western edition, you grew up in fillmore and you basically rolled up your sleeves and wanted to see cheng in the community and you have definitely become the change we want to see. so today on behalf of the board of supervises, we honor you and commend you. congratulations. [applause] >> thank you. thank you, very much. i definitely won't need the two minutes cause you just summed up everything. first and foremost, thank you to you and supervisor cohen for allowing us to be a part of that great event last night. i'm looking forward to next year and the year after that. that was amazing. i'm just grateful to be able to be in the position to give back to the community i grew up in. and to be acknowledged for it is just the use on the cake. i-love it. i really believe in nobody gave me the opportunity when i was young, i wouldn't be able to do it and it's my duty to help the generations going on and on. next, they will be the new program director and director when we're done and running this show if they got time because they do a lot of other stuff, too. they'll figure it out. i'm just grat

quan, we have a commissioner who excels out of the box in thinking and in creating positive cheng, i think he would make a phenomenal one. >> thank you. supervisor kim. >> i've known i'm for a number of years. someone from the academy of science as so many of us do but also as a great person in the community. when he approached me, i think, a month ago letting me know he was being nominated in my position, i remember telling him i wasn't sure if i would do that to one of my friends. but he really did pass with flying colors and i have one of our board members at the clean f o s program. he really did respond to some difficult programs. i did let him know as a friend, i still couldn't support him until i saw him go through the committee first. i also know he personally understands the difficulties that many of our residents have for their utilities. that's something he will be particularly sensitive to and so i think it's important to have someone with that experience on this commission. he's someone that definitely has a can do attitude. before all of this, i was really impressed to

(laughter) >> supervisor campos, i can always count on you for that. (laughter) >> i would say even if we were to insert tangible language saying that we wanted to get assurances that 20 percent would be exactly which is what we built, 20 percent should be built for sure. the project sponsor hasn't really expressed a willingness to do that. and there isn't really any flexibility with the items we're going to be voting on today. so it's really an uncomfortable position to be placed in frankly to vote against affordable housing which is what i'm doing but it's a position i must take in order to communicate an important position of process. and being mindful as the development happens in the southeastern part of the city or any part of the city that we need to be assuring that we are following our own process and ensuring and assuring our constituents that the

the only thing that will cheng is when they start willy-nilly killing a lot of americans.s too late. you wait until the guy is on the plane on the way to kill us you didn't act and you weren't a leader because you were listening to your political advisers. your first point is right. there are times you can ignore these things and that's a political campaign tactic. don't describe what the enemy is saying or don't describe what your opponent is saying because you highlight it. we get that. that politicalh0mç0e#?jñro5%h(yáczw3çyçé a2#>w6%liixo4ç7 áéglluçÑç) when you're the commander in chief you have to be a national security leader. that's not a brq ìgcl$ it's a political campaign probable miss. >> now that we know that jihadçv(jx;,ñ john came from a lot ofuújtó money as did highjackers and osama bin laden. money was not the issue. hate was. >> let's have an apology from marie harp. if sea said that's not what i said, we would respect our government spokesman more and then the public would have a sense we're doing the right thing. >> all right rick obviously referring to th

their parents 41-year-old christopher lucas and 45-year- old jenny cheng are due in court charged withegree cruelty to children. their kids remain with child protective services. >>> there's now a second confirmed case of measles in the district. we understand it's not linked to the outbreak in california. there's no indication the two cases in d.c. are related to each other. d.c. health officials say it's unclear how the new patient contracted measles. >>> ride sharing companies like uber and lyft are completely street legal in virginia now. governor terry mcauliffe signed legislation which regulates how ride sharing companies operate in the state. virginia has allowed the companies to operate under a temporary agreement since this summer but it is now officially a go. >>> home schooled children in virginia are one step closer being able to play public school sports. the generally assembly has passed legislation cha would allow home schoolers to play sports for local area schools they don't attend. the bill leads it -- leaves it up to the local school boards to implement the policy. i

your book -- seniority would now be based on money north legislative skill, and you attributed that cheng to him when he was in charge hoff the democratic congressional campaign committee. how did that manifest itself in reality, this notion it wasn't based on merit that you would get a very high ranking position in congress but it would be based in large part on your fundraising ability? >> this go back to the '94 election when the democrats lost. martin is one of the few people i've ever met in politics that didn't just like fundraising, he loved it.

that would be eric cheng, the director of aerial imaging at dji. let's get this started.orn oddsson is with the civil protection -- >> yes. >> you are going to help me kind of describe what's happening. we have the cameras on the drones. we'll get into that lava field. somewhere we're not allowed to go. >> no basically not. >> too dangerous for a human. >> and all the way into the crater where you have temperature up to 2100 fahrenheit so it's very hot. >> and that lava field is the size of manhattan. >> yes, it's 85 kilometers but has been pouring on to the area here and it's flowing 40 kilometer as way from the mother volcano underground and comes up here in this crater. >> that's what's amazing. while we're doing this we're able to see through eric's cameras what the drones are seeing so eric will stay quiet and focus because he's a responsible drone operator and has a lot of experience in this. does it excite you that we're going to see parts of science and parts of the world that we've never been able to get this close to. >> it's very interesting technique that you
