in summing up the opinion session of the islamic council, the islamic council said: until our belief is in the direction of improving the situation, the problems will not be fundamentally solved. now the policies are being applied in such a way that we have an incentive to import, that is, we are increasing the demand for width. and then we don't have the motivation to export to be able to actually increase our supply. this is one of the points that if we do not correct. then, like now, unfortunately, the golden signatures in the relevant housing ministry will start for this existing rent, and then i will find my own floors. tick that we have to solve. i want to say that now this situation of supply and demand has become a permanent thing for us. we have had this issue in all the past years and certainly in the coming years, now friends say 70 billion dollars. this is what i would like to request that both the economy commission and the industry commission really correct this in a definitive expert meeting. in the 7th plan, in this context , it is foreseen to review the request for a

council in the country.ace, thwaite watermill, one of the last working watermills in the country. they've already increased council tax, introduced more car parking charges. they're proposing to cut around 300 full—time jobs this year, when they've already lost over 3000 jobs. all of this as they try to balance a budget that is coming under severe financial pressure, including a big rise in demand for those needing support with special educational needs. but leeds city councillors aren't alone in having to make this wide range of difficult decisions. fireworks — plenty of those in council funding meetings across the country, but no actual official fireworks here in nottingham, with the council funded display cancelled for the fifth year in a row. and i'm told it's unlikely to happen ever again. far from the most significant cut, but perhaps a sign of the sort of thing that's just nice to have, but councils can't commit to any more. few places have had as much difficulty as nottingham. this is one of the auth

we move away from the security council. | away from the security council.of what we have seen over the course of the day, there are reports of direct confrontation between hezbollah and the idf as well as the report that israeli forces are being sent into lebanon.— into lebanon. that is right. all of them _ into lebanon. that is right. all of them are _ into lebanon. that is right. all of them are really i into lebanon. that is right. | all of them are really giving an indication as to how this fledgling ground invasion is going. as we were saying there, the fact that they are reporting this close quarters combat suggests they actually have engaged directly, the two sides, with each other for the first time. and as you are saying, israel have also sent extra additional troops to the area as well, another division, so they are looking to swell their ranks. what we still don't know is quite what shape and scale this is really ground operation will take. they have described it as targeted and localised and limited. that is where it seems to be at the moment. t

this moment a break risk is a test of this council. it is imperative that we unequivocally condemn ron's attack and demand that it sees that support for terrorism in the region. people in israel and gaza and the west bank and loving on and across the region deserve a durable piece. and it is far past the time for this counsel to hold the ron accountable for fanning the flames of war. thank you, man. you will not see the present phone. you have been listening to the un security council meeting that is going on will be dipping in and out over the next hour or so at un headquarters in new york. this is an emergency meeting that was called by friends. and it's about the situation in the middle east, there's not going to be a resolution, as our corresponding gabriel elizondo was reporting earlier. there's not going to be a resolution. there's not going to be a vote to the un security council isn't really going to take action after this. this is an opportunity for major countries, members of this security council to air their views on this c

, security council meeting regarding uh the situation in west asia, and the you, the russian invoice said, hailed he hailed iran for exercising exceptional restraint visave israeli aggressions and said that it is clear that iran doesn't want further. escalation or confrontation, he condemned and denounced the us's unvavoring support in providing the israeli war machine with arms to be used against innocent women and children, civilians. um, and he said that the goal of the israel uh, the israeli regime is now very clear, and it just wants to trigger escalation and a war between two, the two um governments of iran and... the us and if something like that happens, it will lead to unimaginable levels of escalation, not just limited to the middle east, but the entire world, so that was, he also demanded full implementation of article 1701. that was a brief summary of what the russian invite to the un uh just shared with the security council's emergency meeting. all right, i'm going to uh talk to sakina datu, author, journalist and producer who is with us from london. sakina is very good

