each of you work every single day to move this city, right? but how can we make sure that the city is moving fast enough for you? i think we need to make sure that we're on time, and when i'm thinking about this issue, i'm thinking about it from an intersectional lens, so an intersectional lens means i'm looking at it from multiple layers, right? so if we're going to be solving from transit equity, it means real change, particularly for our communities of color. we need greater efficiency particularly to communities in the southeast. we need better reliability, we need improved access for our vulnerable folks so they can afford to take muni, but also, our folks who are differently abled and disabled so they can get to where they want to go. but in order to have transit equity, we need people. we need people to do this work. we need each and every one of y you. and i know that each and every one of you live at intersections. you're not just a driver, an administrator. you are a black driver, you are a brown professional administrator. you bring

a couple of things about this city. that video and what you saw does not represent this city. what you see here represents our city. we are a community. the sfpd is a part of that community. we have a job to do, and our job is to investigate, to bring people to justice, and then let the district attorney do his job. we've made an arrest in this case. [applause] >> and our investigators are out right now, looking for a second person who we believe we will have arrested in the very near future. the arrest charges are robbery, hate crime, elder abuse, and a probation violation. now, i will say, our criminal justice system, you're innocent until proven guilty, so we'll let that process play forward, but what i want everybody out here to know, and i'll repeat the mayor and every elected official that's spoken, is we don't tolerate this type of behavior in our city. we shouldn't, we won't, and we don't. so let's not let it take a video for us to come together. there's many other people in this city -- supervisor walton spoke about the homicide on that friday. we're working just as ha

about 50% of the youth that are homeless in this city identify as lgbt, and we want to make sure that we help the next generation of young people growing up in this community so that they have hope. so many great things but also so much more work to do. and i am really confident in the leadership of this city to really help us move forward on so many different levels. as we think about just the attacks that we have been under. i mean, we just had a visit from the other number 45 here this weekend, and i can't help but think about not only our city being under attack, but also our lgbt community, where we continue to fight for things that we shouldn't have to at this point. you know, when i think about just what we're celebrating in the month of february, black history month. black history is american history. we're celebrating lunar new year. chinese american history is american history. lgbt history is american history. we are all a part of the fabric of what makes our city and our country so great. so we will not be silenced. we will continue to lift our voices and celebrate what ma

of new york city bill de blasio late on thursday as you mentioned 95 cases of coronavirus in this city about 320 in the state of new york those numbers relatively low compared to many other parts of the world and even compared to a couple other cities in the u.s. but new york city is bracing for a potential explosion of even more cases and that's why so much of this city is shut down right now let me just give you an example broadway theaters forced to be shut down the metropolitan museum of art closed carnegie hall shut down these eve of natural history shut down the new york city opera shut down this just gives you an idea of how much things are shut down here in this city because of coronavirus just within the last 24 hours or so this city feels quiet too i would say there's only about feels like there's only about 25 percent of what normally the amount of people that you would see on the streets year and we're also starting to see a scarcity issue very long lines and empty shelves in supermarkets shows with no fruit no bread no milk people are rushing to the markets to get anything

just 20 minutes north of new york city this is new rochelle new york's governor sealed off the city of 80000 but more than 100 people contracted coronavirus the highest cluster anywhere in the u.s. . scenes like out of a science fiction movie a drive through testing station for corona virus the facility designed to handle 200 cars a day has one huge advantage over traditional testing methods according to new york's governor it's actually safer to keep them in their car so they can come in for the testing it's less exposure overall back in new york this city is slowly grinding to a halt the metropolitan museum of art which hosts millions of visitors

we also know that many irish men served as mayors of this city. is time for an irishwoman to step up for a change. we know that the rich history and legacy is why in 1984 then mayor dianne feinstein established the sister city relationship between san francisco and cork, ireland. thank you for continuing your leadership as one of the co-chairs for that sister city relationship. so much history and so many incredible people, and, yes, i have the privilege of serving as the grand marshall. when i committed to being the grand marshall of the parade last year, i committed to showing up to every event, mr. lions, now that you are the grand marshall, if i as mayor can show up to all of the events and do all of the vo volunteer k required to wear the sash, i want to be sure you are filling my footsteps with pride. congratulations. we know that you immigrated here to san francisco, met your wife on geary street, raised four incredible church and have a rich history and legacy in san francisco. thank you so much for being with us today. congratulations. we

