because they are invested in this city. this is not a story about commerce fleeing the city. this is a story about confidence in what lies ahead. will it be different than it was? of course. this water front today is different than it once was, too. in fact, it is better. look behind me at what is being built right here. mission rock. one of those buildings will be affordable housing. another is dedicated to life sciences. the third is a future headquarters of visa on what used to be a parking lot. that is the nature of city.

harris says so one older european cities and like most cities in the seventy's, it's a city that has been over one voice course. and the case of the shows it is a is an interesting example of this problem is very symbolic area in paris, very famous. but he had something incredible that the parisian hate this area. why is because it's an area that used to be for the past century, a place where you would go for a walk with his children was a nice moment. it was the most elegant avenue in parish that local people lot and we figure out that since 40 years, no one wants to go there except tourist. the car, of course, is one of the key problem to give this face back to people and pedestrian. because all of this has been treated as a highway entering patrick was 2 times for lanes, going up and down, and you have a pavement, verizon salad. that is very noisy. so he go there, shall that is it to these like bomb. it's one of the most noisy place in paris reducing the part of the car, getting this place accessible to people, is one 1st action. of course we can defeat bankcard units of big debat

san francisco is a beautiful city. often people will remark that homes in san francisco are built right next to each other. what people don't see from street view are the extensive backyards, gardens, and patios. as here, there are beautiful gardens and so much to enjoy beyond what you see from the streets. this project will serve to highlight and restore the yerba buena gardens and invite the public to all the site has to offer. the children's human, i see them coming out here parts of the celebration, thank you for being here and this playground and more. the bay hills are beautified with plants and through an artist imagination to follow and to invite residents, visitors, and transit riders emerging from the new transit station into this space to enjoy the yerba buena gardens. we look forward to watching this project transform the site into a cleaner, more attractive and inviting place that we can all be very proud of. with that said, please help me welcome ms. carmen chiu our city administrator.

what could be more interesting than traveling around the old cities, however, the largest ukrainian citiesich practically became megacities, were founded and built by the same rulers at about the same time, and most importantly, this was done by a single people; there were no russian slave owners who mocked and kept on the chains of the black body of the unfortunate ukrainians, there were no mighty and strong ukrainian atlantes that built their own cities with their own hands and in secret from the russians. we say banal things, but we must repeat them. after all, some seriously deny this, so, let's take it in order, odessa recently zelensky spoke to the greek parliament and said that odessa is a ukrainian city greg is native to. where in this whole story there are russians remains a mystery. empire. what, especially in this is not? peter the great moved the capital to the shores of the baltic . so odessa could become the capital, at least if our queen set the task of taking constantinople, a city on the black sea coast to accelerate these events called, odessa would become an ideal locati

were blocked, as well from, from that city, from the city of mario bowl. and as you perfectly know, they did not allow anyone. i'm not talking about military anyone, how many one from a civilian population to receive food, water, ad, madison, i'm not talking about steady human support and assistance. i'm not talking about the not allowing members of i c r c to go to the ma rubel nor says doctors. we both found the representatives of you praying and churches to my room and they were not allowed to enter. so everything was blocked. we found convoys who were absolutely empty without in the civilian. so they, they shelled all those convoys. they've allowed to have civilians leave the city civilians using any transport. they had our military, they're not ready and willing to leave away or leave behind. those are wounded. come rates, they have our or the civilians. we are all roll leaving persons. we are all understand that if your fellow soldier has died, i mean you can not simply abandon his body like a bag of potatoes somewhere by the road. let him root. they

, or every city full stop usa. there's no city that couldn't do with a few 1000000 more trees. people just have to push for it. well then it will happen and that this bus you the clock is ticking me catastrophic climate change out in a cities can only remain livable with is a massive shift to put new green ways of building with with the war has forced more than 4000000 ukrainians to their country, like a 36 year old business owner who left to the company and employees behind people who continue to rely on him for a salary. will his enterprise be able to survive the war? a d w business special quickly. next on d, w. and to the conflicts own with tim sebastian pressure allegation with cranium pavilions outside of rock with russia really care what the world with i guess with very few other conflict in 60 minutes on d. w. with a more and eternity time. it can be measured precisely. and yet every one experiences it differently as if there are different forms of time. time, a phenomenon, a dimension, if we know we won't

it's that kind of city. but if we look past the tourism appeal and focus on daily life of the locals, the cracks and challenges of life in barcelona become all too visible: high unemployment, unaffordable housing and infrastructural failures are impacting liveability. traffic congestion is wreaking havoc on the health of the citizens. thankfully, the spirit of urban planning is still very much alive here. barcelona was the birthplace of one of the greatest urbanism projects in history. in the 19th century, this industrial city was already plagued by pollution and overpopulation. so visionary engineer ildefons cerdá designed a system where city blocks would provide better housing services, maximize green space, improve air circulation and reduce traffic - which was horse-drawn carriages at the time. his project created the foundations of a unique urban structure and revolutionized the way that we look at cities today. the challenges have changed, at least partially, and, well, new solutions are needed. i'm ea

