there is a difference between replacing an elevator and modernizing an elevator. modernizing is a process where you don't have to necessarily take out the entire shaft of the elevator. the fire department issued a willingness to work with owners to change the dimensional requirements and whether it has to be large enough to get a fire department gurney inside the elevator. which are some of the things that make the costs go up. and so there is modernizing an elevator without displacing the tenants. the elevator, as it stands today, is not just a one-inch difference. it's five or six inches. it jolts every time you go down the thing. imagine if you were dependent on this elevator to get to your home. so, i just -- i will leave nit your hands. because, you know, you're the final arbiter of whether an order gets put on this. this is one of the few ways we have to hold the owner accountability. and there are people watching this broadcasts that will take a message away from your decision today. >> i'm not quite finished here. >> sure. >> ok. and i dully noted about pe

elevator. this sign was up all year. so this sign was currently up there even when we had the last hearing, and we're still having these problems. we don't always go deeply into this history of every case that comes before you. but since there were so many questions last time, we decided -- i had my staff look this up. it's hard to see because it's very small, but each line here represents a case at this building. it has a history of elevator cases. one, two, three, four, five, six, and they began 12 years ago. so this has been a chronicle issue in this building that we consistently have to go out on. it's building, hot water, a case in order to get them to comply. the elevator has been particularly chronic and a difficult issue. at the last hearing, the members of the board asked me to check with our code enforcement outreach groups. our group in the tenderloin has a clinic, did some outreach to the tenants who were concerned about the elevator issues. they will probably be speaking during public comment. we had a very

so modernizing means we're going to maintain certain elements of the elevator, for example, the elevator car. if that is retained, then everything around it needs to be replaced because it has wooden rails. the safety device on the elevator has shark teeth on it that wears into the wood severely. those rails cannot be retained. the only thing that would remain is the elevator car. so we're talking about replacement versus modernization, about 80 -- 20% difference. the elevator car is the only thing that would be retained. the rest would have to be replaced in either case. once you replace the main brain, it opens up the requirement for new code, fire light safety, fixtures, all kinds of things. so the modernization is 80% of the replacement. the replacement could entail ada compliant wheelchair to make a full circle, which is 5-foot circle in the elevator, which this does not have and that would require a larger shaft. that's the difference between the two. >> just a follow-up, i'm looking at your letter, the letter from the building manager, owner, you talk about getting possible exempt

the jostling of the elevator, the non-functioning of the elevator, the huge gap. it's a gap and it's also not leveling. there are kind of what we do to assess the building and see who's living in the building, there are individuals who are elderly, who have mobility issu issues, who are a little bit worried about dropping items in the gap. one tenant, in particular, i know mr. sirosh is aware, a tenant had dropped her keys inside this gap, and she had lost her keys in there. i believe it was the 23rd of august of this year that mr. sirosh, who was talking, they did have a meeting with the tenants in the building. what i was told by tenants is that that meeting included discussion about voting on what needed to happen to fix the elevator, how tenants would feel about being charged for the costs of the elevator. one of the tenants, in particular, she was like, well, if we have to pay for the cost of the elevator, maybe it's better if the elevator is not fixed. it kind of sounded like

two women on jeff flake's staff on that elevator with him. and most especially for the two women who were pleading with the united states senator to change his mind. they knew that he had already decided to vote for brett kavanaugh, but they did not give up. and in that moment they became the two most important lobbyists in washington today. maria gallagher and ana maria archilla put their bodies in front of the moving train that was the kavanaugh nomination this morning, and the miracle happened. the train stopped. jeff flake took his seat in the hearing room and we now know that he did something that senators in the middle of a partisan battle almost never do. you could work for years and years in the united states senate and never see this happen, but we saw jeff flake do it this morning. he listened. you never know when a senator is really listening because they're almost always pretending to listen. we didn't know jeff flake was really listening in that elevator, but the women looking into his eyes knew. and we didn't know jeff flake was

