pleased this body is focussing on this, but the coordination is not just affordable housing issue. it's across other city projects, but it's critical to work on. we, like other projects, we get appealed and that can create delays. and every project has a story. what do we want to look towards? >> streamlining for affordable housing. how do we move this faster? the executive director that you mentioned, we want -- it's primarily for focus on large projects, at least in the current iteration, but how does that help us move forward? we're active in coordinating for 100% affordable housing developments, looking at ways to contain costs. we have a working group working on this. we'll be convening with other partners to bring down costs. and finally, we're always advocating at the state and federal level for more resources. welcome opportunity to talk about other ways which we can move projects forward more quickly. finally, with this, i'll close. i want to recognize our partners. we don't develop any housing directly ourselves, we work with the nonprofit developers. those listed here ar

is that a coordinated process over? or how do you perceive that? and also if you're with the exemptions and exclusions consider the place where a lot of interests are fighting over particular aluminum products. could be the interest in those were fighting those issues. >> you mentioned that ideally that this results in coordinated action by all major markets to eliminate that excess capacity. we seem the e.u. being temporarily is an exclusion. then they announced the steel safeguard but comedians as part of theirs have developed a canadian steel border team were industry and officials making sure they don't become a conduit of overcapacity flowing into the u.s. for return for them getting an exclusion. that's not an element of what they're trying to build and. they also need to take some action to create more coordinated global approach to squeeze out opportunities. is this just started it's been something like thousand request while in only a handful have been released. they're very specific in terms of widths and lengths and chemical content. par

some of it is coordinated and some of it is a failure of coordination. that's why you have this irrational situation where every single province or region is creating their own steel industry even though there far far above any capacity they could ever justify. there's a lot of complicated history and a lot that the government in china could do, they come out with announcements every year what they're gonna do and we just haven't seen execution on the ground because these are jobs. when you are in the chinese communist party you don't really want to create a big wave of unemployment. what they do is export that excess capacity to other countries where we work on more of a market basis and that's the challenge that were facing. trying to consciously set out to build the largest steel industry in the world, the year before it entered their producing about a hundred million tons of steel year so is the united states. now they are able to produce about 16 times that. once .6 billion tons of steel. china is now the largest exporter of steel in the world and y

some of it is coordinated, some of it is a failure of coordination. that's why you have this irrational situation where every single province or region is creating its own steel industry even though they're far, far yove any capacity they would possibly justify. so there's a lot of complicated history to it. there's a lot the central government in china could do. they come out with announcements every year of what they're going to do, we haven't seen the execution on the ground. these are jobs. when you're in the chinese communist party, you don't want to create a wave of unemployment. what they do is export that excess capacity and that unemployment to other countries. where we work on more of a market basis. that's the challenge that we're fatesing. -- we're facing. >> just to add a few points, china consciously set out to build the largest steel industry in the world. in now, before they entered the w.t.o., they were producing about 100 million tons of steel a year, so was the united states. they now have the capacity to produce about 16 times that

oxford, as well as with so com as the coordinating committee. how we're prioritizing, how we're focusing and how we're thin think sizing and instructing who get to the threats in the most effective manner possible. >> i can certainly echo what he said. combatting wm d.d policy development and i'm happy to report to you today that i think that our cooperation and coordination is outstanding. my office serves as the principal point of contact in the office of under secretary of act witquisitions and we develo again in coordination with the offices and we provide advice and make reck plen dayses among other things our cbm weapons, safety and security, chemical and biological agents, safety, security and safe destruction of current chemical weapons stockpile and nuclear chemical and biological arms control activities. and so i think that relate ship will grow stronger over time as we continue to look to other agencies within dod that also have a role to play in this area. thank you. >> i'll have additional questions. thank you all for your testimony

the targets were picked with lots of attention in close coordination with our allies, so as to minimize the collateral delivering a firm and determined answer to the doings of the syrian regime. if those operations are token of our determination, they were also implemented with constant concern to avoid any kind of escalation. that through ordering these strikes, no incidents between our forces and the other forces present in the , and from now on his time for diplomatic action and humanitarian action. i would like to thank our american allies and british noticeably james mattis and gavin williamson, with whom i have talked day and night since sunday. before leaving the floor to the general, i wish to homage to theo men and women of the french armed forces who prepared and veryted this with important professionalism, and a lot of courage. madaml: thank you, minister. i would like to talk about three one, especially the targets set by the president of the republic and the windows targets were reached, and the international dimension which was absolutely essential to this operation, addin

