so we are so happy and proud, and i am so excited here to sign the legislation to make our official, unofficial official. with that, i would like to introduce the person who authored the legislation and the legislation that we are going to sign today, that is supervisor raphael mandolin. >> thank you, mayor. thank you for your words and thank you for getting us the rotunda today. it is fabulous. they put us up in the -- what is it called, the mayor's balcony. this is important. and i am super excited as well that this is my first signing ceremony. you know, i want to just acknowledge what an amazing institution our freedom band has been all of these 40 years. we have been celebrating a lot of the anniversaries this year and marking sad occasions as well. the art has played an important role in getting us through the tragedies over the last 40 years and getting us to the triumphs and to a better place. i am excited that we can honour the work that was done by the former supervisor and assembly man in having the band's -- the official band of san francisco. this is the first time it is really off

the special counsel's office has had access to an unofficial copy of mr. stone's closed door interview with the committee in september 2017. mueller's request of the official copy suggests that the special counsel could in and out be pursuing an indictment. why is that? why does he need the official copy rather than just the unofficial copy that he's been working from? quote, in general, if prosecutors want to bring a charge of lying to investigators, they must obtain a certified clean copy from the transcriber or clerk who took the statement in order to present it as an exhibit to a grand jury. quote, because the roger stone interview was conducted in executive session with house intelligence committee, the transcript of his remarks officially belongs to the committee and may not be released to anyone. unless authorized by the committee. so basically robert mueller does know at least roughly, unofficially, what roger stone's testimony was. that closed-door testimony that he gave in the fall of 2017. but you can't bring an unofficial transcript to the grand jury if you want that grand jury to give you an indictment based, in part, on that evidence. you nee

data.t is the official unofficially, things are turning bearish. would you not agree? es and like what you are seeing. come march, there should be some compromise between the u.s. and chinese authorities in terms of beefing up and supporting growth. you are starting to see a little bit of improvement on the fringes. soybean purchases. auto tariffs have been dropped. this may help promote growth and sentiment on the margin. >> think you for that. users canterminal interact with the charts we have been using. >> check that out. some of the recent stuff we have wrought here. this is bloomberg -- brought up the are. here. this is bloomberg. ♪ back with bloomberg markets. the hong kong exchange, evaluating new plans to boost can set of this -- competitiveness. the cornerstone investor arrangement. the current system gives a stronger voice and they have had and other markets. hong kong is competing with listings from china. nike surging in late trade. earnings $.52 a share. regions alsost topping projections. report cents ast campaign featuring colin kaepernick. isults sugges

the special counsel's office has requested a -- an official transcript of roger stone's testimony to the house intelligence committee, which is something that they would not need, since they have an unofficialranscript any way. they would only need the official transcript if they needed to take that document to the grand jury for the purposes of securing an indictment. so that seems to be final stages on a long-time adviser to the president, roger stone. similarly in the butina case, the prosecutors are talking about the imminent possibility of other defendants related to this case, particularly those who may be charged as a result of the defendant's cooperation. that all happened today. and that doesn't even get into the fact that also today, something was filed in the michael cohen case, which was filed under seal, and they didn't screw it up. and in his case, the court noted that that file was "placed in vault." [ laughter ] which means today we all learned that there's a vault at the federal courthouse in new york that's hearing the cohen case, and they have some cohen stuff in the vault. even though he's already been sentenced to three years in federal prison, there are more sealed doc

the u.s. no i'm afraid not not as of now at this point nobody rect it officially or unofficially nothing from sources and nothing for officially from the white house state department or department of justice those of the three to entities who are actually involved in any decision going to be made in terms of extraditing mr goulden fits in the gloom and perhaps we won't hear anything until tomorrow or not at all because there are suspicions from observers and experts that maybe something got lost in translation there between president trump and president adelong because of course the d.o.j. and the u.s. government is looking at the request of turkey to extradite mr assad to legoland but that this is going to happen any time soon it's rather unlikely and has not changed what sort of. story and i want to bring you in why is extraditing and so important for the czechs government. well some turkish ministers have gone as far as described turkey's osama bin laden and reason why he's seen as such a danger he said he's not only blamed for masterminding the failed coup attempt from his network of follo

