nbc responds to our consumers. >> chris chmura wants to share victories from our responds and responde files. >> good morning, for more than three years we've worked closely with our colleaguing at telemundo 48 responde to assist with our consumers throughout the community. we put more than $3.9 million back into our viewers' pockets. let's talk about some recent additions to that total, starting with leslie in san jose seeing red ink in a dispute over a newspaper delivery. our "nbc bay area responds" team helped her get back $122.71. at telemundo 48 responde guadalupe and norma in hayward ran into a dispute way jeweler. arlen fernandez and her team helped them get back $2,851.31. we'd love to try and help you, too. call us any time, 888-996-tips for the nbc tipline or 844-408-4848 for telemundo. have a great weekend. >> you, too, chris. >>> how about this for great? we're less than a year away from the 2020 olympics in tokyo and simone biles continues to shine. look at her go. superstar gymnast has won another gold medal at the world championships. she dominated yesterday in germany,

that having a respondent that has done over water construction with the minimum qualifications. so i'm going down a different rabbit hole. >> i can respond to that one while you decide who is coming up for the next question. so over water construction is definitely a value to the port and a preferred qualifications. however, if we require over water qualifications, we are really limiting the pool. so we are trying to thread the needle of getting minimum qualifications that really reflect what a developer and partners would need to pull off a successful project without unnecessarily limiting bidders from competing and being successful. because there are few developers who have done overwater work here at the port. and they would have -- if we put that in, we would be limiting ourselves to that pool or having done overwater construction in other areas. so we felt that we didn't want to preclude successful respondents what had done other kinds of projects successfully, had a wonderful project approach, had financial capacity. so that's why it's not in there. >> so how we do other p

it is hard to respond to. now we received complaints two weekends in a row we will coordinate an inspector to determine if they need a permit for this and what has happened. inspector roberts is in contact with the complaints, and we are doing our best to respond when we have people in the field. moving on page 12. virgin hotel. the inspector went to conduct a routine site inspection and this is a complaint i will let you know this came in on sunday after he responded -- excuse me. this came in on sunday after he conducted the routine site inspection on saturday night. we have been receiving complaints about this location specific to the rooftop bar. on saturday night when the inspector went to do the site inspection he did find the dj after 10:00 p.m. it was close to midnight. it only allows entertainment on the roof until 10:00 p.m. they were issued a notice of violation for this. financi want to bring to your attention there was an outdoor event that happened with quite a few complaints about it. we did con

they failed to respond themselves. they went to a closed area. they didn't even have permission to enter that property. they started creeping around and created a deadly situation. the idea they have blasted images of a firearm across the internet is obscene. of course a family owns a firearm. of course firearms are used to protect individuals from predators prowling about their property. that's only common sense. they created a deadly situation and they responded in a way that is not unique to the city of ft. worth. in the last six months, they've had ten police officer-involved shootings, seven officer-involved deaths. that's more than most nations for a single city in texas. it represents a serious problem that must be addressed. so, of course, this family is calling for the firing of this officer. that's benign. that's the least we should expect. they're calling for this officer to be vigorously prosecuted, to be appropriately sentenced. that prosecution, the investigation should be handled by someone other than the ft. worth police departmen

i've struggled over the last couple of months as my office is focused on how we can better respond as a city and how organizations can respond and get immediate and up-to-date data on what is happening. i know many of us get text messages when someone is killed tragically by homicide or by a car. we don't have that level of attention or responsiveness when it comes to people who die of overdoses, and i think as a result, we are not doing enough to prevent those from happening in the first place, to understand when there are certain patterns and more people being victims of overdoses, and how we as a city, not just as supervisors, not just as the department of public health, but community organizations can respond immediately when people are dieing of this epidemic. our legislation would require monthly reporting by the chief medical examiner who will produce a report stating the number of individuals that the medical examiner determined to have died from causes related to drug overdose. the report will provide the person's race, ethnicity, age, and sex, the drug or drugs that contribu

how do you respond?> if impeachment is driven by these hyperpartisan interests, it will further divide a terribly already divided country. calls for impeachment began shortly after trump won his election. and as unhappy as that may make us as democrats, he won that election in 2016. the serious issues that have been raised around this phone call that he had with the president of ukraine and many other things that transpired around that are what cause me to support the inquiry in the house. and i think that it should continue to play its course out, to gather all the information, provide that to the american people, recognizing that that is the only way forward. if the house votes to impeach the senate does not vote to remove donald trump. he walks out and he feels exonerated, furtheren deeper the divides in this country that we cannot afford. >> thank you, congresswoman. mr. steyer, you've, calling for impeachment for two years. does there need to be bipartisan support? >> well, anderson, this is my firs

they're trying to respond immediately. they're trying to calm the community which is frustrated in the past with the way the police handle these kinds of cases. we faux had that aaron dean is out on bail. wi we know that this criminal investigation is still ongoing. and there's an potential fbi investigation that hasn't been launched yesterday. they've reached out to the fbi. they want a civil rights investigation. we're going to wait to see if the federal investigation is going to take place here. >> commissioner, one thing i think is most important is not just the questions, the concern, and the outrage that's happened among the community, but also big questions this raises, important questions this raises across the country once again and the police during this news conference addressed it. he talked directly to it when he said it's like ants trying to build something up together and it takes just one person to bring a hose to wash it all away and start back in square one. i think there are a lot of people in this commu