we don't want the next generation fighting for the same policy that should already exist in this city that protect and support women. so today's honorees represent, as i said, incredible women who really have focused on advancing the rights of women, who are spending a lot of their time trying to get women registered to vote, to address what we know, even in san francisco as we see a lower voter turnout, we know disproportionately that it impacts people of color and women. so getting women registered, getting them to turn out to vote is important and having organizations that are dedicated to that cause is also significantly important. our first honoree is a local american woman of color who is a child of immigrants who came to the united states. she worked tirelessly to engage women, register them to vote, and connect them with volunteer and civic opportunities. have you ever come across people who say what do i do? how do i get involved? what's the next step? people have no idea what to do. nadia has been doing this work to help motivate and get women, especially women who have not

the time cohen and i started this event about six years ago, we wanted to make sure that people in this citynew that we are still here, and we still matter. [applause] >> the hon. london breed: there are so many incredible people in this room tonight, but i want to take an opportunity to just recognize a few of our guests, including someone who made history as the first african american mayor of san francisco, mayor willie brown. [applause] >> the hon. london breed: and no, mr. mayor, you can't have your job back. and i also want to thank, a member of the board of supervisors who i've had the pleasure of working closely with to deal with many of the challenges that we not only face in this city but with our african american community, and i want to thank them with their partnership and their leadership, starting with the president of the board of supervisors, norman yee, supervisor sandra lee fewer, and supervisor ahsha safai. thank you all so much for your support. [applause] >> the hon. london breed: now tonight is really about a reflection. it's also about celebrating our history, our cul

two days ago, president rodrigo duterte announced there would be a lockdown on this city to try to stop we are seeing it enforced. we saw an exodus of people leaving the city prompting questions about whether it was a good idea to have these two days to allow people to leave, perhaps they could spread the virus around the country. that's the question being asked but we are seeing police officers handing out these leaflets with all the advice about washing hands and social distancing and also testing people's temperatures on this checkpoint. if they are not showing a temperature above 38 degrees, they are allowed to pass, noting where they are going to but it seems contrary to the idea of having a lockdown on the city, people are being allowed to leave here today unless they have symptoms of covid—19. and howard, the country has confirmed it has 111 cases of the virus, doesn't it? what happened around a month ago is we saw the first three cases in this country. this is the country where we saw the first death outside of china and there was a month where nothing much really happened. peop

coronavirus worries and so all trading at the new york stock exchange is happening now electronically this city's quiet quite frankly there are not a lot of cars on the streets at all people are hunkered down mostly at home you'll see a few people walking around of course it's a city of 9000000 people so people who live here will be out maybe walking their dogs going for a run you'll see occasionally some people out that might be working still in some restaurant or something doing takeout or delivery but beyond that this city is completely quiet and it's going to be like that for quite frankly a very long time zone to thank you very much indeed. doctors in spain say they're struggling to cope with the rising number of corona virus infections many are overworked and under protected but the country facing a severe shortage of medical supplies food brennan reports on the situation across europe. that's a vet oh a chore hospital in madrid coronavirus patients now occupy almost every available space. there are beds for 80 patients at this unit as many as 280 people at a time of being treated here and

i feel it's important for me and my child to live in this city, reasons being, great neighborhood, great programs, the housing programs are awesome, and not to mention the minimum wage is way more than a lot of cities that we know of. i want to say thank you so much for allowing me to speak today. i currently live at john burden housing, in a studio. i would love to have a chance to come back to my community, a chance to be a leader to other youth, a chance to show them that we have a chance to come back and be great leaders in our community. thank you so much for having me today. [applause] >> thank you so much, shaylas. we're now going to move to that incredib incredible moment. if i could have mayor breed to come to the table, supervisor walton, other people who want to be involved in the photo op. any residents in the building please come forward. eddie cotrell is in the house. i want to thank supervisor cohen, former supervisor cohen, linda adams, daniel eelie, our city attorney, who drafted this thing, hope sf policy leader, jason lu, our property managers and service providers, th

