elizabeth's queen addressed the united states -- united nations general assembly. this was kerfs first speech at the un since 1957. she taught to read curbing terrorism and addressing climate change. this is 20 minutes. >> please rise. [applause] [no audio] [no audio] >> the meeting of the general assembly is called to order. this afternoon, we will hear an addrees by her majesty queen elizabeth ii on the occasion of her visit to the united nations. allow me, your majesty, to have a short statement. [farsi] [speaking farsi] >> your majesty, when you last addressed the united nations 53 years ago following a devastating world war, cold war tensions and nuclear annihilation threatened the existence of all of humanity. the quality and nondiscrimination were still an unrealized dream. women were expected to stay at home. since that location, you have presided -- since that location, you have presided over remarkable transformation that saw the birth of a multiple of independent nation states based on the principles of equal rights and the self- determination of all peo

these apartment units are going to be critical. goowe have a mix of financing, s many projects have. if we are particularly proud of the affordability levels of the project, raising it to 50% of the median income. 18 of the units are going to be stumbling, -- sampling, so we really tried to meet a number of needs, and we think it is compatible with the neighborhood. we got since support. -- good support. i have the project manager. if you have any questions on the financing or other aspects of the project, but i would like if this time to introduce to i think is a wonderful architect, who is the architect for this project as well. >> thank you very much. we would like to hand you a packet of slightly updated drawings. nick was the project architect. i am pushing the wrong button. this is affordable housing as city repair. it is on a prominent site. that is the gateway to jackson square to the north and north beach to the west. the site is were two interesting parts of san francisco history intersect. the typical pattern of small lo

williams as saying that this is two units. it is actually a single-family unit. i want to make sure that we all know that. there are plenty of roof decks around the area and tall buildings. there are a lot of tall buildings. a lot of people enjoy going up on their roofs. thank you for the consideration. >> the public hearing is closed. >> thank you. this almost goes back to when i was first on the commission. not quite. 2005 i believe. it is quite a ways back. that was quite a different project. that was quick. i will have to say that i do, to some degree, agree with the analogy of the missing tooth. a tooth that brought about the missing troops. most people would prefer have some of a similar alliance. i think the design is quite a bit better than was the case in the past. i am not a big fan of modern architecture, but i think this is contemporary but tastefully done. this makes it contemporary to the rest of the neighborhood. i do not think anybody here is a big fan, but hopefully someone in the room was not the person who belted or on it, but i do not think it

they come to the united states. on average, there is about 450,000 immigrants coming into the united states illegally every single year, and they are coming because there are jobs for them, so it is an economic problem for all. it is an economic problem and requires an economic solution. mexico right now, and i have to say that, is not interested in stopping that, because what are they going to do with these 900,000 new workers every single year without a job? i am sorry. it is something that has to be dealt with with both governments. the united states thinks that they can do with immigration alone, by themselves. it is not possible. they have to deal with mexico on this issue. >> you have had lively discussions from time to time. here is a little bit of a lively excerpt from lou dobbs, back and forth, which happened after lou dobbsleft cnn. >> i mentioned what word? >> president barack obama, john mccain, newt gingrich, they have stopped using the word "illegal immigrants" or "illegals." can you change that now? >

the united states rate again is over 700 per 100,000. minorities make up an alarmingly disproportion share of the incarcerated population of adults and june of niles. in fact, incarcerate for african-americans is 4,000 per 100,000 in several states and when you consider the study that anything over 500 was counterproductive, we can see that a lot of money is being wasted and cousht productive incarceration. in fact, in those 10 states, with the incarceration of african-americans approaching 4,000, you could spend thousands of dollars for every child in that community -- in those communities with the money that's being wasted now on counterproductive incarceration. and that money could be put in evidence-based programs that have been shown and proven not only to reduce crime but save more money than the program's cost. we know that those comprehensive programs work. they work everywhere you put them into effect and we need to invest in those rather than counterproductive incarceration. now, h.r. 5143 calls for a distinguished nonpartisan

their unit. at that point i assume an amended map has to be submitted so i would like you to speak to that generally and do amended ccnr's have to be submitted. what happens in that unusual situation, roughly? >> was this a 2 unit building? >> yes. >> you are changing the shape of unit not necessarily adding units to the building? >> no additional units just some common space that used to be outside is inside in one unit and the arbitrator said, okay the other folks get we get an equal amount of common space that could be added to our unit provided all of the proper permits are taken care of first and the map is done in accordance to what you all need. >> that's done by amending ccnr's. it's not an amended map because there is a definition for an amended map. what you are describing does not fall into that category. as long as you don't add units you amend your ccnr's. that would not cover additional square footage. >> it can be addressed in your ccnr's. >> very good. thank you. >> i have 4 units

