because of them to trump is initiating one secondly this is going to people out of bed because we don't know the content of the deal that only talks about a state in gaza that doesn't that doesn't refer to six or seven borders that doesn't refer to you by two or three that doesn't deal with the policy not if you g.'s that moves the embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem the american embassy that is using blackmail to kmiec and missile to try to push there by the scene a suicide and to accept their base the peace initiative order they i thought i'm better ideas that is not going to happen so for us we have spoken loud and clear our voice was loud and clear and our president has explicitly stated that we are them of going to be bought of the do this deal and until now united states has not found them not in europe i'm not saying that i see your point but there are speculations in the past that the deal may include washington's recognition of is jim resilin ascalon to how science capital is that happens will you trust the united states with a mediate a role again well look. for us it is very e

conflict you're not going to go anywhere with the solving the middle east they show this is one secondly we know that it was a show of money did not at the end of france didn't attend russia did not attend the ballistae knows what in moscow so all in all are lucky united states was the one to do is simply a show and therefore we are not that enough interested in football fortunately as we are interested in serious issues still united states vice president mike hans has set that to war so summit marked the beginning the new era with benjamin netanyahu breaking bread was an arab leaders do you feel sort of betrayed by your friends here well look they go out of factotum between us and out of companies is that a lot of peace initiative that obese initiative is the guy didn't lines for that abyss that i literally actions which explicitly states that is that i should withdraw from occupied territories and a lot of normalizing relations with this has not happened and therefore i think that ups should not be that is not the us should not betray the at obese initiative the saudis what a sort it a

your sense about the veracity of the maduro claims and, secondly, the idea that abrams should go talk to him. >> you know, i doubt that the talks took place, and i'm certain they didn't take place at a senior level. after all, secretary of state pompeo is over in europe. elliot abrams, pompeo's senior envoy for venezuela issues, was busy yesterday being heckled by the clowns up in the house of representatives, so i don't know if he was up in new york. it's not a particularly big deal if it is. i mean, sometimes it makes sense to talk to our adversaries especially if we are trying to orchestrate their exit, and that's what maduro should do, is exit. as for the idea of elliot going down to venezuela, he himself has said the time for dialogue is over, and that's probably just an effort to buy time. he really needs to see that the writing is on the wall and cede power. lou: it looks as though that is the farthest thing from his

and secondly, people around the country don't want to be told who they should vote for, or we'll givetipend if your job is displaced. people in west virginia, ohio, georgia, they just want a good job. they want to be proud of that. secondly, we have got to realize that what we do is very good, we also are destroying jobs, and we have to deal with that. with the internet, we knew it would destroy a certain number of jobs, and so at cisco we put network academies in every state in the u.s. we trained 7 million students during the time i was there. many of them got 30% or more raises, many went on to college. we went into the middle east, palestine, created a partnership between startups and the arabs and jewish population about how we work together and the gdp went from .5% in high tech to 6.5% in three years. so this is where i would like to see silicon valley come back to do what we do best, change the world in a positive way. and i think we have to be careful that our overconfidence is probably erred on being too arrogant. ♪ emily: where do you think the next silicon valley is? john:

secondly, this is not a profligate government. it is very aware of its responsibilities to maintain a balanced fiscal situation as we go forward. thirdly, that we are in a period where we are stabilizing our country and economy and not just sitting on our haunches. the top leadership in our country has gone out of its way to create an atmosphere of confidence, welcoming investments. over the nextt few years, there's going to be a lot of investment both from south african capital but also global business interests as well. nejra: if i could just go back to eskom, and you were talking about more details being released on the eskom side, and how they would get through the restructuring, and also towards the conditions needed for the state report, investors reading through some notes yesterday waiting for more details on the conditions for the state support. it begs the question whether eskom can facility conditions , andut tariff increases therefore, what a fair level for the tariff increase would be. well, on the one hand, eskom wil

