while working for the beacon, i climbed the ladder. i started off as support and ended as site coordinator. and it was a wonderful opportunity. the beacon has given me so many opportunities and i want to give them thanks for where i am in my life. i grew into the young man i am today. and james denman middle school,ive to give them credit. it's wonderful to hear they opened up the school during the weekend, because as a young person, i used to jump the fence to play basketball here with siblings and by myself. thank you, i appreciate that. no students have to jump over the fences anymore. growing up here in san francisco, it's not always the easiest place to grow up. especially, you know, when you're growing up with a struggling family, struggling mother here to take care of 4-8 children. and everything she's instilled in me, i give her credit for had who i am. i am grateful for the many opportunities i have here and that i'm even able to give back. i truly believe what you sow, you shall reap. the times i was mean, rude torques the ma

sigh of relief because what europe really wants needs is german stability angela merkel has been the beacon of stability for so many years now and this would have been a really bad point for european politics for her to sort of leave the scene as she knows how to make compromises in europe she knows how to handle people she is a fantastic negotiator behind the scenes and everybody really relies on her to bring forth compromises in the future about the e.u. reforms about the brics seek new negotiations and of course about the deep divide that is opening up between western and eastern european states and bottle of briefly once anglo-american is sworn in and a government is installed here in germany what is a priority for brussels. there is a whole range of topics of course there is this divide to that between east and west that will have to be negotiated the talks will start heating up for later in the year so a firm hand on the tiller is needed for that and then first steps need to be taken towards some e.u. reforms is not going to give that much to. but it will give a bit and so that will s

the bay area, san francisco, has always been one of the beacons of tolerance in the world.think that with all the civil action that is happening, we should continue to be peaceful. we should present our views. we should not press these views on anybody. that's important. we should be tolerant to another point of view, to listen to your counterpart, to try to understand them. that's the basis of diplomacy, and that's how we try to work. the legacy of the many years of the cold war, it separated our societies. and we were on different sides of a big wall. it doesn't exist, this wall now. so we should improve our dealing together. we should bring together our businesses, our artists, our actors, our scientists, our students. that's important. we try to find these connections, try to develop them, and to present them and try for these connections to be useful for both of our nations. building bridges, that's a wonderful, wonderful expression, and we should build bridges and cross these bridges. go and visit and do things together across these bridges. >> our thanks to consul pe

i moved here to san francisco seven years ago because i saw the city as a beacon of tolerance. the symbolic value of the city, it dramatically altered the course of my life and for that, i am grateful, but i want this city to move from tolerance into acceptance. memorization can be a powellful tool, and i think we should use it as such. the airport can become more than a place, more than the sum of its materiality. it can become a symbol that brings us together and invites feelings of comfort and belonging as we fly in from all over the world. it can make sure that we always remember that the lgbt civil rights movement was and is a struggle and fought by a coalition of alliances. in a world of political unrest, memorization can also be an act of subversion. as someone who works in harvey milk's former castro camera store, i've heard the powerful meaning of his story. i've seen people breakdown and cry. and here through the renaming of sfo and this terminal, i think that we can offer a beacon of hope to those who feel like they have none, and i think that power, that beacon has s

parliament should be the beacon of best practice rather than constantly running to keep up. it comes to picking fights with the eu, britain is not alone. poland is now in the dock. its popularist right—wing government stands accused of threatening the independence of the judiciary by greatly increasing its control of the courts. this has led the european commission to trigger an unprecedented article 7 proceeding against warsaw. if poland fails to back down by next tuesday, that's march 20th, it could ultimately lose its eu voting rights. there are also widespread concerns that the authoritarian policies of the ruling law and justice party are threatening liberal democracy by attacking the media, curbing civil rights and encouraging cultural and religious intolerance. mike thomson's been to warsaw to find out more about poland's creeping authoritarianism. we should get back to our tradition. we do not need to learn from the west. this is against the mainstream, against the elite. it's the right direction. we are very much afraid. we are closing our society, just to our nation

