and the general rule for noncomplying structures is that if you voluntarily raise a noncomplying structure, you can only put it back in accordance with the current rules. even if you've had that fence there since 1900, if you want to take it down and put it back, you would not be able to put it back in the same manner. >> the building code says essentially the same thing. if you remove a building, you have to replace it with something that complies with today's rules. which allows you to maintain the building in accordance with the code. >> the rule is if you do less than 50%, it's considered maintenance. if you do e the line and it's a new structure. that is the general practice. the idea is you can maintain a noncomplying structure, the house or fence, whatever, forever. >> in fact, there is a state law in the health and safety code, 17 950 something, that says no city may adopt any legislation that prohibits people from maintaining their property in accordance with its original legal construction. so we are required to let people maintain their property, reconstruct and repair it accord

relentlessly lambasted the religious freedom of hardworking americans, threatening ruinous fines for noncompliance. and again companies such as hobby lobby, a well-known arts and crafts store that started out just as one single store,

and this resolution reserves measures under chapter 17 case of noncompliance, we believe it is the task of the entire international community to encourage and prompt implementation of this resolution. resolution 2118 is focused on the elimination of chemical weapons in syria, the international community can afford to allow impunity and stipulated in the resolution, the security council must -- those responsible for the use of chemical weapons are held accountable. the security council remains focused on the broader role of reserving the crisis, continuing over 2 years. and important provisions of today's resolution for convening in syria to implement the geneva communique. the republic of korea sincerely hope this conference will be convened as soon as possible with a view to put an end to the tragic suffering of the syrian people and stability by the syrian situation. >> i give the floor to his excellency, the minister for foreign affairs of the people's republic of china. >> translator: mr presidents, the issue of syria is not the top concern of the international community. 4 two year

in the event of noncompliance, we have committed to impose measures under chapter 7 within the u.n. security council. ultimately, perhaps more so than anywhere in the world, actions will matter more than words. in a case of the assad regime, president reagan's old adage about trust but verify, that is a need of an update. we have committed here to a standard that says, verify and verify. but i also want to be clear about the end game here. if we can join together and make this framework a success and eliminate syria's chemical weapons, we would not only save lives but we would reduce the threat to the region and reinforce an international standard, an international norm. we could also lay the groundwork for further cooperation that is essential to end the bloodshed that has consumed syria for more than two years. what we agreed on here today could conceivably by the first critical, concrete step in that direction. the united states and russia have long agreed that there is no military solution to the conflict in syria. it has to be political. it has to happen at the negotiating tabl

in fact, it does say in very clear cut terms that if there is noncompliance on the part of the syriansthere will be action taken under chapter 7 of the united nations charter. chapter 7 is the only chapter of the charter that calls for and allows for enforcement action. obviously in any circumstance we would need to come back to the security council if we sought multilateral endorsement of such enforcement action and in the circumstances have a negotiation about that what that action ought to be. it's very significant that this strong and binding resolution, which holds syria to the obligations that the united states and russia negotiated in geneva will in fact envision explicitly further consequences in the case of noncompliance. that was a very strong element of the resolution that was negotiated by secretary kerry with the russian foreign minister going back to geneva a couple weeks ago. >> inherent in this resolution is the necessity for president assad to be a partner in the sense that he'll have to implement this resolution and cooperate with the u.n. inspectors and yet the posit

chapter, do you think that military strikes would be an appropriate response to noncompliance? >> they could be an appropriate response, but the big issue is the same issue we had a couple of weeks ago, before these talks began, which is what do you strike? who do you target, what do you target, the obama administration was talking about striking a regime that would be painful, but not too painful. one of my colleagues called this the goldie lox option, but it is very hard to find that in practice. >> there is also the issue of the broader civil war. put the question still remain whose is at the peace talks, who is the opposition. >> the opposition is divided. it will be difficult to have a peace agreement with such a divided opposition, which ranges from more moderate factions which are vowed affiliates of al quaida, so it will be difficult under the best of circumstances. >> do you think this deal makes it any more likely that president asaad would be willing to negotiate? >> i think not. in fact asaad could come out strengthened if there are safe havens that are put in place

