the tram was specifically designed for this narrow labyrinth of hilly roads to. tourists hop on and off to enjoy views over the talk was as to where. it was. we really wanted to ride this tram because we've heard so much about it. either fergie's old ones to the new trams because you can lift up the windows and. i think that's great. it was about thank you bricky i like it a lot it's nice and slow it relaxes me. the tram passes one historical site after another. the painted tiles rosalyn a shoes on the wall the sun told to see a church to pick scenes from the city's past. then the tram which locals simply call electrico stops at lisbon cathedral the city's oldest church from here it descends a steep hill. there are several breaks so when one gives out the others can still bring the tram to a stop but to drive it you move this forward when you pull it back the wheels move in the opposite direction stopping the tram. this is a pneumatic brake this one is magnetic. and this is the handbrake when suddenly go to the. many people agree lisbon wouldn't be the same witho

i have a question for the commission and also for director hillis. there were a number of projects that were notified during the period where the city went immediately under shutdown. and in fact, we are talking about a period where even the planning commission wasn't meeting. if i may recall, mr. ionin reminds us it was mayor breed's order on april 3rd that allowed the commission to continue its work. so my question to you is, what could the neighbors that have objections to projects that were being approved could have done during the period between march 3rd and april 3rd? the reason that i'm bringing this up to is because we have one such project in noe valley that the neighbors are outraged because they didn't have an opportunity to bring this up to possibly discretionary review, but also took advantage of this time of chaos and got his entitlement and guess what? the property has been put on sale for $600,000 more than what the developer paid. so i'm bringing this to your attention. i hope the commission would follow up with the staff and i hope

times hovering just above us, it's not resulting in visibility issues as it sitting even above or hilly areas but enough to make skies a big gray after that sun does come up and only for a few hours one of the reasons we're a little cooler today than what we have been seeing as we're in the midst of a breakup of that high pressure that had been sitting over place. nice little low skirting the bay area not going to be resulting in anything more than just a few degrees cooler temperatures and then some breezy conditions mostly right along the coastline and up into solano county today very free of fog you can actually think some of that wind for that helping to mix out any of that marine layer and fog that typically forms at the coast. we'll see a return of some fog into tomorrow morning. but it shouldn't be too terribly intrusive hanging out just right along the coast for your friday morning. today's temperatures remaining similar to yesterday in san francisco with 50's and 60's returning as well as right along the coastline on highway one 60's yet again today 70's for most bayside areas

from the monte sort of hilly parts could sense this terrains potential he was eager to return it to its natural state he rolled up his sleeves found international investors and spent a significant amount of his own fortune on the project. wild animals are all with disappeared from the terrain when village pups took it over he consulted biologists hired david goosen an experienced park ranger and relocated a variety of animals from neighboring mozambique to his reserve he says his is a sustainable operation because it benefits local communities revenues from eco to resume in hunting finance as parts named his game reserve. he would also like to sell his stockpile of ivory harvested from elephants that died of natural causes and beliefs he should be allowed to sell it. became a fact with about 400000 animals elephants are not really an endangered species act of all the way to find the population decline from a 1000000 240-0000 elephants hard to bear. but you have to differentiate where it happened and why it happened it doesn't go home for example stopped sustainable use in 1977 when it h

and director hillis' absence. the report generates a huge amount of data, beautifully organized and addressing key data points that we're tracking. i'm curious what conclusions that the department draws from the data with respect to policy implications and what are we doing well and what do we ned to change as a result when we see this data. you know, where should we be putting more emphasis, what isn't working? you know, i feel like as a commissioner, i would benefit from guidance from the the department. when you look at this report, what conclusions you the department draw about how we're allocating resource and what ships might be useful in light of what the data is telling us. >> thank you, very much. i don't mean to put you on the spot to say i need you to answer that right now but you want to know if you go through that process and that exercise and how do you report back to us on that. >> thank you, very much. many of our data reports are the data and sometimes they have do have some conclusions about whet

you see the orange embers, the hilly terrain they are working.ome of the pictures from overnight, they have their hands full. cal fire says the fire has extended to some 1,500 acres and is only about 15% contained and at least two homes have been destroyed. we now know it started with a structure fire on crews road just after 2:00 yesterday afternoon. firefighters say the winds had quickly spread the fire to nearby brush and beyond. there is a evacuation in place for some 25 homes and some of those evacuees tell us they were hesitant to leave at first. >> by the time i got up there, it still looked like i might be okay. i mean, it happened very quickly. it was spreading very fast. >> reporter: now there is better containment on the park fire in morgan hill that started late saturday night and burned more than 300 acres but is now 70% contained. no word on the cause but they were thinking fireworks were a possibility of the start of that fire. in the meantime as these folks wait to see what happens here there is an evacuation shelter set up at the

rapadan on the rapadan river in virginia, but that had sort of been unused because it was a rocky, hilly roosevelt couldn't use, and so roosevelt had set up this presidential retreat called shangri-la and then when eisenhower was in office he renamed it camp david. after his grandson. >> did mamie invite any former or future first ladies to the white house? now, pat nixon probably doesn't count. since she was the vice president's wife, but were they friends with the reagans, for example? i know they traveled to california frequently. >> they really didn't know the reagans. they knew nancy davis-reagan's parents and socialized with them in california and nancy reagan did meet them and actually in the collection at the eisenhower presidential library there is a notice of ronald and nancy reagan's marriage, but it's a marriage announcement. it's not an invitation to the wedding. so they really knew each other more different generationally because ike and mamie were better friends with her parents, but as for first ladies, yes, mamie was friends with bess truman, although bess didn't often c

know that fire grew in size 5 hours ago was 40 acres now it's at a 100 they were evacuating people on hilly and again i mentioned that heart closure here on east down the road now this is prior to anderson lake and to give you some context of the area now officials are asking people to please avoid the area a few hours ago they had this area blocked off with law enforcement now they've been able to just put some barriers in the area but just look at how massive the fire is a grew in size fairly rapidly as the morning progressed now again overnight cal-fire evacuating 10 homes and they did not expect evacuate any more homes directly in the morgan hill area they were not evacuating people in the unincorporated areas where we saw a lot of those people be evacuated overnight and again last night a lot of celebration going on a lot of illegal firework use so what they're trying to figure out now is it that was a direct cause of this fire and they just driving into morgan hill this morning i passed several small fires that we're almost out on my drive into this area so fire departments across the
