guidelines which then default to equally vague universal guidelines. to these ends then, u.d.g. should be taken off calendar indefinitely. pending the results of progress, if any, and developing the neighborhood guidelines which are to date, as far as i know north beach and middle pole -- polk. the universal guidelines are vague and the ones prepared by staff with virtually no input when the neighborhoods offered to do their own first versions and were told no are not adequate. thanks very much. >> thank you, mr. weber. any additional public comment on this item? seeing none we'll close public comment. >> if i can submit something for sunshine. >> commissioner: thank you. we'll open it up to commissioner comments. any questions? commissioner moore. >> i have a cold so i'll try to speak concisely. we have not looked at the guidelines for quite some time and we've been standing on the sidelines watching the process and communication and interaction and community and have clearly heard today that many of the initiatives which have happened between us have

it is still so vague on government's position. it is still so vague on brexit.n be said and could fit in. so what he said, he subsequently defended by saying, but we are hoping to have as close to a free—trade agreement as possible with the rest of the european union. but what isn't clear is how that becomes possible. so he can pop up and say, don't worry, things can be pretty much the same. that is true. that is the government aim. but they still are at the have their cake and eat it phase of their objectives. equally you could have another hardline brexit minister say, we must have the right from march of next year to start trading with other countries as a separate country outside the single market, outside the customs union. that implies a very big break with the re st of implies a very big break with the rest of the european union. so we are more or less a year away from this happening. and actually, you could have two wildly different interpretations from different senior cabinet ministers of what will happen. they can both claim it is close to government

it's more than a vague promise, rach rachel. mcelderconnell said on the floo said on the floor we will definitely get a vote on february 8th of a bipartisan bill on draer.r.e.a.m.ers that my okay. it will be a good bill. the thing about the promise, he didn't just make it to me. he made it to ten republican members of the caucus. a leader is very, very reluctant. so now we have a chance to get 60 votes for d.r.e.a.m.ers in the senate. and i met today with the d.r.e.a.m.ers and all the other groups and we all agreed we're goi going to focus our energy on fighting the fight we have now. every democrat, all 49 are for d.r.e.a.m.ers. if we get four or five more, we can get the vote in the senate. you say that's not the house, that's correct. nothing will force the house because mcconnell refused to put any of the dreamer legislation on the must-pass bill. that was the hope when friday night began and trump shut the government down. but if we pass it in the senate with a bipartisan vote, we have a good chance to put pressure on the h

it makes jim comey vaguely nauseous. it makes me sick. >> what swung the election was hillary clinton's war on coal. she was completely out of touch with the working class, the democrats in pennsylvania, the obama guns, god and religion comment. deplorables. >> so a comment eight years before the election was more important than the fbi director? by the way, he was investigating the trump things too. he never leaked that. >> you take a ride, ask if they remember guns, god and religion. that resonates to there day.

president thinks about women, just like how this is about the president's racist thinking, not some vague concept of strong language. francis tarngs here's some strong language a multimedia artist projected onto the main entrance of the trump international hotel in washington. now, as you know, the president gave an example of norway as a country he wants immigrants to come from. we all know what that is. the homeland security secretary was asked about that today. >> norway is a predominantly white country, right? >> i actually do not know that, sir, but i imagine that is the case. >> kirsten nielsen doesn't know for sure is norway is predominantly white. norway. let me just repeat that. the secretary for homeland security claims she doesn't know for sure if norway is predominantly white. norway. this is notable not only because her first name has a j after another consonant like the word fjord. but her last name is danish and norwegian according to ancestry.com. and in fact nielsen is one of the most common names in denmark. about 5% of the population, if my studies are correct. and also

the vagueness of the deal in october might be polemical at home. mark: great piece.ter weather pummeling the northeast. will there be a lasting impact on commodities? this is bloomberg. ♪ live from london, this is bloomberg markets. vonnie: live from bloomberg world headquarters in new york city, i am vonnie quinn. where waiting on natural gas inventories here in the united states, very much in focus this week with the frigid polar blast impacting much of the united states. also a big snowstorm impacting the northeast. we have been watching live pictures all morning. let's get the data now. julie: we are seeing a little bit of a smaller than estimated drop in this natural gas billionies, down 206 cubic feet last week, 218 billion cubic feet was the estimate of bloomberg users here. so that drop is about 6.18%. we are saying, unsurprisingly, some work down of natural gas inventories because of this cold weather, because of the snowstorm which we here in new york city blowing outside of our windows. this is at least the second straight drop we have seen in these number

