place types in the region. i want to highlight that the federal reserve will be helping to conduct equity analysis, we understand, through the coordination of the mayor's office of housing and we look forward to that analysis. in terms of distribution of jobs, the region will get tighter around court transit services. looking at parking and shuttles, parking management, these are some of the new ideas that might work their way through. moving jobs closer to housing. this is a question of regional approach. you should be moving our jobs closer to housing, which may be should be in the suburbs -- which is in the suburbs, but our concern as this could spawn a leapfrog effect. jobs in the suburbs, people then take another 30 minutes to commute outside of that ring of jobs. we would not want to continue for repeat that process and pattern of small. we believe that any such process to move jobs to suburban housing would benefit from the caring but transportation pricing policies to avoid too much intra-regional commut

the road beneath that, that is the regional housing target. in terms of the overall housing distribution, this is a very focused-growth scenario 70% would be a priority areas as opportunity levels. it is a transit-oriented approach. it encompasses very little marine field development. in terms of the house in distribution, santa clara and two other counties would take on the lion's share of the region's growth. san francisco would see its percentage of the region's households and populations decline from 13% to 12%. that would be in part because we really work to recognize the existing plan, recognize that making these plans have been will take a lot of investment. but as we move forward, we are open and want to hear from all the jurisdictions, certainly san francisco and the region, in terms of how growth might be accommodated here. there is certainly no better place in the bay area to accommodate sustainable growth. within san francisco, you cannot really read this slide, but it shows the different neighborhoods in the city. again, these are

and in california with the regional plan. the sustainable community strategy sets up a development plan that would be it adopted as part of the transportation plan in march 2013. in terms of the initial vision scenario, this is a starting point for these -- for the sustainable committee strategy. it is not a forecast. it predicts how the community might grow more sustainably. it has major assumptions that are important to note. one is it is not 2011. there is an assumption there is a lot of money to do different things to implement this vision. there is unconstrained funding for affordable housing, for neighborhood infrastructure, for transit. also in terms of meeting the targets, it assumes that every household that would want a home in the bay area can have one. unlike our past forecasts were we assumed much of the housing was accommodated in surrounding regions such as the central valley, under state law, we now have to at least plan for housing needs within the nine counties, a departure from the past. it is important to n

we see no reason that it cannot be among the most progressive, peaceful, successful regions in the world we look at other regions in the world that have undergone change, sometimes violent, sometimes difficult, we see no reason why this reason cannot succeed. wherever we can, we will accelerate our work to develop bonds with the people themselves. with business leaders, religious communities, women and minorities. we are rethinking the way we do business on the ground with its citizens. we want the citizens to help -- set priorities. we are soliciting proposals from a wide range of organizations. we want new partners. we want to invest in new ideas. we are exploring new ways to use connection technology to expand dialogue and open lines of communication. as we map out a strategy for supporting transition, we know that the people of the region have not put their lives on the line just to vote once in an election. they expect democracy to sweep out corruption, extend opportunities. united states will work to create diverse economies where there can be more inclusive prosperity. united stat

goals in the region. as waves of public rage sweep through north africa and the middle east world powers jump on that as many analysts say in an attempt to direct the waves of unrest in a way that's most favorable for them in libya forging relationship with the opposition so that if gadhafi goes their people there to do business with syria popular wrath gather steam some experts say western powers might see the advantages of getting involved there to. these three countries iran and syria are the main countries that will not align themselves with the magical to the global power elites or the western powers interested objectives in more power for good in the middle east as for example egypt will do or used to do with hosni mubarak and definitely kuwait saudi arabia syria is iran's closest ally in the region and the cost to support the remark in syria after income was mentions of you ran syria is obviously a strategic ally for ran in the in the region and without syria iran loses their their bridge their land

in the region but would you not agree though that they have a moral obligation the whole no fly zone the response what's happening in libya is based on a humanitarian issue people are saying this is a people led revolution in libya as well as in syria if those people want to regime change in those countries and it does can from the roots of those people surely they need help and the western nation has a moral obligation to help them you see we're out here walking on a rope we are trying to say that we can decide whether to the united nations or indeed western countries we are going to decide for the people who they should have we have a duty to protect the people but we don't have the right to take sides we have there are a variety of means of dealing with issues there is to resort to the use of force and destroying and killing people from the air is the last measure it indicates the failure of politics what i thinks is sort of ask you to use the force you say there are a variety of means to step in and help the libyan government has actually called for russia to support it but there