in the policy, similar to other policies where a coordinator or a point person is identified. the dpa also suggests including language outlining the description and duties and responsibilities of that coordinator. i'll sum up instead of reading your notes, that the department has requested that that coordinator will -- that person, that point person will exist, they would rather not necessarily have it in the policy that is an administrative and a managieril issue, that's your argument for .6. >> okay. >> president turman: commissioner dejesus? >> commissioner dejesus: yeah. this is an item i'm very much against primarily because i do believe it's an operational matter. the chief reports to us, and we should request from the chief the information that this commission wants in all of these areas, but to say that he has to appoint a coordinator for this particular function is to begin to meddle in the operations of the department. >> president turman: okay. chief, just to clarify, you have said that -- you've said that this is a role you plan on creating, is that correct? >> yes

, there's probably a higher degree of coordination taking place than has ever taken place since the end of the korean war. there will be plenty of time to talk about the goals of that interkorean summit and how they

and another reason, the need to coordinate between the departments. doing work you guys are trying to coordinate and often times they are the scheduled driver. like their permit process is more time intensive as your process is. but we have directed you to try to coordinate among agencies, which is a good thing. but if in doing that coordination you guys are not the project driver, your projects may get delayed. i won't say necessarily delayed, but you won't be spending your money as quickly as you otherwise thought. and i think that's something that we should just be aware of, if nothing else. if it happens, it happens. down side we have to countenance. the final thing i wanted to mention was we heard in our last liaison meeting that sometimes you are having trouble getting bidders in the current climate to present bids on some of the packages you have on the street. among the problems is the l.b.e. goal, local business enterprise and now speaking as a member of the l.b.a. community and always open and close i am a member of that community. with the

>> it's going take that and the coordinated entry system that jeff talked about. when you think about stabilizing an individual in a program, that is the time where you really need to think about the next steps for them. because they're stable, they've been in a program for 30, 60, 90 days. during that period of time and before, they might have been applying for housing and one of the things i've been trying to do is recognize those individuals that are more prepared than others to go into housing. even when they go into housing, they're chronic diseases, we still need services on site to continue to provide them with the recovery process. if we provide supportive services for individuals with addiction and match that with housing availability or even to a shelter or one of the other services, then eventually to housing, i do think that does help. but we have just completed a pilot in which we are providing a medication to reduce the cravings of heroin and other opiates with people in camps. what is happening for us, what we're seeing is that people are engaging w

with the challenges between financing as well as what we talked about earlier with coordinating with the different city agencies, it's been a challenge, and we think that our 1990 fulsome project, one of the projects we're developing is developed in less than three years. that is super exciting for us. we wanted to share that we've been able to do this with building our affordable housing capacity from scratch. we have a team of 12 from 0 less than four years ago and we do this without doing this alone. we believe that without community input and without the community process review, we wouldn't be able to do so it. so we believe, whether or not we get ceqa review, we do that as a way of doing business at meda. we've heard from the counterparts that we should move [bell ringing] -- and we do need to continue to expand the pipeline beyond the units. >> the process we already have in place and having gone through this several times, do you see any ways that locally we could speed up the process? do you feel like you're getting prioritization for these projects in each of the department

we have challenges coordinating. a lot of the time that is because when i see somebody, i am challenged to figure out what in the world is a plan that's going to help this person? but a fair amount of the time somebody who knows that person has a plan, it's just not a plan that's available to me, and we've got to do better with that. and then finally, i consider myself experienced. i consider myself good at what i do. there's not a day that goes by that i am not humbled by the work that is in front of me. we need to develop systems. we have a lot of gaps in our systems. we have a lot of barriers. but we have a tremendous amount of determination and a tremendous amount of talent in the department of public health to actually do the impossible in some cases, and i see that every day in my work, too. finally, i think i said that, provider excellence and inknn innovation. this allows us at the end of the day to have made systems changes that are going to make my job easier and make our outcomes better with our high users

