and secondly that he faced persecution. that he'd be put into a cage for the next several decades by virtue of his whistleblowing activities which are heralded around the world. neither of those two grounds has changed. the russians have indicated publicly and in other ways they intend to extend his asylum and so i think the chances that mr. snowden will end up in u.s. custody and anything resembling the near future is very, very low. basically nonexistent. >> do you personally feel that he faces persecution? >> he definitely faces

secondly, you have to make sure you streamline the illegal immigration process. it takes too long to go through that process. thirdly, you have to crack down on employers who are out there hiring these undocumented immigrants and give a path to citizenship. >> i want to add one more thing. hold the countries accountable. you have to put fines in mexico and fines in guatemala and fines in colombia. take some of the aid away and use it to help the children that are now at the border. >> great discussion with the three of you, gentlemen. thank you so much. >>> time to check in with harris. >> drama inside a texas courtroom as even hearing the words of justice were apparently too much for the man accused of killing six members of his ex-wife's family including four children. the minute the charges were read, this guy hit the floor. prosecutors saying it must have been too much reality for him. this coming as we learn more horrifying details of what happened including now investigators saying that man had attacked his own mother. that's all ahead in the next hour. gre

all a ukrainian fighter jet flying close to the malaysian airliner at the time of the incident and secondly, satellite images of the buk missile launches that they say belong to the ukrainian military at the time and days before the attack. they said to kiev, what is this? why are we being blamed when all the evidence points to you? the intelligence is sketchy and doesn't add up to one view. the russian position and the position of the people is that kiev is not to be trusted. the pro-russian separatists are fighting a legitimate war on behalf of the people in the east who feel more closely affiliated with russia than not. it is hard to imagine the russian president backing down from that position and changing his story. he is extremely popular right now. the crimea annexation has seen his popularity soar. he's not going to back down and say hey, sorry, maybe we are culpable. it is the pressure he can bear on the separatists in the u.s. and the west in form of sanctions, trying to bring to bat, to massage the situation so a, we get answers on the plane crash and secondly, the conflict can b

tobacco and liquor advisement on stores that face into the neighborhoods some of out inclines but secondly, it make me think about why do we put this into place why allow the advertising for a loophole >> at least a number of the members of the board we all postdate 1965 when the definition was crafted our working assumes thas has been that everyday when we walk by a store in the tenderloin and see dan's liquor store and a or whatever and ofrnlts see a somewhat sign for coca-cola our understanding the amenity has been induced and helping the business afford business opportunities and the branding it might not otherwise get supervisor wiener suggested there are shifts but in our estimation we allow a by sign to allow the business to present itself to its business and gain the attraction and support the business. >> in the time that sorry i realize it's confusing us with the ordinance sign it's much older than that. in the interim period can we talk about the business signage we want to allow if it's true it snbz are getting a benefit you you know, i want to be able to consider the impact it

she's business owner back on board and really involved in developing the rockefeller gallery, and, secondly, i spent time in mistake city i was born there and served as the general council of the united states and spent time with the president of the mexican we planned about what we're going to do with the museum and we worked on a program between the national university of the mexico they're to share materials and provide a artist and residence once a month an artist comes up with a sculpture or indigital art be at the museum doing master classes and working with schools the second part of the arrangement they'll borrow cabinets of ours to mexico and third we're in a unique situation they've development with the secretary of mexico you take one the murals and point the cursor to the character it will be offended to the schools mexico spend $20 million developing it we'll geting it for free the president of mexico is coming up on a private visit he wanted to be here for the groundbreaking and thirdly, we got as a result of that he insisted i make a correction with the daughter of diego rive

secondly, he said, come back at the end of july. i want you to bring your menu, and we will start picking from that menu of things i can do is -- as president of the united states to alleviate, right? if the house doesn't act. i believe he always believed that john boehner was his partner on this. >> now that he hasn't and you're going back at the end of july, you're going to tell them what you expect him to do. would that include -- could he grant work permits to all those undocumenteds, do think he could do that by executive action? >> i think he can begin to do it and i think he can reach that goal, yes. >> you start small and build up? >> i think he can reach all of them. i think we should have some conversations. i don't want to preclude what the president -- the president said this is the beginning, even if it is the end. just in case someone comes up with another idea. this is a new area, right? i think this is a moment for the president to stand up and say, the country believes we should reform our immigration system. 68 sen