this is important to secondly conducting a survey of the liberated areas. which will establish where and approximate the moments of explorers and such but it's absolutely impossible to give you a number right now i mean it when. and the and number last year we shared close to seventeen dollars an explosive last such different pipes and that's a good indication bar there. is a war. and you talked about the different types of mines just then as well but the mines in the city are much more powerful than usual can you explain why this is. you know so basically the. it's not mines and the longer it is unexploded ordnance lamination that have been fired but failed to function in combination. with. the much more simple devices or basically ammunition that has been manufactured by by dosh in factories throughout the liber into their area. that has been placed in various locations throughout the liberated areas. ok well thank you very much for your insights and we wish you well with your efforts there i mean when mine action save a senior program manager for iraq th

secondly we would also not use the renminbi's exchange rate as a tool to deal with trade disputes. thirdly we also hope that the u. s. can respect market rules respect objective facts a and nt popoliticize the exchange rate issued of the control. now let's checkn on today's trtrading action some modest gas across europe attacks in the fifty one huhundred finished the day ahead. ofof us despite a drop in the share price of sainsburys uk regulators warn they could block the supermarket chahains planned merger with us that which is owned by walmart. next picture on wall street investors reactctg to the release of minutes from the federal reserve's meeting i in january. central bank said that u. s. growth will step down this year but market shaking off thosose concerns. moving on n now mining giant glencore is pledging to limit coal production rose largest coal exporter said it was putting a cap on its coal minin. it's not holding its activity in the sector but says it'll keep annual production around this year's levels. either way a big victory for investors calling on energy companie

these people are never brought to justice secondly only the public ministry is the one is the institution able to announce and those those kind of issues and prosecutions should be done if that is the case that should be reported to the authorities to be investigated i'm not saying no i'm just saying that the channels are there and the institutions are there to complain and to follow investigations regarding whatever that or whatever crime will happen in any country so that these killings which is business as usual wouldn't they and they would julie witnessed by families and communities as the government tended they should be as a warning to other people wasn't it that is joy interpretation of things again the families always have the ministry of public i mean the physically are open ending situations open to make the investigations that are required it's just they don't seem to be making those investigations and widespread human rights reports have talked about the impunity continuing impunity for repeated crimes of this nature over many years this isn't something new one reason it may h

authority secondly there is a law the national emergencies act itself one thousand nine hundred seventy six provides expedited parliamentary treatment of resolutions and the house and the senate to disapprove a declaration of national emergency and i expect we will get votes out of the house and senate doing that the president may veto that and then we'll have an override issue but the last thing with regard to the claim of national emergency powers here president george w. bush confronted a similar kind of issue and in two thousand and six a congress passed the fence at the appropriated money to build some physical barriers and it but they utilized the immigration laws it wasn't that it wasn't a a national security issue where the military is brought out and i believe under the anti deficiency act if the president knowingly spends money for a purpose not appropriated by congress that is a crime now because he's a sitting president mr muller probably couldn't prosecute him but it certainly could be an impeachable offense secondly under the posse comitatus act in so far as the military i

not the main reason why britain wouldn't do that is because it hasn't got the money to do it and secondly of course it's not really clear what the benefits for british. it would be of the united kingdom seeking confrontation in the way he described earlier this week with the likes of china and russia particularly places so far away for people like where they were in sim the armed forces their job isn't primarily it would appear to protect and defend britain it's to project the power that britain which in his mind i think once had so you've got the issue first of all whether britain is capable by itself of protecting power in the way that he and others have described the answer frankly is no it would take a massive increase in spending to be able to achieve that and secondly anyway what the desirability realistic. especially post the world would be of that why would you want to confront these powers over issues that have got very little relevance to yourself rather than concentrating on defending your homeland and your interests closer to home we also heard williams and go through a long l

feel our client community in australia that if we don't stand up for him he's in very real trouble secondly because this is so much about football politics and the sorted politics of the going particular around the i.o.c. president was implicated back in two thousand and eleven twelve in the house aeration and torture all right let me let me stop you there craig so i think we need to unpack this just a little bit keep it as simple as possible when you're talking about the president of the asia football confederation we're talking about a bahraini who has since recused himself from this case because clearly there's a conflict of interest that's what you're referring to yes yes indeed and under the new human rights policy all faith in every generation including the five bahraini and australian there are very strong obligations on all football officials to promote and protect the human rights of everyone in and through the game of course that includes the president did not do so for around sixty days after which he then tried to lose himself and played only to try and delegate responsibility t

