historic nature of the building and that came up somewhat subsequent to the time we discussed the haines building at 120 embarcadero. we are looking for someone with a situation here and a lot of the integrity of the facade on the embarcadero side is no longer there because the windows have been removed. it's not the way it was. i think they are doing an excellent job of preserving the stuart street side outside of where the shootings occurred and where this began. this calls for a lot of plaques and mention within the building of an historical memorializing this building in the 1934 strikes. i think that there are a lot of factors here it would be eligible for article 10, i'm not really sure. as part of the idea that the whole area could be a historic district, i skwenly would -- generally would have to agree with staff that there are buildings that need to be replaced that there isn't enough history for historic building for historic events. the trees outside there seem to be unhealthy and block the sidewalks a little. they need to be paired down or removed and probably putting smaller trees ma

build support for that now. it does seem likely that the mird of david haines will prance aid him in that. the british people took to the streets in the hundred and thousand. there was huge popular on sigs to that. undoubtly, there would also be a similar expression. >> it's very late there, i'm not sure he's still awake at this hour, but walk us through the next few hours and days. tlm be a security meeting, i gather, in the morning. and how kickly will parliament meet to tuk about what the prime minister is going to ask for? >> this is happening at an extraordinary time. and, right now, there is a referendum in scotland on thursday that could see after 3 307 years, scottland break away. that is a huge issue. presents huge challenges for david cameron. opens a pandora's box for the rest of the country. no prime minister would want to have this happen under their watch. that is probably foremost on david cameron's immediate agenda. but, that said, he is having that security meeting a if you would hours from now, sound morning here. no doubt he will be making a statement following that. we

. >> he says david haine is a british hero, and his family should be proud of him and his humanitarian work. david cameron seems to be building a case here for british people to realize that something must be done. that britain needs to be involved. he said they cannot hide from this. he really seems to be framing an argument and a case that britain is going to have to be more involved. he has ruled out boots on the ground, but he still has a way open here to join the united states in air strikes in syria. he is not there yet. he doesn't have the political support, though i think we were hearing the leanings towards that in what he had to say about this brutal murder. >> he there issed there are 500 known citizens of the u.k., and there are other from surrounding countries. one of them possibly the man in the video. the executioner. are officials closer to identifying who he is? >> if they are, they aren't saying it. when i interviewed david cameron, i asked him that. he said we are getting information and sharing it with our allies, and he very clearly meant the united states. he didn't say what it's got. it would be -- you