the test revealed elevated levels of lead in the water pipes. alyana gomez first reported on this a year ago and gives us an update on changes put in place. >> reporter: a lot of uncertainty last year surrounding faucets, fountains, and other fixtures at oakland schools. after nearly 50 schools tested positive for elevated lead levels according to the district water quality report. this your fears of exposure have been called with medication. >> water is a for the kids to drink. >> reporter: a spokesman says all of the water sources that were taken out of service have since been repaired. >> the fortunate thing is that in every case we have dealt with we found elevated lead levels coming from the fixtures. not in the piping system of the schools and significantly cheaper to fix. >> reporter: $2 million allocated for lead remediation. so far they have only spent a couple hundred thousand dollars. we are also learning money from the city's soda tax has helped. those tax dollars put to good use with the purchase of these hydration stations installe

the ice minus the changes at an elevation of four thousand eight hundred metres. by inches on has been excavated nice here for fifty five years and. then you're done when i was fifteen i started working with my father my mother and siblings there you know about that sometimes people needed so much ice that we had to make two trips. we put the exact truck. and then taken to a dealer. and the dealer would sell it from house to house so the people could keep their food cold. well let me also sold ice to the fish sellers at the local market and all i would make of their. buttons are cut sea ice into chunks that way about fifty kilograms each it's hard work especially at this altitude and. then he wraps the chunks in grass to keep the ice cold. he ties a rope around a bale of ice and then loads it on to his donkey. now they'll head back down the mountain. chimborazo is the highest mountain in ecuador at almost six thousand three hundred meters. it's known late in the day. as are his return to re obama will be. back up there a good bit of role in what he sells he's big

skies,ff has very dark and was at a higher elevation, 7008. the higher elevation -- 7000 feet. the higher the elevation, the less air you have to look through. the air is like a swimming pool. everything is kind of fuzzy because the water is bending that light -- air does the same thing. so the more air you look through the more distorted stars are going to look through. igher are h elevations, the dark side, great location. up on mars hill, where lowell observatory is located, you see the dome of the telescope standing 40 feet tall, like a birthday cake -- 400 feet tall, like a birthday cake on the hill. in 1894,d to set up and had this telescope built, a 24 inch diameter, 32 foot refracting telescope. that means it uses lenses instead of mirrors to collect the light. he built this in 1896 and it was used in mexico for about one year, then brought back here in 1897 and has been here ever since. this is really a classic instrument, classic part of scientific history, american andory, cultural history, the first evidence of the expanding nature of the universe was collected usin

the problem is, we're not allowed to put a vestibule to protect the elevator because you have an elevator opening up on seventh, eighth, 10th story of a building, wind whipping in and water and debris gets in the elevator shaft. one of the things that's in section 260 is, a, mechanical equipment pertinent to the building, that can go above the height limit. on a number of projects that i'm doing, the planner says, no, th vestibule -- you can not have the vestibule, because it's not included in the text of 260. what i found and we talked to a number of architects. one told me that they couldn't get a warranty on their elevator, because there wasn't protection. i know a lot of people have concerns about these additional spaces on the roof because maybe they will become a sun room or something on the roof, but i think it could be fairly simple to add into the code that this is not only allowed that it would have to be a minimum, maybe 50 square feet, something like that, so it can meet a.d.a. requirements for getting in and out of the elevator and on to the roof deck. and there is a subsecti

that's the regulatory body for elevators in california. here's a copy of the permit for this elevator. it shows that it expired in january of 2016. almost three years ago. >> november, i think. >> november, yeah. you are right. thank you. and then the next -- what happens then is cal osha sends a letter to the owner. it says the application is being proce processed. it says the expired permit is considered valid by the state until an inspector can be dispatched to the inspection that's currently due. >> and is that the letter for this particular elevator or is it standard? >> it looks standard. >> so we assume they have complied? >> they said they complied. it shows you cal osha, even though it's been two years with an expired permit, and they're still not looking at this elevator yet. also at the last hearing, people were talking a little bit about signage, about how many people were going to be on the elevator, which could create problems in levelling the elevator. this sign was up all year. so this sign was currently up there even when

