bryson was one of those who died that day. family had to make the long trek to nairobi to identify his body, then return to the village to bury him. >> i'm very short on teachers. and may god keep his soul in peace. >> translator: when you start educating your child, it's like you have begun preparing him for his life later, but then it is cut short, even before the vision you had for him comes to reality. >> reporter: but those who are able to bury their dead are actually the lucky ones. here at nairobi's main mortuary, dozens of family members have been waiting more than a week to identify their family members and to finally take them home. relatives of the victims arrive early in the morning and leave late at night waiting for the conclusion. dozens of bodies have been released while many remain. >> in the coming weeks, there will be more than 100 burials like this across the country. families and friends saying their last good-byes to young, driven, passionate kenyans who hoped to return home one day with a university degr

. >> we have jackie bryson. >> good afternoon, i'm still jackie bryson as the beginning. i'm just more well informed as a jackie bryson and i'm very happy to see that the hot team finally made a public appearance. this has been difficult. the san francisco local homeless board has wanted to have the hot team come and make a presentation. we were hoping for april, but there seems to be a conflict with ms. messkin's vacation. thank you for that. we've been asking since february. she's gone since june. i'm again multi-faceting and a failure of the hot team. one thing that was not mentioned is their assessment which i'm having the mayor's office and human rights commission to look into because my ada rights were violated when i was stormed myself out of the hotel and i had to walk with my walker. i'm one of the lead plaintiffs for a private lawsuit against the winton hotel because of that. there are still a few clients in the hotel and until this day, i have to feind out why i was storm trooper out of the hospital. it was better at meeting my special needs as the place where

bryson is correct. that the hurdles to services often themselves are debilitating to people and requiring multiple appointments, multiple visits is very difficult for people who are not housed and they wind up. i helped a young woman get housed and it took 4 months because she had to have an income associated for her to move no housing and yet she was living in golden gate park. there is no question that she qualified and her health declined tremendously and she became very sick in the winter months and we had to get an alarm clock and cellphone to do that i do think there are system in place and ways in which housing is not always optimal for individuals because of the scarcity of housing, we push. the system does. there is not a part for homelessness as described. there is a department for disabilities and new york has one. that might be better for people who are disabled or even become disabled for those that are delayed and kept on the street. i think that's important. >> thank you for your response

. >> jackie bryson. >> public speaker: good afternoon, council. i'm here because i'm very concerned about what the mayor's office of hope actually does. you got a very rosy picture of all these wonderful things that they have done. i'm here as a poster child for the deficits and the biggest deficit has to do with not giving a formal access evaluation for people's needs particularly people who are disabled. how can you possibly meet people's need for access if you don't know what they are. that seems so obvious that staff will do that to you and working with carla and joanna and heather. the point being, here is a wonderful resource and how can you possibly put people in any kind of housing being at sheltering them and causing them to sleep on a matt on the floor which i physically would not be able to do. there are a lot of people. we danced too much, we got up and back down. how can you do that if you don't know what the needs are. there isn't even a protocol to feind out what it is this person needs. it's been very frustrating for me and i find

private john bryson. john bryson would visit the full battlefield. he became the curator of the union cemeteries after the war. there's another side to war that people sometimes don't want to hear or acknowledge. war has a grandeur. that's the flip side of the horror. more than 70,000 men in line in the full view. just think about that. they never forgot it. the men in the union who fought at gettysburg, always thought about watching those men coming towards them. and standing there. they said the site was beyond experience. may, 1864. even that as my rapture as i think of it. an american world war ii pilot wrote never did i feel so much alive. never did the earth and all the surroundings look so bright and sharp. i have my life. when you treat veterans and work with veterans, this must be acknowledged. in many ways, it's difficult to dealing with what's not in combat. how could one possibly approach that? by the way, they talked about fear. private frederick cut ler, the 72nd, pennsylvania. i had been asked how i felt going to battle. he says, well,

bryson evening and welcome >> testifier: good evening.. as per usual, i been sitting and listening. one recommendation i have but of course it's going to be your decision and i am -- is to extend public comment to 3 min. i don't believe that there is to be special dispensation for people to be given extra time. there are people here who struggled to get here and they need more than 2 min. not all are as practiced at speaking as i am and as i put it, ms. -- is the mother of invention which allow me have 10 seconds i can do it. yes. yorty know that. the reason i'm here not only is for the redistricting which we later, but i need to have a police report taken for an incident that happened to me there was silly person who did this -- on sunday where i found a person -- i watched him go in slow motion down to the sidewalk and then he passed out and he had a gash on his head. well, being a concerned citizen i have my cell phone that i called 911 and i almost needed to call the police on him. when the ambulance did arrive, we had to seminars and the officer looking for the guy who then ref

this week's book of the week is a short history of nearly everything by bill bryson.inally got around to reading this. it is the great travel writer's effort to educate himself and all of us on science, something that he says he was bad at at school but felt he needed to understand. the result is a series of tales about history's greatest scientific discoveries written in a way that is wonderfully easy to read and understand. you can dip in and out of the book so don't be intimidated by the topic, just plunge in. you're in for a treat. now for the last look oil, boarders water, many thing that spark disagreements between nations but this the first time i remember there being a monkey in the middle of an argument between two countries quite literally. let me explain. saudi arabia and sweden have been trading barbs and aggressive action for months now. it all began in january when sweden's foreign minister tweeted about a blogger's flogging critical against treechlt women. retaliating by barring speaking about human rights and recalling its ambassador from stockholm. th