now the council is holding a regular meeting to discuss whether council member omar torres should bemoved from office amid disturbing sexual misconduct allegations. nbc bay area's kris sanchez joining us from san jose with where things stand in order to govern, you have to be present. and councilman omar torres was absent from the last city council meeting and also absent from several other meetings and public events. councilman omar torres said he missed that last council meeting because he was sick. today, the council will vote on whether to accept that reason for his absence and to excuse it if the council votes not to approve the absence, it could pave the way for torres's eventual removal from office. the city charter says that after five consecutive unexcused absences, the council person can be ousted. this follows the council and mayor's request for torres to resign. all of my colleagues, including the mayor, have asked for his resignation and i believe that if he if he resign, it would help our community bring us back to the trust and integrity. that is what we deserve. i'll

at this moment , the un security council is discussing the situation. after the statement about israel's prepared response to iran's missile attack. prime minister netanyahu holds a meeting with the security bloc. before that, the meeting was held by the heads of intelligence and tsakh. people and equipment, well, and as it became known, in wednesday, while advancing deep into lebanon , israeli troops ran into a hezbollah ambush, and the idf reported the death of eight soldiers. meanwhile, israel rejected the proposal of france and the united states to cease fire in lebanon. this was reported by gen. sekterish at an emergency meeting of the security council, dedicated to the escalation of the situation in the middle east. israel, however, rejected the statement of the very. several days, dedicated to the situation in the middle east, however, this meeting can really be called unprecedented, since, as you correctly noted, on on the eve, the israeli foreign ministry declared un secretary general antonio guterres a nongrata for allegedly not actively conde

despite iran's call for action, the council again failed to act. meanwhile, several states, including the united states, urged iran to maintain. the strength, citing ongoing cease fire negotiations, we respected these calls for diplomacy, yet no seis fire materialized and israel only grow bolder, again we witness another penis crime by israel, this time through the detonation of communication devices targeting the innocent people of lebanon, a larger number of innocent civilians were killed. and injured, including iran's ambassador to lebanon. this was yet another manifestation of state terrorism. following, israel carried out a blatant act of terrorist aggression using us supply thousands pound bunker bosters to assassinate sayid hasan nasrullah, the leader of hizbullah and a symbol of resistance against israeli occupation and aggression in lebanon. this brutal attack. resulted in the martyrism of numerous innocent people, including hezbollah leader and iranian general abbassan while also leaving many civilians wounded. this aggreous act underscor

he missed city council meeting. it was an excuse now, according to the city council members, they voted 8 to one yesterday to excuse but they did something very radical. they could not. they don't have the power to kick him off the entire city council. instead, they just removed all of his powers. they say if he moves forward and he does not show up day amy vis committees or city council meetings, he will need to do a lot better in. explain more than generically say he's just kill at this time. no one has seen him publicly as far as the city council since this investigation broke out a little bit earlier this month. san jose's mayor matt mahan and come out came out that his words and choice. >> it's fair to the community. you heard that from the small business owner in the district. i believe counselor torres. it's holding his seat hostage into 9 representation to the 100,000 residents of district 3. we've all called on him to resign. he should resign. the difficult unique situation. we've got to move forward as bes

she knows councils are struggling to meet current needs. resources from a younger age, to get the children in early years, actually, the funding would be better spent because it would be stop children getting to a crisis mode. some autistic children struggle in mainstream. claire eventually decided to home educate her son. it's an emotional and mentall battle but you've got to smile through it and get through it| because you've got that little person there that needs you to fight through it. i kirklees council told us it was creating more special school places, trying to provide support faster to parents. but like many councils, was facing huge financial pressures. these are some of the challenges described in today's report. it says there has been 1a0% increase in education, health and care plans since 2015. parents see them as the best way of getting support. the budget is now more than £10 billion a year and yet 43% of councils risk bankruptcy by 2026 as deficits build up. so i asked the education secretary if radical change is needed. t

head of the sultanate's advisory council, khaled bin hellal al-maawali. russia's trade and economic ties with aman have reached a new level in recent years. last year, trade turnover reached its maximum level in the last 10 years. last year alone it exceeded 400 million dollars, valentina matvienko noted and the prospects for the development of interregional cooperation. russian regions are showing interest in establishing ties with aman. i would like to emphasize separately that our countries, our peoples, are linked by traditionally friendly relations, already tested by time, their integral part is political dialogue, it is always constructive and trusting. in turn, the head of advisory. council of the sultanate also noted the desire of the two countries to strengthen and develop bilateral relations. according to him, the positions of russia and oman on almost all issues on the international agenda are close or coincide. the dialogue between the leaders of the two states plays an important role in this. we would like to emphasize that any cooperation mu