and the fact is, i think the challenge that we face in this city and actually throughout this country is not having an honest conversation about people who struggle with substance use disorder. we know that it's happening and playing itself out on our streets and people are complaining about it. but the fact is complaining about it and moving people from space to space to space does not solve the problem. if anybody has had a family member or their own personal experience with substance use disorder, you know it's just not that simple to say here, here's help, or here's support or here are services you have to get better. people who suffer with substance use disorder have real challenges, and i think we have to change the kind of services that we provide to help people who deal with those challenges. we've been lucky in san francisco that we have incredible people and organizations that have led the way, including the aids foundation and the delancey foundation, haight-ashbury foundation, who have put themselves on the line for people that are struggling. and what's so amazing about t

describe for folks who don't live in this city, who don't frequent this city, describe a little bit more of the mood that you're feeling amongst other new yorkers right now. and what led you to write the op-ed? >> you know, i think people who live in cities and certainly in new york, i think there is a perception that we don't know one another. that we're rude. we don't know our neighbors. that's really not true. we live in neighborhoods. we, you know, send our kids to little league and we have families, raised families here and i know my neighbors. i know the doctor around the corner. and i know the kids down the street. and we are used to being able to be together. we like having that sense of communal life that is part of the spirit that makes new york new york. you talk to the cops that you meet in the street. that's part of the fabric of this city and i think having lived through the september 11th attacks and then super storm sandy, those were also very traumatic and tragic. but what makes this so difficult in part is knowing that our family and friends and colleagues and also just

in the midst of the city's emergency response to the outbreak of covid-19, this is when leadership andion become even more important and i'm extremely proud to be part of the team to ensure that the city is prepared to protect its workforce and its citizens. i want to thank nicki callahan for her unwavering support of all of my projects and ideas. nothing happens without that kind of support. i've been in the worker's compensation system for over 40 years and i have very specific ideas of what should be done. just a shout-out to nicki, i'm not done yet. [laughter] >> more changes are coming. also a big shout-out to the worker's compensation division team and the staff for their willingness to bend to the many changes that we have brought about, changes that i think we can call environmental jolts, right? some changes are continuous, and others are just huge. one such change was the implementation of our alternative dispute resolution program that we implemented with the san francisco firefighters, local 798 and the san francisco police officers association. julian robinson spent a grea

it's going to be a new reality in this city. d we have to understand that this is something that's absolutely necessary. i want to say to my fellow new yorkers, none of us asked for the coronavirus, to say the least. none of us expected the coronavirus. we are in a whole new dynamic. we're all learning every day how to make sense of it. and when i give you these briefings, just like my colleagues, we'll try and be as blunt and straightforward as we possibly can be, but some of the time, the answer will be, we don't know, because we still don't know. there are so many things we're trying to sort out in a brand-new reality. what i can say is, a lot of the pieces are coming together to make sure that we do everything humanly possible to slow the spread of this disease. to give us a chance to prepare for the weeks ahead when wooefr going to see a lot more cases to make sure our health care system will be as strong as it possibly can be. and that's why the governor's decision was so important. to make sure that all nonessential worker

small businesses hit by the coronavirus when the crisis is past many of the smaller startups in this city may be no more than a memory of simpler times. and financial correspondent jose luis de haro joins me now from new york jose the u.s. the world's largest economy is still working on its stimulus plan to respond to this outbreak this pandemic i should say where things stand. for now as stephen i'm bringing lots of news of the 1st ones we just learned minutes ago that denies the will close its trading floor is starting march 23rd and will star operating completely and fully electronically for a period of time and then also it's important to have in mind that the senate just passed the bill approval ready by the congress last weekend and basically these would bill will provide enhance unemployment insurance insurers say that businesses that have if you were down 500 employees they can offer 2 weeks of paid sick leave to their workers and increases funding for food assistance programs has had from guaranteed pre-testing for the coronavirus but upside from these there are all there are sev

