we're much better off to have 3 bedroom units rather than 10 one barroom units. all of those policies particularly the mergers go in the wrong direction. 20 percent of our housing units have 3 bedrooms or more we should encourage for unit with more bedrooms. only 31 percent of the building are owned will i owner coupled. we should encourage people to buy their units. if we were a situation where we had a huge prepare dalmatian of ownership i could see argument for preserving units, however, we're building thousands of units all the time wore mixing upland use policies. this came up a few years ago when we looked at endanger conversions. david chiu put successfully a time when you could put a garage if there had been a no fault conviction. often those are different people and had nothing to do with the earlier conviction it was for their own uses and improvement for the property. even though we try to discourage the evictions it's the only way to free up a unit to occupy it they prefer to have a unit that helped several generations. so those are you know, i oppose

more than ten trillion dollars and when we speak of the united states we're talking of course the united states taxpayers and the simply enormous. national debt state debt city debt that the united states has built up in the process not to mention the cost in lives both of american lives and as a. veteran of the u.s. armed forces myself i can attest to the feelings of the rank and file among the military and that but also in those injured and in the lives of those that this messianic idea inflicts on other countries david mark used the word virtue is the american have a virtuous foreign policy is that what makes it exceptional i think. i think america i think america pursues its interest and advances its principle it doesn't try to make the world over in its image but it does need to be true to principles that many believe are not american but are universal i'd like to just go back to a couple points one domestic one international in a point where the united states is about seven is about seven percent it's not twenty three percent it's still too high and there's a lot of criticism on bo

i am not an alley of the united states, of the government of the united states. but there are countries that are allies that are procapitalist, proimperialist, and that's their right under the constitution, this is a freedom of thought, but have them spy on their own allies or spy on their businessmen. but the business in brazil, that's intolerable. you cannot accept that. and that's why it was a general protest in the world with these types of espionage. >> i want the ask 24 question now, and then get your response to it. the button on this section of our conversation for me, is this. the u.s. is your country second leading trading partner. shouldn't the two before working to improve relationships. i will guest your thoughts after the break. this is talk all al tomorrow night, fault lines investigates wage practices in the restaurant industry. >> the employers have the upper hand out here. they can steal from you and face very little if any consequences. >> basically this industry is saying, "we don't have to pay these workers at all. they should work for us but

united states there's less than a national order so the united states has a responsibility and has a role to play internationally well a lot of people would say we've got a rodney is that the united states makes the world unstable in its unilateral actions around the world just the opposite. well we're only about two weeks ago from the american attempt to set off a third world war fortunately there was a bit of backbone coming from russia could i go into the mystic situation leaves are going to say go ahead that. the two unemployment is twenty three percent that's john williams shadows that's and it's double that for young people there's fifteen million people on earth food stamps the real incomes of middle classes are gone backwards for twenty five years and we are told that america is the exemplar of the free market it isn't it's not a sort of it's a fascist society the government has bought to bill you are dumbed down bullets which are exploding bullets to fire at its own people and i am big being told by david that america is an exemplar to the world it is now moving straight int

jim if i go to you first in washington these words coming out of riyadh is that bluster i mean the united states and saudi arabia are attached at the hip and they have been for for decades it's just words coming out of riyadh well i don't think i have any particular insight into what what king abdullah is thinking and obviously he's kind of the supreme decision maker it's not the words are not just coming out of out of riyadh itself they're they're coming out of washington because prince turki just gave a very fiery speech and defiant speech. at a conference here a couple of days ago. i think there are two schools of thought one school of thought here believes that it is mainly bluster that. saudi arabia is so closely and tangled particularly on the military and security front with the united states that it really can't sue for divorce but there are others who believe that saudi arabia is really quite serious and that it's looking for other foreign partners great powers including for example russia itself to wean itself away from washington over the long term and that there is a strategic

