that is the concept of the amnesty program. you would have been permitted, but now you have been rezoned. if you do not have this outlet, bad deals with this issue. commissioner antonini: i was part of the eastern neighbor of discussion. many of us felt the demand was not as great as was allowed in the eastern neighborhoods. i think that has proved to be true. we are been more than accommodated in the area set aside for pdr, especially in neighborhoods to the south that are almost entirely industrial. we have to have the ability to address the changing needs of businesses to come into san francisco. whether they fit into the available space -- they may be knowledge-based or tech or some other things. we have to look at this carefully. in regards to this particular issue, i think the longer time is certainly warranted. up to perhaps a year, which would make it january 1, 2013. i think we have to look at the fees and see if these fees are realistic on the legalization. on doing some calculations, i think we are looking at $10 to

the rights group amnesty international said armed militias have threatened the security of libya. they say the rebel brigades that helped to topple gadhafi are now torturing those accused of supporting the regime. it accuses the national government of the lack of political will to deal with the militia. the bbc's gabriel gatehouse sent this report to tripoli. in benghazi, the celebrations have begun before the anniversary of the revolution that toppled gadhafi. but for thousands of people held in dell tension accused of loyalty to the regime, there's little to celebrate. amnesty international cataloged evidence of wide spread torture including beatings and whipping, people suspended in contorted positions and subjected to electric shocks. in 12 case, human rights groups say prisoners have died under torture. amnesty international accuses the militias to be behind the abuses of the brigade rebel fighters who operate independently across the country. >> and they are not being held accountable for what they're doing and -- >> in the past few week, the bbc has seen corroborating evide

like amnesty to me, it sounds like pretty punishing or someone calls it amnesty. so amnesty has become the one word that could kill an idea. oh, that's amnesty, you know? which is very dangerous, because it really confuses people and people don't then know how they should feel about a certain issue. at one time they were calling the fence a wall. now, when i get asked, and i've been asked in groups in texas and groups in california, how do you feel about the wall? you know, to kind of put me on the spot. how do you feel about border security? well, you know, i think every country in the world has the right and the obligation to secure their border. you know, it's not against immigrants, it's just securing your border. and you don't have to be apologetic about it. and i said that. but it's not a wall, and it's not a wall that goes all the way across, it's a fence. does it make sense in a functional basis? probably a little bit, but the reality is that 40, 50% of the illegals that come in come in in airports. so, you know, the airplane just goes right over the wall.

this amnesty was offered for three years and expired on january 19, 2012. recently, the eastern neighborhood cac asked for a an extension, and this is a response to that request. the department recommendation is to support compliance to be planning code through a limited extension of this program. we recommend a couple of changes. one is the length of the extension. the department recommends approval of the extension of this program, and even suggests lengthening the extension to six months. since this program was ending in january 19, three months would not allow both adoption of the law and time for the department to except the applications. but extending it for six months would allow three full months for property owners to submit their applications for this program. the second change which are proposing is to codify the process after the letter is issued. currently, once a letter of legitimization is offered, there is no time limit that the property owners need to submit the required applications. while it is important to extend this program, it is also

you know, is there really, and as am amnesty international acknowledging our role as a global movement that unites people worldwide on behalf of rights recognizing that that agenda, you know, needs to legal studies fleck the rights that are uppermost, you know, for all the members of that move 789, you know, not just some, but, is there really -- is there any kind of a clock on this? is this really legal levining this? it's not a u.s. domestic context. it's not very often invoked here, more and more beginning to be, but certainly, globally, you know, they are really difficult to contest. >> guest: yes, and one, i could absolutely see the dynamic, and the way that feeling compelled to move into different areas and again, i want to emphasize in many, many ways, i see this as a remarkably positive advance, something we have to be extremely happy about and proud of, and in my discussion, i only want to also raise some small capitals, and yet, it -- on the question of what might change now, seems this is always evolving and the way the rights captured imagination, it's also the case that we

that's according to the rights group, amnesty international. they're saying that the same rebel bringing aids which helped to oust muammar gaddafi are committing torture and detention, indeed, even execution. it comes as libya prepares to celebrate the anniversary of the beginning of the revolution this friday. gabriel gatehouse is in tripoli, and i asked if this is a sign of things getting worse. >> i think what apple nest sea detailing is evidence they picked up over the last few months, so i hesitate to say it was getting worse. what we can say is it's pretty bad at the moment. they detail extensive cases of torture and detention, whipping, beating, people being held in stretched positions, electric shocks and the like. and these are things that we ourselves have seen over the past few weeks when reporting from libya, both in the city of misrata, libya's big city, and elsewhere. i myself went to see the body of a man in the mortuary who has the marks of torture, beatings, and according to the nurse who conducted the autopsy, electric shocks.

