i think he wanted to take over the control of the city and run the city. we had a city manager that was doing a tremendous job and before him we had another city manager, henry gardner, doing a tremendous job. as small as our city is, 430,000 people, we had three different major teams, athletic teams, in the city of oakland and for our size that was phenomenal. that wasn't because we had a strong measure x mayor. it was because we had great city managers. i don't think they ever really got credit for all the great jobs they were doing, but the city managers were people that were versed on what city management was all about. they were educated on what needed to happen. we have a $2 billion budget here and you have a mayor that just came in because of ranked-choice voting, they don't know anything about managing the city. they don't know anything about running the city. it's been a constant decline with all of the mayor since jerry brown was here because of that measure x. i think we need to revisit that measure x measure that was passed and get rid of it and

and is going to further put, expose the, to the city and government, and it's not the only the city and government that is losing the ground here. it is also a huge blow for your on, for you run for russia. and of course for his will live as well, because these were the main back are to support this of the city and government since the beginning of the civil war in syria, in 2011. know if the position guys own homes. it means that practically redeem control territories costs lead to into 2 parts. so that would be no connection from the capital to the cost of cities at the mediterranean sea. and that is a huge below, logistically the who's below and is going to raise the russian a business that are taking place at the best. and of course, the lines it is going to cost or if you rouse len, please. $22.00, a $211.00 on just means that the supply chain supply chains to, to, to, to is below are going to be interrupted. and the city and government is going to be secures in only in the tab at the mass cause and practically that would mean the city and government is now losing the control of th

key figure in the cities creation. bob hoover is still a pillar of the community and 89 years old. and i've been in east palo alto since 1959. when i got here at the old place, you could buy a property on the peninsula. was here in east menlo park. and so that created a community that was very much like the premier that i would raise and in the south where everybody black and they live in the same location as probably the only picks i have were needing to talk see to and a suit 5 or 6 months after i had moved here, a gentleman named ed backs was recruiting people to join him to try to fight the surrounding cities. the city of palo alto had to take his land belonged to east palo alto. so it backs realized that you were losing a valuable land and it said we need to become a city so we can control our own destiny. not depend on somebody else to make decisions about what your quality of life was going to be. we've got to build a power so strong and so powerful that nobody will ever mess with a black man again and there wher

government troops in the west of the city. get the opposite and seize control of the home. a military air base then penetrate the city from the west side after that, the roads, the center of homa was clear ahead of them, blah, blah, blah. how does that fit just kept the same scenario? was there pieces in the east where the opposition reese thomas central prison and freed all the prisoners. after that the entire city was wide open to them. here is another group entering the city. they're celebrating to firing in the air. they continue to arrive in the heart of the cities main square. what syria is defense minister says what happened and how much it was only a talk to can the government forces us to close to pacific national feel that way that we're in good positions in the battlefield. now forces were able to regain control of some areas in order to bring safety and security. sometimes administered calculus, we need to withdrawal to re deploy forces based on the people of syria and its soldiers are able to overcome all the chall

is the 4th largest city and syria is the product center location in the center of city. i go next that used to the west no to the, to the south. and it's also a just sent to the other white villages, which is very important also to the west of the of the city where we are expecting to have otherwise the christian community of president bashar assad. yeah, i do rely on the government for protection. i think exactly, and the opposition is running actually is to calm them down because you have been courting for them at for them not to not to get to panic because of the, of the advance of the opposition because as we have the vision, indeed there's today talking about them and forgiveness and talking about that they are not seeking revenge because of the, you know, the deeds of the, of that easy inside the, that thing actually it's gone down. i mean, the, the lawyer list be, is the, can we maybe see this part of the story clear for of yours? this is significant. the opposition fighters, a lead by h t. s which as are corresponded explained, or former al qaeda even though they

with the panoramic views of the city skyline. now my favorite thing about the buses is the politeness of most passengers listen to how they strike the driver when they're disembarking. the bus system received a major upgrade about 2 decades ago when the city built a rapid bus transit poor adult with separated high speeds. bostwick transport experts say the bus waste one thing brisbin got ride brisbin. fust system works just fine. you can leave on one of these high speed bus white station. but for river ultimate city need a lot of patience. some routes run early every half hour or every hour. that makes it really hard to plan a journey. the heavy train system is a radio network with several lines, bringing passengers from across the region into brisbin city center trains carry about a 3rd of all public transport users. but that's only around 3 percent of the total joining. there are 10 lines including one to the airport. some lines offer fantastic to you, like a regional trains running north, which cost right below the volt tenant

