alliance between the saudi family the saudi royal family and some western countries what this will do is it will put more pressure on the western governments to try and change their policy here now of course saudi arabia is considered to be an ally for how long could this continue and many people are speculating that maybe the western governments might reconsider might soon reconsider their alliance and why. it was all you're right would they be doing that first of all because we have the uprisings currently happening which puts more pressure on the on the u.s. government on the british government the saudi arabia until now hasn't taken any steps towards political reform and the other reason is that saudi arabia when it becomes more annoyed that saudi arabia is the main source of this extremist there were late to a popular vigilance for example in the u.s. in countries like britain by believe that this report and more similar developments would put more pressure on the on the u.s. and all of these western countries. hard i promise oh there's artie is critical of him standing by the ar

i'm from the urban agriculture alliance. i want to address the question about funding because we have heard from city agencies and nonprofits. so many are passionate about getting this work done but we need funding to make it happen. we are all excited about expanding the role of the city in supporting urban agriculture but we need to think in terms of what that should look like in terms of supporting community organizations doing that work. centralizing is an important step toward supporting the grass-roots level and some of that is having a central coordinating role in city government or nonprofit that could link people with bill people they need to be in contact with to activate public land or get resources that are available like the community opportunity fund. right now, it is disjointed and hard for a community group to do that. ongoing, the important pieces are seeking funding for this position and looking for some model of community over size of a different consen

i want to bring up our partner representing the san francisco parks alliance. >> thank you. the park's alliances deeply honored to have been able to give and assist the family of betty ann ong in raising the funds that have paid for all of the equipment that is inside the speed of only building. the ping-pong tables, the basketballs, tables, chairs. all of the equipment was paid for through the private philanthropy that we have been able to raise. your tax dollars at work -- how many times do we hear that, and it is a little bit on the cynical side? take a look at this building. your tax dollars, my tax dollars, phil's taxes, the mayor's taxes, our taxes paid for this building. we all should die in. every taxpayer in san francisco chipped in a little bit today for the beautiful new building -- we all should die in. what do you think and this use of our tax dollars -- we all chipped in appeared what you think about our tax dollars at work? [applause] we paid for this building through the 2008 parks bond. if you like this, just wait until what is coming in november. we have an

i think there is no alliance has been very successful and still maintains its core mission which is to keep the peace in the trans-atlantic area in particularly in europe i think it's performs a great value in contribution international peace because it provides transparency and prevents dene nations from europe from re nationalizing their militaries so that way there's no competition or rivalries within europe but they're all united in one security organization that keeps the peace well george you really think it's very hard to take that seriously about you know national militaries in europe right now i do see the possibility of conflict among european countries today in two thousand and twelve. so the question of seeing it today we don't see it today because we have the benefit of nato that's existed now for over sixty years but the problem is if we look at other regions in the world that don't have these type of successful healthy and positive security organizations we see all of these rivalries nato was created to solve the historic rivalries that had existed in europe for centurie

in fact, the park's alliance was involved in all three previous bond measures, all of which passed. we have improved citywide parks, all across the city. there are highlights. the first is playgrounds. the park's alliance has introduced a playground report card, which scores every playground in the city for its safety. it has identified those in greatest need of repairs. the latest edition will identify 16 playgrounds that are failing, that you would not want to take your kids to. this would address all 16 of those failing playgrounds. then comes the waterfront. you have heard about the blue- green way. this would include strategic investments that would realize the vision that the parks alliance has for a long-term collaboration with the port of san francisco and many other agencies to completely transform the waterfront that supervisor tells bird was referring to. we are pleased to see -- that supervisor elsbernd was referring to. we are pleased to see this will reduce maintenance costs and help update the parts for users, and again, will reduce maintenance costs, which is importa