states is done the united states. right now the united states is unbeatable for that. second, the value added on resources, how is putting its money where its mouth is. we're putting 5 billion dollars against the national gas advantage that was talked about. we are putting thousands of jobs at work or at -- at work. this will create up to 2 million jobs in the next several years. a lot of that will be exporting brains and of course a little bit of iran. >> thank you, andrew. [applause] having heard from these three global business leaders, gene, i know one of your strengths is officiating the long-term growth of our country rests with private sector job growth. help the audience understand how in creating policies you think about the comments you've heard this morning and what you have heard of the course of your tenor and how you make decisions accordingly. >> ever since president obama was first running for president, he very much had a focus on what you have to do to lay the foundation for the private sector to mak

well, the last time he was here that particular unit was an active gang unit.g to go back to an active unit. >> go ahead and have a seat here on the blue couch. >> but since he's been gone some things have changed. >> housing unit b.a. no longer houses active orejones. but newly arrived arrestees pending assignments to house units. >> he panicked a little because he was afraid. and he admitted to nap. >> because i was so scared i didn't know what's going to happen to me the only thing that came to my mind was kill yourself. i don't have the heart to kill myself, sir. i don't. >> all right. come on. >> before sanchez can be taken off suicide watch he must also convince staff psychiatrist dr. garcia that he's not suicidal. >> have a seat. >> so i got scared. and the only thing that came to my mind is if i tell them that i'm suicidal. >> so basically, you said you were suicidal for safety concerns. >> that's pretty much it. >> okay. you're really not suicidal? >> never came to my mind. never crossed my mind. i don't have the heart to. i have a 2-year-old son. >> a

states in united states in america. some elected transmission, the rights of american mass culture, and the reception of american mass culture in europe between the end of the civil war than 1820s. well, it starts at the end of the civil war and begins at the question of how bob asher at civil words you reconstruct them put the country back together again. of course, many historians look at the political systems. they look at how a national political structure gets reassembled. but we argue is in addition to this, one needs to take into account how a culture or how many cultures get perfect together again as part of the reef formation the united states. the united states becomes a real interesting entity because it is growing by the compounds. it's increased immigration and americans are confronted with the real challenge in terms of its process of reconstruction. how really to u.k. people of different backgrounds, north, south, not just people from different ethnic backgrounds, sometimes from the united states. how do

the united states just realized aid for security assistance. joining us now to discuss the american-pakistani relationship and u.s. drone policy is david sedni. from new york fisa patel at the brennan center for justice. and the director of the atlantic council's south asia center. thanks to you all for being here. david, we'll start with you. how realistic is it to say that we want to see more transparency transparency. >> they operate in areas that the united states hasn't the ability to operate in any other way. for them to be effective they need to be secret. >> but they play so poorly in terms of the public relations. we'll hear from the prime minister of pakistan but we're hearing from the citizens of pakistan. we heard from the teenager who met with president obama this month, and one message she had was that drone strikes are harming relationships and creating more terrorists. what is the opinion of pakistan cities. >> the pakistanis who don't live in the affected area are opposed to drone strikes because that is the message that they'v

states what can the united states do to prevent all of that i think the sad answer is that the united states doesn't have the power of that it once said it doesn't have the leverage that it once had and so it. tries to work through allies through international organizations and occasionally on its own and deal with the court of public opinion the best america can but there there isn't a lot in the toolbox right now they're not many tools there well thank you for this recognition i think this is a very bold statement and a very on a statement on your part now i have to admit also that russia and the soviet union . i'm no strangers to grand geo political ambitions and you know trying to make the world a better place and one lesson that learned very well is that when you fight wars abroad you may lose in a domestic front as a former ambassador to saudi arabia i would like to ask you what are the chances in your view of saudi citizens rising out and demanding more of a say not only in the way that country is run but also. in the way that country conducts foreign policy as well i think two

