a notice of violation related to fire safety, they will be made aware of the consequence for not abatingty violations within the specified time period and be made aware of this new law. in addition, once a building owner has reached two or more notices they will receive a warning letter letting them know they are a recipient of the order. negligent landlords need to understand if they don't take life safety then there are clear and serious consequences. i would like to thank many people who worked on this legislation starting out with the incredible rosemary who is now retired for developing this idea together with my chief of staff, caroline who have worked on this for many years and are really the brains behind this incredible piece of legislation. thank you caroline and rosemary. i hope you're watching. i also wanted to thank the fire marshal, dan decosio. jamie and bill from dbi. and then a huge thank you to anty displacement coalition for help in developing this legislation, especially justin and tommy from the housing life committee and rose maria from the tenderloin housing clinic

should they take steps to abate the violations out there now? if the board does deny the appeal, that doesn't prevent the applicant from moving forward to still working with the city. if anything, in my opinion, it will crump it. >> it doesn't but also it doesn't affect the long-term resolution at all. whatever our action is. i wouldn't have an expectation. this board and it's power as stated by the councilor on the previous case, was really true at one time. it's less true these days. you know, when we had the ability to review and either change conditional use which is not far off of what a d.d.a. is, there it was entirely different. i'm just saying that the actions of this board, whether you want to take the high road or not, really has very little impact because the actions of the city attorney and their lawsuit and perhaps sediment at some point in time is really what is going to bring it. and then we'll pick up the very minor pieces. this board could assist in that, you know, whether it's the processes of certain types of permits or things

then there's the trade dispute between the us and china, which shows no signs of abating.'s get more on this story from our asia business correspondent karishma vaswani, who's in bali for us. tell us more about the global outlook and to what extent it is more gloomy than the previous one? sally, the international monetary fund released its world economic outlook, its assessment of the global economy about 3/2 hours ago here in harley and they were very clear. in the language it used in the world can —— economic outlook, they said there are clouds on the horizon for the global economy and one big main reason for that, it was what you are saying earlier, trade tensions between the world's two superpowers, the us and china. the imf has downgraded its forecast for economic growth to 3%% but has also downgraded its forecast for the us and china because of the strait tensions. for this year and next year, even though it says these tax cuts are benefiting the domestic economy in the united states moving forward , economy in the united states moving forward, the trade tensions wil

markets, it's a mixed picture in asia right now, and the dramatic swings that marked last week have abated now, but investors remain on edge. voters in latin america's biggest economy have chosenjair bolsonaro as their new president. he secured 55% in the second round runoff. let's take at the look at the big economic issues in his intray: brazil's economy is currently emerging from the country's worst—ever recession, growing 1.0% in 2017 after two years of contraction. it was once one of the fast—growing so—called brics. unemployment has begun to decline, after reaching an all—time high last year. but almost 13 million brazilians remain out of work, with the unemployment rate at 12.1%. another major headache for the incoming president will be the country's ballooning debt. the key to reducing that will be an overhaul of the country's generous pensions system, which the incumbent michel temer tried and failed to reform. and brazil's new leader will be hoping to usher in a new era of accountability, after a string of high—profile corruption scandals. the state—run oil company petrobras last

a trade war showing no signs of abating between the us and china could take a toll on shipping volumescertainty, new regulations relating to shipping fuel, which will drive up operating cost. a shipping expert spoke to me earlier and started with how trump's ta riffs earlier and started with how trump's tariffs are impacting the industry. we have seen relatively limited disruption in terms of the actual knock—on effects of the tariffs, but... so when will the major disruptions materialise? what you have seen so far is spikes in volumes as people try and get under the tariffs before they come into effect, and drops the next month. overall volume is relatively limited but what we will see as a realignment of some of the trade line. a lot of the complexity is based around china with shipping so as trade shifts from china to other south—east asian networks you will see a realignment of intra— asia trade and some possibly back to the us. so how is at this point trying to circumvent tariffs on chinese goods? well, manufacturing hubs can change. ships are obviously able to go wherever they wa
