you have pretty much stated your path and you want the human rights commission. i do want to hear from the department of public health and i do want you to say a few things about the meet and confer and we don't have someone here from hr do we? are you here from h. r.? so that is why we did the same thing when we were talking about removing the fees for those that were in criminal proceedings. we have done the same thing when it pertained to every single administrative code change and that's been my prerogative as the chair of the committee and it's not meant to slow down or inconvenience people but to respect the process of this committee and if we were just simply talking about there is going to be additional conversations about budget i would say i 100 percent agree with you. i just want to state for the record the reason why it's important to me as chair of this committee that the conversation happened in this committee if we are talking about ultimately where this new sharp department will sit. you mentioned meet and confer and i know that is one of the issu

s budget into the department of human rights commission. and we are specifically moving to positions, the same two that were allocated for the d.p.h. budget. all right? that is my motion. is there a second? oh, excuse me. supervisor? >> for clarification, do we need to say those positions are 1823 and 1406 instead of what was originally suggested? >> ok. would you like to amend? >> yes. i'd like to amend that to state that in transferring the department of sharp to h.r.c. that the two positions allocated would be at 1823 and a 1406 as recommended by the human rights commission. >> all right. thank you. i'll second that motion and take it without objection. supervisor yee? >> i have a clarification. should we state also since it's $20,000 less, then that should be also eliminated from the budget? >> yes. controller's office is indicating that that is a yes. >> in moving the motion, that will naturally occur. >> thank you. could we take that motion would objection? ok. without objection, it passes. thank you. next is district attorney's office

we can open it up to get some suggestions. -- one of the interesting things about the human rights commission issue is , there is agreement among democratic countries that societies respect human rights are stable, secure, and make better allies. when you strengthen democratic institutions and workers rights, it promotes economic development and trade, but it also levels the playing field for u.s. business. if others treat their workers correctly. the final thing that promotion of democracy does is takes away -- by giving people a peaceful way of redressing grievances, it takes away a recruiting tool terrorist use. what is reason the national security strategy of president trump is clear on this topic, national security strategy states that liberty, free enterprise, equal justice under the law, the dignity of every human life are central to who we are as a people and makes clearer the commitment to human rights is essential to the u.s. influence abroad. forsserts that respect human rights produces peace, stability, prosperity, making it integral to u.s. national security. the mission of our b

human rights council does not mean getting out of the human rights business. we can open it up to get some suggestions. one of the interesting things about the human rights commission is there's pretty much agreement among democratic countries that society respect human rights are stable, secure and make better allies. when you strengthen democratic institutions and workers rights, promote economic development and trade but also levels the playing field for u.s. business be others start treating their workers correctly. final thing that promotion of democracy does is takes away by giving people a peaceful way of regress addressing grievances, it takes away a tool. it's for these reasons the national security strategy is very clear on this topic. liberty, free enterprise, equal justice under the law and the dig dignity of every human life to the dignity of us as a people. it asserts it produces peace, p prosperity making it integral. the commission of our bureau has never been dependent upon the united nations. a whole activity that we and our colleagues and the department and administration engage in. by disengaging from one component of the u.n., that does not mea

of level playing field let's just talk about that with that phrase level playing field of human rights commission of pakistan and independent body that observes human rights in pakistan use this very term and said that the human rights commission is deeply concerned that the political class is being selectively squeezed they were basically saying that they're equal freedoms is not being given to political parties in pakistan this is just one of the comments of the made on the sixteenth of july when they had a press conference so well you know like yes i've read that comment and i can tell you that that this is a comment of one particular organization sometimes i feel that some of these organisations i've been partial as well but i had cited fifteen which is a conglomerate of four hundred and use only the only domestic pakistani enjoys it does not consist of any international n.g.o.s because a number of international n.g.o.s at least thirty were kicked out of pakistan in twenty seventeen well first of all you need to have c.p. is when you've completely only comprises pakistanis who knows it so you

this is an and conversation and i understand there will be two members of staff at human rights commission -- -- >> supervisor safai: did director davis leave? >> i think so. >> can i just respond to that? i appreciate that request and the reason we didn't include it is because we are still fighting to get the third position of sharp in the budget. it's a budgetary issue and not about the creation of the office. to budgetary needs and request in the department of the status of women, i support many of them and i know there is a whole list of requests that you have supported. i that didn't seem an important piece of legislation that setting up a new office that's setting up a new office -- i didn't want to confuse the issue and it's entirely important for the board to take up that process during the budget process, but for me my top priorly is getting sharp up and runnening completely and i have been working with the major's office and with our budget and with my main cospoon or who is on the budget committee, supervisor stefani to get that in. >> there were a few areas they referenced ofte

