here at 10:00 at night. sorry. [laughter] this is a gateway site which is a combination of three neighborhoods. as we said, it sounds like an extinct species, but it is a mixed use housing. zoning is in place, and we have in a buffer zone. the height limit which is great to have that done. we are in walking distance. it is 31,000 jobs here. it is a great place to do housing and in terms of linkages, it is located at a couple of major bike paths. it gets relocated to stop in front and is about a mile to the west and to the east. you can go to the train station and about 15 minutes. here is the site plan. it is a very funny piece of land. the right of way was originally a giant boulevard. it will go all the way to the bay only a part of this got built. it divides the site into two sections. we're calling it the flatiron building in the north building. part of this plan was breaking these blocks. there is a pedestrian public muse. you'll see a 32 foot strip of land that is the 18-foot high buildings with an open space on top of the faces the restaurant. at that corner is a little point for will have some seating and community garden next. this shows the retail area

brian thanks very much indeed for being with us here in r.t. but as you just heard it said that nato has done a great job it looks like the people's wishes about to come true there in libya so the operation carried out by nato well their position has been vindicated doesn't it. well it depends what the what the mission was if it was to protect civilians it certainly hasn't been vindicated thousands of civilians have died the united states and nato forces have dropped seven thousand five hundred bombing missions in libya just in the last month alone this is a nato war there may be libyan soldiers fighting as part of the rebel force but there are commando units from britain and france that are the real leaders just to put this in perspective the gross domestic product of libya is one tenth the size of the pentagon's annual military budget this is a david and goliath battle between powers the united states britain and france the old colonizers and slavers of africa wanting to put into place in libya a government that's not necessarily more democra

before before you know why don't you just learn proper english while the world is this way ahead of us here i mean they're going to use english anyway they want so i mean what direction we go in or can we just can we control it in any way probably not. the internet when it was launched meant that a lot of people felt that this would mean that english would expand at the expense of other languages in fact there are hundreds of languages used on the internet even very small ones demographically speaking and this means that obviously it's makes a lot of sense in the modern world for anyone to want to have a very high level of proficiency of english the interesting thing for me at least when researching language policy is whether english is being added to people's repertoire which is great or else where the english is replacing other languages and this is where you mention the word imperialism obviously under the soviet system the people of the three baltic states knew what linguistic imperialism was because bilingualism then was a dirty word for basically dropping their own language and shifti

there in oxford thanks very much indeed neal for being with us here on our team now the five month long conflict seems to have no end why is this deadlock do you think . well i think outside interference has not been very helpful here because i think if we think back ten days ago president and sad said that he was going to allow multi-party system in syria frank straightaway said that was provocative and i think what's happened is that instead of being responsible members of the interest community are actually being done the opposite and that's what that's one of the these terrible things are still going on in syria what do you think these promises of political reform there by the president have not appease the protesters. who are you know i think the only way serious problems can be solved is brian turnbull dialogue the government has said they're willing to indulge in a dialogue but i think the opposition have been emboldened by the support they are getting from foreign countries such as the usa france etc and i think that's what's really creating this very dangerous situation where w