secondly, we need an appropriate sendoff in the next few weeks. >> we're due. >> secretary: very gooditem 11, review of past events at the board of supervisors, board of appeals, and historic preservation commission. >> good afternoon, commission. first was the landmark designation for the sunshine school and theodore roosevelt middle school. these items were called together. the sunshine school was constructed in 1937 with funds from the public works administration. it is significant as the first public school specifically designed for children with disabilities built west of the rockies. it was designed in the spanish colonial revival style with art deco and moorish accents. more significantly, it has a floor plan and devised to combine two separate schools in one campus, one for disabled children and one for the chronically ill. theodore roosevelt middle school was built in 1930 and is the only dutch-german expressionist building designed by timothy fluger. the hpc initiated designation on october 18, 2017, and recognized landmark designation in 2017. during land use hearing, a con

secondly, figure out where we live, where is home? you've got to invest in home where the voters live, it's part of your life that shows your committed to folks, find the community where you gonna live and become part of it. i found the easiest way to build up an army of political friends is to volunteer for other people's campaigns. i walk in and say can i help you? thank goodness you're here, win or lose this becomes a friend opening up a lot of support, doing things that are nonpolitical that make a difference in community. all those things make a serious difference. let me tell you a quick story, more and under what is a new member of congress. i am matt moore and underwood in primary and, i loved her the minute i saw her. she's delightful, happy, smiling, friendly. and i said, how do you get into this. well she said i went to congress and asked about existing conditions. he said he was going to vote one way but he voted the other way and i saw and i got so upset i went with friends to a meeting at the library and were sitting aro

secondly, it would provide $42,000,000.456 for ne$42,000,0. severely mentally ill individuals as well as homeless seniors. it will be the new home to the urgent care clinic. the street outreach team and homeless outreach team. those services are provided in seismically compromised building. we're very much looking forward to relocating those services. we would have $6 million that will jump start the development on three new affordable housing development across the city. we have $14 million for site acquisition. this money will leverage $5 million in grant money we got from the metropolitan transportation commission for an acquisition and the transit orient development neighborhood. we are looking forward to buying a site and putting a stake in the ground. colleagues any questions at all? supervisor mandelman. >> supervisor mandelman: i want to thank three department it is working on these proposals. number of them were anticipated in prop c. i want to drill down more on the st. mary's bed. i'm one of the people who insisted these remain in.

and secondly, have you gotten any buy-in now that we are staying there from britain or france that they will keep troops there on the border to protect our kurdish allies? >> the predicate of your question i think is wrong. let me try and address the policy there. presidents made very clear that the achievement of destroying the caliphate in syria and iraq, we forget most people forgot that rocco, this is an enormous accomplishment. we are very proud of that. lanes of people liberated from the terror of isis. the president has also been very clear that this is the threat from radical islamic terrorism, it's real and it continues. we have to continue to fight the announcement this week that we will still have residual footprint inside of syria. our mission statement, the tactics will change as time goes on. we will use different tactics and in different parts of the world to fight back against radical islamic terrorism. president trump is committed to doing it. >> and they agreed to keep troops there now? >> we are hopeful we will have a coalition there. i don't have anything to announce

secondly and this is what strikes me about dr.eep these under the rug we go backward. i think we are sending a message just like we are with governor northam that yeah, you know, this is often times it is painful, but it was painful to the people that went through it, but, and here is the important part, beyond the individual case, it sets a standard that we want to live by of respect for individuals going forward. >> we are getting close to ten people in this race, officially. >> i thought we were at like a dozen. >> why you and not any of these other -- i say this, it is a talented field on paper, resumÉs, terrific resumes, a former vice president, you can have any array of candidate you're looking for. why do you think you're better than anyone else on this stage? >> this is a very talented field of people. i have executive experience i have a track record for getting things done. you did have the intermediate -- you were calling me mr. mayor a second ago. >> you're running as a former mayor, i think you love that record, i ass

