had been shot in the head.this story, we now know, was true. >> our police, at that point, were completely focused on search and rescue. and here they were being shot at. and it made the mayor furious. and that's when he said, we need to declare martial law. >> the city they nicknamed the big easy, still a disaster zone, under martial law. >> tonight, in a rare move. practically unheard of in the united states-- martial law declared. >> would you request martial law? >> i've already called for martial law in the city of new orleans. >> narrator: in fact, martial law was never declared in new orleans. >> narrator: ray nagin declined to be interviewed for this program, but his deputy chief of police, warren riley, said there was confusion. >> i heard rumors that martial law was in place, and then i heard rumors that, no, it was not given. >> i never declared martial law. i know that it's not legal to do that. but what we were doing was strengthening the appearance of a lawful environment. that's when i called in

violation by the building department, the personal property was at that time are owned by and had already been removed by the buyer, not by the academy. the buyer had completed the removal which he had purchased when the work order was posted. the city code does not require a permit, and no violation of city code occurred. supervisor mirkarimi: i will as k you a question. pertinent to the threat of the discussion -- thread of tehe discussion, was there no communication to the community that this was going to occur? there were a lot of people surprised by this action. >> i would like to meet with them and meet with you. twice i came to see you and you did not answer me when i asked for an appointment. i don't think this is the place to be discussing a very personal and emotional issues. i welcome an opportunity to continue this discussion and collaboration on a personal level. supervisor mirkarimi: for the record, we had reached out a number of times. why wasn't there any communication to a community that had been demonstrating their support for decades in supporting the building in caretaking

coffee to drink, clean uniforms, hair had been cut, et cetera. the one thing they didn't say on camera was that they had not been allowed to talk to each other for the whole five and a half months. they had been separated. they were not allowed to communicate. they were paranoid the americans, you know, even from the moment of their capture, they made them strip down naked. they were sure there was bugged in the clothing that the government was following them. and so they were paranoid if the men to talk to each other, they would surely, you know, find a way to alert the military or escape or something. and so we found out that they were not allowed to talk to each other at all. and they also had no radio communication, which was frequently something that the hostages were allowed to have. there were radio programs in columbia where loved ones can go and leave messages for the host annals. that -- hostages. the farc had prepare the the area. later we learned in the american hostage book that they wrote when they came out, the conditions were reall

>> well, as i progressed in the service, i got desk jobs and i was not as active as i had been and i began to think about the assassination, what happened, what could i have done and it just srted to eat at me. by975, when i was retired, it really had gotten to me. and i was interviewed by "60 minutes"' mike wallace, and after that interview, it just seemed to deteriorate and i hid myself in my basement with a bottle and a carton of cigarettes for years. it wasn't until 1982 that a friend of mine, who is a doctor, it's either quit what you are doing or die. and so i quit drinking, i quit smoking and thank god, i just got progressively better ever since that time. >> what impact did it have on your married life and your family? >> well, my kids had suffered a great deal because of the fact that i was gone almost 80% of the time during the time i was in the secret service so they grew up almost without a father but today, we are very close today. but my wife was very supportive throughout that time and kept on just hanging in there with me. >> but you know, after that assassination, you

they came to the site, a complaint had been filed, and then issue of notice of violation had been providede issues a work order. on july 2, we were concerned how the building was left vulnerable. and to people that did not belong at that building. the fire department reports back that it was broken into, the gate standing open. and the department had to secure. my office informs the planning department of the status of the building. so we are concerned that this is a building that was much loved, standing well over a century that i think should be landmarked but never was. it is certainly eligible. declared by our own department that this is a building of historical significance. nothing is stopping the church at all from eviscerating this building. it is part of the natural tension that is beginning to crop up because there are economic concerns of the church themselves and their relationship they have established over so many decades to be changing over night. the purpose of this resolution is to give voice to a community here. we are here to listen to the planning department and the dep

