on 440 turk, it's a $20 million bond, 440 turk was owned by hud and occupied by san francisco housing authority. did the city buy the property? is that in the 20 million? >> what i -- what i do know is the real estate is working toward the purchase of the property so that in order to develop the 440 turk street, the numbers i have seen before at least for the majority of the $4.7 million that were part of the first bond sale would be allocated toward the purchase of 440 turk street. the remaining funding would be from general funds. >> so the remaining funding -- excuse me. the remaining funding for the purchase. >> correct. >> okay. and so additionally then inside the $20 million bond there are homeless service sites and additional sites, correct? >> correct. >> and we will get a breakout on those also? at some point? currently we have on sheet nine, we have got the executive summary for the homeless service sites, the $20 million bond, citing one location and there are others pending, is that correct? >> that's correct. if you were to refer to attachment two slide 17 there are three

well it is ironic because both the turks have a different time stated their absolute condemnation of the syrian government and their unwillingness to deal with with president assad or the government at any particular moment in time now now both of these groups are now looking at the massacres as some sort of peacemaker in this conflict because the first factor is desperation both sides cannot find an ultimate solution to this conflict which is emerge i mean the turks are losing troops and tanks on a day to day basis because of. allies by any stretch of the imagination but they view that deal with assad would be better than making a deal on a very weak with the turks the second factor is the lack of the definitive role of the united states of america which is essentially think it's two main allies in syria or next to syria fighting each other now that's the chaos so damascus has just stepped into this void and is filling the vacuum created by this tension and this crisis is. over to japan now where recently discovered secret government documents have shed light on the practice of forc

area and the and the turks the thing no we're going to proceed. so there is a real risk now that not only that come be if you like a war in the north east either with the syrian forces or between with syrian forces or russian forces in the north east but a conflict between the turks and the americans and a conflict or both between the turks and the syrian armed forces and then. we have israel which has been bombing regularly syria during this period and as you know very well last saturday there was the incident where we were that close to a war very very close to the war with the shooting down of an f. sixteen not only an f. sixteen but the most sophisticated it's been reported that president putin and prime minister netanyahu had a conversation and it was quite heated we don't know what the contents of that were but i tend to agree with you that it was very close to the line right there the escalation was necessary but it's also showing force ok i mean it's also debated to what degree syria took the initiative to defend itself over and over the y

many turks in germany celebrated the result. president add one won by a wider margin here than he did in turkey. i did some research on the german results only half of the turkish voters registered in germany took part in the referendum but four hundred thousand voted yes and by so doing we can democracy in turkey. everyone intended to divide the turkish german community and to intimidate referendum opponents and that's just what he did. there's a huge divide actually uses two wingers and you're here either for or against conscripts lago there's no in between missions neither side wants to have anything to do with the other kind. i'm quite concerned by the fact that many turkish germans feel closer to president ed one than they do to chancellor america how do we get people to take democracy and freedom of speech more seriously. that's a decisive issue for germany for turkey for europe for all of us the turkish exiles aren't going to win this fight by themselves. if european people nature t. care about that lot is going on in tur

in hindsight if you if you look at the situation on the ground which is developing the turks would be wise not to enter a conflict with what is a quite jubilant and stronger damascus today than it was perhaps one or two years ago. syria commentator terry mackey thanks very much for your thoughts on this latest development thanks. a former director of the cia has admitted the u.s. interferes in other countries elections and domestic affairs when it's quote for a good cause artie's word ghastly evidence that where the double standards are in play no one likes a spoiler medlars interference especially when it comes to american elections there who really pure and spoiled and unsullied or they were before the russians got to them they say but judge not lest ye be judged especially when you have a fetish for getting your fingers into foreign elections when i just don't mess around other people. are only for the very good do that through vine video and those former c.e.o. for a very good cause. said the former director of the cia it's funny because when america does it when someone else's ev

what well i'm often called a turk mostly by neo nazis telling me to go home by which they mean turkey will some call me a kurd because my mother's native language is the kurdish dialect. and my father's native language is turkish but i think all these descriptions are just more projections than anything i was born here and grew up here i only have german citizenship and i'm very happy with that it puts you in relations between turkey germany and the kurds are a major political topic for you because turkey is using german built tanks to attack the kurds in northern syria because germany's ally in the fight against the islamic state you've called the german government cowardly why. because the german government is turning a blind eye to a nato member violating international law that. this clearly started as a war of aggression and violation of international law because the syrian government in damascus did not request this intervention and there exists no un security council mandate for it either and turkey was not attacked so this is a breach of international law and i expect a democra

