to create the units. it's important for the public to understand sometimes the people have the prospective we shouldn't build housing because you're only going to bring more people here and mini is going to be strained we know from the last decade people are coming here whether or not we prepare. so i vote in favor of preparing by having the housing necessary and making the investments in muni and the police department to prepare we are seeing the reorganization of america with exception of detroit we have to prepare and not having done a great job >> thank you, supervisor follow-up question i mentioned earlier and commissioners comments in new york city has had an inclusionary policy they require 20 percent and give them a third more square footage they've have two few buildings built some of this is maybe raising the a m u or i to allow more people to get up to one hundred and percentage for ownership but the important thing about it it makes the subsidy less phenomenon the developer and they're more in

so, a little over a thousand units, a little over 1200 units, 1250 units per year for four years. >> so, in terms of the new units, obviously i'm 1,000% supportive of maintaining the housing units [speaker not understood]. you said the next year 3500 units? >> [speaker not understood]. [multiple voices] >> set that to the side for a moment because even though it's critically important it's not new housing. in term of new affordable housing, are you saying delivering 800 units over four years? >> that's correct. in addition to those units, part of our housing production is with the market rate developer, it says they do inclusionary units and [speaker not understood] units so that 800 number doesn't include their contribution to, to the affordable housing production. >> does that include the 800 number include seri units? >> it's an a ~ additional 1600 more units [speaker not understood]. >> so, between the former redevelopment area and mayor's non-redevelopment, for lack of a better term -- [laughter] >> areas, we're talking about 2400 units that we're going to produce over four year

and on june 13th more than 1.8 million came from china to the united states. the growth of 23 percent and the total spend over $9.8 billion u.s. delores dollars so it's a perfect time for an airline to open direct flights so we connect chu do and san francisco. we have an additional 2 hundred and 90 seats available for people to fly directly to the united states by that 13 thousand per year historic this is a first rate travel people fly to the united states we enjoy the transportation to travel directly to chu do and in the south west china it's brought in the economic vibrate. i believe we will promote and communicate also in the trade and economic and education and have other growths. this is a historical moment once again my congratulations to the united airlines thank you. (clapping.) >> thank you, mr. ambassador thank you, thank you, thank you again. lame the next person i want to invite you up to the stage is definitely a good friend of united mr. particular i want to send a 92 thank you to our new ceo congratulations, sir (clapping) >> and i have to sa

what i do about slavery, i do to save the united states. by the third year of the war, lincoln and the majority of the people in the united states had come to the conclusion that restoring the union was not enough. they would never be a permanent united states so long as slavery was allowed to exist. as horace greeley observed, slavery is the cause of treason and everywhere sustains it. slavery had to be destroyed and the nation was to be eunited. otherwise, slavery would continue to threaten the long-term stability and security of the united states. if the united states and not eliminated what had caused the war it would only be a matter of time it would have to send troops to suppress another rebellion. by ensuring lincoln's reelection and the united states' victory in the war, the fall of atlanta sounded the death knell of slavery and rescue democracy from the threat of secession. each time we recite the pledge of allegiance we reaffirm the civil war established united states as one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

obviously there is a unit on the ground floor. the permit is to remove the unit. so, that's where we are. i'm available for any questions. oh, sorry, i should have noticed -- mentioned the notice of violation. dbi did receive a complaint after the permit was issued and suspend and the appeal was filed by the property owner who filed a complaint on her own property and donald duffy, senior building inspector has issued a notice of violation on may 22nd, 2014. a legal dwelling unit on ground floor for building permit [speaker not understood] which is the permit i spoke about. i referenced conversion from commercial dwelling to single-family dwelling. provide access for inspector within five days of receipt of this notice. so, an inspection may be performed. failure to do so will result in further action by this department. and i believe we've issued a second notice of violation, but it's like the legal dwelling units are a lot of what we do and we sometimes don't get in and we just -- this violation was more or less asking us to get in and we never -- we still never