this city shut down the state is shut down and it's an example of what's going on throughout the whole country but here particularly new york city the streets for the most part in new york city are empty let 9000000 people live in this city but for the most part they are empty see people out walking their dogs maybe going for a run but it's empty that the holland tunnel the main tunnel that goes from new jersey under the hudson river and pops out in the world trade center area in the financial district at $830.00 this morning on a wednesday normally would have hundreds of cars backed up to funnel into that tunnel normally would take half an hour at least 45 minutes maybe an hour to go through the holland tunnel this morning when i drove through it there were 2 cars going through the holland tunnel there was no line at all it just gives you an idea of how the city shut down the millions of people that normally would come into the city every day just aren't anymore and this is going to go on according to the governor and the mayor for weeks to come the other something about empty streets

city and county? >> so you've asked a good question? this is where cities around the country are adapting to a growing situation? we know from evidence in china and everything going on there, if you pull -- if you do everything -- the more aggressive you are, the more impact you're going to have. and the question is how do we do it in a way where we're going to have impact but minimize any unintended consequences, and i think that's the challenge. and i think in the united states, we're adapting and learning how to do that. so for example, 12 midnight, santa clara county, they've decided to even be more aggressive than san francisco, so they have cancelled all public and private events for 1,000 or more. and of course, we're now having those conversations, thinking is this the strategy that we need to be -- to do regionally? and so these are the types of discussions that we're beginning to have now because there's no play book that tells us what to do for this situation. >> supervisor peskin: so doctor, we have a few lawyers on this board. >

this is my city. the most photographed places in town, this is a tourist hotspot and backin this is a tourist hotspot and back in the day, i had to elbow my way through the crowd and avoid the salty sticks from all directions. now, ican avoid the salty sticks from all directions. now, i can take a photo or a video from every angle of the bridge. from a selfish point of view, i feel privileged because they can now admire the beauty of my city undisturbed. what's for the future? that's my anxiety. incredible how things are changing, and so quickly. in so many countries around the world, we have heard from so many of you. take a look at people's comments, get involved, tell us what is happening where you are. we have all the very latest on bbc online updating all the time. this particular story updated very recently, talking about the new financial measures to support the uk economy that are likely to be announced today. this is the briefing from bbc news. the latest headlines: france's president warns a

this is a time for us to come together and to support the residents of our city, and not make people feel excluded. so, sadly, this continues to be a problem where the president continues to stand by his messaging around his labeling of the coronavirus. and we want to make it clear that that is not something that is acceptable or tolerated here in san francisco. so, i want to thank you all again for being here today. and, we know that is the situation continues to evolve, we will do everything we can to a that you and provide you with the most accurate information. and again, making a decision to shelter in place is not one that was taken lightly. it was taken at the direction of some of the most incredible public health experts anywhere in the world. and, we will get through this if we comply, if we, in some cases, you know, sacrifice clearly to get you know, to a better place. none of us wants to be in the situation right now. but, we will get over it if we continue to work together and comply with the order and do our part. so, thank you to all the folks in our city who have done a

we've had people go on to this website and they're just fascinated by the city budget now. like i think it was such a huge thing that most people, lay persons, myself included, didn't understand. and i think this really makes it accessible to every taxpayer in san francisco. which is our goal. thank you. and any other comments from my colleagues? none? okay. i'd like to make a motion then to file this item. >> second? >> president yee, take that without objection. thank you very much. any other business before us today? >> no further business. >> supervisor fewer: thank you very much, we're adjourned. >> this is a huge catalyst for change. >> it will be over 530,000 gross square feet plus two levels of basement. >> now the departments are across so many locations it is hard for them to work together and collaborate and hard for the customers to figure out the different locations and hours of operation. >> one of the main drivers is a one stopper mitt center for -- permit center. >> special events. we are a one stop shop for those three things. >> this has many different uses

this hospital has been treating about one-third of the city's patients who have coronavirus. and when i spoke to the chief operating officer of the hospital yesterday, he said in 40 years in health care, he has never seen anything like this. in fact, just last week, there was a leaked memo that was released from the hospital. and it really outlined a sobering worst case scenario plan where the doctors inside would effectively have to choose who lives and who dies. who gets treated. who gets the life-saving equipment. that's the question facing a lot of doctors if and should resources become even more scarce. take a listen to what the ceo said. do you have enough? do you have what you need? >> you know, that question we ask ourselves on a shift by shift basis. we have enough for today. will we have enough for tomorrow is what we're working really hard to make sure of. >> what's interesting about michigan is now they're putting their manufacturing might into the battle against coronavirus. you have seen traditional auto plants who now have been turned into medical supplymakers.