saw him headed toward the elevator. everyone was in hot pursuit and he was just at the elevator, he was inside, and it was annamaria who literally and figure arrively put her foot down and the doors opened. and the confrontation began. we initially wanted to ask him to explain himself, but it was very clear that what was unfolding before our eyes was so much more impactful to have these two survivors of sexual assault confronting him and having him be in that small crowded space filled with unbrilgtsed emotion to explain himself and to answer to these two women. >> and as a journalist, your instinct would be that you want to ask questions, you want to help compel him to answer or give some sort of explanation about what he was thinking and feeling. but he of you also had an sting -hf -- instinct to say let's let play out. >> part of our job is to listen and pay attention and i knew that there was nothing that i could possibly say or ask that was more important or impactful than what we were actually seeing. and this was

it wasn't just that elevator.en's voices broke the power of donald trump to control this process, and i think that power is only going to grow. >> senator, do you agree with van's kind of assessment that it's the power of women on this? >> i don't think any question that dr. ford gave very compelling testimony, that, you know, raised a lot of concerns in people. obviously senator collins, senator murkowski, but i think others. i actually think this has actually worked out very well for republicans. i know that people say, oh, mcconnell is upset and -- i can tell you, as someone who sat in that caucus and was a solid -- would have been a solid vote for judge kavanaugh, i actually feel pretty good that we're doing this investigation because i think it just serves judge kavanaugh better. i mean, to have this cloud of looking like his nomination got pushed through by a bunch of folks who at least it's been alleged don't want to hear the truth, i don't think that's true. i think the committee did actually have very goo

you spot him in the elevator.what's going through your mind as you're imploring him to open an investigation? >> i had just found out that jeff flake was getting ready to support the nomination of brett kavanaugh to the supreme court, and i was enraged and afraid and in pain for what that meant, the message that it sent to my children, to women and people who have been sharing their stories of surviving sexual violence, and i wanted him to hear that pain. >> ana, you're wearing a shirt that says be a hero and we know that senator flake had pretty much already made up his mind. what role do you think you played in getting him to change it? >> i think that that interaction that he had with maria and i in the elevator was significant, but it was only significant because thousands of people had shared their stories. >> ana, once this fbi investigation has concluded, will you accept the results however the senate votes on it even if that's in favor of kavanaugh? >> i think that brett kavanaugh has demonstrated that he

i think the moment in the elevator is something that likely stuck with him. i talked to him late last night as he was leaving the capitol after this. he looked visibly pained. i mean he was under so much pressure, i think he was being honest when he said that he didn't feel doubt or certainty. sometimes we miss in this process that frankly all the people who are trying to work up here, they're people too. yes, they are politicians, but they're also people. and we don't have the tape turned yet. but ben sasse just told my colleague leigh ann caldwell that part of why this worked out today is because it was senators in a room, not cameras. and quite frankly, flake relied on a long-time friendship he had with chris coons. there was a relationship of trust. >> right. >> and ari, that trust has been completely broken by the tribal nature of our politics. >> kasie hunt on the scene, and we'll come back to you as breaking news breaks. we have been reporting that flake initially had this statement this morning saying he was supporting kavanaugh that would appear to e

the ceo of -- elevator. thanks for your time.ask first of all how you are dealing with it right now, as a global exporter of elevators, which seems to be increasing by the day. >> good morning, thank you for having me. it is something which is hurting all industries that elevators are probably in a better situation to deal with that. elevators are in a very local business, so all these trade war's, it's not much affecting us. we produce in the u.s., locally we are on the ground with 200,000 people doing services and production so we have a natural hedge and from that point of view we are in a lucky situation. >> good morning. does consolidation within the industry -- does that play a role in shielding the sector from trade tensions? is there room for consolidation, for example, amongst the big four? >> that has been discussed a lot for a lot of reasons. from my point of view, i think it's a tricky question, in some countries they dominate the market and to see further hardlidation can be very as we see all the other examples wher

knowing your elevation is crucial. the storm surge numbers when we're saying the max we'll say this morning is 7 to 11 feet. from the computer models. we know that where the high tide line is supposed to be on the beach. and you add seven to 11 feet. and the winds and wave action. that's how you figure out who needs to evacuate. emergency managers have the maps and the elevations. that's how they have the zones of evacuation. >> this computer illustration some people will look and say that's worst case. that's not going to happen. can that will we really see something that bad? six or nine feet. you have floating cars. and people's first floor covered. >> it depends on how low the elevation is. eastern north carolina is relatively flat. houston and even some of the below sea level. new orleans. a lot of eastern north carolina has a little bit of elevation. i don't think we'll see nine feet of water up to a rooftop. we'll see the houses the building codes are strict. they get a hurricane once every four years. the roofs

