that was one of our civilian positions. our vehicles are in really bad shape, and i strongly disagree with mr. rose that a delay would not hurt this department. >> supervisor cohen: so my original question was, when will you be making the purchase? it sounds like the purchase will be made in august. and how many vehicles -- catherine, if you can come up, how many vehicles will you be purchasi purchasing? >> 82. >> supervisor cohen: so you're looking to spend the full amount. >> that's correct. >> supervisor cohen: so maybe you can speak to the 500,000 reserve body cameras? that hasn't been spent, either. >> that would be a cut we with absorb. >> supervisor cohen: that could be a cut you can absorb. supervisor fewer has a question. >> supervisor fewer: i just have a question. how many take-home vehicles do you have that your staff actually takes home and not a patrol vehicle. >> i don't have that number, supervisor fewer, but i want to emphasize, your husband was a police officer. those vehicles are in terrible shape, and al

at least for the one piece of civilianization that could be a partial solution. >> thank you. so, question for the chief. so, the force has been steadily growing in size. since you've come on. correct? >> yes. >> so, these gains which we have achieved have been in the context of actually having more officers. so now we're at a plateau. correct? >> correct. well, we still have a few more to hire to get to our target. >> but in general. i think to me that is the real question is that we -- we -- you know, i've seen the foot patrols. we've seen the piloted neighborhood crime units but that is only possible because we've had more officers. it is not a change necessarily in how -- certainly there is changes in tax and strategies and i've been supportive of what the chief has been doing. but we're not providing the resources to do the whole cloth that we need to do. [please stand by] [please stand by] >> sooner or later that's going to come back and catch up with us because we're not going to be able to support the work that we've made, the gains that we've had without being able to

now if you brought on 50 civilians mid year there would be a savings of $950,000 in lieu of the police officers. of course it depends on when you bring them on. in the second year, they bunlded $13.3 million to staff up for an additional 50 so you would have 100 police officers but say you are still looking at 50 civilians over that time to free up 50 additional for service. the savings would be about $6 million for over the full year. >> $6 million? >> $6 million for 50 civilians compared to staffing up additional police officers. the budget in the second year is $13.3 million for the police officers. we calculate that the cost of the civilian positions would be about $7.1 million. >> ok. this is taking into consideration that this -- once your academies [inaudible]. >> so how we're looking at it, is we present this to you is there's academy in the first year that would start in december. and then continue into the second year. there would be academy in the second year that starts into december and so you would be funding a part year. if you didn't have that and just hired 50 civilian

regularly sends its staff into the crisis so they check reports on civilian casualties on the internet and find out the background since the start of the fighting nearly ten thousand people have died including over two thousand civilians . but the bullshit means not all of us being on the international community should understand that we're dealing with war crimes in this conflict and intervening at an international level to stop it shows. ability to. pro russian separatists occupied the city of slovyansk for three months until ukrainian forces took it back in two months of heavy fighting. today the front line runs fifty kilometers east of slavyansk. in the west the divide which we hope the information we collect and publish will lead to some. reactions. to the doctor. first debate september the first twenty sixteen we are in the office of the head doctor of the children's hospital in slovyansk he's showing us the fragments he found in his office after the shelling. i listened to was a heavy weapon. yes definitely the craters were more than one meter in diameter. over how did you hear

western far province thirty one people were injured at least eleven people have been killed when a van exploded at a checkpoint in the southern philippines both soldiers and civilians are among the casualties in lumberton city on bass in an island that's just across the aisle from mindanao island where there's been decades of conflict between government forces and muslim separatists troops who are trying to search the vehicle when it detonated life now to general allen dog and she's live for us from the philippine capital manila so officials saying the valve may have been intended for a bigger operation what do we know about that jamila. well that's exactly what they're saying because intelligence reports over the last few days indicate of a big threat in limited city in brazil and this happened at about five am from the hinterlands a van with a single passenger stopped at a checkpoint connected to the military detachment upon injuring inspection according to the military that's when the bomb exploded inside so there are reports that this is possibly a suicide bomber nothing confirms that at all as you know in the philippines have never had really a history of suic

on the plight of refugees. well the un's humanitarian relief coordinator in jordan has put out a statement in the last few minutes he says about two hundred seventy thousand civilians in southern syria have been displaced since the bombardment of dara in the province began on the eighteenth of june i'm not says the u.n. is the largest displacement of syrians in southern syria since the conflict began so you can see how quickly and dramatically this has escalated there were yesterday just in the book border location behind me about twenty or twenty five thousand syrian refugees there another hundred or so thousand along various positions along the border but in total lot number now about two hundred seventy thousand according to the u.n. some locally provided relief has got in from here in the last hour or so trucks behind me but we're only taking in there only out on them really warts and blankets and pillows just a very very basic necessities there was also some dry drainage and sanitation stuff was passed over the fence as well but extraordinarily difficult circumstances over there no summit station no running water no food the jordanian military is providing sor

deadly agent scribed it as something with a sole purpose of causing the mass slaughter of shi civilians. one doesn't accidentally get their hands on this very deadly agent. those in my business see one direction where this comes from and that was by russians to originally try to take the life of the former agent and a family member as well. so it was a new attack, or was it a residual left over from the original implementation or deployment of this. i tend to believe it was less likely to be something new. it was probably left behind. but as you mentioned, it would be very tough for the russians to deny this because of the single source scope of it. >> even if it is just left over, that means there are two additional attacks that they have been accused of ordering and it makes for a very dicey situation. >> yes, if your goal as a security service is to attempt to kill someone as the russians appear to have tried to do, there was a number of methods they could have tried to do. they wanted to send a message for those that are former spies or those that went sideways with respect to russian se

reason there is beyond disturbing presence of armed forces everywhere in amazonia and they see civilians as on the other side we got a comment from someone who also lives in that region that some call amazonia this is any who says this is a huge a lie i'm here and demand and civilians are scared of losing their properties and being killed or called names by secessionists if they say or do anything against them jang do you want to weigh in here we're seeing very different points of view from people who live in the very same area how do you see it. all rooted. in the recruitment of something the. country. and there is only a is a terrorist group so normal that people living environment. like they have been invaded by. some forces coming from outside. that's all that's everything we can say because the only cameroonian living communion living abroad are calling it. i would think that if he makes that statement he will look as if he just came in from oz. the reason why the english people. cam'ron is because of how we came to be and this is exactly because the trust issue was not to minetta properl

the attackers, and a banker who died while confronting them, are among 20 people included on this year's civilianlantry list — which rewards "outstanding bravery". caroline davies has more. a summer's evening turned to one of terror. lastjune three attackers armed with knives drove a van into pedestrians on london bridge before launching an attack. eight people were killed, but the number could have been higher if it hadn't been for the bravery of those who stayed to help. one of the first on the scene was pc wayne marks, a police officer with the british transport police. he was severely injured trying to fend off the attackers with only his baton. bravery was the furthest thing from my mind. what was going through my mind was that people were hurt and dying. the only thing that was going through my head and basicallyjust hold on until the cavalry arrived. and back—up did come. pc leon mcleod, and off duty police officer, charles guenigault. autopilot kicks in, and you just do what you think you need to do and that's what it was. i wasn't really thinking too much ahead or even what i was doing,
