the city has. it has a specific policy with respect to foreign flag raisings and it has issued resolutions in connection with others. third, it would defeat the flagpole's essential function as the bully pulpit. the city cannot use its flagpole to communicate its own message if it must remain neutral and carry the opposite message. private parties are free to wave their flag on city hall plaza or even raise a temporary flagpole but they cannot send a message the city does not endorse. i welcome the court's questions. i'm happy to address some of the questions -- >> do i understand you to be saying that to some extent city approves of every flag that flies? >> it has to confirm that raising a flag is consistent with the city's message. that's the stipulation. >> well, i don't know -- there may be some dispute about it. but does the mayor of boston really approve of the montreal canadiens? >> the mayor of boston made a bet with a fellow mayor ands lost the bet and agreed to raise the flag. of course,

certainly the city could have a limitation on the subject matters or speakers, for example, the city uld limit all of the flags to simply flags of other countries recognizing the various constituencies of their communities. but the city has chosen not to do that. >> what if the city said -- along the lines of what justice kagan imposed, we want to endorse certain messages, we like the idea of civic expression at the flagpole, but they want to exercise more control and boston has said it's going to do that if it loses this case. do you agree that boston could accomplish that by making the exact same run of flags that it's had up to this point government speech by exercising more control and maybe putting a boston official next to the flagpole when it's raised up to show that this is the city speaking? isn't that another way to do it, other than just designated as a limited public forum for these categories or subject matters? >> justice barrett, that would be a closer call. but if the city just simply wanted to use government speech as a guise for censorship, as i believe happened in t

attorney givner or the city attorney, city attorney of choice, to draft something that i'll be bringing back to this or whatever is the appropriate committee that honors the intent of the agreement that represents the intent. rec and park, you're here by on notice that you probably don't want to spend that $1.8 million on gene friend just yet because i think we may have more ideas more consistent with the original intent of these dollars, so with that, you can certainly make a motion to file. >> chair preston: thank you, supervisor peskin, and thanks for your diligence and follow up on this item. i know it's been a long time, so thank you to you and your staff for making sure this money goes where it's promised. appreciate you bringing this to the committee, and i will go ahead and move to file this item. >> clerk: on the motion offered by chair preston that this hearing, now heard, be filed, on that motion -- [roll call] >> clerk: mr. chair, there's no opposition. >> chair preston: thank you. motion passes, and are there any other items

the city attorney is absolutely correct. we are taking this item to the board for environmental review and approval as a practical matter. first off, i would like to say that this project will be coming to you for your consideration of the full board in march. as you may or may not know or recall, we have a purchase option to acquire this property that runs out at the end of may. one of the reasons we acquired the purging's option is only to give you time, but also give us time to pursue the port property, which is adjacent and part of the project. the state legislation that is needed for the port acquisition has lagged a little bit. and having the board approve these findings, we believe would be helpful and moving state legislation along. there is somewhat of a synergy in showing the state legislature that the city is committed to this project and to the property, and does put a little bit of pressure on them to do their part to move forward with the acquisition of the port property because we need both the private property

for the city. today starts a crucial discussion and in the weeks and months to follow i look forward to engaging in conversations with our labor family and partners, further conversations with m.t.a., colleagues on the board. government stakeholders, public. regional partners, folks at transportation authority which supervisor mandelman chairs. and the m.t.a. and others. i think these conversations will be informed by this report and this discussion today. i really want to thank the bla for their work and outreach to many stakeholders in developing the report. with that, thank you for the advocates who prompted this, bla for research, m.t.a. for working to administer the program. i want to first welcome the budget and legislative analyst and welcome. 15 minutes for your presentation. >> good morning, chair preston and members of the committee. campbell from the budget analyst. i have a brief presentation on our report on options for a public bike share program. i hope this will come up without a pro

