with the city council. is happening in places like minneapolis which also has a city council that voted unanimously to defund, completely defund the police. you have it happening in places like san francisco, all over the country. chicago, where the city council is voting against the interests of the majority of the people. the majority of new yorks polled do not want, not only do they not want defunding of the police, they don't want to have any elimination of any funding for the police and here's why. show a video clip of a woman the other day, right here, she is 65-year-old woman who in broad daylight was assaulted by this guy. sneaked up behind her, put her in a chokehold. we've been hearing a lot about chokeholds. here is one by a criminal, put a chokehold on a 65-year-old woman grabbed her bag, walked casually away. most new yorkers don't want any reduction in police force funding. >> she doesn't have a lobbiest in her favor. she doesn't live in the rich new york city neighborhoods. if she did, bill d

every year and the people of our city have been devastated by this pandemic. we all know that. the road to economic recovery will probably be very long. and i know that we here in city hall will not have all of the answers and we will not be able to dictate what the economic recovery is exactly going to look like, but whatever form that takes, it will be let by the people of this city and i believe we have a responsibility to make sure that we give them every opportunity to succeed that we can and remove every obstacle in their way. i believe this does that. and i believe that the timing is right to have this on the ballot and i look forward to supporting this item as it moves forward. thank you, mayor breed, and those who have worked on this for putting it forward. and that's it. >> thank you, supervisor stephanie. supervisor mar. >> thank you to mayor breed and her staff, the office of small business and planning department for work on this important measure. again, i'm just concern -- my only concern is around the urgency and i really haven't hear

tonight is day 58 of violent protest that has shaken the city of portland. at is right, eight weeksksay f sustained chaos and the american public fooled by the media and politicians on the left. they will tell you that it is nothing but a wall of moms and folks congregating for racial justice. but all you have to do is take a look night in and night out to realize the narrative is a complete farce.al as a result, the administration sent in 114 officers led by the department of homeland security during the fourth of july weekend. their goal to stopop the swell f violence and protect monuments and federal buildings that the mayorur says is a mob. during the course of the time there, flagrant s acts of violee and crime so, of course, they have made arrests, which the state attorney general has actuallyly tried to stop. but apparently breaking the laws that expired at a federal building and attacking officers is not cause for concern.as today, the federal judge smacked down the attempts to stop these arrests and just for doing their jobs, lead to disgusting accus

the city has a mayor, board of supervisors. the district attorney and city attorney are suppose today address that. fire department heads et cetera. the board can hold hearings reserved to investigate things that seem inappropriate. if that's not happening and we're not happening to the extent it should, if we are not funding the ethics commission at the level it is able to do the work it needs to do. if we're not organized as a board to root out corruption. if we have not established the oversight for city contracts city wide. the creation of a under founded funded new office with new staff to pursue whatever item can happen to fall within that perp's view is not going to solve the problem. we have cha challenges around corruption in the city. a new elected office is not going to solve the problem, i will be voting no. >> : we have one of the strongest and most robust public defenders office in the country. i think we have the best city attorney's office in the country, it's nationally recognized. i just want to read you a coup

the u.s. represents officers in new york city. it is often the case that some of the loudest voices in the debate over policing in america are police unions whose rhetoric tends to run very hot. few weeks ago amidst nationwide protests against police brutality, the president of another new york police union said, quote, they would win this war on new york city. the head of the minneapolis police union called protests in that city in the wake of george floyd's killing a terrorist movement. president of a cleveland police union, which referred to the citizens of his own city, as the depression of society. police union leaders across the country talk like this all the time. as a reporter who covers them, as if they're fighting a war. the unions are also not particularly representative of the departments they represent. the new york city police department, for example, is 47% white. and as you can see, that is very different from the makeup of this group of union leaders and members. in fact, of the 15 largest police departments in the

mumbai metropolitan region the core of the city is built on several islands that lie in the arabian sea this is a low lying area and rising sea levels pose a very real threat. austrian architect ramez najah says that coastal cities like mumbai must adapt to these conditions and that could include building floating communities. other 2 completely different but sort this i'm convinced that entire cities will one day be built on water. you can't rely on putting up barriers made of sand or other materials a little bit of. cities will have to be built on floating surfaces should even a little bit flaking this new development would offer a number of advantages particularly the construction of infrastructure near the city center and projects that generate energy so it's no different in italy. proposes the use of floating turbines that generate electricity by taking in water the concept is similar to that used with hydroelectric dams in the austrian alps you take a look east and the technology comes from austria because we have a lot of ex

the uk. bristol today is a city divided. sistently disadvantaged compared to their white peers. it is all in this report. it talks about the unrepresentativeness of the curriculum, the lack of diversity in teaching staff and the poor engagement with parents. aisha thomas is one of a few black teachers in bristol, although a career in education was not her original plan. i decided to go into law because i was really passionate about getting into the legal system and trying to deal with some of the discrimination that i could see there. but at the same time of doing that, i was actually doing some volunteer work with the prince's trust, so we were doing bits of pro bono and making sure we could help those in the present system and get back into the real world and into the community. i was working on a particular project about young people getting back into education, and there was a particular young men i had dealt a really good rapport with and a really good relationship, and one day he said just out of the blue, "perhaps if i
