we've seen in the us government. in some cases successfully you do too should press what they consider to be jogging through green green acres in the west even in parts of the us government there is a prejudice against muslims which is reflected in the us foreign policy and he contributes only atmosphere which these events are unfolding to pakistan you see shooting the drone strikes day is overwhelmingly opposed by pakistani kenyan by. political point stance a bully by the government this is a tremendously resentment in pakistan against the united states fortunately the military in the cia and to this cause even though nearly a former and current u.s. diplomatic political officials believe that the car that the drone strikes are counterproductive are causing united states more harm than good. still to come on the prowl where tear gas and stun grenades are used to disperse a protest in bahrain as more demonstrations against the monarchy break down. and the u.k. says it has no plans to increase welfare payments in the n

the us has provided israel with one hundred fifteen billion dollars all the expense of the us taxpayers yet the us government bends over backwards to contort to their every desire take a look at this obama campaign video put out to show that the president unbreakable stance to israel. when i touch my head against the western wall and place my prayer book written sage stones i thought of all the centuries the children of israel that long to return to the region home because we understand the challenges israel faces. in my administration have made the security of israel. a priority america's commitment and my commitment to israel and israel's security is unshakeable. it is actually it's unshakable all he says but you know it's even crazier than this fierce allegiance the fact that according to mitt romney obama is in support of israel and us yet apparently it's all competition take a look at this respect to write a business to defend itself and we stand with with israel it is my firm conviction that the security of israel is in the vital national security interest of the united states. th

has such a reason in this case but we know for sure that the case has been know that the us government admitted the fact and we also know that no official charges have been brought against mr assad so far but it only means he's not charged at the moment they could as will charge him and danny time in the future but we also know that the u.s. continues to give their day there on the case and theoretically it could be the source for an indictment which would supposedly be used to issue an international arrest warrant. in line with us law we have sent a request to the american authorities to confirm that they're indeed conducting an investigation of is it if it is if that's so why then is mr is songes defense not taking part in it if the defense has no access to the case that in what ways the own goal on collection of evidence consistent with us legislation. as soon as we clear that up will be able to say whether in this case is in line with the law so florey the statements made by some prominent american politicians indicate that he could be indicted under the espionage act a law which h

the neighborhood. not a place that attracts negative uses. this is a map just showing the -- >> sorry, mike. could you tell us who cmga is, the boundary line. >> cmg is the design firm we have hired to work on the plan. we hired a team to develop this. i should mention our principle designer, scott, ones able to be here. that is why i'm here. we have calder gillam, he can answer technical questions. i h be brief in the interest of time. we have a lot of information but not all * is in this presentation. this map shows the various ownership of the area that is oscar park. and oscar park is basically the area underneath as i mentioned the new tgpa bus ramp and the existing fremont full some street off ramp from interstate 80. howard fulsom west of first. most is covered * by ramps, as you can see. this maps shows there are a lot of layers of ownership. some of the property, bus ramp obviously is owned by the tgpa. some will be owned by the city. transfered from caltrans. some is a caltrans right of way. we are in conversations with all those entities, including caltrans, to work out the various

foreign minister lavrov said another serious concern is the use of unilateral sanctions particularly y western countries he believes that these unilateral sanctions taken outside of the united nations are for example in syria here. u.s. and european countries imposing reduces the credibility first and foremost of the security council and also can escalate humanitarian crisis further foreign minister lavrov said that at this point it is a very important time you believe for international relations to come together and the credibility to not be compromised even further by their it's by there being many divisions within the u.n. security council on a variety of issues meanwhile syrian activists report more casualties although rebels claims of advances on several fronts in the city of aleppo have seen no breakthrough on friday the u.s. defense secretary we poor in syria have moved some of its chemical weapons for security reasons but said country's main stockpiled remains intact and under government control president obama said the threat of chemical weapons could be a red line for the u.

