what hasjohn mcdonnell said?t we both thought was significant about this story is that normally it is difficult to put a cigarette paper between john mcdonnell and jeremy corbyn. they have presented a united front over the last two or three years butjohn mcdonnell is a shrewd operator, he has recognised that this is doing a great deal of damage to the labour party in general, and also to his andjeremy party in general, and also to his and jeremy corbyn's particular brand of the labour party. it seems to me that he is trying to distance himself from jeremy corbyn because it is widely understood that jeremy corbyn, for whatever reason, is extremely both stiverne, and perhaps bunkered, about the extent of this problem stopped —— extremely both stubborn. john mcdonnell has let it be known that he does not agree that dame margaret hodge should be facing disciplinary actions for criticisms ofjeremy corbyn. disciplinary actions for criticisms of jeremy corbyn. this information has come into the public domain through sen

james, what hasjohn mcdonnell said, do we know?adow cabinet are not comfortable at all with the wayjeremy has handled this. don't know why we've got ourselves in this mess. i would echo this. it's astonishing that corbyn has allowed it to go so far, this crisis that's been running for years now. . . crisis that's been running for years now... there was a report by shami chakrabarti now... there was a report by shami chakra barti a couple now... there was a report by shami chakrabarti a couple of years ago, which was seen by many as a fudge, now the party has failed to indoors fully the international guidelines on anti—semitism. that led to a very dramatic reaction by the three jewish newspapers last week, all clubbed together and put on their front page this very powerful editorial where they said they saw this as an existential threat to their existence in this country. given what we went through in the second world war and the amount of welcome there has been tojewish people quite rightly in this country, that they now feel so th

miss solomon. >> thank you, president m mendoza-mcdonnell. susan solomon, uesf. this is a topic i'm looking forward to have the public forum on because when we as a union are in negotiation with the district, one of the things that becomes a difficult point at the bargaining table is why the reserves are typically higher than the mandated reserve because what we often see, unfortunately, is a crisis such as the affordability crisis and the housing crisis, and it makes us wonder when we're at the bargaining table what the money is being held in reserve for when it seems like an emergency. it sounds like that -- this topic is in contemplation of seeing crises coming up, and so since we -- just feels like we just finished negotiations, and it feels like they're practically around the corner, i look forward to having a deep discussion about what additionally these means in terms of salaries, wages and benefits for employees of the district and members tof uesf. thank you. >> thank you. comments from the board or superintendent? seeing none, roll call vote, please. >>

. >> commissioner mcdonnell: on the deferred maintenance, probably a future request because what it, what the report doesn't represent is i'm assuming a billion dollars in deferred maintenance and you pull the opportunities to invest the dollars, i completely support but i don't have what that context is, because you chose these and not those, helpful to see those and maybe why context these, if it was purely financial we could squeeze this. i don't know. that would be helpful. >> we are getting there, commissioner. from all of our work and the life cycle project, with i we have been involved, the third year, and contracted with the firm, called v.f.a., and they are delivering to us a very robust and database that they have inspected, all of our facilities and infrastructure with detailed condition assessments can show us the remaining expected life cycle, where the most critical need is, and we'll be able to rank order with a very comprehensive view what, where the most critical need is. we'll be getting that, we are meeting tomorrow. we'll be getting our first look at what the firs

. >> commissioner mcdonnell: i recall from previous renovation of a pool there was concern around lap swimmers in change of length. i don't recall right now -- what is the basis of their concern? >> right. historically -- i cannot say all the pools, but the majority of our pools were built in the '50s and they had 100-foot lap lanes. and lap swimmers like having the longer lanes. standard competition length is 75 feet. and so what we are -- what we've done is we've taken advantage of the fact that our pools were built longer than competition length and so we take the shallow end and use the bulkhead to create a dedicated lessons area and give the competition length on the lap side. the concern was among people that like to turn less and have a longer swim length. so it's been a balance. i think the other advantage that we see when we switch the competition length, is for high school meets, the times qualify. where the 100-foot lengths is not eligible. we've seen 40% increase in lessons being offered. >> commissioner anderson: i just have a general question for anybody who may be liste

