instead, it was a rapid transition in a hurried process to be able to move americans out of harm's way in between two allies that were now fighting each other. and to try to shift them to other places and to be able to stabilize in those locations. so, out of hurried response that could have been done different, but was not. the now what is pretty clear. president trump has launched out and stated very clearly there will be strong sanctions, beginning on military leaders within the turkish army. the key leaders in the government and try to put sanctions down as rapidly as possible on those individuals and he's also announced a 50% field tariff on turkey and you may say that's no big deal except for the fact that steel is a major export for turkey. and it's a punishing tariff on them as a country. he's also started laying down additional sanctions on turkey and said all the trade agreements and conversations are currently at a standstill. turkey's economy is on the razor's edge because of the way that erdogan has mismanaged their economy. we have no beef with the turkish people, but tur

one solution a bus based rapid transit system with a network of dedicated bus lanes that bypass much of the traffic across the city the system so far stretches around 21 kilometers and has already cut travel time for some residents in half the 1st phase of the 6 phase project was finished and 2015 when we considered all the options the bus systems could be easier we can maintain in our city because all he said nor course was. train system and we also looked at inclusive it because when you. bring in a bus system most of the people who are working in that i've got to ask would be absorbed. into then a new system this is still benefits the environment and it was supported by the institute for transportation and development policy a global organization that advocates sustainable transportation before the b r t came into doris a log of public transport services provided by heavily polluting mini buses and the b r t was able to replace 3000 of those vehicles with 140 high capacity buses that all meet a much better emissions standard and it was also able to reduce greenhouse gas emissions

the capital santiago after days of protests against the rising cost of buying a train ticket the rapid transit metro system is closed for the weekend off the rioters attacked stations the student loan process which began on monday have since grown into a wider outcry over the cost of living let's talk now to boris van de speck he's the founder of chile today that's an independent news website he joins us from santiago boris fun to spec did the president really have any choice here but to impose the state of emergency. well not really i think for the last 20 years chile has not seen this amount of violence in the protests. and normally the police and in chile they respond pretty aggressive and yesterday the process was so violent that even the police forces had to retreat from the center of something it was pure anarchy was chaos and those scenes the president had no other choice than the clearing a state of emergency and even deploying armed troops to the center of the capital is it an easy proposition is it or is it a big ask to get the president and the government to come up with some sort o

we have a community that includes the da, rapid transit police and san francisco sheriff's department and law enforcement agencies, public defender's office and adult probation to work together to look at the population that ends up in criminal justice and how they will not end up in jail. >> having partners in the nonprofit world and the public defender are critical to the success. we are beginning to succeed because we have that cooperation. >> agencies with very little connection are brought together at the same table. >> collaboration is good for the department. it gets us all working in the same direction. these are complex issues we are dealing with. >> when you have systems as complicated as police and health and proation and jails and nonprofits it requires people to come to work together so everybody has to put their egos at the door. we have done it very, very well. >> the model of care where police, district attorney, public defenders are community-based organizations are all involved to worked towards the common goal. nobody wants to see drug users in jail. they want them

we need to build out the rail network, including the richmond district, and make sure that rapid transits operating efficiently. the other 50% goes to capital improvements that the transportation authority would be doling out. that's bike lanes, protection. >> same question to you, howard. the revenue, why would you oppose how this money is going to be? >> the city has enough revenue as it is. if you look at our budget, it's very high. we spend the second highest amount per resident of any city in the country. only washington d.c. beats us. if you look at the spending, it's inefficient. look at the streets, look everywhere. what they do here, every time there is a problem, they throw money it at it. if that doesn't solve the problem, throw more money at it and nothing ever gets done. we need to bring people into city hall who understand how to manage, who understand how to plan, who are successful in the private sector and will get things done. >> thank you. my next question is to first to you, howard, that is if the proposed tax the correct way to reduce traffic congestion in san franci

