well it's not only just a visit and he just official visit it's a state visit the first one since like the reporting became the president certainly can have some certain details about its protocol because as we know any president of any country can perform on the. state visit to any country during his captaincy certainly this outlines how important this visit is and for some experts this has already been a declaration of intent and the declaration of a live event which is to show that the foreign policy of russia with his new term will not change and i first went to europe now if you go to china basically the relations between moscow and beijing have been very strong over the past several decades the trade turnover has been reaching one hundred billion dollars in its turn over every year so definitely this is russia's closest ally not only in terms of economic ties but also on very many international issues as well just in particular the syrian issue within the u.n. security council russia and china seem to have a unified position now certainly this in this visit will be interesting wi

so visitations are a big deal.parent in years. so it is a very dramatic time when they come to visit them. and in lockup, these visitations have provided some of the most compelling moments in the series. >> few visitations provide as much drama as conjugal visits when an inmate is allowed an evernight stay with his spouse. >> makes you appreciate the little things in life. >> when we met ron golden at the california state prison he was serving a 22 year sentence for armed robbery and assault on correctional staff. he claimed his recent marriage to a childhood friend helped turn him around. >> before we were married i was always in a lot of fist fights and in and out of the hole. >> golden's improved behavior earned him the right to a 46-hour conjugal visit with his wife in one of the prison's family cot gentlemans. -- cottages. before the visit begins, she must pass through security. >> you have your i.d.? >> it is in here. >> okay. >> when ron's wife hope showed up, we thought we would get shots of her being proc

you enjoy your visit.a good day. >> i will. >> noncontact visits are usually inmates that are just arrived or inmates that are on disciplinary housing units for various reasons, whether it be gang related or they're under protective custody. these inmates are required to be behind glass. and they -- basically they're speaking over intercom speakers. >> i don't like being here. it's like -- ugh. i don't like being here. but i have no choice. i have to be here because my man's here, my baby's here. >> i tried everything. i tried heroin first time in prison. first time i ever tried that was in prison because everybody else was. started doing coke. ecstasy. i stopped doing that because the aids thing came out. that scared me right there. i backed up on that. plus being in prison, it's a little life saver when you're in the fast lane because you get these breaks from being out there. it brings your mind back and you can focus a little bit and reflect on what you're doing out there. when you get out you change a

i am really nervous that small neighborhoods like visitation valley will be continually marginalized and pushed down the line. that is part of the reason that visitation valley is in such a fragile position because of the lack of city resources and planning that has happened. i just wanted to offer a cautious word that we not forget our neighborhood, particularly those that have been historically left off the table, disenfranchised, marginalized, however you want to characterize it. it is important we continue to ensure the neighborhoods that are struggling have that support and the resources needed for it to become a vibrant. that ultimately also helps the entire part of san francisco. this is a recurring theme that i am noticing. >> i appreciate that. we are working with oewd to support their work in visitation valley. supervisor chu: thank you. mr. rose? >> members of the committee, we would be happy to respond to any questions or if the commission wants me to go over any of its disagreements. we can do that. supervisor chu: any interest in hearing the items that are in disagreeme

why would you deprive us of visits when we won't even have contact? >> well, one of the reasons is you know that policy does not allow for anybody that was an ex-employee or ex-contractor to come back into the facility. irregardless of the nature. okay? inclusive of that is the fact that even if you guys got married legally, the department of corrections won't recognize that as something that we approve. so in other words, even if you get married, we cannot allow the visits. >> all right, well, how about this? can -- can i get you to talk to robert and get you and robert to maybe move me to central. i'm working on the last of 18. i'm trying to do good and stay focused. >> i'll tell you this. next january we'll have this same conversation and if you give me clear conduct between now and then, i'll seriously sit down and discuss it with you and probably at that point in time, i will call the warden and see if we can transfer you to central. >> i appreciate that. >> give me that time. >> yeah i don't got no floor don't mess with my office. >> no. >> if y

our visits are through glass. it's not the same. you know what i mean? hopefully they'll let me out on the tier where i can go out and interact with people and talk and work on my social skills a little bit. you know? >> even though conrad has just been told he will get none of the special privileges the others in his new unit do, he still talks a good game. >> i'm just hoping they let me out to population, like, you know, be able to walk around, play cards, work out with people and stuff. that is a big deal. >> kind of weird, no? coming back to a population after all this time. wasn't expecting this when i woke up this morning, you know? >> how is it going? you know who i am? >> no. i'm esteban. how is it going? you going to be okay over here? >> yeah. >> you know why they sent you here? >> because i completed the level six process, so my next step is level five, right? >> okay. you weren't having any issues with any other staff over there? >> no. >> no? >> i need some kind of reintegration. even if it's tier time for a little while with people, you kno