a legend was created about the dramatic genius of lincoln's killer, about how he had been the inheritorof his father's greatness and in generations of mythmaking about john wilkes booth, edwin's name in his dori have been lost, leaving his younger brother to standalone on the stage of national memory as he no doubt would've wished. thank you. [applause] and i hope you have lots of questions because i'd love to answer them. [inaudible] >> -- his brother cloud his judgment? >> what a great question. was john wilkes booth a true peach or peach or it's of the south or did his rivalry with his brother cloud his judgment online? i think he was a zealous confederate. i have no doubt about it. everything he ever wrote is filled with that conviction. but i think what happened was there was a parallel for the metaphorical between the imbalance, between the power difference between his brother and themselves they seem to mirror the face of the north and south during the war. they were both unequal contest. and certainly john wilkes, there's no question in my mind, was a true confederate. but i thi

they had been released from the hospital with minor cuts. 130 of the post office's trucks were damaged. >> looks like somebody had taken a shotgun or a high powered rifle and went at it. >>> off the shopping center, this was also hit very, very hard. the air-conditioning unit, that was ripped off the roof. there were light posts that were toppled down, crews trying to provide place to get put back together again. i'm lindsey mathis, 9 news now. >>> a philadelphia man says he did threaten to kill virginia congressman eric canter in a youtube video. he pled guilty yesterday in federal court. prosecutors say he called canter a liar and lucifer in the video, and then vowed to shoot the congressman. laboon faces up to 15 years in prison. . >>> an arms dealer pled not guilty to terrorism charges, including allegations that he conspired to kill americans. a military officer named victor boot. the u.s. prosecutors nicknamed him the merchant of death. they say boot had sold weapons to dictators and war lords around the world, including the taliban. >> victor booth had access and influence, and

had more choices than charles. he and kate have lived together and their relationship has been allowed to develop. >> what is so good about this you need is that the young couples have had time to get to know each other in a column and measured way. they know each other very well and have behaved impeccably throughout. you cannot find a single [unintelligible] from our parents or friend which is in any way disparaging to her or the royal family. not a single alarm bell rings in my head about this engagement. >> kate middleton has entered the full force of the opera to. william watch his mother face the same pressure and watched his parents' marriage collapsed. he is aware of the need to protect his new wife. the couple will now move center stage and kate will become one of the most famous and photographed women in the world. >> briefly, because big fat weddings and a fancy gems are the order of the day, how about this rare pink diamond that sold for almost $46 million. it is the highest price ever paid for a stone at auction. it nearly doubled the previous record. it is a rectangular diamond that weighs more than 24

it had been on the radar as being eligible has an individual landmark. we had been working with dbi

had no verification been made, this would have been done based upon the note. this was a discrepancy and somehow the note changed. we do know that this was in the applicant's possession the entire time. >> yes. it is unusual to have a post it? >> yes, that was my mistake because it was a very busy day. there was a discussion. i voted on a piece of paper and i handed it to them. >> is there a middle ground. >> we don't want to set a precedent. a public works permit, the public works permit. >> understood. -- the public works permit. >> how much time is left on a permit that would be a former permit? >> this would be a four month permit. >> this ends on december 3rd. we were originally issued on december 3rd and then we removed the permit on the shift and did not put them back up. the 24th when we received a notice from your office stating that the revocation was suspended. according to what was issued, this is only good until december 3rd. this is 19 days. >> you are using this as the you have a permit. >> they don't want to establish for the future. the whole s

the board had already been considering three of his top turtles to replace him. two of them had strikes against them. bob dudley, then head of a big bp venture in russia, was viewed as an outsider. >> he is the only guy who was actually a possible candidate to succeed john browne who had run a company, but he came from amoco. he's an american. >> narrator: and then there was john manzoni, who had been groomed to take over, but he was marked by the accident at texas city. that left tony hayward, an engineer who had headed oil exploration worldwide. he took over in 2007. >> tony hayward was well regarded-- bp guy, engineer, extremely capable, an oilman through and through, and someone to consider a very worthy successor for john. >> i guess i should start by saying this has been one hell of a year. i mean, it really has. it started with a tsunami. it continued with texas city... >> narrator: when hayward took over, he spoke candidly about bp's problems. >> we then nearly sunk our flagship project in the deepwater gulf of mexico. and i think the only good thing i wou