the calls for immediate and accelerated action to stop burning fossil fuels, and to ensure a rapid transition to a clean energy economy that prioritizes equity and justice. the commission on the environment stands in solidarity with the millions of young people, around the world, who are raising their voices organized in their communities, and calling to make addressing the climate crisis a top priority. before i ask for public comment, i want to ask if any of my fellow commissioners would like to add to this message? commissioners? commissioners stephenson? >> thank you for that, that was wonderful. i spent last week watching the tv and crying my way through outs, being elated, and overwhelmed and slightly embarrassed to be perfectly honest that it takes a bunch of kids to get out there and protest to get people to stand up and take note. but it also made me incredibly proud to be in san francisco specifically. this city consistently leads on this issue, and i think for those of you that don't know, one of the reasons i set up here , years ago i started a company that published a little tip

i'm a senior vehicle systems engineer for bay area rapid transit. i've lived with my family at 1280 sanchez street across the street from the proposed noe valley coffee for 25 years. my wife and i do not want the terrible odor of roasting coffee wafting over the neighborhood. we are concerned about potential health risks of coffee roasting, especially the sensitive people like the children at the preschool down the street and those with asthma like my wife and other neighbors. we believe that coffee roasting is an industrial activity that is not suitable for this residential neighborhood. we are concerned that the only monitoring proposed by the bay area air quality management district is indirect. coffee being purchased reporting which is unlikely to be -- or difficult to separate from the wholesale coffee business and the natural gas usage. there's no monitoring of the actual pollutants. we are also concerned there appears to be an exemption to the noxious odor regulation of the area, bay area air quality management district for restaurants with l

then we started working with different sectors to map the rapid transition to renewable energy would need for them. we work with the postal workers who were having a crisis because the government was trying to close it off. instead of just saying, don't do that, they said, okay, we have a counter plan for what the post office should be. but get mail differently now. we don't just want things to be the same. but why should we sell off this valuable public infrastructure let's transform it and put into the center of the transition to the next economy. we came up with a plan with their members for the post office of the future which we have Ãbcharging stations out front.coastal banking. lending to communities so they can have community controlled renewable energy. a domestically made fleet of postal vehicle is already the largest domestic fleet of vehicles why not make it electric? why not make a domestically created a bunch of jobs. they came up with these ideas but they don't just have to deliver mail they could also be delivering locally grown produce. they knock on more doors than a

in response to ongoing protests against the rising price of commuter commuter train tickets a rapid transit metro system has now been shut down after attacks on stations over the past week and a half about us reports. purchase that started over a rise in metro fears have provoked a state of emergency in santiago. student started the action 11 days ago angry about a 4 percent increase in ticket prices the found an audience and chileans frustrated with the rising cost of living money well it's good that young people are coming out to protest because they raise the fares but rather than raising salaries the government is raising fares was the government playing to the fare rise on rising oil prices in a week of pay so the. protesters don't buy that and say the protest is a ticket to wider concerns about the economy and when the students come in and once they're protesting in a way that many of us who work cannot so in some ways they can represent us. but it's becoming increasingly violent on friday protestors forced the metro to shut entirely the city estimates protesters have cost $700000.00

we have worked with they will well on transit improvement process in the equity neighborhood. as frequent and rapid and reliable transit means access. we need more transit improvements to bring priority on the streets. we have increasing traffic congestion slowing down buses. i hear muni has to put more buses and trains on the streets to keep up with service because they are slowed down so much. our focus is more transit priority on the street. we have a campaign called 30-30. we want rapid routes to connect all neighborhoods by 2013 in 30 minutes. we have a network that focuses on getting people downtown and not serving the outer neighborhoods. it works very well. we have seen increase in ridership 22% on the five r corridor. they found 15% of the riders were getting out of private cars to muni. that makes neighborhoods safer and reduces accidents and crashes. the challenge is to try to do these improvements there are years of community outreach. it is important and not to dismiss anything discussed. we are working on rapid bus service on the 29 sunset serving the southern and western neighborhood

instead it was a rapid transition in a hurried process to be able to move americans out of harm's wayin between two allies that were now fighting each other and to try to shift them to other places and to be able to stabilize in those locations. there's a lot of hurried response that could have been done different but was not. the now whats are pretty clear. president trump has launched out and stated very clearly that there will be strong sanctions beginning on military leaders within the turkish army. the key leaders in the government and try to put sanctions down as rapidly as possible on those individuals. he also announced a 50% steel tariff on turkey. you may say that is no big deal except for the fact that steel is a major export for turkey and it's a punishing tariff on them as a country. he started to lay down additional sanctions on turkey and said all the trade agreements and conversations are currently at a standstill. turkey's economy is on the razor's edge because of how erdogan mismanaged the economy for so many years many we don't have a beef with the turkish people bu