and the use of the wording tells us that includes things like conduct that falls below the decency standard it is not limited to that, nor is it limited to of a mandatory duty. it is related to the office -- the duties of office, including these things. >> do you agree that it is eight two-step process that we have to deal with? one is, wasb misconduct? and two, did the mayor acted reasonably in exercising his discretion? >> that goes to the question of whether there is a minimum level of wrongful behavior that we have to have. for example, jaywalking. that is wrongful, but does that mean that an official should be removed? that is a tough question. it is doubtful that the people that wrote the charter intended that. and fundamentally, we have the decision that the board of supervisors has to make, essentially, knowing the consequences that the sheriff will be removed, is that an appropriate consequence? they do have to make the determination of whether the consequences are appropriate. here, this case is so wrong for that there is no question that the consequences are appropriate. >> but y

he's proud of the collection, he tells us. but his house is on the small side and he's running out of space. he's already sold 100 kilos of nails. >> to begin with my wife didn't understand why i was always leaving the house early and coming back 2 hours later with a sack full of nails. >> he doesn't see much of his family these days. but to siswanto, it's a question of principle. people like him shouldn't have to waste their hard-earned wages paying for over-priced tire repair work. >> of course i'm proud that my husband is doing something for the community. but i'm afraid that the people responsible will be angry with him will suddenly attack him or something. >> it's not as if the people of jakarta don't have enough to put up with. endless traffic jams are a fact of life. the police battle daily with the permanent gridlock. dealing with nail traps is the last thing they need. their best strategy is to catch them red-handed -- as happened to one perpetrator recently. angry commuters got to him faster than the police did and w

duffy that it will not impact the change to the kurpt retail use, so i'd like to hear you help clarify that question. >> i'll see if i can. i think it's relatively straight forward and that's -- the billing is already zoned as a retail use establishment and that's simply not at issue today. today the issue is some demolition work that will be done in the interior of the building. >> is it currently being used for any reason? >> no, it's vacant. >> and there will not be use of any -- you will not be selling any medical cannabis or dispensing with any medical cannabis unless and until this future permit is issued? all the appeals have been resolved? >> that's absolutely correct, mr. read is always having the necessary permits, he's not going to start selling marijuana until he gets his permit to do so. >> okay, thank you. >> just a general question because i don't really know is sequence, so the planning department has okayed the use, is that correct? go ahead. >> yes, i think it's very important distinction twob made here, the board has made this distinction, the appellant has understoo

forget that the president doesn't want to use the word, whatever term he is using now. have we ever win it. don't we have to at least admit there is a continuing war? >> look, the fact of the matter is we have been at war with radical islam for years and they clearly have a radical islamic movement in every country in the region. their objective is to dominate each one of those countries and establish a calife. to do that the number one strategic objective is to drive the united states out of the region and that is also the iranians objective as well. so the fact of the matter is much of this is about trying to separate our support for this moderate government in libya and also for the new government in egypt. they want to use antiamericannism as the vehicle to undermine these new governments. >> judge jeanine: general, let me ask you this. if what we are trying to do is to protect this country, isn't it more important that we at least be honest and admit that we are in the war as opposed to saying we are going to get out in 2014 and you won't have to deal with us any mo

it's very hard for me to see how the united states. president can get us to war with iraq. which leads me to conclude that if in fact conference is not coming that the traditional way of merit america gets to war is what would be best for u.s. interests if in fact the iranians aren't going to compromise it would be best to somebody else started the war what if the iranians are going to compromise would be best if someone else started the war is anyone listening to this war mongering hawks like clawson are openly calling for the us to strike iran first in order to jump start world war three oh but it gets better. i mean look people are ready and submarines periodically go down someday one of my not come up who would know why. we can do a variety of things if we wish to decrease the pressure i'm not advocating that but i'm just suggesting that. this is not a either or proposition and you know it's just sanctions has to has to succeed or other things we are in the game. of using covert means against the iranians yeah man let's just sink a submarine and blame it on iran great id

see if we should make important interior renovations, there was a reason why the green cross got the use permit. the green cross got the first medical cannabis dispensary permit and it did so because the various boards that the green cross has been in front of recognized mr. read to be a responsible dispensary operator. they decided that medical cannabis dispensary are important there the seriously ill patients would rely on marijuana as medicine, the general plan in san francisco is to allow for medical cannabis dispensary and it is important for parents to be given to responsible mcd operators, as far back as 2005, he's known to be a med can dispensary cannabis operator, he brings enhanced security to the neighborhood, he received an a plus rate -- rating from the better business bureau. he will enhance this neighborhood, but in short, the argument that is are being made here about the place being located within a thousand feet of a daycare facility, planning code section 790.141 specifically exempts daycare facilities from the thousand foot rule. he is admittedly according to the appe

