to the salesforce transit center.you can see there, workers have given us the little head's up that the bus is about to roll into the station. >> i saw our photographer waving wildly saying take us, take us. they're coming. we've got jessica castro riding the first ac transit bus into the new transbay terminal. they have the ribbon up. are they going to drive through there or get out and cut the ribbon. >> i hope it's dramatic. i want to see that bus drive right through. >> i hope it doesn't hit the balloon arch. that would be more interesting to watch, wouldn't it? >> this could be. the suspense here. >> practically seriousness, the thing about this, because they've built that flyover ramp, they no longer have to go through traffic when they get off the bay bridge and then into the terminal, so that should be a little faster to get in to the transbay terminal. >> yes. >> it's also -- the thing you can't see, just above that ceiling, there's a fountain that goes along the stretch of where the busses park and you were

army barracks in the bavarian city of bam bag is the model for the new refugee centers to be known as anchor centers the acronym stands for a rival decision and return the key idea various departments which look at asylum applications will be together in one place migration agency labor office well federal authority even the courts the claim is that will mean applications it dealt with more quickly. with these centers the migration agency will in most cases be able to issue documents in three or three and a half months whether people are to be granted refugee status rejected. this new approach is the latest chapter in germany's effort to deal with migration since the increase in the numbers fleeing to europe and the government's decision in twenty fifteen to open the borders the challenge of making migration on this scale work has become clear. in many cases it has taken too long for people to find out whether they have a chance of staying in germany and that in turn has held up any chance of them finding a job or integrating into society. the residents of the facilities will be able

and agency treasure island sailing center, and the program name is treasure island sailing center summer sailing camp progression program. i don't think that i need to highlight palmeroy recreation center but we pulled this out as a program that we believe is serving the needs of our children with physical disabilities. we're very excited to be funding pomaroy this year and they'll be serving a very large group of young people for us. they'll be serving elementary school kids as well as middle and high school children. and so moving along our next group of service area is our justice services. and these are young people who are in the juvenile justice system or in the adult system. and so the agency name is -- each one, reach one and the program name is adapt. a dream and a plan for tomorrow. and agency 5t school and programs. and the program name is transitional a.t.u.s, resiliency. and there's a duplication. and agency name legal services for children. program name is legal services for children, justice services project. and the agency mission neighborhood centers. and the program nam

we've got francis in the weather center. how are we looking. >> looking cloudier and foggier at the coast. we could see a little bit of drizzle. here's live doppler 7 and the satellite image, stronger onshore flow that pushed the clouds inland and here's what you can expect. have this available searching the accuweather app. temperatures in the 50s with lots of low clouds and fog. clearing by noon except at the coast and then this afternoon that sea breeze will pick up 10 to 20 miles per hour that will cool things down for everyone. inland areas in the upper 80s, mid 70s around the bay and at the beaches and coast, we're only upper 50s to low 60s. the cooling trend continues. more details coming up. an >>> taking a look at the roads, our emeryville camera westbound 80 traffic toward us heading to the maze, no major delays for you, although the bay bridge metering lights are on that happened about 5:23. pretty early start this morning. first drive time in the red, westbound 580 tracy to dublin an hour you are solid there but

this includes both the center of excellence for senior services and the center of excellence for community services. perthe terms of the development agreement, this doesn't have to start until they open the new hospital, which will be august 25. so if you're -- you feel there's not enough information to judge this detrimental at this time, it might be a good idea to defer your vote on this for another three months. my guess is that cpmc's aim is to maximize attracting to the new st. luke's privileged, english speaking patients with major medical insurance, minimize its exposure to medicare except for short stay acute care in its geriatrics unit. there's no incentive to create a center of services that would meet the needs of the community in that part of town. so i think the diabetic center, the mammography and noninvasive cardiology is all going to be less accessible to the most vulnerable populations that need it the most, and that will be more evident in three months after the hospital opens and we see that cpmc hasn't gone around to senior centers, hasn't gone around to community group

well we haven't heard anything from the center p.f. yet no official statement but they are preparing for us to victory and that's what i have heard we have been seeing the opposition on the streets though there have been demonstrations and clashes between the police and the opposition today and they already started going out on the streets claiming victory yesterday when we didn't even have that many results he says been saying on social media that he is confident that he will win the presidency so you can guess the tensions will be rising here we can expect the opposition not to be exacting. the electoral commission so far and we'll have to see what happens as soon as the presidency is announced the results will start trickling in when it comes to the presidency as well shortly. observers have already given their pursed public assessment of the election what are they saying have deemed the election free and fair. well this morning it was only the african observers that have been giving that statement we're still waiting to hear from t

