about the amnesty program under the amnesty program they talk about the massages in my you might include an accessory eye for the amnesty program. >> i believe see just to confirm that the accessory use is included. >> that's my understanding yes. >> dpw and planning correct. >> correct. >> for the cu the amnesty is for dpw correct. >> commissioner l. riley you have a question. >> i was wondering the accessory use is a cu process according the planning. >> correct. >> in terms of dpw for the permitting there's two exemptions they list in the health care concurrently so fits it is a state facility a hospital or medical facility or a barber or 'coz motive that defenses it in the process of their services they don't need a permit it says health provider but that will be struck out. >> so they'll need a cu. >> they will i'm sorry a dpw but in terms of the cu accessory use is required. >> so it is required. >> yep. >> thank you confusing. >> so just fire - can i ask diego for a chiropractic office medical services is permitted and massage establishment are not permitted but having massages th

the planning department and the planning codes are the sole practitioner dimensions as well as the amnesty program the massage from the conditional use authorization the city lose it ability to the planning process to weigh in an neighborhood issues this is one of the reasons that the land use were returned to local jurisdiction this exemption creates an initiative for one practice as a sole practitioner because of the racked land use process that is unclear from a land use prospective that a sole practitioner has a lessor land use than a regular establishment ate the lack of conditions of approval complicate the planning department issues and the planning department does recognize but use of the legitimate establishment and lucrative planning process we've been open to an amnesty practice those process that is skeleton and will be accommodated we'll like to legalize all the medical establishment as they were in the 2009 controls and the existing land use controls for medical uses used to govern the process and if you're in a location that requires a conditional use you'll be required to h

or will there be amnesty in regard to the grandfathered code. >> amnesty is in the planning code. the last one i mentioned the last time we were here. >> it might be good for the record if you can present those. >> substitute for legislation in the finding section we are going to acknowledge the usefulness validity of massages of profession as suggested by the community and ensure the health and sanitation are realistic practice and not burdensome and to provide reacceptables for towels and make sure that we have not list of offenses. only if you are convicted, not just currently charged with but convicted of crimes. we are planning to add the definition of the sole practitioner to clarify. currently in the health code it says a sole practitioner establishment, but it doesn't say what a sole practitioner position is and we are going to remove the tier general and advanced practitioner license and just one that will require 500 hours of training and remove the temporary permits excepts those from out of state. if you have an out of state temporary practitioner permit you have a 60-

turning to shocking new numbers linked to the executive amnesty fiat. the obama administration has granted 541,000 social security numbers to illegal immigrants under the president's original 2012 deportation amnesty for dreamers. our next guest says that means almost all of the illegal immigrants were granted berkowitz, social security numbers, opening the door to tax credits to driver's licenses and joining us tonight is the author of that report on the washington times . so now we have gillian melcher and stephen diamond with us. so stephen turning to you first. in short order, if you will the impact of what you reported here of half a million people being given a. >> this is the problem with executive action is that you have unintended consequences to that. when you get a work permit that goes along with this amnesty you also are allowed to apply for a social security number and the social security number, the work permit and the social security number together make it easy for you to get a drivers license. if you have a drivers license and a social

amnesty not just to the 4 million people he has granted amnesty to, but to all 12 million people living illegally in this country. she refused to answer that question. she refused to acknowledge any limits on the president's authority. i posted little harder. -- i'd put a little harder -- i pushed a little harder. i said, could the president -- your theory facing all of this is prosecutorial discretion, the president could decline to prosecute laws. i said, could the next president instruct his or her treasury secretary under the theory of prosecutorial discretion, we will no longer collect any taxes in this country above 25%? she refused to answer this question. now look, i think that is great policy, but the way to pass it is pass it through congress and make it a law. [applause] senator cruz: and i tried to go even further. i tried to come up with what was an absurd hypothetical. sitting next to me in the judiciary committee with my colleague john cornyn from texas. i said, imagine, ms. lynch, in 2017 president john cornyn. could that president using prosecutorial discretion announce

we have twice as many illegals now as we did with the previous amnesty 25 years ago was passed. that's the issue. will enforcement happen, and the stumbling block is that people are demanding the enforcement systems be fully in place, up and running before we get to amnesty. mark: you mentioned 1980 six under president reagan. the president actually signed a law that was passed by congress and then president george h.w. bush did a similar action. talk to me about states who are challenging the immigration order. they say they are being harmed economically. is there any substantive evidence to back up that claim? mark krikorian: there is. the point of the lawsuit, 26 of the states are suing the federal government to stop this announced amnesty, which is in limbo now. their claim is this is the federal government imposing costs on the states. the issue, the immediate issue is -- should the amnesty program, that the president has announced, stay in the deep freeze until the full lawsuit is resolved. if the president is allowed to go forward with it the cost c will impose on the sta

