cities. many has been perpetrated by isis and supporters. prior to november 2015, isis was urging supporters to come to the so-called caliphate in syria and iraq. tens of thousands of men and women answer that call, but now they ask them to commit acts in their own communities using whatever means necessary. the attacks is meant to show the diversity of the eye adviisis. some use firearms and knives and other use vehicles to kill and injury dozens of people. at the state department, we are both pro-active in defeating isis. we train law enforcement in how to detect terrorist plots. this is what we refer to as ct. we often say we cannot arrest our way out of the problem. which is why countering violet extremism is so important. cve is umbrella term for range of activities focused on prevention, intervention, and rehabilitation, reintegration. you'll hear some people building against violent extremism. the focus here is the actual activities directed towards countering isis and other groups. th

city in terms of the city pair program, if there are already sister cities, that's a bonus. it's just to say that the network, i think it succeeds because it's not trying to take the place of any other network. and we encourage the institute for strategic dialogue to be friendly with any and all other networks out there. applicable to other global problems? and if and if so, is state using your model to attack other global issues? i'm thinking particularly of the climate change issue. i have read a lot of -- many american cities and governors and mayors seem interested in that issue. i wonder if they are partnering at all with counterpart cities through state? if so, is there a possibility of fatigue in terms of foreign cities, especially, being asked to partner with state on problem x, y, or z, do you see that a problem? michael: i think that we didn't invent the two-way exchange, the twinning program. i honestly don't know who started such partnerships. it's just to say that the model an be used for multiple policy priorities. certainly the connections -- i'll just say thi

what is a welcoming city a comfortable city for for the newcomer. and yet it is a city that the newcomer continues to flock to from from all over kenya why everybody's hopeful i think thinking that they will probably be the lucky one to get a job or to be or to be able to start something a small business or you know whether it's selling bananas by the roadside or fixing a car or being a cobbler with everything i think everybody thinks that there is enough of a population enough of an opportunity and i think the other thing that we saw just in our discussions around identity was that the city's a space that allows you to in a sense cut ties from from tradition and heritage you can remake yourself and i think the number of young people probably find that the that the city is a space where they can remake themselves they can imagine themselves to be something else but of course they then also find that it's not automatic it's very hard and it can be quite disillusioning let's look forward ten years. what would you most like to change in nairobi to make

all cities. granted, there are attacks in places where it's quite surprising like that town, that really small town in texas a couple months ago. that being said, mayors are not going to allocate huge amount of resources just because it's topic of the day or whatever. it's just to say that by investing or getting mayors to invest in social cohesion, kind of a know your neighbor kind of initiative, that's something that some cities can buy into and you know it's not going to upset advocacy groups or whatever. that's just to say this delegation is really important for us because it's sending these high level mayors to, priority country for us. please follow twitter and i'll update you on the progress of that. next i'd like to talk to you about the south by southwest festival. we have two panels. one is local leadership in the wake of terror. that will feature the mayors of chatanooga, orlando and manchester. i'm going to moderate which will feature some of our domestic and civil society partners. h

and i think this city has a great ambition to be different, and if hull can continue to be a city ofat will come from this year. thank you so much, martin. and that's it for our review of 2017. this year has been incredible. can you believe that there's been at least one event every single day? and we have been to most of them! and if you want to take a look back, you can go to our website. it's just bbc.co.uk/hull2017. and there's been so much going on, here are a few bits that we haven't managed to squeeze in. bye— bye. see ya! if you've not heard of fuzzfeed, where the hell have you been? all: where have you been? if you like your coffee hot, let me be your coffee pot! robot: i am a loose cannon. good morning, and a happy new year to you. before we leap ahead into 2018 and what the weather has in store for the week ahead, let's just take a quick look back at what 2017 brought us. strong and gusty wind. another lot further north offering frequent showers into northern ireland before sinking further south in the southern scotland, northern england, and continuing to affect them for