>> i don't think notification is the same thing as coordination, hugh.t sounds like we went through the normal procedures just explaining we would be operating in certain airspace so they wouldn't be surprised when aircraft or other things in the air showed up. >> general, you know the complexities of these things. what order of complexity is getting these three to coordinate and execute on these attacks in this time space? >> actually, hugh, i don't think it's all that difficult given we have been operating with these allies in similar types of operations the last couple of years. the procedures to put aircraft in place to do the deconfliction, to do the timing for weapons on on targets, is pretty standard procedure. and i suspect that once those decisions were made, the specific technical plants were put together quickly. >> general, this is a question about marines running the military right now. the secretary is of defense is a marine germ, chief of staff, marine general. does that change the way that we lean into these do you think we plan these in

with reference to coordinating with mental health. we are doing that. our officers 60% of calls for service are people with mental health crisis. that takes them off the street. when they deal with that person they are off the street for a while then they let them out. one officer said somebody was 5150 three times in a day. you need to put pressure on the supervisors and the mental health profession about letting them out. i have seen them on chestnut street, yes, they are dangerous. with reference to staffing it is 1971 full active duty police officers without including 200 to 300 at the airport and 200 to 300 on maternity live, administrative leave, military leave and unable to work for a certain disabilities. those are not active duty but they exist. they can't be on the street. staffing supervisor yee is looking at that. that is a study done and cities similar to san francisco should be apartment 3300 officers not 9971. one of the ropes we are okay with that we are such a small city it is easy to get to point a to b. that is impossible because of t

what we're trying to do is move to a system that looks like this, through something called coordinated entry, which we have the ability to assess everybody who is experiencing homelessness, help prioritize people into the right intervention so that individuals have no other option other than getting permanent supportive housing are the ones that get it. and those who will do well in shorter term interventions will get those. the goal of this, and i think to the question before about setting goals and benchmarks, previously the city has had many goals for individual programs. we're trying to set large goals that i think we need to be judged against these goals which we have laid out, which is reducing chronic homelessness 50%, youth homelessness 50% and ending family homelessness and street encampments and the controller's office has other things they want to measure, but at this time this is how we measure our success. i want to talk about some of the challenges and our responses to those. this slide here, i'm going to sum up in one sentence, because i have a lot of slides. and we need

carrier and land based french jets would likely play a central role in any strike against syria coordinated by nato allies the us britain and france. for the french president emmanuel mccaw he could just be a question of when macro insists he has proof the asset regime used chemical weapons against its own citizens a little and of duma and he says france wants to remove syria's chemical weapons capabilities. france will not allow an escalation or anything that could damage the stability of the region but we cannot let regimes do anything they want especially not crimes against international law. on the streets of paris opinion is divided on whether france should take part in any strike on syria. what the syrian dictator is inflicting on his people is frightening as far as france is concerned an intervention is legitimate and he wants. the russians should say clearly to assad now you must stop and you should get out then we would avoid a conflict but if we strike the russians will be obliged to respond. there will never be strikes. because france and europe are scared of russia. the russians

it was our own initiative and not coordinated with anyone else. it was launched against a air field that was in a rural area and limited part of the air field and the russians were given four hours notice. >> and this year it was a strike against multiple target and research and storage and equipment production centers and coordinated response with britain and france and other nations that provided intelligence and the opposite of last year. this year, the strike involved not only missiles which last year's strike used against the target but aircraft and as we now know also the ships that are offshore. this year, the president has made it very clear that this strike is part of a basically coordinated and potentially sustained action that involved not only military but economic issues that are yet to be spelled out. i was struck by the seriousness of this action by the extent of which it was an escalation. i have been a great critic of the president for not being tougher on russia. and the president basically laid the use of chemical weapons not at

led coordinated action at the u.k. and france behind it we had the well the french involvement was and these strikes what we have from the pentagon about the u.s. involvement. there we did hear from the pentagon a couple hours ago and they were very clear about what you just heard there that this was an operation that was done and it's now over it was not an extended operation and that they really hit those three key targets that you heard just there from dan forth and this is key because what they were basically saying is that they were not just going after a military base like they did a year ago those strikes air strikes a year ago this time they went after three different targets and what secretary of defense james mattis was indicating was is particularly is this one site outside of damascus being a scientific research center he said this is key because this is where the pentagon and the u.s. government alleges that the assad regime is creating. chemical weapons from this facility outside damascus so they say by t

