richardson: i don't think so. i believe that the finis definin of denuclearizdeion for both is different. for the united states it is dismantling his weapons. he is not going to do that. he may freeze them. and then he ll probably haggle a lot on inspections and verification. that is where we shouldn't let him off the hook. but maybe long-term denuclearization he is ready to do, but if that is thease he is going to ask for a lot in return. if we thought the marshall plan was very costly after wod war ii, wait until you hear what the north koreans ask for. christian: do you think, in thef wordonald trump, kim jong-un is truly an open and honorable man? mr. richardson: well, you know, he goes from one extreme to the other. this is what is dangerous -- whatever the president is feeling as he is tweeting, that is not how you conduct foreign policy. i don't think necessarily those characterizations are accurate either way. when kim jong-un has become an -- what kim jong-un has done is be,me an international pari rabble

safai: sorry commissioner richardson. i was scrolling down too quickly. >> thank you. good afternoon. congratulations on the italian heritage. a great day for san francisco. i am linda richardson. i wanted to gratitude for allowing many me -- me to serve. i want to thank the board of supervisors for always helping us with the development of treasure island and the other islands. a little background, i have an extensive background in land use, planning, transportation, sustainable development over two decades. i was privileged to serve on the san francisco planning commission. a lot of the projects that you see today in the city i had the privilege of implementing policy and making sure those projects were implemented on time and according to the rules and policy that the board of supervisors have laid out. i also served on the bay conservation development commission, a state agency. i was honored to be appointed by the governor of california. we oversee the nine bay area counties. that experience there, members of the boa

admiral richardson? >> senator inhofe and ranking member reid and distinguished members of the committee, thank you for the opportunity to testify today to discuss our navy. and i'm honored to be here with secretary spencer and general neller, two great leaders with whom i'm working to increase the war-fighting lethality and readiness of our navy marine corps team. that navy marine corps team is the nation's response force. and a strong and responsive navy matters to america's security and economic prosperity now more than ever. as our national defense strategy makes clear, more naval power is essential in a new era of great power competition. with the rising china and resurgent russia, america no longer can enjoy a monopoly sea power or sea control. meanwhile, regimes like north korea and iran threaten global stability. given these challenges, it's absolutely critical that we increase american naval power with a sense of urgency, just as secretary spencer said. every day we must iran our place as the wo

policies towards the conflict since the war began in march two thousand and eleven claire richardson reports. what started as a popular uprising against a brutal dictatorship quickly spiraled into something far more complicated when protests in syria began in march twentieth eleven the government responded with a heavy handed crackdown by the end of the summer and then president barack obama had called on president bashar al assad to step down. but the fighting quickly turned into a full blown civil war. in august of two thousand and twelve president barack obama drew his famous red line for syria warning president bashar al assad that if his government used chemical weapons there would be an enormous price to pay in august of the following year it appeared that line had been crossed. hundreds of people suffocated in rebel controlled neighborhoods around to moscow's foaming at the mouth and suffering convulsions. in. the u.s. plane the syrian government the only party known to have access to sarin gas but instead of directly ordering military strikes obama asked congress for approval

i think the other services and admiral richardson spoke to the same thing.e will comply with that exercise and we will use the exercise as an experiment. whether it be autonomous ships or drones under the water to find mines or pathways or destroy mines unmanned aircraft provide radio relay electronic warfare or isr. all those things are going on and we realize we need to go faster. as was mentioned about the development technology in the commercial world we all have sponsors in silicon valley who maintain contacts through the dlx but there's also one in boston developed by secretary carter. we have are cognizant of what's out there so we know what's happening and we look at these different technologies and we take a chance and we make a bunch of small bets and if any of it works we look at the marines and they say this is good and then we will try to figure out how we will put money down on it and further develop it. >> thank you general. appreciate it. >> senator sewell then. >> thank you very much. very much appreciate your fine leadership as demonstrated

