to secure kim's own power and legitimacy. in every recent test he hasn hand. president trump calls him little rocket man. but to his own people kim is now the leader who has ta ken their country into a very exclusive club. it is no small feat. the question now is can anything be done to stop him short of war, that everyone says they do not want. for us, in a way, the most important thing is not whether he's homicidal, it's whether he's suicidal. because whether we go to war or not, it might well depend upon whether we think deterrence works, or whether we need a preventive war. because we can't fall back to deterrence. if he's not suicidal, hisjust homicidal, then i'm prepared to argue let's rely on deterrence. at gunsan airbase in south korea, the united states air force is practising for war with the north. i'm getting a very rare opportunity to see what that means. flying in the back—seat of an f—16 fighter. up front is colonel steve tittel, callsign wolf ii. we're heading out on what they call here a red flag. simulated air to air combat. we're goin

when we did the 1,000 feet, it actually moved the districts into, as supervisor kim has shown you, to the west -- to the east side of san francisco because that's where most of nonschool retail is, but what it did do from an equity standpoint, it placed it in the black and brown neighborhoods, that kids may not see it when they're going to school, but they see it when they're going home, they see it on the weekends. they're exposed to it over and over again, and if we continue to do it 1,000 feet, because of our zoning issues, because of our commercial district being very east side, you're going to see much more on east side. so as supervisor kim has shown you, she not only has 16, but she has six in the pipeline and so again, it is just an opportunity of where you can be, not necessarily the question. the rules that we have for tobacco are 500 feet, so if you are going to look at a framework around access how we grant equity to tobacco access, it would be that. >> supervisor: thank you, israel. i appreciate your expertise that, and colleagues, would ask that you not support this issu

and tonight we have strong indications that kim has moved against a man who occupied that position. lse inside kim's circle looking over their shoulders. tonight, intelligence officials from washington to seoul are paying closer attention to kim jong-un's inner circle. this general believed to have occupied a position second only to kim himself has been out of public view for about two months. >> he or he could be executed. all of these things are on the table. >> he also could be under going so-called reeducation. time in a prison or labor camp to brainwash him into towing the party line. co cobe he be purged? >> directed national political bureau which makes sure every soldier is properly indoctrinated. he had already disappeared when a soldier made ha dramatic across the border. >> someone will to pay for it. and it may have been wong being a senior official. >> reporter: but analysts say he was involved in a power struggle with cha to have close ties to jimmy family. he has taken over his job. likely a revenge play that wong made three years ago. >> we know wong replaced cha as h

supervisor kim has been an amazing champion on this expansion. and our mayor, mayor ed lee actually had an opportunity to tour the facility. he was really excited about what it could do for some people that we know that are facing challenges, our most vulnerable population. we think it's as simple as showing up to a shelter, but just imagine if you have a medical issue. just imagine if you have a wound or something going on with your body that basically you have not been medically treated for. people who sadly are living on our streets need medical support, too. often times, imagine when we're in the same situation and we stay home and need time to heal, this is what the respite center is going to provide, a place for people to heal, a bed, a safe space, three meals a day, support they need and 30% of the people who have been helped in this respite center have been permanently housed. that's been amazing. the staff is not only providing the medical care, they're providing the social services that go with helping people transition into permanent h

so, again, supervisor peskin has made the motion to accept supervisor breed's and then the follow-on amendment from supervisor kim and then supervisor peskin can continue to add on this item for one week to next week's land use committee meeting. supervisor peskin has made that motion. we can make it without objection. thank you. madame clerk, call item number four. >> an ordinance to change the term car share vehicle to share vehicle and park in designated spaces and making appropriate findings. >> welcome back. >> thank you. andy thornly back from lunch. [laughter] sustainable streets, s.f. municipal transportation agency. committee members, we're asking for the board of supervisors assistance, a very minor language change. even more minor than the share moped we just brought. but the matter before you is to amends section 7.2552, the transportation code which is the infraction for parking in nonpermitted vehicle in a designated car share parking space. the change that we're asking for is to strike the word "car" and put a "d" after the wor "share." we're beginning to move to talk about shared vehicles rather t