overnight the capitol city, kyiv, was hit by missile fire. ukraine's foreign minister calls it the worst attack on its country since the nazis invaded in 1941. zelenskyy say he is russia's number one target. number two is his family. overnight a ukrainian fighter jet was shot down over kyiv setting an apartment building on fire. ukraine has inflicted 800 casualties although cnn cannot independently confirm that. >> the ukrainian forces blew up a bridge to keep russian forces from advancing towards the capitol. li listen to this audio clip. russia ordered 13 guards to surrender on a strategic island but they refused with some choice words. [ bleep ]. all of those ukrainian soldiers who were defending snake island were reportedly killed. russian forces have seized control of the chernobyl nuclear plant, the site of the world's worst nuclear disaster. they're holding staff there hostage reportedly. so far president zelenskyy says 137 ukrainian soldiers have been killed, 316 injured since the invasion began. he is banning ukrainian males from the

trying to take on the city. that's what they are bracing for. we're seeing people putting barricades in the roads, and setting up sandbags and arming themselves and looking for weapons they can make, including molotov cocktails. we're told russia already has operatives in the city, and in some neighborhoods they described them as special forces russian forces or hired forces or collaborators. they are not sure. they do know in certain cities on hill tops that could be dominant terrain, the volunteers say they are fired on and that they try and fire back. they worry there are already elements in the city trying to soften it and take potentially high points, or certainly identify strategic points for this major column of armour making its way here. >> richard, do you have any idea how many people are left in that city? >> reporter: very hard to know. i was thinking about this earlier, and estimates of the city's population vary. it's between 3 and 4 million, but many people have been leaving, just friends and conta

they entered the city in that region. d of course we already know, as john was just saying, from our reporting over the past 24 hours, that russian special forces units are positioned in various locations around the city. the concern of course is this is going to be a big push o'keefe. now, whether it will be a couple days, sooner than that, which i think is also realistic based on what the ukrainian defenses are like. it seems to be the russian objective at this point. look, strangely enough, i had the opportunity within the past few minutes to speak directly to the foreign minister sergey lavrov. i was called out of bed saying he's doing a press conference. will you be on it. so i got him a question. and i asked him on this news conference what it is the russian intention is. i talked about the missiles, russian troops now on the outskirts of the city. what is your intention, i asked him. do you end to decapitate the ukrainian leadership and replace it with a, you know, puppet regime controlled by moscow. i think we have

, the mission pool. this is my city, too, i am fond of it and excited to see the projects move forward. i am an engineer buyback ground and love getting things done. i spearheaded the project agreement. i came to energy to clean it up. i fell in love with the service in this business. in this role i would like to be a great partner with the city and get some things done. energy infrastructure is hard and complex. i think we will be more successful working together. that will always be my approach. i did want to go for a short presentation and then respond to questions. i would love to speak to a few items that have come up in the previous presentations. we have four priorities i want to highlight with our relationship with san francisco. first is safety. reliability. continued investment. partnership. we will go through each of those. we start with safety. we have a new c.e.o. that has drawn a line in the sand. everyone and everything is safe. we know we have a long way to go to earn back the trust of our customers abou

it's the second largest city in ukraine. it's kind of the unofficial capital of the east of the country. and it's a russian speaking city. so like when you talk about the strategic significance, in many way,ra the ideological significance of it, the cultural significance of it,si kind of exceeds the strategic significance, because when we talk, when we heard from vladimir putin time and time again, heir talked about strate, he talked about security, he talkedal about issues east of t country, and the nato expansion that he sees that is threatening russia, but he also unusually, and just theia last couple of he days, really hit upon those ideological historical points, and that seemed toeo be what wa really motivating him, it wasn't,g he only really more recently brought that up in the speech that preceded the attacks where t he said, when he cast doubt on ukraine's right to exist and said that ukraine was basically invented by vladimir lennon, and the soviet union, and he said that it was part of russia, so for him, this city