i'm here to support the reappointment of linda richardson. you have three fantastic candidates that bring their life experiences and background and stellar credentials including linda richardson as president of adr continental group, a full servicewomen-owned company. she has expertise in land use planning, workforce training and as a board member of the african-american chamber of commerce and on the southeast alliance for environmental justice she has really brought an important voice to the table. i hope you will approve for reappointment. thank you. >> commissioner safai: thank you. any other public comments? seeing none it's closed. thank you commissioner richardson for all your commitment to serve again sand your wonderful qualifications. so can we entertain a motion? i think it's your turn commissioner yee. >> commissioner yee: sure. i'd like to make a motion to amend -- approving to state that we support for approving the mayor's nomination for reappointment of linda richardson and pass it on the committee with a positive recommendati

gente the balance in senior management i spoke to china director of human rights watch and sophie richardson if the report cherry picks the bad examples ignoring the progress made i think even one is too mad again and it's probably safe to say that it was not hard for us to find multiple versions of these ads from each of those companies over the span of about five years but equally problematic our government's own civil service job listings and we noted that in twenty seventeen about thirteen percent of those that. stipulated a preference or requirement for men only and in twenty eighteen that actually went up to nineteen percent almost one in every five government job that said it was for men only is put bundu for example one of the companies that you cite says that almost home and senior in mid-level managers are women so the progress although those ads that were mentioned terrible the progress also needs to be emphasized yet amazing how many of these companies have offered that up as some sort of credible explanation or justification for even going to get out there just criminals or even

and the latest from washington we're joined now by clare richardson and in studio we have analysts and journalists. and then turn first of all to you claire and president trump has said earlier that the u.s. was prepared to continue strikes until the syrian regime stopped using chemical weapons but let's just have a listen to wast defense secretary james mattis said when asked about whether there'd be more strikes. that will depend on mr a sawed do use more chemical weapons in the future but right now this is a one time shot and i believe that it showed a very strong message to dissuade to deter him from doing this again. is there a lack of consensus here what exactly is the strategy fair well the short term strategy is to send a message to assad that the international community will not stand by as a government passes its own people however it's not clear what the longer term plan is for the united states these missile strikes are unlikely to change the fear of the fighting on the ground in a significant way the united states is not looking for real change here and of course this is a

let's go to washington where correspondent claire richardson is standing by clare it's been just hours since we heard about this attack but why has the u.s. been so quick to get involved here hi michelle you have the u.s. state department was quick to respond to say that it's monitoring these reports and significantly they've called for an immediate response from the international community as well as criticize russia for its ongoing support of bashar al assad's regime now it they said that it is russia who is ultimately responsible for this possible chemical weapons attack because of its continued support for the syrian government and its perhaps its strongest ally so now this all puts donald trump in a rather sticky situation if you'll remember just last week he said he wanted to pull all u.s. troops out of syria but didn't offer a clear timeline of when he was going to do it so now we're seeing him on twitter calling it the chemical weapons attack and atrocity also criticizing former president barack obama for not using military force after evidence that the syrian

our correspondent claire richardson is standing by good evening to you clear are we expecting any major developments on north korea to come out of this meeting with. hi branch well we can generally expect to see trump trying to offer some kind of assurances to japan that they're not going to be left out of the loop when it comes to negotiations with north korea that's been the issue that's really been hanging over this meeting are they and trump of had a pretty good relationship today ahead of this particular meeting trumbull calls ave a quote truly fine gentleman but this is clearly the elephant in the room and if trump does have this sit down at meeting with the north korean leader kim jong un it would be the first of its kind the first time you would see a sitting u.s. president holding a face to face meeting with a north korean leader he's already said in his meeting with a that the u.s. is considering a five possible locations for such a meeting that could be a neutral third country in europe it could be islands off of south korea it could even be in the united states and he also h