russia has gone so hard to the right in terms of traditional values and gay marriage so they become the beacon of hope that just for nationalist but that's nothing when trump found assad he was the putin allen. >> on that grim note,. >> when you are talking about earlier. >> talk about when you introduced yourself. >> weathers conflicting stories because we had to reveal that on amazon by guy who claimed he was there and i was crying. what happened is that i was going to a funeral in johnson city, tennessee. i'll tell you about eric. when i met him he was the head of a group that claimed their members in every country in the world but as for as i know there's three of them. one is in prison. and then eric is left. there's one guy who keeps going after man twitter the whole time. was found a bag i lives in gc. josh has racist tattoo on his forehead that he had to erase because he was starting to bomb a school because he is walking past a school and a couple of girls called him a racist so he was gonna bomb the school. >> my point is mary patrick swayze's niece and they broke up. is at shoney's

what if the homing beacon was on aboard, and they used it to track ray to the pal expas catch up with. of. so we shot the scene in the film where uncar catches up to ray, and chewbacca pulls his arm off and throws it across the room. wasn't in the film at the end because j.j. realized it was pointless. ( laughter ) i was like, "i don't care. it happened." chew booka pulled my arm off. end of story. fantastic. >> stephen: the new movie is "ready player one." people call it a sci-fi movie. you call it a "future fact." what does that mean? >> someone said this the other day because it's basically about a virtual reality world. it's 2044. this world has been created. everybody kind of goes there because it's more interesting and more fantastic than the real world is. it's a little bit of a social media allegory. it's a place where you can project your own truths, create yourself in your own way. you know the kind of thing people do on social media these days. >> stephen: sure, uh-huh.

quick update on the on-ramp merge efforts, the actual design of the flash and beacons and the stripingnd the barrier are at a point where it's all comments have been incorporated by caltrans right now and there's an effort to wrap up the design elements in that particular area. there's a meeting with a.c. transit, myself, and caltrans to anticipate to close that out and the anticipation is that this work will be constructed in april at this point. that's the plan at least at this point, assuming all goes well with the -- with the process. and one very big good news is that there's a lot of zeros at the top, no recordables and no lost times at all this year. and with that i turn it over to ron to continue on. >> thank you, dennis. ron alameda. it's always good to see dennis' portion of the presentation to see the work in place, to hear that transfer of space is happening for tenant improvement. and then we come to budget and schedule. in terms of budget no changes as of yet. and since last month about $19 million of work in place and bringing us to an expenditure level of $1.98 billion.

they have stopped, picked up north korean coal, take it to russian port, offloaded there and turn the beaconk on. then go somewhere else and then a little while later, another ship will come to the russian port. pick up the coal and go to south korea. believe it or not in this case, south korea and japan and others are being duped into buying north korean coal. >> wow! captain chuck nash, i will have to leave it if you will keep an eye on this and bring you back more analysis. thank you, sir. >> look forward to it arthel. >> first it was russia's election interference as no other nations are said to be insights. robert mueller is saying he will look at more attempts to gain influence in the us and who and where they say he is looking at now. >>> and the oscars of course are taking place tonight. which movies do you think will win big? we will have a live report and predictions from -- his batting record is unbelievable. you will want to hear that list straight ahead. relieve nasal congestion. flonase allergy relief is different. flonase relieves sneezing, itchy, watery eyes and a runny nose,

minnesota people here and we are excited about that and it also has to do with israel's position in the inld, a beacon of democracy a really tough, if not incomparably tough neighborhood. i talk to people at home and they see it that way. if they are not jewish, they see the importance of the friendship and, if they are, they have had four jewish senators out of minnesota and we have a powerful community, despite our scandinavian reputation and four of the five members from the gold medal curling team were from our tape. i would like to bring that up. this community has me so interested in this. it brought me to israel when i was in the senate. i was the district attorney and remembered going to meet a family whose house, a rocket show had gone through their home and their daughter was doing their homework at the kitchen table. if not for the alert system, she would have been dead. hearing that story reminded me of the work i did as a prosecutor and we would be in these high crime neighborhoods and people would be terrified every day of what would happen next and no country should have to live like th