there are kids all over the city that are not necessarily from the city. the kids are gonna be kids even in a war zone. you see kids trying to get these kids moved around the city, that's where you heard here. people with bags all over the place. as they look at the television. as folks are on social media, and as they're following the events, the pictures coming out of kyiv, our surreal, and their terrifying, and their harrowing. but what has emerged from that, is almost a new president zelenskyy. it was a few weeks ago when the international community was really upset with him for downplaying the threat. the americans couldn't understand what was happening. he wasn't viewed, here, as necessarily a strong leader. this is a man who had that fateful conversation with president trump, during the last u.s. administration when trump threatened to withhold military aid, he was seen as being delayed, now he's above ground, in the city of kyiv, the military has said that he's personally taking place in organizing the defense of the city. he's emerge not only as a

the safest city we can help them have. estions and if you all don't mind, we're going to take questions for the mayor first and then i can take any policing questions and then anything in detail we can talk about off line. we have our team here, we can talk about details off line. so thank you. >> christian. >> where have you seen successes from the tenderloin emergency plant. are you already starting to see some successes in that area? are they pushing the problem around? also are you still hoping to graduate more, we talked about more police recruits in the future to increase the number of officers? >> what do you mean by successes? >> are you seeing fewer reported crimes in that area. maybe that's something more so for the chief. >> yeah. i'll just say that i've gotten information for a number of stories of people that we've been able to help even on day one with someone who wanted to go into treatment and needed a t.b. shot and we were able to do that and get them into a behavioral health bed before we were able to tran

glen park is truly a gem within the city. should be shared with newcomers like me and new families looking to call san francisco home, which is why greenbelt alliance is honored to support the 1900 diamond street project. urban in-fill housing like this 1900 diamond street project is our most effective solution. it will generation 799 tons of carbon less per year as compared to a similar development built in the east bay, and we are so pleased that the developer was so responsive to resident concerns. they worked with environmental advocates and developed a solution to saving trees and providing additional units of housing. this is the kind of climate smart housing that we need in the bay area to reduce our emissions and make sure that local residents are able to grow and thrive in their own communities. in closing, 1900 diamond street development is another step in the right direction for the development of san francisco near jobs, retail, and transit, and we hope that this will inspire communities in the bay area to redoubl

last night, for example, the city was pitch black. the light turned off purposely by the municipality. it was quite deary because we, if you looked out of the window, you couldn't see buildings, you couldn't see the streets, you couldn't see anything. just blackness. as we woke up this morning, we had to do this 3 hour drive to come here. well, it took us 6 hours. that's because of the traffic on the road. there was a lot of ukrainian military deploying regrouping. going in all directions, vehicle personnel, equipment, all sorts of things on the road. and amongst that, there was also people leaving we, i could see from the window of the car and you know, people with their belongings, with their suitcases, we could see pick up trucks with personal belongings on them. and then a lot of checkpoints, and we drove through, we took a side road because the main road was quite busy. we took some side roads, we went through villages and i was observing all the villages. nothing was open all the business. it was shot. yes, food shops were open,

the term. i defer to deputy city attorney. i do while i have the floor in response to supervisor melgar would like to again reiterate. the notion of a caretaker appointee only apply in the case of a successful recall. it does not apply across the board. the mayor's current charter powers to appoint to a vacancy created by death, resignation, election to another office which is resignation, that remains unchanged. only in the case of a successful recall, and the reason for that is because we do not want to have an executive to recall or get involved in recalling individuals because there is a political gamesmanship advantage to supporting the recall because the executive has the power to appoint. in so far as there has not been a successful in over 40 years. 1983 was the last recall that was mayor dianne feinstein and it failed. i haven't done the research prior to 1983. it is an extremely narrow targeted provision. i want to say that to supervisor melgar and hope he will reconsider given i have given how narrow it is there. >>

