they gave me muriel's phone number. muriel was an angel. i have been here for years.er and have that pain not be there, then i want to be part of that. >> muriel saenz is a champion for change because she is changing lives. she is opening a door for people who are incredibly desperate for freedom and giving them an opportunity. >> so muriel says the panic attacks tied to her ptsd are now a thing of her past. she went back to school to become a court representative so she can open an immigration clinic and help some of the asylum seekers in court. what strikes me are the similarities between her local story, my own family's story. it is one story. it is the story of this country since its birth and it is a story i hope we never stop telling in it is also a story, the challenge that your grandfather faced and your father fleeing the country that's still very present, certainly if cuba to this day, but certainly like nicaragua, takes struggle for so many people. why do they want to come to the states? perhaps to get the freedom you have been able to enjoy. >> in the case

this day so many people around the world that are seeking refuge, that are being persecuted, and muriel was 14 and i was adopted into this country. it's been a very good life here. >> until april of 2018. >> yes. april of 2018 changed my life completely. >> in 2018, the government in nicaragua made a series of controversial decisions that led to an outpouring of protests and demonstrations in the streets. the government cracked down, and hundreds were killed. >> all these flashbacks of what happened when i was little started coming to me, and they diagnosed me with moderate to severe ptsd. i did live through the revolution in nicaragua in 1979. i was 10 years old. it was just very scary. i had to go to therapy, but the therapy wasn't helping me. i started helping other people and got active on twitter and facebook, and i started receiving pictures of people that had been tortured or shot, and people asking me for help. >> muriel quit her job as an occupational therapist to focus on this full-time. >> i help them fill out their applications for asylum. when i take down their testimonies

taken a hit that lagged another market news, getting advice on how to invest in manager money from muriel become a thing of the past. global predictions has created in a high-powered platform called portfolio pilot. it's driven by chat tbt and makes personalized recommendations based on your current portfolio and economic conditions. it is the first-ever nonhuman financial advisor registered by the security and exchange commission. joy to be global prediction ceo and founder alexander harmsen. great to have you with us. tell us about portfolio pilot, how it works there's people skeptical about chat gdp starting tech stocks. >> i'm glad to be here, think of her having me on. like you just showed portfolio pilot we've seen as the first a.i. driven financial advisor and we went through a great deal of work to make sure that this actually can get regulatory approval with the sec. we went to the exact same human financial advisor process that all other registered investment advisors go through. a big part of that we don't use chat gdp for these recommendations. on the surface it looks like sim

in d.c., mayor muriel bowser allocated $3.4 million in next years fiscal budget to begin replacing allcans over the next eight years. for joel edwards, that's a welcomed move. after several visits from d.c. health, hiring a pest control company and a home renovation to seal off holes, he's had some relief in the last few months. >> there's a little rat ptsd. once it's in to you, it's in you. you can't really get it out of your mind. they are everywhere. courtney: but if you think you hate rats, corrigan says think again. >> the rat has added 25, maybe 30 years to our longevity as a species. you know, we studied it backwards, forwards, upside down, psychologically, medically, we've opened them up. so to some degree, i would say to everybody, when you walk down the street, if you do see a rat before you think about how are we going to manage it, say, by the way, thanks a lot. courtney: easier said than done. for the pbs newshour, i'm courtney norris. amna: you can watch and read more of our reporting on the rat problem many cities are facing online at pbs.org/newshour. and that's the new

here is the dc mayor muriel bowser with what she thinks might be a remedy.. >> we need more officers. we don't have the officers that we need and, sadly, we've lost three to four hundred officers in the last four years. we haven't had officers in our schools and we have policies that make it difficult to recruit new officers. people commit crimes and they're not held accountable. >> trace: the mayor never called for defunding the police but she did march with black lives matter and put black lives matter in front of the white house painted on the street there. clearly there is an idea that if you become a police officer the politicians won't have your back. and who wants to be a police officer. would you sign up in the nation's capitol today. >> oh, absolutely not. i don't know any law enforcement officer that is enjoying working in any far left wing democratic city. it is dangerous. elected officials don't have the backs of law enforcement and she's sitting here complaining but it's her attitude and approach that drove out the three to four hundred law enfo

"got to throw a boomerang in there," and we just list australian things. [ laughter ] a dvd of "muriel'send of it, the credits go downwards like, you know, sort of opposite. [ laughter ] >> seth: so the way -- [ light laughter ] the way that toilets flush backwards in australia >> the credits - >> seth: yeah, the credits go the opposite way >> and yeah, that was the whole sketch was just us listing -- rain gear. throw some rain gear in there. and that was it. >> seth: and i -- my recollection of it is, it was very patently clear, about halfway through the sketch, that it was not going well. and then the three of you would just start enjoying it even more >> even more >> seth: because i would say, as a trio goes, in my history of the show, the three of you had a deep sort of affection for each other, and so you really were having just as much fun when things were going badly. >> yeah. and it was a nice simple sketch. but yeah, you can really feel -- and it's something you pointed out. sometimes you blame the audience you're like, "they're just really quiet tonight." [ laughter ] but then,

muriel. yeah. um i also would like to share the sentiment of vice president moore on particular this item. as i see it. and i think we've had this kind of discussions before and something that is also identified in the housing element in terms of the needs when it comes to the residential care facility. and of course, the issue is, is always the funding and the, you know, the funding and also who are the, i guess, the project's sponsors that going to do it. however as a planning department or in planning commission, we also need to, of course, lay out the land in terms of the need for those kind of residential care facilities and looking into this, the proposed dwelling unit is. 3000 403,445ft!s, and it's a single family home. and again, you know, we i find those kind of single family units. that's something that can be, you know, affordable by design. and perhaps it can be subdivided into two units or what vice president commissioner moore was saying in order to utilize this space. so that's also

commissioner muriel yeah, yeah.ast year i believe last year was the first time that this development was presented to us and all of the commissioners, including me as well, see this as a good opportunity in developing and building it. an and you know, one thing that i see as well in in terms of the west side. yeah i mean the stonestown in itself alone is such a successful development and i would also comment in terms of the outreach that the brookfields have done in the community. i think one thing before you know, in the west side area at least, is that when we're developing, we want to make sure that the residents are actually have a buy in onto this. having said that, that of course there will be additional demands because this is such a big project. this, like any other projects that large developments that have happened here in san francisco before, such as like the mission rock or other developments that have happened where there are big development agreements when it comes to affordable housing. so i guess my
