equality are going to define everything because we're basically getting the united nations accepted by united nations united people the people of the occupy movement take their first fight with the world's most powerful economic and political force and this is the first to criticize and now spreading across the planet arena for now artsy we are. both major parties in the us are accused of marginalizing the protests and observers say that not surprised us activist blogger. explains why washington wants the occupy movement in fact what's happening is that they're the ones using its least forces to crackdown on these legitimate protests there are no guile and they're peaceful and they're responding to it by arresting protesters pepper spraying them and preventing them from actually airing out their grievances it's a protest against the current status quo it's a protest against this system you know it's a protest against. this from stole from party establishment that own both houses or other old republican and democrats as a protest against that that's why you know i don't consider this to be approved a movemen

in those moments i was your torch and we were united. united by the scents the heat the shutter. for love of another i'd say to myself, faithful in muted pain. my hope, my heart extinguishing as you stood there paralyzed each time like a still camera unable to look away. infraction. if my love were smooth and lustrous would you spit me open and fill me up again. would you kiss the scar you made of me name it and claim me like a mountain. bear witness to holiness where 2 rocks collide. if my was unpenetrable and clear would you search your whole life destroying me just to hold me to the light? i am listening you like rain that slips through fingers missing you like childhood dreams and mother's mill ik. like an earing under a bed. links of moon that pass. with years reflected in glass. the silver seams behind eyes. if you happen to find my love hidden in the openal of your memory, would you return my uncertainty? my last poem, i'd like to dedicate to all the people who have ever lost someone that they love. and as nancy said you get to a certain age and people start passing away.

is a live work unit, at no time from the beginning were these units of affordable housing by any san francisco standard. in 15 years later, there are far from being affordable and no unit has been removed from the market because this was never used except as a single unit by the original owner that purchased it from the developers. thank you. president olague: is there additional public comment? public comment is closed. commissioner moore: i asked for this project to be taken up for the very reason that the public has discussed. the applicant's position that is obviously the very unusable story of data and procedures which i thought were alfaro and clearer, particularly san francisco has a large amount of former apartment condominium dwellers listening to this particular case could find themselves in very similar situations unless it is clearly verify that that in a conversion from single ownership, the recording of multiple ownerships are done properly. should somebody buys something, unbeknownst to the real history where the real recording, they might find themselves in violation at the second or third resale because the conversion was not properly recorded. there a

of the talk about iraq before two thousand and three and before the united nations was totally sidelined by the united states and united kingdom who had an agenda and wanted that legitimacy is thomas put in i totally agree with him but they couldn't get it so they went it alone and it really didn't matter at all before that for thirteen years the united nations actually enforced sanctions on iraq the grid used twenty five million people to beggars to people be below the poverty line so in fact you you sort of feel that the united nations rather than being that kind of international body that. universal kind of elements that the whole world subscribes to in order to protect the weak it has become. and arrow in the arm of the powerful nations under which they can go to war they can impose any kind of sanctions regime they can reduce any nation to poverty and to being hungry and it just basically doesn't add up and now i want to assert something quite important i'm not calling for the demise of the downfall of the united nations not at all i think that the world does need something to alternate from the kind of malice of

being charged with conspiring to cooperate with the fark rebels which are terrorist by the united states and not by the united nations russia or thailand by the way the people he was dealing with were actually covert special agents and not. group members by any means so that's sort of one of the things that's been reason eyebrows in this case and of course the fact that he was really snatched away by the u.s. in the middle of the night like in a hollywood movie from thailand to the u.s. even though thai courts found him not guilty twice and his papers continued to simply still remain in thailand so the way he was brought here and basically you know hunted down for so long it's really unclear why the u.s. would spend tens of millions of dollars on this one man and i know this case has been one of q or three major cases that we've been focused on another one is that of constantine yarns. talk a little bit about you know the two cases and some of the main points here going on here. you know the constitution was a great example to bring up because he was sentenced to twenty years behind bars the september a man w

by the united states. you have the vice president of the united states, the secretary of state, and the attorney general allng without any doubt that this plot has been hatched by the iranian regime at its highest level, probably the president or the supreme leader. here's the problem, hala. let's say that that's true. let's say that this is a plot that goes to the supreme leader himself. then what you are saying is that the government of another nation state has hatched a plot to kill american civilians on u.s. soil. >> that's an act of war. >> under what definition is that not an act of war? how is that not an act of war? and if it is an act of war, then how does one actually explain the tepid response of the obama administration? i mean, they want to tighten financial regulation transactions? that is the response to what can unmi unmistakably be defined as an act of war? >> reza aslan, always a pleasure. many questions that still need answers. thanks for your analysis, as always. reza aslan is in los angeles. >>> making their mark this week, dewey bozella, former convicted murderer, steps into the ring t