the u.k. why is that us. initially the drone operators from britain were going over and operating out of the u.s. recently they were relocated to a lincolnshire air base the program again is secretive there's questions being asked of our government at the moment but we don't know where you know where the drone strikes are going we don't know necessarily who's been killed and it's also some people think it's a positive to have the drone industry here in terms of it will create jobs but creating for jobs creating jobs for sume and destroying the lives of others you've also made a film about so-called collateral damage in iraq which you would knowledge was made possible by wiki leaks and its release of thirty seven apache helicopter killing and wounding civilians in two thousand and seven it was bradley manning who is the soldier accused of releasing that first you said he did the nobel peace prize how do you feel about what's happening to julian ourselves at the moment. quite disgusted at the way julian has been

enemy which is aiding the enemy. we can use is the enemy. and what is we can use it's a platform for whistle blower to get information out to the public we are doing what any media organization should be doing we are doing journalism and the implication is.

the u.s. i thank you for being with us here on r.t. the u.s. and its allies claim they want an end to the bloodshed in syria but the rebels say they are being urged from abroad to fly on that sort of peacemaking policies that well it's a standard policy of the u.s. government it is it is designed to oust rulers of regimes that are independent of what might be called the u.s. military empire and replace them with pro u.s. rulers so we have the dichotomy of supporting dictators in country their loyal to the us government in trying to oust dictators that are not loyal to the u.s. government. now washington has made it clear it will keep supporting the syrian rebels and bypassing the u.n. watching the speech making at the world body really achieve at this point then. nothing it's sheer propaganda the u.s. is committed to the ouster of the assad regime and whenever you hear the united nations it just designed to do for the american taxpayer the american voter create the appearance that the u.s. is interested in spreading democracy and freedom when i

however i think our proximity to the us has its benefits as well as disadvantages it's great to have the world's biggest market just around the corner. with a lot of billions of dollars worth of mexican workers is crucial for our economy as for the problems we share immigration and illegal drugs it's a challenge to be a neighbor to the world's largest illegal drugs consumer market with all the rest of the world trying to smuggle drugs into the u.s. across our border this complicates our relations but i think we have managed to establish a constructive dialogue at least that's true of my government in order to fight these problems together because we have nobody in print at home to off this program . what i see and the u.s. has had to elect a new president do you think anything is likely to change after the election a sexy a miss. nothing changes before the election there is always the temptation to join one's pre-election count in the competing parties often undertake fairly unfriendly steps to secure support from various target groups there were such incidents in the past i can tell

enemy which is aiding the enemy i.e. we can use is the enemy. and what is we can use it's a platform for whistle blower to get information out to the public we are doing what any media organization should be doing we are doing journalism and the implication is that journalism getting the truth out there is considered. an act of an enemy which is rather against the muslim or is it published. i mean i'm not trying to discredit what wiki leaks is doing but. there's a difference a little bit of a difference it seems to me like wiki leaks is accepting information and publishing it they're not going through it they're not asking questions about it they're publishing and if we can leaks julian us on to others a part of weeklies decides that it's important for the public to know it's classified information they will publish it so is it journalism or is it publishing it is part of the journalist jim is the community it is purely of course that it is what is journalism but and the duty of journalists who are secret so that will shed a light

the netherlands and stay with us here on r.t. till ahead a year on of the occupy protests still alive and kicking anti-corporate activists in the us set to return to the streets of manhattan ahead of the first anniversary of the start of the occupy movement. and western sanctions to pressure iran into talks over its nuclear program having little apparent effect as the country announces oil sales. but before we get to any of that julian assad could find himself in the clear as forensic evidence in a swedish sex assault case against him points to the alleged victim's story being possibly untrue there was no trace founder julian assange has d.n.a. on a key piece of evidence submitted to support the allegations assad has always denied the charges maintaining they were trumped up to get back at him for his wiki leaks activities a distinguished spanish human rights lawyer belters our cars saw and is now heading aside is the legal team as the whistleblower works to evade extradition to the u.s. is renowned for fighting the most controver