-- haiti earthquake when they responded there. so that was satisfying to hear that from them. the recruit class started on october 7. we completed two weeks of ems training. and members of 49 joined the class this monday. we lost the recruit on the ems portion so we have 55 remaining for the class. we have an attrition rate that's normal for classes. so hopefully we keep it low. it's going full boar and i'm getting the reports from them too. we have several classes scheduled for the fall. confined space rescue class tech class which is a repetition of the one we did a few months ago. right now we have a new module, pge is helping us. so they have been very good with us and helping us identifying and helping us train every couple years to do that. the annual drill, very helpful. this year it included a portion about public safety shutdowns. so they had a small session where they were talking about helping those folks that depend on mechanical and electrical devices to survive ventilators, they can go there and identify the devices

the country responded itself. researchers responded. people in the community responded. people in churches responded. actually there was a great deal of caring that went out and as devastating as it was in san francisco, it wasn't nearly as bad as people were worried about. and that was really as a result of the work and caring that people put in. >> our next question is from carter brown. he was fired from his job in texas after his coworkers discovered he was transgender. he started an organization for black transgender men like hips. your question. >> good evening. >> carter. >> today at least 19 black transgender women were murdered in the u.s. this year. antitransgender violence is an epidemic that many transgender americans believe is not only largely due to lack of protection but extreme lack of prosecution of the horrific crimes. specifically what will you do to ensure that law enforcement and the judicial system prioritize penalizing the crimes and violence and murder against transgender citizens as hate crimes? >> so, carter, there is nothing that i can think o

and sunland doesn't respond no. instead, he responds call me. and with the other text that taylor is shocked and upset, it's crazy, he said, to whole military aid in order to get the ukrainians to investigate a political point, there is a lag time from when sunland responds may have been due to the time changes. but then he comes back with what looks to be something that was sort of written or shaped by trump himself, that there is no quid pro quo, and from now on you're going to need to call me. it doesn't look good for the president. it does look that sunland was aware that this looked particularly shady and he was trying to ensure that communications moved away from texts where they could be seen. >> you'll remember candidate trump famously asked russia to look for hillary clinton's emails. now the u.s. president in an unprecedented move urging other nations, ukraine and china, to investigate joe biden and his son and now the new ukraine prosecutor plans to audit cases overseen by his predecessors. biden has spoken out about this and he didn'

thank you for the first responders, many of whom risked their lives.hank you also for the individuals who are not first responders, but who stepped out. they let god work in them. they have been blessed since this time -- since that time with the divine intervention of our god. our god has given us civic leaders who make sure that our rooms are safe. we continue to ask for divine intervention of that god to give us leaders to provide for emergency services, to provide for the welfare and the well-being of the citizens and the guests of the city of san francisco, and we thank god for their continued vigilance to be prepared for all those occasions may god keep us all safe and may the next 30 years be safer than it was 30 years ago on this date now i have the great privilege of introducing maryland and breed.

we'll take our guidance from them how we respond. pompeo says he has a mission and objectives to focus on in ukraine. >>> mike pence is defending the administration's actions on ukraine. but says he never discussed joe or hunter biden with zelensky. he was asked if he knew that president trump asked the ukrainian leader asked to investigate his political rival, the bidens. >> our discussions internally, the president, our team, in my office, we were focused on the broader issues of the lack of support and corruption. >> he said he would release his calls with zelensky. it was focused on ending corruption in ukraine. >>> more than half of all voters want trump impeached and removed from office. 51% want the president out. and 4% want him impeached but not removed. 40% oppose impeachment altogether. the numbers are trending in the wrong direction for the president. it's up 4 points for democrats, 5 among republicans. >>> explosive new allegations against president trump according to bloomberg news. the president asked then-secretary of

idi don't know if there's any context to respond to. i think it could be grounded but that could be my comments. >> i disagree with that analysis. first of all, we're designing the building, which i don't think we're supposed to be done. i think we're analyzing whether these particular alternatives are appropriate for the project and i disagree. i think the partial alternative -- the partial project alternative is exactly the same as the project. i mean, i get it there's not a big tower on top of it, but there needs to be a partial preservation alternative dust dt different from the project. whether it has a cornice, it's still the project proposed. i don't think this meets what we are to review. we have the full preservation alternative, the no project alternative but we don't have any partial alternative that meets the requirements of what it is supposed to do as being different from the project. we started chewing away at it and the whole deal blew up and now we have nothing and i saw the rendering of the project that's going at 450

and if so what stimuli do they respond to. mimosa plants respond to contacts by folding up their leaves. in an experiment placed a mimosa in the dark after a while she then switched the light on which through no response then she started to jab the leaves which immediately closed up. she repeated this process again and again light on and then jam. then she switched the light on but left the leaves alone and they folded up straight away anyhow it would appear the planted learn to associate light with physical damage and the response remained long after the experiment was stopped. but biologists still can't agree on whether this constitutes the ability to learn. even meet somebody humans i find it annoying when someone tells me i can't cool this form of pavlovian learning real learning because there's a set definition and it applies here and. another experiment do plants make decisions for example when competing for access to daylight here a plant called creeping sync foil has been surrounded by strips of colored plastic like le

can the mayor respond?> i don't think the american people are wrong when they say that what they want is a choice. the choice of medicare for all who want it, which is affordable for everyone, because we make sure that the subsidies are in place, allows you to get that health care. it's just better than medicare for all whether you want it or not. i don't understand why you believe the only way to deliver affordable coverage is to obliterate private plans. we could achieve that same big, bold goal and once again, we have a president that we're competing to be president for the day after trump. our country will be polarized, more than now, after everything we have been through, after everything we are about to go through, this country will be more divide. why divide this country over health care when there's a better way to deliver coverage for all? >> senator sanders? >> somebody who wrote the damn bill, as i said, let's be clear. under the medicare for all bill that i wrote, premiums are gone. co-payments