every region with it be south america europe north america you have the traditional beacons is that now being challenged by the smaller countries i think all over the world the smaller countries. are doing pretty well to organize themselves and be hard to play against and go into qualification and go into tournament's with a real plan so. you don't see so many situations where teams are just getting along apart anymore i mean i think teams can hold together better and so that's a challenge to the to the top teams because if you're the better team on the day your ability to not only get control but. open teams up may chance to score goals. in germany still doesn't well that's one of the reasons that they're always in the top group. in other parts of the world you see you see challenges argentina's qualifying wasn't so easy so regardless of where you come from the challenge of having a team that can step on the field in a real ideas and a real sense of purpose and do it game in a game out that's still there for people to to work towards foresee a time when the u.s. will get to semifinals

this is the democracy, a beacon of democracy in what's really tough, if not a tough neighborhood. if they're not jewish they see the important of that relationship. the fact that four of the five members of the gold medal winning u.s. curling team were from our state. i would like to bring that up. their daughter was doing the homework at the kitchen table. if it wasn't for the alert system, she would have been dead. hearing their story reminded me of the work i did as prosecutor and when we would be in these high crime neighborhoods on how people would be terrified every single day of what was going to happen to them next. no country should have to live like that. [ applause ] we were meeting with the prime minister and he was noting to me that he had a lot of relatives in minnesota and he had been there and he said when i got back to our state, i could tell them that i had met with the israeli prime minister of minnesota. that was kind of amusing but he said it to me when i was sitting next to the senator from new york. >> that's nice. you probably know as well as anybody given t

. >> "bad hair day," the beacon. >> jimmy: that was yours? me, to this day. >> yeah. >> jimmy: it's the greatest. >> thank you. >> jimmy: and you have a -- you have a new tour. i just want to get the title right. "the ridiculously self-indulgent ill-advised vanity tour." >> that's right, yeah. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: it just rolls off the tongue. >> yeah. >> jimmy: but this one is no parodies. no hits in this tour. >> virtually no parodies. it's an all originals tour. it's all the songs that kind of slipped between the cracks. it's all the obscure songs and b-sides. it's not meant to be appealing to a big, general, mainstream audience. it's really for all the hardcore fans that have been hanging around for 30 years going, "when is he going to play that obscure song from the third album that he's never played live?" >> "attack of the radioactive hamsters from a planet near mars." >> jimmy: ooh. >> there you go. there you go. >> deep cuts! >> jimmy: mister -- >> deep cuts. >> jimmy: "mr. frump and his iron lung?" or are you not doing that one? >>

we believe that california is the big blue beacon of hope, nda we can elect democrats from one end to another, and figured out how to make it work here, and we will help the brothers and sissers in the neighboring states to have the same successes, because we have the luxury of doing that. >> eric baughman is a registered nurse and he spent -- >> wait a second. lett me back up a second. that is not the dismiss the fact that we have a more traditional wing in the party, and more progressive party, and that exists, but the democratic party is a huge tent party, a people talk about it. our party runs from the folks far on the left to the people who are right of center and everything in between, and the amazing thing is that we manage to make it work all of us together. >> eric baughman is a registered nurse and spent 17 years as chairman of the l.a. democratic party, and ray is calling in from napa, california, from the upper echelons of california. >> caller: hey, how are you guys? i wanted the american people to know that the last four callers don't are represent the majority of califo

but he also had a record of doing what you just outlined which is being -- we are the beacon for democracy across the world, and the president of the united states is supposed to give voice to that. and play a leadership role on the global stage for democracy. so we have traditionally criticized attempts to steal the rights of citizens as john mccain said, to determine their future and fix sham elections. so what -- what's so tough for sarah sanders is when she's answering these questions, and it was for sean spicer before her, is that the president doesn't have a record to fall back on. so they say we're tough on russia, now they have these brand-new sanctions that they're enforcing. six weeks late, january 31st, was the original deadline. so they can say we just, you know, we're just enforcing these new sanctions. we're being really tough. but it is true that he refuses himself rhetorically from his bully pulpit to ever condemn or disavow putin or any of his actions. he leaves it to cabinet members and other people within his administration, but personally, the president will never weigh