it used to washington a corresponding clear richardson is on the story for years tonight good evening to you clear the world looking at this story and asking why has the democratic national committee decided to do that now we already know the special prosecutor mr mole or he's still investigating allegations of collusion. this a lawsuit is the biggest escalation we've seen from the democratic party in trying to get to the bottom of a legit russian election meddling in the twenty six and elections and possible nation with the trump campaign so they're trying to remind voters of this issue now ahead of november's midterm elections which are coming up in just over six months the democrats are looking to take back control of congress from the republicans then and they're using this as a way to remind voters of the whole issue of russian meddling now as you say this lawsuit is happening as an aside it to robert miller's investigation into whether there was collusion between the trunk campaign and russia the democrats are hoping that this is separate lawsuit will give them an opportunity to

the area police are calling this an active situation we want to pull in our correspondent claire richardson she is in the us following this claire what more can you tell us. well we're just hearing brant that police have confirmed there is funding to an active shooter situation in san bruno at the you tube headquarters san bruno is of course a city that's just south of san francisco in the bay area right next to the san francisco international airport we know that some people have been evacuated that many of the employees are out on the street we heard one of those employees before he was evacuated when it went on twitter to describe the situation that he was seeing inside he said heard shots and saki people running while at my desk now barricaded inside a room with coworkers he clarified sense and made it out to safety but as far as we know the suspect or the suspects are not in custody we're seeing police frisk lots of employees there of course concerns that this could be a similar situation to what we saw at the school massacre in parklane florida just over a month ago when the shooter d

i washington correspondent claire richardson is one of the protests in the u.s. capital clara what was the turnout like today. hi-lo we saw a couple hundred people here today which really pales in comparison to make kind of turnout that we've seen in the past from these national demonstrations remember this was the third nationwide effort to really draw attention to the issue of students demanding more gun control we saw the march for our lives protest in march and another national school walkout also earlier in march and those really drew much larger crowds in what we saw today and that being said it is an effort for people to walk out of their classrooms the people who made it out here to the u.s. capitol where just a small subsection however like i said it was not such a strong showing right so what does that mean does that mean that the movement is running out of steam. and certainly the national attention seems to be starting to shift away from this issue but not necessarily joe i don't think it necessarily means that the movement has run out of steam the re

and children ok let's get the very latest now from washington we're joined by did abuse claire richardson here in the studio we have analysts and journalists yakob oh i see morning to both of you thanks for being with us i clarify to start with you president from said earlier that the u.s. was prepared to continue strikes and toll syria as he put it stop its use of chemical weapons but the fence secretary james madison saying this could be yet let's give a listen to what he said. that will depend on mr assad should he decide to use more chemical weapons in the future but right now this is a one time shot and i believe that is send a very strong message to dissuade him to deter him from doing this again. what's the strategy here is the intention to keep damascus and moscow guessing about what washington's intentions are. hi brian well the immediate goal is to punish assad for these chemical weapons attacks and to send a strong message that the international community will not stand by as a government gases its own people it's not clear however what the long term strategy here really is and

the united states looks no closer to a serious plan to stop the konitz we're back with claire richardson in washington and colleague here in the studio claire first to you what are the u.s. a strategic goals in syria callie was saying it doesn't really have any overriding interest there. it certainly doesn't clear that seem clear that there is a long term plan on syria and it's been one of the toughest foreign policy problems for the united states both a president obama and president trump have waffled on the issue for example in the as we saw in the report that i just filed of president obama was roundly criticized for drawing a red line against the use of chemical weapons and then after it became apparent that they all said regime had in fact used them he did not take military action similarly we've seen trump go back and forth earlier this month he was he ordered the military to bring home american troops in syria and he was clearly at odds with his military advisers in this regard they are wary of thinking of what happened in iraq and afghanistan and they want to stay in the country

in a supportive housing environment with wraparound services, as i said, the richardson apartments is a perfect example of how it could work. this bill also provides us with another tool in order to address those issues. sb1045 creates a conservatorship provides housing with supportive services. under the bill, the department of public health, the sheriff's department and general hospital can recommend that a person is conserved who is chronically homeless and suffering from serious mental illness or substance abuse disorder, which results in frequent visits to the emergency room, attention by police under a 5150 hold or frequent psychiatric evaluations. if approved by a judge, the individual would then be compelled to stay in supportive housing and receive wraparound services for up to one year with the opportunity to petition every month for review. this bill will give san francisco more tools to actually make a difference for those we see who are suffering on our streets every day with the most acute mental health and substance abuse issues. sb1045 is currently moving through the s