two council members recused themselves. the vote came after dozens of people spoke out on the project, some in favor, saying the shopping center is in decline and costco would help revitalize it. but many say the wholesaler would also be too close to a high school and would create a dangerous traffic nightmare. well, we know this. millions of people eat at mcdonald's, but an e coli outbreak is forcing the fast food giant to take a popular item off the menu. this is happening in some western states and it's happening with the quarter pounder. nbc's pete suratos has the new details. is making headlines nationwide tonight. an e coli outbreak linked to the popular mcdonald's quarter pounder. the particular strain of e coli that was isolated in these hamburgers is the one that can cause pretty severe illness. the cdc says the outbreak is impacting these ten states, which does not include california. but still, some mcdonald's customers here in the bay area say the news is a bit unsettling. it's very concerning because people get

, the union of islamic councils and the asian council of councils, in order to prosecute the illegitimate regime and prevent further crimes by this regime. on the anniversary of tofan al-aqsab operation, people expressed their hatred and disgust for the crimes of the zionist regime. our reporters asked people's opinion about the crimes of this regime and the resistance of the palestinian people. hai collects the body of his child and shouts after an explosion in one of the hospitals in gaza . the body of his child in his hand after the bombing of his house in gaza is a repeated story of the days and nights that have passed over the people of gaza in this one year. this is the last example of a man with the torn body of one of his loved ones, that is, holding one of his hands and whispering. it's very sad. it's really hard for everyone to see it . it's really hard. no, i'm sick. i'm really sick . what is the zionist regime known as? been in the past year women.

also called for an emergency meeting of the security council. they are not members of the security council, of course, but they called it for different reasons. israel called it in response to iran's missile attack on israel. of course, iran called this emergency meeting or requested, i should say, an emergency meeting because of a, israel's missile strikes on lebanon. so there's a lot of players involved here. i should mention 11 on will be speaking at this meeting as well as will you ron and uh israel as well. so that is really the purpose of this meeting. it was scheduled late last uh, late, late last night, late tuesday night. and we of course, heard from the secretary general, there's not going to be any vote, there's no resolution on the table here. this is a chance for the, the major parties here to basically express where they see this going, moving forward from the security council standpoint. okay. that's really interesting, this is not one of those scenarios, lake ones that we've covered before in the past, during this conflict where

the city council unanimously approved chief joseph appointment. the police union also praised the decision. now to san francisco. the city's da and the mission district's new police captain walked the beat today, hoping to get a better sense of what the mission district needs to feel safer. more than 200,000 people live in the district, and more than half of the people who live and work there are hispanic. the san francisco hispanic chambers of commerce requested this visit from district attorney brooke jenkins and the district's new police captain. chambers says the goal is a face to face meeting with the people and businesses. the department nda are here to protect. we're out here just to make sure that people feel supported. you know, people who own businesses here, they have invested their lives, their families lives. and it's important for them to feel like they have a team behind them. well, it means a lot because it means that they care about the issues or needs in the neighborhood. all right. so the merchants say they need more parking and

well, now we have a live broadcast from the federation council. federal budget for the upcoming three-year period. it so happened that our hearing, we are holding the birthday of our president, we have a good opportunity with such a composition to all together congratulate our deeply respected vladimir vladimirovich on his birthday, to wish him the same courageous, the same steadfast defense of the interests and sovereignty of russia, to wish him good health, colleagues, we are all behind him as if behind a stone wall, let's congratulate our president, colleagues, i want to thank the heads of the regions, representatives of the ministries and departments, scientists, experts, everyone who is taking part in our work today, special thanks to you, anton germanovich, your colleagues in the financial and economic block of the government, for such a voluminous, verified work for constant effective interaction with the federation council. back in the spring session, we were we were proposals for the formation of the concept of the main financial document