united states russia and other member states of the quartet i wonder how. we always endeavor to coordinate our political steps with these supporters if the united states tries to veto our bid as stated by many american officials think such a step would greatly harm the expectations and dreams of palestinians in having their own state when. not only palestinians would be influenced by such as the us pretty ability would be shaken because america self adopted the two state solution and endeavored to find an end to the conflict in the middle east through establishing a palestinian state living in peace and security side by side with israel and mammon i. think this step we have taken it's in line with the gold the american administration wants to achieve we also believe the american veto would be directed against the many friends of the palestinian people as you know the palestinian bid has got the support of the vast majority of the un general assembly and in the world. therefore we think if america vetoes our decision it would be painful blue to the palestinians to u.s. credibility and policy but as. to friends of the palestinian people for these reasons we wish u.s. administration reconsiders its position and takes a more positive position in the discussions that will take place in the security council regarding our. look at the start of with. an englishman in new york mr tony blair the quartet representative criticize the palestinian bid for the place in the united nations by saying i quote you can parse whatever resolution you like at the united nations or the security council but it doesn't actually deliver you as state on the ground in the west bank or the gas of strip and quote do you still consider mr blair to be honest mediator after off to the side he openly with the israelis now. definitely we haven't chosen tony blair to be the quartet representative. he was chosen by the quartet itself and we agreed to deal with him since he was chosen by the quartet i. do know however we do have some observations on the performance of mr tony blair as well as the statements made by theme which we conveyed to him directly. for instance he has made some statements which differ from the one you just mentioned. he stated in some meetings that go into the un is a legitimate right for the palestinians and no one has the right to argue against them about it and. the quartet itself has to decide whether it's approved performances in school ordinator in the. s

and then there were these clubs, little clubs that were started up by a unit where everyone in the unit would pony up $205 to the club going. over the course of the work the club proceeds are then reinvested in making the club nicer and nicer and nicer, so some start out and don't have running water and are just a little back room. warm beer. and then by the end they have leathers will chairs and incredibly sophisticated night clubs. live entertainment and slot machines and food. and literally generating millions of dollars. there was so much money being generated by these clubs that the u.s. military around 1969 are 70 conducted an audit and sees something like $16 million in cash that was laying out in these "cash registers and / machines, and that money was used to build a high-rise hotel in hawaii for military families on our guard. >> host: the base is the you're talking about in vietnam, and then the models for what we have today, i'm thinking of the iraq in afghanistan and other foreign bases that have a lot of the american amenities? >> guest: i would not say they are models for

units. we are allowing them to be built and they can be purchased by people who choose to live in a smaller unit. commissioner moore: i will take another tack at that. i am in support of small units. these units, because of their layouts are designed so that small does not work. the devil is in the detail. i take issue with the design and what it does not do more so than the smallness of the units. i believe that the building itself is still, for me, unfortunately, 12 pounds in a 10 pound bag. for example, i want to direct that part of my discussion to mr. gardner. i want to talk about the parking spaces. there is no parking required. in the six parking spaces which are proposed may be designed to serve the tenants, but they also might be designed to serve others because there is no access from the garage. you have to go to the street, open the door, etc. if those things would not be there, it might be a financial consideration because you're creating an additional benefit of the project. if the project was well- designed, it would register some of the units and come up with a design which is slightly different. for example, by saying that we want to talk about quality of design

united nations is being occupied by another state and israel which is also a member of the united nations. consequently you go she would move on these basis to un member states and one. occupying the territories of another un member state that hell is tying. to feed the sea and moreover getting international recognition would determine all borders which are the nineteen sixty seven borders which include east jerusalem and. in this case any further negotiations between the two parties should be based on the legitimate right of palestine to get its independence. but the. tense of the sea issues a core issue for us since its new commitments if any go shisha is to be held between the two parties in the future if it. i mean best or mr. palestine will get even a nonmember state this it will give you rights is it true that the first thing palestine will do is to go to take israel to the international court this is true and no this is not. we don't plan to use the international organizations to change the israelis so this is possible is it possible not to have this is our right that we have the right to do that. but if your question is whether we are going to do it in the way you've just mentioned the answer is no. we are responsible for. people to read and we shoulder responsibility towards our people off the list the need we don't want to start a crisis and it was so fun at the we would behave with the international community with a big responsibility meaning that we don't want to confront these release or the americans. all we want is to gain for our people the right to stablish their own state. who an independent palestinian state within the nine hundred sixty seven borders in order for us to boost and improve our economy. that would enable us to secure a better future for our people. shobna confrontation is not our objective is that all. those who object to. these release and the americans can try to use this issue as a means to frighten others. to palestinians would escalate the situation by making use of the international organizations. here i confirm that we would never behave in such a manner. and that we are going to fully respect all international laws to. implement our commitments. there is a word that israel and the united states are planning to sort of punish the palestinians for a stubbornness and then seeking recognition is palestine ready for the toughening of the financial blockade for example as you know the palestinian economy is a poor economy because it is connected with these really conning me due to the occupation therefore. any economic and financial blockade however a question may be raised. illinois are the palestinians punished for taking such a. always was not an aggressive war criminals. now all they do it is that we turn to the international community to claim our legitimate rights and we wanted the united nations to consider our peace which has been suspended for over sixty three years. to tell us kenyan people be punished because. the united nations to claim it's a legitimate right so within international law called the it oh what i think this is unfair and unjust within so that was genius should not be punished for such a step will be in those countries that might impose sanctions o

