this is also along ethnic, racial lines. but there is also the question given the complexity of this relationship between liturgy and popular religiosity a question of what it means to talk about or do we talk about two churches in which there is a different understanding of the place and role of popular piety vis a vis the liturgy, and what happens if that gap gets too great between these two churches. [applause] >> i want to say thank you again for the opportunity to be here. i want to touch on four points. the first is about what he just said and the earlier panel that had a lot of the things we want to talk about here. one is new immigrants. secondly, the challenges they faced. third, the church response to their presence. what does this mean for the church? i'm going to play prophet here making predictions on what that means. most of the new immigrants here are basically non-european. most of the new catholics we have our non-european. they do not live in catholic clusters such as he just explained about a church that s

we don't ask ethnicity, there is a lot of requestes we absolutely do not ask. so that is the information we have guest cards when they come in. we ask when they heard of us as a broker and those are the slots that we ask questions. the only people that get that information as far as more specific is the lenders themselves and that information is not shared with us. >> so you don't even ask if they are residents of bayview hunters point, you don't ask that information? >> no we don't. >> but you know they are san francisco resident? >> yes, we ask if they are moving out of the area if they are from san francisco. it's more very generalized to make sure that we are not looked at as we are discriminating in anyway as to who is buying. obviously we have restrictions. if they can qualify to buy we are thrilled to have them in our community. we are asking to not be perceives as anything that is personal and information that is private. >> you don't know for instance that the san francisco residents that are market rate buyers are coming from the mission? it's not a j

notably over issues of nationalism and ethnicity. this is one of the circumstances that was a fact or in the creation of so-called national parishes as a way of mediating the attentions of this ethnic and cultural conflict stop the national parish was a way to institutionally preserve the religious life of many of these as groups in terms of the old country and it was also an instrument to remedy any decline in the religious practices and fervor of immigrants. it kind of had the twofold purpose. national parishes that continued into the 20th century, as late as 1936, about 55% of catholics in chicago were worshiping at national parishes and 80% of the clergy had assignments in parishes that matched their own national background. the national parish was not just a late 19th century phenomenon. those are my three starter premises. with regard to specifics what were some of the things the church did with the predominately euro american population in the late 19th and early 20th century, for things merit attention. one is that obviously,

the political rift between the leadership immediately exploited ethnic divisions. president salva kiir is from the dinka community and former vice president riek machar, is a nuer. betim madol says dinka forces loyal to the president went door to door, asking questions in their native language to test people's ethnicity. >> what they do, they just talk to you, using the dinka language. you don't respond they just take a pistol, tuff. i feel like i'm already dead, a living dead. i'm alive but anytime i'm seeing that i can die. reprisal killings spread north to the town of bor. ethnic nuer, angered by news of targeted attacks in juba, went on their own rampage. and then it didn't stop. the army had split in two and gone to war with itself. both sides carried out massacres, town by town. the images that emerged from the city of bor, then bentiu, then malakal shocked the world. for the advocates in washington - who'd fought so hard to win southerners freedom from sudan - this was not the way it was supposed to go. back in 2005, international efforts finally paid off, a

there are hundreds of ethnic minorities in burma, some in conflict with the government for years.separatists are increasingly under attack by the burmese army, and they are driving minor dis out of some -- minorities out of some reasons, forcing many from their homes. it's a conflict that outside the region attracts little attention. a small band of volunteers risked death daily to document the brutality of the government's continuing wars against ethnic minorities. they call themselves the free burma rangers. >> let's look at the picture on 19 january. >> reporter: this is a devote christian in a buddhist count riff. he's been a -- country. he's been a ranger for nearly 15 years. >> reporter: even armed with faith he struggles not to hate the burmese army. >> reporter: the free burma ranges were originally founded by an american missionary. they are members of buddhists, christians, muslims, an army of accountability seeking to regard human rights violation by the national army. 28-year-old camera man ted is angry over the government suppression of his native aracon state. >> rep

that shows the ethnic breakdown. these are the breakdowns of the awarded contracts. i won't go through each of the percentages but it's provided for your review. 52 percent for small businesses. the largest component of ethnic make-up is the non-minority small businesses followed by asian american pacifics. after that, african americans, others and latinos. i also prepared a similar chart for a construction and supplies and that's reflected here on an aggregate bases begin -- again and we were fortunate. an ethnic breakdown for your review. the largest component non-minority business followed by asian and african american and asians and latinos. finally in terms of looking at an aggregate basis, these are the ethnic breakdowns and also the female and woman business breakdowns for all professional and construction services. so on an aggregate bases it's 62 percent to small businesses. what's shown on the right side of the columns are the minority statuses along with the minority female and then female business. and ag