other turks in germany have been persecuted for speaking out. we meet latif accuse a good sociologist who's now living in frankfurt in turkey she supported efforts to end the fighting between the kurds and the government. that prompted a sharp attack from president eduard. i'm a bot. these fake intellectuals' accuse the government of carrying out a massacre there are no numbers are. you intellectuals' are not educated you are evil white people and these are. the ones remarks had serious consequences for that she felt. she shows me some social media comments from the same day at the time she was working at a university in the town is doing his job suddenly she was targeted by critics. coverage of ed once comments spread like wildfire that there are no words being a regional t.v. station portrayed much as a piece of cake a terrorist at all and you know what's particularly appalling is that this sociologist who works at the university and dues just has actually put her name on a petition. latifa lives in this dormitory room in frankfurt she feels s

i think that the turks the turkish president of russia. already intends to escalate so i don't think that this particular incident will be used as a kind of justification as we heard in his remarks you know he intends to go on to members and then go on elsewhere reaching up to the iraqi border but i think he will face some very very huge monumental challenges because even in our three in as i said the turks are encountering such difficulty. will be a different story that could threaten a potential showdown with the u.s. ally and i don't think turkey is ready for that so i think that the turks are in a somewhat difficult position but order has climbed this ladder of escalation and i think the problem he faces is who can bring him down allow him to withdraw at the same time saving face it's quite a big predicament i think which he faces as a western middle east expert and contributor with our money. thank you for your time. but things seem to be heating up in the skies over the region syrian air defenses have responded to new israeli raids n

placed but there's confusion over who exactly shut down the plane both the turks and the russians are blaming a moderate group backed by the united states saturday was also the deadliest day for turkish troops since the assault on a fleeing began last month a turkish soldiers died in fighting some of them after their tank came under fire from kurdish forces stephanie decker has more from the turkey syria border. this is a russian fighter jet shot down by opposition forces. i mean remember the pilot manages to eject but he didn't survive. for these syrian fighters it's a huge symbolic victory. russian the syrian government have intensified their bombardment of province over the last two months government forces a slowly capturing territory in the south what is the last remaining syrian province under full rebel control. they're inching closer to the city of soccer which lies on a strategic road linking the northwest all the way to the capital damascus territory that is now almost fully under government control. and in syria's complex web of regional and international allegiances some s

whereas the russians would actually give the green light for the turks to act in against the kurds in exchange for the russians and allies actually to capture parts of this of this. the government offered mainly adored between the mosques and thereby. that offensive against the kurdish controlled district of africa is now into its third week turkey's backing fighters from the free syrian army against the kurdish people protection units. turkey considers the y.p. g a terrorist organization even though it's the united states is most effective in fighting i still turkey has been intensely to areas there is a base just right behind us and this is in line with what politicians here are saying the first phase of this operation the push the y.p. . away from its borders. all along that border a steady stream of military movement vehicles i mean and buses packed with syrian f.s.a. fighters this is a very visible operation but it's also a difficult one the white p.g. know the terrain well and they have been preparing for this it's the latest frontline in a war that year after year simply change

certainly on the turks to not take any actions of that sort don't want them to engage in violence butwe want them to keep focused on isis now turkey and the united states of course our nato allies they have been for decades but in this particular conflict they support sides which are diametrically opposed and certainly when the fight against isis may well be over that conflict those tensions in northern syria are unfortunately only at the very beginning of what could be a long and difficult drawn out process. we asked middle east expert and contributor with ai money alley risk about whether the tragic incident could be used by ankara for further escalation in syria i think that the turks the turkish president of russia tell you about already intends to escalate so i don't think that this particular incident will be used as a kind of justification as we heard in his remarks you know he intends to go on to members and then go on elsewhere reaching up to the iraqi border but i think that he will face some very very huge monumental challenges because even in our three in as i said the tur

again, we are constantly engaging with the turks on this issue.aging the ypg to de—conflict this and keep the focus on isis. i mean, that is the core of us policy, that is what we are doing. it takes a little bit of time sometimes, but we are constantly engaged on this. the country you are specifically responsible for as well as iran, is iraq. there are supposed to be elections in iraq in may. do you have full confidence in prime minister abadi, are you backing him and you want to see him succeed in those elections? oh gosh, the iraqi elections are really interesting. we are not backing abadi specifically. we think his leadership has been extremely positive for iraq, not least of which pulling it back from the brink in 2014. what i would offer is, i think it is a reflection on the progress that has been achieved in iraq, that it is one of the few countries in the region where we genuinely don't know who is going to lead the country after may. there is a couple of main shia candidates. whoever wins will likely amalgamate a list with several, probab

i think that the turks the turkish president of russia. already intends to escalate so i don't think that this particular incident will be used as a kind of justification as we heard in his remarks he intends to go on to member and then go on elsewhere reaching up to the iraqi border but. i think that he will face some very very huge monumental challenges because even in our three and as i said the turks are encountering such difficulty. will be a different story that could threaten a potential showdown with the u.s. ally and i don't think turkey is ready for that so i think that the turks are in a somewhat difficult position but.

