WATCH: A troubling video released by L.A. City Council President Paul Krekorian appears to show Burbank police officers dropping off a shoeless, injured homeless man on a Los Angeles sidewalk before driving away.

The footage, captured by a security camera, was presented by Krekorian in a news conference, where he expressed his outrage over the officers' actions and called for answers.

Burbank Mayor Nick Schultz responded that the city takes the complaints seriously and is gathering facts.

The man, who had recently been hospitalized, was found by Krekorian's staff later that day and provided medical attention.

Krekorian has urged for an investigation to ensure such incidents do not repeat.

Ever imagined drinking a sunscreen-inspired smoothie? LA's luxury grocery store, Erewhon, makes it possible with their new collaboration with Vacation brand.

The "Sunscreen Smoothie" combines organic coconut, banana, Tahitian Vanilla Syrup, Aloe, and Sea Salt to replicate the scent of Vacation’s Classic SPF 30 Lotion without the sun protection.

This creative twist marks a departure from Erewhon's celebrity smoothie trend. Vacation clarifies, "While inspired by the 'World’s Best-Smelling Sunscreen' scent, this smoothie does not protect your skin from the sun."

Erewhon’s previous successful celebrity collaborations include Hailey Bieber and Bella Hadid.

Available in all locations, the smoothie is free for Erewhon members until June 14th or $9 for non-members.

A Scottish woman, Fiona Harvey, has filed a $170 million lawsuit against Netflix and creator Richard Gadd.

Harvey claims the character "Martha" in the hit series "Baby Reindeer" is based on her and has caused severe emotional distress.

Harvey alleges the portrayal of Martha as a "twice convicted stalker" is false and misleading. Despite Netflix's defense, Harvey says the show's depiction has led to online harassment and emotional turmoil.

She emphasizes that Gadd's real-life history was intentionally distorted to create a sensational story.

Netflix maintains its right to tell Gadd's story and will defend the lawsuit vigorously.

Three Jewish students at UCLA have filed a lawsuit against the university's officials and regents, accusing them of fostering an environment where anti-Semitic behavior goes unchecked.

The lawsuit highlights instances of discrimination including calls for the annihilation of Jewish people, visible N**i symbols, and religious slurs on campus, which the plaintiffs allege the administration ignored.

The students claim that pro-Palestinian activists created a "Jew Exclusion Zone" on campus, effectively barring them from accessing key areas unless they pledged allegiance to activists' views.

This segregation severely affected their ability to attend classes and study for finals.

L.A. County Board of Supervisors has advanced a proposal capping annual rent hikes to 3% for many landlords in unincorporated areas, aiming to protect renters from significant increases.

This move, supported by Supervisor Holly Mitchell, is seen as a measure to keep housing affordable amidst rising living costs. Small property owners could hike rents by up to 4%, while luxury units face a 5% cap.

The decision, passed 3 to 2, follows years of rent stabilization talks heightened by the pandemic. Opponents argue it burdens small landlords and might push them towards selling to corporate entities, exacerbating the housing crisis.

A final vote is pending to formalize the changes.

With the overturn of Roe v. Wade significantly limiting women's reproductive rights, a new male birth control drug is heralding a potential shift. The drug, a combination of testosterone and the synthetic hormone Nestorone, was recently found to reduce s***m production effectively in clinical trials.

Medical experts are optimistic about it becoming an additional means of reducing unplanned pregnancies. However, the drug, which is applied as a clear gel to the shoulders, must still gain FDA approval.

The cultural stigma and online misinformation could pose challenges to its widespread acceptance.

LATEST: Earth has experienced a historic year-long streak of surging temperatures, setting an alarming new record for heat. Data shows that over the past 12 months, global temperatures averaged 1.6°C (2.9°F) above preindustrial levels, a threshold beyond what was agreed upon in the 2015 Paris Agreement.

Scientists highlight that this extraordinary warming is primarily driven by human activity and the El Niño climate pattern.

With predictions indicating an 86% chance of similar heat levels in at least one of the next five years, the urgency for climate action escalates.

Global leaders, including U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres, continue to call for a ban on fossil fuel advertisements and increased investment in clean energy to stave off climate disasters.

The Los Angeles Lakers are focusing their head coach search on former NBA player and broadcaster JJ Redick, according to NBA reporter Shams Charania.

Although no final decision has been made, indications suggest Redick is the top candidate after a search triggered by the firing of Darvin Ham.

The Lakers have also considered New Orleans Pelicans associate head coach James Borrego, but Redick's strong basketball pedigree seems to make him the frontrunner.

Redick's decorated basketball career includes being Duke’s all-time leading scorer and earning a reputation as one of the NBA’s best shooters.

Despite lacking coaching experience beyond youth levels, Redick's relationship with Lakers star LeBron James and his career as an ESPN analyst make him an intriguing choice.

An official decision will likely come after the NBA Finals, where Redick is part of the broadcast team.