>> usually it's not the size of the united states.hen a country defaults--first of all, a country does everything in its power to avoid a default, and it will engage with interested parties long before a default would actually occur. in order to avoid that default. they would like to negotiate a solution or some kind of alternative scenario. >> pushing off debt. >> yes, proverbial kicking the can down the road? you would find some other solution rather than defaulting on your correct. >> now you think that this is a game of chicken and each side is waiting for the other side to blink first. if we go down this road and the president does not use some form of executive power or there is still some stalemate how does that impact the view of the united states internationally, particularly those who hold the most debt, the chinese and japanese? >> i think it's very problematic if the sense that we are already in a period in which people around the world are questioning not just does the united states stand by its arrears, but the whole que

something that was not available for russia and the united states, and the united states and soviet union for digging, and in interest two years ago that opened huge field of possible cooperation between our two countries, both in terms of supply of uranium by the way we have it today as a result of the so-called agreement that is expiring this year, and it's for ten years. we were using ewe rain yum extracted from nuclear warheads to move to the energy level to feed your electric system, and the head of energy told me in terms of the kilowatt produced, probably the biggest supplier of the united states of sources of energy from outside of the united states, and it's a good agreement that proved to be gladly implemented, and it's explayer pairing, but it doesn't mean we'll stop working together, but it will be a normal commercial basis. we also see some increased interaction in the research, and i hope that in the future we'll see more and more interaction on science and technology development because the united states and russia understand that in the long term we will have to develop ne

unit, the two bedroom units is $1,265. since block 49 is structured similarity to affordable housing site, it's being treated like an oci affordable housing type as far as design approval. rather than utilizing a phase project that a market project will pursue. staff is requesting approval and we'll bring several -- legal documented for approval early 2014 when the project is closer to closing. lanar will convey block 49 to the agency at no cost and have a vertical lease disposition agreement between the agency and the block 49 housing developer and it will also a ground lease between the block 49 developer and the agency. for this approved before you the staff said that it's complete and consistent with the phase dda, the climate and the phase one design for development guidelines. as it's common at the schematic design stage there a few remaining designs issues that need to be resolved in stages. i'll give an over view of these at the end of this presentation. all elements of the schematic design went through a process w

the position the united states -- of the united states has not changed.ve he has lost all legitimacy, all opacity to govern the country. tore -- therefore it is hard imagine any resolution in any other way. he obviously has implants, we understand that. but the russians have said that he accepts geneva -- he obviously has other plans, we understand that. but the russians have said that he excepts geneva-1. we accept the russian statements on face value. the opposition has told us in the past that it's their intention to do it. but they have to make up their mind in their new format in about a week when they meet for their assembly and none of us are going to prejudge or precondition what they would hoose to do in that process. >> the next question will be from jonathan rugman from channel 4 news. >> mr. kerry, saudi diplomats are letting it be known that they will limit their dealings with washington in protest as what they see the lack of action on syria. what has the saudi prime minister told you? econdly, do you think this corches in geneva will happen

our guest today is that it should be russia's and voyage to the united nations mr churkin it's great to have you on the program with us today. now the resolution on syria is obviously so the resolution on syria is obviously a victory for russian diplomacy but the resolution has in a way also restored the u.s. credibility that was kind of lost in recent years so with the inability to make a joint decision it at one time saying do you think or we'll see more decisions like that well i hope we will i mean the most important thing about this resolution is that it's really paving the way for the implementation of this project of eliminating all chemical weapons. in syria and making sure that no chemical attacks can be possible in the future so it's a very good success for russia and i think good success with it for the united states because we have been working together very closely with our american colleagues on this and of this resolution allowed the united states to avoid this very sorely and delicate issue of the possibility of use of force in syria of course for us it's a very impor

worse than the united states but i do think that the united states and the united kingdom have a particular responsibility here. all of the countries that are have co-operative agreements with the states should be revising them because the united states is in a particular position of power and that's not just because it's rich and powerful it's also because all our data lives in the states so they have a lot more power over individual privacy they have all of these opportunities to spy on people and they've got extremely lax laws and we're unable to challenge those from abroad so i think united states has a particular role to play in cleaning up its own act but so does the united kingdom europe's a place where rights can be protected the of the legal frameworks so let's see the european leaders stand up and do something significant and actually stop these states sharing agreements or rights and as you say germany or germany early expressed anger not only over americans but also britons spying what is london's position in this potential standoff between washington and those e.u. countries th

