mr. lam. >> yes. one of my priorities is safety, as i mentioned. and with my intensive infrastructure improvement plan, i want to make sure that streets, lights and timers are provided near senior centers. i live near two senior centers with no timers. you just sort of just talk across the street. and something bad can happen there, because a senior on their wheelchair could take more time than the average pedestrian. i want to continue the pensions and benefits that seniors receive, given by california and the city and county of san francisco. and i want to make sure that everyday activities, seniors going to buy groceries at the market, or going to the park, i want to make sure they're accessible. that means having senior accusations on transportation. >> moderator: thank you very much. miss o'meara. >> there's one thing that everybody left out. it got me thinking a little while back on the senior issue. like i would like people to hear it and know how you respond. wellness centers is one th

we're going to start with mr. lam. what is your position on open-air drug sales and how would you crack down on drug dealers. >> open-air. okay. so again police -- i support police enforcement. i support the funding of police. but other than -- for that -- everything that's illegal in open saling of marijuana, open sale of illegal drugs, i want to make sure that there's a crackdown on that. could you be more specific about your question. >> i just read it as it's written. >> okay. sure. sure. i want to make sure it's not here in san francisco. >> moderator: okay. thank you very much. ms. o'meara. >> i think having lived in the different districts, i have learned a lot about my current d5 district. and it comes with a whole history that needs to be reevaluated and understood. having lived in the fillmore and what's now called the lower haight. it's interesting. it's interesting that -- of course, i'm concerned about open drug sales. obviously i don't want to be exposed to it. i don't want to be around it. i don't want m

the chaotic situation in the legislative councils all over 2019 and even more when misses carrie lam -- mrscarrie lam delivered her policy address. you can imagine it will be really chaotic when those policies are discussed in the legislative council later. the question, my question is whether those will be discussed properly and then have a conclusion in the legislative council. believe doubt it and i there will be many, many disruptions in the legislative council. apart from that, if you ask me whether those policies if they pass, whether they will actually boost growth, only one will billedrowth and that is public housing. housing.public the plant have public housing on land is exceptionally long. it is double the time used by private developers. not to mention after the planning, the building is double the time -- yvonne: 10 years, at least? rishaad: some of it will be 20 years. iris: more than 20 years. they admit it will be more than 20. rishaad: there are 200 islands already. there are loads that could be used, if they want to go that route. it seems to me that is also an obstacle fo

. >> i think mrs. lam took too long pussyfooting around the problem.e not wiser, we all know what the options are. she should have moved in more strictly and put forward more radical solutions. stephen: even mainland media has criticized the property tycoons to adding to the angst of society. it is little surprise that the real power brokers are keeping their heads low. >> behind-the-scenes they will say that they are worried and they can see the implications of what is happening to some extent. some of them understand where the protesters are coming from, but publicly, particularly those who have business interests that can be affected by beijing either here or in china itself, of course they have to be seen to be telling the line. stephen: they also do not want the extradition bill. >> they should be thanking the protesters for stopping it dead in its tracks. stephen: perhaps no developer has suffered more damage from the protest and the city's subway operator, whose stations have turned into battlefields. >> i never knew or expected that mtr would b

mr tsang, i'm sorry tojump in here. do you think the answer would be for ms carrie lam to step down and let someone else get hong kong outo mr —— ms lam herself to decide because that position can only be appointed or dismissed by the central government. the central government would have to consider whether there is a better substitute before they can make any decision. so, ithink substitute before they can make any decision. so, i think the — carrie is now committed, so to speak, to clearing up the mess she has created. but it looks like she is not helping out with the situation at the moment. the mess is getting even worse. don't you forjoining us, jasper tsang. i would not say that. thank you forjoining us from hong kong. thank you. -- thank you for joining hong kong. thank you. -- thank you forjoining us, jasper tsang. you're watching newsday on the bbc. still to come on the programme: as the world solar challenge race nears the finishing line, we hearfrom one of the team leaders about the challenges of using the sun for fuel. also on the programme: how celebrities and politicians have become victms of the damaging u

lam not lake. the landscaping, i could help him out. i am not too far from there. mr trotter, i him out.le. the son of lord bamford, who's the chairman of the construction firm jcb, is understood to have made a bid for it. it's not straightforward though. the land on which the plant is based is owned separately. jo bamford is thought to want control of both the business and the land before he invests. the deadline to resolve the future of the plant is 10 this morning. watch this space. could governments be able to make more money by taxing big tech firms more? the organisation for economic and development has put forward proposals that would completely overhaul the way in which businesses around the world are taxed. the big winners would be the uk, the us & china governments. the plans would mean the likes of apple, facebook and google would pay more tax in countries where they make profits and sell more products and services. at the moment these companies can shift profits around the world to minimise their tax bills. and it's official. liverpudlians are the chattiest people in britain.