not the full 20% that unofficially officially denotes a bear market but close to ask the question. just how smart is the ample bear? here is data cnbc analyzed from bee spoke investments in the post war era there have been 13 declines of 20% from the prior high. the good news five times it candidate result in recession in the next 24 months. the bad news,he eight times economy was already in or on the verge of recession. a coue of examples, in 1987 a big stock decline but no recession. in 2001 a recession was three weeks away from that 20% decline. no recession in '02. and in '08 and '09 when the stock market fell 20%, the stock econom in recession. a bit more bad news from the 20% ak stocks fall additional 8% on average during bearing bear rcmarket. the increase one year later, 14%. the meanest of all the bears we cod find, from 2007 to 2008 there was a 52 opinion hers decline. the nicest of all bears, 1956 to 1957, when stocks fell just 21%. right now we are about 15% below the september 20th high. so moving away from bear market tey. that's good news if we go back there markets

regarding the official structures and the unofficial quote, thought i'd start with an irish ballad. and on the 12th i loved to wear the sash my father wore. the role of the orange order and its overwhelming influence and privilege from 50 years ago and then to look where it is today with ian paisley jr. suggesting to his constituents that they get passports from the irish republic where that 50-year timeline has brought us. thanks. >> what i'm going do is i'm going to take a few and -- right behind -- and then in front again. >> yeah. hi, i'm chris curran. i'm in my last semester at the school of foreign service, graduate school. my question's a little more i guess current and forward looking. probably for the bureaucrat in the room. speaking on the police structures with the cross-community initiatives, i'm wondering now that the more blatantly political violence has been phased out in the last 20 years but you still have a lot of those paramilitary structures in place and you have some dissident republicans, and you still have quite a bit of punishment beings and shootings within

every monday. >> maybe you can introduce this one. >> bring this home. >> the official handshake of the city now, the unofficial handshake. >> supervisor safai: is that document -- can you share one of those documents? >> you have a colored version and it's also on your call layup. >> supervisor safai: there it is. >> on one side you'll see there's photos from the actual handshakes and these sort of larger posters. and then it will fold down into a smaller almost postcard-sized publication. >> supervisor safai: great. okay. i'll bring this to my daniel webster. that will be exciting. >> thank you. >> thank you so much. >> supervisor safai: okay. any members of the public wish to comment on this item, please come forward. you'd like to comment on this item? >> i do want to comment on this item. >> supervisor safai: okay, come to the podium. >> totally different from why i'm here today. >> supervisor safai: hold on. there you go. okay. go ahead. >> i'm the elf in union square for the last 25 years. if i could get a copy of this, i'll get it started with the kids. >> supervisor safai: great. all right. any other m

she'll admit to acting at the direction of a russian official to establish unofficial lines with withmericans having power and influence over the benefit of the russian federation. law enforcement officials have identified the unnamed american as butina's boyfriend and long-time activist. and kremlin-linked torgz and russian president vladimir putin back in 2016. here's what putin had to say about the charges yesterday. >> as part of her plea deal she will work with state, federal authorities in exchange for what could be a shorter prison sentence. >>> lawyers for paul manafort say they need more time to evaluate allegations that he lied to the special counsel and breached his plea deal. they had just learned new details earlier in the day and more information can could be on the way. his legal team said it needed to decide which if any issues to contest. they originally disputed the claims but did not repeat the assertion to the judge yesterday. meaning they may drop their challenge to mueller's claim. we expect to learn more in a court filing due january 7th. frrls the n next hearin

the direction of a russian official. her goal, according to the prosecutor, was to quote "establish unofficial lines of communication with americans having power and influence over u-s politics." she faces up to five years in prison and will likely be deported once she's out. (vicki)minority leader nancy pelosi will likely be to the next speaker of the house after striking a deal with critics in her own party... in exchange for their votes, pelosi says she will serve no more than four years as speaker. our washington correspondent jessica smith reports. house democratic leader nancy pelosi has fought off an uprising from members of her own party -- who said it was time for new leadership. pelosi appears to have secured the votes she needs to become speaker of the house, by agreeing to term limits for the leadership. the deal limits the top three democratic leaders to three terms. they could only serve a fourth term if they had the support of two- thirds of the party.