with response to project life cycle and commissioner mcdonnell's point, it's a fair point except he's on the capital planning committee and d.b.i. and some of the other city departments issue seismic planning ratings, and this building has had the highest hazard rating for sometime, and so not even that is new. project life cycle, when we get the sum total of data, and depending on what the budget is, that will continue to influence policy choices. we are happy to come back. you've asked us to focus on equity and health and life safety, so we will obviously continue to work with the commission and the neighborhood groups and, you know, the board and certainly the mayor on everybody's priorities, but these were -- these projects that are in this list have all been sort of on the radar for sometimes. what the ultimate list is, i don't know. >> okay. that helps me because -- >> yeah. >> -- one of my questions is, and i realize you may not have an answer today because i'm a little bit newer than some of the other commissioners, i wasn't sure how these pipeline projects then become a core

mcdonnell says the midterms aren't the same and plans to hold a vote this fall. >>> cbs news will bringou a special report when the president announces his nominee for the supreme court and you can see it at 9:00 eastern. >>> president trump leaves tomorrow for europe for a meeting with nato leaders and vladimir putin. he's at odds over defense spending and trade. mr. trump threatened to stop protecting nato nations he feels are not paying their share. it appears unlikely that the trump administration will meet tomorrow's deadline to reunite children who were separated from their parents at the border. on friday the administration asked a federal judge for more time, the judge stuck to the deadline. another hearing is planned for today. the american civil libber difficults union says there are 102 children under the age of 5 who must be reunited with their family tomorrow. it expects less than half the cases will be resolved. >>> the death of a british woman poisoned by the same nerve agent by a russian spy is considered murder. a man also poisoned remains in critical condition. police

leader jeremy corbyn the it is supported absolutely jeremy corbyn and john both coburn and john mcdonnell have signed up to this quite some time ago sadly we are seeing that the new labor elements in the party including the shadow health team and including many of the m.p.'s in the parliamentary labor party do not wish to support the world in interest rates and what it would tend to basically restore the n.h.s. to renationalise it to restore it as a publicly provided. funded and accountable system by repealing the health and social care act which was a privatization act back in two thousand and twelve in its entirety by removing outsourcing to private companies by removing the internal and in fact extensive market with all that zation to these private contractors. with outsourcing what you can obviously do is just wait for the contract to expire so that shouldn't particularly require any years and here. i agree with you there are complicated. solutions and issues to be resolved but the most progressive solution that's been presented is to take the actual financial instrument at the heart

and labour's shadow chancellor, john mcdonnell, called on ministers to stop squabbling.rce has said its patience is at breaking point with the government over brexit. the chamber's sense of frustrations reflects what trade unions and businesses feel. all the chamber wants is some answers to some very basic questions. so can the chancellor front bench or treasury bench offer some answers today? will they be subject to new regulations? will customs checks be conducted in the uk? will companies first be able to transfer staff between the uk and eu as they do now? but above all else, will the government answer the question from the chamber, will ministers stop squabbling and provide some answers to these vital questions? mr speaker, it's fascinating to see the honourable gentleman posing as the champion of business when he's been attacking and undermining business ever since he got into his current position. but yes, i recognise all of the questions that he asks. on friday, the cabinet will meet to set out our way forward in our negotiation with the european union. we recogn

john mcdonnell. well, labour mps were given a free vote on the issue., who was a trade minister, resigned from the government in order to oppose the third runway plans. there was, however, one notable absentee from the debate, the foreign secretary, borisjohnson, who once said he would lie down in front of the bulldozers to prevent heathrow expansion. he was out of the country on a visit to afghanistan. but the next day, he was back for his regular round of departmental questions and facing his labour opposite number. may i firstly sympathise with the foreign secretary that due to his emergency duties abroad, he was unable to join last night's fight against heathrow expansion. four years ago... four years ago, he was asked the biggest lesson that he had learnt. four years ago, he was asked the biggest lesson that he had learnt from his supposed hero winston churchill, and his answer was, i quote, "never give in." "never give in. never give in." for some reason, churchill didn't add, "unless you can catch a plane to kabul." the foreign secretary clearly

spokesman, republican party chairwoman ronna mcdonnell, republican congressman devin den nunes, tom fittoning me now, social media stars and president trump's most loyal and energetic supporters, diamond and silk. great to have you with us. you know more than just a thing or two about this shadow banning. i have to think that you watch the events of the last few days with great interest. let me start with shadow banni banning. has your problem with twitter be fixed? >> it hasn't been -- we've been having a problem with facebook and facebook also shadow bans. and what shadow banning is, you can put out content where people don't see your content or when people search for you, they can't find you in the search bar. shadow banning is happening on all of the social media platforms. our problem has not been fixed with facebook. people are tired of censorship that's going on on their platform. >> you can't continue to do people bad or wrong deliberately and think good is going to come to you. like we said before, facebook will be the face without the book and the book without the pages unless ma