the very reason we went there the reason we went there after this city was attacked was to destroy al qaeda. we have largely taken it down. al-qaeda is a shadow of its formerself. it's now time to turn the corn attorney make sure that we never attacked again from afghanistan. and we can do that but reduce our costs and reduce our risks. we have got your friends who are on the fourth, fifth, seventh tour in afghanistan, we can do better by the american people. >> we reduce that risk and

this particular hospital is treating one-third of the patients in the city of detroit. d to give you an example of things, we spoke to the chief operating officer of the hospital and he said, in his 40 years, he had never seen anything like this. in fact, just a few days ago, there was a leaked memo from the hospital that the hospital did confirm and it effectively outlined a sobering worst-case scenario if resources become even more scarce. their doctors inside would be forced to make the decision, who gets to live and die. who gets treated, who gets those life-saving treatment and is the devices like ventilators that they need. take a listen to what the chief operating officer told me just last night. >> our emergency rooms have been packed. we are running out of inpatient capacity. >> professionally, have you ever seen anything like this? >> i've been in health care for 40 years and been through a lot of different challenges that the industry has faced. this one is different. >> reporter: ayman, i have to say, i got chills when he said at the end of your skype intervi

[applause] >> thank you, mayor breed. this has taken so long i have worked with two district supervisors. i was excited when mr. walton became the supervisor. hhe is a warrior for those not represented as well as they should be in the political discourse and communities disconnected from what is happening in the rest of san francisco and has been a great partner to make this project happen. i don't say he micromanaged. he called me on many, many details many times. he was well aware of everything happening with this project and please j

city. we have to work together, and this is why -- when, first of all -- [inaudible] >> the hon. london breed: -- i was like, no, you're not, but then, when she told me she was doi doing, i was excited for that. but i've always felt we need something else. we need something that follows in this regional approach, and we know there's been a lot of suggestions how to do that as it relates to changing policies and investments and what we should be doing across the state and in the bay area, and we need someone to really bring it together and to provide those wraparound supportive services and to work with organizations -- established organizations in various communities to try and make sure that we are collaborating more across our city's lines. and that's why i'm really excited about what she's going to do, and i'm going to go crazy when she's trying to do it because she's going to be reporting to me on a regular basis. let me just say this. you know, so many of you i know who work to help people on a regular basis, whether it's direct case management or support, some of you do so

city. that should actually make everyone upset, and that's really what this fight was about. ian: what decisions do you make as a planning commission? rolando: well, the biggest one that we make is that we advise the city council on land use policy regarding the city moving forward. so, for example, what the skyline's going to look like one day, or something as simple as a permit to build on a piece of property in your community. in many ways, we impact and touch your day-to-day life, what you're going to see, the structures you're going to see, what your community is going to feel like. are we going to be close to public transportation or not? those are questions that come before our body. we obviously weigh in. we're a quasi-judicial entity, and then we send those recommendations up to the city council for their deliberation. damian: so, before you came in, the views of the willow glen neighborhood were the ones that were predominantly being listened to because that's where the representation came from. do you think the east side did not have a voice at the table? rolando: w

a couple of things about this city. that video and what you saw does not represent this city. e represents our city. we are a community. the sfpd is a part of that community. we have a job to do, and our job is to investigate, to bring people to justice, and then let the district attorney do his job. we've made an arrest in this case. [applause] >> and our investigators are out right now, looking for a second person who we believe we will have arrested in the very near future. the arrest charges are robbery, hate crime, elder abuse, and a probation violation. now, i will say, our criminal justice system, you're innocent until proven guilty, so we'll let that process play forward, but what i want everybody out here to know, and i'll repeat the mayor and every elected official that's spoken, is we don't tolerate this type of behavior in our city. we shouldn't, we won't, and we don't. so let's not let it take a video for us to come together. there's many other people in this city -- supervisor walton spoke about the homicide on that friday. we're working just as hard on that incid
