a great city, teotihuacan, dominated the basin of mexico. atop a hill in the valley of oaxaca, sits monte alban, the royal center of a mighty kingdom. and in the forests and jungles of guatemala, maya city states once reigned over thousands of square miles. this is mesoamerica. at about a.d. 700, three great civilizations had emerged here. the realms of the maya. the power of the great city of teotihuacan. the zapotec kingdom of monte alban. for many scholars the differences between new and old-world civilizations suggested an independent course of history -- that each evolved on its own. this led to another and deeper insight -- beneath these differences may lie a grand and universal similarity, a parallel course of human evolution throughout the world. we now know that all humans once lived nomadic lives. we gathered wild plants and followed the migrations of animals. our lives were lived in small bands. everything was shared. no one had more power or wealth then anyone else. 10,000 years ago, people began to farm and live in permanent sett

we're a little bit closer to city hall and it's great to be here at the center. it was really the community that pushed for the recognize of this community and to have this language recognized as one that all our departments should have to our of times could be included i want to recognize terry from our filipino center with rudy and he's here in the south market we have many south market leaders and, of course, jess listen and mayor one of our residents long term leader. the mayor ed lee brought up the hotel. i was born the year of the fall of the eye hotel. i think everyone in the room has seen the documentary not only because asian-americans were leading the structural and have been an advocate whether voting and housing but amazing to see the coalition that fought for that hotel and chicano-americans who lived there the black panthers for our seniors to have a place to live we rebuilt this for citizens and the one thing i can say about the community they persevere we're fighting the displacement again and the filipinos are leading this so the fight never dies

these three critical factors give us great optimism that the city, the albuquerque police department,nd the community will come together to ensure that the deficiencies identified by the investigation are corrected. i now turn the podium over to the acting assistant attorney general samuels who will discuss the results of the investigation. >> good morning, thank you all for joining us today. thank you damon for your work in albuquerque and across new mexico. the u.s. attorney's office has been an important partner in our efforts and in enforcing the nation's civil rights laws in this state, and we thank you and your staff for all that you do. i also would like to thank my colleagues from the civil rights division special litigations section who have conducted the investigation along with our u.s. attorneys partners, and have brought us to this release today. we're here this morning to announce the results of our investigation of the albuquerque police department. our team of attorneys and staff from both the civil rights division and the u.s. attorneys office have been working hard t

appreciate a lot of the work that our current commissioner chan has done for the commission and for our great city. so many good ideas have come out of that. for me, i really liked candidate victor hwang and the reason why is that, again, not because not only does he bring both the prosecution and defense side in term of experience and expertise, he he really has shown and demonstrated that he is -- he works in the community and has done so for many, many, many years. and i think that that broad perspective is really incredibly important. i asked the questions of all candidates really how well it is you work across all different departments, the police, [speaker not understood], that's important for me. actions speak louder than words. for me today, i would like to see victor hwang be appointed to this commission. and i want to speak also to the fact that several people as well as some of the supervisors have mentioned that the mayor has an appointee -- [speaker not understood] he can appoint. we cannot make that decision here today as to who he is going to select for that vacancy. so, i think it'

i didn't reiterate how critical it is to have a great transit system in the city. i think we've alanon and there is a that low income people ride this system and they likely probably have no other option. so when muni isn't performing at the level we want or doesn't have the capacity that we want it has a dramatic effect on those that are low income because they don't have another option. equally is the number of people who are middle and upper income who are using the system because we know in a lot of parts of the country, i know where i grew up, people, it was only low income people who were taking the bus. it's not a good thing. it should be economic diversity. it looks like 20 percent of the riders make $100,000 a year or more and 42 percent make $50,000 a year or more. a lot of those people are people who if muni isn't doing what we need, maybe do have cars so they can drive more or have the ability to buy a car and park it if they need to. for those folks, if they vote with their feet and don't ride transit, we are going to see a ton of congestion. this is g

this is great work on this report my concern is we have city government that's at odds with itself on one side of the aisle we have huge effort to flake to respond to the crisis of climate change and a report that lays out the steps and laid out the clear steps and retransacted some of the steps especially clean power sf. i think the work that the department has put out needs to be shared so i welcome the department to be here and welcomed the mayor's office but i've declined the environment director has decided not to come or has made an excuse not to be here. what's remarkable about the strategy we have a good strategy there's language in the report that was redacted that was a package in the original pdf we talked about the goals for renewable energy we wanted to be at one hundred percent renewableable energy on the commercial side. great goals that was in the report but taken out and can't find anyone who made the call to do that. it's incredible it's incredible we're facing the greatest crisis of this city and our government pulls back on how to achieve this. sometimes, i don't w

there are lots of great things about toronto. i wouldn't put the city's mayor top of the list.was elected in 2010 for touting himself as a taxes no more kind of guy. other the last year his behavior outside of city hall has been bizarre to say the least. he made headlines for being caught on tape smoking crack cocaine. he later admitted to that and buying illegal drugs. and he was ultimately stripped of most of his mayoral duties last fall. but he never officially lost his title. and now he is seeking another term as mayor. the reelection campaign begins tonight. thousands of people are attending his kickoff speech tonight, and i can't figure out why. the crack-smoking, trash-talking mayor of toronto, rob ford could be reelected. take a look at this, and you judge. >> i do not use crack cocaine, nor am i an addict. yes, i have smoked crack cocaine, but no -- am i an addict? no. have i tried it? probably in one of my drunken stew pers, probably about a year ago. ♪ one love >> i was elected to do a job, and that's exactly what i'm going to do continue to do. on october 27th, of 2