the turks are encountering such difficulty. will be a different story that could threaten a potential showdown with the u.s. ally and i don't think turkey is ready for that so i think that the turks are in a somewhat difficult position but or do one has climbed the ladder of escalation and i think the problem he faces is who can bring him down allow him to withdraw other same time saving face it's quite a big predicament i think which he faces. south korean president says that he's ready to accept an invitation to.

are afraid that assad will sell them out to the turks and asaad asaad probably won't both go on. to discuss this further i'm joined live by security and political analyst omar now could everyone's announcement be a reaction to the reports that assad sending forces to the afghan region. yes i think i think this is too asian at this collating and as usual one must recall that innocent civilians are trapped in the in the middle as your report just showed so we should first remind that but i think that this situation now is precarious because the syrian government forces will have to move to our three and there is no other choice aphelion is part of syria so therefore if they let the african down and they do not actually interfere that shows that they. lenient with their vision of the territory and that is not the position of the syrian government in fact this turkish escalation brings the city as together it creates more unity among the city and it makes them realize that in the end they will have to be under the authority of the government the legitimate government in syria and tha

turks will keep and the turks have taken a big north of aleppo they're pushing into it left province and now a free man would give them a contiguous region stretching from the euphrates in the north all the way around and down. in this big arc and that's in serious worry that like the americans the turks will stay for the long haul and they'll lose territory and this may lead to the imposition of an alternative government that may become quasi permanent we don't know what will happen there so the syrians government and is very eager not to allow and of barker to push further into syria and to grab these regions will then be displace the kurdish kurds in the free and put syrian rebel groups in power there and set up an alternative government just were just to sum up your points on on our breaking news this hour do you think this cease fire is going to be possible to implement considering the terror groups are not part of it that was always the sticking point that terrorists and rebel groups are intermingling and that is the problem that russia iran and the syrian government always had

so the turks really doubling down. one of the things that the turkish president said is, look, right now what his troops are trying to do is take the high ground around the town of afrin to then later move into that place. but of course we have to keep in mind this is a turkish stronghold. these are kurdish -- this is sorry, a kurdish strong hold and these are kurdish forces that have a lot of experience in fighting pretty tough battles. that's something that a turkish military is noticing. big setback for the turks but at the same time, as you said, the turks by no means saying that they're going to withdraw or slow down their pace. they say they're going to double down and actually increase the pace of their operations there in afrin, and then possibly also in other places, in syria or at least in that zone of syria, as well. which is very concerning to the united states, for instance. of course it partnered with a lot of these heavily kurdish forces. some of them called the syrian democratic forces. others simply ca

well what the turks are proposing very simply to the american says this is this saying to the americans we're nato allies we should be working together so ditch the y p g militia who pose a threat to our national security work with us and we will be happy to station our troops wherever the u.s. troops are as well the americans may be for lack of trust or because of they feel that they require or need the presence of the kurds on the ground haven't really a breach of that are more keen at least appears through the public statements that have been coming out particularly from the pentagon in the security institutions in the united states of america that they're much more willing to work with the militia groups rather than with their nato allies but if we're trying to picture a scenario where we would see some sort of agreements that agreements would essentially stipulates that the american and turkish forces would operate side by side or at least in cohesion in different areas that would be the optimum option for maybe a less preferable one would be that they would actually essentially ca

state possibly with some kind of concessions from federalism or else we're just going to leave the turks to. back to you frankly so the russians are probably going to play this by ear and they're also going to make sure that they also keep the turks happy. how concerned diplomatically should our other players in this conflict in the region be i mean how much more messy could this get do you think it can get significantly more messy but like i said it all depends on what forces are committed to any assad regime intervention if it's just these militias semi official anyway so the assad regime can distance itself from it although the official state news has been kind of pumping that up. because they'll say well hang on this isn't our official army it's not the regular forces these are irregulars so if they were to commit regular forces though we have to bear in mind that the syrian army has historically lost every single war it's ever been involved and it's never actually one of war so it will come up against a nato quipped trained and you know a highly proficient and professional fighting