. >> a city council in crisis. how san jose leaders are handling the absence of omar torres amid the disturbing allegations of child sex abuse. >> ktvu, fox two news at five starts now. >> and hello everyone. >> i'm heather holmes and i'm greg lee. we start in san francisco where a vigil is getting underway tonight after a man was struck and killed by a dump truck. >> our christian captain has been following this story all day and joins us now live near the scene near the panhandle christian. >> yeah, we are here at the intersection of parnassus and stanyan, the location of that deadly collision this morning. as you said, that vigil just now, getting underway across the street from us where we are to mark this, the 20th pedestrian fatality so far this year in san francisco, san francisco police say the deadly collision happened at around 845 this morning. investigators say this dump truck was headed south on stanyan. the pedestrwa headed south on stanyan. both had the green light and investigators say it appears th

the icj's temporary orders can be referred to the un security council. that is exactly what the algerian government is trying to do. and calls on the international community to take urgent action to come to the aid of the oppressed and persecuted to put an end to this aggression and to relaunch the peace processed. like a small snowball, when it is thrown from the top of the mountain, it has the ability to turn into an avalanche. the israeli publication, israel huyum admitted this fact about launching legal campaigns against israel. according to the report, many countries will cut off ties with israel based on the ruling. adding this is like a dangerous snowball that the enemies of israel will widely exploit in the media and provoke public opinion against israel. the hebrew daily further notes that such a pressure may even force the us government to stop supporting israel in the war. the concern the daily raised was realized after. months and the us sought to protect itself from the fallout of israel's behavior which had legal repercussions. the uprising

at least in appearance, this place is different from the security council in legal terms. from 1948 to 2016, 225 resolutions have been passed in the security council on the issue related to palestine and the zionist regime's behavior, and more than 102 of the resolutions are against the actions committed by israel that violate international law, but all of them were vetoed by the us, and the resolution'. became ineffective, it means the security council as a political pillar of the united nations lacks the value of justice. the un general assembly can also be considered its legal pillar, because all members have equal votes and there is no veto. the assembly's decision on palestine and its right to membership alone will not resolve the problem, legal and... and judicial words can rise together, so here the role of the icj, which is the judicial pillar of the un, plays an important role, here it issues a judicial verdict regardless of the political situation. in the hague court, decisions are highly enforceable and have the effect of a trial. the icj has such a character th

yesterday they met city council chambers. they talked about him instead of city business because they're saying he's not taking care of business and that is ultimately hurting the city and his 100,000 constituents in district 3 ever since the investigation became public, the city council members and the mayor, they have not seen him back on october 8th. he actually did not show up for a city council meeting yesterday. they voted to move from an excused to excused. but they say that does not change the fact that they want him off the city council. in fact, we got a chance to track down the mayor. he has some choice words to omar torres. >> for the community, you heard that from a small business owner in the district. i believe counselor torres. it's holding his seat hostage into 9 representation to the 100,000 residents of district 3. we've all called on him to resign. he should resign. the difficult unique situation. we've got to move forward as best as we can situation been in before. >> so if you're wondering why they can't

it will come as the san jose city council is calling on current council member, omar torres to resign. he's being investigated for alleged child sex crimes. and they voted unanimously to strip torres of all of his committee obligations. san jose mayor, matt mahan, says torres has lost the trust of his constituents. torres says he has no plans to resign. >>> and now a troubling new report finds residents living in the biggest city of the area could take up to 11 hours to evacuate in the event of another disaster. that's according to a new study by a non-profit called the tahoe sierra clean air coalition. they will use the computer simulations to show how evacuations might play out on the south side of the lake. they could take people between four to 11 hours to leave the area. a previous study raised similar concerns on the northern half of the lake. >>> well the first of its kind flood gates are now complete in stockton where it is designed to protect 40,000 homes from flooding. this is happening along the delta. this area is in a 100-year flood zone, which means they will require the

