mr square started with a car bomb and a team moved to help that team leave the area and after they go through the whole use of force continuum they ended up having to fire and firefighter up to it in the armored vehicle that the guys are in was disabled by incoming enemy round was delayed them longer because the vehicle was disabled and so yeah it's a tragedy. a tragedy indeed a prince's retelling of the event is far from accurate and you have to take my word for it or to the iraqi government a u.s. military court and an f.b.i. investigation at least fourteen of the seventeen iraqis killed that day were shot without cause it was also never confirmed that a car bomb even went off in iraq interior ministry that explosion was from two mortar shells that landed in the vicinity of the heavily secured compound blackwater was protected and furthermore according to several interviews blackwater guards said quote during the operation at least one guard continued firing on civilians walk holy eggs urgently called for a cease fire but here in prince deflected blame for the massacres he oversaw i

mr. chair and members of the committee on the bottom of the page we report that the number of t dr traktsdz can't be specified. to sell 1 hundred 1 million square feet can't be estimated. in addition the 1 million square feet plus can't be determined therefore the timing of the t dr procedures to be realized can't be calculated at this time. on page 10 of the report the net procedures of up to $1 million square feet plus would be used psychologically for the memorial complex but that is subject to the approval of the board of supervisors. so our recommendation 0 a that's been stated here today obtain page 11 of the report we recommend you amended the proposed so the 12krishgd property will be submitted to the board of supervisors and immediately upon reaching the sales of $50 million square feet to adjust the sales price and a recommend you accept the proposed remedies as amended >> thank you, mr. rose. we'll open this up for public comment anybody wish to comment on this particular item? >> supervisors i'm a historic he prestige speciality. i've been involved a number of years. i'm really concerned about this. i did not know about this until s

mr. yanukovych to per wad persue protests from coming off the square without giving them anything, and that's why they have not gone away. he thought that they would be pleased. and they're interested in a government that's not corrupt. interested in a government that promoted democracy, and interested in developing themselves in freedom. and in association with the european union. >> if we were to go down to the square together and talk to the people occupying it for weeks and months, would they see the president's now agreement to open a session of parliament as progress, as a kind of victory? we seem to be having audio problems with kiev. tara, i know you're not there, but you're in regular contact with people who are, and is there a sense that yanukovych is at least meeting them at least part way? >> no, i don't think so. i don't think anybody, especially after the deaths of what the ukrainians are saying at least seven people actually. after those deaths, i don't think anybody really, very few people in the ukraine, and i'm sure that it's the same in the u.s. and western experts, trust a

mr. -- energy ministry. any protesters who stay in independent square -- are being labeled as extremists. the latest developments from the ukraine, we bring in marcus arra--we have been getting these reports that president yanu kovych as offer them positions in the government, will this have any impact? >> this is very unlikely to have a positive impact because people on the streets say that the man that he offered to post as prime minister -- one of the opposition leaders, should not accept this offer because they think this is another tactical maneuver to divide the opposition and to weaken them further. kovych issident yanu turned down by the opposition, what does this mean on the street? >> i think it will further inflame the protest, the situation on the streets of kiev is rather tense right now because we have some conflicting information reports that the government and the president, viktor? yanukovych isr bringing in more riot police to crack down on the protests. the demonstrations are very tense and many people see more violence and bloodshed in kiev. tell usre in kiev, about th

ultranationalists which at this point form the majority of the activists out there not only on my down square but on her chest mr ok and not just getting reports that the opposition is about to me is the ukrainian president in a huff now it's time for me appointing. how is it going to pan out can we expect anything good. i don't think we're going to see anything at this point i can't imagine that the mainstream protest leaders. are willing at this point to separate themselves from this right sector or from the spill bona party violence they have not denounced them so far they have used the government buildings that they have seized as their own headquarters i can't imagine that they would denounce the violence and i can't imagine that the government is going to back down at this point because polls show that the majority of the citizens of the ukraine are disenchanted with the protests that have in-laws in kiev itself they're afraid to leave their homes. they want order restored to the streets and they want these protesters particularly the ultra nationalists who were jordi of which you come from the western ukr

it because you that's not democracy ok mr let me play something for our viewers that here have to say all the way back in two thousand to live on on tahrir square because i think this is a very interesting issue about the nature of revolution is most everybody just never it is not. for you know it is people in this room. and then the real world it is as people's revolution and that always works and i think this is a very romantic view of history because if you look objectively at the history of revolutions the russian revolutions the french revolutions most of them were very bloody and most of them lot to you even harsher regimes that preceded them and i wonder if you if you see any any danger in egypt getting into that habit of you know. before people's revolution i said it's no i said it's not the religious revolution i said it's not a political party revolution it's a people's revolution and what morsi did he turned it into a religious revolution and a political party revolution and that's why he hit the wall but mr market it's been the history of fridge after or pretty much any other country when you try to suppress any particular our geolo

head of pershing square came from research that bill ackman developed and he had a right-hand man, shane dinneen, harvard-educated analyst. that is bill ackman. see if we have a picture of mrn. this guy is rumored to be on the outs at pershing square ever since the stock started to move up. as you know they had a short position. initially went down. shares of herbalife on announcement after short. when other activist investors got involved on the long side, namely carl icahn and a few others the stock moved rapidly up. then there was rumors that shane dinneen was out. we should point out for four days we heard he was officially out the door. herbalife, excuse me, shane dinneen's, pershing square would neither confirm or deny or return our calls. the most troubling aspect of this is that rubenstein and company, run by howard rubenstein, one of the great pr people of all time, someone i know very well, when i reached out, when we reached out to his people they stonewalled us. one basically hung up on julie, my producer. but late last might, after lots of calls and lots of social media and doing stuff on fox business they finally conceded that mr. dinneen is out. they didn't