governor richardson said it's a gamble worth taking.'t be worse. they have ballistic nuclear missiles. the two sides facing off against each other and us troops on the southern side of the peninsula. you have to do something. he thinks president trump has moved them in the right direction. ght donald trump said he's prepared to walk. if he gets up and walks out of the room. where else do they go? donald trump's aides have fought for months to keep him from doing what he did this morning. the president called into fox news and spoke for so long, the anchors struggled to get him off their show. it was a half hour stream of grievances from a president who gave himself an a+ approval rating, and almost everyone else a fail for the way he's being treated. in increasingly heated tones, mr trump attacked his own justice department, the special counsel investigation, the fired head of the fbi, the press. fair to say, he wasn't really happy with anyone. have a listen. and you look at the corruption at the top of the fbi, it's a disgrace. and our

in washington, our correspondent clare richardson is standing by. clare, your impression.ow is this second meeting between trump and merkel? clare: as you say, it was in some ways a lot warmer than expected. we saw him welcome her with kisses on the cheek. it had been widely expected that this was going to be a stiff meeting, all business, no pleasure for chancellor angela merkel. her visit udc stands in stark contrast to what we saw this week with french president emmanuel macron. she is only here for 24 hours. after the press conference she will be going to the residence of the german ambassador and back on a plane to berlin before dinnertime. that really is a far lavish pomd circumstance that we saw earlier this week. they are really trying to show that there is some kind of working relationship that still exists. the two leaders were cordial. we heard her in the press conference say things that were in some ways quite deferential to trump, that ultimately he would be deciding some of the biggest issues that she came to negotiate -- namely, the iran deal and securing an

brent: our correspondent claire richardson is on the story in washington. good evening to you.have the u.s. president saying he's going to pull in the military to secure the border. the southern border with mexico. what has been the reaction so far? claire: the reaction is to why has this issue gotten under donald trump's skin right now his promise to build what he calls a big, beautiful border wall was one of his key campaign promises but he has been largely silent about the issue over the last couple weeks, until this weekend when he went on a flurry of tweets accusing these migrants that we saw in that last report of coming up to the u.s. border. he said they were coming to take advantage of the program daca, which is nonsense because they would not be eligible for it. the question is likely feel so threatened by this migrant group. as we heard, it is a protest they have done for years. they are protesting the conditions that they faced going along the route in mexico trying to reach the u.s. the possibility of death and kidnapping. they are mostly migrants from honduras, wh

and they walked away hand in hand all right how to read that i'm joined tonight by claire richardson in washington she's covering that end of the story and here at the big table with me is medline he is at the big table so good to see you again as well i want to take this story over there to clear in washington to begin with clearly we did the big stories today really there are two big stories you got from what he said and mccraw on what he apparently did didn't act wrong just school or a diplomatic touch stale and when it comes to influencing the u.s. president donald trump. hi brenda well after the press conference we saw between the two leaders it certainly doesn't look like a touchdown from across remember he's in d.c. trying to butter out donald trump to get him to see eye to eye on several policies that france wants to see from the united states with regards to things like military action in syria a way to find a long term exemption from steel and aluminum tariffs that were announced in march and of course for the iran nuclear deal now has been on this charm offensive the idea

richardson at the white house tonight it's clear thank you. well the british historian timothy garton ash generated headlines with his commentaries on the role of uncle americal as the new defender of the western liberal world the w.'s reproducer vald spoke with him about what influence america can have on the us president is there anything that she can do now that french president macron has failed to change trump's mind about iran i think micro did a fantastic job but i think there's still a lot for magical to do the style will be very different much less spectacular. less hugging and kissing probably but in substance to keep repeating the key european positions for multilateralism and also particularly given the danger of a trade war i think the german voice expressed transfer machall is still very important first we saw the bromance between trump and mark colvin the very open words of the french president how difficult is this fungal americal so if you remember there was a lot of speculation about whether i'm the leader of the free world r