council israel has flooded gaza with as much aid as possible. continue to enter gaza and we appreciate our international partners for their assistance. with hundreds of aid trucks to be distributed inside gaza while others are hijacked and diverted by hamas. this session has entirely missed the real issue at hand. the issue in gaza is not a lack of aid emma the issue in gaza is not a lack ofaid emma more the issue in gaza is not a lack of aid emma more than enough aid has been entered to sustain every civilian in gaza with over1 million tonnes delivered since the war began. yet the challenges continue. yes, we admit that. it's not due to israel's efforts or failure to deliver humanitarian assistance, the real issue is hamas. this terrorist organisation has hijacked the aid, seizing it for their own purposes. they still and sell the aid that is intended for gaza civilians. turning humanitarian relief into a profit machine. instead of feeding the hungry or caring for the sick hamas uses the supplies to feed their terror machine. hamas's expectatio

head of the sultanate's advisory council, khaled bin hillal al-mowali. trade and economic. russia's ties with aman have reached a new level in recent years, with trade turnover reaching its highest level in the last 10 years years, last year alone it exceeded 400 million dollars, valentina matvienko noted, and the prospects for the development of interregional cooperation. russian regions are showing interest in establishing ties with aman. i would like to emphasize separately that our countries, our peoples are linked by traditionally friendly relations, already time-tested, their inalienable. the government will spend 350 billion rubles annually to bring life expectancy in russia closer to 80 years. for russia, a long and active life is not just a holiday slogan, a national project. and it is in the attention of the federation council, but it is not only the quantity, but also the quality of these years that is important. the most athletic russians of the older generation were determined this week in the kemerovo region. the ninth spartakiad of pension

other council members. allegations against torres were revealed earlier this month. police are investigating him after finding what they call disturbing chats regarding minors. and since then, torres has not a tensile council doodles duties and was absent from the council meeting on october 8th. this meeting marks the second time this month. torres was not present at a city council meeting according to the city councilmember with 5 consecutive unexcused absences can't be removed from the city council altogether. >> the community, you heard that from the small business owner in the district. i believe counselor torres. it's holding his seat hostage into 9 representation to the 100,000 residents of district 3. we've all called on him to resign. he should resign. the difficult unique situation. we've got to move forward as best as we can situation been in >> these temporary reassignments will remain in place through the new year. that's when the mayor releases his yearly memo. and torres has denied all allegat

>> well, i put out a statement today along with every other member of the council, except for councilalling on him to resign. we recognize that there's an ongoing investigation. the council member, like any member of our community, deserves due process. and that is a job for our police department. da judges, the criminal justice system. however, there's another bar that is relevant here, which is the trust and faith of our community, the ability to lead and represent effectively. and i believe, and my fellow council colleagues believe that councilmember torres is no longer able to effectively represent district three. >> now, earlier today, district three staff sent out a letter to district three representative members of which i am one who, saying that they are still stand ready to serve the people in the district. now, it's interesting to note that that letter was signed by district three staff, and it did not have councilman torres name on it, but still, the staff says they're still there to help people who live in the district. and torres has said he's still there to serve the dis

well, now the un security council broadcast. this event is rightfully in the focus of the security council, since it represents a direct threat to international peace and security, energy, ecology... at the briefing we convened on april 26 , they rushed to assert that the investigative actions carried out by denmark and sweden were effective and met high standards of the rule of law. now, as they convince us, we must wait for the completion of the allegedly equally effective and transparent investigation of the federal republic of germany. and this despite the fact that... they were invariably blocked by the united states and its allies under the pretext that it was allegedly impossible to put pressure on german investigators. this is extremely disappointing and surprising to us, since the investigations of the german authorities, just like the completed investigations of denmark and sweden, are being carried out in a completely non-transparent manner for us. and this, despite the fact that russia is definitely the affected part

you know that we have held 6 council elections so far . it has been almost 27 years and this law needs to be amended. well, many issues have changed , including advertising in cyber space. it was not enough, now the parliament wants it make this legal or the discussion of election violations that specifies that in fact these violations should be investigated in what way. it takes or the authority that provinces and cities actually have in the issue of council elections, where should this be resolved, whether it should be done in the country or in the department? the candidates who want to run for the city council elections are actually expressed in this plan . it is true that these should be tested by the body , that is, based on the cooperation and coordination between them now the ministry of interior or the organization of assessment should be done . they should go and participate in a test and it will be clear that they are worthy to participate in councils. their information is up-to-date on the latest economic, political and cultural

