this is a big accomplishment for the planning department and for the new director hillis. in order to keep the integrity of how we have the agenda set up right now, i'd ask the commissioners if they could field all their questions for the entirety of this topic now, and then later on, if need be, we can take on individual items. but as far as my thoughts, i think the e.i.r. is thorough and adequate. this is the part of town where we need height, market and vanness. adjoining with market octavia is a huge opportunity zone where we can go high. i don't think we should separate and take a look at all the individual buildings now. i think later on, even building will come to us, and we can address it then, but for now, i think we should -- i'm cleaning towards staff's recommendations in keeping all the buildings together. i do like the number of two and three-bedrooms i'm seeing in the proposed projects, and again, this is one of the most transit orients parts of town that we can have. it's ripe for development, and let me call on other commissioners. commissioner diamond? >>

recurrent opposition is encountered, particularly in the hilly regions, from snipers and small isolated placed in well concealed caves. these are reduced individually by explosives and small arms fire. this particular sniper's nest has already accounted for seven marine casualties during one day alone. ♪ ♪ in the hill country, a small patrol seeks contact with the enemy in advance of the main body. this dummy tank was successful long enough to draw our fire. captured airfields are bound to be supplied with dummy and obsolete planes, which served as decoy targets. one type of suicide plane is discovered intact. jet propelled and human-controlled, this craft is actually a piloted bomb. comparatively early in the operation, airfields north of the beach area are captured and put into quick repair. these fields make it possible to augment carrier based planes and those from other islands in support of the ground action. aside from tactical consideration is the strategic value of these runways in future operations, located only 350 miles from japan proper, 750 from tokyo. by now, it is appare

. >> president koppel: director hillis? >> director hillis: i just want to say thank you for all of your thoughtful comments but also thank you for recognizing staff. it's been a long road, as you know, to get here. not just the five years that we've talked about this project, but even the past 20 years before this -- talking about the balboa park better neighborhoods plan. obviously, it was done in collaboration with other city departments like oewd, supervisor yee's office, and supervisor yee had provided tremendous leadership. city college has also participated, and truly, the c.a.c. and the community have helped shape this project. and i think, commissioner diamond, you summed it up. the project does not have unanimous support, but it does have tremendous support, so we look forward to continuing that effort and look forward to working with them to build this project. >> clerk: commissioners, if there's nothing further, there is a motion that has been seconded to approve this project, and commissioner johnson, i would t

hilly, remote and the air is so crisp and fresh and the views... well, simply spectacular.cool climate that made the state of meghalaya and its capital shillong a popular retreat for the british during the colonial era. they dubbed it the scotland of the east. it is pretty crowded. but what about the city today? there is only one way to find out. we can get on. i took a bus into the city centre. it is a modern industrial town these days, shillong. bus engine grinds alarmingly i think those brakes may need some work. tell me, what do you think about shillong. this is your home city. what do you think? more than half of meghalaya's population belong to the khasi tribe. and here at shillong's british—built polo ground, a traditional local sport is thriving here. but it sure ain't polo. every afternoon, hundreds of people gather from all around to take part in a really interesting daily ritual. this is called teer, derivee from the hindi word for arrow. a target is mounted and 50 archers have a few minutes to hit it as many times as possible. the significance of the sport dates

the north of the country a co-operative is taking measures to reduce the effects of flooding in this hilly country. you know how all the families if they could team you co-operative distraught what looks like a lake is actually potato in cornfields everything's under water the harvest is lost and that shouldn't have happened measures had been taken to protect the valley against floods. first of all a project manager from the adaptation fund came to see us this and fog than other people came to prepare the construction we're going to get an idea of the terrain. so. once they were finished with their work we were finally able to plant up the whole of the valley with crops eating your muslin though they dug drainage ditches everywhere. then the project was over. but not long after they left we realized the problem still wasn't solved the water just came back. the adaptation fund is a united nations initiative that aims to help developing countries cope with climate change. has a high percentage of 1st salvo cannick soil and that means even the high mountain slopes can be used. the problem is