i also wanted to say that they are building other alliances, not just the progress of workers or allianceere are other efforts to fight for minimum wage or the paid sick leave law. up until the recent victories with the wage and task force, cpa has led in the fight for workers' rights and immigrant rights and equality in health care, education, and housing. i am pleased to present the executive director of cpa. thank you. [applause] >> oh, thank you, eric. you said most of what i wanted to talk about. first of all, it is an honor to be here. it is not just me. we are having a war party at the office that i am supposed to be at. a lot of times, we come to the podium here so much being oppositional or passionately defending our position, and it is just nice to come and accept an award, so thank you for that, and i do just want to say, giving crops to the people who helped found cpa, it was not just in the 19th 70's. it actually started in the 1930's with a chinese organization for unemployment rates in the 1930's and fighting for unemployment, which is what we are fighting for now, still. b

i know that the alliance has identified sites within each of our districts. i also know that the waiting list for the community garden in my district on 16th avenue near fulton has a huge waiting list. i think it is a good goal that residents seeking plots should not have to wait more than one year or access to apply their other efforts. i am appreciative that the president appreciates the advocates from the alliance that they have made for funding in the position and incorporating as much as possible from different stakeholder groups. i would love to be added as a co-author as well to expand its of that san francisco is a leader in urban agriculture around the country. thank you. supervisor cohen: i also have one quick comment. i wanted to also comment on the fact that the haight-ashbury neighborhood council, the recycling center, they have a lot of relief -- there is a native plant peace to that project and plots that people are using to plant. i believe that they've worked collaborative lee with the farm over the last couple of years, and it is a great way

and in libya a liberal bloc the national forces alliance is celebrating success in the parliamentary election held earlier this month but the group claimed almost half the seats reserved for political parties the muslim brotherhood fared fairly worse with just over twenty percent of the party places the lawmaker bodies to to appoint a transitional government and oversee the drafting of a new constitution coming up next hour in fact about an hour and twelve minutes from now we interview journalist patrick hays on libya for now a quick preview for you. notes for nato intervention last year i think these elections should really have been something to celebrate the election itself has been administered by the national transitional council which was effectively cherry picked by the west rather that than actually selected by the libyan people it's an unelected body and there have been a lot of disagreements has been a lot of protests over the past nine ten months by the libyan people who are unhappy with the lack of transparency from this government there are unhappy with the fact that the

this item would authorize the general manager to execute an agreement with the greens schools alliance. and this partnership to sell more, more intentional educational initiatives to support the placement of members that attend the unified school district. the alliance is going to work really closely with the different enterprises here to be able to identify the benchmarks and out comes that kids kindergarten through fifth grade would experience a based on these members. it is part of a larger effort. we're trying to court made the regional efforts of that we can tell the kindergartners will all learn that. they all go to the waste-water facility. working with the school district, and that is the strategy we are supporting to make sure the kids hit out comes tied to priorities. president moran: any questions? commissioner caen: great idea.

but, through it all, the alliance held firm. and i invite those who protested then, i invite those who protest today, to mark this fact. because we remain strong, the soviets came back to the table. [ applause ]

again, i am so grateful for the philanthropy from the san francisco parts alliance, and in particular, the betty ann ong foundation and the ong family for your generosity and making sure that when the kids walk in here in a few moments, there's all kinds of incredible stuff to do, and maybe even a ping pong table for me to duke it out with the mayor.

we still see a civil war taking place look at the situation and libya because the alliance to france and other western countries turkey qatar involved the process of killing still continue even after he is gone what they want to syria they want the same thing destruction of a country so they can have their wars in the middle east and they have their dominance over the middle east. as you say certain elements of the global community here eager for dominance in the realms of the middle east some people say libya some people say iraq but let me let me ask you this before run out of time and i do apologize for the shortness of time here what will the outcome of syria if the rifle factions fail to implement any peace plan could it be the violence escalates and the un has no option but to dive head first in. well i think the i think the president of syria he started the real meaningful dialogue and i think he has to stand by the people and he have to actually look for ways to ease the violence and maybe those people who smuggling weapons and interfering maybe he has to put an end for that