the fees that had been associated are all investigation fees that had been assessed to code enforcement and our department. that is all we are trying to recuperate. >> the only comment i would not to make is when those notices of violation were posted, mr. jacobson tried to solve the problem. he believed, based on his experience with the property, that that was not the problem for the back up. it was not until this year at the hearing happened. it just seems to me, at the end of the day, the goal is to solve a problem. by the way, i want to point out, the statement made earlier that there was no house trap. the notice said that there was a defective house trap. it was replaced without a permit with a two way cleanout. that is not appropriate. at the time the notice of was put out, whatever house trap had been in there was there. mr. jacobson had not done any work on the property. i just want to make sure that there is no misconception of that statement. >> thank you. commissioners? >> i would like to make a motion, take staff's recommendation to uphold the order of abatement, hold asses

the one competitive seat had been formerly held -- or had been held by a republican, and that was the 12th senate district in the central valley. the incumbent is off to congress and the race to replace him was between two candidates. that didn't change the proportions in the caucus. there will be two special elections. in the 28th district we had the sad passage of the incumbent, vacating the seat a couple of days before the election. nevertheless, the electorate elected to fill the seat. it will now go into special election. in the first senate district, roger neli, a sitting assembly republican squared off against ted gaines in the primary. gaines is now going to go against democratic rancho cordova kell cooley. he is a very experienced sacramento hand if he is able to pull off. supervisor mar: supervisor maxwell has a well. supervisor maxwell: can you say the independent in central valley went back to being a democrat? >> no, the seat went back to democrat. it had been a democrat seat and a democrat prevailed. that keeps the numbers at 52. in the senate, once the two seats settle

the land had been ruinned by a variety of things. this is one of the posters and these are archival photographs. this shows the ccc boys. many of them had been riding the rails. they were starving. they were illiterate. here they are in one of the camps, which were run by the army and it was like a military organization. they were out in the wilderness. you could leave if you wanted to. this was a civilian conservation core. this is not trickle down next. in fact, it worked. it began to float local economies. they did an enormous amount of work. they wanted millions of trees. i looked over into alabama across a great forest of trees that were 70 years old. they're planted in huge numbers. imagine the kind of wildlife that becomes. they did an enormous amount of work and when the war was here, there was ready to go fight. this was not what this was intended to do. there are a few statues. they built a lot of lodges and visitor centers. these are just beautiful. amount of landscapes of ccc. this is the park. they did the work in them.

of recounts were not found but they were counted. >> was there any provision so that every count had been passed the term coleman had it gone into january what would have happened, could pawlenty have appointed somebody? >> it did happen. on the day that they counted the first round of absentee ballots on january 3rd, norm coleman's term expired, and then our seat was vacant and there are some states in which you could have attempted to be seated and the senate seats senators so mark alias attempted to get al franken and its possible is supreme court somewhere could have said yes he can be seated and we will let the u.s. senate them. the supreme court didn't allow that. the lead to many weeks to say no to that so we didn't have a senator from january 3rd until july 7th. >> the governor can appoint somebody. >> not under those circumstances. >> this leads to the question whether we should have some sort of professional seeding here in minnesota. in louisianan they did and the costa major controversy with mary landrieu eight or ten years ago as i recall, and that -- i believe we could. i th

and i looked at the racial slurs, the uncle tom, the sellout, all the terrible pejoratives that he had been given, and i had told him even then when i was fairly young on capitol hill of some of the phone calls i'd received and some of the threatening mail i'd received while on capitol hill. and he had given me the inspiration to say, those are people who are threatened and scared, and you just keep going and don't pay them any mind. and that was a great source of energy for me. >> host: do you feel that his black detractors are threatened by him? >> guest: of course they are. >> host: why? >> guest: well, i look at one specific example that i cite in the book by a congressman from new york state. and with the passage of thurgood marshall, he had called on president bush to appoint another african-american to the black seat. and i thought, well, that's an interesting thing that we have black and white seats, but i'll let that go. and when president george h.w. bush had nominated then-judge thomas, his tone entirely changed, major owens' did, and essentially accused justice thomas of being a

i had been with the most hateful person. i had marched and marched. i spent 6082 days in solitary confinement, and then, and then make confessions, but would be used against me in my six minutes trial in court. make no mistake, please, this system of torture continues today. since the electoral call of 2009, torture in iran has occurred in new fads which i call mock torture. the rape of women and even of men has been added to the earlier tech technical of routine unhuman torture practices. when at last i was released from prison after six years, i didn't know that my torture had been revolted with the position of the minister of the islamic regime. i noticed that iran had been turned into a huge prison. also, i had been released from prison. security agents reteenly summoned me and my wife and subjected us to questioning over the most private aspect of our lives. i always thought if george had been alive, he would have revised this and would have written a new book called the republic of most. i suspect this is the first time in the history that most