of whether - >> that's in item 4 seemingly like to item 4. >> item 5 the motion to recommend the amnesty i can add more of the specific language and then i think you've also expressed the sentiment that the need for a discretionary review has not been convinced there's a need for a conditional use process that needs to be reconsidered and that - the like type business. >> we're convinced that this is a progression that should potentially be include with other like progressions that does require not require a conditional use and perhaps what commissioner adams is getting at we would courage the planning department and the supervisor to look for ways to help non-conforming currently existing massage entrepreneurs to remain where they are understanding that there's a legal requirement for any business to have a permit where it exists so we can't go against the law find a way to amend the law that allows for a grandfathering and not just is we're going to disregard the law add something into the new legislation to permit grandfathering and that's something we're - i'm with the exception perh

amnesty international tells a different story. accusing the government of horrific human rights abuses putting torture and arbitrary arrests. >> certain groups are being targeted. those that fall out of favor with the government. such as members of banned islamic groups, but also critics. >> despite such concerns, the german military an airbase in southern uzbekistan as a hub for troops moving in and out of afghanistan. the buddha's beer -- the bundeswehr pays annually to use the facility. >> we need to keep the uzbek base as an option. >> germany's he opposes the military abroad and wants the military out. >> we urgently need to address the issue. >> amnesty international demands a conference of boycott of uzbekistan. they have launched a campaign to dissuade germany to demand an and to torture. the german foreign minister says he already does this whenever he meets with uzbek leaders. >> in sports, the soccer shock announcement. jurgen klopp says he is leaving the german club at the end of the season. >> the former coach is to r

so we are deeply concerned in this country about the president's executive amnesty, the unlawfulness of it, the breadth of it the arrogance of it to the point that it's a direct assault on congressional power and legitimacy, direct attack on laws passed by the peoples' representatives, and we've got a big problem. ms. lynch has said, flat-out that she supports those policies and is committed to defending them in court against any complaint about it. so i think congress has a real role here. we do not have to confirm someone to the highest law enforcement position in america, if that someone has publicly committed to denigrating congress, violating law of congress, violating even wishes of congress and the american people. we don't have to confirm anybody. it's a power congress is given. the president is asserting powers. we will be doing what we have a right to do. i think we should do that. let me know, i'm going to quote -- i was going to say this anyway, but i was pleased that mr. andrew mccarthy, who prosecuted some of the top terrorist cases in america former u.s. attorney, assi

so why was he given amnesty to be here in the first place?ood evening, and why is this man given amnesty? >> he wasn't supposed to be. the agency that administers this now admits they flat out goofed on it. they said that they, his gang membership was in the databases. it's unclear whether they checked the database and approved him anyway or just never actually followed through on the checks of the database. that's something that congress is going to get to the bottom of. but they're admitting they goofed on it. there are 20 other, at least 20 other moanknown or potential gang members who have the same flag in their file. >> game members from where? >> generally they're going to be latin-american gang members. these are criminal street gangs. even more interesting, this guy was actually in deportation proceedings. he was awaiting deportation at the time that he was approved for the amnesty and at that point, the immigration judge went ahead and closed his case. so he would have very probably been deported, wouldn't have been in the country to

amnesty also calls on the toolz stop target iing female human rights defenders.ke to amnesty international's sect general on the phone from kabul to talk about this. the bottom line of your report seems to be there's a lack of followup when it comes to afghan police officials seeking people who deny women justice. this sounds like something cultur cultural, something difficult to reverse. >> i think at the outset, we have consciously profiled cases where not just women are activists, we're focusing on women in public life. they could be doctors, politicians, engineers, policewomen, lawyers. you know, it's just in a sense women being targeted as emblems of women breakig through from the private sfeef and occupying public positions. they are being deliberately attacked. second thing is also that we have to understand it's not just the taliban. i mean the problem in afghanistan is much more deep rooted. it's a societal problem. we should not complete this. islam justifying it. i think the main point our report makes is, yes, there's long-term issues, but the questio