a lot of this is fueled by our drug use in the united states.nsume more illegal drugs than anywhere on earth. 80% of the cocaine from latin america is being funneled through honduras. you have the cartels and the gangs vying for those routes. that is fueling a lot of this violence in honduras. >> and a comment of some republicans, for example, the hill saying some republicans allege lacks enforcement of immigration laws by the obama administration is wanted more more illegal immigrants to send their children and that the deferred action for childhood , is up foraca renewal, prompting republicans to link it to the surge of child migrants -- i think it was senator rubio in florida saying the rumor is out that only children will be able to stay. so they're trying to get their children here, sonia? >> it is certainly true the smugglers will use anything to pump up their business. they are certainly telling thele, once you get into united states, you're home free. they're lying to people. that may be helping to generate business for them. senator rub

including light to the living room windows at that tenants unit. staff made a visit and looked at it, you know, checked out the windows looked through the windows and the light court and revisited the design team again and reviewed all the evidence and also a pact which you have from the adjacent tenant and the tenant basically described they're concerned and included a photograph showing the current light from their living room to the light court. and our evaluation is this light court the adjacent apartment building is part of the light off the building and that provides adequate light to those units surrounding the light court it serves as part of the driveway allowing vehicles to go through and pausing behind the apartment from and to 27th street. the light core and the project sponsors pact you can see the dimension about 18 feet long around the common sideline and about 16 feet wide. that's why we believe this light court provides the light to the surrounding unit. it's self-sufficient and the proposed building will not have significant impac

session of the united nations security council, the united states, cuba and russia offered separate. >> do you, ambassador, deny to the ussr has placed and is placing medium and intermediate range missiles and sites in cuba? yes or no? don't wait for the translation. yes or no? >> i am not in an american court room, sir. therefore, i do not wish to answer a question that's put to me in the fashion in which prosecutor does. in your due course, you will have your reply. >> i'm prepared to wait until hell freezes over if that's your decision. >> each side didn't know what the other side was doing and there was a lot of room for miscalculation. >> we believe there are about 25 soviet ships moving toward cuba. if the vessel does not stop, refuses to heed the instructions, force will be applied to assure that it does stop. >> nikita khrushchev said soviet ships will never submit to the united states blockade. >> the next few days are critical. who is going to blink first? nobody told us to expect it... intercourse that's painful due to menopausal changes. the problem isn't likely to go aw

states and yet the united states has done so little to really help the syrian opposition the united states spent only a little bit more than two billion dollars on this struggle so far and when we compare that to what united states spent in afghanistan or iraq at the height of the fight there fight that is a less than one. in weak spending but professor land is the big death toll is significant despite the fact that the united states hasn't invested all that money in syria you know and still how few around the civil war was so many people being killed i wonder if it's rather actually an example of leading from behind intervening a country from the backs of your allies in the region where you're right you know that obama was very clear he said he had to step aside he called the regime had to go and and he he has supported the rebel opposition as as well as the united states from the beginning of this organize the international community in a friends of syria again the europeans on board trying to get the arab league to condemn syria trying to get turkey and saudi arabia to intervene

the protests here in the united states, a real sense that the united states needed a new strategy. and there was a willingness, perhaps, of a very experienced president with strong advisers around him to think about alternatives. and looking ahead, i just don't see that emerging in washington. jacob, you called michael one of the most creative people in washington, but, you know, creativity in washington is sort of an oxymoron. [laughter] and i look ahead and look at, you know, both republican and presidential candidates for 2016, i don't see the likelihood of somebody necessarily challenging that consensus. so how realistic is it to argue or believe that we're likely -- short of another kind of iraq-style debacle -- to see a new strategy emerge in the near future? and i just, would just simply say it's striking to me so soon after that iraq experience and afghanistan that you have an administration that's pursuing the same strategy as you argue it is, that it's coming under real criticism from both parties as being too weak, too prudent and not strong enough. >> well, when you put

he had with him the name of a relative in the united states.e was told as soon as he got across the border look for somebody in uniform. don't show any resistance and present yourself, which he did and now he sits in a facility in texas. this is a horrible humanitarian situation. the numbers that are involved here. i just want to give for the record the numbers that have been reported here are worth noting. some people may think they are talking about hundreds of children. this year, this year alone as of june 15, unaccompanied children apprehended by the border patrol from honduras, 15,000. guatemala, 12,000. el salvador, 11,000. mexico, 12,000. almost 80% of these kids come from three countries honduras el salvador and guatemala. why are they coming here? they are coming here for a number of reasons. number one, there is this network, criminal network that gives -- gets money to transport children children and they promise the families we will get them to the border. god only knows what's going to happen to those kids on their way. some of th

