i'd like to offer my support to palm city and its owners. i live one block from the business and i've lived there 25 years ago. 20 years ago, i started my own business in san francisco, so i understand the need for careful planning and short timelines when it comes to launching a small business. i've enjoyed witnessing the generational shift in the sunset that has ushered in many new opportunities for young people to start and sustain businesses in the outer sunset in particular, and i look forward to walking down the block to palm city with my family for dinner. it's important that this city make good on their initial approval in support of palm city. small, independent business owners do not have the financial resources to support six-month reviews, and more importantly, a review that was not planned for by the city in the first place. palm city has provided due diligence to the city and very carefully planned. specific evidence of their planning is their approval by the s.b.a., a rigorous vetting process of its own. it's important that th

cattle ranching is the main problem, but palm oil, brazil says they want to grow the industry.to do to make things better, there is an agreement called the soy moratorium, agreed between stakeholders in the amazon and big businesses, that agreed that nobody would buy soy grown on deforested land, since that agreement was reached, spectacular drop in the amount of deforestation caused by soy plantations. we need to repeat that trick for the other industries. is it about people power, ordinary citizens making choices that affect businesses that are harming the amazon. that was brought about in pa rt amazon. that was brought about in part because of the public outcry, but the role of soy in deforestation but the role of soy in deforestation but i would be cautious of laying too much at the foot of the consumer, it is about finding out where meat is coming from and looking at what the company's palm oil policies are, but this is a huge economic issue with lots of drivers and really it is about the big companies on the ground pushing for change. what about the government in brazil,

it was the palm beach police at the time. the problem, is that an awful lot of this was going on in the united states and i wasn't a party to it and i knew nothing about it. in 2008, he was convicted... yep. ..of soliciting and procuring a minorfor prostitution. he was jailed. yes. this was your friend. yes. how did you feel about it? well, i ceased contact with him after i was aware that he was under investigation, and that was later on in 2006. and i wasn't in touch with him again until 2010. so, it was one of those things, that if somebody‘s going through that sort of thing, "well, i'm terribly sorry, i can't be..." so, no contact? no contact. when he was serving time, there was no call...? no. ..no letter... no. ..nothing there? no. he was released injuly. within months, by december of 2010, you went to stay with him at his new york mansion. why? why were you staying with a convicted sex offender? right, i have always, ever since this has happened, and since this has become, as it were, public knowledge that i was there,

we talked about palm oil and soybean is big business for brazil. much does that play into it when it comes to financial decisions and what financial markets want and need? countries like brazil are dependent on overseas currency and overseas currency is dependent on overseas currency and overseas currency is partly coming in from trading of things like soybeans but also investment, and if those flows are cut off because people are worried about brazilian policies, that will make a difference. 0n the other side, if they can do things that will carbon offset, it will attract flows from that side as well. what about meat? large areas of land are being cleared for meat farming with huge demand from china. that's right. there's two aspects, there's not just the fan such like but also the soybeans to feed animals. what's interesting is here we are seeing changing habits. in the us in the last 30 years, beef consumption has stabilised and it's been dominated by chicken consumption. it's one seventh of the c02 resource to manufacture compared to beef. how

trump's resort in palm beach will be their permanent residence. this means that in no particular order florida will now be home to hurricanes, manatees, joe stone crab, the everglades, rick wilson, anything in orlando, the kennedy space center, jeb bush, the daytona 500, and donald trump. it's a lot. the move may have been motivated by some sort of nexus of his deep unpopularity in his home state of new york. governor tonight wished him good riddance. and more likely the tax savings. the top rate in new york state is 9%. new york city, 4%. and new york city has bill de blasio, so three more reasons why the trumps may see florida as a win-win. and starting tonight floridians have time to adjust to the thought. richard nixon certainly loved it down there, and harry truman before him. but this time might just be different. that is our broadcast for a thursday evening. thank you so very much for being with us. good night from our nbc headquarters here in new york. . >>> history made on capitol hill, the house took a symbolic step forward in the impeac

deforestation for palm oil plantations is a major contributor to climatete change. in spain, thousands of protesters took to the streets monday after a barcelolona court decided to convict five men accused of gang-rapiping an unconscious 14-year-old girl of the lesser charge of sexual abuse and sentenced them to 10 to 12 years in prison. and sentenced them to 10 to 12 years in prison. thursday's sentencing came after the judges ruled that because the adolescent girl was unconscious and under the influence of alcohol and marijuana, the men did not have to use physical violence or intimidation -- which are requirements under spanish law for a crime to be considered rape or sexual assault. this is one of the protesters, elia. >> it is clear they have to change it in the charges of the law or both. a 14 euro girl is unconscious, it doesn't matter. she gets raped by five people because one is masturbating? there are judgdges who say thats abuse? i find that incredible. amy: united nations refugee agency is warning the migigratin land route across africa is even more dead