but now do a position in the city. and they are seeing that they have taken the control of that are city, not the whole programs because there is a province at have several out of towns as well. it will take quite time for them to take the full control. but that is absolutely significant because it simply. ready means that practically the cd and go in then being disconnected from it. so them. so then the neighbor, jordan and jordan already has an almost at the have close the board to gauge with syria. that is further isolating the city and the city and government. but one thing, so the notice here that one to talk about the position in data approve and this is not the same or position that has taken the control off i level. and then how much just in the course of a week, we are talking about the different position diesel position in the south, is not related to an affiliated with a current issue, a position or the turkey back seat and national on your position or with h t s level position in the, in the programs. rather

so let's take a closer look now the city of homes, it's syria, is the largest city home to more than a 1000000 people. and it's just 180 kilometers away from the capital, damascus, with no major obstacles along the way. for ron holmes, offers land car door to it's a lie has been up 11 and it's kept triple luxury disrupt this supply line for us, the phone of homes could squeeze its forces to northern coastal areas like protest and attack him, making it difficult to supply its forces and conduct miniature operations elsewhere in syria. the area of my colleagues thought of how do i spell it create according to clock, the director of a search at the see fun, good, a good intelligence and security consultancy. he says the paste, so the opposition factors advance is striking. an amazing lightning strikes quick offensive by the rebels that have overwhelmed a size defenses. his military is melted away in a matter that few could have predicted. it just shows that while many have focused on the last week as the unit of analysis, the corrosion of a solid military has been actually years in the m

so the city of people, i need to be the fact that they with a lot of communication inside city of the group, assume people even with people who are part of the previous regional hospital, where i've given enough. sure. and you know, it guarantees that they would not be victims if they side of the city of people and detached themselves from the city of egypt. and that in itself, i think, explains many, many occurrences of why the previous regions are me. eh, you know, withdrew from main areas and main cities and from strategic positions as well. all right, we have to leave here now and i'll have a president of the syrian negotiation commission and former president of the syrian enter government. thank you so much for your time. thank you. thank you. i appreciate it. great. now buster of other side is in moscow where he and his family have been granted asylum on humanitarian grounds. and that's according to several socialist r t. all right, yeah. the russian foreign ministry said that the president had agreed to step down after reaching an agreement with the other warring sizes and syri

when the city policies work against them. this legislation gives our overworked, underfunded caseworkers the time they need to help families increase their economic stability. research shows that longer subsidies dramatically improve outcomes. families receiving 25 plus months of support have an 86% chance of achieving stable housing, compared to just 50% for shorter terms. the extension is about breaking cycles of poverty, preventing child abuse and giving families a real chance at stability. it's an investment in our city's future. it gives families the time they need to overcome barriers, whether it's securing employment, addressing health issues or navigating complex systems. in conclusion, this is a child protection measure. by providing stable homes, we're creating safer environments. we urge you to move this on to the full legislation. thank you. hi. good morning. thank you for being here. my name is ali. i've been homeless for seven years, and the last year and a half i've been living in transitional housing, waiting f

homelessness oversight commission to hold an annual hearing and issue an annual report analyzing the city's implementation of the rapid rehousing program. while we added trailing legislation in july that extended hsh rapid rehousing programs for up to five years for eligible families this included only the 180 subsidies funded in this budget process. it excluded programs such as those receiving calworks subsidies through hsa with limits of 1 to 3 years. we know that some families will not be able to become self-sustaining and pay their full rent within one year of a program. some can do it in two and three, while others need a little more time to off ramp and address the multiple barriers to achieving this goal. regardless of the funding source or program in which a resident is enrolled, we want rapid housing extension for up to five years to capture families who might fall through the cracks and would otherwise return to homelessness if not for this extension. we have to stop the revolving door of poor families in san francisco, going from shelter to shelter, to finally being housed, only

, sees the city of hamil roughly 24 hours ago. they and their supporters have been celebrating on the streets that before the war homes was serious, 3rd largest city and it's on the may on highway 2 devices. opposition forces have made significant gains in just a matter of what weak taking control of major towns and cities from government forces. well, this advance council for major supply line for assets, troops between the capital and the tax. yeah. and the northern coast, that's also where russia has an advice. the fights is on now within a 160 kilometers of the capsule. a sol, solved of dollars near the turkey city of kent. it's close to the syrian border. so how does it look this out? what are we looking at a countdown to the full of homes? russell are indeed still the opposite of forces on advancing toward the city of homes and the close or they are getting. of course, the more difficult it is becoming, however that stay but ad was still continuing. and now they're just around 6 to 5 kilometers away from the city of homes. so