the council must decide whether to excuse torres recent absences from council meetings. he's missed two meetings in a row. the city charter says if he gets to five unexcused absences in a row, he could be removed altogether. after much debate today, the council majority ultimately voted to excuse his first absence. mayor meehan explaining his vote after consultation with the city attorney. i unfortunately don't feel that it's in the city's best interest to litigate whether or not he was sick on a single day two weeks ago as a one off. but that being said, he needs to resign. we've called on him to resign. he's holding a seat hostage. pretty firm comments there from the mayor. torres says he was sick but hasn't attended any meetings since the sexual misconduct investigation was announced. at this point, we should add, councilman torres has not been arrested or charged with any crime. also this evening, san jose has a new police chief. interim chief paul joseph will now become the permanent chief. the city councilman. the city council unanimously approved his appointment.

because then councils can't spend on other things.nder a lot of- pressure because those areas with the most needs in terms of tackling deprivationj should be given - special consideration. right now, charities are carrying much of the burden. the government say it's focussed on fixing the foundations of local government, and want to provide greater stability to areas like south tyneside. but how much money is added to council coffers and how it's divided will impact millions more people now finding themselves in need. colletta smith, bbc news. at the top of this programme we were getting a sense of conditions in gaza. we are trying to speak to areej al masry, who is an aid workerfor anera — american near east refugee aid — in gaza city. give us a sense of the challenges you are facing. my challenges you are facing. ij�*i neighbourhood challenges you are facing. m: neighbourhood was challenges you are facing. m; neighbourhood was the first neighbourhood was the first neighbourhood to be forced to evacuate, but me and my family refused

however, the public meeting of the islamic council started an hour ago . i am talking to the reporter of sada news agency to know the details of this meeting and mr. pishbahar, hello, please tell me what plans and bills are on the agenda of the house of nation representatives. thank you very much, mrs. khalili, in the name of allah, the most high. well, after the anti -sahivanist speeches of the speaker of the islamic council, the house entered the agenda and considered it as the first order of business. did the bill of the international convention for the prevention of sea pollution caused by the movement of ships, which of course had been returned from the guardian council, and the parliament resolved them and approved them again. to punish, in fact, the original smuggling of this it was also sent back from the guardian council that the members of the parliament discussed the amendments in order to secure the opinion of the guardian council and that i am actually speaking for the dear viewers and reporting that the parliament has entered another order an

council member wants says that's too long of a wait. and i think that we will look at every possible avenue within the legality of the laws. >> to make sure that we remove councilmember torres from his position. one says he wants to change the city's charter to make it so someone investigate for felony crime could be removed. right now. it's only if they are found guilty of that crime. we are talking to the city attorney to to see how do we change the chart wants proposal comes 2 weeks after the release of a police affidavit which torres admitted to sending lewd text about children. torres has denied any wrongdoing and has declined numerous calls to resign. council members want says the pressure should keep coming. and i think it's not if but when he's going to do it. torres represents one of the densest areas in population, most of downtown and japan town. getting back to like how downtown used to for this employee at scratch. cookery. he says torres should resign. i would love transparency but >> it doesn't seem like that's really get

and the city council and the mayor, they would love to kick him. >> i asked the city council. they also would love for him to simply resign. they cannot force him to leave and they can't force him to resign. so the best thing for them, the only thing available at this particular time is to strip him of all of his duties and basically stripped him of his powers and leave him only with the title of city council member. while this investigation plays out and they talked about it yesterday with the city council since the allegations broke on october 8th. and no one has seen omar torres. he has not shown up to his committee's. he has not shown up to city council meetings and more importantly, according to the mayor, he has not shown up for his constituents in district 3. they are very frustrated by this, but their hands are tied by the city charter because they cannot remove him at this particular time. all they can possibly do at this time. it's just leave him with that title. we've got a chance to talk to the mayor. here's his reaction to omar taurus. >> the community, you heard