secondly, with the reporter to the flower market there's 3 ownership groups the announcement in the paper was the purchase of two of those. so what is then the third a separate purchase not announced by a different buyer i should say so there's a lot of discussions we're organizing the meetings as well and one of the discussion points all or part of the functions should be there or relocated so we'll looking at issue. the good news that morning the mayor signed the legislation schlage lock to allow that project to move forward. there was a signing ceremony that involved several members of the community that worked on this for 15 years so at long last with the dissolution with the redevelopment agency that threw us for a loop so we're pleased hopefully, this will move forward within a year or so that concludes my presentation. thank you >> thank you, commissioners item 8 review of past font no preservation meeting. >> good morning aaron starr this week we've heard the mac open street terminating from the 3 t zoning to the new mac open plaza for the plazas under construction the commission

secondly, it's been spoken previously about when we were working with the project sponsor we appreciate that over a number of years they have each time we speak to them please reduce the steps and create a corridor nothing has happened july and october of 2012 and july of 2014. the project sponsor states in this this is a lot of challenging and a here's the building inspectors you see the elevators going into it about thirty feet this is a major project impacts we're concerned about the elevation, of course, at coit tower but if you look at the rear >> thank you your time is up. >> well, thank you. >> one thing. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> there's a gap in the building. >> thank you. 3 and a half feet wide >> your time is up. >> commissioner president wu and commissioners i'm julie i live a little bit over a block in the project and like many of my neighborhood i care about telegraph hill and this site i've been trying to 15 years to interest my neighbors the telegraph hill dwellers i've talked about with the trust of public land our supervisors trying to acquire this site i don't th

and, secondly, you have on your calendar for october 7th - will august 7th a report on prop m and the staff has written editorials and the mayor taken a position i have found for my quest through this records no one has any records i've found under recent almost no information in the department of the relationship between the office and the housing in relation and the transfer fee no one understands three years of community work that went into housing fees, transit fees in the late 60s and 70s and early 80s in addition to report from the plaintiff which didn't know anything at all about the history you ask the people to make reports to the commission. so we don't have to use other comment periods on august 7th which we will do it's important you understand the original origin of laws that are monthlyal policies they came from this side of the ailing so prop m didn't move out of the air on the ballot of november of 86 there has been years of struggle to get a housing fee and transportations fee the fact they're not being impolsz bugs me the most thank you >> is there any additional pub

just a secondly i wanted to report that last tuesday on june 3 during the election proposition b passedy a vote of 59%. you may recall this proposition b requires that any changes in height limits on port property need to be approved by the voters of san francisco and that passed as i said by 59%. and from the port's perspective, the voters have spoken and we will adhere to that. wanted to make sure you were aware of that. next is our annual july 4 festivities, which will include the very, very popular fire works, which is in the waters off of fisherman's wharf. they'll start around 9:00 pm. as part of the 4th of july management, the city will be opening its mersay operations center and the port will be participating in the staffing of that center. we look forward to a happy 4th of july with no labor strikes. excited about that. next is another very fun event, which is a joint venture between the san francisco opera and giants on saturday july 5, as part of the 4th of july weekend. they will be offered a free viewing of [inaudible] which will be transmitted live in hd from the memorial

i speaking about effective control so secondly definitely are. each used to be part of the whole dissolution. if you read the. believe declaration it speaks about about stopping all violence and definitely leading down arms. and we'll let adam is there respected by both sides it is a set fire it is up to that if it is even is not respected them the only alternative is the agreement of the conflict what we see now as we speak is the aggravation of the conflict. and huge increase in the number of civilian casualties so as minister lavrov said that already you know each and every day all of. the without cease fire brings more and more casualties among the civilians because the most vulnerable people in the zone of conflict of the civilians while they are stand apartment spokesperson says that they reason this is for any crane didn't really work out is because the russians have not taken the steps need it for at the end of to implement this is fire they were backed by president par shank a horse a set that russia is not fulfilling its promises what e