we shouldn't use our resources in the end of next sections but we can use our resources to help asia to grow and it struck investment in the which will diversify our economy in general terms to mean russia can feed asia and provide it with drinking water. drinking water agriculture processed food was needed to make russia more competitive globally infrastructure tax regime. we believe that will be proper adjustment in monterrey opposed to buy russian center back when to have more financial institutions on the eastern part of russia and of course we need to open the russian economy open the already doubled year but with opel in terms of we need to welcome more investors still currency is the yuan and ruble how they develop as russia's economy turns east there will be an. opportunity for russian companies in the top of that market similar in your art. because you want to ruble are increasingly used in global trade how does that affect your business and how do you feel about that generally the decline of the dollar. there is no chance for the let's not. improve the cost in terms of

chilean dictator augusto pinochet explains the tough task ahead of him in how taking on britain and the us. a sponsored day of the studio we have juillet ourselves as a lawyer a force that is judged famous for living high profile criminal cases drug trafficking corruption and terrorism he also issued the arrest warrant for forward chilean dictator augusto pinochet but this other song hello mr garcia well this had hello north of you said that everything that's happening to us is extreme and just as why is that. it isn't justice because the u.s. is conducting a criminal investigation into we killings and that's according to a few but nevertheless very reliable reports in which this case targets mostly julian assange but other founders of the organization are also involved in this respect it is absolutely clear to us that such investigation and prosecution i would join a list who is in essence just doing his job violates freedom of speech in the us the country which prides itself in always defending freedom of speech feel of value firmly stipulated ensconced. that this is a big concern and la

we also found that 28% of employers did not allow, do not allow workers to use the amount -- use the money to enroll in healthy san francisco, and essentially what you find is that more than half, more than 50% of businesses are placing restrictions on how the money is used. of the 172 businesses that reported and posting surcharges on san francisco consumers, 172, 101 of them actually directed more money than they actually spent on health care. so, i look forward to the report. we believe that the facts speak for themselves and that the facts that are outlined in the report by the civil grand jury and by the office of labor standards and enforcement clearly show that we still have a loophole in san francisco. thank you, mr. chair. >> thank you, supervisor. president chu? >> thank you, mr. chair, and i want to thank supervisor compos for those opening remarks, i have just a couple of additional points that i would like to make. first of all, i want to thank the members of the community that brought this issue of this loophole to this board and i think it raised some important issues

for the year the us equivalent of the are up a good way coming in for the u.s. population to rise up and and the. sense that. human rights have been deteriorating in the us freedom of the media is not as it was before and i think it's pretty much the time for the us populations realize that. their country is one of a very bad track and that same joining us i think i think they could save the future of the american people thank you very much for your time thank you. you know how sometimes you see a story and it seems so you think you understand it and then you glimpse something else you hear or see some other part of it and realize everything you thought you knew you don't know what i'm charging welcome to the big picture. limits. overcoming a barrier like this seems possible. but then you crave something higher. and when you reach stuff you. know do whatever it takes to get all the talk of the world on our tease. her out. there are those you just really needed to survive during the spoken is the time to give money to one look i'll choose lol well goldman the fis

groups within hours of the us all over the region so it's really blow back time to the us now let me out for the u.s. does entirely losing pakistan's people's trust mean losing the trust of the pakistani government very much so yes i mean those are the it's a really tough situation here and i think the pakistani people are fed up with a government which hasn't been strong enough in standing up to the u.s. and so i said you know i don't know what's going to happen it's going to be really interesting. the second week of unrest and we're seeing police in pakistan throw stones back at protesters it's a tactic that's enraged crowds further in other countries so why is it that they're doing and why they're proceeding in this manner it's the wrong course i mean they should just allow these protests to take place the violence this very take place and they want to deal with it but i think it's going to encourage more violence and i think the problem is you've got governments across the region which don't reflect the people in bahrain we see this bahrain got recently carol where we've got the.