senator in an elevator today. they stopped jeff flake and held that door open because he had just announced he was going to vote yes on judge kavanaugh. they didn't want that to happen until he had heard them out and looked into their eyes, and what they said in that elevator door appears to have led a u.s. senator to change his mind and force a delay and call in the fbi. their words have now reverberated around this country. >> what you are doing is allowing someone who actually violated a woman to sit in the supreme court. this is not tolerable. >> that's what you're telling all women in america, that they don't matter. they should just keep it to themselves because if they have told the truth you're just going to help that man to power anyway! that's what you're telling all of these women. that's what you're telling me right now. look at me when i'm talking to you. you're telling me that my assault doesn't matter, that what happened to me doesn't matter, and that you're going to let people who do these things i

the options we have the fall coming up and that sometimes elevates the options. i was looking out to october, the 230, 245 call spread you could spend 6.30 sell it for two bucks. net net you're spending 4:40 for $15 worth of exposure this way or that. if the stock sits about here or rises just a little bit into this announcement, some of that premium is likely to come out and that will mitigate the decay by fixing the short higher strike call. >> it's a tough one. it's a very known event. obviously investors have gotten used to the whole product cycle thing into september if you're buying at all-time highs into the september 12th, defining the risk makes sense. call spread $15 wide, you're basically risking one to make it two. okay risk reward i think it makes the sense as we get through next week in front of the call announcements. maybe you get a chance to buy this on a bit of a pull back what you're trying to do is define your risk i think there's a very strong potential that all of the news in the stock -- >> you could sell off on the news >> that was a very

the premium options a little bit and we have the fall coming up, that also sometimes elevates options premiums a little bit. i was looking to october, the 230, 245 call spread you can spend $6.40 and net-net you're spending about $4.40 for $15 worth of exposure this way or that. if the stock sits about here or rises just a little bit into this announcement, some of that premium is likely to come out and that will mitigate the decay by being a higher strike call. >> i think it's a tough one in front of this event. investors have gotten very used to this whole product cycle thing into september so if you'll be buying at all-time highs in september 12th, it makes sense this call spread which is $15 wide, trading at levels the stock has never been to before, you're basically risking one to maybe make two if the stock gets to $245 or higher. i think it makes sense as we get through next week in front of the product announcement maybe you get an opportunity to buy this thing a little bit of a pullback to kind of make a call spread what you're trying to do is define the risk to play the furt

just being dry, our fire danger is elevated. i want to show you why tomorrow a fire danger will be elevated. the key thing we're going to see happen is some hot, dry air in central california. it's actually going to move towards the bay area. over our mountains, our higher elevation and down through the valley. whether that air hits our higher elevation and goes to the ground level in the valley, an important thing happens. the air molecules, she get disturbs. they start moving around fast and creates friction. that heats up the air. that lowers our humidity and that is the number one reason why our fire danger is increasing. warm winds moving down our higher elevations. if you see anything suspicious, do report it. it's going to mean that winds of 1,000 feet and above would see the best chance of wind gusts, 20 to 40 miles per hour. for most of us, it's 10 to 25 at times. that humidity, 10% to 20%. with the dry air moving in and this red flag fire warning, it will mean mostly clear skies tomorrow. i don't think you will have an

that would be if the parcel's ground elevation is above the 100 year storm elevation. secondarily if there is a significant barrier to stormwater to prevent the flooding from entering the entire parcel. >> can that barrier be a temporary barrier? >> we center in that category retaining walls, concrete walls and senses. staff did have a lot of discussion about whether or not a fence, for example would be in the same category. the conclusion we came to was that if upon a site visit the staff determined that the fence was a barrier and was routing stormwater off of the site, that that would be grounds for taking it off. however, we also determined there would be a map updating process recognizing that in the future somebody co-opt to remove that fence. similarly, with our flow factor adjustment when the property owner gets the flow factor adjustment they don't keep it forever recognizing they may do something else. there are updates and this would follow that same process. we then determined how this process would work in terms of getting back to the customer. the first s

