let me recap for a second, i said this was a second part of this important gao report. let me recap the first part, which came out last year. a little context to that. i met with top american media executives, i have come to believe the root cause of these problems is that latinos have not been given the opportunity to tell our stories or shape the way those stories are told. last year, i released the result of a report on latino representation in media from the gao. an independent, nonpartisan agency funded by the federal government. the report showed latinos are vastly underrepresented in the american media represented -- media industry. we make up 12% of the workforce, when we look more closely at the data and get a portrait of underrepresentation emergence. in the media industry service sector, custodians, food workers and others, 22% of staff are latino. at the top of the industry among managers and executives with the power to decide which projects move forward, 4% of workers are tino. latinos prop up media companies as moviegoers, streamers, gamers and more. we d

in the gao report there are despicablele reasons.hek lease is running out in two years it doesn't make sense to do upgrades. and then you can have a range to build on the prior it could be a facility that and then you could have a social security outpost and then in one facility. so the question is, to what extent and a recognize this is a gsa question but are there recommendations smaller agency and smaller footprint that these are not affordable or cost-effective upgrades given our circumstances are there ways they choose the location because it is less expensive to hire more secure facility with leasing on a square foot basis obviously is more of the advisory role of each individual recommendation that would be dependent on that agency but also making a cost benefit analysis with the individual leasing side does fps offer recommendations prior to gsa suggesting a lease location for agency? >> thank you ranking member. yes. absolutely for an agency decide they want to move to a new location in dallas, gsa will make contact and we w

second part what is for the district attorney because i know i did that a couple weeks ago at gao. i think i'm just constantly amazed at people disrespecting this body when we, when i say people, i mean those like kaiser or people that wouldn't want to answer tough questions and answer to their calls for responsibilities. when this board trying to make the process very transparent for a public hearing. i know that we have the power of subpoena. i think she knows where i'm heading because i asked to subpoena the navy last time and now of course i'm asking, thanks to supervisor peskin that we can do that at gao committee and here we are as a whole as a body. in the event that kaiser is in violation of s. b. 221, because they are not providing the service within two weeks of time with the mandate of the service, and especially in the case that we do find any violation, what can we do to really make sure that kaiser do show up in the event that we decide to continue this hearing so that we can have another opportunity. will there be a possibility for kaiser to show up if there is a nee

which will likely only increase us tri attentions by as for low, the sent over china and globalization gao believes washington's actions go against the concept of a free market economy. the united states pretend to be a champion of free trade and market economy. however, whatever they are doing is against free market. it's against the market economy. it's against fair development and fab business competition. in that sense, it is not only political, it is very vicious. and it puts the ology ahead of everything else. and what they are doing is what i call pony harding syndrome. if they cannot compete, we deal on an equal basis. for example, they want to do whatever they can to walk your kneecap. or example put you out of competition and i think this is exactly what will make the chinese companies more resilience because they have no other option. but to become more and more self reliant, the world will not indulge in the fantasies of the united states. the world will really look at the results and china stands for the future of the world economic development to off tomorrow. wow, larosa, th

that's course live out of victor gao, the vice president of the center for china and globalization, a very warm welcome to you. so thanks for coming on the program today. hi, how significant do you think are the changes in gigi, ping's inner circle, and the politburo? well, in the wake of the panties or the congress which successfully concluded on sunday, the 1st, the plenary session. all this nearly kings did central committee made decision to form the new bureau understanding committee on the 24 hours for the bureau and several members for the standing committee. now it is true that. busy the newly elected members on the spelling commit to the bureau, all had worked with cheating, being one time or another. so they know each other. and they actually, i believe each of them is fully qualified to serve on the highest body within the communist party of china. because they have many, many decades or years of experience that we had vacations in their own way. they were to take it from one probably is one section to another. and they all were formerly members of the bureau. so, so this is

pleased to join this month at the request of commissioner chan, the san francisco board of supervisors gao committee government audit and oversight committee held a hearing on the mta upfront program and dispatch pilot. the hearing did focus on the question of the third-party dispatch element in which taxis will be able to be held through the uber app and the questions related to potential impacts including data transparency and the prop d revenues we collect, the mitigation tax, that's assessed on each ride hill trip that originates within san francisco, whether these taxi trips would or would not be subject to that and the potential confusion or undermining of sf mta's taxi rate authority. ta, deputy director joe mentioned that there would be a real need to have data for evaluation of these questions as well as to assess the changes potentially in the number of taxi trips and benefits to riders as far as the level of taxi users and driver fare income which is the stated goals of the pilot program. ultimately, the committee voted to continue the resolution and we'll be happy to keep you p

so the gao shift was the basic undergarment. but it's loose at the bottom. so he could have pulled her skirts up and and had intercourse and he didn't have to take off much either. the so that tells you something that big cause. he took the gown off. it shows us that he had a particular sexual aim that involved being in a bad seeing her naked having her vulnerable or exposed in a particular way that tells about his his sexual aim in a way that of course like an idiot i hadn't thought before. and then she said of course the other the gown shows which is the reason it was brought up in court, was that a mark of violence, the fact that the gown was not just taken off but taken off and damaged and they produced the gown to show in court the damage she then repaired. the next morning, she sat that room the next morning, sewing the gown back together, which i think is such a haunting image. that shows that this a violent assault. and i've talked to to linda baumgarten about this. i talked to every other major expert. and it really american clothing i could get to

we will have a response at our next gao meeting at the hearing on thursday to talk about exactly what we want to do in response of that report but you can most certainly bet we will be pushing for more increased staff that are going to do more monitoring and provide a higher level of research for some of the issues that have been presented that we know exist on the shipyard. this is a space that my community is from. a lost both of my grandparents to cancer who lived adjacent to the shipyard so for me the most important thing is 100 percent clean ship yard. not looking a after lawsuits and not those concerned about the health of the community but 100 percent clean shipyard. >> thank you. brian. >> i think the big thing is talking about the clean shipyard report from the civil grand jury when they called out the mayor office and different city departments. the mayor office came back and said, we disagree on all most everything and basically said we are doing a very good job, you just haven't been paying close enough attention and i think what we can bring to the board of supervisors is
