we're deliberating here. >> chris buck, public works. prior to. prior to the permit being issued, we would need the landscaping permit submitted. >> okay. so thank you. this would be a motion to grand the appeal and overturn the order denying the tree removal and issue the tree removal permit on the condition that the appellant first obtain all necessary permits to install a garage and a driveway curb cut and also obtain landscaping permits so that additional sidewalk landscaping in the public right-of-way could take place, and those are two rewe can whi can -- prewe can requisites, ae are conditions to be approved by the department of urban forestry within a few feet of the proposed driveway. >> that's all fine. the thing that i'm suggesting is a protection of the neighbor. the neighbor has suffered damage, so what can we do in -- as part of the -- the permitting process on the garage and the completion of that job to also ensure that the neighbor is -- is cured? >> i personally think that that's -- what's before us is just the tree. >> yeah. >>

we did ultimately meet with chris buck on the 10th. which would like to smith pictures that include written analysis, as well, so i would ask the board for their permission to circulate copies of those documents because they are relevant to this hearing and it would be to prevent man test injustice against appellant as the discussion is relevant to the discussions with urban forestry, but also in support of his appeal. i have 11 copies of these documents here, and i ask request to circulate it. >> well, i'm not going to -- you can submit it, but we're not going to have time to review it. >> so this is to avoid a rehearing. we met with bureau of urban forestry on april the 10. one of the main concerns expressed by the bureau. >> if you're going to talk to the issues of the case, then we're going to start your time, om? >> that's fine. we can start the time. >> if you have a potential settlement, then you can go ahead and present that. >> president fung, we don't. we don't have a settlement, we don't have a -- >> okay. why don't you go a

chris buck or reporting. before the papers, let's have a look at the weather.e scenes in washington, cloudy, grey, outbreaks of rain, which sums up the picture very well across much of the uk today. there are been some sunshine around across wales, england, northern ireland, but the best of the sunshine, 14 hours of it actually in shetland because in shetland and 0rkney have been to the north of these fronts which continue to slowly work eastwards overnight. and you might see some outbreaks of rain but you will also see heavy and in places thundery showers, with a line running down from southern scotland, northern england into the midlands and the west country and they will push eastwards, bringing thunder and lightning and perhaps clear spells developing as the night moves on, the further west you are, you will see the media shower, els loud and patchy rain in parts of northern scotland. not a cold night with temperatures between 10— 15 as the overnight low. speaking of low, here is the low pressure responsible for the unsettled week and still with us first th

. >> chris buck, san francisco public works bureau of urban forestry. just a couple of things, not so much rebuttle but just confirming some of the feedback that we've heard this evening. just reiterating that the owner did apply to remove both trees with the intent up front to replace both trees. correct when a tree is removed it be replaced and of course it's subject to meeting guidelines that we have. i apologize. i tried hard to get a copy here before you so i can have that with me this evening. i don't have that with me. it does appear that a colleague provided the old director's order as outlined. i completely understand the frustration and we're not trying to purposely move goal posts on anyone. the appellant's brief really stated that they're confused and frustrated. it is confusing and it can be frustrating. i've been dealing with this issue for five years and with public works since 2005. you have to really love trees to stay in this job that long. because really, my job is an educator, it's not to move the goal posts, we want to explain and b

. >> >> good evening commissioners, chris buck with san francisco public works urban forestry.excuse me. my voice is a little shot too. thank you. the two subject trees are formally eucalyptus now it's in the gene us and they are a large tree at maturity. at this point they are becoming mature. the sidewalk is very narrow. the location, we'll talk about that. it's a six-foot wide sidewalk from building facade to the start of the sidewalk. not face of curb but to where the curb starts so 6' sidewalk. both trees have damaged the sidewalk repeatedly. the tree to the left on the downhill side did have the sidewalk repaired by the property owner and we did work closely with the property owner coming out to verify what roots were pruned and removed. whether or not it was destabilize the tree was the key issue. we were at that point. if the roots that were cut at that point in time would destabilize the tree we were prepared to approve it. we were surprised that in fact the roots that had to be cut were small enough it would not destabilize the tree we went into that site visit with a