but that this coordination especially with the states is pretty complicated at the moment and given that complication and in the search for coordination and what about the other european military having weight the u.k. because british prime minister theresa may is talking with her cabinet today right . she is she is she called the back from the easter break in principle it seems that the prime minister of the u.k. is willing to follow the u.s. lead here as soon as we know what they actually want to do but the problem and the little twist here is that the opposition at least parts of the opposition are calling for parliament to approve this they don't have to do that it's not the law but it's sort of a convention and if you look at the history of the u.k. following the u.s. in two wars in two thousand and three for example in iraq that didn't go too well that this this might complicate matters or even slow them down absolutely indeed simon merkel for her part doesn't want to get directly involved as you mentioned earlier but you know she did indicate that if the u.n. security council

special coordinator for the middle east peace process says that until the occupation ends and the two state solution is achieved the conflict will remain a key driver of extremism and a persistent threat to regional security gaza is coming upon us as we speak. it is coming apart under the pressure of an explosive combination of negative humanitarian security and political factors if another conflict between hamas and israel were to erupt this would have devastating consequences for palestinians in gaza it could undermine the relative stability of the west bank and have repercussions for israel and the region as well i say this with a heavy heart and in the hope that all of us will do our utmost in the spirit of preventive diplomacy or let's go to mike hanna now who is at the united nations in new york mike heavy words and warnings about possible future conflict in gaza but is anybody there doing anything about it. well there's a great depth of concern about that ever escalating crisis in gaza this is a quarterly briefing by the special coordinator one that is separate from the normal

on their policy as well been absolutely a lot of coordination and working the best efforts of the afghan security forces and we will hear the refrain again as we have heard before the afghan people there is frustrated with their government and the security forces that they can't be protected and of course as always it is civilians who are the injured and the dead very rarely are the made to tax do they reach security forces so it's another difficult day in the afghan capital any reaction from the government yet. not so far and again i think they're just accounting. get in trying to figure out how ok jennifer will talk to shore again pretty soon in the meantime thanks very much syrian state t.v. is reporting that rockets have struck several military bases and hama and the aleppo countryside now the army is calling it a new aggression by its enemies state media had earlier reported successive blasts in the west in hama province iranian forces a station in that area al-jazeera is in aleppo province. it's one of the strongest attacks on the military civilians in aleppo described hearing a hu

wwe are still trying to bring in a new it coordinator. i am here for the evening and supported by one of the senior investigators. right here. if anyone has any questions or issues we can help with during the commission tonight. someone is available to meet with him. thank you so much for being here. >> you are hiring amid dation coordinator. we have the mediations? >> they are ongoing. i am bringing in a cordnator because a want to expand or mediation program. it is one of the most -- it is one of our highest rated programs in the agency. i want to do more of it. >> for the members of the public the dpa has amid dation program where someone says an officer was rude or didn't treat me like i thought i should be treated. they bring them both in the room. the officer hears i didn't realize my voice sounded rude. one of the first levels of the use of force is our voice. the reason we weren't looking at your eyes, we are trained to look at your hands for safety. the people in the room and they say now, i know why that person did that. the off

i'm a former coordinate in the city of inglewood in the late '80s/early '90s. the problem is, we're in a crisis situation with street cleaning. tourist season is ready to come. you can do what you want with the budget at any time. i live in a transitional housing building. we need to pay the people that live that are on g.a.r. or cap to help clean the streets in their neighborhood. that's how you will clean up the tenderloin. you will not clean it up by bringing in outside people. let the people in the neighborhood take care of their own neighborhoods. snare not doing anything in the rooms. let's do a proactive approach. give the people the jobs that live there. and then you will see -- you will see a change in the tenderloin. hire the people on c.a.p. to clean the streets. that's all i have to say. >> thank you for your comment. next speaker, please. >> good afternoon. pat scott. i'm here by accident. i just happened to peek in and see you sitting here, so i thought i would have my two cents worth. i really am asking you for $200,000 for teen programming. we h

that happened in the early hours of this morning, coordinated between the us, uk and france.