this is the city center right here, that the russians have moved into the northern districts of the cityning right there. i want to bring in the u.s. ambassador to nato, julie smith. thank you for being with us this morning. if kyiv does fall, what do you see as the appropriate response? >> well, at this point what is happening here at nato is we have had a series of emergency meetings, both at 30 allies and we also met yesterday with our ukraine counterpart. we're obviously monitoring the situation closely. and determining as an alliance additional steps that we could take to make sure that we're reinforcing and defending nato territory. ukraine is a partner to this alliance, many allies have provided and are providing security assistance and we will continue to assess the security needs going forward. >> if the ukrainian government as is does fall, would that create a change in the situation, a change in the nato posture toward ukraine? >> well, look, let me be clear, we have already changed nato's posture just in the couple of weeks, the past couple of weeks. we have had not only the

side did everything to ensure a safe passage for the cranium, so that they could come from key to the city of guerrmo on the border between bearers, close to the border between valerie and ukraine and understand that right now, the russian delegation is headed from minced to towards the city of gamble, and we were told that there is also preparation, security preparations in place to make sure that both sides i feel safe and you know, ready to engage in, in dialogue there. but, you know, i gotta tell you it's unclear at this point if president zelinski is a really sickening oceans, or perhaps he just wants to buy some time for his own military. i mean, we know from what the russian president said earlier, that the russian military operation in ukraine was put to hold on february 25th when mister resilience kiefer is told that he wants to talk and discuss the neutral status for ukraine. but then he changed his mind and the operation was resumed. so this is not something that is going to happen right now. according to the spokesperson for the russian president, president mitre, passcode. he

when we started the invest black cohort it was the forgotten city. we wanted to put lake view back on the map to let people know the african-american of lake view was here but would answer the call and rise to the occasion. if we called they would come. we provided access. to date we have tested almost 20,000 lake view residents and provide more than 3,000 vaccinations as well as 15,000 brown bags. whether it was the volunteers busting down the fruit, sweep up the street, move the vans, all of us are equally as important. there is no hero. we are all the supervisor stars. -- superstars. we work together. thank you for the recognition today. [applause] >> congratulations. >> thank you, president walton. >> supervisor stefani. >> thank you, president walton. thank you for the opportunity to honor an incredible man who has done so much for district 2. jackson for management for after-school programming in d2. our mayor's alma matter. i want to recognize his dedication to the community and under served populations throughout the pandemic. 67% of the stude

i'm glad that the city is acting with the urgency. i urge you to vote to continue tenderloin emergency proclamation and initiative. many of my concerns have been raise by the supervisors. i urge you to apply the key learnings from the tenderloin initiative to get people into shelter housing or other treatment. i'm concerned that all san francisco districts and neighborhoods are engaged in drugs they use get services and get shelter or treatment. for the department of public health, it's been over two years that the study supposed to identify number of beds needed to meet the demand. i urge you to get those beds as well as hire the staff to treat people. i urge more shelter, both those coming to the linkage center and for those in other neighborhoods. insufficient shelter has been long standing obstacle. >> caller: we have 35 listening and 16 callers are lined up and ready to make their testimony. >> caller: my name is sarah dejesus. i notice the one of the long-term goals of the tenderloin initiative is increase long-term connections

all with the goal of expanding the city's footprint out into the water. and we see this happening here in boston and philadelphia. it happens in cities across the united states in this period. it's a very common way of building. and we know from property records, real estate documents, city directories that he is building in not only one of the hottest real estate regions in the city at this time, but also one of the most crowded. so i just want to show you what you're looking at here is the property map, a plat map created centuries later. this is from the early 1900s showing you the names of the property owners who bought water lot property around the same time. so there's the water lot. so this region is also incredibly dense. over 5,600 people lived on roughly 53 acres of land surrounding the wharf. if you're trying to get a sense for what that means and you like to think in terms of sports, we're thinking about approximately 55-ish football fields worth of space. and it's important that we consider this density in relative terms. so manhattan had a mu

