died in police custody. now police claim that she was not mistreated. this story has far human rights protest not only in iran but elsewhere around the globe. for more on this, we're joined by kartika such a kumar, a political science professor at san jose state university. professor. thank you for taking the time tonight. thank you for having me. protests appear to be crossing into other segments of society. we saw hundreds together in san francisco yesterday. i've seen images out of london. do these protests to you, professor feel different compared to other anti government movements in iran. yes they do. the protests initially where restricted t um , the kurdish dominated cities and the western part of iran because the woman that was killed her name is masa, but her cottage name is actually regina . but the protesters now are more diverse , and there re men joining the protests. there are older people. and the slogan

that they're using is for women for life for freedom, so they're very clearly linking the treatment of women and the restrictions on women's attire to larger social and political issues. and with all these protests taking place around the globe, do you actually foresee professor change? some sort of change in iran? maybe it's maybe it's with the morality police. or maybe it's something bigger. like even the followed the regime will something happen as a result of this movement? the situation in iran, um, is actually quite concerning to the government and we see that they have reacted in a very fierce way. they've used live ammunition. in some cases, they blocked. the internet and social media, for example, has been almost completely blocked, and it's uh, severely censored in some places. so they're clearly taking these protests very seriously. and i think that, uh because of the economic context in which these protests are taking place, because iran has, um suffered a very severe

economic crisis, both as a result of covid and because of the sanctions that have been imposed on it, uh they are more fearful that these protests will spiral out of control. going far beyond women's issues. professor you bring up the government. i'm curious. when does the iranian government actually become vulnerable. i think it has always been very vulnerable. and there have been times when the government has eased up on restrictions on social behavior . so until a couple of years ago these restrictions on the way that women had to avail themselves. they were actually much looser, and we know that when people are forced to go back to stricter, uh, you know regulations that's when they become angry and start protesting. so i think you know the strategy that the government in tehran has adopted for many years. there's now has been to sort of ease up on regulations when they feel that people are getting angry and then sort of

imposed them again. so the current regime, i think, miscalculated about, uh, becoming more harsh in the way that it was enforcing what they call the some morality police on people. you know, i've heard reports that the iranian government blames the united states a little bit here for fueling this movement. if so, um should us government officials be concerned here? no i think that it's very common in iran to blame. you know the western hand and imperialist intervention for all kinds of protests, but it's very clear to me from, you know, viewing the protest that there's genuine, um, anger on the streets of iran. i think it's very, um natural for you know, people of iranian origin who are living outside the country to want to support. um their family and friends back in iran, and it's also very normal for those of us who are maybe not connected in that way to want to support them. um but i don't think this has any real impact on the credibility of the

protests. is the younger generation in iran. is that the loudest voice that you're hearing right now? that's very true. in fact, iran has an extremely young population they have been facing as i mentioned very dire economic situation because of sanctions, but also because iran has been increasingly isolated from the international economy, even though it has you know huge oil reserves, and so the younger people are who are by the way, very educated, you know, iran has one of the most educated populations in the middle east. um they're increasingly frustrated with the government that they feel doesn't satisfy their base. sick needs. well it's a story. we will continue to follow. no doubt, professor sasha kumar. we appreciate the conversation. thank you. thank you. coming up on ktvu news at 6 30. people in florida are bracing for the next hurricane. but the unpredictability of the forecast is making those preparations tricky. also we had a bar that was a neighborhood favorite, has been destroyed in a fire after more than a century

kevin: i've fought wildfires for twenty years. here's the reality face every day. this is a crisis we need more firefighters, more equipment, better forest management to prevent wildfires and reduce toxic smoke. and we need to reduce the tailpipe emissions that are driving changes to our climate. that's why cal fire firefighters, the american lung association, and the california democratic party support prop 30. prevent fires. cut emissions. and cleaner air. yes on 30. i'm karen. i'm living with hiv and i'm on cabenuva. for adults who are undetectable, cabenuva is the only complete, long-acting hiv treatment u can get every other month. it's two injections from a healthcare provider. i really like the flexibility. and for me, it's one less thing to think about while traveling.

don't receive cabenuva if you're allergic to its ingredients or if you taking certain medicines, which may interact with cabenuva. serious side effects include allergic reactions post-injection reactions, liver problems, and depression. if you have a rash and other allergic reaction symptoms, stop cabenuva and get medical help right away. tell your doctor if you have liver problems or mental health concerns, and if you are pregnt, breastfeeding, or considering pregnancy. some of the most common side effects include injection-site reactions, fever, and tiredness. if you switch to cabenuva, attend all treatment appointments. ready to treat your hiv in a different way? ask your doctor about every-other-month cabenuva. with every-other-month cabenuva, i'm good to go. to enforcement powers for doing poorly on psychological exams dating back to 2016. the revelation comes after a recent

even greater as it makes landfall. but right now it's category two. it has the potential and is forecast over the next few days to get up to a category four. that's a big deal. as it gets closer to land to tampa, and for instance, it's going to start to weaken a little bit, which is typical as they hit land. they get a little friction anyway. that's going to be more towards wednesday night into thursday, so we'll watch that closely. it's a it's a big storm. category four is a big storm current temperatures from today 77. not that warm and napa i mean pleasant, perfect, but not that warm for considering the time of year is got a big, deep marine layer. little smoke there. something's going on. that looks white smoke. yeah i'm trying to think where that is. that looks to me like it's over. it's uh i'm sure that you guys are you guys will sit in them. they're probably it's probably a breaking thing. but that smoke to me looks like it's pretty white. i can't tell em in the hills somewhere, okay, we'll get back to that. that's just sort

of did. what happens? you guys is in the control room that they have is. if there's a news event, they make a move to get a camera on it, and that's what was happening, so we'll figure out what that is and get and mike's and julia on that right now. okay. so here is the comma that's coming in that the whole deal with that is just going to keep it going mild. too cool. so we've had a really good run of whether we did that story earlier about how in terms of fire danger we have been really for in terms of fire season. we have been very fortunate this year. the weather has really been driving this better setup for us. so like today, big onshore flow 71 napa 77 conquered cool conditions along the coast that can do these conditions great for air quality helps with whatever smoke was around and really does a number on fire starts. they may start but if they do start they're going to get pushed down pretty quick because of the higher humidities lower temperatures. this is on wednesday. tuesday night into wednesday. and this

is just that law. i just want to show you. how is it comes through. it's going to stretch out the marine layer. and so it's not rain. it's just a low maybe some drizzle with it, but is that's kind of going to keep us on the cool side as the marine layer gets stretched out because of that little calm, i showed you and then you get temperatures like these which is pleasant, really nice fire danger, always a big deal this time of year. but not as bad as it could be. not even close. which is really a wonderful thing right now. especially when you look at a five day on monday, and you go. oh, man, we got a week where we're going to probably not have to talk too much about fire stuff in september. that's a big deal. okay there's a few clouds. that's that system. these are the forecast highs mid eighties. perfect good air quality. like i said, mosquito fire, they get nothing dialed down. this helps up there as well. five day forecasts will see you guys back here. tonight, 10. we'll see you then, bill. thank you. nasa launched the first of its kind mission today that involved a spacecraft crashing into an asteroid. madeline rivera reports on the technique that nasa hopes could be used if a