against its people you know israel has a lot of respect for russia we have very good cooperation coordination with respect with some of what's going on and i understand and appreciate that russia is looking out for its interests also russian forces are inside of syria and have a good view of what's going on so it's very difficult and i think it would be a mistake on my part to do that kind of calculation again going to the specific attack i didn't even say and i cannot see who was it ordered by who is it approved by who knew about it and i would rather look at the broader picture even you know also i think we make a mistake them sometimes after hundreds and thousands of people killed the taking what specific incident of using coreen and being shocked as if that is some crossing some red line and all the rest all the other people that are you know that's that's war also that i think is a mistake i think many times the the means that are used in the internal war in syria are means that are questionable and i'm talking about bombing a civilian and terrorist act colonel it's not like he's real ha

he said no coordination with the russians nor did we pre-notify them. and i want to get to barbara starr. it is important to point out jim talked about the weapons and the types of facilities that we're targeting. a scientific research center in damascus area and whether he believes they were testing chemicals ab a weapons storage facility west of hom where they believe sarin gas may have been held -- stored there. chemical weapons storage facility and so on. three different targets, all relating to chemical weapons. >> don, what is so extraordinary is what you just mentioned, they went downtown damascus and essentially struck a target in damascus, associated with bashar al assad chemical weapons research capability. damascus is a city and the other location you mentioned homs, this is an area of syria that is heavily defended by both syrian and russian air defenses. they did mention that they saw some activity by syrian air defenses, we'll learn tomorrow whether any of the allied missiles were potentially in fact shot down by the air defenses. but the

we have heard from the un urging for stability now after this latest coordinated action.that is what all of this seems to be coming back to? that is what people in syria are being killed by. it is all down to a german scientist who was absolutely brilliant but incredibly brutal. he introduced the chlorine gas in the first world war, 1915. he was so proud of his achievements, he was so proud of his achievements, he was so proud of his achievements, he was so delighted he held a party to celebrate it. his wife, clara, an equally brilliant scientist but she was a committed pacifist. at that particular party she went out into the garden and shot herself. he went on to develop other chemical warfare as well. it is quite the irony of the whole thing, he invented as icon be. that was used in the concentration camps and lots of his relatives were killed by that —— zyklon b. many people saw him as a genius. einstein said a kind of raving barbarian. but they think the best thing they could do would be to ta ke best thing they could do would be to take away his nobel peace prize. th

>> yes, it is coordinated. we know that because hannity and trump speak frequently.other conservative media commentators frequently. he meets with them, talks with them, dines with them at the white house and mar-a-lago. it's an absolutely coordinated effort all part of an alternative universe of information. the president props up an alternative reality where he's winning, his enemies are losing, where mueller's corrupt, and where this investigation needs to be disbanded. that's the alternative universe, that parts of fox, the "national enquirer" that's been in the news, sinclair commentators, right-wing media outlets prop up this alternative universe and, look, that's fine in some ways. i love reading fiction novels. what they are promoting is a version of fiction and it does a disservice to their viewers to claim that it is facts. >> i was going to say -- >> to claim it's reality. >> doesn't it do a disservice to the american people, because they're not getting the full story. you can criticize, you know, cnn all you want or other news organizations but at least t

hating fbi lovebirds, peter strzok and lisa page, show that the fbi appears to have improperly coordinated with the doj to expedite the fisa warrant to spy on trump campaign associate carter page. also breaking, a new memo is now showing the deputy attorney general rod rosenstein in fact allowed robert mueller to go way beyond his mandate to investigate paul manafort. this includes using the phony clinton bought and paid for dossier to go after the former trump campaign chairman.in and also breaking, a brand-new poll showing 67% of you, the american people, want a special counsel to be appointed to investigate the severe fisa abuses against the trump campaign and 77% of americans see fake news for what it is. this, of course, after thehe attorney general jeff sessions appointed a utah prosecutor to do essentially a lot of the same things. we'll explain. special, plus, i have a message for the destroy trump media once again trying to twist and distort my words in their latest attempt to smear, slander, besmirch me. that is all happening in tonight's breaking news opening monologue. ♪ . brea

into coordination and no nothing. it is a witch hunt, that is all it is. >> reporter: and we should note there was a democratic dissent to the collusion from the house intelligence but bottom line, even though they're investigation has wrapped up after a year, robert mueller, special counsel's investigation is still very much ongoing. jake. >> pamela bound at the white house. >>> joining me to discuss it is phil mudd. and let's start with the bombshell news of the fact that this russian lawyer actually is an informant working with the prosecutor general in russia, describing herself as an informant. what do you make of that? >> i look at this and say, look, we'll never get access to her. there is two characteristics to an investigation, talking to people and acquiring the data and looking at her history of involvement and now she's admitted that with russiaon officials, seeing if i could acquire data. the data related to e-mails with people with the campaign, phone numbers, i want to see that data. and then start to b
