he is spanish and irish together. if we look at the history of the irish in cuba, most of the irish to went to cuba in the 18th and 19th centuries arrived from spain, some of them with the spanish royal armies; other irish influx arrived from the u.s. for the construction of railroads used to transport sugar cane to the sugar plantations. that was at the end of the 19th century. and then at the beginning of the 20th century, we're talking 1902, 1910, before odono that i mentioned before, this man who gave his name to -- he was very proud of this lighthouse. the cubans offer hospitality to general alexander alejandro o'reilly. he rose through the ranks of the spanish army. the spanish sent alexander o'reilly to cuba to form a militia. he was appointed governor of louisiana and head of the army later on. he arrived in august, 1769, and took formal possession of louisiana for spain. think of new orleans and cuba, in particular havana, governors there were also in cuba so there was all this traveling from one city to anot

winner of the coveted golden george award is the movie the waves directed by alberto meyers it's a spanish movie the second year in a row that a spanish language movie has won the top prize here at the moscow international film festival last year it was the turn of the man also brothers this year though it's gone to the waves a movie set in that against the backdrop of the spanish civil war it's not the only prize that movies picks up carlos out of it is also taken the best x. a prize this year's festival so to award is going to the spanish movie the waves the the top prize for best film and also the best actor prize now there's also been plenty of other. awards up for grabs and one person who's picked up one of those awards says isn't a stranger to collecting gongs she's already got four buff has three golden globes four emmys amongst others including an account of the award for best actress dame helen mirren the british actress has picked up the stanislav ski award for acting excellence. i mean mentally on it you know the name stanley saskia obviously to our

very beautiful spanish version russian mission actually spanish. russian special feeling to the spanish you know it was. it's the story of a young guy twenty three year old he works in the metro and the doctor says to at the beginning of the movie you know you have this heart problem and you could die any second and how everything suddenly is transformed but not in an obvious way he tells no one he doesn't tell his mommy doesn't tell his friends he doesn't tell his girlfriend he doesn't tell anyone but the filmmaker by showing it by staying a little longer than he should on this cup makes you feel that maybe of course this guy and in two seconds may never see a cup again and the relationships change or become more feel that this man is looking at the last moments of his life you have to part you played him in the number of movies that were nominated different systems so you know this feeling of being judged of the way they were what's more difficult to to be judged or to judge for yourselves. can you compare and again i'm not mad about the word jud

my audience is my irish catalan and spanish family. the eyes of my family activate the dance but i was disoriented and forget the steps, but i wanted the dance to continue. i grew up in havana surplded by murphies, jeovese, all speaking spanish. this was in the late 50's. my grandfather and my father, like many other irish who went to cuba during the past three centuries, became integrated into the cuban society and many used spanish as their mother tongue. as a child, i was never able to pronounce certain words. i spent many solitary hours searching for words and phrases in dictionaries. my spanish was not cuban enough. my english was not irish enough. my catalan, only a few words. spanish was and is a privileged territory where i feel alive and well. my father grew up in new york and havana and married a cuban woman, my mother. all my family shared a great loving for havana, a city they call home. but contrary to my family, i grew up dreaming of traveling and wanted to leave havana for dublin, where some of the most famous writers i

in my case gently cajoling me to speak more spanish day by day. who knows how my feelings about refusing to speak it might have changed? whatever the reasons, that sort of patience, organization, just not part of the nature. given the more immediate concerns, years later, i don't know why you didn't want to learn as if that was something that was offered and i now wish he had been more demanding about my speaking spanish my guess is i would still find ways of pushing that language away. i like that piece. i can believe i wrote it. >> the book is packed with these real insights that surely in reflection produce along view of a childhood that was quite troubled. >> i would say so. the most interesting thing about writing this is when you are doing fiction about, quote, your life, you can add -- with intervening thoughts, symbology and language and somehow it is buffeted. as i was writing this more and more i realized i had been raised having gone through a major drama which was to be separated from my home for a year. >> because of illness. >> the i

>> spanish is one. and yes, spanish is the primary. are there any questions? and the standards of care legislation was passed when? last year in 2008. and this is the second year of reporting then?

i wanted to say a few words in spanish. i know a lot of the workers are monolingual workers that are impacted by this. [speaking in spanish] the last thing i would say, and i was remiss in living -- leaving out a partner, and that is the city attorney's office. also, as the chronicle article indicated, the city attorney just filed a lawsuit against an employer it was not complying with the law, and i think it is important were inappropriate that the city attorney, district attorney, take necessary steps to send a very clear message that we're not going to tolerate wage that in san francisco. the rest i submit to you. thank you. supervisor chiu: thank you supervisor composts and supervisor mar. if there are no presentations at this moment, why don't we move this item and have public comment begin. if there are members of the public that wish to speak on this item, item number one, please do so. if you are needing translation, the time will be doubled so we do allow for the translation to happen. if there are members of the p