turks are encountering such difficulty. will be a different story that could threaten a potential showdown with the u.s. i don't think turkey is ready for that so i think that the turks are in a somewhat difficult position but. has climbed the ladder of escalation and i think the problem he faces is who can bring him down allow him to withdraw the same time saving face it's quite a big predicament i think which he faces. i think seems to be heating up in the skies over the region syrian air defenses have responded to new israeli raids near the capital damascus the israeli military confirmed its attacks twelve targets in syria including both syrian and iranian facilities israel says the raid was in retaliation for its fighter jet been downed by the syrian military jet crashed in northern israel with the pilots managing to eject however damascus says that its air defenses hit the plane in response to a previous attack by israeli forces and the perspectives in syria and israel in the situation differ in certain respects but mo

in order to use this policy to educate turks persians and arabs and also it is good for israel to be created is satellite not independent dependent united states creators on just perfect for america and most of people in turkey most of. us and all you know columnists date think that. you know yeah america has something like that as a project. to create if we all could use or so ok so the united states. i mean it began that the us is exporting democracy in lino in liberalism i'm sorry it's a nice it's a fairy tale but it's not just for the border force go ahead dan go ahead they might have wanted to they might have wanted to create a little basically syria and kosovo why p.g. areas in syria lead to a partition and it was actually not so much the announcement the border force but the announcement of the two thousand us troops the announcement by tillerson that the two thousand u.s. troops were basing going to stay there effectively permanently i mean the wish list of what you wanted to achieve was made it a fact of permanent they're not going to have any of those things anytime soon so

would say that's not true and claim that the turks have killed civilians over the past few weeks but there has been on the ground some steady progress in the advanced word softies and as we've been reporting jamal eleven more turkish soldiers were killed yesterday i mean this is this is making their free nupur ration extremely costly to turkey. costly it is yes it's what that brings the number of military personnel who have been killed since this began to around thirty one president vegetate are to one when he was addressing the crowds yesterday in on the on saturday rather and in istanbul he said that this was war and it was expected that losses were going to be made but he promised his people that more losses would be inflicted on the opposition the white p.g.a. as he calls them the terrorist organization inside syria and indeed although around thirty tucker soldiers have been killed you're talking about at least one hundred fifty by p.g. fighters who have lost their lives in these this this latest confrontation between looks like a shipment of trees and the kurds. fighters there w

but the question is do the turks have any other options? while it is a risky decision, that will certainly be a breaking point in turkey and u.s. relations. will he do that? that the jury is still open. the u.s. it still using the air pace, so the logical thing for , and heas to close down didn't do that. but thedn't do that, other side of the argument is that it is going to be difficult for him, so we have to wait and see what american officials visiting will go towards. >> i do think it is possible for him to walk back on his rhetoric and switch this around. he controls the media and conversations there and he can come up with a new sort of line for success, and he has to show something, most likely something like setting up security out host -- outposts. back away from that if he can come up with another gain he can show, and he can rationalize it in a number of different ways, he is good at that. >> the united states promised turkey that the ypg will pull back and the local administration will be removed from ypg influenced, and that is

are afraid that asaad will sell them out to the turks and as sad as ad probably wants both gone. militias have denied reports that they've reached a deal with ourselves forces those say they are in talks with damascus i was photojournalist danny makki who says surprisingly enough both turkey and the kurds are now looking to us for decisive action well it is ironic because both the.

the turks are showing absolutely no signs of wanting to slow down this offensive. they said they wanted to get the operation in afrin through with. there are many observers who are saying this is taking quite a long time, considering the amount of fire power that the turks have on the ground with those many tanks and also some of the rebel forces that are in alliance with the turks there, as well. one of the things turkish president has said is right now the turkish forces backed by these fsa militias as well, that they're taking the high ground around afrin and then they want to move in. but, you know, one of the things that we have to keep in mind is that the kurdish forces that are on the ground there in afrin, this is their home turf. they've known a lot of very tough fighting in that area, and of course, some of them at least have been trained and supplied by the u.s., by some various other sides as well. so this is shaping up to be a tough battle. but you're absolutely right. certainly not one that the turks say they're going to be backing down from despite t

just for the for the turks it's. seems to be the nucleus or could be come to local use of an independent kurdish state in the middle east or firsts they want to talk to me and then they want secession from syria and that could to try to correct kurdish territory from the or could kurdish minorities from turkey as well and so that's the major how to put it nightmare off the target leads we have to talk of course about some of the other big actors that could potentially enter this conflict when it comes to offering because we know that the u.s. is turkey's a nato ally of course but it has been providing assistance to the kurds in the fight against the so-called islamic state which the kurds have really been credited with very much helping in the country russia has been backing syria meantime does the conflict in offering to have major implications for the u.s. in moscow absolutely i mean we are used to use the term syrian civil for civil war but actually it's an international war at the same time and for the united sta
