It's essentially a political document, saying, if I could have my way, if I could spend the government's money the way I really like to, this is what I would do. This is what I would prioritize. This is how I would tackle things like the deficit. This is how much money I'd give to The Pentagon and the other agencies. But it's in essence immediately dead on arrival on Capitol Hill, which of course is divided evenly now between Republicans and Democrats. Congress is also dealing with something far less routine. A huge breach of a Washington medical insurance database, more on that from CBS as I could actually.

The White House is ordering all federal agencies to wipe the app from government devices. The FBI is offering up to $50,000 for the return of four Americans who were kidnapped in Mexico on Friday. The FBI San Antonio office says a minivan with North Carolina plates drove into Matamoros on Friday and was fired on by unidentified gunmen, all four Americans were placed in another vehicle and driven away by the suspects. The governors of Florida and California continue to taunt each other, Phil Hewlett explains Florida governor Ron DeSantis was in California over the weekend to deliver a speech at the Ronald Reagan presidential library, speaking to a sold out crowd desantis said, leftist politicians and their policies are causing Californians to leave in droves and land in Florida, where desantis said they can enjoy a life of freedom.

Well, at the bottom of the hour, we'll have a policy decision from the reserve bank of Australia. We have a preview from Bloomberg's annabelle drillers. Australia's Central Bank is set to raise interest rates for a tenth straight meeting. All economists in our survey expect the RBA to hike its cash rate by a quarter percentage point to 3.6%. That would be to a level not seen since May of 2012. Australian policymakers are grappling with elevated inflation slowing growth and rising unemployment. Traders will be focused on whether RBA governor Philip Lowe continues with his guidance of further hikes ahead. Lois struggled to maintain a consistent message. The RBA considered a pause in December and turned hawkish in February following strong consumer price data. Now money markets are pricing a peak rate of 4.2% this year, suggesting at least three more quarter point hikes to come. That is Bloomberg's annabelle rulers. Well, tomorrow in the U.S. fed chair Jay Powell will likely offer a clues on the path of U.S. rate hikes as he testifies before Congress, Bloomberg's Michael McKee has a preview. Timing is everything and the fed chair doesn't seem to have it. Officials have been saying they are data dependent, yet three of the biggest data releases that will influence the fed's decisions don't come until after he testifies Tuesday and Wednesday. Powell is likely to point out the labor market remains very tight. A judgment they hang on the jolts report out Wednesday. Fed officials have forecast job growth will slow and unemployment rise as rates go up, but the jobs numbers are out until Friday. Of course, their focus is on inflation, but the latest data on consumer prices don't come out until next week. Given that, Powell is likely to stick to the fed's working script, rates still need to go higher and stay up longer, but he won't be able to tell Congress how high or how long. Bloomberg's Michael McKee there, while in China, president Xi Jinping is urging the country's private sector to strengthen innovation.

"Of our community, a very small fraction of our community who, actually they're not going to get vaccinated. They've already told us. They don't believe in vaccines, so we're not going to encourage anyone else to get vaccinated by not moving forward with this convenient cutting edge opportunity. Supervisor. Foley said People who are worried about being tracked should just turn off their cellphones because many other platforms and APS do much more harm than good when it comes to privacy. And more vaccine news. Many counties in Southern California and the Bay Area have already given at least one dose of the cove in 19 vaccine to more than 70% of the eligible population. In fact, more than 85% of Marin County residents who are 16 and older have gotten at least one shot. That's not the story in some of the more rural counties in the state, which are lagging well behind and getting people vaccinated. Michelle Schmidt is supervising public health nurse in tow him a county where just over 20% of people 16 and older are fully vaccinated, she tells the California report. Despite those numbers, the county's making every effort to get shots out to the public. We've offered. You know the vaccine early in the morning fancied starting at 7 30 in the morning and we've had clinics all the way going till seven o'clock at night a swell as we've offered them on Saturday. So I think from that standpoint of having that availability for multiple days and hours, we've definitely tried to provide that for our community. I think there's just individuals that just don't want to get the vaccine. It says Educating the public can also be a challenge. I think sometimes folks believe more on Facebook than they do. Public health officials. So that's been an interesting endeavor and trying to address those concerns in a scientific manner, she says To him, a county is working on more mobile clinics to make doses more available. And turning to L. A Los Angeles County continues to make progress in vaccinating and presidents. But L A public health director Barbara Ferrer says it could take slightly longer to reach a point of so called herd immunity. We have probably over two million more first doses to go before 80% of all L, a County residents, 16 and older Will have received at least one vaccine at the Rayburn going. We expect that we couldn't reach this level somewhere and live to late July. Ferrer noted that this would depend on the county continuing at the vaccination rate It's currently at which is giving 400,000 doses a week. He says. Improving vaccination rates and communities of color is where the county is focusing. Most of its efforts on Lee 38% of black residents and 42% of Latino residents in L. A county have received at least one dose of the vaccine. Another pandemic news. Two more counties in California have moved to the least restrictive yellow tear when it comes to reopening covert 19 numbers have improved in both San Matteo and Mona counties, allowing more places there to reopen with higher capacity limits. Madera County is also moved from the red here to the less restrictive orange Here on Lee, nine California counties remain in the Reds here as we approached June 15th..