charter which allows for military and nonmilitary action in case of noncompliance but would need to be reviewed and put to a vote on this case here foreign minister sergey lavrov is allusive go to the resolution that will be submitted to other u.n. security council members conforms to the geneva agreement on the destruction of syria's chemical weapons it does not provide for any chapter seven actions the resolution includes an agreement that was reached in geneva stating that the security council can go back to reviewing the resolution only in the case of a breach of its proceedings by any of the sides including the opposition or in the case of chemical weapons use by any side if that happens the council can act on those cases under chapter seven as well but only in accordance of the degree of that violation and if it is one hundred percent proof. now as the foreign minister mentioned the draft resolution backs the agreement reached in geneva regarding serious commitment to place its chemical weapons stockpile under international control if there's any violation by any party as the res

imposes legally binding obligations on all parties of the syrian conflict although panel these for noncompliance will not be automatic here's a nice in our way with the details of an agreement being seen as a landmark diplomatic breakthrough. and russian ambassador to the un has said that the council could vote on friday on this resolution the five permanent members of the u.n. security council reach an agreement on thursday over the wording of binding and forcible text to eliminate syria's. now the resolution doesn't allow for immediate chapter seven action of the un charter which allows for military and nonmilitary action in case of noncompliance but would need to be reviewed and put to a vote if that becomes the case here's foreign minister sergey lavrov is that the resolution that will be submitted to other u.n. security council members conforms to the geneva agreement on the destruction of syria's chemical weapons to go it does not provide for any truck or seven auctions the resolution includes an agreement that was reached in geneva stating that the security council can go back to reviewin

this is not a noncompliance finding, meaning we did not find any er rs in the reports themselves. it was part of the process. [speaker not understood] would not be reviewed before it was submitted and that could lead to a chance of errors. so, we wanted to bring out to the department as well as your attention. ~ >> and is there someone here from the department of emergency management? >> good morning, commissioners. my name is patrick [speaker not understood], i'm with the department of emergency management. to address the single audit finding, we've actually involved another manager within our department to review any reimbursement requests or any claims that are submitted to the grantors prior to submission. and we feel that this addresses any concerns for the audit finding. >> thank you. >> okay. so, the very last report that i have to present to you today is our audit plans for the 2012-2013. a lot of items that are included in this document that we have submitted to you have already been covered by kpmg in her prior presentation. so, i'll just give you an overview and highlig

there is there are acquirements in the framework which you will see that automatically take noncompliance and or. some question of deviation from the framework will go to the security council for debate as to what measure might be implemented but there is an agreement between russia and the united between russia and the united states that noncompliance is going to be held accountable within the security council under chapter seven what remedy is chosen is subject to the debate within the council which is always true but there's a commitment to impose measures that's the language well we'll impose measures commensurate with whatever is needed in terms of accountability we think that's an appropriate process and should and as sergey knows under. any circumstances there would be a debate in the security council even now. so there is no diminish in that there's no did munition of option and it's impossible obviously under these circumstances to have a pre-agreement as to what that specific sanction might or might not be for circumstances that we don't even know yet our hope is that we have a

this text says that basically there is no use of force to take place if there is some kind of noncompliance with the document that is being voted on today then the security council would have to meet again and basically start the talks on another resolution all over again so this is in a sense a major breakthrough because of this opposing position in this case and we are waiting for the security council to come out any minute what this will lead to is a political transition that keening go shaders hope to achieve in this crisis and this text does call for negotiators to follow up on the geneva agreements which are in fact for the parties to get together for talks and staying on this topic you spoke exclusively with the syrian foreign minister today how are syria planning to carry out what they've signed up to in terms of this chemical weapons deal and putting chemical weapons under international control and will sound there are u.n. experts involved in special a chemical weapon body that is going to be overseeing this certainly the key to negotiate or is in this case the security council is

progress will be reported back to the security council frequently, and in the event of noncompliance, the council will impose measures. >> meanwhile syrian opposition figures based in turkey said the resolution was unsatisfactory and would not end the violence. >> this resolution means the that assad should turn over his chemical weapons but he can keep massacring the people with conventional weapons. that is what he will understand because it does not point a finger to the criminal. assad has accumulated an estimated 1000 tons of chemical weapons, including mustard and nerve agents. a team of experts is due to head to serious next week. -- two syria next week. >> a mixed reception after holding landmark talks in the u.s.. irani ends are divided about the aboutni ends are divided the meetings. iran and america have taken the next step toward will -- toward ending 30 years of estrangement. >> presidential -- president barack obama said he was hopeful of future development after a landmark one-on-one conversation with his iranian counterpart. >> just now i spoke on the phone president o