harassment and assault response and prevention under the direction and the oversight of the human rights commission. >> supervisor cohen: all right, thank you very much. just want to recognize mr. l. davis is out of town, unavailable. i thought that she was sending a representative to speak on this item. okay. supervisor ronen is coming to speak on item 14. just as a way of background this ordinance establishes the sharp program for sexual harassment and assault response to be housed at the human rights commission. this item was previously heard at the rules committee and it's been discussed at length throughout the entire budget process. i want to welcome supervisor ronen to join us in our discussion. >> supervisor ronen: thank you. >> supervisor cohen: thank you. supervisor. >> supervisor ronen: i'm sorry -- >> supervisor cohen: no apology needed. supervisor yee and we took 13 first. >> supervisor ronen: oh, gosh, sorry about that. so thank you so much for hearing this item. colleagues, today -- sorry, excuse me -- so today we are hearing less tha legislation thi introduced with all 11 of my coll

perhaps but there's also a great deal of fear the interim merican commission of human rights warns that a third phase of repression is now under way with selective arrests disappearances and the criminalize ation of those who oppose a president whom they see as a dictator and see what are the chances that some sort of a dialogue is going again. peter i don't think that right now it looks as though that's going to happen at least not anytime soon the president on the contrary saying that he will consider returning to a dialogue if quote if the conditions are right and among those conditions he says has to be the pacification of the country he's not talking about making any kinds of concessions for bringing forward elections for example which is what the opposition is calling for instead what we're seeing is that large numbers of people being imprisoned and being charged with terrorism and the fact we are without much of a defense in fact the human rights commission says at least thirty five people have been charged so far and and the least another hundred look like they will be in the co

i too was part of that human rights commission think-tank. not to take credit but i put that out there the cb3p. thank you for campaigning for the industry. i know that uphill challenge. i know a lot of people think it's a money grab. thank you for all those local people keeping san francisco real and keeping the culture real and our industry ours. thank you for coming out. >> any other commissioner comments? >> i just want to say thank you for coming out today and speaking. the cb3p program is exactly what this program was intended for and you know, you guys are the natives. i know what that is like. a lot of you were here early on and dennis perone would be very proud of you. helping a lot of sick individuals. i'm from the castro and i got to tell you, i know a lot of people whose lives were extended because of people like you. and you guys should be the ones benefiting the most from the legalization of recreational cannabis in california. you are right, we're seeing the big people come in, they're getting their spaces and they can afford t

well among the victims were some of the elections candidates human rights commission has calling it an attempt to actually manipulate the result of the upcoming vote at the election has been mobbed not just by violence but also by a corruption scandal one of the major parties is the pakistan muslim league now led by ship as shaddy his brother is former pakistani prime minister he flew used to head the party but was detained over corruption allegations just some days ago. politician emraan khan he represents the center right pakistan movement for justice and we spoke to him around khan about the main issues facing pakistan. it is. the biggest crisis financial crisis never was this such a fiscal deficit never was this such a huge trade deficit and never would be institutions in such a bad state as they are in august the way forward is immediate reformation of the state institutions of regulators for the financial regulators the corruption ward watchdog. we need peace stability we need good relations and we certainly do need good relationship with the u.s. . u.s. is a superpower cannot be

up until 2006, it was under the purview of the human rights commission. in 2011, it moved over to contract monitoring division. i sit on the advisory committee. i'm by no means an expert. we have c.m.d. staff here that can probably answer very specific questions about the ordinance, but can i give you an overview about what it's like to be an l.b.e. want to skip forward to what i found was interesting. one of the purposes of the 14b program is that the public has an interest in focusing a vibrant network of businesses in san francisco. and san francisco believed we could accomplish this goal by assuring that small and micro businesses can compete for projects on a level playing field. i think it's interesting that san francisco owned the first business incubator program. it was this. again, i wanted to quickly talk about just the ecosystem. i also want to mention that there is turn within this ecosystem. for example, the cathedral hill hospital, which is being built is being built and they were at one point an l.b.e. so there is constant turn of companies

too too -- recently last year retired from working 34 years for the human rights commission and contract compliance and contract monitoring division. over this 34 years i looked very carefully at the words and straight off, i'm sorry to say, i have to disagree with you supervisors. project labour agreement, ok? s.f.o. is a project. we will do the water bond measure and we will do the sewer bond measure. this is a blanket -- i don't see the word project. this does not apply. it is unfair. i would ask our supervisors to look carefully at that is what we could be subject to a lawsuit and also carefully looking -- creating a broken ladder rather than creating a bridge for success.