vague and no one can quite define what it means. what it means. actually quite upsetting such as helen helen dunmore. read but it is a beautiful book and for me the strongest. for me the strongest. life affirming even knows these are poems about her death and dying. poems about her death and dying. judges to choose between five such very different books. very different books. poetry against a memoir that is so beautifully written. beautifully written. the way that, what it leaves you with the end. with the end. on the short list that are strong in that regard. that regard. prize influences perhaps what people actually go out and buy? actually go out and buy? oster has a huge impact on book and publishers would back that up. publishers would back that up. prizes that seems to reflect what people are interested in. people are interested in. kind of books that get chosen by reading groups. reading groups. a huge difference to the winner this year. year. well you are a fan of the poetry, do you think it will win? poetry, do you think it will win? i'm great fan of helen dunmore and i think

this to me shows what a vague concept brexit always was.an impression of britain ending its dealings with the european union. i think people who voted to leave knew what they thought they were voting for. i think the in and out referendum, for many, was possible. britain is redefining its relationship with the eu, which is very different from leaving the eu completely. in fairness to theresa may, even if she was replaced, and there is talk about that, it is beginning to happen again among conservative mps, it is very hard to see, even a titan who enjoyed the theatre of politics, and had a clear idea of what form brexit should take, could get a deal through this particular house of commons. now it might be in the end that she gets quite a bad deal. and it still gets through the house of commons because of various factors. but if the deal is defeated in the house of commons then the united kingdom is in an extraordinary constitutional crisis. a hung parliament is not impossible. i think if she were to be replaced that would throw the negotiat

it was particularly to try to work around cities like san francisco that have vague terminology, and i'm saying i think that there's a way to clarify it so that we can get more of what we want and less of what we don't want, and we should not kick the can down the road and just yell at the state and say, you know, we haste th hate this law. we should clarify our own standards. i've put a a couple of ideas -- commissioner richards has put out a couple of codes. i think we need to do that work, and then, we will lighten our load somewhat. >> president hillis: commissioner koppel? >> i would just remind that the housing accountablity law is to deliberately stop the accountablity of housing. it's for communities, for example, like brisbane who have been holding up housing on their land for years. we don't have the authority or the ability to say it applies to some communities and not others. it is a statewide law, and so i would just remind us of that act. >> clerk: commissioners, there was a motion with conditions that was superseded by a motion to continue to march 22nd and for the spo

i would say that that's certainly one of the reasons why the language has been vague because even if this were to get to the knesset in its current form this would be so in cindy area this would inflame tensions at a time when things are so uncertain and that's not really an outcome that most government officials here would like to see happening so you had this language that came out about what exactly the likud central committee was trying to do some were interpret it as meaning that they were going to try to. the entirety of the west bank others took it to mean that they were only going to try to apply israeli sovereignty over illegal settlements in the occupied west bank so there's a lot of wiggle room there as far as exactly what all this means and how it would be interpreted but one of the key questions out of all of it is if and that's a very big if at this point if this resolution actually does at some point get to the knesset in its current form what would it mean for the rights of palestinians living in the west bank what would it mean for citizenship rights what would it me

none of those things are going to happen. —— meet some vaguely defined conditions.ink, extent that he will need to give something, ithink, the extent that he will need to give something, i think, the most likely thing they will give is perhaps try and geta thing they will give is perhaps try and get a separate accord on the missiles, or at least be seen to be negotiating one, and ramp up pressure on human rights. maybe some sanctions on that. but in terms of the fundamentally getting the eu and russia and china to renegotiate that, i cannot see that happening. 0k, we have to leave it there. christian, from the university of plymouth, thank you so much for being with us. thank you very much. consumers can no longer be charged extra simply because they're paying by card. from today, it'll be unlawful to charge credit or debit customers more than other customers. it's hoped the ban will benefit shoppers and holiday—makers who buy goods online or in small stores. some retailers have already said they will raise overall prices in response to the change. adina campbell re

he keeps half-heartedly repeating his vague promise.hoice of words isn't all that convincing. >> what do you say to those d.r.e.a.m.er's who are worried that you won't keep your word and bring a bill to the floor? a lot can go wrong between now and then. >> i intend to keep my word. >> seth: what do you mean you intend? it's your word. are you worried you'll try to keep it, but it will get stuck in your neck bubble? [ laughter ] [ imitating mitch mcconnell ] "oh, my promise is stuck." so that's all democrats got. and the process for how they got there doesn't exactly inspire confidence, either. a group of republicans and democrats met to broker the shutdown agreement. and one of the senators, maine republican susan collins, used a novel tactic to maintain order during the meeting. multiple senators told cnn that lawmakers had agreed to use a talking stick. the agreement was that before anyone interrupted or shared their perspective, they should be holding the stick. at one point, senator lamar alexander of tennessee forcefully tossed th