a plaid cymru government would create a new 50 kilometre rapid transit service, connecting the east andt to change the valleys, then that is the level of ambition we need. connecting 250,000 people with new opportunities. creating a real metro, not whether‘s scaled down pretend one. we will ta ke scaled down pretend one. we will take people out of their cars, yes, by giving them a real alternative. adam price, the leader of the welsh nationalist party plaid cymru speaking at the autumn conference in swa nsea. speaking at the autumn conference in swansea. he said that in his view, westminster owes wales £20 billion for wealth it has stolen. he said that if wales were independent, it would be able to issue its own government bonds and raise its own money for investment. hello, you're watching afternoon live — i'm martine croxall. today at 3:00 — scotland yard is strongly criticised over its handling of allegations from carl beech about a vip paedophile ring, which turned out not to exist. i have the utmost contempt for senior officers of the metropolitan police, past and present, for the

transit. we've also heard concerns about the rapid stop spacing in the centre lane and connection to central subway. this has resulted in a local rapid transfer points at civic centre station as well as a modification to the curb lane stop at fourth and market. with regards to the f-loop we've heard support for operational benefits from the waterfront and fisherman's warf area but this is us modifying the stop location and exploring noise-reducing designs and construction techniques. with regards to the vehicle circulation in the western variance, there's been concerns about a less district car route due to the car-free zone as well as the new one-way on ellis between stockton. there's been concerns about transit operations with only two lanes near van ness and market. this is our environmental review schedule and project approvals. we started our environmental impact report in january of 2015. just last thursday, october 10th, the planning commission certified the e.i.r. for project approval we held a public works hearing last friday and our directour approved the project this morning. today's m.t

rapid change. and the transition and the marshall plan. as examples of times when they understood the threat.hey understood why there was the great depression in the dustbowl. with the u.s. wasn't worried about ways that a lot of countries were falling under control of the soviet union. they wanted to rebuild western that would waye e ri make it has to be a more mixed economy and that has a much stronger social protection or people will go full blown socialist.oc >> was there a book or author that influenced or changed or your thinking at any subject. >> so many books. i don't know where to begin. certainly when i was writing this changes everything all some indigenous thinkers. i dedicate this book on fire to a man named arthur emanuel. he was a former chief in mentor of mine.f his a published book that i think is incredibly important from the reconciliation manifesto. it's about the neutrality of land rights. many friends including fighting climate change thatno indigenous land rates in knowledge. it's very important if we're going to rise to the challenge.tl the book that have the biggest

six key principles we would want it to meet and that includes it being rapid and so we need folks like bart to just know that transit will come about every 12 minutes or less and that might vary in some places, but basically, if you're boarding this network and it can be faster branded or some other branding, like the one-world alliance with a lot of operators, you know you'll have a fast, reliable trip. the other one is network. we need an improvement greated fare system across the region and branded way finding so people understand where they need to go. it needs to be connected to growing, dense areas and places providing more residential homes and apartments. we need it to be accessible, of course and we need to be sustainable and for us, that means all projects need to be able to reduce total vehicle miles traveled and they need to be sea-level rise ready and feignly, affordability is critical and a means-based fare is one of many components to fund out of this. so we've had over 200 meetings with stakeholders around the region. a lot of transportation experts, environmental groups, equity groups and others and

sub components but we do need to look at that whole era for precedent for the rapid change in the new deal and the transitiono wartime mobilization and the marshall plan as an example of times when resources are marshaled understanding various threats or the threat of fascism and that countries were falling under control of the soviet union. and to re- bill the public sphere and then a more mixed economy with a much stronger social protection and then we lose it all to the soviet. >> was there a book or an author that influenced or changed your thinking on any subject quick. >> yes. so many books. i don't know where to begin but this changes everything with silent spring was important and of the indigenous leader and author in canada. that posthumously published book through that reconciliation manifesto many including fighting climate change it is very important as we rise to the challenge. so recently the novel is that story everybody has been told they have to read because it's just magnificent. i read a lot of fiction and the workaround climate. but the most recent novel is underappreciated and called an

