the feedback we are getting is you cannot do all of them on one visit. it is really better to come back and have different experiences. >> thank you. i am with mark jensen of jensen architect. he was one of the architects to be chosen to do the presidio habitat. when you heard about this project, what inspired you about that call? >> our inspiration is a great blue heron. it was the site itself that attracted us. this is an incredibly beautiful outdoor room. we did a bit of reverse engineering once we knew we wanted to work here. which animals live here? the great blue heron jumped out at us. we walked around, and quickly, you get into another pace. you slow down, leave the city behind you. you can feel the wind and the breeze. in our increasingly frenetic, fast-paced, connected life, the chance to be of here and slow down a bit was part of the agenda. as part of the installation, it was suggested that this would be deliberately not mowed because it would allow the sustaining of insects, plants, that would graduate -- that would gravitate to the area. >>

the agency responsible for administering the park and the safety of the guests you visit -- who visit has been working on this innovative fund to bring a green and low impact immunity to the park. the goals and objectives, as outlined in the rfp, are to safely make -- and hence the user experience, amenities, and provide jobs for city coffers. rec and parks did exceptional due diligence on this matter, studying in the context of golden gate park operations, and then commissioning others to operate the said wait for trial for over a year. and then conducting a rigorous rfp and public hearing process. a host of professionals, agencies, and city staffers were involved in the process, as well as the city attorney's office. i can assure you the issue of public safety has always been a primary consideration for all parties involved. in the months since the elector for company was selected, and contract signed, there has not been some new discovery about the inherent dangers of writing a segway that should be a cause for any special hearing on the matter. any discussion of segway safety must

there's a lot of attention to this visit and this is the first visit by joe biden to russia as the vice president of the united states a lot is he's going to meet with the president of russia need to be very different prime minister vladimir putin as well and there's been the old read tons of state relations even before it started in the media all of the purposes of this visit and all of the issues to be discussed and according to some rumors joe biden's visit could be washington's sign and that it is backing president need to be d.v.d.'s in russia's next presidential pool and according to some speculation which is already been deemed crazy rumors by mania analysts one of the issues also could be discussed is finding a job for prime minister vladimir putin if you doesn't seek or in the next presidential election in russia according to these. these rumors he could be offered the seat of the chairman of the international olympic committee or even the seat of the secretary general of the united nations but let's put speculation aside for a moment there are real issues which need to be disc

that is a remote part of the park that most people do not visit, and i think it would be wise to use that. i want to point out that on the display of there, the safety issue was always looked at as one two parties confront one another on a pathway or trail. our concern is the opposite -- when at four miles an hour, they will overtake pedestrians. especially today. i'm a bicyclist. i ride in the park every day. when you come up behind pedestrians, especially if they happen to have ipads in their ears, they are completely oblivious to the rest of the world -- if they happen to have ipods in their ears. they do not know you are behind them. that is a potential danger, and i think that is probably the issue. a park is supposed to be a place of respite, and the complaints we get from our members is they want to just go over and have a nice, quiet walk in the park, and this is a motorized vehicle. it is like the elephant in the room. you may want to deny it is there, but it is there. supervisor mar: can you reiterate the position? you are supportive of segways, but you would like to see th

as far as the goes so this is something to discuss during this visit for sure. there is something on their economic side so this wide biden came with such big amount of business leaders for his country so that they will be able to talk to. their counterparts in russia right but also w.q. right so russia's access. to the w.r. says russia is the only major economy that still stings out of this big global body so i believe there are ways for him to. push forward those agendas. like any comic side and a.b.m. side. which could push forward the original first but of course it's only. a topic of the discussion because as we heard earlier. a lot will be devoted to their situation in the middle of source something where russia can have a big say first of all as a permanent. country having permits and security council but not only it's a big energy country do you think you're going to be able to persuade moscow to support the u.s. over libya and the un well i think that. if you look at france and developments there have been a number of steps where russia was supporting s

when you have ever visited amsterdam, see all of these people cycle and who think what would happen if all of these trips would have to be made by car, then there would be no more amsterdam economy because no one would be able to move about. there would be one giant traffic jam all day. so the bike is the grease in the amsterdam economy. you have to build less highways, you have to build less parking garage. you put the bike -- use very little space. where you have to build parking garage, they're very expensive. there are recent surveys that companies pay up to 30,000 euros, that's $50,000 per year per person to have them traffic by car to work, where as a bike costs only 250 euros so there are large benefits at stake. also, there is lots of surveys that show that people who live in towns where there is more cycling, people like to live there better than in towns where there is less cycling. there are an overwhelming lot of advantages on cycling and i'm going to put some -- and then this is what oakland should do as few of them -- recommendations that are put together oakland also cou

well you know the gender of any visit by a top u.s. official to russia would inevitably include a meeting with civil society representatives and so i think should russian top officials do when they come to washington. that's you know business as usual and of course many people would argue for russian opposition figures it's not the best thing to do to ask u.s. consul parts to sanction their russian opponents but that said i think it's very nature thing to do to hear from civil society representatives in more school what they have to see about the current political situation russia ok let's move on now to trade now trade between russia and the u.s. is around twenty three billion dollars and that's why. every small given their size and given their trade with other partners in the world what needs to change politically in order for trade to advance. well you know i think it's a difficult task really to breach the. geographic distance between russia and the united states it's not so easy for two geographically distant countries to engage i