it is a unique part of the city. >> we are off in a corner of the city against the san francisco county line 101 on one side. vis station valley is still one of the last blue color neighborhoods in san francisco. a lot of working class families out here. it is unusual. not a lot of apartment buildings. a lot of single family homes. >> great business corridor. so much traffic coming through here and stopping off to grab coffee or sandwich or pick up food before going home. >> a lot of customers are from the neighborhood. they are painters or mechanics. they are like blue color workers, a lot of them. >> the community is lovely. multi-racial and hopefully we can look out for each other. >> there is a variety of businesses on the block. you think of buffalo kitchen chinese food pork buns, sandwich. library, bank of america with a parking lot. the market where you can grab anything. amazing food choices nail salons. basically everything you need is here. >> a lot of these businesses up and down leland are family owned. people running them are family. when you come here and you have an uncle

well , yes, the city-heroes decided to destroy it.ain thing is that they managed to save their own ukrainian ass. thank you. once again hold on great. victory will be ours. we'll go only from this. well, and the footage that we just received from donetsk another episode of an absolutely bestial attitude towards people, peaceful city, peaceful microdistrict in general, a bazaar market. see what they've done. the armed forces of ukraine again struck at the kirovsky district of the city of donetsk, this is a microdistrict, tekstilshchik is densely populated here with only nine-story houses and markets. and now the blow itself fell on two markets that are close to each other. you see, the aftermath five people were injured two died 11:58. this is the sokol market, there are always a lot of people here. here are two flights. in that market, ukrainian women applied strike from jet salvo systems. fire bm-21 grad is a 122 mm jet rocket. they were stuffed with striking elements. it is not clear why everything was finished off, most likely, ano

it is the lifeblood of the city, it is necessary to keep this city running. and people have to feel safe on it. so, this press conference is going to start any minute now. and hopefully we're gonna get a little bit more information about injuries, about the status of the people who were injured. there were varying reports, anywhere from 5 to 10 people, perhaps more. more than a dozen at least ensure that we have heard so far. and then we're gonna get all of the information about how the nypd, and how all of the agencies are all trying to find the person or people at large. and i think that we're gonna get an update on new injury numbers. the cool is speaking in my ear, 16 injured, eight shot. this is for the fire department here in the city, of the fdny. so six people, a shot. earlier were confirmed, five people shot, and 13 injured. so, these numbers are going up. we do expect them to potentially keep going up as we get more information, especially as the scene after the shooting was a little bit chaotic. people may have injured themselves in the effort to g

there is no major ukrainian city that's been taken by the ross. let me tell you something, but at least we'll go to the navy. i can tell you again, conversing with the experts over the last 2 days, is that it is a major blow to the russian operations general. first and foremost of all, i must lock the cruiser which used to go to law in the solid days, which was glory ah, is was the only ship that could provide a serious air defense to the rest of the baltic sea fleet. that is important also because there are truck transports, that potentially transport troops from the rational to bite crime min minutes. oh, to the front, to do essentially to, to the coast you brandon coast. now these ships, if you ever want to send them anywhere, will not be well protected. we'll be essentially, i would say sitting ducks, but much easier targets will the ukrainians. and secondly, if, and that is, i quote one of the experts with whom i spoke. if the russians ever thought about amphibious assault on the part of a decimated, very important city for your great, all ri

the city?, i am optimistic. get out! i would say i am a pessimist with information. oh! that's a good one. yes. a pessimist with information. yes. yeah, we are optimistic, you know, because that's why we're still fighting. yes, i do think things could get better. i do believe in our power d our historical power to fight for better conditions. so yes, we're going to push it a little more. - as i've seen in many other cities in the world, social inequality is on the rise here in buenos aires: the wealthiest 10% earn almost 17 times more per year than the bottom 10%. now, to give you some context, in canada it's only 8.6 times higher. but there are things that can be done on a smaller scale to help bridge the gap for low-income citizens - simple things like sharing and saving basic resources. - what began as a group of friends trying to do some good has evolved into plato lleno, an organization managing some 200 volunteers who carry out over 70 "food rescues" each year! how cool is that? and it's

who made it to the city and sat parisha struggled to describe the devastation of their home city. them thursday, friday or some hell is what's happening there. it's not possible them could just re tell it. would you? russians are killing people for nothing. leave the world doesn't take measures. supervisor will be the same to what he or did they put it on my her we left yesterday there was a whole left instead of a 9 floor building or maybe he, for all the doorways are destroyed completely. all the windows are shattered. when maria martin, in our backyard, we have a little cemetery. we buried 7 people there. for those stuck in the city supplies are reportedly running low. it's no telling how long they can still hold out. blocked respond, mathias rolliger has been following the situation in mario po, from key. she told us about the situation of the troops and the civilians who were inside that steel plant. yeah, the options are probably running out. of course, nobody knows. oh, how big the supplies are, the food supplies that they have? and this, this, these bunkers underneath the steel