the story is a 1st of all built on sand and then next to it it's a very hilly area and that the rescreen landslides is massive we are also afraid that because of the router situation in the camp we have water stations at but they are fragile and if one of them breaks they are having the risk of getting consummated water which would further create risk for spread of deceases and it's also as we heard i mean young children 50 percent of the 1000000 people living in the camp are children so if they are outside i mean this is a huge waste that they could be flushed away by water or be hit by debris switch are flying through the wind so there is multiple shalen just for for the population does a bit more about the response so far in terms of coronavirus how how big is the outbreak than how well handled has it been i mean so far the number of these on shore is. hopefully it is not large right now but we are projecting that we might need over 10000 beds and. we are presently together with the u.n. at the united nations and our pierre are going to save them building up to 2000 isolation beds but

also good afternoon to general manager ginsburg and director hillis. i'm with the planning department staff. and i hope that each of you are safe and as sane as you can be during these times. and today i'm joined by my colleagues of the recreation and parks department to get together to present on the project related to shadow findings. and i'll lead off with an overview of the project and the actions for the commission, and then i'll hand it over to janice who will cover the shadow analysis findings. both of us are available to answer any questions during the commission deliberations as are the members of the private sponsored team, including technical facilities. just moments ago the planning commission adopted a sweep of amendments to the market and octavia area with the subarea, including to the planning code that do facilitate the project located at 30 van ness avenue. in addition the planning commission voted to certify the environmental approvement plan and to analyze the environmental impacts for the 30 van ness avenue project. commissioners, b

flooding due to torrential rain as well as much light because a lot of these are in the slope in the hilly areas and much light is on one of the biggest danger we also are the target evacuated at least a 100 plus throwing are refugees from the island called pashtun char which is again on south central bangladesh it's in the middle of the ocean is highly vulnerable to cycle on they have been taken into sheltered torrie does have come from that but nevertheless it's a clear danger to the nearly $1000000.00 refugees living in a very congested very poorly structured camp all in all a major challenge for bangladesh as well as theirs and they cannot make fallout from the storm. for us on the ground in dhaka thank you very much time and also please do stay safe. well we can now speak to our own meteorologist rob mccallum way he's here to tell us a little more about what will happen next we've now seen landfall rob we are we going to see things slow down from here mostly yes the winds of course pitt passed their peak because over land is not feeding itself and it was no more fuel for so when it we

danger because in the monsoon season those area can get flooded and there could be a landslide in the hilly slopes where a lot of these refugee camps are by and large we still have a lot of reports to see what comes up but the damage has been very severe this is one of the hardest gone since 190-2007 so we'll know farther down the road thank you for that update time chantry not for us there in dhaka. the u.n. special envoy for the middle east has called on israel to abandon threats to an expired so the occupied west bank israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu has been given the u.s. president's blessing to press ahead but the security council was told it could be it could breach international law diplomatic energy james space reports. many observers have predicted that prime minister netanyahu threat to annex parts of the west bank was simply an election ploy or some in fact in office he now says he'll actually do it and that's got many of the united nations worried u.n. special coordinator nicholai mad not briefing the security council restated the un's long held position that annexatio

>> direct hillis, i have a question. the budget reductions you were mentioning, they are above and beyond what we had already approved? >> correct. this is in addition to -- we didn't necessarily approve reductions as a result of the health crisis and the reduction in general fund revenue. so, we briefly talked about it. but we are coming to you in order to meet the mayor's target of 10% reduction for -- this is for the 2020-2021 budget that's already approved so this is an adjustment to the already approved budget for next year. [coughing] >> thank you. >> if there are no further questions, commissioners, we can move on to item 13 which will be extremely brief. we have no reports from board of supervisor, board of as or the historic preservation commission so we can move to general public comment. at this time, members of public may address the commission on items of interest to the public within the subject matter jurisdiction of the commission, exempt agenda items. with respect to agenda items your opportunity to addr