under both of those circumstances, use of weapon or noncompliance, you are already automatically in chaptereven according to the agreement we came out of geneva with. so that mention is there. >> reporter: if you joined us you are watching al jazeera and listening to a three-way press conference live from paris between the secretary of state john kerry with his counterpart and his british counterpart william hague. they are discussing how to implement the u.s. plan on syria chemical weapons and agreeing that a strong security council resolution is needed to make syria give up chemical weapons and agreeing the security council resolution needs to be enforcement if pennsylvania does not comply, the meeting is going on all morning in paris and lawrence lee is live for us there and lawrence kerry is saying they are all agreed including russia that there will be session consequences if he does not give up his chemical weapons. >> yes, i think we have learned some things and a lot of things that are still very much up in the air to be honest at this point. what i think you have really seen today

in the event of noncompliance, we have committed to pose sanctions within the u.n.ecurity council. ultimately, perhaps more so than anywhere in the world, actions will matter more than words. phil, i hope you heard that, he said that actions mean more than words but there was a moment, phil, when there seems to be a little bit of conflict between what secretary kerry was saying and what lavrov was saying. secretary kerry seems to have forcefully say that there would definitely still be the threat of military action should syria not comply, and lavrov seemed to say that was not the case, and then it seemed that secretary kerry circled back and said, well there would be some sort of consequences it could be a wide range, is there an agreement on the fact that military strikes are still on the table, or are they off the table? or is it difficult to know right now? well, rachelle you have hit the nail on the head, it is blastly interesting to those of us watching it here. in a lot of ways this vagueness is purposeful, this is a way for both russian seans and americans t

in the event of noncompliance, we have committed to impose measures under chapter seven within the u.n. security council. >> we expect full compliance with the requirements the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons imposes. if they are not met or somebody uses chemical weapons, the un security council will take measures in accordance with chapter seven of the u.n. charter. of course, this does not mean every time a violation is reported actions will be taken automatically. we first have do verify and review such reports thoroughly, because there are a lot of fabrications surrounding this issue and we have to be very careful. >> john kerry said that bashar al-assad's willingness to comply with the agreement will be put to the test ridley and if he fails, the threat of force could be back on me table and the u.s. president retains the right to defend the u.s. before there is even a vote in congress. at the same time, the commander said it does not concern the syrian opposition because they do not possess chemical weapons. but during the press conference, john kerry made an

there's in the language of the resolution, consequences, quote consequences, for noncompliance.ut it doesn't say what those consequences are. what do you make of what's going on there? in the end, will all of syria's chemical weapons be gone? >> well, our new ambassador did a very good job. i've seen the draft of the resolution. it's airtight. the problem though is the consequences are under chapter 7. chapter 7 means military actions, sanctions, however, you have to go back, a new resolution has to be drafted if there's no noncompliance. that's where the russians can still veto. but the russians made it clear that they would veto something if there was any penalty. so it's a good step forward. if there's no compliance, i think there has to be a real concerted effort to look at option two which is perhaps not go through the u.n. security council because the russians may veto. but i think it's a positive development. there's no question about it. the danger though is penalties, punishment, it's not there the. you have to go one step forward for another resolution. this is where t

include the use of military force or the threat of military force against syria as a consequence for noncompliancetics makes strange bedfellows but as cold war history has shown, our history with russia is -- it would be an overstatement to call it a friend. it's no overstatement to say that president obama and his team need to deliver on this one in syria which won't be an easy task considering russia's temperament. as winston churchill famously said. i cannot forecast -- enigma but perhaps there is a key, that key is russian national interest. now that we're playing the game on their turf, it's worth asking. what makes putin's russia tick? simon marks, and sergei crews chief, the son of the leader of the soviet union. this is a picture of father and son back to 1959. sergei is now a senior fellow at brown university's watson institute for international studies. professor, thank you for joining us. i guess the first question is, what are russia's interests in syria? >> stability. russia don't want to have all this fighting on their borders. feared about the returning taliban and afghanistan and t