you know, i'm from the city just like you from the city. i'm born and raised in this neighborhood, so when they asked us to come, we walked here. and when we're done, we going to walk back because guess what? we belong here. this is our neighborhood, this is our community. our motto is it takes the hood to save the hood. what does that mean? that means all of us collectively, the mayor, the homeless people, the drug dealers, everyone in this community makes collectively this neighborhood happen. now, one important thing that i want to say is the mayor -- the late mayor, ed lee, who was a big -- who made a big impact in this process of happening, may he rest in peace. he was there and fought, and if there's one thing we like, you know that, london, we like to fight. one thing that i understand and i know about community building with one another, that we can only be stronger when we work together, so when you see all of us as part of coming together, these are the things that happen. this right here was a parking lot that was dilapidated. it

for all the efforts that we all do for our beautiful city that we love. you set an example for everyone and we are truly grateful for that. you know, my father talking about family anecdotes, when i was younger, he said you have to be stronger than everybody else around you because if you have a husband who leaves you with five kids, you need to be able to take care of yourself. luckily, that did not happen and i ended up with a very supportive husband who is always supportive of all of my efforts on a daily basis and as you mentioned, mayor breed, i love our city. i love every inch of our city and i believe that every single one of us is here because we truly believe in our efforts to enhance and preserve our -- what we want to do for the youth and for investing in early education and celebrating the strong legacy in arts and culture. so we're all here i think with a common theme of our love for san francisco and i really appreciate this recognition. and someone said if actually we had an all-women group chat late at night inspired by ruth bader ginsburg

another a live look from city hall. some community groups have blasted the district saying they will take away power from traditionally underserved communities. arguing the proposed maps would diminish the voting power for immigrants, low income families, renters, lgbtq plus and people of color. the task force is taking into account population changes from the latest census results. the latest proposed map from the task force is on your screen now. worth noting, it is not the final one there will be revisions before it is finalized. big backlash coming from city leaders who say it is essentially giving weekend democracy. >> they are doing the idea of doing this at the last minute is undemocratic and it was in a horrible message not just to san franciscans but to the rest of the nation. that san francisco is behaving very much like those that were involved in undermining democracy last year on january 6th. >> the elections commission plans to meet today to consider removing three members. you can bet we will keep followi

wow, there was another attack on our city yesterday evening.f the cheshire district has another missile training, everything is also symbolic at this moment. the secretary general of the organization of poor nations is in the city of kyiv 1187 civilians of the kyiv region died at the hands of the russian military, this is the latest information from the head of the regional police, andriy, allegedly , according to him, first of all, the dead were shot with small arms, hundreds of ukrainians in the kyiv region are still considered missing and in search of their relatives, for example in bucha, people first of all go to the morgue, because the exhumation and identification of bodies, in particular, from mass graves, continues even now. material from taras shevchenko . i found out about this tragedy as early as march 17, and from the 3rd to the 17th there was a lot of dogs running around and biting me, i don't know how it is crying. it happens calmly , he was traveling from buchi with a woman's wife, and that's when she started rattling with tanks

but this is a story city. one which had a jewish tra, majority up until $941.00 and still deeply identified with judaism. you know, that's only about 4 percent of the people solve identifies used many people. ringback so i have jewish relatives, jewish heritage, jewish, jewish root, things of this nature. so there's definitely an old surprise, but not among the military. this is an extremely well defended city. on the people go ahead, i'm sorry. no, no. i just wanted to know you were saying this was a crown jewel, so you're telling me sort of how this fits into the, to the, to the big picture of rushes invasion of ukraine. it, this is really important. it's really important. in fact, in 2014, when russia began and start reducing ukraine, idea was this greener, russia, it's called nowhere to see new russia, historical russia, which would include done yet, the don boss, the crimea, and then the southern parts of ukraine, basically land locking in the country are often people to talk about the possibility of taki

he's suffered a significant defeat in the northern cities, particularly the capitol city.ected themselves and focusing on one area and they're bringing their forces to bear on that area. i believe we're on a cusp of likely the largest battle that's been fought in this war to date and likely quite bloody. no one knows what the outcome will be. this is a couple of things that will help our audience to understand it. the russians are consolidating their forces outside of the city of kharkiv and bringing them down north the south axis from the city of azume. their attempt is to come in behind the ukrainian forces who are fighting the russian forces in the donbas region and attempt to encircle them. the ukrainians are aware of what's taking place here and they're moving forces to intercept them and to block them. it's note worthy to date in the donbas region, the ukrainian forces have been doing well. they repelled about all the assaults that have taken place in that area. now on the map there, that's where luhansk and donetsk is. we know about the siege that has taken place in

city of bucha were not blocked.esidents had the opportunity to freely leave the settlement . we would like to emphasize that all russian units completely left buchi on march 30 , march 31. the mayor of the city of bucha anatoly sidoruk confirmed in his video message that in the city. there is no one from the russian military, but he did not even mention any local residents shot in the streets with their hands tied, the mayor of buchi, indeed, in his speech he was very cheerful and for some reason did not take the opportunity to tell the world about the mountain of corpses of civilians, dear, friends, today march 31 will go down in history as the day of liberation from the russian orcs from the russian occupiers by our military forces. today, i state the fact that this joyful day was not seen, the city of corpses in a bunch and in the national police of ukraine in the eight-minute video that was published on saturday, not a word was said about this, so that the footage of another ukrainian fake. they looked at least