it has participated along with the united states in military interventions. whether they're successful and not is another issue. along with the united states, i libya andcipated in provided support in france's sub-saharan africa intervention, so there is very tight collaboration at a military level. there is tight collaboration also add an intelligence level. there are all kinds of disputes, on the other hand, over transatlantic trade, the coming transatlantic trade treaty, the paribasssue of the bnp bank, the way to deal with the ukrainian crisis. all kinds of differing perceptions between the capitals. more fundamentally perhaps is the fact that the united states is no longer looking to the atlantic -- not only france, but also germany, england, and the united kingdom -- as the core of its foreign-policy outlook. the united states is increasingly looking towards east asia, china in particular, southeast asia, japan, and china , as the area where the future of the world will unfold and where the united states has to give its greatest attention to. shift away

the united states in many ways was really the first up state. africa, the south founding fathers of apartheid did not intend [indiscernible] >> all of that and more coming up. this is democracy now!, democracynow.org, the war and peace report. i'm amy goodman. sunni militants in iraq have reportedly executed up to 190 captives in the northern city of tikrit. the massacre took place earlier this month according to human rights watch. the news comes as iraq he prime minister maliki faces increasing pressure to resign for failing to unite the country or beat back ends by the islamic state of iraq and syria, or isis. another round of 50 u.s. special operations troops have arrived in iraq to act as military visors on the crisis. president obama has asked congress for $500 million to train and arm syrian rebels. if approved, it would mark the most erect military role in the conflict to date following more covert forms of support for the rebels. the request comes amidst growing concern about the influence of isis militants in both iraq and syria. obama

previously, she was the united states ambassador to the united nations. she has received criticism for perceived entrenchment and foreign policy. >> ultimately, global leadership requires us to see the world as it is, with all of its danger and uncertainty. we have to be prepared for the worst, prepared for every contingency. but american leadership also requires us to see the world as it should be, a place for the aspirations of individual human beings really matters. where hopes and not just fears govern. where the truths written into the founding documents can steer the currents of justice. >> welcome. >> it is great to be back. >> the president making a series of speeches. is he defining obama doctrine? >> for good reason, one is wary of the term "doctrine." i think what he is saying is really crystallizing what has animated his foreign policy from the outset. the united states is the most powerful and important country in the world. we have been for a long time and will be for a long time. in recent years, our power has increased when you consider ou

we in the united states are accustomed to seeing jobs go overseas. that's been had in the last six decades. in the past these were almost exclusively to call your shots, factory jobs. in other jobs that are potentially in shape ready or white collar jobs, office jobs, jobs in the service that are not necessarily entirely ordinary office work. potentially at risk are jobs that require considerable education and training to perform. jobs done by doctors, lawyers, architects committed years, even ultimately, god for bid, by professors. trade in services and the export of jobs to countries like india has the potential to trigger a substantial political backlash in the united states and other rich countries for two reasons. first, the jobs potentially at risk are much more numerous than in the past. there are many more white-collar service jobs than blue-collar fact or he jobs. so more people are affected in decade, some of the people whose jobs may be at risk in here of course i exclude professors are people who are politically influential and are in a p

and that unites the whole nation. and how it was presented to the nation by president putin is that in ukraine those are western sponsestered fascists that came to power and flex of former ukrainian army during world war ii and, so, he used this to prove that these are fascists who are fighting against both russian and ukrainian nation. so, it's misinterpretation that we are looking just to protect russians or russians speaking, no, for the overwhelming majority of russians, we are continuing world war ii. and we are liberating, really liberating ukraine from the fascist threat. >> this weekend on c-span, a look into the politics of putin's russia saturday morning at 10:00 eastern. on c-span2 book tv, live two-day coverage of the "chicago tribune" printer fest starting saturday at 11:00 a.m. eastern. c-span3 american history and beginning saturday morning at 10:30 eastern. >> senator sharon bill introduced a bill to allow individuals without standing student loans to refinance at lower interest rates. chaired a hearin