>> not how we have defined the number of units or the type of units was as we go forward and build units, formally we say those are replacement and those are not, that formula isn't touched by the department of finance, the determination of our obligation. >> indirectly. we he have to -- we have to be clear about the formula and we're at that point over several years of experience, we have developed a formula and we need to keep it because it would be subject to abuse or either an understatement or over statement that is subject to the obligations. we have a formula and it should be definitive. >> is it an actual formula? i studied in engineering. >> it's based on funding. if you have 100 units in a redevelopment project or richardson apartments off hey street, that's a 100 percent replacement project. in other cases there's a development in the first phase of hunters view that some were replacement units for those 37 families that were relocated from a different section and there's any housing that's counted as replacement. so the dollars dictates the formula. >> i see. when we have an

time frames are coincide with the with the framework agreement which was reached by russia in the united states in geneva in the us on september fourteenth this is a difficult schedule but i think there is reason to believe that this is a realistic schedule provided there is cooperation from the syrian government which we see is there and also provided there is required cooperation from various opposition groups and one important element of this resolution twenty one eighteen is that it makes demands and not only on the government of syria but also on but it's a position groups of the muslims who i was going to. do you trust that either side in syria to comply do you think both sides will comply. well the we will hope they will but that's not just a matter of trust the resolution does say that should there be. failure to comply by any of the parties and syria then this matter will be considered by the un security council which measures will be taken and those could be various measures under chapter seven of the u.n. charter including various measures with regard to the opposition groups

from a coveted seat on the united nations security council the saudis are furious over washington stance on syria approaches to iran and the failure to support a meaningful peace process on behalf of the palestinians the kingdom of saudi is going out on its own but where. to cross talk saudi arabia's foreign policy i'm joined by my guest in washington james carafano he is a vice president of foreign and defense policy studies at the heritage foundation also we have me he is founder and director of the center for democracy and human rights in saudi arabia and we cross to jim lobe he is the washington bureau chief for into press service and publisher of loeb blog dot com all right gentlemen close up rules of i mean you can jump in anytime you want jim if i go to you first in washington these words coming out of riyadh is that bluster i mean the united states and saudi arabia are attached at the hip and they have been for for decades it's just words coming out of riyadh well i don't think i have any particular insight into what what king abdullah is thinking and obviously he's kind of the s

and a blind eye to the situation you know unlike in syria or egypt or any other arab country the united states hasn't said much about bahrain that critics connected to the strategic positioning of the american fifth fleet in bahrain is that how you see it. i think that the fleet the film he plays a role in the u.s. position towards the behind human rights situation or should i say the deteriorating human rights situation and behind but i think there are also other other elements to it you were also looking at the saudi relationship that has existed for a while now and which is also based largely on economic ties as well as security ties and so any stance on behind also of influences in affects the relationship that the united states have has with saudi arabia which is a relationship the they don't want to have any problems with and so they would rather turn a blind eye to the human rights situation rather than. risk having a difficult relationship with saudi so what's your february two thousand and eleven protest rally really an attempt to have and other arab spring episode i mean the d

the united states. so we see good examples of economic partnership but if you ask my whether i'm the satisfied with the level of interaction between russia and the united states i would say no. 40 billion for economies like yours and ours is almost nothing. it's more than, it is less than several percent of foreign trade which doesn't put the united states for us among the biggest economic partners and by the same token russia is not your deepest economic partner either. however the capability to develop our capacity to develop this trade ties enormously high. on top of that i would say that we are lacking interaction between the societies of our countries. we certainly would like to see more dialogue between the legislatures of both countries because when people talk, when they explain themselves, when they explain what they do, and i always underline, when they explain what they do not do, the elections getting healthier and a little -- and my third point that is related to both first around the secon