just last week amnesty international accused hamas of committing war crimes. why are palestinians prepared to take the risk? >> that is a very good risk -- very good question. it is a risk, and that is the reason why for a long time the palestinian president refused to become a member of the icc. according to sources, hamas got itself recently got advice, and they believe in the end they will not want to be prosecuted for war crimes, but also, they would not want to prevent israel from being prosecuted for war crimes. becoming a member of the icc for them is a great diplomatic tool to raise international pressure against israel and push the most important agenda, which is palestine. it is risky for hamas, but a very strong, diplomatic step. >> how will they help them achieve an independent palestinian state? >> how will they achieve that? >> how will join in the icc put them on the roads to that? >> in may push the diplomatic pressure against israel, but the trial itself will not lead to an independent state. it might lead to a back-office pressure and peace t

his promise of amnesty, and he is actually carrying out executive amnesty after congress refused, hasration unlawfully into the country. we have continued to allow foreign countries to refused to accept back people that we are trying to deport. if they do not accept that, then they should not have other citizens admitted here. more row in your department is the lowest in the government. indeed the even filed a lawsuit against your predecessor because the department was blocking them from carrying out plane law, and deportations are down 41% over three years, 25% over last year. 160,000 criminal aliens are on the streets, and now you have announced a program to fly people from central american countries who apply for refugee and parole status in those countries to the united states of america. courtesy of the u.s. taxpayers. all of this has i believe a loud millions to conclude that if they will be successful. we have to change that fundamentally, and if you do that, i think we can make progress. in fact, i would note you have gotten a good bit more resources, although border patrol nu

they didn't have any exemption we're working with the planning department to put together africa amnesty promissory note program right now it's a thousand dollar fine if you're illegal illegally operating as long as you get our application ♪ the it will we'll not enclose fines and want to acknowledge in the past we didn't do great outreach we want to do the outreach to the stakeholders and the massage businesses to understand the policies and procedures >> commissioner ortiz-cartagena. >> on the proposed new permit is sfpd one of the referral agencies. >> yes. in order to get a massage permit i have to get a background check. >> to the sfpd. >> okay. >> thank you very much thank you. >> supervisor tang. >> welcome. >> thank you good afternoon, commissioners thank you very much i think cindy did a pretty good job of running down the challenges we're dealing with in terms of the health component i have a s a depression sheet for someone that owns a massage establishment that can clear up questions just to speak broadly i have a package of legislation for the amending of the go health code

it's complicated in terms of the amnesty program. this is the best solution to come up with to capture the most people and they would be allowed to continue in operation. >> depending on how this goes, if we get to this point where legislation is enacted and the zoning precludes it, what happens day one. am i out of business or do i have 18 months for remediation. what happens? >> that is something, the legislation does take effect within 30 days right after passage of the board. i think we are going to do our very best. we are still trying to comb through the list of what businesses those involve. so once that happens, once we have that information we are going to try to figure out what that plan will be. you talked about or you mentioned non-conforming uses. we actually thought about can we just lou -- allow some of the establishment grandfathered in for non-conforming uses. these businesses had to have been legal at the time than whatever the current zoning was in place. unfortunately some do not have the proper permits. so again,

amnesty advocate luis gutierrez next month in houston.ush and gutierrez have been named keynote speakers. bush has labeled his amnesty plant plan the quote grown-up plan and told voters in new hampshire he could be supportive of a path to citizenship for those in the country illegally. currently there are 20 states with religious freedom restoration laws. only four of them have public accommodation laws that protect gays and here to talk about what is motivating the protest against indiana when so many other states have similar laws and another 12 states are considering adding those laws joining us is lis wiehl, fox news analyst, author of "lethal beauty." also erin erlick, attorney. good to have you with us. let's start with why why is this happening in indiana? >> because i think pence and his whole group went too far in this legislation and what he did, what pence did, is he put this legislation akin to illinois when then senator barack obama voted for it. but then you look at the illinois law and you look at the indiana law and there

according to a worse by amnesty international, some two dozen women and girls have been taken by bokoam since the start of last year. here is "france 24" catherine clifford. catherine: last year 10-year-old sammy was adopted by boko haram ram while at school. the teacher told us that boko haram was here, and he told us to run to the river, but we could not cross. it was too deep. the man came on a motorcycle and that he was not from boko haram and he was coming for help. when we got out of the water, he took out his gun and said he was boko haram and he took us. his father managed to reclaim him. they now live in this area in southeast niger, among some 1300 nigerian refugees. half of these are children. here, they are being offered psychological support and the courage to deal with their trouble. "they came here is a member of boko haram burning a vehicle here it is someone who had his throat cut." not all have escaped. in particular, the extremist group are taking young women entering them into cooks sex slaves, and even fighter. >> one girl is 19 years old, and she told me that she