how do protestants regard the visits of the queen? >> of course they were delighted that she has come because for several years, they have been complaining that there appeared to be little interest by the royal family on the bigger problems we are having in our land. we are thrilled. and it comes at a time when changes are taking place in our land when it does appear that the ira are in retreat. >> the predictions proved premature. two years later, the ira blew up the boat of the queen's cousin. the bomb also killed two family relatives and a member of the crew. the ira followed up the attack by killing 18 soldiers on the same day in a double bombing, and it was to be almost another 20 bloody years before the ira ended its campaign and finally signed up to the good friday agreement. i reminded john taylor of what he told me 35 years ago. >> why did you say that -- why was that the feeling at the time? >> morel was under attack from the british majority in northern ireland. likewise, the nationalist community was increasing in numbers,

i would lose my friday visit and six months clean to get another family visit and depending on the circumstances or something like that, you can go a year or two without a family visit. so there's a lot i can lose. i would never want to lose my wife and kids in here over some nonsense. i try to do everything i can in a positive way to stay out of the way. >> today, hill's good behavior has earned him another conjugal visit with his wife. >> i go spend time with my wife for a couple days. it's hard to get that privilege, be a lot of stuff going on. fights every day or something. if i have family visits i wouldn't be as careful as i am today. it feels like you're free for a couple days. when you're sitting in that two-bedroom apartment it's like you're at your own house. just can't go outside, like a junior high school kid on punishment. just can't leave the house, you know what i mean? but it's pretty good. it's a relief leaving, coming back is the hard part. >> the actual process leading up to the visit isn't much easier. >> that's hill for a family visit. >> it can take hours for inmates to pas

that may not be these two positions, but these positions could certainly flex to support visitation valley or delivering rec and park bonds, or dpw bonds, are the work we are asking for. what i would like the department to do is share with us, if you can come up by the end of today, so that we can have the information quickly, what is on your area of significant work you are anticipating to need to do work on, and how you envision these two positions helping that? >> the other possibility is to perhaps use the temporary salary money, which we agree to cut for visitation valley. supervisor wiener is correct, the original intent was for these two to be environmental positions, because of the great need in that department. general fund, we can flex how they are used, but that was the original intent. supervisor chu: thank you. given that, why don't we hold off on those three areas, environmental review, legislative affairs, and the commission, and look for the department to provide us with additional information today so we can have enough time to review before our thursday meeting. su

in spite of the mutual visits and cultural exchange programs. the territorial dispute has gained new momentum in recent years. the mainland is well looked after but here we live almost in the wild which i thought i would only stick around here for a while before i knew it i had spent thirty three years in this place my children have all grown up. you could say i've taken a route here. despite attempts by soviet authorities to way down to memories of the japanese chapter in the history of the corals local settlers have been able to preserve several old cemeteries they look after them even though they're situated far away from modern day settlements the high winds that blow with the arrival of spring often ruin the flowers planted near the graves only a handful of locals speak japanese but many others don't need translators to understand the meaning of some symbols and things. but the island is strewn with such graves there are no archaeologists or other people capable of identifying them but one thing is clear what this symbol means that the man

well first of all this visit is certainly very significant because it is the first state visit to britain as russia's president to china something that each president of any country can do only once during his presidential term now certainly has been greeted here with a lot of ceremony with the red carpet with the military marches and certainly this is something which is done according to the political one person one a president conducts a state visit to a certain state but also definitely this visit has a very large meeting in russia and china boosting their ties definitely many experts have already been saying that the fact that. china as one of the destinations to becoming russia's president for the third time means that russia and china will continue to be very strong strategic partners we just witnessed the press conference of the two leaders who didn't tell anybody where they spoke about how the ties between russia and china are flory economic ties in the first place certainly with the trade over the trade turnover already reaching almost reaching one hundred billion dollars a year

the mayor's budget did not include a position for visitation valley. we believe have an fte would do that work. it was not the original intent of the particular position. we can continue to work on that. i think we all recognize the need for it. supervisor chu: thank you. supervisor wiener? supervisor wiener: with respect to the two requested public projects, environmental planners, my understanding is that will be funded through the budget and then they will not be billed out to the other departments? >> correct, through general fund. supervisor wiener: i think i mentioned this last time. having gone through a number of these public projects, it is a real fire drill every time making sure that we can get staffing from the planning department and making sure to move these projects forward in a timely manner. it undermines confidence in the public spending and capital process when we have a project that is moving forward and then it has a hit but because there is a delay in the environmental review. most recently, and dolores park, the department, they

