's capital since the january 6th insurrection will return home. most temporary fencing has already been packed up. as for securing the capital going forward, lawmakers are divided on how to do that, would he think the less. secure the capital will would be because we have too hard in the capital. last week, the house narrowly passed a $1.9 billion security supplemental bill. the bill includes money to reimburse the national guard. plus it would harden capital windows and doors provide for it. retractable fencing and create a quick reaction force to step in if a similar event was to happen again. well, the u. s is no longer the only country on mars coming up a look at china's first ever rover on the red planet and what it means for the future of space exploration and warmer temperatures are on the way. it should be around. just bill martin is up next in business, it's never just ano

we spoke with doctor dean winslow from stanford health care. we'll explain why he's on board with the june 15th date. >> it's really good news reflects the fact that california has done very well. i think in terms of mitigating of using physical measures that the risk of transmission as well as having very high vaccination rates are think more than 60% of eligible californians now received at least one dose of the one of the 3 covid-19 vaccine. so i think it's good news. >> doctor winslow also tells us the key to ensuring that the june 15th reopening goes smoothly is to continue pushing pushing evacuate vaccines. and here's a look at where the state vaccination numbers stand this evening. >> more than 35 and a half million shots that have been administered a whole lot of shots and more than 16 million people are fully vaccinated in california and that is up almost 50% of the state's eligible population. so things are moving and happening this weekend the covid vaccine mega site at the oakland coliseum is set to close and it's going to close to

dean winslow says mask also still be needed at many indoor events, even if you're vaccinated. >> it'sffective, and i think until even a much higher percentage of the population that we have now are immunized that we will need to continue to at least wear face masks during indoor gatherings. >> reporter: dr. rutherford agrees masks are in our future. >> i think here we're only talking about mass crowd events, especially those that are indoors, possibly some that are outdoors like baseball games. >> reporter: while herd immunity doesn't eliminate covid concerns, it reduces the likelihood of mass outbreaks and the need for social disruptions like shutdowns. jean elle, "today in the bay." >>> too little, too late. the backlash governor newsom is receiving from his opposition over his new plan to end homelessness in the state. >>> but happening now, pope francis is delighted to resume his weekly general audience with members of the public today. he's been delivering hem virtually the past six months. with covid restrictions the limited number of visitors had their temperatures checked as t

winslow. mr.winslow, typically, when it comes to front setbacks, i'd be looking for 15 feet even if we have a parapet. >> so the guidance given from the residential design guideline, which is specific to building scale in the street front talks about prevailing scale of the height of buildings. that's where a third or fourth-story addition appearing to deviate from an appearing line has several guidelines under that recommendation, one of which is setting it back, and it is recommended at 15 feet, but by no means is that considered a rule contingent on circumstances such as the visibility of that addition, the nature of the width of the street, other buildings that are blocking, you know, the view or the ability to see that addition, and also parapets that can block the building or that addition. in this case, it's virtually impossible to see this addition from a public right of away or from jasper, and that's where we determined that 12 feet was adequate, both from the residential design but from

winslow handled it. they requested a copy of the variance. that is our procedure when variances you need to request a copy of the decision letter. i take it that the jurisdiction requests were made and staff did not send it to them. the variance decision letter we have evidence it was mailed to the project team but not to anyone else. we don't have any -- staff is unable to find sign in sheets from the variance hearings. i don't doubt that the requester is telling the truth here. it does appear there is the possibility that there was an oversight unfortunately and the city did make a mistake here. the associated building permit was issued just last month and appeal to the board of appeals on june 9th. i am available for questions the board may have. >> they said they requested notification. is that a requirement or is that something they requested and you guys provide? >> the decision letter doesn't automatically get sent out to the public. typically someone signs the sign in sheet to request a copy of the decision letter and i believe that t

winslow who is good at resolving the scenarios, if the commission added a condition saying it would be refined based on adjacent neighbors, we easily could accommodate that, understanding the intent is to make sure that the two neighbors talk with each other, there's a lot of solutions that the project could undertake to basically accommodate for that. as long as we're clearly understanding what the goal is of the commission, i feel confident that staff could undertake that. >> i agree with you, but i believe this commission could also witness what that is and actually delay the decision because what you're saying about adding a small space by adding a patio level access to the lower unit may improve the lower unit. i don't want to just hear it in words. i want to see how it is done. the finish grade is way up. this is the light well. so the open space is still in a light well. i would like to see physically for the commission to have the benefit to approve something we're all comfortable with. i hope i have support. which means continuing. i make a motion we continue the project based