i think that i like you've been clarifying the amendments how this is applied to make sure those units are staying affordable so this also g don't a good job. in terms of your comment when i moved to san francisco i don't know how many affordable housing units we know people move here because they have a dream or violation it's a great place to live or job opportunities that's an interesting challenge because the only places that people really want to live are in the established neighborhoods most people don't move to the san francisco because they want to live in mission bay so if we can do more pretty sure placed like south of market we need to see more housing >> commissioner moore. >> i'm interested in the legislation it adds one more tool into the castro legislation this one compliments others it's not up to us to comment on the desire for all to have it served up at once but leave it up for a fire chief discussion it makes me feel comfortable. i want to enlightenment you on the authorness when we look at the remarkable piece of work i've not seen this as a at a level of using the

units coming in from outside. it is not incidentally timmons where -- tiananmen square that this problem exists. wenzhou.shanghai, they brought the troops in from outside because the beijing troops apparently demonstrated a great sense of activity -- sensitivity to the cause of the young people. disciplined as they were, they opted for the side of democracy. toertainly don't want speculate on something i don't -- i cannot reach that conclusion. >> some of the soldiers units burn their own trucks. did you receive the same types of the -- same type of intelligence? >> i don't believe the intelligence said that. there are reports that it is very difficult for some of these in the military who are much more sympathetic to the openness, to the demonstrators. i go back to the original question here that tom asked. i think with the change that is taking place so far, we are beyond a cultural revolution response. i think the depths of the ceiling -- feeling towards democracy is so great that you cannot put the genie back

another modification includes the unit enclosure for units within the interior of the open space. duo to date the department excuse me. - to date the department supports the project and finds the project necessary and desirable it's a conversion of a building and the project is necessary it will provide 76 new dwelling units and desirable in the neighborhood due to the c p m construction and the john f. kennedy across the street it has concerned with regard to how the project relates to the adjacent public right-of-way particularly at the pedestrian work realm and the condition is to improve the aspects of the project and the department is supportive with the aspects of the project. at this point we recommend you approve the project with conditions if you have any questions, i'll be happy to answer them >> project sponsor. >> good afternoon, commissioners. my name is kim diamond i'm even though development director thank you for the opportunity to speaking speak we're happy to be here and appreciate all the hard work you and our planning staff have done at the 2155 webster. i want

united press editor in u.s. a plane with a man aboard missing today not far from the soviet border in the rugged mountains in southeastern turkey. >> to a stunned and startled audience, an american u-2 spy plane was shot down in the soviet union. >> he made the records a public exhibition. to the soviet union, this wreckage was a national cause. national outrage over the violation of soviet boundaries. >> and so, out comes the cover story. >> the department has been informed by the nasa. a u-2 weather research plane piloted by a civilian has been missing since may 1. >> eisenhower had said, no, that didn't happen, et cetera, et cetera. he had been drawn into a trap. >> the soviet later able to show not only shot down the plane but they had the pilot. >> gary powers, ordinary man caught up in extraordinary circumstances and in a way magnified by them. >> i realize that i have committed a grave crime and i realize that i must be punished for it. >> the evidence of espionage, currency, presumably for the spy to buy

here's not something the united states can do for them. that's not something, by the way, the united states armed forces can do for them. we can provide them the space. we can provide them the tools but ult patly they are going to have to make those decisions. in the meantime, my job is to make sure that american personnel there are safe. that we are consulting with the iraqi security forces and we are getting a better assessment of what is on the ground and that we are recognizing the dangers of isil over the long term and developing the kinds of comprehensive counterterrorism strategies we will need to deal with this issue. that's going to involve some short-term responses to make sure that isil is not obtaining capacity to endanger us directly oral ice and partners. it also will require long-term strategy as well. it is a broader trend that i talked about at west point. rather than a single network, discreet network of terrorists, this fluid combination of hardened terrorists p. disaffected local leadership, and where will's vacuums. th