w for inspections and destruction in the event of noncompliance we have committed to impose measures under chapter seven within the un security council ultimately. perhaps more so than anywhere in the world actions will matter more than words in the case of the assad regime president reagan's old adage about trust but verify though that i know pro that i think is the saying that is in need of an update and we have committed here to a standard that says verify and verify but i also want to be clear about the endgame here if we can join together and make this framework a success and eliminate syria's chemical weapons we would not only save lives but we would reduce the threat to the region and reinforce an international standard and international norm we could also lay the groundwork for further cooperation that is essential to end the bloodshed that has consumed syria for more than two years. what we agreed on here today could conceivably be the first critical concrete step in that direction the united states and russia have long agreed that there is no military solution to the confli

ruthlessly and repeatedly against it's on people and make clear there will be consequences for noncompliancethis is very significant. this is the first time since the conflict began 2 1/2 years ago the security council has binding obligations on syria, binding obligations of any kind. >> reporter: to other news a bomb exploded on a bus in pakistan killing at least 17 government workers and the blast went with prayers friday and dozens of civil servants have been taken to hospital after they were injured. there is no immediate claim of responsibility. last sunday a double suicide bombing at a church killed 82 people. now the president condemned the attack on the kenya mall and called for help to fight al shabaab and what hum described the group as a regional threat that must be fought politically and economically and a need for an expanded african union force inside somalia and we will be live in a moment with peter who is in the somalia capitol and let's get the latest from nairobi. >> it's extremely complicated and delicate what they are trying to do and they are being helped by british and

first of all, by the way, the united nations has to state noncompliance, but if they do, then it will be a whole new negotiating process, and we do not know what kind of sanctions or even if military power would be an option there. military power, by the way, is certainly not with the russians as they stand at the moment. >> we are having a little problem with the signal. we want to apologize -- with the signal strength right now. let me get your thoughts on the complete turnaround that we have seen at the united nations. it was just a few weeks ago that even talking about a resolution in the security council in syria was a major taboo. now you are talking about passing a resolution by the end of the day. >> yes. quite frankly, you know, if anybody would have asked the journalists or diplomats, for that matter, three weeks ago, they would have said they were just plain crazy, but then a couple of things came together. probably the military threat by the u.s. played a role, and in the off-the-cuff remark as secretary of state john kerry who said the syrians could avoid military strike

obligations on all parties of the syrian conflict but does not authorize immediate use of force for noncompliance. reports. and the right diplomatic breakthrough. this breakthrough marks the first time the united nations security council has agreed on a binding document concerning syria the resolution unanimously adopted by the council requires the verification and destruction of syria's chemical weapons stockpile however while it doesn't mention chapter seven towards the end of the document it does not indicate that immediate use of force would be allowed this is something that russia's foreign minister sergei lavrov explained in detail while addressing the security council is that it's in your book but the. resolution does not fall under chapter seven of the un charter and there's not a lively automatic use of force it reaffirms the agreement reached at the russian american meeting in geneva regarding violations as well as the use of chemical weapons by anyone will have to be carefully investigated by the security council of the united nations the cancer will stand ready to take action under ch

charter in the case of noncompliance but it would need to be reviewed and put to a vote if that does become the case in the future here is russia's foreign minister sergei lavrov it is a signal to the resolution includes an agreement that was reached in geneva stating that the security council can go back to reviewing the resolution only in the case of a breach of its proceedings by any of the sides including the opposition or in the case of chemical weapons use by any side is not happens on the council can act on those cases under chapter seven as well only in accordance of the degree of that violation and if it is one hundred percent proof so the resolution also calls on the opposition to assist in the disarmament process this is an important point for russia that both sides be held accountable for violations of the resolution also fully of course as the geneva communique which was outlined in june and supports a transitional government which would have full executive power and not be closed off to members of the current government because for a meeting with all syrian sides as soo

resolution, the threat of further measures to be taken under chapter seven if there is any evidence of noncompliance by the syrian regime to the requirements of the international community. british prime minister said in london, when something truly terrible happens, you must put up a defense mechanism. the same could so easily be true of syria. do you feel at the united nations that basically the west is powerless to act? >> well, we have been deeply frustrated for the last two and a half years. you will recall that russia and china have vetoed three security council resolutions that we, france, and the united states put forward, which, had they been adopted at the time, might have made a difference in preventing this horrendous casualty list that has grown daily in syria. there is an opportunity now because the syrian regime has passed an internationally recognized norma using chemical weapons in this egregious way. there is just a chance that we can bring the international community together. it is that plus the threat of force that resulted in the agreement reached by the americans and the russi