i don't know that he was elected as the beacon of moral turpitude in this country. >> he may have beencted as a beacon of moral turpitude but not seen as a moral is giant. >> good point. i don't know. look, i think it will continue to generate a massive amount of publici publicity. other women are saying, wait a minute, there is a legal venue i can seek out? i do not think that this is the thing that people flip the switch and say, wait a minute, donald trump may not have been the greatest husband ever. i don't know that that is stunning information. >> i see it a little differently. because we're in this era of me too. time's up. so what we didn't know preelection was that he was engaged in trying to keep a woman silent. so i think that's the distinction in this story is that all of this effort to keep her from telling her story. so we knew about affairs. no secret donald trump had affairs. he cheated on his wife. >> nothing illegal about these kind of deals. >> nothing illegal about it. >> or the nda. >> that could change how women, 54% of white women in particular who voted for trum

maureen's they in every region whether it be south america europe or north america you have the traditional beacons is that now being challenged by the smaller countries i think all over the world the smaller countries. are doing pretty well to organize themselves and be hard to play against and go into qualification and go into tournament's with a real plan.

how does it claim to be the beacon of democracy and at the same time even after they fought against the european racism and news at the same time it still has segregation in place. plessy had to be abandoned and it wasn't just a matter of law. if as a matter of the geopolitics after time but put the court to where it went. >> thank you very much, suzanne. i have to questions that interested me about this discussion. the people who planned the court case, gave birth to this case and samuel phillips. can you give me some kind of an idea you were there any women in that decision in the makeup of the decision and the other thing delivered the opinion of the court in native of massachuset massachusetts. it played a role in the case. we are going to have you answer the first one. basically asking about the citizens can you tell us about the group that challenged? >> guest: correct me if i'm wrong there were 15 to 20 and as i said earlier, there were african americans that were a part of the group of people, light skinned, privileged, etc. but they understood that they were going to be treated

i know you're no longer in congress and thrilled you could be a part of the panel. beacon the gop, don't anticipate getting much done for the rest of 2018. the house is too conservative for the legislation that could overcome the fill buster. what do you think of that, as far as getting legislation passed in a mid term year when they already had a pretty good first year for the president? >> having been in the house of representatives in that majority that came in -- in 2010, i agree completely with -- with matthew. the house of representatives is a more granular representation of our electorate. and it is true that -- you know, we -- the districts have become deep red and blue across the country. i think mo is right that we have a real challenge as republicans in swing districts. and i think that the republicans should very strongly emphasize that -- that if we elect democrats even though i -- i work with democrats and i have many who are friends, the economic benefits that we've been seeing under president trump and the republicans in congress will be eroded away quickly

and they become the beacon of hope for nationalists not just in america but in europe. so that is another thing that went trump bond asad he was a putin ally. >> that's right. on that grim note, i still have a lot more questions but i feel like we have to go to the audience because you have questions. [inaudible] >> which one would you like? >> i want it back! >> talk about when you introduce yourself to the klansmen out in the field. >> oh! yeah. there are conflicting stories. we just got something on amazon where a guy named he was there and i was crying. [laughter] i don't really know. what happened was that i was at a clan funeral and i was with matthew and i was with an ex neo-nazi called eric. can i tell you about eric? when i met him, he was head of the aryan terrible grade and they are a group that claimed to have members in the whole world but as far as i know that there are only three of them and one is in prison. so there's one guy that keeps going on at me on twitter. so is this guy called josh who founded this in jersey. and he had racist tattooed on his fo

the weather turns cold as we see the showers working in, a bit of snow over the moz and also the brecon beaconseading through this evening and overnight, the showers continue to push northwards across england and wales. some could be quite heavy. so to come across eastern scotland, ice will be a major risk as we go through the night. those temperatures dipping below freezing. watch out for an icy start of the day for sunday. sunday will continue the trend of turning slightly less cold from the south but there will be more showers around on saturday, they could be quite heavy and the winds picking up around the showers, especially across southern england. north, some snow over the high ground, the hills of north—east england and eastern scotland but at lower levels, the wintry mix, rain, sleet and perhaps a little bit of smoke to some of those heavy showers, temperatures coming up for degrees also in edinburgh through sunday. next week, still a risk of snow in the far north of scotland but it will continue to turn less cold and we are looking at some styles of rain coming up from the south at ti