actually need to look at the whole era to look for president for this kind of rapid change, the new deals, and the transition to the wartime mobilizations and the marshall plan. as examples, of times lynn resources were marshals, these people understood the threat. various threats both of it was the great depression or the devil or the front of fascism. in the case of the marshall plan, with the u.s. was worried about was that the countries werend only on control of the soviet union. they wanted to rebuild western europe in a way that would make social less appealing. in that rebuilding the public. having mixed economies with strongli safety nets and trace union rights of the felt like we have capitalism. it has to be a more mixed economy with or that has a much stronger social protection for people who will loan. what is it will lose it all to the associates. >> was a book or an author that your influence or changed your thinking on any subject. naomi: so many books. i do know where to begin. certainly when i was writing this changes everything, reading silent spring was really important. indigenous thinker

rapid change. the new deal and the transition to the mobilizations and the marshall plan. >> resources were martialecause people understood the threat. whether it was the great depression and the dustbowl, whether it was the threat of fascism and in the case of the marshall plan what the us was worried about was a lot of countries were falling under the control of the soviet union so they wanted to rebuild western europe in a way that would make socialism less appealing which meant rebuilding the public sphere, having mixed economies strong safety net, strong trade union rights so they felt like we can't just have the regulated capitalism, it has to be a more mixed economy that has a much stronger social protection or people will go a full-blown socialist and will lose it all to the socialists. >> see one was there a book or author that influenced or change your thinking on any subject? >> guest: yes, so many books. i don't know where to begin but certainly when i was writing this changes everything, reading silent spring was really important. also some indigenous fingers, i recognize i'm canadian

decision from the committee standpoint in terms of when we transition from the accumulation of information which has been coming in, in a rapid, to the public presentation and we'll see when that occurs. >> well, i only ask it this way. many compared this to sort of a grand jury. and you can seek an indictment from a grand jury even before you've got all the information you are going to use in your trial. so, do you view this the same way that you may have enough to get your indictment but that doesn't mean you stopped your investigation? >> well, let's be clear, the evidence of wrong doing as many of my colleagues have suggested, is hiding in plain sight. we have the rough transcript of the july 25th call where donald trump pressured a foreign government to target an american citizen for political gain and thereby solicit foreign interference in the 2020 election. >> that undermines our national security and his textbook abuse of power. we have the whistleblower complaint that has been validated by the witness was have come forward. we have a confession that was made by nick mulvaney, the acting white house chief of staff wh

counterpart, said the troops were only allowed to transit through iraq and leaving within 4 weeks, this week u.s. hoped they might stay in iraq and act as a rapid reaction force, they will have to move within 4 weeks. deirdre. >> thank you benjamin hall. we bring in fox new analyst, retired colonel david hunt. thank you so much in advance for the time, president trump said he is lifting all sanctions gain turkey after turkey's 9 day offensive. what is your view on the u.s. decision? >> i think we have to take step back, appreciate what happened. turkey and a nato ally invaded syria, with large artillery. against the kurds our friends, they have made a deal with russia to carve up syria. that something really wrong with this picture. only people who benefited from this decision by united states are isis, terrorists escapes, russia, iran. turkey. and syria. that is not a good sign. >> colonel i think there are many people, you are an expert on this so many wonder the same, i heard from so many sources we don't know what we're doing, we heard president, addressing that isis concern, president trump did say earlier today of in his remarks, that oka

install an ada accessible transit stop in the centre and have a sidewalk level bike lane and accommodate the portal so in order for us to accommodate all of those things we needed a rapid stop at fifth street and however, hearing the feedback regarding the spacing we did modify the curbside stop at fourth street to make it a little bit longer and we plan to monitor how people are using transit transferring to central subway and we will make adjustments with that curbside stop in the future after central subway opens. >> and then i also started looking at between it's between seventh and eighth, but the f9 and 9 are why we didn't move it closer to the intersection as opposed to what is in the middle of the box there. it's just wondering for a better alignment. so we have placed all of the rapid and the local stops close to each a civic centre. it's also close to the bart elevator that is there so we wanted do maximize that and we had to work around the portals which are near the cross streets. with the portals at eighth and seventh we were able to shoe torn in between the introduce blocks and centre access to the bart elevators. >> you mentioned the transfer station, ca