korea comes at a time to have growing concern over kim jong-un's race to acquire weapons of mass destruction, including biological weapons. our brian todd hasightening possibility. what are you learning, brian? >> wolf, we're learning tonight that kim jong-un has the capability top weaponize more than a dozen biological agents within just a few days if he wants to wreak havoc on the korean peninsula. there are reports that kim has been methodical, but unrelenting in getting his scientists to figure out how to deploy deadly agents like anthrax, which killed several americans right after 9/11. tonight, there are new concerns that kim jong-un's deadly ambitions go beyond nuclear weapons. south korean officials and independent weapons experts are growing increasingly concerned that kim's regime has the intent and capability to develop biological weapons. >> they are a weapon of terror, in a sense, because we have, in our own minds, these thoughts about the horror of biologicals, outbreaks of disease. this is something that frightens us. >> reporter: south korean government reports recently cited by harvard university say north korea has 13 type

it has reached the point kim jong-un has announced, and i've always said that kim jong-un has an endgame. his endgame is that is when he will be ready to negotiate. we should have taken advantage of that. the fact is that for 74 days, he did not shoot a nuclear missile at all, or an icbm. and then we put him on the terrorism list, the president goes to asia and calls him fat and small. just name-calling. this doesn't work in diplomacy. it might work in real-estate deals and reality tv, but here we are escalating again. christian: the honest truth is, bill, that diplomacy has not worked, and the reason they have proceeded with this program, despite all the pressure they have been under, is because they see the missiles as insurance against the existential threat they face. giving them up, why go through all the pain they have been through? mr. richardson: well, i think you have to make an extra effort at diplomacy. i think what maybe will work is that you say to the north koreans, don't shoot a missile for a certain period of time, 30 days, and we talk and return and maybe reduce a little

nuclear capable the ility, th that we have acknowledged that he has both chemical and biological weapons is not new. this is not a new red line. kimhey've been living across that red line for years. >> right. >> so this is nothing new. this is nothing new. >> so i mean then it brings you to the question of how prepared is the u.s. military for something like this? are they immunized and equipped to handle this? spider? >> yes, they are. absolutely. the united states military understands what the threat looks like. and the soldiers that are potentially going to be involved in a conflict on the peninsula have reached a level of readiness and preparedness for this kind of environment. >> all right. final word to you, bob. >> the question is what would it take for north korea to give up its nuclear weapons and right now, i don't see anything and threatening them has done no good at all. and sanctions at the end of the day, probably is going to do very little. >> yeah. it seems like every time we impose sanctions, then north korea has another test and you know, it's just an ongoing cycle. so gentlemen, thank you so much. appreciate it.

but he does say kim has to pause his missile test if they talk.erks person said as long as they keep launching bombs, they're not showing their seriousness. only to break their promises. and they say kim's negotiators are known to act like mafia bosses. >> every time they want to get a new cash payment, they come to the table and they, you know, use the negotiations to play for time and play for advantage. and then what happens is the koreans say if you don't give us "x," we will walk away and conduct a provocation, a nuclear test, a missile test. >> reporter: still some analysts say talking to kim now while tensions are so high can at least bring some danger levels down. >> the talks could stop the missile launches, the nuclear tests and ulttally down the road stop the production of more missile material and start moving it in the other direction. >> reporter: we've gotten no response. opening up talks with pyongyang is not rex tillerson's only surprise tonight. he also said how to ensure north korea's nuclear weapons don't fall into the wrong ha

the us has made it clear it doesn't want war with north korea but kim jong—un has continued to buildsanctions have not stopped him. the international committee is running out of diplomatic options. i'm going to urge the pentagon not to send any more dependants to south korea. south korea should be an unaccompanied tour. it's crazy to send spouses and children to south korea, given the provocation of north korea. military experts have warned that a war on the korean peninsula would have devastating consequences and north korea would be utterly destroyed. the hope must be that the threat of action, alongside stringent sanctions, will force the young korean leader to change course. laura bicker, bbc news, washington. earlier, i spoke with jacob shapiro, who is the director of analysis for the intelligence firm, geopolitical futures. i began by asking him about the significance of these exercises. i think exercises are significant, i don't think this size is. size doesn't really matter. he had massive exercises in august. the important thing is the us isn't giving up its security guarant