increasingly beleaguered president who is morally unfit to be president and correspondent claire richardson as following the latest developments from washington so clear what is really going on here in this spot between coming in trouble. hi sara well this was a highly anticipated and your view and a lot of it goes down to the key question of james comey his credibility and he's being treated and the case is being treated and how you see him as a character obviously he's someone who was fired by trump this time last year from his role as f.b.i. director he's also someone who has a book coming out tomorrow in which he will be trying to sell more copies so you can see from that angle that this is all something that he's saying to try and get more views but it should be said that komi is someone who is widely seen by both democrats and republicans as a respectable character he's in fact a career long republican himself and he's often seen as this sort of square jawed face of the law who's above partisan politics whatever you do say it's a remarkably a damning assessment from someone who held a

bard college here in berlin and tonight in washington on the story for us our correspondent clear richardson to both of you welcome i would like for us to start with reaction from u.s. president trump today with the u.s. olympic and paralympic teams at the white house trunk connected the winter olympics in south korea with today's meeting of the two korean leaders take a look. it was saying that was in a possibility he said there were two alternatives let them have what they have or go to war and now we have a much better alternative than anybody thought even possible i'll be meeting with kim jong un in the coming weeks as we seek to denuclearize the north korean area and the entire korean peninsula hopefully the day will come when elliptic athletes can compete on a korean peninsula that is free of nuclear weapons and we're all koreans can live together and can share their dreams you know wonderful thing to do all right claire does the u.s. president does he deserve credit or part of the credit for this incredibly fast turn of events between the two koreas. well this is certainly an astonish

richardson is in washington a french journalist and is a better mood today is in paris welcome to you or let's start with you pavel felgenhauer in moscow so russia says britain states this gas attack in eastern kuta how much of that statement do you believe. no i don't believe the poems i believe this is current well are. rather senseless and. one of the up are. things they are read most are. over dr this is. who i mean that's my but that's the current style and i don't mean a russian proper. russian. diplomatic service they are use the rank your arguments got there and actually when russia has a point when russian officials are say the norm no one now believes not much because they get in line. and i. know you're wrong. keep at least some semblance of our president and his of move and elisabetta in paris president ma kroll says he has proof that the chemical attack in duma happened why should we believe him any more we believe the russians well the russians have got a dog in this fight i mean their own ground the culture mustn't the troops they've got. at stake. we all triple in time

that was our washington correspondent claire richardson there now diplomatic tensions between russia and the west are heating up this time it's about industrial espionage and sabotage against iran it's not pleasant of the u.s. and britain have accused russia of in a joint declaration they say moscow is preparing cyber attacks on computer networks that could be used to sabotage critical infrastructure that the statement says is also using the internet for political and economic as. russia denies the allegations but western security experts are warning a new cold war in cyberspace is in full swing. the hacking accusations against russia came at a rare joint statement the british and u.s. cyber agency said russia could be laying the foundation for future offensive cyber attacks they warned that hackers backed by the russian government were targeting government and private computer networks the hackers aim to compromise key hardware like routers and fire walls that would give them virtual control of data flows allowing them to steal critical data and plant the ability to carry out cyber

correspondent claire richardson is standing by in washington. is standing by the russian. i have a question for. a u.s. strike against russian forces in syria how credible is this threat president truong clear i'll start with you. at this point a military strike certainly seems like a real possibility and if trump decides to go this route it won't be the first time that his administration has carried out strikes on syria if you remember it was just about a year ago this time of year that the united states took its first military action against syria striking an air base in an effort to punish the assad regime for what was widely seemed to be as a nother chemical attack so the question becomes if this ad hoc attack that we saw last year was clearly ineffective as a deterrence to prevent it from using chemical weapons against his own people then what would it be about a strike again a single one off shot that could potentially change his calculation this time around and it's also unclear what trends long term plan on syria really is if you remember it was just earlier this m