what does that mean for security can from the united states? can we count on the united states anymore? we need to take our security in our own hands? so i think because of that our commitments are being called into question everywhere, including on iran. so give the president has said he's willing to use force, and the talk to some of his closest advisers and they swear he says the same thing in the oval office that he says in public, that he really wants to solve this diplomatically, that he doesn't want to have to use force, but that he's not going to allow a nuclear arms race in them middle east he doesn't have to. the problem is nobody believes that. the president does, a couple of close advisers do. i do not having talked to them but my sense is the american public doesn't believe obama would use force on iran. i've sensed iranian's and the israeliisraelis don't believe t. in some ways that's worst possible situation is the president is willing to use force but nobody believes it. i think in that situation iran might be tempted to cross t

we do have the ability to express as clearly as we can the united feeling of the people of the united states about what is happening in china and we hope and we pray as we said to the chinese ambassador that our feelings so conveyed can have an impact on what happens in that country. there will be a lot of question about should we do this or that in terms of sanctions. and we will have momentary disagreement about the right things to do. but we today and every day from here on out want it known that there is absolute unity in this country of feeling about what is happening in china and what we hope will happen in days ahead. we beseech the people to stop the executions, give people due process and give people clemency and get their country back to the situation where democracy can rain. we had a very wonderful cooperation with the ranking member, the ranking republican member of the foreign affairs committee putting together this resolution and i am very happy he is here today and i welcome his statement. >> briefly, i would like to say that i think this was the work of the majority l

the united states no longer does that. it doesn't have the troops on the ground to really put the pressure on maliki. and that gets to chuck's point which is why this is so difficult. what is the ultimate end game? if you get to the turks who have a big stake in this. if iran has a big stake in this, how does the united states very effectively say we're about counterterrorism. we don't want isis to succeed without really coming to the defense of maliki. who is so disenfranchised sunni toss the point you have not just former baathists and saddam adherents but the sunni who's live in that country say i'll join up with this nihilist terrorist group. >> david, as we part ways on this, how do you think the president sells this to the public, given that the actors he's deal with there are so imperfect in the ways you describe? >> it's got to be about counterterrorism. it's got to be about beating an islamic state. the american people know he does not want to get back into iraq but he's going to face, obviously, a bumpy ride just

strategic nuclear strategic bombers arriving here at an air force base from the united states i mean that's clearly there was a lot of news about that and that's clearly a statement but you know it's used to be called saber rattling we used to have a year off the year during the cold war and yes a civil war has been triggered in ukraine and that civil war could spill over into russia those are the those are the real problems but behind this is an old american design. and that is the control of resources and trade and strategic areas right across the european and asian landmass. that's not a secret that has been going on pretty well since the united states discovered itself as a great world power around about the time of the korean war now president obama has approved twenty three million dollars worth of military aid to ukraine sense march has recently announced u.s. is sending advisors and gear to the country while the newly elected president's ukrainian president wants more military aid from the united states what more can he expect well you can well what you can i mean it's all ag

this is when the iraqis need the united states. we got a fascinating window into some of the past negotiations when he said the iraqi government was resistant to accept u.s. offers of any kind of help military training and thip things like that. when they have now face this d crisis, they actively seek american help. so the president is saying we now have leverage, so we'll ask you to make some of the political deals and political compromises that you have not been willing to make. unless you you make those, don't expect major american assistance. it feels as though he is putting the pressure on maliki and staying pretty cool in the face of this very turbulent situation. >> and achristiane amanpour, he expressed concern that these terrorists, he call it is the isil, islamic state in iraq and lavant, others call it the isis. it's the same thing. different names called by different people. but he clearly is concerned also about a potential sunni terrorist attack on shiite shrines which could further explode the situation. >> well, th

decision -- citizens united decision. my first election was $500 for local office. it allowed someone for me to have 1/3 of the money and my opponent to have won the election. on network.ran ads i could only run on a very few local cable stations with a black-and-white ad because of money. i won by two votes per precinct. i know this story. i want to start out with a question of you, mr. raskin, about the major shifts you have seen since the citizens united and how you see this trend is continuing in the future. >> thank you. others have spoken about the daily dish of money ---- the deluge of money which has overtaken our politics. there's a piece on this showing how in 2006 before the case there was $25 million in outside expenditures. in 2010 there was $250 million. $1 2012, it was over one billion. we are on pace to exceed that. the thing i want to focus on is there is a free market ideology which is animating the justices on the court them and i think this confuses mr. abrams' testimony that will threaten to wipe out