this is by city college. the balboa area has been increasingly facing challenges with traffic congestion and parking. we have seen in many other of our neighborhoods, we have seen this. the area is constricted by roadway capacity. the i-280 freeway where people exit and enter and existing topography. in addition to that, you have challenges even with transportation of bart, the balboa bart station. it's transportation in the morning when i stand there, there's actually a lot of people being dropped off using vehicles to get to the bart station. we have sort of a growing city college. we have new housing developments and existing neighborhoods that are all feeling the impacts of the changes. since the balboa reservoir is currently being utilized by city college as parking, any forthcoming development raises the issue of how the area can further accommodate the students, faculty, new residents and existing residents, transportation needs. this is why i requested an initial study on existing conditions and to he

this year we visit the 24 cities. right now we're going to show you several stops from our time in richmond, virginia. >> while until richmond, we took a driving tour of the city with merrill levar stoney. >> all right. mayor stoney, thank you for showing us around richmond today. >> thank you. >> if somebody has never been to richmond, virginia, what should they know about the city swl i think they should know that this is the cultural history arts capital of all things virginia. we're a city on the rise, we're drive, but imagine a thriving city with the backdrop of all the historic riches we have here as well. >> so we're going to a historic neighborhood right flou now then. >> we're headed to church zblil what makes it distinct? >> it's part of the original layout of the city of richmond. you're about to see the original part of the city right here on the right, saint john's church. >> tell me for those who don't know what happened at saint john's church, tell me about that spot. >> i know many people who have thei

can city college, for instance -- i'm not going to speak for city college. but my observation is they have also other land around city college that can be developed as a parking lot. so, that's my comment. i'm going to go ahead and ask my colleagues to support this sort of framework piece so we can move on and have both the developers and city college come up with concrete solutions. >> chair peskin: commissioner safai, do i see your name? >> supervisor safai: yes. i think these are all good points brought up today. i have been listening as supervisor yee, our districts are bound by this project in this area and it is a traffic nightmare. there's a lot of concern. i know the balboa cac and city college cac and others have reservations about this. but i think some of the reservations aren't necessarily about this particular plan, but they're more about the long term plan. and i think both supervisor yee and i've heard very strongly that there's desires for certain things that because this is going to be a development agreement,

what are the feelings in the city about the statues? >> i think folks recognize this is a part of our history, a terrible history it may be but it's a part of our history. as i have always said, what i share any tears if the jefferson davis statue were torn down? no, i wouldn't. but i think the past, that being terrible or not shouldn't be a -- our anchor. it should be a foundation from which it was built from. >> why do you think the history is important? >> not repeating history. right now these statues have no context. it's just statues honoring and memorializing these figures and i think the key is to tell the whole story. i think richmond can be the center of all things reconciliation. yes, we do have a terrible past. but it's time to actually start writing that new chapter and we have to begin with that conversation about reconciliation fist. >> and what's the narrative you would like the achieve? your dream goal for not even your time as mayor but your time as a resident in the city of richmond? >> i think my time as mayor and re

nation and our cities. me thank you mayor landrieu and mayor benjamin and mayor barnet for your leadership of our conference. i continue to think three years in of being mayor of washington, d.c. that this conference provided such great inspiration and support where we can come together to share great ideas and learn from one another. let us always remember, that in doing our jobs as mayor, that retooling and getting those ideas and that sharing is also very critical to the work that we do. it is also a good thing that us mayors are here in washington, d.c. during the week where the federal government shut down. it is a reminder that we as mayors can't shut down because our people are relying on us to do the work of running our cities. providing services, answering questions, helping the most vulnerable among us. so while federal washington was shut down, i'm here to tell you washington, d.c. was open for business and i'm very proud of that.