-- alliance surveillance program. in u.s. industries direct commercial sales, defense trade is a promising avenue for deepening securities corp. with almost capable partners -- cooperation with our most capable partners. our ongoing work is a critical part of fostering that cooperation. each transaction creates new opportunities for training, for exercises, for relationship building. it also supports our industrial base, with roughly one-third of defense industry output supported by defense exports. this is important for american jobs and for our ability to invest in new defense capabilities for the future. india has been one such country that with -- that would benefit from changes to our system, while in new delhi earlier this month, i announced that my deputy will work with indian counterparts to streamline our respective bureaucratic processes, to better enable defense trade. it is clear to me that there is more that can be done to facilitate defense cooperation with our traditional allies and our new partners ali

more than a strategic alliance. it's a force for good in the world. america's support of israel should make every american proud. we should not allow the inevitable complexities of modern geopolitics to obscure fundamental touchstones. no country or organization or individual should ever doubt this basic truth, a free and strong america will always stand with a free and strong israel. and standing by israel does not mean with military and intelligence cooperation alone. we cannot stand silent as those who seek to undermine israel voice their criticisms. and we certainly should not join in that criticism. diplomatic distance in our public between our nations emboldens israel's adversaries. by history and by conviction, our two countries are bound together. no individual, no nation, no world organization will pry us apart. as long as we stay together and stand together, there is no threat we cannot overcome and very little that we cannot achieve. i love this country. i love america. i love the friendship and passion w

are speculating that maybe the western governments might reconsider might soon reconsider their alliance why. would they be doing that first of all because we have the uprisings currently happening which puts more pressure on the on the u.s. government on the british government the saudi arabia until now hasn't taken any steps towards political reform and the other reason is that saudi arabia when it becomes more annoyed that saudi arabia is the main source of this extremism there will a through a popular vigilance for example in the u.s. in countries like britain i believe that this report and more similar developments would put more pressure on the on the u.s. and all of these western countries. lawyers for the b.b.c. a planning to appeal a court order that banned the broadcaster from showing a documentary about last summer's riots in the u.k. the film was due to be aired on monday but has now been shelved until further order by the judge it explains. the bonds program is the two parts to huge draw involving actors reading excerpts from interviews with two hundred seventy people involv

welton gaddy is president of the interfaith alliance, one of more than 40 organizations that have written bachmann and her allies to protest their calls for an investigation. patricia is here, writer for "newsweek" and for "the daily beast." reverend, i want to get to the heart of this thing. here you have michele bachmann, a member of the house intelligence committee zeroing in on one of hillary clinton's closest aides and saying that she ought to be investigated because she has relatives that are questionable, and therefore she is questionable. a lot of good republicans on this point. john mccain, john boehner, lindsey graham, scott brown, marco rub beau, rubio, ed collins have all said this is bad. we shouldn't be doing this mccarthyite stuff in this country. a number of politicians like rush limbaugh, john bolton are are all defending this scurrilous attack on this woman who has worked for her country and for secretary clinton. what do you make about what is going on right now? >> well, i think you pegged it, chris. the way you described it going into this segment. we're talking about

believes this news will cause some countries to reconsider their alliances. i think this proves what many people have said all along that it is saudi arabia which is the main export of radical all of this religious extremism of the radical elements and i think how they handle it just it just explains why what you guys under what guys we're talking about what sort of terrorist groups are we talking about here while we're talking about you know for example the extremism those people who are now are for example of causing violence in syria or those who were sent to chechnya are the pay people of groups in pakistan even our car there as well we have to have to say here that some elements of the royal firmly do also have their contacts and have contributed as well to our car either but more importantly i think that this report. that sheds light on the. alliance between the saudi family the saudi royal family and some western countries what this will do is it will put more pressure on the western governments to try and change their policy here now of course saudi a

to them, they feel like they voted for a party or an alliance that will take them forward toward what they call modernity and resolve a lot of issues that they're looking forward to being resolved in a post-revolution country. >> how independent are the so- called independent candidates? i was reading that the muslim brotherhood think they might gain support amongst these 120 seats reserved for them. >> that is not clear at the moment. it makes it kind of dangerous for us to track on that ground, just to has the majority in these upcoming national assembly, which is made up of two hundred members. 120 seats are for the so-called independent candidates. we do not know how they are aligned. others are being convinced over the last seven to eight days, as people took to the polls here, to either join the muslim brotherhood party, or the alliance led by the former interim prime minister. many assumed that independent candidates are more likely to go toward the winning party at the moment. it makes more sense. the muslim brotherhood members may gain a lot more seats than many expect. they