i can't go visit her without an i.d. card.ur early and hoping to god that i got in and got to see her for the exact 40 minutes. >> chad was released on probation but couldn't find his i.d. when his personal property was returned to him upon his release. since the jail requires visitors to show one, he was unable to visit katie. >> broke my heart and it did make me down in the dumps. i don't want her heart to be broken. i don't want her to think i'm putting her off for any reason. as soon as i get an identification card i'll be in those doors. >> until then, chad is working on rebuilding his life and staying off drugs. >> i've been pressured to use again several times out here. literally that was the first time in my life i think i ever said no six times repeatedly. that's the farthest thing from my mind is dope. >> chad is living at the salvation army in downtown tampa and says he's looking for work. >> part of my motivation and my strength is my wife that's locked up doing time for something that i probably influenced her und

so they get compliance visits just like other people. the magnitude of the expansion, if you will, if i could give you some numbers, last year we conducted without saas being involved, approximately 1700 compliance surveys. this year, to date, this fiscal year to date we've done about 2700. so being able to use the resource of the saas to do these kinds of surveys has truly been an expanse of the effort. the other thing to understand is, the compliance surveys that they're conducting related to the post 9/11 gi bill are a little bit more complex. they take a little bit longer to do. i'm not sure if that's what accounts for fewer numbers in the cases you've heard here. but that may account for some of it. as we look at these things, although it may be difficult to determine the deceptive practices and those kinds of things, the compliance surveys are able to identify in some cases some serious enough misrepresentation or improper practices that the saas are pulling approvals. >> thank you, mr. chairman. thank you for your candidness to he

this is his second visit. he is hoping to raise a million dollars in this for our visit. after his visit here he is heading to los angeles. >>mark: expect delays from sfo headed to san francisco. we do not know his exact route of more than likely it will be 101 around noon. he may find some ramps temporarily closed. >>darya: the alameda county board of supervisors cannot agree on a replacement on a supervisor that stepped down. at least three of the four must agree on a replacement by june 19th. if they cannot it will be up to the governor to name a successor. >>mark: the proposition 8 battle is now destined for the nation's highest court. they're planning to ask the u.s. supreme court to review the decision. yesterday's federal appeals court refused to revisit the decision the supreme court is not required to take up the case. in order for the u.s. supreme court to picket the case, four of the nine justices must agree to hear it. that decision will bulls likely be made in the fall. if they do decide to hear the case, a final ruling could come down by june next year. >>da

president chose as his destination for the first official visit outside but. what does this symbolic choice mean for the relations between russia and germany and between russia and europe in general europe which is now in the grip of an economic turmoil who asked this and other questions to a prominent expert and international relations in germany. blood imprudence travel plans have received a lot of media attention lately. in america and went to. germany. contra to visit us president germany has long been brushed. and one of the biggest markets. russia germany is worth a record. two countries are also working together. which would deliver russia directly to its first line was launched. welcome to the show thank you very much for being with us well first of all how was it seen here in germany that mr putin chose berlin as his first destination in the first foreign nation outside the space. schools of thought in germany concerning russia one is very interesting ethic about russia this is a business community and the interest yes the cli of course welcomed mr pu

supervisor wiener: the question to the chair is whether these two positions will be devoted to visitation valley -- i am supportive of these positions, but i do not know that they should be devoted to one particular neighborhood as opposed to the planning department focusing on particular things, for example, visitation valley as a whole. supervisor chu: the way i am seeing things is there will be a number of different city needs, whether visitation valley or different capital planning projects, or something we would not have anticipated coming down the pipeline later on. i'm imagining there will be some level of capacity within the department to deal with visitation valley that may not be these two positions, but these positions could certainly flex to support visitation valley or delivering rec and park bonds, or dpw bonds, are the work we are asking for. what i would like the department to do is share with us, if you can come up by the end of today, so that we can have the information quickly, what is on your area of significant work you are anticipating to need to do work on, and how

wely team coverage on this presidential visit. -- we have live team coverage on this presidential visit. let's begin with amy hollyfield. >> reporter: good morning. his first stop a fundraiser at one market street across from the ferry building. he's not here yet but it is obvious down here that someone important is coming to town. when the commander in chief comes for a visit an justments have to be made. police officers, including -- including the bomb squad work with the secret service to start shutting didn't market street this morning. some vendors were told there wouldn't be room for them today. >> they took half of hour spaces out here and parking is different. i'm not sure unless they are all like secret or whatever. >> reporter: it did feel a little secretive downtown. some of the people who work at the landmark building weren't told the president would be attending a fundraiser there. >> they didn't give us information. it was through word-of-mouth that we heard about the -- that he's going to be here. >> our garage is closed. that's all i know >> reporter: san francisco polic
