part of the country, in the eastern part of libya. otherwise, some things seem to be fairly normal. i was driving around at 1:30 a.m. just a little while ago in one city in eastern libya, and i saw a supermarket open. there were some stores, a video store was open, so there's some semblance of normal life. there's not a curfew or anything like that. there don't seem to be any shortages of food or petro or anything of that sort. there's still, of course, communication problems. but by in large, despite all of the changes that have occurred, life is fairly normal, although you see lots of demonstrations. we got caught in a very large anti-gaddafi demonstration where the demonstrators were so enthusiastic, it took half an hour just to drive very slowly through the crowd. there is this fence here that, after 42 years, people can finally express themselves and sometimes they express themselves so much that you simply don't have time to listen to everybody's individual story and their individual grievance against the 42 years of muammar gad

. >> dan murray -- murphy, stakeholder in the eastern neighborhoods. i was appointed to be on the eastern neighborhood infrastructure finance work group, which was actually the group that recommended this half -- this ifd tool for transitioning areas in san francisco, so i have been very involved in the background. recently, i was voted by the members to represent the neighborhood cac on this committee, which is piloting this incredibly important financing tool in the rincon hill area. i think the policies that staff has developed in consultation with people like me representing the public are right on point. i think it is a great program. i would be remiss if i did not say in the context of being on the eastern neighborhood cac, i look forward in the not too distant future of working with this type of tool in the eastern neighborhood. i recognize the -- that rincon hill is a pilot area, but i hope we do not wait five years to be able to do this. this is a growth area for san francisco. private sector development for close to 30 years now. i can tell y

the eastern section part of this project involves long lead items. we are about to advertise the remaining items. the equipment in question is really critical because it is needed during a shutdown. -- a shutdown period where we have to install pieces of equipment. it can only be shutdown once a year. we would like to thank the budget analyst for a really thorough review. we would respectfully like to suggest a minor change in the analyst recommendation. in addition to recommending putting the $65 million for the construction of the eastern section, we would like you to consider also adding the $2.3 million. those funds could be released at the same time as the eastern segment. it will be required for the controllers to release the reserve. that concludes my presentation. >> the department is basically agreeing with our table 6 with one exception. the reason that we did not recommend approval of that commitment, we were not provided with any documentation regarding that. if the committee is satisfied, the comptroller would release it upon submission

matter is that the eastern province of saudi arabia are overwhelmingly shiite were the oil is is shia eat and these provinces were stolen by the wahabi to run that country in nineteen zero two these people don't want to live in a stand they don't want to live in saudi arabia that's why i am an arguing if there was a free government in iran it would be a natural our by the forces of freedom for you to the united states the west i know the west is hated by in my the other speaker here i love the west thank god because at least and for those for you think the people in the greater middle east love the west for what it's done over the last four decades harold. do you think the people in central asia love the russians or the people in prayer. change the sound you can just all shades of the city against for years me and millions of probably people from central asia come to russia to work come on harold get clued in here ok and you throw them out of moscow is what you do think they're coming every single day here and being why are you changing the subject why do you have always exactly the s

peter put up in texas study from the eastern neighborhoods -- put up a nexus study from the eastern neighborhoods. it put up these that would provide the infrastructure for all the increased development that came in the plan. a subsequent study that developed a fee structure for what could be charged to a developer came up with a number that was about half of the needed these are needed amount to provide that infrastructure. as we look at 55,000 new housing units in these areas, how will we be providing the needed infrastructure, in terms of increased to of care, open spaces, and transportation infrastructure? thank you. >> brad paul, speaking as a father and an uncle, as you'll see in a minute. why should we care? why should we care affordable housing is not bill? i want to say what my nephew said, who just turned 32. he just got his first living wage job is his entire life. until then, he worked at shopping malls, where there would not hire him for more than 20 hours a week. he drove two to three hours a day to go to work. what did he drive? he did not drive a car for more than 18 months. the c

now, the easterners were men in the british government. they had come to the conclusion that britain and france would never defeat germany on the western front. that was a killing field. there was no way to victory by just blasting through the western front. and so a back door must be found. well, that door was located in turkey. it could either be kicked open, or it could be opened by turks themselves. well, they couldn't kick it open. they tried in the famous campaign at gallipoli. the man most associated in the early stages of the war with this group of easterners was none other than winston churchill, and he was one of the architects of the ill-fated campaign at gallipoli, and he paid the political price. but there were many others, and the easterners now concluded that they couldn't batter down the door, and so they must find a way to open it by agreement. and so we come -- i, i show you marmaduke pickfall mainly because i love his name.

what does it say about the other german crimes in eastern europe? they killed more than 3 million soviet prisoners of war. the second largest german war crime. in general this is mentioned very briefly or sometimes not at all but in my view it is important to understand the holocaust and even if i am wrong about that, it strikes me if one were concerned about german war crimes we would want to bring in all of them to check to see if there is some kind of a relationship. the final difficulty has to do with comparison. what i have been edging toward is the argument one has to understand eastern europe and the soviet union to understand the crime germany committed which i like to think is an obvious place but i am afraid it is sent. one of the things that has held us back is comparison to different ways. on the one hand there is a strong tradition of comparison that begins that these regimes are both totalitarian. i have a lot to say about that if it interest you but the problem to note is the totalitarian school you look at soviet society and the nazi