the city. and took over in 1910 as a city counsel man. an alderman like his brother had been. and i think when you follow the trajectory of kansas city and the economy and its growth with the immigrant groups coming in. people looking for work. tom built his kingdom if you will his political kingdom on serving those under served people. in other words he knew that unlike today when politic ts make intangible promises they're going to save the world and make the country prosper for everyone. tom threw the years delivered tangible things for people who needed them. whether it was medicine, whether it was coal. whether it was food. more importantly it was jobs. he learned early on the way to a persons heart is through his dignity. and with the job comes dignity. especially when he got into the depression era where so many people were out of work trying to raise families he knew the best thing he could do for anyone for a lifetime of favors returned is to get that person a job. >> a political machi

cities such as chicago have had welcoming city policies in place for decades, and chicago mayor harold washington enacted the first such iteration of that policy in 1980, or the early 1980's. they have had those policies in place in large part because the evidence suggests that those policies make their communities safer. they do not, as some would have us believe, particularly lately, they do not call for the harboring of criminal aliens. they call for the appropriate enforcement of local laws in a way that does not alienate communities that are absolutely essential to the enforcement of those laws, and the evidence i think is that so-called sanctuary jurisdictions are safer because of it. the case in chicago has implications not just for the grant programs, but for other grant programs. and it has implications for cities across the country as well. it has its genesis really in president trump's executive order last january in which he purported to give the attorney general sweeping authority to withhold any federal funding of any kind to sanctuary jurisdictions of his choosing. beene

and the city budget was over $7 billion. and in his six years in office, the budget is up to $10 billion, which is more than many states. considering to his staff, 140,000 jobs have been created as a result of him being here in the job. and i distinctly recall that he didn't really want to be mayor. he didn't like the political spats and being in the limelight. but yet he took the job because he felt it was the right thing for him and the city to do. so from my perspective, what he provided was an ability for tech companies and real estate developers and agents to really thrive in this town. and that, i will always be appreciative for. that was his first term. his second term, i really remember his contributions in terms of humanitarian. he said on the second term, well, now that we've economically started to come back, let's focus on affordable housing and doing something about the homeless problem we have here in san francisco. and a number of steps have been taken from my view to help make that a much better situation. so

our budget looks like the city budget. we get a work order from all the different city departments with an allocation and do work with and for them under the work order and whatever we don't spend is typically returned to the fund at the end of the fiscal year. there are a couple of departments where the last dollar is general fund dollars, so those are particularly returned to the general fund. in general, we spend something on the order of now 85% of the allocation, sometimes we go over on individual line items and then we have a balancing issue with those departments but we have never overspent our aggregate budget. that's how we develop the work plan. this is a list of our issued reports during the first six months of the fiscal year in reverse chronological order. we have all of our standard reports that we have to issue for the performance side of the house have been issued. those are, expecept for one, th performance report and scorecards and nonprofit monitoring report, the park standards report, the nonprofit moni

this is my city. this is our city. this is a sanctuary city for everyone. in 1994 and please correct me if i'm wrong, i worked on the first children fund campaign, i was a mother of three children under six. i needed childcare to be able to work, i needed after school services to work and provide for my family, so i could stay in college. so i could do a lot of these things that the services that the children fund protects. therefore the next time it was up, i was a mother of four and all of my kids worked on the campaign with me. this last time around i had three of my grand children working on the campaign. we are three generations of family working on the set-aside because we believe in it and benefit from it and we need it. san francisco is a great city. that's why the voters protect children and these services. that's why i'm urging you guys today to sit down and talk with us. there are leaders in our communities that would sit down and try to come up with reform legislation. but unfortunately we were not invited to the table for this discussion. we're

our city overall is a very safe city. but there are things that we can do to be resilient and individual lends and some of these things may sound like common sense. when you are caught in the moment of the day sometimes you lose track of what you are doing and you get distracted. the main thing is to pay attention. pay attention to what you are doing. if you do that your resiliency goes up and your vigilance goes up. the last thing is look out for your neighbors. if you see something, say something. the cell phones that i just mentioned, be safe in doing so. but if you have a situation where you need to call 3-1-1 or 9-1-1, do that. 9-1-1 is an emergency situation. somebody is getting a, thated f you see a crime in progress, that's a 9-1-1 call. if your car gets broken into and there is no danger, that is a 3-1-1 call. we'll get there and take a report. or you can do that report online. i want to end this on a positive note. i started this with this season is all about giving, sharing and taking care of each other. i thin