matthews, president mendoza-mcdonnell, and commissioners, thank you all for your time. we'd like to start with a bit of an overview of special education just as a reminder. i think we've presented this before, but students receiving special education services makeup 12% of sfusd's total population. that's over 7,000 students, and the majority of those students, actually 75% actually receive their services in a general education setting rather than a special day class. so by supporting special education students, we're supporting all students? special education is actually by law a service, not a placement. and the supreme court decided the andrew s. case last march. i'm sure you're all well verse -- endrewf. case last march. i'm sure you're all well versed in that, but we provided you some documentation of that that the fact that the new court decision confirms that students should have goals in their i.e.p.'s that are appropriately ambitious? and what the previous deminimus standard of barely moving forward is no longer acceptable. one of the things that's new here tha

we go to kelly mcdonnell out there in berkeley heights, new jersey. >> the democrats who came out in great numbers and the other americans who came out in demonstrations about abolishing i.c.e. if that's good for democrats, then the president said that's also good for republicans, and he's been hit hard by some democrats to abolish the agency known as the immigration and customs enforcement agency, i.c.e. the president using twitter to talk about this as well as a portion of a new interview. let's look at the tweet first. the liberal left, known as democrats, want to get rid of i.c.e. who do a fantastic job, and want open borders. crime would be rampant and uncontrollable. then his tag line, make america great again. so packed into that one tweet are a lot of themes from the president, trying to use as a wedge between the parties and to attract certain voters, the notion that democrats would somehow be weaker on immigration and crime and that republicans would take a harder line. also that could work against the president with voters who have been turned off by what has happened with

. >> thank you, president mendoza-mcdonnell. the action is that the superintendent's recommended budget fore the san francisco unified school district and the san francisco county office of education be submitted and the budget for fiscal year 2018-2019, and be placed in the official files of the secretary of the board of education. that the superintendent is authorized to make any transfers necessary to correct erroneous account classifications or to effect any changes in accounts made necessary by changes in the method of expenditures within the purpose of the appropriation. that in accordance with the california education code, the superintendent is here by authorized to convert the budget approved on school district forms to the official state forms prescribed by the state superintendent of public instruction for legal adoption, which we just did earlier this evening, and to transmit the fiscal year 2018-2019 budget for the unified school district and the county office of education to the county superintendent of schools wit

mcdonnell has signalled willingness to take this to the floor. you tell us where you think this stands, if passage is possible in your mind? >> sure. we're moving in the right direction. as you said, it's gaining steam and momentum. more senators on a bipartisan basis joining the effort. senator craco, senator of the banking committee, we're going to be having hearings and hopefully a mark-up. a vote on the committee and get them to the floor of the senate as soon as possible. it is hard for anybody to argue that we don't have a duty to protect the integrity of our democracy, and that's what this bill does. as you said, very simple. if the russians get caught again, they will know that there will be automatic and harsh penalties. so if you're putin, you will think twice before you interfere. >> i do want to quickly note this poll does have some interesting findings in terms of republican voters. what it finds is that 60% of republicans, this is a new quinnipiac poll, trust president trump more than intelligence. quickly your read on that. >> this

this committee i've been in work with jim nicholson as closely as i worked with jim peake and bob mcdonnell. recently we have seen va political cronies worked actively to undermine a secretary and adeptly secretary are unanimously concerned by the senate. as we speak, the secretary and deputies secretary positions are vacant within the va. although som same political appointees continue to collect paychecks. we are seeing nonpartisan senior leaders and subject matter experts leave the va in unprecedented numbers. many are concerned that the sound policies and ideas are being increasingly marginalized at the expense of politics. we are seeing va implement reform after reform in a manner that's. [inaudible] receiving political interest groups given a seat at the table. we are seeing va leadership none of whom have been confirmed/out at anyone seeking true transparency in the last couple of weeks the va has attacked news outlets is big news. they claim that the inspector general is his subordinate which could be further from the truth. i hope that you agree that this type of behavior undermine