hand some believe this won't stop anytime soon so who is next in line for the great upheaval in the region the answer may lie on the surface. president assad is disingenuously blaming outsiders while at the same time seeking a rainy and assistance in repressing syria's citizens this need to be a thinly veiled hint that's where exactly the united states is looking to get involved i think has been targeted for some time now and if you watch the propaganda about syria or washington is now claiming. iran is helping syria oppress protesters what's different about syria. protesters in both cases we know for a fact the united states government was supporting opposition groups and so it's only those two countries where there's an interest in intervening to iran has been a longstanding alliance with syria in this strategically important region right next to iran's arch nemesis israel syria syria isn't the same as libya geopolitically we've always realized that syria is iran's springboard in its fight against israel this is why it will eventually make a powerful sunni jessica impact on iran's positi

mistakes let's say of their fellow dictators in the region. well i agree with what you've said of course but the other side of this coin is that what's happening in all these countries is one single phenomenon caused by the fall of an idea the idea that a family a dictator a. sort of a dynasty can rule a country using security services and the army and basically. raising any political life in the country. that's redundant and that's what's causing all of the to collapse one after one after the other so so what's different is the circumstances but but the phenomena is more or less the same and in fact the formula in which they ruled was the same because they have shown the west. that they are irreplaceable they are indispensable that they provide stability that beyond is chaos. it's unimaginable what would happen beyond them and that's what makes rex that. makes it difficult. to imagine life after that and that's why for example those that are clinging to what shall i thought are more in washington and london and paris than in syria itself i mea

allies decide to go through with a habit of meddling in aiding revolutionary forces in the region the result may be catastrophic if there is foreign intervention in syria yes iran's intervention in response that is a definite and very real possibility just as much as it interfered in iraq when the us invaded that country and if suspicions proved true the world may be in for an entirely different ballgame if iran and the us involved in a real hot confrontation it involves quietly. i turned the un's give the go ahead for an investigation into syria's bloody crackdown on protesters and demanding immediate release of political prisoners and human rights council also wants restrictions on journalists and the internet lifted but even so no expert on u.s. foreign policies joins us live from washington know to discuss these latest developments but a very good evening to thanks for being on r.t. syria's previously refused calls for an international investigation has made saying it's capable of conducting its own i would like to see any change now its position after the un's decision do you thi

didn't in that situation there it wasn't going to get more it was going to corrupt the entire region or go much further in this case it's still there ok maybe khadafi didn't get rid of all of those nasty weapons ok maybe there's a few hanging around still so the computer comparison is not very good in that sense how do you feel about that i mean you know this intervention is giving a message that you know it looks could be critical for many people in the region. the example saudi arabia it's like i said earlier it's not it's not the same narrative all the way through. i think there's a real ambiguity here there's not clear lines between good guys and bad guys in our media like for trade here in the united states like you mentioned earlier at the top of the program the region in which the united states is backing armed forces inside libya is a region that is sent numerous people to fight americans in iraq and afghanistan and there are actually members of the libyan resistance movement that have admitted that they had actually been in iraq and afghanistan fighting against the americans

pure coincidence that a lot of these people came from eastern libya apparently our new ally in the region as this civil war goes on what do you think about that is how true is it. well there used to a a group in libya the libyan islamic fighting group and this was a one of the many groups in north africa that they had some degree of association with i would tell you that what happened is that they get their feet government was successful in essentially crushing this group most of the of the leaders ones up in jail and the ones that survived migrated to other places of. of conflict so this is this is why you find libyans for example in high positions with the al qaeda core in pakistan afghanistan area is because of the defeat of the levy and islamic fighting group in libya and now what happened in libya is very very before this latest crisis is very very interesting because the they got their free government enter into. into these questions with the recently there is leaders of alevi and islamic fighting group and somehow the leadership of the group went through a process of assessing the

we have two messages that are important to telegrapher around the region. the first one is the amount of growth targeted for san francisco, was consistent with san francisco's own vision, should not be taken for granted. it will require significant amounts of policy and funding support from the region in order to achieve it. secondly, development of the samaras should be accompanied as plans and programs chair campos made it clear to the regional representatives the other day, in a discussion of regional transportation policy and funding, to clarify the link between regional transportation and land use policy and providing incentives for local jurisdictions, including san francisco, to achieve the goals of housing and greenhouse gas reductions that are ensconced in the sustainable community strategy. these are not efforts that can be taken for granted, nor which can be accomplished without money. we also have a call for projects on the r t p, community strategy. that is another item we will discuss briefly at the plans and programs committee. it is headed fo