[inaudible] could give a comment about that >> sure. [inaudible] the office advised the board a cual years ago about various law suits involving the hotel tax. the specific answer for arts funding is the hotel tax isn't specifically allocated for arts funding. that funding comes from the general fund and as howard mentioned the amount of the fundsing is a discretionary decision for the board and mayor. it is based on a large number of factors including the amount of revenue coming into the general fund >> thank you mr. wong >> thank you for having me. good afternoon supervisors and chairman. my name is con wong

that implies wanting to kill a group of people, and ethnic group or religious group -- an ethnic group or religious group for who they are. it is a very strong violation of international law. brent: no one is saying germany is leading the way with this decision. france has done this. the european parliament, the pope. michaela: absolutely. germany was not leading the way on this. more than two dozen countries who came first. this can be criticized, but, of course, there is a large turkish community here in germany, so it seems that berlin took care not to offend them and not to offend that important partner in turkey as well. brent: it is easy to see how sensitivities can change, even if it does take a decade. michaela, thank you very much. michaela: you're welcome. brent: the number of environmental activists killed for taking a stand is on the rise worldwide according to a new report by global witness. matt: that group says 116 green activists were killed in 2014. that comes during the awarding of the goldman environmental prize, which honors wrasse roots activists -- honors grassroo

this change in the racial and ethnic profile has happened as people of color have begun to make up a majority of more recently diagnosed cases. differences in the ethnic and gender composition of the population, 50 and older and below 50, may have implications for the design of outreach and service delivery as the population continues to age and people with private insurance, private disability insurance, who have not used public services in the past turn to ryan white and other city services for the first time when their disability insurance expires. this is another way of looking at the changing racial and ethnic profile of people with hiv, showing the concentration of whites, mostly men, mostly gay men, among older people living with hiv in blue, and the large proportion of people of color among younger people with hiv. again, white men have been the largest proportion in san francisco since the onset of the epidemic. they reflect an even larger number of people reflecting the large proportion of white men in the early stages of diagnosis. there are also differences in the demogra

the official cease-fire on tuesday -- some other ethnic groups were not part of the agreement. whether the president achieved the mission -- >> thailand's interim prime minister is seeking to end ten months of marshall law. people in the country have been living with restrictions since the military to control in a cue. he says he's asked for permission. and he says he'll issue new orders based on the interim constitution to maintain security. military leaders imposed marshall law last may, and suspended thailand's constitution. they say they would allow them to establish stability and security. under the law, all political gatherings of more than 5 people have been banned. thousands of anti-government protesters took to the streets in november 2013. they demanded the resignation of then prime minister. and their demonstrations continued even after her fall from power. some people say marshall law is affecting the country's economy, particularly where tourism is investments are concerned. under the new orders the military officials will be able to detain demonstrators without ch

the major ethnic group in afghanistan. you can see the ragtag quality of this, in particular, this captured russian. yet obviously gotten -- this is a three-hour drive from the pakistan border. he been mined in this image -- and i kind of knew it -- bin laden in particular was about two miles away. they were also at the airport which was the front line. the battle killed 8000. it was a slap in the face to pakistan as well as the cia. that would not stop them though. this is what carpet bombing looks like. these are refugees fleeing the same battle along the same road. a series of explosions along the line. they were using this highway as a marker. luckily, i had my feet in that great mountain stream and i was caught unaware. that is as close to carpet bombing you want to get. these became available for journalists in 1988. that was a new chapter in coverage. we had official access to the city, which had been cut off prior to this. we had to go in over the mountains but now we could go into the city and document. this was i

so sorry about that i forgot to mention the other group the other group the inclination of ethnicities uniform talking about light blue bar it is hard to get meaningful data by commissioner vice president mar the other ethnicities. >> so i don't understand how it would be true if look at the pie chart the whole other is much fewer than either the latino or the chinese and on this it look much bigger am and reading that wrong. >> i'm sorry if you go back to the that they chart a small table about 20 percent basically, the other groups of english learners that's from the other ethnicity groups and the following ones are like kind of a follow-up so is it so pretty clear i only picked on the chinese students and breakdown them into english and chinese learners. >> that's not my question if everybody that is not inclines or latino ♪ group is 20 percent why is this bigger than peep he this and that >> accident blue bars under the other sections are the majority of group will be caucasian english speakers and the african-american speakers english proficient speakers that's why i say it is a l

in the last 5 years you see we breakdown them into 14 ethnicity and they've declined to stay for ethnicity groups but at the pie chart the two bring out group of english learners are the i'm sorry the latino group and the chinese group both combine about 89 percent of inspire english population and the entire pie represents about 28 percent of our student population but if you counted for those people that want to be in clarified as english proficient that's over 50 percent of the student population they're talking about but we are going to focus on this group okay so imelda the chinese and the latino group so the next slide will try to show you the breakdown of the two main chinese and latino group all-state populations to the loose 5 years from year 2010 to 2014 so let's look at the chinese group first, the entire body present entire student population for the chinese yaefrn and if you look at the top actually it is kind of like doctors so that means actually, the numbers are english chinese students are dr requesters over the years if you look at the utilizing groups they're actually in

