and so if there's any pressure, any perceived pressure or any real pressure then we're not going to succumb to that and we're always going to exercise independent judgment and do what we believe is lawful and follows the facts. and as i think said in my senate questionnaire, you know, i was brought up under lady justice in the justice department. and with everything that i've ever been a part of i've been pressured. as an assistant u.s. attorney received inquiries or letters from congress. i have been pushed on hard by special agents in charge of certain agencies, by judges. and i've learned that you've got to maintain your position, listen to what they have to say, weigh it but make an independent judgment, not be bullied and not be pressured. so i think pushing those values down to make sure everyone's on the same page with values. and then doing our work as we need to do in an independent fashion. >> mr. thompson, we discussed this when we met. if you did receive that undue pressure, inappropriate pressure or asked to do something you felt didn't meet your moral beliefs or your belief of

any other questions or comments? some of the things we've talked about in anybody's been involved in law enforcement say this is an issue nationwide police officers are judged as a group every officer in the nation is applying for that. so something that i advocate for immediate out from this turmoil every time something this occurs less of some type of national standard holds all law enforcement officers accountable to at least a certain standard. just a quick example with restraint we discontinued that over three decades ago in our department and to find out it is still a packet that is taught and used across the nation is something i was completely unaware of. so i'm a huge advocate for some national things. that's all. >> any other questions or comments? >> craig? so yes. we have for a number of years been following under the standards i believe back in 2009 we initiated that. the cultist to a high level and so a lot about what we are doing today we have certification standards reviewed every three years with an

such statements targeted at any community or any religion.on what basis you're telling me all this stuff about harmony and unity in india today — are you not aware that the fallout from your own government's citizenship (amendment) act has included the office of the un high commissionerfor human rights calling that legislation, which, of course, is fundamental to your government's programme, called it, "fundamentally discriminatory. " first of all, a lot of misinformation and lack of knowledge about attacks is leading people to make all sorts ofjudgements. let me tell you first of all, number one, the so—called citizenship (amendment) act does not apply to a single indian. do you know that? 1.3 billion indians, muslims constitute 200 million out of that. the caa does in no way affect them. so, no discrimination. secondly, and most importantly, it is not a full act... it is pure religious discrimination, mr madhav. in india, there's no discrimination... your message to the world is that you value... ..in india. no, your message to the world is

reports or any data around that? >> i haven't. but it would be a very interesting thing for us to do. if it has not been done. >> ok. thank you. supervisor ronen. >> yes. thank you so much. i wanted to appreciate this discussion and so that you all know that i'm working, you know, mental health s.f. is our road map to how we're going to fix our broken mental health system in san francisco so i'm looking at whether or not we do sort of an interim version of it, given that budget realities -- both budget realities and care different realities. like they do a first phase of it and second phase of it as we come out of this recession. so that's something that i'm just starting to look at. but it would be great if we could collectively work on that together and use that as a guide for these budget discussions. i think we can think about the policy in relation to the budget deficit. but not let the budget deficit totally control the policy right. we can have an informant. we create a mental health s.f., imagining we were go

donald trump will pay any price, make any deal, bend any law, to assure his own survival and success. >>> go to cnn.com/fareed for a link to my washington post column. and let's get started. >>> in his book, john bolton backs up testimony from the house impeachment hearings that president trump withheld hundreds of millions of dollars of security assistance from ukraine to try to get kiev to investigate joe biden and the 2016 election. my next guest, petro poroshenko, was president of ukraine from 2014 to 2019. in that time, he worked with both the obama and trump administrations. president poroshenko, it is a pleasure to have you join us. >> thank you very much, indeed, fareed, for this opportunity. >> president poroshenko, in reading bolton's book, or the parts dealing with ukraine, one learns again something one has known. this came out in the impeachment hearings. president trump believes that ukraine or some elements within ukraine don't like him. and he feels that very strongly. in fact, he says it in words that i cannot repeat on television. he feels very strongly that the ukra