the new york city police department is in the vicinity of 50,000. ch challenge -- how many challenges do they have trying to maintain law and order and control in a city of 3 million here? i mean it's an approximation that makes sense. urban fighting like this, don, absolutely sucks up people. this is all about infantrymen on the ground. everything else is a support activity, logistics, air, intelligence, medical support, truck drivers, et cetera. if you want to control something, you've got to get out of your vehicle and start busting people. >> general, very informative. >>> the fate of ukraine being decided tonight. that's what their president is saying, explosions across the capital tonight. stay with us. in fact, subaru u has won most trusted brand for more consecutive yearsrs thn any other brand. no wonder kelley blue book also picked subaru as their best overall brand. once again. it's easy to love a brand you can trust. it's easy to love a subaru.

on the outskirts of the city. and of course, said the news came from the city of a girl of co earlier on friday, where 2 teachers were killed by a shelling ha, and a school. thankfully, the school was close and that will no word were no children present. he would you nation good again, but i think he'd now to give you another tragedy occurred in our town today. ukrainian forces shall to school. as a result, our colleagues, 2 of our teachers have died for 8 years. we have been leaving in fear that our loved ones may get hurt, di i'll call explained i wise that there is no answer please. if you presented that will be via loss. he grant has been given us for 8 years now. he's left without parents. the deputy had teacher has a son, he's in 5th grade. he became an orphan. she didn't have a husband, he died. the geography teacher has a sick mother. no one knows what to do with her now. that's terrifying. when will this be over? we're waiting for a police everyone who is doing it just stopped this terrible war. innocent p

they worry the city might become a city under siege at some point, that the russian forces might turno dnipro. it is a city with a reputation as a fortress city. it is a place preparing to defend itself, preparing for anything. there is a military hospital around the corner, a reminder of what this is all about. there are 400 beds at the hospital and the man in charge there told us that they are all full, so injured soldiers being put in all the time from the front line. he told us that this is now the main hospital for ukrainian fighters in the entire region. to the north, he said people are sitting in the basements, the danger there is now so great that many injured fighters are being brought south to dnipro. the situation is extremely dangerous, people know that here. it is just a hive of frantic activity, it is really quite extraordinary. we can go live now to our chief international correspondent, lyse doucet, who is in kyiv right now. what is the latest there that you can bring us? it what is the latest there that you can bring us?— can bring us? it is the sounds of war again. _

and there are reports of russian soldiers in the city itself. we're going to be bringing you more news as we get it. i'll be with you for the next couple of hours with team coverage. crossing to our correspondence around the works. earlier today i spoke with journalist, andrea yes, go in care of. and i asked her how to describe how people are coping there as well as in eastern ukraine where she had just been before traveling to the capital. and there are people at the train station, hundreds and hundreds of people which kind of get out because there are no trains anymore. we saw long, long q some of the out on the highways for people who keep trying to get out. i would say it's very different because the n p s. people want to get them done, but you still have a lot of people who was coming that the russians were coming. and then on the other hand side was much more dangerous because the shelling was much close. that as far as i can see it now, we don't know what to expect this afternoon. no words from tonight. so i think both areas, i'm not very

the resist news that came in. i'm gonna talk to a correspondent in that new york city shortly. but this caleb, that the us authorities of undertaken what he said, a hostile actually took a telephone call in the middle of the media briefing announcing that 12 russian diplomats were going to be declared persona non grata, kicked out again. we're going to go and talk to a correspondent about that. shortly. a few responds from him. when asked about what this whole conflict at the moment terrible conflict. how it started. he said this is nothing new. it went back 8 years. rush has been trying to sort this out for years. another controversial one as well. of course. russia keeps talking about the knots of occasional d nuts if occasion of ukraine and that will, of course, within ukraine be greeted very sternly because there's a lot of disagreement that is actually a problem. and he also wanted the demilitarization of ukraine will. one reporter pointed out a course that president soleski is in fact jewish. so to call him and nazis is of course, extremely offensive. he said, it wasn't to