except to attend the united nations. you do have the major population centers of the old world, the two biggest countries, china and india, in terms of population, in the largest country, in terms of geography, russia, alienated from the united states. and it's very difficult to see american hegemony surviving that. finally two other factors, inadequate resources, including to projections of the results of the budget guest they're was recently agreed upon in congress, u.s. defense spend willing go down to more than slightly more than 2% of gdp in the 2020s, which is probably adequate for most of our actual defense needs, but i would suggest it's woefully inadequate if you wish to be the eurasian hegemon if perpetuity. you would need to spend more money. finally, public support, the public rebelled against the costs of the wars, that was the main reasons for the return of the democrats to power in congress in 2008. barack obama became the democratic nominee largely because unlike hillary clinton, he had opposed the iraq w

this as the united states sends nor war ships towards iraq. where a contingent of marines have been set to bolster embassy forces. president obama left his get away on monday, on way back to washington. aides say he was briefed many times there.be coupled with hee newed efforts by priem prime mir nouri al-maliki. >> when you have people murdering assassinating in these mass massacres, you have to stop that that. you have to do what you need to do to stop it from the air or otherwise. >> reporter: now, according to kerry, the u.s. policy is to stop ar it ten the tide, the gas by i.s.i.l. in iraq and thereby giving the maliki government to stem the tide. >> whether the the state department orders nonessential personnel out of that country. has that happened in the case of iraq. >> they have relocated some personnel and the state department is stressing it's a minority of the staff. it's a huge embassy. not just embassy personnel, that might have to be evacuated, there are private contractors, americans, some 5,000 it's been estimated all over ir

and but it's a little bit like the state in-law unit i've not been great about it but mr. ram can elaborate >> i can ice this one we actually have a sdrugs discussion if the developers provide affordable units we're allowed to give them more density but we have the inclusionary housing requirement we are looking at brown where it might happen and that's sort of thing but that housing density law has been in place for a number of years and we're looking at to implement it. >> it doesn't actually have a threshold number obviously to be implemented that's the difference here couldn't the dispensary theoretically, you know, file for a project application and say i want to increase the state law technically. >> i believe the developer could make a contention but i don't want to opine on that. >> sorry christian staff if the developer wants to get a bulgsz request the state law spells it out and a bunch of progress to go to throw a special district with we have to apply and go through for entitlement for a lot of the affordability projects so the project sponsors. >> that's for

we are united in getting americans back to work. we are united in getting the job done here on capitol hill. we want to be putting forward solutions rather than continuing to see in action out of the senate, and we are going to continue to work on behalf of people who have sent us here to make them proud and to give them more opportunities. >> let's take a couple of questions. >> my question is for mr. scalise. host[indiscernible] how did you have this number down? >> we built a strong team that was representative of our entire congress. i'm proud to be the chair of the republican study committee, which is 170 six members of our conference, and i were to record part over that year and a half that i have been chairman to build consensus, to move and service solutions forward in a way that unites our conference and salts policy is in our country. the results but i've had over that year and a half have been brought to a broader conference, toluding numbers recognizing help strengthen our team to help strengthen america. we build a real

how do you represent the united states of america when the united states is comprised of so many vastly different people in different communities? >> so i, the latter part of your question, i'm sorry, i didn't hear. >> the united states is comprised of so many vastly different communities, even the 7th circuit is comprised of so many vastly different communities. how do you discern what the position of the united states of america should be? >> well, it's a really hard thing and the way you try, you try your best to do it through the organs of representative government that we have and so in one way you will look to the statutes that congress has enacted as representing the will of the people and expressing what the interests of the people of the united states are. you look to policy judgments that agencies make. and then you know, you have to just apply your common sense. and, the other thing you have to do, i think, and the other thing that has come home to me, longer i've been in this job, recognize that you, that the appreciate the historical circumstances which you find yourself an