and amnesty discussion, you know, our dollar, we are human rights of tickets, and our job is to bring the best human rights lens to whatever the debate might be. at that interagency table, where you have the state department human rights bureau, and you might have the pentagon and the treasury department there are different voices that table and the facilities of that conversation have to put all together. human rights is only one piece. but the question is do you see it as the response of the body of the human rights advocates. it's rather their job to be the human rights of voice in the debate and what the rest the political process. >> guest: this is a great question. let me clarify one thing about this. in my mind, that is an example of the success story because what we have done there, and i talked to some of the women involved in the efficacy so i don't want anyone to think that i'm critical of that effort, quite the opposite, i want to see that that was an example of a cooperative relationship with the city. they were not talking about, it moved outside of the demand of rights

one of the first ever reports and human rights was produced fifty years ago by amnesty international the named in sixty's so thank you one commission on human rights becoming active in condemning human violations which were also documented in an annual report ten years later another international organization joined in it was human rights watch despite so many international bodies doing the job the u.s. state department decided on the issue in its own human rights from. inventin seventy six and document often contain scathing and now it says on abuses originally in the u.s.s.r. and later russia another country highly criticized in the u.s. state department reports china decided to strike back and came up with its own account of human rights violations in one to ninety eight russia has always alleged the u.s. state department report was biased and question the right of any nation to bear. however december two thousand and eleven so russia's foreign ministry issued its own report on human rights. well the us department of say the united states was criticized criticized by the soviet un

at the amnesty discussion we are a human rights advocate and our job is to bring human rights lands tohatever is the debate may be. it is that inter-agency table where you have the state department, the human rights bureau and you might have the pentagon and the treasury department. you know, there are many different voices on the table and the facilitator of that conversation has to kind of pull it all together. human rights is only one piece, but i guess my question is do you really see it as a responsibility to human rights advocates to do that weighing up or is it rather their job to be the human rights voice in the debate and let the rest of the political process and the other actors balance it out? >> guest: this is a great question. if i could clarify one thing about the san francisco neighborhood. in my mind that as an example of a success story because what they have done there, and they talked to some of the women involved in this advocacy so i don't want anyone to think that i'm critical of that. i want to say that is an example of a cooperative relationship with the city. t

as the president of the american farm bureau, any new amnesty would have the same result. because of this, u.s. employers often face a shortage of available american workers to fill seasonal agricultural jobs. there is no numerical limit to h2a visas yet half farm workers are illegal immigrants. why don't more who have demands make use of the program? in 2008, the department of labor concluded that the majority of growers find the program so plagued with problems that they avoid using it all together. this sub committee held a hearing in which witnesses described what was wrong with the program. growers believe that the labor department, which largely administers the h-2a program is hostile to them and the program. growers are troubled by the great cost of using the h-2a program, especially the adverse wage rate. growers have to build free housing for the guest workers. america needs a guest worker program that is fair to everyone it impacts. american growers, farm workers, consumers and guest workers. a program must provide growers who want to do the right thing with a re

i think i think doctors without front is like human rights watch like amnesty they can't suddenly feign surprise about what's actually come to pass in libya because there's a pattern here of merging isn't that so-called human rights organization who obviously have a western centric eurocentric coloration on everything they seem to provide the quote unquote human rights justification for western. policies or foreign aggression then once these countries are to stabilize and it's a failed states via the nato or you know natural western the military aggression then they suddenly are surprised. but they all along have been used and perhaps allowing themselves to be used in actually in justifying a human rights so-called foreign intervention and then feigning surprise but i think it's interesting what they've said and it's quite clear what's going on is that they've doctors without borders has said very clearly that we are being used by the libyan rebels so basically to make better those detainees that have been tortured so they can be tortured again so the torch a state which libya has now d