units have been discovered these units are financed from two sources by is not organizations in the arab world including the gulf states as well as organizations based in european countries the second source is weapons and drug smugglers. while the body was yellow a. lot of statements are made in the west one after another that is security forces continue to use violence against the protesters we actually saw the security forces and armored vehicles in the streets of a key towns and their own homes are soon as during our visit to syria where so many troops needed in syria it sounds like homs. to start with the west only pretends it is worried about human rights violations in syria in fact it was the west that imposed economic sanctions that have hit the interests of the syrian population so hard this is an obvious discrepancy within the western approach to syria they have a plan which clearly foresees impairment of the ruling regime in syria followed by its complete overthrow why are they doing this to minimize syria's influence in the region and force it to abandon its independent stance the west seems to think that economic sanctions will help topple our government this is exactly why we should try to prevent this plan from being implemented secondly we have not used tanks for seven months we did use the. very beginning to provide proper protection for our soldiers who are safe inside of them but no tank has fired on the battlefield so far it is natural that no country would welcome a terrorist group financed and armed from abroad these groups are a threat to citizens security and the work of state institutions and schools yesterday three children were killed in one family there was a baby girl among the victims who was not even seventeen months old is that what they call reforms or is it terror. now you understand why i can openly confirm that we did deploy our security forces in the regions where militants are operating with them now while he was here syrian opposition maintains the president's security council resolution veto was supportive of the syrian government's position marius you say that this stand prevented foreign intervention into serious domestic in france as you know russia proposed a new resolution to the security council which is under consideration now what further steps can we expect syria to say it should be sneer is aleutian be approved by western powers or. first of all we do not expect the west to approve russia's new resolution secondly vetoing that resolution has created benefits for syria but not only syria it gave us more time to implement reforms russia above all other states requires the syrian government to implement the reforms in question and to maintain a comprehensive dialogue to have we did more than just make use of russia's veto we used to lift external pressures from our reforms process and we agree with russia that any foreign intervention into our domestic affairs is unacceptable just as any attempts to increase economic sanctions against syria since they infringe upon the interests of syrian citizens in the course of our consultations it became clear that russia is even more demanding than other countries in urging syria to complete the forms and to maintain a comprehensive political dialogue another issue here is that russia is between the proposed resolution gave new life to the security council itself by stripping the usa of its decision making monopoly on the international stage and that's a very important thing and just look at what their monopoly did in libya iraq and afghanistan the truth is that the policy of the united states is trying to implement here in our region is far from unbiased and it's not even our own policy it is a policy that serves israel's interests that's the truth and i worked in the united states for ten years and i know this to be true that i was it will get all over the whole year we have taken steps to litigate the impact of economic sanctions in place against syria where true is russia playing and i will plans to have you made . with and resolve the situation though you will have to work a lot of program the west that is the european union japan and the usa levied economic sanctions against us and that impede our economic development they expected these sanctions to bring down the ruling regime quite naturally under circumstances such. says syria must rely on its own resources and capabilities i am here by saying that we have enough strategic resources we have over a year's supply of food and basic products to meet the population's demand starting with grain and so on secondly

important impact on the united states and beyond the united states social change movements in the united states and around the world in the least in modern times have almost always been led by. so young people. then students have a significant role to play in this way students have been the backbone of some of the most powerful movements in america the story of the civil rights movement the free speech movement these are forces of history that we learn about now and i think that students have just as much power as they did. and it's research that hour when we choose to. choose something that is as important as this it gets we need to stop using the nuclear weapon. as a possible war strategy and we're going to start by divesting this educational institution that's supposed to further a supposed to further this country's with the further the state supposed to further every single one of us we divest that institution from nuclear weapons we need to completely make the split the students could be the spirit of the campaign for u.s. leadership for a nuclear weapons free world we're not going to get to a nuclear weapons free world without u.s. leadership and we're not going to ge