on and try to green the world grant if the united states is going to grant let me ask you a question grant let me answer the question so the united states obama won because of pressure from the saudis from the israelis they're going to attack iran do you think he's going to ask the american people always a good idea to attack iran you know that's never going to happen the reason why you went to the american people in syria because he painted himself into a corner you have to thank mr putin for this not the american people sorry. well he did paint himself into a corner i know something a maverick way was to marry i i you know he had a resident whenever there's been triggering events whether it's the gulf of tonkin whether it's pearl harbor you know all of the groups that are lobbying for non intervention tend to disappear after a catalyzing event takes place and the region at this point is just absolutely on a hair trigger for that sort of thing to happen you know look at it if you really look skeptically we have russia which announced to the u.n. in a report early this year that the

the fee is $20,000 per unit. there was fee relief provided to tic owners who previously participated in the lottery. there is a 20 percent to 80 percent reduction per unit. this particular unit received a reduction from $20,000 to 8,000 per unit, a 60 percent reduction in fee. there is a deferral process that is allowed for owners under 120 percent needing income, there is an eligible expedited process for next year. the appellant does not meet the waiver standard for the reduction. the appellant is receiving a 60 percent fee reduction. the ordinance does not specify how the co-owners divide the conversion fee across units. they can be unequal, they can be equal. it's up to the owners. the fee deferral option was not pursued by the appellant and lastly using this appeals process to grant hardship waiver which is not permitted under the ordinance will create a certain potential for a confusion in future appeals. >> colleagues, before we go to questions of city staff, we have a 3:30 commendation from the office tha

manchester united. tell me about manchester united. >> well, the thing is i think this goes back to the 1950 disaster, sympathy which it was justified because it was a young team going. it could have been a great team. and all the players were 21 years of age. and most of them had a wife. but that was only the start of the story. i think the real story was when the european cup within ten years. i think that created what was that got bigger and bigger and bigger. my first trip out to taiwan in 1988, thousands outside in the corridors knocking on doors. and that love of the club has only grown. >> rose: what accent do i detect in your voice. >> west region. you have some scott in you also. >> rose: i do indeed. i don't say it as well as you do though. >> no, no. >> rose: that wouldn't be your nature. >> no, no. >> rose: here's one thing you said. for a player and for any human being, there's nothing better than hearing well done, those are the two best words ever invented in sports. you don't need to use

on the initiative of the united states was a mistake but absolutely but the united states also went to war if if the rock and they didn't how they do that i'm going to have to have had very little to do it very little to do with the o.p.c. w. and it had a little beast everybody has a very strong organization it did it did and we in the united states the bush administration at that point alleged that saddam hussein had weapons of mass destruction which he did not and many of us spoke out myself included publicly saying there are not weapons of mass destruction they were all destroyed in the ninety one gulf war he did have weapons of mass destruction in the one nine hundred eighty s. and they were destroyed in ninety one and then all further destroyed and sealed up by the united nations inspection commissions back in the one nine hundred ninety s. but your question of whether the opi study is capable of doing this destruction absolutely first of all it's not the opi study that does the destruction it's the responsibility of the state parties so it's the responsibility of syria but syria

i think the united states is the war weary. we were all hearing from our constituents overwhelmingly that they did not favor any kind of action in syria. i was one of the few who publicly said i supported a strike in syria. and i supported it not because i like strikes but i think that it was a way of telling assad that the president said using weapons of mass destruction, gassing his own people, is not acceptable. i think that the situation in the congress was very iffy. i was one of the few people who felt the president did not have to, the congress initially. i felt and still do the war powers act is the president 60 days to come to congress. i still feel that way. the president felt otherwise. i respect that and i think that when he came to capitol hill, he and his people found that there was a lot of resistance. i think there was frankly more resistance on the republican side and was on the democratic side. it seemed very strange to me that many of my republican colleagues who have supported the war in afghanistan, the war

united states and. in to me that building the only chance to you through those. with everyone listening. to you feeling exceptional just like you. except. i can't answer that i work for the government old age. or figment. are you feeling exceptional today. and i think the lives of the things i think i think that i think united states if you make love there will be a bit of a country to go with the money for one of the big the full burden. diversity. respecting it minorities right to freedom freedom freedom mercy freedom one world. exceptional stand out from other countries. the i would say part of the problem solving ability and a liar every man can work together to do so. and i feel like we're more hiring they do you think make the united states. in other countries. like the place for instance. it. just worked out that. there. were three and. the thing for our south koreans. are you feeling exceptional today. are you feeling exceptional today. what do you think makes us exceptional nothing. some americans do not think we're exceptional they question more it woul