that had been installed for over 130 years. it is not only an architectural element, you can see it from the exterior of the building. it is as much part of the building as the bricks that billed itself. -- build it itself. the father's actions make our regulations moot. if city hall allows this to happen, it will be setting a precedent. it was going to be moved in its entirety to florida, but now the city council members have wisely stated that they do not want city treasurer's paid for by city residents to be pawned off elsewhere. [chime] this treasure is gorgeous. i encourage everyone to go see it. supervisor mirkarimi: who is next? next speaker, please. >> good afternoon, supervisors. i live just a couple of blocks away. i am deflated to hear that it might not be eligible for landmark status because of the removal of the artwork that as part of the fabric of san francisco. although the rose windows were installed in 1909, they were dedicated in 1910. there were two donors. they still reside in san francisco. i could not bel

it's hard to imagine what culture would have been like had there been no motown and when it comes to jazz. jazz wouldn't exist as we know it. miles davis parents migrated from arkansas to illinois. he would never have had the opportunity to spend hours upon hours that would have been necessary to hone his genius and become the mug he was had his parents had not migrated outlet of the cotton country of arkansas. theonus monk, his parents migrated from north carolina to harlem where he had the opportunity, the luxury -- this never would have been possible in the tobacco country in north carolina to spend hours upon hours to get music lessons. i mean, there would have been no time in the cotton country out in the farm land or a smalltown of north carolina. john coltrane, he migrated at 17 from north carolina to philadelphia where believe it or not, he got his first alto sax. where would jazz be if he had not migrated and part of the great migration and got the opportunity to go to the ornstein school of music in philadelphia. and to practice so much that he actually -- that people in his

he had been married for just 11 days. he and his wife nicole had thought they were expecting a child when they found out, to their dismay, that she was suffering from ovarian cancer. his parents were visiting them from michigan. >> my parents and nicole had gone to dinner, expecting me to join them shortly. >> when we were leaving to go to dinner, they asked him to come down and to help sort out some of the information to give them a few more answers. so we took separate cars, and he said that he would be joining us very shortly. "shortly" turned into two hours, and then three... and then 13 years. >> narrator: williams left the apartment and drove himself to the police station. >> i expected to just answer some questions-- why was i the one to call 911 and not her husband? it was a half hour to 45 minutes into the questioning is when they started accusing me of raping and killing michelle bosko. >> narrator: they wanted him to take a polygraph test. he agreed. >> they told me that i had failed the polygraph test, and that

there are, also a lot of local groups that we had been working with. nrdc had been particularly active after katrina and trying to bring our ocean policy and our health people together with the people who were down there as well as with the local groups who are down there. and our resource center's still quite active, and where i saw rocky, right there, who's spending a lot of time down there and others are down there quite often, really the important issue is both on the one hand to recognize that the spill has tremendous consequences. it has tremendous ecological consequences, many of them we don't know. i worked on what was the east coast's largest oil spill in 1990 when an exxon pipeline broke, and that was in new york harbor. and, you know, it takes a number of years before you really know what has happened. and that is, that was in a very studied ecom, and the value low water spill. we're going to have to keep pressure on, among others, bp, on the research, on the federal government to make sure how they do the damage assistment to make sure the

getting back to the person inside, he had been shot shortly will before a crash from the minivan. ital. people out here on the scene were saying that it didn't appear he had much can chance of making it. he is what they consider grave condition. he is the sixth shooting victim in the past three days here in oakland. three of the people shot have died and there is a chance certainly that this person will die, as well. terry mcsweeney, "abc 7 news." >> check other top stories this morning. classes will go on at your at claremont middle school but gym will be off-limits following an early morning fire. one firefighter on the scene said it may have been caused by an electrical problem. arson investigators have also been called to the scene. >> weather clearing up and also the time change. >> lows for this morning, check out napa, 38 degrees, a lot of 40 degree temperatures and you get to novato and san jose and antioch right around 50 degrees. seven-day forecast, low to mid 50s this afternoon. a little bit of rain tonight -- tomorrow night through wednesday. >> hour long delays on west
