during the debate under god in the first decade of the 20th century, referring to efforts to remove under god from the pledge, a roadside pennsylvania billboard did a young child in the billboard have the printed message, but the young boy singing why do atheists hate america. another in west virginia red anti-god is anti-american. many scholars contend communities achieve solidarity in identity only when they amounted an other who does not share the values of those legitimately within the community a nonbeliever is the other unworthy of citizenship. reciting the pledge of allegiance some of you may not know is the last ritualized act in the naturalization or money for new citizens. which makes clear that affirming loyalty to america requires asserting a belief in god, even if god is so alive with united case that the courts could see god as a secular figure. i repeat it signifies what defines an american is being a believer and nonbeliever's are unwelcome in the american community. the decade-long atheist crusade against god in the pledge of allegiance has produced by 2010 and unintended

plead guilty under the d.c. code, and if you don't, i'm going to indict you under the u.s. code. mr. feigin: well, your honor, d.c. is kind of a special case where both of those fall under federal government. it's like puerto rico, in that sense, in that they are not separate sovereigns. but here is another problem we have run into in puerto rico. we can't charge -- we can't rely on the separate sovereign understanding of the double jeopardy clause there, is that the territorial prosecutors in puerto rico don't view the prosecution of crime in quite the same way as the federal government does. they're more concerned with crime of a transactional nature, rather than necessarily developing longer term investigations. and so, one thing that they do is they frequently prosecute drug conspiracies that last only for one day, an agreement just to sell particular drugs from a particular location on a particular day. and at least one district court has dismissed a federal indictment for broader drug conspiracy that occurred for over a range of years on the ground that it was simply a grea

syrian freelancer humam husari lived under the siege in ghouta for five yea rs, under the siege in ghoutang the tragic toll on the ordinary citizens caught between the rebels and the government forces. during the height of the conflict, humam husari film the video diary of the conditions inside an underground shelter. there is nearby shelling, this is why we had to go underground in the tunnel. i witnessed so many tragic stories of people trapped in the random bombardment and siege. i actually lived in fear with them under shelling and i start with them. —— starved. humam husari's footage shows the plight of the families, often to the stories of the children. one of the most heartbreaking stories was that of three—month—old karim. most heartbreaking stories was that of three-month-old karim. karim's mother was in the local market, trying to get food for children. karim was with her in her arms when an airstrike karim was with her in her arms when an air strike targeted people there. humam husari was badly injured and his mother was killed. i was in the field hospital, when i met with the

>> plead guilty under the dc code or i will indict you under the u.s. code . >> this is a special case were both fall under special circumstances. we can't rely on the sub sovereign and the double jeopardy clause but the prosecutor's inquiry views the prosecution and crime the same way as the federal government, they're more concerned with crimes of a transactional nature than developing longer- term investigations. one thing that they do is they frequently prosecute drug conspiracies that last for one day and agreed to sell particular drugs on a particular day. at least one district court has dismissed a federal indictment, on the grounds it was simple we agreed recorded offense of the drug conspiracy. this is a consequence of the different ways that the state and federal government use their resources . >> another difficulty is prosecution by the federal government to follow tribal executions, which are about two thirds of the successive prosecutions we bring each year. as this court recognized a couple turns ago, the federal government plays a critic

on the basis that the finding under 505 c are met. okay. on that basis -- [roll call] >> clerk: okay. so that motion carries, 4-0. okay. we will now move onto item number five. this is appeal number 18-075, kristina saber versus the zoning administrator. subject property is 2330 turk boulevard, pealing -- appealing the variance issued on june 17, 2018. the portion is to in-fill a portion of the existing building at the rear and to add first accessory dwelling units at the first and second floor of an existing three story eight unit residential building under going seismic retrofitting. three of the residences requires variances. one grants a rear yard variance to construct one a.d.u. on the second floor that will require in-fill in the driveway taller than 10 feet in the rear yard set back. and we will hear first from the appellant. miss saber? >> thank you very much. the -- i request that the variance granted -- i believe it's unit c, i request that that be denied. it's our garage space. i don't see how -- i don't see a basis under the law

international administration under the terms of. so really it's we should be talking about if we want to say what does the modern middle east look like and the striking thing is this if britain had been concerned to preserve relations with france right to this to go she asian right through this process they failed because the french looked at sites because they looked to the baptists and they realized that they got much less inseparable that they had been promised by the british insight fico we overlook these things but in a sense i think that states vico reflects a failure of trying to negotiate a happy resolution of british and french territorial ambitions in the middle east britain came up with war and the french never forgave them. france had insisted on mosul in the fight. but had san remo they conceded it to britain despite the fact that it was known to be rich in oil. in the coup of turpin mo remember there was the car. on the libya and the mosul says oil is our prayers on that turkish but for the i'm company. keo. now if. it

it's about the climate under which the b.b.c. is currently operating which is this crime of aggression phobia here in britain in america and in other countries in the west and what we base got angry establishment in these countries anything that really threatens the status quo or some possibility of a change in direction of the economy or the political system. blamed on russia i think the cards are being overplayed and i think it's like the boy who cried wolf just shouting the russians the russians the russians it's like going back to the eighteenth is isn't it really and i don't think the public are really buying it and in france people know that there is widespread anger against macron and i think this trying to link it with russia is really exposing people to being conspiracy theory so you actually what they are. back to our top story now the un security council is discussing costs of those near to create its own army and they will cost lives and listening from turn two hundred percent in response the mayors of the fourth quar