>> spanish is one. and yes, spanish is the primary. are there any questions? and the standards of care legislation was passed when? last year in 2008. and this is the second year of reporting then? and the standard of care creates a standard for homeless folks being provided basic needs for the paper and being created respectfully and so i think for the overall body and the shelter monitoring committee and the standards of care have definitely improved the standards within the shelter system. and at some point i would the love see more of a longitudinal study over the past couple of years over what areas we have improved in and what areas we continue to have challenges in. and for me it would be interesting since it's really important to me we improve our standards in the shelter system and thank you so much. thank you for all of your work on this issue and if oh members are here from the shelter monitoring committee, appreciate this in information and am excited you are working with the health care center to involve training and what they do for many members

[speaking spanish] >> good morning, everybody. my name is edwin, and we're here because we think this ordinance is very important to us as workers. [ speaking spanish] >> we are here because a lot of employers take advantage of workers, and in my case i have three cases i will tell you about. i worked at a restaurant for 2.5 years, and this was an establishment where i did not give breaks. i did not get a day off. my kids were stolen. when i tried to take a paid sick day, i was fired. >> [speaking spanish] >> i was actually able to recover from my paid sick time, but when i was let go, i did not receive payment from my last working days there. thank you to the laws that do exist, i was able to recover that as well, but we still need stronger laws and better enforcement. thank you. supervisor chiu: thank you. next speaker please. >> good morning. my name is stephen crane, the co-director of the young workers united. i am here this morning to congratulate the city in its leadership, as well as office of labor standards enforcement f

spanish we're going to mean. oh no but what we want to opinion spanish cinema today is really as different a special a spanish football but we can see with all different but what makes polish cinema so so so special. when the director is the director is underwritten and leaders and severe lack of value of. the produces i mean the crisis there's very little money. well there's no money makes you think he's near then people know then people go for something that they're pretty sure that they're going to get long. for the first week and that's it and but this film is really a such a jewel and the amazing thing is that that the feel for the presley also gave that the first prize so it wasn't just because we spoke spanish and this is an. opinion that contemporary russians and which is which is also very much criticized when the russians say well these were the days when the soviet times when the russians did good movies what about today's russians you're personally you see a lot of them i saw two the two that were in

oh no but but what what's your opinion spanish cinema today is really as different a special a spanish football you can see what makes football different but what makes polish cinemas so special are all good directors good directors under fortunately there's a severe lack of same as in football of the other of. the produces i mean the crisis there's very little money. and. well there's little money makes you think he's you know then people go for something that they're pretty sure that they're going to get lungs on seats. for the first week and that's it and this film isn't really an option two and the amazing thing is that that the think free press he also gave that the first prize so it wasn't just because they spoke spanish and this is an. opinion about the contemporary russians and which is which is also very much criticised when the russians say well these were the days when the soviet times when the russians did good moves what about today's russian is your personal do you see all of them i saw two the two that were in competition and they were both laughing brilliant the shadow

but the mexican american spanish drizzly in chinese, whatever.it's a situation which can't go on. >> jorge castaneda served as foreign minister of mexico from 2000 to 2002 working with the president talks at the time. how much of your time as foreign minister when dealing with the u.s. did you spend? first of all, how much of your time was spent dealing with the u.s. command of that time, how much was spent dealing on the immigration issue? >> with any foreign mexican minister is going to spend up to 70, 75% of his time dealing with the u.s.. we have a few other important relationships in the world. obviously guatemala because we have a border with them. some countries in western europe, mainly spain and some countries in latin america, mainly chile, and with cuba we have always the longstanding and often conflicting relationship, cano also. but 75% of any mexican foreign minister signed who's devoted to the u.s. and i've tried to devote as much time as i could to immigration because i fought and continue to think this is mexico's single most imp

. >> my name is lupe, and i speak spanish as my primary language, but i am a citizen. i appreciate from this commission that there is an interpreter. i think as a spanish-speaking person, as a mexican and american, what i would like from this commission for me to really respect you, and for me and thousands of other immigrants, but i am going to speak for the spanish-speaking community, for us to feel that you are really here, and you mean what you say, it is beyond interpretation and intention. it is engagement, but it is also to stand up. i am going to give you a couple of examples. the new police chief just passed a law that if you don't have a driver's license, which is one of the main issues for latino undocumented people, that they are going to give you 20 minutes, they will take your car and pay a fee. but they are going to take your car. you are going to go into another debt for $1,000. you can say we support this. put an ad in the chronicle or announce it. that is one. the one, the chronicle and other english papers, i think because they have new reporters tha

the crowds of protesters have converged on the spanish capital madrid after marching from across the country well they're angry at the soaring unemployment to the highest of the euro zone and at the government's failure to tackle the recession well for more now let's cross a lot of our correspondent you can never be sure who's in the center of madrid where the demonstrations demonstrators rather have actually said count so you know what is going on there spanish discontent has been brewing for a while now hasn't it. absolutely in fact a lot of people in the spanish media and other protesters themselves are referring to this is the spanish revolution you have to keep in mind the fact that spain has one of the highest unemployment rates in the eurozone in fact its youth unemployment is the highest in the european union it's more than forty percent so almost every other young person in the country cannot get a job but it's talking not that they're not trying it's just it's just impossible for them to do it so this entire movement which is called the fifteen m. movement started on may fi
