nobody likes to use them, but to see they have been used or to know that they have been used, i personally would really love it if the city of san francisco never used any of these products, but as we've heard tonight and as the committee has heard in detail in the two meetings that we devoted to this topic, sometimes the use of these products is necessary. sometimes it's necessary for the protection of public health, as chris alluded to. and on other occasions, it is necessary to achieve other city goals and to implement other city programs as we've heard tonight. what i think is really important, and what is really clear, to me at least, the result of the meeting that the policy committee had earlier this year, is that change in how these products are being used is really happening here in san francisco on the ground. and not just little changes, or changes over here. but lots and lots of very important changes. one of the biggest changes is in pesticide use. and use in particular of glyphosate as we've heard tonight. there has been a 75 -- i hope i got the numbers right -- you went past

us. and lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil. ctor simon russell—beale will now read an extract from winston churchill's account of the first world war. the penalty of defeat is ruin. the reward of victory is responsibility. it is an awful recompense. the nations who have drawn the sword in the cause of right and justice, who have persevered together through all the vicissitudes of this fearful journey, whom no danger could appal nor hardship weary, have now become responsible under providence for the immediate future of the world. they can no more divest themselves of this responsibility than they could in the first instance have stood out of the war. to do so would be to sacrifice at a stroke all the fruits which have been gained by an infinitude of sufferings and achievement. we should have won the victory only to cast it away. we should let slip from our relaxing fingers all the advantage which nearly a million britons gave their lives to gain. we should leave our responsibilities undischarged, our task unfinished. in place of

market will be more red at that time if for any pressures iran is needed so is the us using the reserve currency status of the us dollar as a weapon when it comes to iran well i mean there are many different weapons if you want to act and sit there and us using our against iran but what is more very important is that all of these countries that are importing oil from iran none of them are going to get any types of currency back to iran and iran can only import humanitarian goods or this is there it goes those moves that are not subject to sanctions back to iran so they're kind of bartering their oil for food or medicine or necessary goods but you said the chess game is is far from complete here all these sanctions from the u.s. point of view go to work or will they they fail iran seems to be fairly confident that it can withstand these sanctions if they do fail from an american point of view does that signal that the dollar can no longer be used as a foreign policy weapon. yes i agree with your question because now we have european union that they are coming up with as specific channels of trade with iran bankin

know using the nanny state? let us know using the hashtag. w regulation to restrict asylum claims by migrants has been published by the us department of homeland security. it will no longer allow people who enter the us illegally to claim asylum. the american civil liberties union says the right to claim asylum must be granted to anyone entering the country, regardless of where they do so. chris buckler reports from washington. securing america's long border with mexico has become one of president trump of the greatest concerns. he believes the asylum laws are being abused by those who cross illegally and asa abused by those who cross illegally and as a result he says he intends to change them. currently anyone can claim refuge within a year of entering the country whatever means and infuture, entering the country whatever means and in future, the president intends to restrict the right only to those who queue up and cross at one of the official ports of entry. in a statement, the department of homeland security said: they insisted the preside

used successfully in glasgow? in lambeth we've embarked on using this model help us understand a lot more. too easy to say, lock people up. we are looking at how can we use housing, get education, how can we get the police, get social services, everybody involved to understand the root causes, and what we do about some of those root causes. because just arresting people isn't the one answer. one of the biggest things for the young people we work with is around opportunity. opportunity around opportunity. opportunity around jobs, around being exposed to different things in their lives, rather thanjust the different things in their lives, rather than just the estate mentality that sometimes you just get left with no hope of doing something different. the idea is to use something different. the idea is to use those models, help us understand how do we tackle youth violence. when you talk about youth violence, a lot of the stabbing to involve teenagers, young kids, really, 1a, 15 years old. lots of them carry knives, lots of them are in gangs. there is a difference on that. there is quite a few

what that does for an organization like mine is it will give us us best some certainty around the cost structure, in the time frame. it allows usto work on local municipalities with a framework that makes sense. so we will still do that. we love that we brought broader legislation. that was a nice step in the right direction. that is what i hope we will continue at the federal level, things like that. when you are building, you want to have some certainty in your plans on how you do that. from an operator perspective, we cooperate with the other operators, we stay in touch with folks that are on the forefront of technology, japan, korea, to -- two countries that come to mind right off the top of my head. we work with them closely. we see what they are doing, what are we doing, and which i to -- and we try to leverage everything that we can. but we are in a very strong position right now, having a 5g product already launched the commercial, first in the world. mobility will come here very quickly. so we are out in front. >> what are the stakes for winning the global race? why is it important that the u.s. be first to this? >> i

>> we use what are called the geophysical instruments that use the principles of physics to see through the rocks. we usedsmic waves, the same way you might use a flashbulb to take pictures of something. we are using marsquakes, which send out vibrational waves to the planet, and as they go through the planet, they reflect off boundaries and change their velocity. it changes the wiggles you see on the seismograph. when we go to the planet, you can see that here, it hits the very boundaries and the waves are reflected. sometimes they are bent. it becomes a pretty complicated pattern. scientifically, we have learned over the last 100 years how to interpret the code of the signals as it comes back up to the surface and the seismometers pick up the signal and turn it into data, that we can use on earth to understand what the 3-d structure is of the planet. gay: normally you use three seismometers. in this case, you are bringing five. how are you going to be able to get the information using one? >> well, we had to get kind of clever. you could use multiple seismometers to get in on where the earthquake is. on