any commissioner comment? commissioner ukudio. >> so i wanted to see if i can simplify it, to make the budget reductions work, basically how you're doing it is cutting some of the program's budget? is that the short answer? is it the way you'll make it happen, the programs will get cut a little bit? >> to a certain degree, yes. if you're taking a look at -- one of our key programs is the business assistant centers and cutting some of that salary and trying to offset it in different ways. though, the person who is in the sbdc program, it would definitely be a salary reduction. and then, trying to offset some through our operational expenses and then -- through the program cut wouldn't that we would not be at this particular point in time asking for additional funding for the business assistance grant at this particular time. >> and other than the small business development center, will there be any proposals for salary or wage cuts in any other parts of the department? >> no. >> thank you. >> any other commissi

thank you. >> any more questions? madame clerk, i don't think either counsel has any time. >> correct. ms. powell, why don't you take two minutes? >> there were no valid rule 11 proceedings to take the guilty plea, but mainly the first judge should have recused already, he mysteriously recused a few days later for the same reasons that would have existed when he recused 7 days later he should have recused immediately and the government knew that information but general flynn didn't. the second guilty plea colloquy judge sullivan did was not a full colloquy at all. he ended by asking many including how this was material and how this impeded the government investigation. all of that is refuted completely by the extraordinary exculpatory evidence that mister jensen disclosed that was hidden from the defendant for three years. that makes this case different from every other case. when that happened in stevens judge sullivan had no problem dismissing it at all. he didn't inquire behind the two page motion to dismiss, basic

any other commissioner reports? >> this is steve and i just want to say what everybody has been doing is great and these have been hard times and the one thing i'm very optimistic about is we'll be able to open up so soon. we're going to do new items, aren't we, on the agenda here? i don't see that on the agenda. >> we didn't get it on the agenda. >> i just want to -- manny, i want to put out there, because i would love to be working with some of that, because the one thing that we really all have to talk about now is the opening up and that will be a big thing and i think some of the speakers today gave me some ideas and my head is just rolling right now with all sorts of crazy stuff with this, but i do think that they'll start slowly opening up and we need to be ready for that. we need to be sooner than later, but i think week by week, you'll slowly see stuff and we really need to be on top of this. >> two thoughts about that and one is, as we start to open up, i've spoken with several business owners and there's

have there been any conversations with dr. nesbitt about what we are seeing in the next -- what we will be staying weeks?ng mayor bowser: we have been preparing for a surge. we continue to have that surge capacity in place. i think our best thinking suggests that anything that happened over the weekend, we may not see for two to three weeks. i want to emphasize to people the testing capacity that we have, and the facilities we have made available in the district, one thing that dr. nesbitt is concerned about -- this should not surprise any of us. the numbers of people seeking tests have dipped over the past week. i want to emphasize that we made a news site available downtown. we have had at least a couple people go through that site. that site is available. i am not sure we have discussed this yet, but because we have been working out the kinks, we are going to make testing available across the city, as well as a number of fire stations. two have operated that have served largely people in the neighborhood. and a rollout plan

although of course without any apps you cannot know whether your in any restau ra nt you cannot know it? ok let us move on to shun. this is a question from marcus bailey. can you please confirm that my car insurance will remain valid within europe, even though the uk government is currently only advising against all but essential travel? well, as we have been discussing, next week we are going to see the government actually lifting restrictions and saying which countries we will be able to travel to and that will include changing the foreign office travel advice. as it stands, if you go to any destination where the foreign office is advising against travel, you invalidate your insured and straightaway. that normally refers to insurance, but i do not see any reason why it should not apply to current trends as well, but fundamentally, if the foreign office is saying should not travel a destination, he should heed that are not go there, but those restrictions look like they're likely to be lifted very soon so i do not wait date of travel were talking, but if at that time the foreign off