vonnie: are you surprised that yields in hilly it -- in italy our entire? this is a country on the verge -- in italy aren't higher? this is a country on the verge of junk, making huge use of the ecb facilities, and you can buy instead for 1.75%. marilyn: the downgrade wasn't completely unexpected, but clearly what you see in terms of the political negotiations between the different countries within the euro zone in terms of providing further fiscal support , and also just the measures that ecb has announced, i think really are acting at least for the time being as a backstop. when you look, as you say, at the spread between italy and othery opposed to peripheral economies, i think that particularly, christine lagarde suggests that they will expand the pepp program and do everything they can to support all of the different economies, and i think, given the market reaction from the previous ecb meeting, where it reacted , iatively to some comments think the message this time around was almost the opposite. ecb wanted to state that they really wanted to ensure

she said she voted for hilly clinton. couple of her people said she told him the story back in the 1990s, they also say they are supporters of joe biden. when you look at christine ford situation. it one of the reason she came forward was she was afraid that brett kavanaugh was going to overturn roe p. that makes a motive a lot more clear in her story. it doesn't not? >> i don't make it makes it a lot more clear. i think motives on both sides. one of the things that i wrote about in my column, as you know, and one of the things i have a real problem with as a victim, is somebody who, like miss reade who is championed in a sense, or perpetrator. she has not once, but numerous times reach we did, liked, and it spoken highly about the former vice president, with regard to his work on the violence against women's act, and other things that are against women being assaulted. the very thing that she is now accusing him of. i have a problem with that. a lot of people would say, what about those who were victims of harvey weinste

a hilly subdivision of mazoula. >> he was just such a terrific kid. you could see that, right off the bat. >> and he called you mom and dad? >> he did. he really became our son. there was no doubt about it. >> but darren was more than just a fun kid. he was engaged in the world. >> this was not your typical american teenager, who kind of wants to talk about, you know, sport stars and, you know, maybe the latest fashion. >> no. not at all. >> no, it's like, so what do you think about the situation in ukraine? you know. >> by the end of the school year, in 2014, darren had a solid circle of friends. he was tightest with another exchange student. this one, from ecuador. robbie pasmino. >> we had so many things in common. the same personality, with the same wishes and dreams. >> they were a package deal. >> you see one, you're going to see the other. >> oh, yeah. >> saturday, april 26th, 2014, was no different. the boys spent the evening playing video games and listening to music in randy and kate's basement. >> i went down, 10:30 or so, that night. told

i mean caucus or is that 1st of all built on sand and then next to it it's a very hilly area and that the rescreen landslide is massive we are also afraid that because of the water situation in the camp we have water stations but they are fragile and if one of them break we are having the risk of getting contaminated water which would further create risk for spread of deceases and it's also as we heard i mean young children 50 percent of the 1000000 people living in the camp are children so if they are outside i mean this is a huge waste that they could be flushed away by water or be hit by debris switch are flying through the wind so there is multiple shall and has fought for the population does a bit more about the response so far in terms of coronavirus how how big is the outbreak there and how well handled has it been. ok i mean so far the number of unsure is. hopefully it is not large right now but we are projecting that we might need over $10000.00 beds and if we are presently together with the u.n. at the united nations and our peer are going satan building up to 2000 isolation

so this will help a lot of people to be able to get around in that very hilly area with long distances. concerning covid-19, obviously it's a matter i take very seriously. we can have limits. we can have mass requirements. it's important to ensure that they can be easily complied with. what we don't want is to have people who are left on the side of the road. there was an innocent in philadelphia in which a passenger didn't have a mask and it turned into a very ugly incident. we don't want to have a situation where bus drivers are trying to play good cop/bad cop and having things escalate and worse yet, having people get hurt. so it won't be easy if masks were easily had but they're not. i think it important for muni to be involved in the process of helping to get these protective face coverings so people can comply and not be left out in the cold. so i appreciate the work you do and to the chair, i'm going to miss you. you have been an inspiration to me to come and speak at these meetings to get involved. thank you very much. >> thank you very much. next speaker. >> operator: you have