illegal immigration is down in the violence is down so what do you base your lack of much less go secondly out of the what you go on and you get one with a set your sights anyway sit down sit down could you please sit down you get one i watched as i get my numbers from a lot of sources like homeland security primarily and the numbers that i have from homeland security are a disaster just weeks after the issue spots the longest government shutdown in u.s. history trump remains defiant for him the wall is necessary and he believes he's got the facts to prove it. our correspondent in washington helen humphrey says it's not just trump's political opponents who criticized his decision to declare a national emergency is also coming under fire from within his own republican party speaking in the rose garden here in washington d.c. mr trump said that he didn't have to declare a national emergency he did it in order to build the wall faster essentially bypassing congress and that is exactly the logic which was so maligned by the democrats calling that a gross abuse of power but there's also on thes

and secondly you've got to verify they told you the truth.hat's not going to come out of this meeting. so why we're having a summit in the absence of any concrete north korean compliance is beyond me. >> happily both of our guests are going to stay with us. we just have soofit in a break. when we come back we talk about the president reversing course on a consequential battleground for this country. consequential for this country >>> we mention this before the break. the white house is reversing course on withdrawing all u.s. troops from syria. saying a total of roughly 400 u.s. personnel will remain in syria after trump said in december all american forces will be coming home now. according to the official 200 thereabouts can remain in northeastern syria. another 200 will remain in the southern part of the country. earlier today the president was asked about this decision. >> i'm not reversing course. i have done something that nobody else has been able to do and another short period of time, like hours, you'll be hearing hours and days. you

people of india or pakistan to enjoy peaceful relations so i think that's a very important aspect secondly what the pakistan people's party is for you is that we obviously belief that they should be a plebiscite held in kashmir so the people of kashmir have a democratic outlet and they get to exercise their democratic right to choose their own future respect there is if that takes place i'm sure the terrorism would end in kashmir but as far as pakistan india is relations are concerned i think it's very important for us to have engagement unfortunately we haven't had very much engaged with india over the last few years particularly under the modi government but it's all the more important for peace loving pakistanis and peace loving indians to emphasize the importance of peace welcome terror condemning terrorism in all forms what is the biggest obstacle between this space between india and books on their hard earned but nothing seems to have been working on the news i think there are many issues obviously terrorism is an issue for both countries obviously the issue of kashmir is an issue fo

secondly, proper consideration was not given to the historic property, especially the historic garden. the sponsors demolishing a large part of this beautiful 110-year-old garden to crime too big of a building on too small of a size. the proposed building dominates the important historic building next to it and violates the important spatial relationship. the proposed signed does not address the good neighborhood design standards of the city. instead of a vibrant residential area, we're getting a brick wall with no street activation. fourth, the proposed building ignore its good sense planning. there is no rear yard setback, there is no side yard setback, disingenuously, the architect mentions but this between the building >> sorry, go ahead >> did we have a malfunction? >> yes. >> how much time do i have? you have two minutes. >> going back to the common sense planning, no rear yard setbacks, which we provided, and no side yard setbacks. literally there is 3 inches between their building. you could reach out and touch their building from our building. any setback from a deck -- betwe

secondly, there is talk of china pledging to buy a lot more in terms of us agricultural products, a lot more corny, and china thinks it would rather pledge a lot more money, it needs to buy the stuff anyway. but he believes he can buy more stuff, to them that is better than having to change significant things. now how did the americans feel about meeting with donald trump today? to pick up on what robin was saying, absolutely to hear from the american perspective that the chinese will be buying a lot more american goods. that is certainly progress, but what the americans really do want to see is some movement by the chinese to curb some of the activities that it finds really difficult to swallow, for example, the subsidies that you see chinese companies receiving by the government. that really gives an unfair playing field for these american companies that are trying to operate in china. the other issue for the americans is that yes, they really wa nt for the americans is that yes, they really want to get a deal, but also of concern is to make sure that deal sticks. in the past there ha

country for the people who pressed about by those who completely had british citizenship and really secondlyr people, at least maybe not some of the who became naturalized, and start off by someone else, some of citizen, that's probably a different case in point, the proper connections with the country they came from, but most of them have to go back to where they came from really it'll be a difficult problem and a quest for a long time it was thought that these people are just fighting to death, quite a few have, and they still do, but it looks like quite a large number who now may have to come back. huge issue for many western countries are another story on the front page, police force denied a job to a white man, this is an interesting one. it is, this is the story essentially because one of the police forces had they are essentially non—white forests said this is candidate saying that it was positive discrimination he was denied a job to improve disk —— diversity, and i suppose issue is yet to equally qualified candidates a policy would promote diversity as the kind of tie—breaker but th