the biggest concern has been raised and probably even the most strongest of words by the human rights commission of pakistan saying that this is the dirtiest election in august sun's history not just because of the rhetoric and how extreme elements from the fringe have entered the mainstream of politics but of politics about the sun but also because of the fact that these elections which are allegedly being louvered if you've seen a number of box on the city divide the former ruling members who've left their party in large numbers so almost sixty of them have left from the province of punjab alone and the there are allegations that they are being pressured by various circles in drawing the intelligence agencies of projects on to change going to use towards the box on the inside of the human rights commission of bucks on also saying that the media has also been porous it's been told who's rallied to cover what to say about each politician and how not to report about did involvement and that rolled off the box on the military the deployment of more than three hundred seventy thousand troops as par

the independent human rights commission of pakistan has strongly criticised attempts to manipulate thees across the country. that raises doubts about what kind of role the military will play, because they have been given this extraordinary power and the human rights commission also points out how many election candidates of the pakistan have action and candidates from the pakistan people's party were threatened, who got phone calls asking them to switch sides and also not giving them permission to campaign in many areas. indian actress raajshree deshpandee has said she is disgusted after her sex scene in a netflix series went viral as a "porn clip". the 30—second video clip is from sacred games, netflix‘s first indian original series, and shows consensual sex between a gangster and his wife, played by deshpandee, who has now been called a "porn star" on social media and some users told her that she should be ashamed of the scene. divya arya has more. when i spoke to the actress, she told me that she was very convinced that the character in the series in which she was playing, she was c

human rights globally after four years in thejob? zeid al hussein, welcome to hardtalk. thank you. of course, no united nations human rights commissiona full second term, but why did you choose to stand down afterjust one term? well it was clear to me, that had i sought a second term, i would have to somehow win the approval of the agreement of the permanent five members of the security council — that is how it was done the first time i was elected. i was dominated by the secretary general following a series of interviews and then he sounded out the permanent five — the us, russia, china, france and uk — and they approved. i had no doubt that virtually none would approve me for a second term. i wasn't willing to try, lest i be drawn into having to compromise. this office needs to maintain its independence, the term of a high commissioner should be limited to one five—year or six—year period and that is it. so you think you would have gotten five straight vetoes — including from the uk and france? possibly. i irritated all governments over the course of four years. i am not sure that that dumb like they would have approved me. have yo

prior to the election, the human rights commission of pakistan, the elections have been manipulated,protecting. the pakistan's people's party. in the smaller regional parties. they are all complaining that support has just been announced in front of the parties. and that was not done. there are concerns that the results have been manipulated. there are issues of transparency. the army has been accused of interfering their support. of course, why would they be supporting him? the last government had become in certain areas. civilian democracy is and to assert itself as a political leadership in the country. and traditionally the army is usually done this directly or it has had done this directly or it has had done influence. particularly in foreign policy. the here's our briefing on some key events happening later. hello, your thursday sport briefing. geraint thomas is wihtin touching distance of claiming the tour de france with stage 18 heading out shortly, unai emery takes charge of his first arsenal match when the gunners face atletico madrid and england name their squad for the fi

yes, there are a number of this allegation being made, like the human rights commission in pakistan,ng able to express themselves freely for their views and that the political playing field favoured one party over the others. so we'll have to see the coming days whether the parties of the former prime minister will take this further, but many would be impressed by the fact that imran khan is quite happy to hear their complaints and help them investigate. thank you very much. thank you. let's get some of the day's other news. there are serious indications that the fire that killed at least 83 people in the athens this week was started deliberately, according to the greek government minister responsible for citizens protection. an investigation is under way. it hit the village that is popular with tourists, 11 our intensive care. dozens more are still missing. —— 11 are in intensive care. turkey says it won't tolerate us threats over a detained american pastor, whose trial on terrorism charges is straining relations. it comes after president trump demanded that turkey immediately relea