secondly, if it does exist, what is its scope and what would out-weigh it in a particular circumstance? remember i said the president was arguing it. it is a privilege. the special prosecutor was arguing it was out-weighed by the interest in obtaining evidence for criminal prosecution. >> william rehnquist recused himself from the initial argument and decision. why? >> it is common practice if a justice has worked on a matter prior to joining the court and rehnquist was in the office of the attorney general, and he had worked on this matter, and it would be common in those circumstances when a lawyer had worked on a matter for one side or the other, and rehnquist had essentially worked for the department of justice and or the president, to take himself out of the case. so his recusing himself was not unusual, it's what lawyers would have expected him to do. >> did it make a difference in the outcome? could it have been an 8-1 decision until instead of a unanimous decision? >> that's one of the things we'll never know. he was not in the case. he did not participate in the argument. he d

secondly, i want to say that the board of trustees seems so untrustworthy to me an outsider that they cannot put something together for these people. they're the most vulnerable among us and i really think they should. and thirdly, i want to say i feel so good coming here. i feel such love. i feel there is love in this room from the family members, but also from the supervisors who are helping us to talk about it because, you know, no man is an island. we're all people and i thank you for that. take care. >> thank you. (applause) >> is there any other member of the public who has not spoken who would like to speak? seeing none, public comment is closed. i'd like to just -- i know that we have another item and there are many people who have been waiting for that item as well. but i want to call back mr. stead lander from the board of directors of university mound. you heard the testimony. you know that the city is going to do everything we can to block you from closing this facility. that means suing you, we will do that. if that means rezoning this area, we will do that. and who knows

the flight from amsterdam to kuala lumpur to sum up the plane diverge from its usual flight path secondly it passed directly over a war zone and finally according to the airline ukrainian traffic controllers requested that the plane reduce its altitude the reasons for that remain unclear we asked former pilot an air traffic controller desmond ross to give us his view point . the first one is the cockpit voice recorder which records the last two hours of all communications and all conversations in the cockpit so that that two hours leading up to the final moments should give us a fairly good indication of what was going on and that may even tell us that us knew nothing about it whatsoever that it just happened frankly there's a couple of things that are a little bit curious about the images that i've been seeing on television when the aircraft was hit and it would have depressurized more or less a mediately if there was a large hole blown in the fuselage or a compact a fuse like scott hogan a sudden decompression of that nature would have been quite calamitous but people who had very few s

secondly, i want to say that the board of trustees seems so untrustworthy to me an outsider that th c

and also, coming out that this has been a cross racial coalition, and we think that it is a model secondly for that, that it is across a group of stake holders and who are outside of the government. and that have successfully implemented or started the implementation activities for something that is persist ent in the city. and so, we will move to the presentation. and the general structure that supervisor cohen mentioned is that i want to give the different information on the contributers in the background and we will give a little bit of a supervisor breed in particular, less of the data and so we will give the data on the snapshot and what we see is the hospitality, and we will turn it over to the colleagues, and findings that we do have the supervisor's request and the suggestions and the thoughts on those steps to the board of supervisors. >> so, in terms of contributers, as supervisor cohen mentioned, this has been a coalition of over 60 leaders representing san francisco community faith based community, that is the sf travel and the naacp and the chamber of commerce from the beginni

process was set up with five working subgroup and committees, excuse me, and the inclusion, and secondly the subcommittees met no less than five times in the period of five months to figure out the implementation of the activities and the cost of neutral way, and we will get to that in terms of the recommendations and this is the development of the technical assistance. i will return for the closing meants but i would like to give to john, to talk about travel and diversity and inclusion. >> thank you. >> it is a pleasure to be here, john from san francisco travel and thank you for calling the hearing. first of all i would like to thank the naacp, the african american chamber, and the organization as well as all of the other organizations that participate and became our partner and we appreciate the partnership because it is through this collaboration that san francisco has been able to improve our efforts and further our mission of attracting visitors to san francisco. when we first began in pro-stes about a year ago at our offices of san francisco's travel, we saw that there were two f

secondly, another thing is that technology is used to bring people together. it's a social networking tool. sometimes you that something and it becomes a little thing you do in your basement or in your house. but soon we trad create network, social networks to bring us computers together. so that's a theme that continues as well. one of the things about this book is things that you thought were totally new, they're actually part of the wonderful progress of a lot of people coming up with ideas. >> were you working or keeping notes for this book as you are working on the job? >> i started this book 10 years ago because i do write it so fast. 10 years ago i was trying to write a book on how the internet came to be. all these unknown people who helped pull it together. when i was working with steve jobs he said, that's interesting but what's more interesting is in the 1970s and 80s, the internet came together at the exact same time personal computers came together. so you should make it a book about the joint connectedness of computers and networks. so i changed