it means the security council as a political pillar of the united nations lacks the value of justice. the un general assembly can also be considered its legal pillar, because all members have equal votes and their is no veto. the assembly's decision on palestine and its right to membership. alone will not resolve the problem, legal and judicial words can rise together, so here the role of the icj, which is the judicial pillar of the un, plays an important role, here it issues a judicial verdict regardless of the political situation. in the hague court, decisions are highly enforceable and have the effect of a trial. the icj has such a character that the governments cannot easily ignore its rulings, so the sound of the gavel in the main hall of the peace palace, which is the icj's judgment hall, brought about an important event in the history of the israeli occupation, a piece of rock from roben island where nelson mandela was imprisoned for. many years is in the peace palace as a reminder of his years of resistance against apartide, which shows that this court is sensitive to some iss

this after council members voted 8 to 1 to accept his reason for not being at the last council meeting. >> councilman torres has recently been absent from all committee, commission and board meetings that i'm aware of over the last two weeks. >> despite missing in action for two weeks, san jose city council members voted 8 to 1 to accept omar torres prior absence october 8th due to illness. only district seven rep diane doan broke ranks and voted no. >> i made it very clear that it is my moral fortitude that i cannot support his absence. >> at this point, torres has gone into self-imposed exile following details of a san jose police investigation into alleged child sexual abuse. in an email earlier this month, his attorney says the 42 year old was exchanging sexual fantasies and feelings when describing sex acts involving children, all of his council peers and the mayor insist. torres resigned as the police investigation proceeds. >> councilor torres is holding his seat hostage at this point and is denying representation to 100,000. >> san jose residents were very vibrant with. for dre

him off the city council. but neither is an option at this particular point because they are bound by the city charters. so for them, thep did the next best and he's basically stripping him of all his duties and leaving him with just the name of councilmember. for now with the hope of him resigning ultimately. now, yesterday they had a meeting in the afternoon to talk about omar torres, the investigation exploded earlier this month. and since then, no one has seen them. and more importantly, for the city council members and the mayor. he is a no show for his committees as well as city council meetings, particularly the one back on october. 8th was excused. they changed it to excused by a vote of a 2 run that they remove of his powers and they say we know what you are not allowed to show up to those committees and therefore you are leaving your constituents in the balance, hang in the balance and not filling their duties. we got a chance to hear from mayor matt mahan. here are his words to omar torres. not fair

we are here in here in the security council. i think he's at a loss, any room for the people that might include the nose from the beginning, from the 7 onward. these notes only the image photos. now this is not complete. can you use that? but i think what happens now in this year is specially we're seeing it in the last 3 weeks, is that he's living on the 10th or 4th. and that's not really know how to maneuver politically. you have to avoid section escalation of b realty or going to the whole, but yeah, we're getting close to it. so then can i ask if there is? absolutely no, we're going to move along the sort of politicians inside the country. i suppose the army pressure can then come from the outside. how difficult is it going to be for washington to impose some sort of limit or red line on the israel's behavior should they choose to do so? you know, the story tells us that the us could do it by decently indeed. so, and let them in at 82 when at present and try again at towed the problem is the baby was also quite a stream, rig

for immediate disescalation, call for immediate disescalation. regretably, the council failed in this00 lives in lebanon, 1000 lives in lebanon, including 87 children and 100% and 56 women, while displacing million of libanes in the country largest exodus, our inaction has effectively granted israel, under right of self-defense principle, our inaction has effectively granted israel, carte blanche, carteblance to continue its rampage in gaza, in west bank, carte blanche escalate against lebanon and pursue the bloody agenda of death and destruction. now we hear the new rhetorics of disescalation through escalation. strange: this is a dangerous fallacy. escalation inevitably breeds further and escalation for years to come, this surge of in violence has derailed efforts implement resolution. 27:35 and has severely compromised any prospect for calm in lebanon and the wider region. the security council must act, must act with greater resolve, to be relevant, simply. to be credible, as the highest authority responsible for maintaining international peace and security, it is unacceptable for