"Sunshine after some fog and clouds upper fifties to the low nineties inland Today, Bay Area Sacramento Valley High's 91 to 97. Right now. 5 51. Good morning. This is the California report. I'm Saul Gonzalez in Los Angeles, California Health officials say the Fizer vaccine could be available for 12 to 15 year olds as early as tomorrow. This comes after the Food and Drug Administration authorized the shots for adolescents earlier this week, KQED Health reporter Lesley McClurg explains. Even though you are a lot less likely to get a serious case of cove in it's still possible and lessen some teens have died from the virus. That's why state officials are urging you to get their shots, so it's great that our kids and our teams will be able to join. Your grand parents, their parents and loved ones, their older siblings and getting vaccinated. The more vaccines we can get into arms of eligible Californians, the more we can stop the spread. That state epidemiologist Dr Eric Upon In a few days, you can sign up for appointments through the website, my turn or through a pediatrician. Parental consent is required. In most cases for anyone under age. 18 shots will be administered at Mass vac sites, pharmacies and doctors offices. Some adolescents will experience side effects like fatigue and headaches for the California report. I'm Lesley McClurg. Now. While many parents support their younger Children getting the vaccine, others may still be skeptical. So we called up a person who's uniquely qualified to walk us through the process of getting Children vaccinated. He state Senator Richard Pan, who's also a pediatrician, and led the effort to tighten California's childhood immunization law. The first thing we asked Senator Pan, why is it important for younger Children to get the shot? Well, it's very important for parents to get their adolescence vaccinated against coveted. It gives your teenagers freedom, freedom from the fear of being infected with this virus, which, while less serious for younger people. Still can have very significant long term effects. We've seen this in teenagers and even Children. It gives them freedom to go about their lives less likely to not only catch the virus but also to transmit it and give it to other people. Yeah, I have talked to physicians who have told me that It's not so much that this particular age range is in peril when it comes to getting very sick from coded, But they are great when it comes to transmitting cove it on to others. Is that correct? Oftentimes when we talk about how serious Cove it is, is correct that it is seniors who are most likely to die from coveted who are more likely to get Much sicker with coded But it is not unheard of for teenagers to catch Cho bed and developed long term effects from Covina and even a small number of teenagers have died from coded So there is a safety issue for teenagers themselves. But what's even more important is that we want to reduce the transmission of this virus in our community overall and again, speaking as much as a physician, then state legislator What do you say toe parents who might have second thoughts might be concerned about this vaccination for their younger Children. Oh, please talk to your doctor and other trusted sources of information. If you have questions, it is important. You get your questions answered, and we want to answer them with accurate information in fax. Also be a little suspicious about things you hear on the Internet on your social media feed, so please talk to trusted sources of information about the vaccine. How it can protect your child in your family and also what the risks are of which are quite minimal. But there are some risks with the vaccine. Any thoughts about vaccination shaming out there and how it effects. Younger people in teens and Children. And I'm thinking of, you know, perhaps Children who haven't been vaccinated yet and might encounter blowback from friends, the wider community. What's really important is that people have the opportunity to get active information and then Equally important as people actually have the operative to get access to the vaccine. We need to keep in mind that there are people still out there who want the vaccine but have not gotten it because it's not been as accessible to them. They may have transportation issues. They have other reasons why it's hard for them to get to a vaccination site. And so we need to figure out how to get the vaccines to them. And so we were talking about vaccination or teenagers. Certainly we wanted a vaccines available to them at a vaccination sites at doctor's offices and pharmacies, But we also want to try to bring the vaccines to them. And that's why we're also talking about how do we get vaccines to schools where the teenagers are and then eventually for the younger kids, also the elementary schools and other schools. Middle schools so that we can make the vaccines available to all the parents who want their Children protected. All right, that is a pediatrician and state Senator Richard Pan of Sacramento Senator Thanks so much. Thank you so much for having me another pandemic News. Two more counties in California have moved to the least restrictive yellow tear when it comes to reopening Cove in 19 numbers have improved in both San Matteo and Mono counties, allowing more places there to reopen with higher capacity limits. Madera County has also moved from the red here. The less restrictive orange tear on Lee. Nine California counties remain in the red here as we approached June 15th. That's Governor Newsome's target date for fully re opening the state. And saying he wants to get something done. Governor Newsome has proposed spending $12 billion over the next two years to tackle the state's Holmes. This crisis more than $8 billion will go towards expanding the state's project home Key program. It buys motels, hotels and bacon apartment buildings and turning them into housing for the homeless. Speaking in San Diego yesterday, Newsome says one goal is ending family homelessness in California in five years to dress all Needs of that population, but again with the urgency of the immediacy to move these dollars out, so that process starts with some very significant Engagement from the front and not just waiting on the back, and Newsome says his plan would place up to 65,000 people in housing and create 46,000 new housing units in the state.