that's the meaning a same offense under this court jurisprudence and under original meaning. secondly, very important, the second court has to recognize the competent and concurrent jurisdiction of the first quarter. that's part of the english law. whatever may arise in the international context, there's no dispute that alabama in the federal government has competent and concurrent jurisdiction over the the fence of being a felon in possession. the answer seems pretty clear because the row was concurrent jurisdiction will and there's no doubt there is concurrent jurisdiction. i don't think the idea even at the framing that you would recognize in an acquittal in another country is a bar of prosecution could possibly be so shocking because as mentioned bigger was discussed. >> that the requirement. >> it can't be a sham prosecution or colusa prosecution. >> all right, i can't be a sham. today let's say a group of american tours are murdered by terrorists in a foreign country, and there is a prosecution in the foreign country for murder, the same offense in a court of competent

we do not want to go back to again, under the janet reno regulations, the attorney general, under thosens, cannot fire the special prosecutor, except for misconduct in office. so it is a pretty high standard. as long as that special counsel is insulated from the pressures of being fired, then he or she can do their job. but we also have to recognize we are in a political system. the attorney general is appointed by the president. bobby kennedy would hardly be independent if jack kennedy was in trouble, and the same is true attorney generals. so with that recognition, it is just critically important that when a special prosecutor or special counsel is named, that person can be insulated sufficiently from political pressures, to give the american people confidence that that person can do the job that is required to investigate the high officials, if necessary president, vice president, other senior officials. that is what the american people deserve to have. 1978 act wasthis designed to ensure. one quick footnote that was achieved, interestingly enough, the regulations under bob bork was

it's fill in a void that's currently under parking. so denying the variance would prioritize parking over housing as we see it without any negative impact in terms of what the rear-yard requirement is supposed to address, which is encroachment into the block open space, is this is not exacerbating that noncompliance in that respect. so i think the findings are justified in this case. >> vice president swig: and you'll be writing them in this case? >> well, they've already been written by zoning administrator teague. >> commissioner honda: but he was acting zone administrator at the time. >> he was acting at the time, and he was acting well, and it was permitted. so under the unit size, the units are -- the proposed units are 581 square feet, 781 square feet, and 615 square feet. some of the units are -- aren't even subject to this variance. and they could actually remove more parking without even need for this variance. >> all right. thank you. >> vice president swig: thank you for my question. >> clerk: okay. commissioners, this matte

thousands of civilians were still trapped in the city under siege.r ordeal, they ran towards the government positions scattered around the city. women and children screaming and begging for a way out of their desperate situation. despite the huge risks, javier captured it all. the chaos as the civilians fled their homes and the confusion of the soldiers locked in close combat. filmed under constant fire and in intense heat, javier and his team followed what was happening around them, revealing the true turmoil of war. forjavier, what stood out most in covering this conflict was the level of violence inflicted on the civilians by the islamic state fighters. they would explode themselves among the civilians, or again civilians trying to flee the city, typically running for their lives from, to some extent, sniper fire. it was very, very brutal to witness somebody do that to allegedly their own muslim brothers and sisters. the judges thought even though this was front—line filming, javier still managed to show some of the real human moments. let's not f

under the ordinance, that would be considered one step. the business of the category three. in this case, after consultation with the organization, we connected them with a pro bono legal service organization. they are currently helping them figure out what their rights are , and going through one-on-one the lease negotiation , making sure that if the business takes on the obligations of compliance for the ordinance, that they are -- that they are in the right in being able to do so and that they are -- their financial capability and their needs are being met through the lease negotiation. and then case number 3 capped a small flower shop as a tenant who has a seven year lease ending in 2020. their landlord did have an inspection done to inspect the entryway and the landlord already paid for filling out the checklist. the proposed remediation is to install a power door operator, which the landlord is now passing that responsibility onto the tenant to arrange and to pay for. they reached out to determine two things. one, if the door operator is required, the particular busine

that's under their purr view. >> that's fascinating. the president said he doesn't feel that this is in any way implicated him. if anything, he said he is happy about the way things are going. he's also focusing on james comey and tweeting out, saying without evidence comey lied to congress. what do you make of this form of distraction or if there is going what the president is saying in terms of comey's words not being truthful. >> it's not clear to me what he is basing that on unless he has not read the documents and his advisers are not telling him the truth. the cohen memo in particular directly implicates him in a conspiracy or directing his lawyer to commit's campaign finance felony. that is abundantly clear. >> michael cohen, his fixer, saying he got the directive from then candidate. >> correct. it's worth no noting that for them to put that so directly to a court suggests to me that they have other corroborating information. whether it's documents and another witness who can testify to that. because cohen comes with a lot of ba

i think under the janet reynaud regulation -- janet reno regulations, under those regulations we cannote the special prosecutor, except for misconduct in office. it is a pretty high standard. as long as that special counsel is insulated from the pressures of being fired and he or she can do their job. we also have to recognize we are in a political system. the attorney general is appointed by the president. bobby kennedy would hardly be independent if jack kennedy was in trouble, and same with truman and so many attorney general's. so with that recognition, it is just critically important that when a special prosecutor or special counsel is named, that person can be insulated sufficiently from political pressures to give the american people confidence that that person can do the job that is required to investigate the high officials, if necessary president, vice president, other senior officials. attorney generals.th so many so with that recognition, it is just critically important that when a special prosecutor or special counsel is named, that person can be insulated sufficiently from