we return from the city of separation where the situation is becoming increasingly tense. a lot more military checkpoints, a lot more military hardware then than we saw there yesterday. as an indication of how 10 cities we were preparing to go live to do a live broadcast. we're out of nowhere, seemingly a group of ukrainian soldiers and ukranian police peered with their guns, many of them pointing towards us firing in the air. they demanded that we get out of the vehicle. we threw ourselves to the ground camera mans telephone. busy was kicked out of his hand and 2 bullets fired from a kalashnikov into that telephone. now, it's important to recognize that these men were just doing their jobs. they are increasing phase amongst ukrainian military and security serves is about what they describe as cyber servers. trying to get into cities in compromising military positions. but as i say, our cameras was still rolling when this incident happened. let's take a look. hi. so stop, stop. so filming the new list, good journalist john was journalist also the what about the also reports

they had been on the sort of the beltway, if you will, the ring road around the city. i had stopped there and actually, we didn't know the level of resistance that they had met, the level of resistance the ukrainian forces had been putting up. now we understand that they are moving in. it is interesting, because it sounds as though kyiv is the main priority. kyiv is the place that they are moving in much more aggressively than here in kharkiv, and there must have been a decision that was made to move in or start bombardments toward the center of this city, ukraine's second largest, hard to know what is going to come next here. >> you can't say, matt, obviously, but seeing people, in the last shot behind you, ukrainian, are those people living in the city who are sheltering with you? >> these are ukrainians, and i don't know, we just came down here in the last five minutes, they're ukrainian people, they're civilians, i'm sorry to say, they don't enjoy the same, they don't have the same armor that we're able to have, they didn't buy that, but they are sheltering with us,

we need the city agency to advocate for that. thank you so much. >> chair borden: thank you. >> caller: this is david pilpel again. to follow-up on the last comment, i like to see not equal but a more equal distribution of the pie here. whether it's the discretionary amount of pie for the total amount of pie. there were lots of acronyms in the slides, towards the end. i found it difficult because the ten state good repair categories and 10 capital plan c.i.p. categories don't line up. they are different terms. they are different things in them. it will be good if those categories were the same. i see state of good repair as a need of the agency versus enhance and expand which i see as wants. given the constraints, i would do the needs first or only at this time and then see about the wants. from all the graphics here in the slides, it looks like parking and traffic, for example, has $1.765 billion in assets with more than 50% deemed in poor condition. it's not clear to me how much of the capital plan or c.i.p. would go to parking

the forces of reportedly advanced by 21 kilometers the red dots to highlight head the cities where the russian army is currently fighting with ukrainian army. and nationalists formations scares me. molecules is moscow of aggression and says around $5000.00 russian soldiers have been killed. in recent days, with 30 russian planes and helicopters, shut them, and about 200 tanks destroyed. moscow refused to claim without disclosing though any concrete figures and says it's been making major advances against the cranium military. ah, this video is heavy rocket. artillery has come in from a southern ukrainian city about 80 kilometer from crimea. the mayor has reportedly said this city is under the control of the russian military, although locals are describing ongoing fighting in the area. and this video shows an apartment building, allegedly hit by an overnight rocket attack in the northern city of cheer. nichols, that's about a 100150 kilometers from key f. lower floors were damaged when a fire erupted report say that one woman was injured and the place is now been put out. now in the cap

the outskirts of the city, and indeed the inner perimeter of the city as well. it appears we have columns of armor are now within 56 kilometers of where we are right now. we are near public buildings and at one of those public buildings. extraordinary, really because sir president vladimir zalinski has made an address and this is just literally minutes ago it's daylight. it would seem that he has certainly done this in a, within the past 510 minutes. he said to day or there are many fake reports on the internet that i am calling for my people to lay down their arms. do not believe this. i am here, or we will defend our country. we will use the weapons of this more to win this war words to that effect because i've just got a very fast translation of this. but he re asserted, we will defend our land. and through the last night or through right through to the early hours that defense off of this city was at its real at its height of intensity because there were columns of armory coming from the north, the north west that 2 prongs from bell roofs. that is from the e