new allegations of spying in the united states. germany said there is evidence that the united states monitored angela merkel's private phone calls. president obama spoke to her to assure her that the united states is not and will not monitor her private communications. secretary of state john kerry met in rome with israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu. and newly released video shows syrian revenges rescued off the coast of malta. survivers say libyan traffickers shot their boat leaving them to drown. 400 were on the boat, and it's believed 200 drowned. >>> bank of america was found liable for siling bad mortgages to sally may and freddi fannie . they are seeking $800 million in damages. >> when u.s. national security policies kill civilians in ally nations questions of sovereignty and legality get in the way of good relations. drones in pakistan. that's tonight's inside story. >> hello, i'm libby casey in washington. pakistan and united states have a complicated and often strained relationship. the two countries share vital i

the united states or somehow wasn't a patriot. there are thing that have been said about barack obama and question about barack obama we don't have to check the birth certificate and even when you show them the birth certificate, come on, this is really different in terms of barack obama. and so i think you know, i think history is going to judge this. and that he really had to go through, and as i said you know i've had my differences but god, they will vote, i really mean this, they will vote against sunlight. if barack obama proposes it. everybody knows it's the universal truth in washington, d.c. if barack obama is for it they're against it. even if they were for it before he was for it, it doesn't matter. it's this visceral kind of you're not supposed to be there. you're not supposed to be president of the united states, i'm not going to recognize it. you know we should be careful -- >> you hear this directly on the floor in your conversations? >> in my conversations and i listen and to me it's look you want to know something

states are cursed by the united states are facilitated by the united states. end of the environment today, where we see, particularly in the region from packet and in the east all the way across what we have traditionally called the middle east or the northern tier of africa, so much instability and ordering across all the measures of power. there's never been a time in my mind for the strategic global leadership of the united states has been more important. not just to buttress, not just to reinforce the order for which we can take justifiable credit at a time when it's really important to reservists and the stability he can, but also to exert our leadership and no specific areas in locations where we can have an outcome that can bring about stability and from that stability can bring order back to a particular region. so we shouldn't be questioning today whether there is a role for the united states to be a global leader or strategic leader. to me it's a non-question and i spent 42 years in uniform. so i've seen the crank turn several times. and in all that

the united states will pay a price. i think president obama will pay a price. >> reporter: washington said u.s. engagement in asia is vital to the economic interests and national security. the president missed high-profile meetings and rival china scored a victory by default. the obama administration has its work cut out to reassure allies. matt field, nhk world. >> it appears in efforts to at least try to begin a process of dialogue between the philippines and china has been made during these meetings in brunei. the philippines president shook hands and exchanged word with china's premier. aquino said he welcomed the positive stance lee showed toward resolving south china sea disputes, specifically on talks about the prospect of code of conduct. >> translator: the tone of what china had to say in the meeting was not offensive. and we received it with a positive attitude. if we can aim for mutually beneficial goals, we should be able to make progress with talks on the coc. >> it was the first contact between the leaders

i really can't comment on it but regardless i mean the united states is still going to find itself in a position where does not have enough of the spending power that's needed to sustain its economy and to fund all of the necessary powers of government. and i say professor at the university of wisconsin milwaukee thank you so much. you have for participation in our discussion thank you. much more government must now shut down until congress funds it again. written slow drift away from the rest of europe continues prime minister david cameron said the u.k. may well with a draw from the european convention on human rights voting such as allowing foreign criminals to remain in the country and definitely has long irritation at the government and public support of boycotts. british home secretary theresa may told the conservative party conference that the current immigration system in the u.k. is like a never ending game of snakes and ladders and that questioning the european convention for human rights might be a route that the government chooses to go down david cameron has already endor