that's a big problem. >> david: chris, especially with what buck just said, john brennan going on tv, his clearance covering the specter, giving his words more weight. i'll put the same question to you, if the answer is no, and given what buck just said, then is john brennan being honest or somewhat disingenuous what he's doings on cnn or on any of the other channels? >> i watched a lot of that interview earlier, and he did not say that the president was out ofe line, and he did not say -- he did say, though, that he had new information that was widely publicized including the don jr. meeting in trump tower that most of us didn't know about until this last summer. so there are more information that has come out, and i think this is led him to believe there's been some sort of collusion, not necessarily with the president, and maybe a conspiracy that involved americans that needs to be dealt with and needs to be uncovered by mueller. as for the president stripping his clearance, look , i don't think any of us believe that a president should use the power of his office to retaliate agai

joining me now for reaction are buck sexton, a former cia analyst, jim hanson, president of the security studies group, and chrisahn, who's a former aide. gentlemen, good evening. good to see you here again. let's dive right in and begin with john brennan. this is what he had to say earlier on msnbc with rachel maddow. >> i was very concerned and aware. >> while you were in office as cia director before you left on inauguration day, did you conclude that u.s. persons were successfully leveraged in that effort? >> no. >> now, i'll go to you first, buck. if the question is asked if the concern was there and the answer is no, then why is john brennan going the way he does against the president? >> that's a question that i don't think anybody can answer, including john brennan if you push him enough. people are talking a lot here, david, about how it's unprecedented to pull a clearance in this way by a president. but it's unprecedented that the most recent cia director not to just be critical of the president but actively undermining the president. calling him a traitor, in fact. this man is the commander in chief.

bucks after her home warranty drags its feet. well, we ran with this one. i'm consumer investigator chris chmura.ittsburg woman who took matters into her own hands when she wasn )t getting emergency plumb >>> nbc bay area responds to a pittsburgh woman who took matters into her own hands when she wasn't getting emergency plumbing service she expected. >> she needed our team to get paid back. chris chmura helped her out. >> lisa silver versus her home warranty company. lisa wrote us after a toilet malfunctioned one sunday afternoon. lisa said it needed immediate attention, so she called american home shield, her home warranty company. they said they would have to get authorization for after hours out of network plumber and they'd call her back. lisa said they never did call back. after hours of trying to reach someone lisa hired, her own plumber and paid them $520 to fix the toilet. she then asked american home shield to reimburse her the $520 and was denied. so, she called us. we made contact with american home shield and it paid her $520 bill in full. the company did not respond to our request f

chris collins. he surrendered to the fbi this morning after being indicted on insider trading charges. prosecutors say he helped his own family make illicit stock trades to avoid almost a million bucks in losses. house speaker paul ryan released this statement moments ago saying, quote, while his guilt or innocence is a question for the courts to settle, the allegations demand a prompt and thorough investigation by the house ethics committee. insider trading is a clear violation of the public trust. until this matter is settled, representative collins will not be serving on the house energy and commerce committee. whoo, that's pretty strong. there's been no statement yet from president trump. collins was the first lawmaker to publicly back him for president. >> you're going to start seeing a presidential mr. trump. he's talked about it, shifting into a more presidential speech-giving, policy positions, and demeanor. >> wow. joining me now, nbc news investigations reporter tom winter, outside the courthouse in new york. and former assistant u.s. attorney for the southern district of new york, nick ackerman. nick, you can probably tell tom where all the good food trucks are down there

bucks since 2011. that's just sort of in the way we've been headed. are you going to see anyone fight the president on this? >> i think you'll see pushback. think chris is right that out in the country there's a sense that the federal bureaucracy is bloated. but especially from members of congress who represent these federal workers and from the government workers themselves, this is the president sort of showing contempt for government workers for members of his own bureaucracy, and it is petty and vindictive in their view, and this is not a traditional republican who, you know, is running on a general platform of fiscal responsibility. there are a number of tax breaks he's given and groomed the federal deficit that way so this seems like a particularly punitive example. >> is it a bloated bureaucracy or punishment? we'll find out. >>> coming up, one of the key players says he's now bracing for special counsel mueller to charge him. plus, a celebration of life. a live look at detroit, michigan where aretha franklin will be remembered and honored today. and in the next hour, senator john mccain, he will lie in state at the u.s. capitol rot d rotunda