it's moving away from the city of for dynamic. now, the representatives of the internet people's republic, military has said that they are now using all available methods to them in order to strike ukrainian army positions. and that has been done in order to free up to liberate for the rest of the territory of the nav. people's republic, which is currently under a ukraine's occupation, and they're talking about cities of maria pulled from a tourist and slab on sca to name or just a few. now the head of the nist people's a republic. denise, pushing issued a statement earlier saying that this operation has gone on right now will be over a very soon. and all cities in the next people's republic will soon be liberated. he also said that they are the next people's republic, sir. army, i have destroyed the headquarters of ukraine's army here in don bos, now, intense fighting is that taken place all across to the nest people's republic especially are closer to the city of murray opal. that's in the south of done that sca about an 100 kilo

the shopping center is being used to host the arrivals in one polish city. you creating troops, sibley's who have been surrounded by russian army forces near the se, in city of mariel, pal, reporting on that. and other developments on the front lines. there is a senior correspondent next what we are hearing is that the city of mary you, pl, which is ukraine's largest, bought a is, is now almost surrounded with, with the garrison. that is there. the russian side has said that it is nationalist elements that are putting up the stiffest resistance and that, that those units belonging to the regular military to regular formations, that they are choosing to negotiate. and in some cases, lay down their arms and return to their homes. but it is very difficult to verify this information at this time because events are developing so quickly. and because there are so few reliable reports close to the front lines where it is extremely dangerous. the situation there is that many roads have been a mind. we have received reports from the city of dance, which is a half way

i love the city. d best interest of the city. that will involve feedback from people who really -- parents especially, teachers, educators as well -- having well rounded feedback and number to choose from that are going to be important. that is my focus. my hope is they are people who will work with me and work with the city. we want to partner with the cool district. you have come to us and we have gone to them. we want someone to work with us so we can help support our children. >> do you have a position? are you open to changes? >> i think that it is the wrong message right now. these people worked really hard. this was a very grassroots effort. i think that people should have the ability if they have a concern with any elected leader. they should have the right to take a recall effort to the ballot. it is unfortunate. to put this on the ballot is very unfortunate. >> you are a part of children and families staying in the budget. so much per household. how will you keep housing affordable so the sta

now scott's building on that effort in hopes of fixing the city's biggest crises. ormally announced my candidacy for mayor of oakland, adding to the list of 14 perspective, mayoral candidates seneca scott says his motivation started by constantly seeing squalor from a lack of housing to growing encampments and increasing fires. and encampment is the visual representation of our failures as a people. as we walk and bike and drive by other every day. intensely aware. at the mutual shame that we feel for allowing ourselves to get here, which is why he says he started neighbors together oakland with an intention to challenge the city to clean up the crisis. when that didn't happen, the grassroots groups sued, demanding city leaders in force encampment management policies. a trial is scheduled for april. accountability. is everything. we have looters who not only are not accountable. they were to anything to not be held accountable with oakland mayor libby shaft turned out, scott says he has the solutions to deal with the city's growing problems, proposing zero tolerance

what, what will the military do when they reach the city? as i say, i think the russians at the moment are trying to no council take over the critical national infrastructure of the supplies of energy bridges and key access points. they'll then try and surround the city, bring up their artillery at that point on leesha. massive fires campaign at the same time, there will be the process of trying to hunt down to break up the leadership, the current in state. do you think there is concern about being drawn into a protracted conflict of the kind we have seen in afghanistan or syria? is that a scenario the russians will be trying to avoid? they will absolutely be trying to avoid it, but whether they can, a lot is yet to be seen. obviously, that we've seen many, many people in ukraine willing to resist. and while the russians might be able to occupy the east of the country, unless they take the west as well, which means a much larger operation, then that will be the means for ukrainians to sustain a resistance over protracted period. what can what