the u.d.g.s are, frankly, too vague. they deal with generalities. and they don't really tell you where the controlling elements, where there is a conflict comes into. one comment is if something can be misinterpreted, it will be misinterpreted, especially when money is involved and there is no more money around than developing in san francisco today. so, the language has to be tightn't up. the guidelines have to be brought in line specifickedly where they should apply and say where they do not apply so that we all know where we stand going forward. but rather than try to fix the u.d.g. for everything, we should say where it applies. it shouldn't apply in our districts, period. there is no reason for it to apply there. we have residential guidelines. if it is not adequate, then fix residential guidelines for our districts. why create an entire new element of the guideline that apply -- that was set out the apply to n.c.d.s downtown and then have it a catch-all for everything else. developers are going to use that to come into our district. u.d.g.s mi

this to me shows what a vague concept brexit always was.ain ending its dealings with the european union. i think people who voted to leave felt that they knew what they were voting for. you are saying politically, it is not...? i think the in and out referendum, fooled many into thinking it was actually possible. what, in fact, britain is doing at the moment is redefining its relationship with the eu, which is very different from leaving the eu completely. in fairness to theresa may, even if she was replaced, and there is now talk about that, it is beginning to happen again amongst conservative mps, it is very hard to see, even if a titan who liked the theatre of politics, who had a very clear idea of what form brexit should take, could guide his or her parliamentary party, could get a deal through this particular house of commons. now it might be, in the end, that she gets quite a bad deal if it's still her and it still gets through the house of commons because of various factors. but if the deal is defeated in the house of commons, then t

president vladimir putin has also made his position on the politician clear he usually refers to me in vague descriptions and refuses to name his name in public reactions to mentioning his name on the street are mixed i mean. because russian state television hardly talks about it and even the president never mentions him. and i would guess that a lot of people don't even know who he is. mourning over the news the western puppet policies of it nationalistic. one but that's a close these trying to create chaos he's trying to bring russia of course and i don't like it. meanwhile at the st petersburg office and the other volunteers and staff are steering their own course they are planning for the upcoming protests discussing how to deal with possible arrests herself was briefly detained at a recent demonstration but she's decided the cause is worth the risk. i want to show that there is a civil society in russia or some people who are prepared to take to the streets and express their views and that doing that isn't anything to be ashamed of lucas on school says something important villages to. p

here's one of his vague phrases and beautiful ideas. the peoples of austria hungary whose place among the nations we wish to see safeguarded and assured, should be be accorded the freest opportunity to autonomous development. should be accorded without identifying who should accord it. let's forget that for a minute unless one of my students is watching, then remember it absolutely. the united states declared war very late in the game and the united states was not bound by any international agreement regarding austria hungary. certainly no plans to send troops to the area. yet here was the inquiry charged with giving wilson some advice and another of the vague phrases that wilson gave to the inquiry was this guidance, tell me what is right and i will fight for it. why? what is causing the united states to ends up in this position? i'm going to mention just three that jennifer and erez have already mentioned. first the united states is in this -- meaning we're in this because of the collapse of most other systems of authority. the govern

but with very goldwater if they said who is very goldwater they could have a vague idea of who he was but he was essential to that conservative movement or that revolution but he sparked that conservative revolution and was the grandson of a jewish immigrant born in poland and made his way to san francisco during the gold rush and that did not pan out so well and then came next door to arizona made his way down winding up in phoenix turning his operation into a leading department store in phoenix. goldwater was a college dropout freshman year but his father died early unexpectedly he had to go back and help run the business although a college dropout he had the book conscience of a conservative if you have not read that i encourage you to do so. 3.5million copies have been sold. published in 1860 still holding up very well. 3.5million copies i would even settle at 100,000.