airways standalone is extremely happy to be in the star alliance. we believe in it and were very happy, but these combined airlines would move the u.s. airways revenues, the 13 billion in revenues into one world that would have a nice balancing effect for the three alliances. one world has fallen behind, much like americans. and so by moving u.s. airways, you create much more balanced alliance, which is why willie walsh yesterday in this town made positive comments about the murder as well -- merger as well. >> as you just said, willie walsh said it was an aggressive strategy that put this merger on the table. what is your plan b if this doesn't work? >> well, we are highly hopeful that the process has been laid out, which i don't know we haven't seen, but the process we understand exists is the right process and they won't need be a plan b, but the process that comes forward out of american will indeed provide a fair and level playing field for all proposals to be reviewed and we couldn't be more confident in that case our proposal would prevail. s

from community leadership alliance. they saw the need, a lot of those folks live in the neighborhood. part of the things they wanted was his food is good food and is inexpensive and offers an alternative to a hamburger or something else at that time and it is very popular. not everybody works nine to five. i just got wind of this that he made an agreement with the police at 3:00 a.m. and i think he should honor that. i wish he talked to me prior to that. i think you should be a man of your word and maybe we will look at it in a year and if there are no reports, may accept 4:00 a.m. at that point. he is here for any questions that you might have. commissioner joseph: i find it offensive just so you know that you give us this boilerplate security plan that has no relation to the venue. what it maybe there is not a high security risk, but i think the security plan should somehow reference the actual venue it instead as being some boiler plate security plan. it does not reference the specific place at all. that is just a co

it was the sort of alliance that haunted southerners. captain rogers faced two problems. one, he knew under maryland law and baltimore ordinances he could be held liable for anderson's escape. secondly he was determined to recover his $23. he concluded best way to resolve both problems was to keep anderson on board rather than put him on shore in norfolk or some other port along the coast where he would be forced to answer potentially embarrassing questions. once the ship dropped anchor in jamaica, the drama took an unexpected turn, as a frequent visitor to jamaica, captain roger admitted he was like lip to lose anderson. in a similar incident two years earlier, two charleston, south carolina slaves were freed from another boat which had docked in kingston, and the refusal of the local authorities to hand over american fugitive slaves who had escaped british territories meant that rogers knew he was unlikely to get his way. his problem was compounded by the fact that he knew he would likely face prostitution in maryland for allowing anderson to escape, keeping anderson be

and the nato alliance with the pakistan over their supply route to afghanistan. how do you see that in fact the operations in afghanistan global a military point of view of course the supply lines are very important it's cheaper to go through pakistan in many cases it's safer and so having pakistan on our side is critically important but at the same time we have to look at why pakistan and you know closed down those operations pakistani government felt that our kind of violating its sovereignty and any number of occasions not as violating sovereignty but actually killing pakistani soldiers mistakenly but whatever they were unhappy with that and they continue not to be happy with that so if we're going to have pakistan as an ally we have to seriously address their concerns about sovereignty issues i think we have a larger scotian a regional discussion that involves pakistan as a autonomous actor goes somewhat toward their goal of being taken seriously as a sovereign state it is a sovereign state with interests in the region many class send let. benefit this this s

i appreciate some of the organizing efforts that have been a, particularly the alliance for a better district 6 to reduce the amount of region while i have less concerns with this approval of the liquor license transfer, we have a major one coming up at walgreen's. i did have some questions about why the hours were extended from 10:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. given that the store will be located, including visiting the site to ensure that alcohol is not taken in by miners. and the potential public safety issue that can arise with the proximity. the grocery store similar, i think the location does raise what needs to be addressed. i would like to request the continuance of this item to be able to know what the appropriate hours might be. had to get a clear sense of the precautions. i think i can propose july 31 as a reasonable amount of time. the target did reach out to us. i wasn't able to take that time to get those. president chiu: a motion to continue takes precedence over motion to amend, but let me ask if there is objection. the motion to continue, is there a second? any objection to