the eastern neighborhoods, which was a massive rezoning project. took about 10 years. i've heard folks suggest that by the time the eastern neighborhoods did come to fruition, the issues that it sought to deal with were they had already come and gone. i only mention these things to highlight perhaps issues that could crop up should this project gain steam and move forward. i will put this down as an item that will be a great topic for discussion at the next hearing. president o'brien: we'll talk some more about what could open that meeting. mr. cider, one of the things i would like to see improvement on is communication between planning and d.b.i. there's never been very good communication. we have meeting, i'm not sure how often they are. we never get any planning there, even though our director asking for someone there. it's like, d.b.i. really doesn't matter, we're not that important. i'd just like to assure you that we are the ones that paid for that trump tower that you guys live in over there. d.b.i. paid for that. so we'd like a little bit more respect. i don't

they won the first world war on the eastern front. they were never defeated. they were defeated on the western front, which meant that for many german, including most of the nazi leadership in eastern europe and especially ukraine was the kind of mystical land of opportunity, a bread basket, plays her future empire could be one. and this is crucial because this place is eastern europe and the various hortense imagine if geography the nazis have. if it's a particular ukraine between hip and installing in a way which is going to become crucially important. the first chapter is about the same in. the famine in the ukraine in 1932 to 1933. what is striking here is that i felt i was coming to power in germany, who's making a let girls be just about famine ukraine. he has seen the feeling in ukraine joseph arcs of them coming to. of course by marxism he means communist the social democrats and in fact different who disagrees with them come up in the into one bag. but the interesting thing is the famine is going on in the background and is known about in germany as f

. >> the revolution enspired protests in other middle eastern countries. it could lead to stronger ones across the region. egypt is the most influential country in the arab world according to this middle eastern expert who is comparing this revolt to the people power and worker led revolutions two decades ago. >> 2011 could be to the middle east was 1989 was to eastern europe. a desire for human freedom. desire for accountable government is something that is universal. and while the transition to democracy in egypt and other middle eastern countries could be rocky and many ways i see this as the best thing that could happen in terms of america's interests. >> he said when people can express their grievances and work to change, they're less like to be attracted to extremist ideologies. >>> egyptians living in the bay area are celebrating this day in their homeland, even from afar. the emotions are clear. abc 7 is in the newsroom with that part of the coverage. >>> we visited a mosque today. the sheik says fears egypt could become a religious state are unfou

we have a report now from inside eastern libya. we are not naming or showing the correspondent out of safety concerns. >> reporter: checkpoints on the road from the border with egypt. but these are colonel qaddafi's men, they're the youth who say they run eastern libya now. the doors and windows of these desert outposts are painted green, qaddafi's color, but there's no sign of his government anymore. in the first town to fall, they're celebrating still, letting off steam, defying the dictator. they burned down the police station last week. here police and army went over to the rebel side pretty quickly. this part of libya never supported colonel qaddafi. in the crowd, a libyan from a town who didn't give his name. >> we have to get rid of it. it's been 40 years of people living scared. you can't even pick up a phone to say something on the phone, you're scared of what you're saying. >> reporter: they gather on the spot where the crowd destroyed concrete monuments of the green book, the political philosophy qaddafi invented and for

at the eastern border, a nine-hour difference. to make the country run smoother, the government has started cutting the number of time zones, but in at least one region the locals aren't happen. >> reporter: over 1,000 people protested against russia's government last december in a region in the far east. last spring the government reduced the nine-hour time difference between there and moscow by one hour and plans to subtract another. the locals are angry with the government's decision. >> translator: it's a human rights violation because it misses up the natural rhythm of our daily lives. >> reporter: it's not going to be good for our physical well-being. that much is clear to me. >> reporter: authorities are trying to celebrate the time zone. this is not the first time the russian government has invoked changes. >> reporter: they switched to the new time zone last year. now winter darkness falls around 4:00 p.m. people are still going about their daily routine. svetlana strongly opposes the government edict. she has to keep the

they also proposed launching a pilot in the eastern neighborhoods. in 2010, supervisor maxwell approved a resolution forming a new committee to oversee the work on launching these policies and also a pilot on the hill. this committee was made up of members to the capital planning group, budget office, comptroller's office, and the planning department. there was also four public stakeholders finally, i would like to give the size that we are using this proposal somewhat opportunistic lee. there is a unique opportunity to purchase a public park on the site of a formal caltrans site. she we could have the first on sale in the state of california. these have not been used in the state. this would be a first. in november, 2010, a key -- were used to pursue this. that set a date for a hearing. this was posted on the web site. this was released on december 2nd. if requires that the draft is available to the public for two months and we have met that statutory requirement. the package includes seven revolution -- resolutions. the resolution introduced on jan

but the military is taking a side, at least in eastern libya. at that military barracks we didn't just see soldiers sitting out this conflict, we went downstairs and saw the troops handing out heavy weapons. the military bases have been completely emptied, they're now taking all of the weapons, including heavy machine guns, rocket launchers. and they say now that the people and the military are together. most of the fighting right now seems to be centered in tripoli, and it is fair to say, at least from what we could say today, that eastern libya is no longer under gadhafi's control. rebel leaders tell us they believe they control about 30% of all of libya right now, brian. >> richard engel starting us off from libya tonight. richard, we trust, as always, you'll travel safely. libya is obviously a big nation and a big prize in this wave of uprising in the region. and it's the bloodiest we've seen so far sweeping through the arab world. we just heard richard report, this is more than a protest movement or a rebellion, it's a civil war, they say,