he does not have the confidence of the party, he cannot operate even vaguely successfully as a party he never had much of a mandate and he now should go. henry bolton is ukip‘s third new leader in less than 18 months. he is now pushing for a no ball, something welcomed by one of the biggest names in the party. ukip does not change, it will not exist in 18 months. emerging from this seafront hotel with such a defiant message, henry bolton laid down a challenge to his colleagues, it is time for reform to overcome divisions. but his bullish approach, at odds with what so many want to do here, risked making things far worse. you are a member? i was, not any more. when did you cancel your membership? last week on that basis. to be honest with you, it is a failing party now. i was a ukip man but now i'm afraid, no. they won't get my vote unless they get themselves into gear. it is now up to ukip members to decide his fate but yet another fractious episode is damaging for a party struggling to define its message and its role. the head of the army says the government must invest more in the

defense strategy and of course it follows president trumps national security strategy which is fairly vague this actually gets back to having u.s. defense and if you like a business as usual basis we saw the last two decades since the nine eleven attacks in two thousand and one absolutely shattered the u.s. military model it abandoned normal if you like conventional and nuclear military activities in favor of a counter terror and a counterinsurgency strategy now it's it realizes it has neglected its conventional force structure and its strategic nuclear force structure and is getting back to rebuilding its forces this is actually a very sound it's probably the best defense strategy paper we've seen come out of the pentagon for decades it is in it if you look at the substance of the eleven pages which are unclassified it actually does not paint and aggressive posture against russia or china it talks about them a strategic competitor is it very much in its in its substance keeps away from talking about russia and china as threats clearly though it places greater predominance of importance on

. >> the offsetting ask is so -- the offsetting ask is vague. maria notes describes the plan as cutting immigration by half. a leading sceptic has been complaining this plan won't decrease immigration at all. they work through all the people who filed applications. that will be more than a decade. >> a hawk on immigration. he was criticizing what trump said about dreamers tonight. from the right he's still getting that. >> it's a proposal that's vague enough that people can see what they want to see or don't want to see in it. the white house will have to put more meat on that. if they're proposing to reduce legal immigration by half a million people, democrats won't look at that and say amnesty for 1.8 million dreamers is a fair trade to reducing immigration by half. if it's a much more modest cut to legal immigration, you could have the basis for a trade that would be a down the middle trade where everyone felt they got something. >> i'm concerned about this because i'm a skeptic about ending family migration or chain migration and but i think

where it says that the persons who refused to help with establishing their identity that's a very very vague category and it's already visible right now that it's being maintained that allegedly these people have not helped to establish their identity but that's very hard to prove ok so for what you said it seems that your objection is not only the fact that you regard afghanistan as not being safe but you believe that some of these people are being returned for political reasons rather than haven't broken any rules committee of any crimes here i would say at least to maintain. that these people belong to this category it's very very difficult for german authorities to really proof that they belong to the third category amnesty international that's way more important things that nobody in the time being should ever be returned afghanistan none of these categories as well because under international law that's forbidding what then should happen to them what then should happen to people who are criminals in germany well they are being sent to prison and right now they're taken out of prison an

that seemed very vague with no specifics and no dates. and i wasn't comfortable with that and i felt that approving the project would be antithesis to the restricted alcohol use district. so i do feel that -- i'm glad that the people were able to come together and come to some resolution. it appears there's more specificity in terms of location and how they transition their floorplan to not primarily selling liquor, which was my only concern, not the family, not anything else. so i believe that in the motion, item 12, that showed the agreement itself was not in the written packet. can the staff repeat that real quick. >> certainly, amended motion given to you this evening does have the supplemental, but doesn't reflect the changes that save made per the city attorney's consultation. please stand by regulatory processes that apply to cigarettes and will apply to cannabis, so we thought that it would be better to keep that condition simple; that these other regulatory processes would take care of marijuana and cannabis if this was ever an i

what's happened as a result of this initial announcement, which has been very vague and unclear is more uncertainty. and let's be very blunt about the threat of drugs in this country. there is an opioid epidemic, there is a plague of addiction and the focus of the federal government ought to be on interdicting, disrupting, prosecuting, anyone who deals in drugs and makes money from the trade of drugs. and the policy ought to focus on heroin, opioids, fentanyl, all of the drugs that are so deadly and where the federal government frankly has failed to fulfill it's duty and this policy creates uncertainty, threatens to override rights. as a formal federal prosecutor, the state attorney general, i think that more clarity than confusion is necessary here and this announcement seems designed more for political points and real prosecution. >> before i let you go, i know you came back from a visit to puerto rico, you're concerned the federal government isn't doing enough to help the american citizens in puerto rico, what's your bottom line assessment of what the situation there is like right no

