richard cooper, research director — ampere analysisjoins me now.is constant competition between cinema and streaming. is there competition or are they different experiences?m is true to say they are targeting the same kind of audiences but as you said, they are giving very different experiences. streaming is very much an in—home evening in of entertainment we were able to binge watch as much tv style content as you'd like. increasingly particularly here in the uk, we are seeing that cinema has become again and event viewing experience, something where you can take the family along or a more grown—up experience we can see some of the refurbished classic classics. refurbished classic cinemas, while you watch a film. the question is, what is going to happen going forward. netflix is even moving into the cinema world, snapping up a cinema in new york, it's looking to purchase other cinemas. where will this end for the traditional players like view, who found it hard to compete. yes, but at the moment we are looking at the forays of licks into the cinem

live now to melbourne and to dr richard thornton, ceo of the bushfire and natural hazards cooperative research you very much for your time. how does this fire season compare to others you have experienced? certainly this is one of the worst fire season we have seen for a very long time across australia, certainly seeing that thoughts of temperatures we are seeing, the thoughts of dryness in the landscape that we have got now, and as a consequence of that we are seeing fires and just about every state and territory across australia. you have a sense of why this is happening, why this is so much worth? this particular year is clearly driven by a long—term drought, probably one of the most severe droughts we have seen possibly since the white people came to australia, so this is a very significant drying of the forests, if you like, so even those that have traditionally been relatively wet are traditionally been relatively wet a re really dry traditionally been relatively wet are really dry this year and that is what is driving a lot of the fire behaviour that we are seeing and why we are seeing

research for peace divided on china. on chinese nuclear arsenals in cooperation with the us and russia arsenal and of course we're talking about big figures. a big difference in figures. of course, if chinese china is prepared to do that we're prepared to review multilateral process in good faith disarmament but if president putin had tried to secretary pompeo later this year, this situation naturally acquires negotiation because there is no civic offer on the table byour american partners . and it will take some time. and in the meantime, it does not create a vacuum for us and russia are still major nuclear powers and they could talk about theextension of the new start treaty and calm down the international apparel that would be good . >> i'll take your second question and i will return to the important conversation on our strategic ally , arms control we will publish all the documents we take appropriate area that we think we shared via fax on what happened in the 2016 election with our russian counterparts. we don't think there's any mistake about what really transpired there . as for strategic arms control, your ques

oman the iranians are looking to increase military cooperation following increased tension with the united states and its allies well grab on web as research fellow at the rajaratnam school of international studies and singapore the he says the drills aren't as significant as they may appear in this case i think we shouldn't set our expectations too high this is really more a case of window dressing where 3 needs are coming together to put an issue or for 40 it's. mind you are in the previous iteration of how disk size or support they are was forced for span of 10 minutes beginning on it's only 4 days of on tuesday and so it will get down to 4 days clearly into operability issues between different military systems the iranians are buying more chinese and russian platforms but you know our sources will tell you that there are inherent limitations and integrating the right now is just an earpiece in your exercise for $48.00 it's a case of military signaling to that from an institution nothing more but i think we should see what's going to happen in 2020 whether there really are more cost exercises and more integration and what we should be.

. >> cooper: dennis culhane, a professor at the university of pennsylvania, has been researching homelessnessoesn't believe drug addiction and mental illness explain why there's been a recent rise in the number of unsheltered people. why is this happening? >> culhane: the best evidence we have is that that's-- it's the real estate market. you have a lot of wealthier individuals, especially in places like seattle, who are driving up the price of housing and there's just not enough housing to filter down to the lower income people. >> cooper: what about substance abuse, alcoholism, drug abuse? >> culhane: substance abuse is particularly important for the people who are homeless for a longer period of time. it's much harder to get out if you have an addiction issue. >> cooper: professor culhane says most people who become homeless in america are able to get out of it within a few months. but the more than 20% who remain homeless for a year or more are often the most visible, and the vast majority of them do suffer from mental illness, or drug or alcohol addiction. >> mayor jenny durkan: there is

cooperate. failing to get along. you know, i remember talking to a researcher once who said if suddenly we as a humanity face such bigial threat, we could erase our differences and come together. 2019 showed us the stuff i mean, you ali have been trying to articulate for years weather you experience day to day is not climate. but now, we're really starting to see it. see it happen in front of us. we need to get it together. of course, out of all that, we did get a few unlikely heroes. we got greta thunberg, who inspired us all. this unlikely teenager who all modern -- astewed even -- she refused to even get on an a airplane. took boats to her appearances around the world. and really forced us to look at our kids and say man what have we done? we need to change this for the future. so some hope in how we talk about this stuff. but the raw science, as you know, ali, is really been pretty, pretty dismal. so that's definitely the big takeaway for me. >> there is a great deal of work for us in 2020 to continue these discussions and we are so grateful to you and your team for helping us lead these discussions. jake ward, n

cooper: jo anne van tilburg is a u.c.l.a. professor of archaeology. she has been coming here for nearly 40 years, working with local researchers and artists, excavating erstand the mysteries, and what she calls the magic, of the moai. >> van tilburg: they're tight- lipped, these statues. >> cooper: they don't give up their secrets easily. >> van tilburg: they-- they don't give up their secrets easily. and they don't give them up to outsiders easily. >> cooper: to learn the moai's secrets, you have to start where nearly all of them were made. around the vent of a dormant o,nt quarry of raar there are some 400 moai here, more than in any other spot on the island. the largest one, never raised upright, is almost 70 feet long and weighs at least 250 tons, as heavy as some passenger jets. based on excavations, jo anne van tilburg and other archaeologists have done, and analysis of soil samples and objects found around the statues, van tilburg believes the height of moai construction was around 1300 to the mid- 1400s, though moai did continue to be carved until or just after the first contact with europeans in 1722. i mean, is it not possible with carbon da

there is no way -- i know when research was done at the dph on out-of-county transfers for long-term care, the cooperation was voluntary and not all of the hospitals would cooperate. this would support the mission of really identifying the gap and filling it. i think hillary ronen is willing to carry the legislation. she is pre-occupied with mental health sf, which is a lot of work. i see the february 6, 2020 discussion of supporting the legislation. the legislation on collecting data for out-of-county discharge should be included in this list of legislation. i talked to the health commission about this. i e-mailed clara lindsey to send copies to you all. i have copies. we need to go forward on this. thank you. >> any other public comment on this item? with that public comment is closed. commissioner koppel. >> question for staff. i heard you mention that we are at zone capacity. >> i don't know that we have a zone capacity. >> is that enough to get us where we want to be? >> if we think we need 4.3 do 4.7 we have zone capacity to make that. we don't need additional zone capacity to get there. do we need

christopher steele, who cooperated with the inspector general's investigation, quote, stated that, if anything, he was favorably disposed toward the trump family before he began his research member at trump tower and been friendly with the family member for some years. he described their relationship as personal. and said that he once gifted a family tartan from scotland to the family member and that family member is ivanka trump. joining our discussion is james b. stewart, "new york times" columnist and cnbc contributor, the author of "deep state: trump and the fbi rule of law." you covered this in your book. here is the report. >> i'm very -- glad that the inspector essentially confirmed everything that i found. we all interviewed the same people. and i think what's really important here is that an independent justice department watchdog who reports to barr and who can be fired by the president has now debunked every sensational claim that president trump has made about a deep state out to get him. the russia investigation was legitimate. there was adequate predicate, there was no spying on the trump campaign. none of these preposterous assertions have been borne out. >