we have two kitchens here at the pomeroy center.ne is more of a commercial kitchen and one is more setup like a home kitchen would be, and in the home kitchen, we do a lot of cooking classes, how to make lasagna, how to comsome eggs, so this grant that we received has tremendous value, not only for our center, for our participants, but the entire community. >> the thing about climate, climate overlaps with everything, and so when we start looking at how we're going to solve climate programs, we solve a lot of other problems, too. this is a radical project, and to be a part of it has been a real honor and a privilege to work with those administrators with the sf carbon fund at the department of environment. >> san francisco carbon grant to -- for us, opened the door to a new -- a new world that we didn't really have before; that the result is this beautiful garden. >> when you look at the community gardens we planted in schools and in neighborhoods, how many thousands of people now have a fabulous place to walk around and feel safe g

has a big asylum center in the north of the country.hat makes it work is procedures in reality only take a few weeks. people do not stay there longer. so, the big question about these centers, the first of which opened in bavaria, is, are they meant to accelerate, a good thing, different institutions, including the courts, which in germany takes a long time, or will they become holding centers for those who are rejected for the long term? and that is not a good idea because that will invariably create tensions. brent: if i hear you correctly, you have some doubt about whether or not they are working. sounds like this is just a political tool used by the countries political leader. is that what we're just talking about come a political tool to make his constituency happy? gerald: nobody can be against accelerating asylum-seekers, least of all the people who watch protection. the sooner they have a decision, the better. if these centers are presented as the solution to the problem of returning those who are rejected, then it is a bluff. b

>> the library today is an opportunity center. i've been visiting libraries throughout the country this past year. i was in ohio and they have a session called beyond books. books you can check out, sewing machines, musical instruments. libraries are places that people can go into a community rural areas. every community has a library, place in that community where everyone is welcome. >> who can access the library of congress? can anybody? >> anybody can access the library of congress and technology you can access and download materials, photographs. you can access it electronically wherever you are and if you come into the building in washington we are pleased you can access us throughout the internet. >> 100% of the materials in the library aren't available. >> not yet be what we are digitizing are the unique collections. about a month president theodore roosevelt will be put up including his diaries and what he said on february 14th, the life has gone out of my life because his mother and his wife died on the same day in the s

like the diabetes center. i know where it's at when you changed someone's habit, they're likely to fall off. and i would need to see a map to see how the flow would happen. i think moving things under the foundation is a way of keeping things out of the public eye, which is very much the m.o. for cpmc. in the previous issues, cpmc didn't tell you that all their plans or all their new programs are all short term programs. there's not a single long-term program. which if someone needs a nea a r more of care, cbmc, we're out of that business. we don't want you. you go to the next place. the supplements that they provided. those are gone. so, i am highly suspect of anything cpmc does because they really are not into to long-term care for any san francisco an and i want you to be aware of that. it's always a double-edged sword. so i am highly suspect of this proposal. and i'm really thinking public accountability is needed where cpmc is because they will never do the right thing by anybody. thank you. >> thank you.

this commission it should be noted for more than 18 months we sent the sailing center and mr. wallace to go back. we care about what we do here, our responsibility is to uphold public/private partnerships. treasure island has to be developed. sometimes th all of us have to come to the middle to make things work. in fact, almost about nine months ago the village center agree with the negotiation and they came back here and said we can liver with it live with it and it was appeared by the sierra club. at some point pau all of us will have to get together wit in the interest of the city. we have heard from the other stakeholders that are looking at this marina from people with big boats and people who wul subsidies this and small boat owners. i am comfortable with the sequa that we have here. we went from 450 and we are now back to 220, that is a drastic reduction. no project is the alternative here and that is not good because we have a dela delap delapidated marina. i am comfortable after reading through the analysis because we have exte expertise and they are saying there is n

, communication center, also a center that hopefully will show people how to relate to their neighboringmunities, what else is happening city-wide. and, of course, this is sort of the ubiquitous form of communication. my cat is missing, call me. >> exactly, because a lot of times, even if you do have a cell phone, and people do if you're really trying to save some of your precious energy minutes, et cetera, or it's not working as well as it normally does, it is helpful to have a message board that you can get information to other people. and, so, that's what we're showing here. you can see people are going to be looking for their pets. they're going to be looking for rides. people are going to need to be sharing resources a much as they possibly can. another thing that you can see here is they're going to need to be fair tools and some of the things that people are going to need in order to be able to stay safer within their homes. so, we're just showing sort of a gesture to that with all these different tools here. but then also tarps, people are going to need to cover their windows if

i envision millions of visitors who will pastor the new center. many will be young people with hopes and dreams. it is these young people that i think about today. as i think about them, i reflect on the little girl that i was when i came to this country as an immigrant. immigrants can achieve great things when given the opportunity. mayor willie brown gave me this opportunity when i was entrusted to lead this project in 1998. for that, i will be eternally grateful. i hope my contribution to this center will inspire young people to learn about the meth and science -- learn about the mathematics and science behind this and appreciate arts and nature and marvel at the engineering and technology behind the structure. i do want to make the world a better place and leave a lasting, positive mark. most of all, i hope these young people will learn what it takes to make their dreams come true. to have faith in yourself and have faith in your vision. to have curiosity, passion, uncompromising integrity. decisive leadership, and above all, this is the most