and secondly the u.s. sanctions that have gone out unilaterally in weeks and months, they've hit the russian economy. they certainly don't appear to have stopped putin from doing what he wants. megyn. >> certainly not. ed, good to see you. add ed just mentioned the president took a much more cautious tone today seeming to suggest that this crisis and the solution to it is the job of the russians and ukrainians and not the united states. here are some of those remarks. >> we don't see a u.s. military role beyond what we've already been doing in working with our nato partners and some of the baltic states, giving them reassurances that we are prepared to do whatever is required to meet our alliance obligations. if mr. putin makes a decision that we are not going to allow heavy armaments and the flow of fighters into ukraine across the ukrainian/russian border, then it will stop. and if it stops, then the separatists will still have the capacity to enter into negotiations and try to arrive at this sort of pol

>> secondly, he should not only go to -- what's that? >> hasn't he done that?> if you watched his interview from his press conference from texas last week, you would be hard-pressed to get that message that this president is going to send people home who enter the united states illegally. secondly, if he would not only go to the border but continue south and go to mexico city and meet with the mexican government. after all, if these children are fleeing a bad situation in their home country, as soon as they arrive in mexico, they have escaped that situation. so, what is the responsibility of the mexican government here? first of all, they should be securing their southern border with guatemala. but in addition, they should be working with the united states. the president should insist they do that. and do the same thing with the central american countries. this matter can be addressed if the president exercises leadership and stop not enforcing the law. he doesn't enforce the law. he uses the concept of prosecutorial discretion which is limited to a case, to ap

and eighty's or a russian television station secondly that he was broadcasting in english and so was attracting an english speaking audience and so did finally say so because mr phillips is a very good journalist and was broadcasting things that the ukrainian authorities don't want the world to see and he was doing that as i said in english and that was obviously unacceptable to them so presumably they will be treating other journalists who work for other russian television stations or news media organizations in the same way i find it actually very worrying. well dutch police and investigators have arrived in eastern ukraine to examine the site of the crash of the malaysia airlines plane that came down last week killing all two hundred ninety eight people on board well they haven't reached the scene of the tragedy yet and these are pictures from the netherlands the bodies of the victims have been arriving back in the country from where the ill fated flight departed the flight recorders a colony being examined by experts in the u.k. and the dutch safety board which is leading the int

there's a motion and secondly, please take roll call >> on the recommendation to appoint mr. smith. supervisor breed. supervisor campos. supervisor kim. supervisor mar absent. supervisor yee. that item passes >> thank you. can we please call the next item >> item 67 recommended approval of 14, 2014 prop k 5 year provisions prioritization programs this is an action item. >> any questions from the committee oh, we have a publication. >> i'll be really, really fast. >> maria thank you supervisor kim. this is probably would be one of the most important decisions this is the approval of the is 5 year plans that the prop k savings measure

secondly, there's no empirical evidence for any of these theories. obedient germans, germans had particularly harsh toilet-tending practices and, therefore, were violent. [laughter] it's been argued -- when the freudians get into the act, you've really got to watch out. [laughter] but the biggest problem i have with these theories is they all were invented after the second world war, after we became aware of the holocaust, and i think they reflect the understandable desire to push the holocaust away from ourselves and to say this is not a human problem, it's a german problem. i could not do this because i'm not german. that's, i think, the agenda there. so thank you very much for the question, and i have just time for my concluding remarks. i want to, i want to conclude by posing the question that some of you have touched on a bit in your questions which is what does the holocaust say about us? because, after all, the perpetrators as best we can tell -- and they're a very great majority -- were completely normal psychologically. most of these men, in

i served our country because i was taught traditional service, secondly because i believe in what the nation stands for. >> i think america is a wonderful country with so many opportunities to succeed if we want to. we have the right to say what we want to. i'm very proud of america. july 4th, independence day, america's birthday to celebrate, fox news sent tv crews out across the country to ask the question. why are you proud to be an american? you're going to hear from celebrities on the red carpet and in a ceremony during fleet week, marines and sailors tells why they serve and what makes them proud. contributors will share stories about what america means to them and their families and a memorial day parade with america's big cities and small towns. recent immigrants and people whose families have been here since the first independence day. why they're proud to be american. >> the thing that makes america great are the people. trend mendus spirit and love of the country. >> first country to be founded in the idea that every person was created equal. >> we're all the children of th