he paints quite a few scenes without direct quotes add all and sources at times vague. but much of what's in the book cross-checks with earlier reports from credible media outlets. >> he was seen on campus. he was a fly on the wall. here's how wolff explains the credibility issues in the book's preface. these challenges have included dealing with off-the-record or deep background material that was later casually put on the record. sources to provided accounts in confidence and subsequently shared them widely and a frequent inattention to setting any parameters on the use of a conversation. among the many balancing acts wolff lists in writing this book. let's bring in detectibecket ad. . how the president has not been directing the new cycle over the past few days as he likes to but sort of consumed by it in a different way. this book has overtaken this thing. sarah huckabee forced to answer questions about the mental fitness of her boss. michael wolff writes this about his impression from 200-some interviews. hoping for the best. with the personal futures as well as the

yes, i would be purposely vague. we would like to come talk to you about some matters of mutual interest, can you put us onto your schedule? can you work that out into your schedule? is there a time that's convenient for you? as low-key as i possibly could and see if he's a taker. see if he's interested in that sort of contact, if he's open to it. in the fbi agents' perfect world, there is no attorney in the room. there is no one slowing down the questioning, interrupting the pace, interfering in any appreciable way. in this circumstance because mr. flynn was not then going to be taken into custody, no reason to read him his rights. this is not a custodial interrogation, not in the fbi office, so you don't really have that concern. it's a great opportunity for the fbi. >> and ron, i know you're not a shrink, but perhaps you are in your personal life, but think about the collection of things that he is. former general used to getting his way. he probably didn't have any reason to think he was guilty of anything. proba

it was vague enough to appeal to the broadest numbers of people.just like 100 years ago there's value in inspiring words for the nation's leaders that emphasize those that bring us together instead to divide us. thank you. [applause] >> thank you. next thank you mark. i don't think the order mattered except the slides are set up in a certain way. thank you for being here. thank you for having me. it's a pleasure to be here and exciting they were doing this event precisely of the day that 100 years ago woodrow wilson gave the 14 points address. not far from here. something ironic about anniversaries and centennial's. by definition the tells were further way than we have ever been before. yet they make us feel closer to the event. i enjoy that feeling and irony. where to begin by recalling this context which led to the speech. the most important part is the bush vick resolution. it's true that wilson worried. but more importantly wilson solomon and his revolution is a symptom affecting human affairs at that moment. it went beyond russia and europe in

sometimes they have vague guidelines. if people get upset, human resources will its -- will address it. i think universities are capable of doing that sort of thing. this sort of thing for a long time until this issue polarized.logically i think the universities were going along fine until all this tension was directed on them. so in terms of the first more sympathetic to the view that public universities should not engage in speech regulation. i don't really trust state legislatures to allow universities to operate the way they should. but i'm not going to be -- i do think the first amendment should be interpreted flexibly in the case of public universities to allow them to regulate speech to a limited extent while at the same time, in the case of private universities, i think they sperm and tatian should be much more -- should be allowed to flourish much more. says it is important for the students to learn how to defend their ideas and to criticize people and so forth. but the really important part of what the universit

one, then it was sort of a vague sense, vague reports that the president might have thought about this. now we have very specifics from people who were briefed about this and who, let's face it, are giving us detailed specifics about the reasoning the president had for the kind of conflict of interest that he thought meant that mueller had to go. and the second thing is the water under the bridge of the last seven months of the investigation of robert mueller where he has talked to people, person after person after person in the white house, and that is very different. because now -- perhaps then the white house aides that told us, hey, this is all bunk, they might not have actually known or thought about the fact they could be contradicting actual testimony. now they know that robert mueller and his investigators have asked this question and know what the real answer is, so they're not going to get out there and say it's not true. >> in some cases if you go back, we were looking at them this morning among the staff, forgive me, the definition of "is." there is no conversation doesn't

. >> reporter: so the problem is as schumer stated after mcconnell's announcement is this is too vague and doesn't give dates or timetable to force republicans to put real legislation on the table to push it forward. if you listen to what mcconnell says, he talks about intentions to address daca and border security and spending. he doesn't give iron clad commitments. it is the lack of trust with the republicans and democrats which is under cutting the possibility of a deal. what is notable and what happened this weekend is that both sides did move a little bit on the positions. you had mcconnell who gafr ve u the demand that the president sign off on the immigration bill before its moves to the senate floor and schumer promising funding for the border wall in exchange for protection for the d.r.e.a.m.ers. dave and christine, we will see the senate resume talks at 10:00 and the vote at noon. >> suzanne, thank you. republican senator who broke from the party on friday night are now back in the fold. jeff flake and lindsey graham voting on the stop-gap funding bill. flake and graham have