you also identified the residents, the percentage of san francisco residents by ethnic group. do you remember that report? i will send it to you. >> i'm sure i have it. i think it was at the very first presentation. >> yes. >> i certainly can provide that. >> yes, i believe it also has it by zip code and it was very interesting to see where the local workers were coming from, the zip code areas of the city and basically the jobs, who was hiring them essentially. >> correct. >> so i have that on my notes and will provide that going forward. >> i'm glad to hear the electricians union are doing more work in their apprenticeship entry requirement. that's great. yeah. those are basically my overall, i think it's a great report, thank you. the only other thing, i have it in my notes. i don't have any complaints that people aren't getting paid. i'm assuming people are getting paid. >> every now and then. >> even though we don't hear. >> every

is it really an ethnic conflict?re is a dimension, but it's mostly a political confrontation. >> we hear reports of some radio stations actually stoking ethnic tensions. there is a cause for concern, isn't there? >> absolutely. absolutely. i think you cannot forget the legacy of ethnic violence that burundi has had to come out of in the past decade. and i find this very unfortunately, because what you had in burundi was a country that unlike -- unlike rwanda where it's now forbidden to talk about ethnicity, they are trying to put all ethmoiditis behind them, in burundi to be able to confident in power-sharing agreements that gives protections to minorities and this in the past -- for probably 48 to 72 hours, what you have had from those radio stations we need to remember that proopposition radio stations have been shut down but the pro-government radio stations are fuelling elements that have been left behind in burundi. so i think it's quite unfortunate that there is this shift. >> the -- the opposition doesn't show

we have a representative from district 10, 8, 1 and 4, so it looks like it's a pretty ethnically diverse committee t reason why i raise this, there's two things that i'm always concerned of, the generalized parity that exists on every board and commission in san francisco as well as the ethnic make-up so it seems to be really balanced in that respect. i wanted to also ask you about the work that yu eve done on low-income communities, particularly in district 10. >> the *f via the committee? >> yes. >> actually, district 10, particularly because of the emphasis on the hope sf program has been a key priority for the committee and, again, i was just reminded that these decisions about how to prioritize use of funds are made by the mayor's office and by staff so we're kind of a feedback to that process, but i think geographically, there's been a strong emphasis on district 10 primarily because of the hope sf program, trying to support and the overall envisioning program that's happening as well as the third street corridor work, those are the things that come to my mind as the primary things

an the rwandan genocide killed 800,000 people most of them ethnic tutsi. >>> the u.n.definition of genocide does not include massacres of political groups that means tens of millions of people killed in russia and china during the 20th century are not officially considered victims of genocide. >>> a turkish american writer joins us from washington d.c elmira, good to have you with us. nearly a million have been prosecuted for claiming there was an armenian genocide. why is this such a sensitive topic 100 years since the events began? >> on this day the turkish government continues to deny the atrocities that happened in 1915. a lot of people in turkey who wants to come to terms with the events that happened in 1915 are being pushed aside. i think a lot of people in turkey are at a point where they would like to sit down and have a rational open discussion with armenians and start the reconciliation process. >> what about president erdogan? i know he has gone further than any other leader of turkey and he offered condolences to armenians because of the events of 100 yea

talking to the clinics one the strategies for example is depending on the clinic the rational and ethnic groups may be different but they'll produce intents we have resources in terms of okay. they'll prioritize to get those up i forget which clinic has spatially speakers primarily the ones that are low they'll hire spanish interpreters we'll breakdown the metric in primary care and on the hospital side they're a pitch report has a section specifically around equity. >> thank you director do i have any further comments in regards to. >> no, i wanted to commend the presentation i think for a very complex information they've given us incredible information and will continue to work on that to bring back the dashboards i believe we have a session with commissioner pating and some of the data folks to look at other systems to do that so there are areas that are very interested to we'll report open that. >> so i think you've received quite a bit of feedback from the commission in terms of where we need to go in the next six months so as i said the commission asked for a six months piloted to

everyone here is part of the ethnic shan minority. most of them earn less than the legal minimum wage of around eight euros a day. but that's still more than what they would make at home. jai leng tells us that even though they live in this camp, they still worship buddha with this little altar, just like at home. jai leng is also from myanmar. he's lived in thailand with his family for 20 years. >> i'm happy when i don't think too much. but deep in my heart, i'm not happy. this is not my home. sometimes i wonder whether i'll live the rest of my life like this, or whether i'll go back. >> many here would like to return home. some feel that myanmar's migrant workers never quite settle in thailand. it's an existence on the fringes of society. those without official documentation are especially in danger of exploitation. but many feel they have no choice. >> in my heart i know it wasn't the right decision to come here. but if i think about the situation in our country, i know i have to stay. if the situation there changed, i would return