and secondly, by avoiding head-to-head conflict. that is a very powerful part of strategy on both sides, certainly during the cold war. now, it was becoming more difficult to live under that kind of umbrella. truman's contributions are significant. they set the stage. they are great indicators of attitudesorld's towards these weapons were, how they would be deployed. we think of the contributions -- i think we think about them in two ways. the truman administration, and their counterpart in the soviet union placed nuclear weapons at the center of the cold war. this becomes a fundamental element in cold war thinking and strategy. it is not a separate question. it is to highly integrated in the discussions of the cold war. secondly, the conceptualization whichatomic monopoly -- was a strong part of early policy in the truman administration, ultimately it had to be abandoned as the soviets began to counteract the american technology with their own. the american cold war consensus -- everyone should think about this a bit. it's not demo

and secondly is, of course, about possible human losses of human life. and our forces exercise extreme restraint. and we actually lost a lot of human lives, a lot of lyes of our -- lives of our military, you know, servicemen during the unilateral ceasefire. so it's not about any sort of ballistic missiles which could be used. and it's an undeclared war against ukraine. ballistic missiles is not -- also in theoretical sense s not in the tool box to address existing challenges. not in any way. >> hi, luke johnson from radio free europe, radio liberty. i wondered, you talk a lot about the european path. i wondered how your country's going to respond to some of the russian economic threats, you know, a dairy ban and so on and so forth along with, you know, coal being a big exporter to russia. how will you respond if those exports are blocked? thanks. >> well, firstly, russia starts talking about problems, after that about challenges, now russia is talking about potential risks. in the implementation of the e.u./ukraine agreement for the trade with russia. it

secondly, denying them a safe haven in syria. that's why we're focusing in on training the moderate opposition and finding a way to control space to isil in syria. and then helping iraqis control their sovereign space in iraq. that's extremely difficult, but that is the three-pronged approach that we have to try to take against this. and the conversations yesterday with the turks led by our deputy secretary and their undersecretary were focused upon that. i think we have a fairly common understanding of the way forward with the turks on this. >> i don't think i have much more to add other than i think they are -- they've been living with the threat emanating from syria for a long time. they are extremely focused on it. they're extremely focused on what's happening in iraq. as a nato ally, we're talking with them every day. so i feel confident we know what they're focused on. >> okay. playing beat the clock. if you could comment again on the revolutionary guard and their influence right now and whether they have replaced the ameri

secondly, denying them a safe haven in syria. that's why we're focusing in on training the moderate opposition and finding a way to control space to isil in syria. and then helping iraqis control their sovereign space in iraq. that's extremely difficult, but that is the three-pronged approach that we have to try to take against this. and the conversations yesterday with the turks led by our deputy secretary and their undersecretary were focused upon that. i think we have a fairly common understanding of the way forward with the turks on this. >> i don't think i have much more to add other than i think they are -- they've been living with the threat emanating from syria for a long time. they are extremely focused on it. they're extremely focused on what's happening in iraq. as a nato ally, we're talking with them every day. so i feel confident we know what they're focused on. >> okay. playing beat the clock. if you could comment again on the revolutionary guard and their influence right now and whether they have replaced the ameri

secondly, i would like to bring out a person who was originally scheduled to moderate. i thought he would give a better perspective sitting on the panel. we switched places. i did know i was going to lose my voice. roland martin is an influential reporter and commentator. he has a long career at bet and cnn. most recently, tv one. he has his own program called "news one now." he is from houston. --went to texas and dam texas a and m. he is a journalist with a masters degree in christian communications. he has written several books. let's give around of applause for roland martin. [applause] you're good. all right. since we are in dallas, this is for you. i get a chance to introduce a dallas cowboy legend. this is a surprise guest. we did not put him on the schedule intentionally. so mayor rawlins would be surprised. he led the dallas cowboys to three super bowl championships. he is one of 17 children from fort lauderdale, went to the the university of miami. he won a championship there. one of the greatest wide receivers to ever play the game. let's give around of appla