secondly, the relationship between american media and the "national enquirer" group and the trump whitea long time so this really does have all of the elements of something that needs to be investigated. i would hope that some independent investigator, hard to do in this day and age, but the fbi or somebody would investigate this in an independent way. >> we asked those questions to kara at the top of the hour. namely, would we ever find out how the photos and texts were obtained she said if anyone can find out, you might look first to the richest man in the world >> i heard kara say that and she's right i hope because we really should figure out, can somebody hack into texts that you send to somebody else. but you've got all sorts of weird things going on, whether it could be a government, foreign government or domestic, a member of the family we had those allegations arise so it would be very important to pin that down. i use my iphone, i don't take selfies below the belt or anything, but i would sort of like to know who could look at anything i send on my phone. and i would assume, t

immigration is down in the violence is down so what do you base your lack so much less go on and secondly out of the what you go on you get one with a sector such and wait sit down sit down could you please this is are down you get when i why should i get my numbers from a lot of sources like homeland security primarily and the numbers that i have from homeland security are a disaster just weeks after the issue sparked the longest government shutdown in u.s. history trump remains defiant for him the wall is a necessity whatever the facts may be. and let's get more now we're joined by correspondent helen humphrey who is standing by with the latest from washington so i mean we saw it there a contentious press conference on trump declaring a national emergency what happens next. sarah century he stood there in the rose garden and he drew the battle lines himself he said that he would sign off on this national emergency and most soon it would be in could be dry a document that he would expect legal challenges they could come from many stakeholders whether that be civil society groups on the g

and secondly, well, as you know, the administration participated in the tpp, and then ratified in the diet, and then after u.s. withdrew from the tpp, japan took the initiative of concluding what is now ct-tpp. and this is actually remarkable because this is actually probably the first international trade agreement that japan took an initiative that u.s. opposed. so that's actually the, so i think that is a remarkable achievement. what the abe administration has been doing but not so much successful, well, some progress, but not so much successful is domestic reform. now, you may remember economics, and what was the three airs of arrows, of economics, and in 2012, he said economics and then three arrows and we said three arrow is very important, and the third arrow is structure reforms. or economic reform. or growth strategy. abe has done some things, they did the j 80 reform, agriculture reform and more broad agriculture reform, and the labor reform, but well, to make a long story short, it's not sufficient. so foreign policy, very good achievement. domestic reform, half full, half e

secondly maintaining consistency with our water supply and environmental stewardship

secondly, the governor just announced this morning that he have is appointings could vel as ka chair of the state water resources control board so we have worked with him on many issues to date and look forward to working with him in the future on these issues. so what we're about now is preparing a resolution for the commission's consideration at the next meeting on february 26th. we have discussed this, the commissioner has made suggestions and looking to have the commission go on the record with policy level recommendation and clear direction regarding the commission's recognition of its responsibilities for water supply and environmental stewardship both. the slides i put together working with other staff and in conversations with different folks in the community as to what should be potential elements of such a resolution. so these are high level bullet points and in draft form and i look forward to any commission feedback that you might want to give on this. so there are two pages of bullets. first providing overall support for the voluntary agreement process while being transp

secondly, the company is now more concerned with making more profit than they used, so is perhaps makingd embarking on fewer new ventures, which are a big source of growth for the company. thirdly, some of those acquisitions it has made, such as whole foods, have been in areas that, by their nature, have slower growth generally. that could be dragging down the rest of amazon as well. dave lee, bbc news, in francisco. peter veash is ceo of the bio agency — which helps companies with their digital strategy. thank you very much for coming in. what would you be telling amazon right now if you were the person advises people on their digital strategy. they have slowing growth, what do they do? i think they are in a great place and don't need a huge amount of advice. they are a small pa rt amount of advice. they are a small part of online retail by the huge business and have more to go. the key thing is understanding customer behaviour is off—line to work out, really, how they would ensure that not only can things be delivered until the drones followers around, but actually to enable customers