you hollow out any interest in governing, any ability to even work on legislation. have this great anecdote which i did not know before reading your book, which is that when mike pence was in senior leadership in the house in 2009, he sort of led the way in firing all of his legislative staff and replacing them all with messaging people, with communications people. i mean that sort of almost literal hollowing out of what they're supposed to be as lawmakers is radical but there's definitely some imperative that's pushing them to go further and further in that direction as fast as they can. there is reward that they're getting in this sort of feedback loop that's pushing them consistently in this direction? >> you know, governing is hard. it's time consuming. it requires hours of endless unglamorous work. i think republicans have had to make a choice between being pundits and trying to seek and acquire and maintain power or m or rolling up their sleeves and doing actual, meaningful policy work. they ultimately have come to the conclusion that it is vastly easier to be

commissioners, any questions?commissioner yekutiel. >> commissioner yekutiel: thank you, very much. and we look forward to working with you over the coming months. obviously, we can't speak whether we support or don't support the ballot measure. i have two questions. one, the ballot would be on in november, we're currently bleeding -- bleeding small businesses -- you know, in our city. so what are you working on between now and november? and what do you think that you would work on if it doesn't pass? >> yes. so most of what this changes or will that we have in our planning code -- so, you know, we are certainly trying to expand our program and just process permits quicker. we recognize that, you know, this process can't be as long as it takes for many small businesses to get through it. so supervisor peskin had an ordinance before -- or a commission a couple weeks ago that would kind of require us to process c.e.u.s associated with small businesses and neighborhood commercial corridors. in kind of the timeframe t

or any time today. reporter: have the federal authorities and national guard aware of the fact that people are voting so that they don't have to explain what they are doing? mayor bowser: the federal authorities and national guard, we can make people aware of voting, but i don't expect that that will be an issue. reporter: were you aware that arlington police were in the city last night assisting? secondly, the county government there, statement saying they pulled their officers out of the city based on what happened in lafayette park. do you have a comment on that? mayor bowser: i wasn't aware that they were here. i can tell you that we didn't request mutual assistance. i saw a tweet from them i think last night saying that the mutual assistance process was abused. and i want to make very clear that we didn't request mutual assistance. for those not familiar with the mutual assistance process, sometimes, especially when we have large scale events, you are probably most familiar when we did the inaugura

and no evidence of any of the black lives are matters protesters in that area.rotesters in that area. but these were the pictures from a few minutes earlier. police were trying to contain it. these are the live shots in trafalgar square at the moment. police have been trying to keep the protest away from an anti—racism demonstration going on starting in hyde park. that has so far been completely peaceful. the demonstrations you are seeing now are claiming they are there to protect statues, some singing the national anthem, and amongst them we believe a number of different groups. some possibly from the edl and otherfiery rat —— other far right known groups. but possibly a mixture of different people gathering from different parts of the country, possibly. we are not entirely sure of the numbers as of yet. but this how the question of statues and the black lives matter initial protest sparked by the tragic events in the usa has proved a polarising. our correspondent chi chi izundu is in hyde park for us. she spoke to us earlier from a height pack —— from hyde par

any fears you have of looting, do not tell your constituents that any curfew would keep us safe.ing of which, we have listened far too long to the police department telling us that, oh, they have a crisis with covid. if that was true, they would not be putting people that are unfairly arresting so close together. if that was their priority, they wouldn't care about looting anywhere near as much. i think it is important to recognise when you are fighting a racist power, it is not enough to not be racist, you need to be anti-racist. the same goes fo for authoritarianism. for the supervisors who still serve the city, and thank you to those who oppose the curfew, show us you can be antiauthoritarian leaders. stop aligning yourself closer to people like trump. no one wants a city under danger, that's obvious. so defund the police right now. every single caller before me has said the same thing and a lot of them said it better. but i'm one more voice amongst the many. show us you can be leaders. thank you. >> next speaker, please. welcome, caller, you have up to two minutes. >> hi, the