states have already left the united states. some of those children were probably born in the united states so they would be entitled to stay here because they are american citizens. my understanding is the government basically expects all the children to leave the united states and within their parents. >> woodruff: so again the ten who had been arrested in the u.s. have pled guilty to what? >> to charges as i understand it of conspiring to fail to register as foreign agents with the justice department. but not to charges of espionage. >> woodruff: not to spying. now tell us some more, mark hosenball about the four who were imprisoned in russia. >> well, the neither the u.s. government nor russian government to my knowledge has officially identify these people. there is a list of four people who might be part of this spy swap deal which appeared in a russian newspaper today and also appeared on the bbc. it's my understanding that at least one of the names on this list is inaccurate but as i understand at least one of the people

states has created another place that creates a false immigration to the united states in the first place the reverend say that all he wants but the it's the word illegal it doesn't count if you're breaking the law you know there is such a thing as illegal immigration the left is doing everything they can to change the fight from illegal immigrant to immigrant the law that has been passed that has been passed in the soon to be implemented in arizona really opens the door to racial profiling because if you believe almost. i would attract one of the engine oh everybody always say well the police can stop anybody without a reasonable cause well there's always reasonable cause when it comes to people of color to get stuff you drive into shining a car that's reasonable cause you look like you're in the wrong neighborhood that's reasonable that's always an issue this is just a new new new form of racism i just want to ask the reverend question should there be any border law at all should anyone be allowed to come here at any time for any reason and stay as long as they want the united sta

united states. after years of watching companies build things overseas, it is good to attract companies here to america. in the short term, construction will create approximately 1600 jobs in arizona. what is more, or 7% of the components and products used in construction -- over 70% of the components and products used in construction will be made here in the united states. once completed, it will be the first large-scale solar plant to store energy generates for later use, even at night. it will generate enough clean and renewable energy to power 70,000 homes. the second company manufactures advanced solar panels, creating more than 2000 construction jobs and 1500 permanent jobs. the colorado plant is already under way. an indiana plant will be built in what is now and the chrysler factory. when fully operational, they will produce millions of state of the art solar panels each year. these are just two of the many clean energy investments in the recovery act. already, i have seen the payoff of thes

is it the internal dynamics of the united states?here we have a low approval rating in your country? what is it? >> all of the above. basically, this is a government that has come into office with a very mixed sort of parliamentary structure. at the same time, there are constitutional issues that needed to be attended to. we've attended to them. there are economic issues. we have severe power crisis, energy crisis because the previous government did not invest in power generation, so several hours pakistan does not have electricity and people are sitting in their homes in the heat of 100, 105, 110 degrees with no fans, let alone air conditioning. there is a water short-yardage. and then, above all, there is a concern -- there is a water shortage. and then above all there is a concern that india is not reconciled to our sort of nationhood and statehood, and so those are concerns that are reflected in public opinion. and the government also has to deal with the view that the united states has not been a consistent friend of pakistan. a

given that it would severely constrain and limit dwelling units. the project does incorporate a number of variations with the terrain, so staff believes the design meets the criteria. in addition, the sponsor requested three aspects of the project. the internal courtyard does not meet the findings. a number of dwelling units does not meet the exposure on all floors. finally, while it does require 73 off street parking spots, no parking is proposed, so these requests will be considered today. staff believes the project will have significant new affordable housing units in an area within walking distance of retail services and employment opportunities within the financial district. the project is compatible with the nature of the area. it would help activate the area. the planning department believes the project is necessary and desirable and supports approval. this concludes my presentation, and i am available for questions. >> thank you, project sponsor. >> i am the executive director. we are the private sponsor, and we are delighted to be here at

but the united states had not accepted the invitation. in an interview with nhk last november president barack obama said he wants to visit hiroshima and nagasaki during his presidency. but observers say many people in the u.s. oppose the idea of the president visiting the atomic bombed cities. the u.s. ambassador's attendance is seen as an effort by the obama administration to show its commitment to nuclear disarmament and non-proliferation. >>> a russian nuclear submarine scrapped after an accident 25 years ago has been moved to a shipyard near the far eastern port city of vladivostok for dismantling. russia's nuclear agency, rosatom on wednesday transported the submarine using floats from its mooring site in an inlet in the russian far east 30 kilometers away. in january the agency decided to dismantle the nuclear submarine, saying there was no danger of radioactive pollution. in 1985, during the cold war, an explosion occurred when the submarine, called "echo ii," was being refueled at a soviet navy base in the sea of japan. ten crew