feet the higher elevation the less air and distortion because air is like a swimming pool. when you open your eyes everything is fuzzy because the water is spending the light and air does the same thing. the more air you look through the more distorted the stars. the higher you go you have dark skies and it is a great location pick drive around -- and when you drive around you see the telescope at 30 feet tall like a big birthday cake on top of the hill. he decided to set up here in 1894 and in 1896 the telescope with the 24 inch diameter 32 foot long refracting telescope. the lens is used instead of the mirror to collect the light. it was used in mexico for a year and brought back here in 1897 and has been here ever since. this is a classic instrument. the classic history of the first evidence of extending nature of the universe collected using instruments on the telescope. pluto was not discovered with the telescope but it was important in the search and study after the discovery. there has been a lot of great research with this. over the last several decades it is not us

the same senator cornered in an elevator hours earlier by emotional protesters demanding that he listen when women come forward with stories of sexual assault. all of this after a long day of heartbreaking testimony from christine blasey ford and brett kavanaugh vehemently denying the accusations. so where do things go from here? we know the fbi is focused on this week-long probe into the recent accusations and sources tell cnn three senate sources and a probe available to senators not to the public and then senators will move forward towards a yea or nay vote. president trump wavering in his support for the supreme court nominee. we'll hear from the president in a few hours when he holds a campaign rally in west virginia. check in with cnn ryan nobles at the white house. unclear, will the president actually talk about kavanaugh? this entire week. the process, et cetera, when stumping? >> reporter: definitely something to look for tonight, fred. the president has been uncharacteristically reserved. careful not to attack dr. christine blasey ford, the accuser of brett kavanaugh. remember

who was cornered in an elevator, hours earlier, by emotional protesters. >> look at me when i'm talking to you. you're telling me that my assault doesn't matter, that what happened to me doesn't matter, and you're going to let people who do these things into power. that's what you're telling me. when you vote for him. >> they were more than emotional. they were demanding and they were informative. after hours of heartbreaking testimony on thursday, senators like flake could no longer ignore the deep divide hanging over kavanaugh's confirmation. >> did the protesters that you encountered play a role at all? >> i think everything that i've seen and viewed and experienced in the last couple of weeks has had an impact. but it's been everything. just seeing yesterday, today, just the, you know, this is ripping the country apart and calls i've been getting, e-mails, attacks, it's just, you know, it's been rough to see and we haven't had a process we can be proud of and we can do it better. >> all right, so now what, where do we go from here? cnn's supreme court reporter ariane devogue joins m

once they see all that, the senate will vote to elevate judge kavanaugh to justice kavanaugh and elevateie: why didn't the president make that decision earlier before he was pushed into a corner by flake and company. corey: the testimony that took place on behalf of dr. ford and judge kavanaugh, i don't know what information the fbi thinks they are going to obtain or what the democratic senators think the fbi's 302s will give them. but they will have no excuses after the fbi gives them the information unless they want to play partisan politics which this has evolved into. howie: at his news conference the other day the president was asked personal questions from cnn and cbs about his own experiences in this area. let me play a sound bite. >> how did those impact your opinions on the allegations. president trump: it does impact my opinion. i have had a lot of false charges made against me. so you say does it affect me in terms of my thinking with respect to judge kavanaugh, absolutely. because i have had it's times. howie: i thought that was a pretty candid answer on the president's part.

we saw him running to the elevator and we ran behind him.ing to talk to him. i was not really prepared, even for my own emotions, but i felt like he really needed to hear. like he needed to understand that women feel incredibly enraged about the thought of our stories, of our experiences of surviving sexual violence being dismissed, laughed at, disbelieved. and i think i just felt a great sense of urgency. i saw in his face he could not escape the emotion. >> you felt he was listening to you. did you feel he wanted to have the doors close, wanted to stay longer? >> he wanted those elevator doors to close and that conversation to end. and i wanted of him to really stay there and be present and think of the people he loves, think of his children. i wanted him to be a hero. >> wow. that was a pivotal point, largely because of her. >>> still ahead, mark judge, the man christine blasey ford says was at the party when she was allegedly assaulted says he will cooperate with the fbi investigation. this after democratic senators spent the week questi