is there really -- as amnesty international acknowledging our role as a global movement that unites people worldwide uppermost for all the members of that movement, not just some is there any kind of turning back the clock on this? is this a live debate now or how do you see leveling the current state of the discussion with your ideas given the way that things have unfolded, and the fact that this language of rights is not so much in the u.s. domestic context, they are not very often invoked here although we think more and more they are beginning to be, but certainly globally they are difficult to contest. >> that is a great question. i want to say a few things. one, i absolutely see the dynamic and the way that the human rights advocates would be, would feel compelled to move into different areas because those are the kind of concerns that are foremost in the minds of many of the people they are dealing with, and in many ways i see this as an advance we should be happy about and proud of, and in my discussion i only want to also raise some small capitals, and yet on the course of what mig

they collected nearly $5 million in unpaid traffic tickets and fines under the amnesty program. that's according to the washington examiner. when the program kicked off last summer, the department expected $6 million in fines would be raised. the dmv said some people are using the payment plan, so the money is still coming in. >>> it was back to school for kids at anna costa senior high school today. a fire ripped through the building causing damage. school officials determined it was safe for everyone to go back. the fire broke out on the roof, which was under construction. students were in class at the time, but everybody got out safely. >>> a bizarre custody battle. a woman says she was tricked into giving up custody her own daughter. her name is christie, she's 29 years old. lives in plymouth meeting, pennsylvania. she met her baby's father through online dating. she says he told her he was a wealthy divorced businessman who worked for the cia. after dating a few months, they were talking about marriage. and gaffney got pregnant. she claims the father whose real name is emmi

brutal only humane according to amnesty international amounting to torture according to many us legal scholars and i mean there's many reasons behind this but i think the u.s. government certainly sees a treatment of now from the beginning both as an example to anyone who would seek to expose the crimes of the american military as a more broad as well as a fairly trance. you get us on the founder of wiki leaks. you know the u.s. government is seeking to eventually exit. so we're trying to trying to go after wiki leaks for the release of documents some believe that manning should be treated as a hero not a criminal but of course the leaking of potentially dangerous defense information it's got to be punished surely. no i don't think so i think that what has been exposed has been the crimes of american militarism i mean one of the talk allegedly of first of all should be acknowledged that manning is not been convicted of anything but one of the videos that he's alleged to have leaked was shown the massacre of iraqi civilians by a u.s. helicopter this is information that should get out t

of a dick or lies that were in the beginning of parliament most of these parliamentarians making amnesty law criminal forgive themselves not because yet you look at once there was a discussion about the sentence of a woman who was to be stoned to death. being the shari'ah judge he didn't want to contemplate that the woman could be at least symbolically stoned in the square not being hit but still insulted because he was told that it was still a crime in any case and at a certain point was the response was well should be hit with pebbles then by a lot of. good will be. charitable. for example if women do not obey islamic law and aware strange clothes and go out seducing per young people. especially those who don't have the possibility of getting married. in our opinion this is not the right behavior and no more now we have beautiful laws which appear to be all up to protect women's rights so. they're there for them and pushing up those laws are in the hands of the word large. think that there was a shot of the power so we need to change our mentality we need to change their point of view

new life after amnesty, a lot of people were not able to immigrate because of a lack of money. still to this point, i see a lot of immigrants who want to get their work permits. i ask them how long they have been here. sometimes they have been here since the 1970's, 1980's, 1990's. a lot of them are elderly who are ready to retire. i had 165-year-old man who is alone, no family -- a 65-year- old man who is alone, no family here, but he does not have any papers to get that social security that he has contributed to for 30 years. he will be homeless after working for many years. i faced this situation with my clients a lot. i help low income people. sometimes it is very difficult. sometimes i think about how small the world is a and i see how immigration laws are changing. immigration rates started about 40 years ago and i started to see my client to come to me. my husband has been here 10 years and all of a sudden, his employer is asking for a work permit. we have two children. we just bought a home. what are we going to do? i could not provide a work permit, so i said, just hop
