special code provisions that western soma wants to apply to all of the districts in western soma. i just want to take a moment to highlight a few of those code issues that will be part of the code update. first of all, there are several what we call large sites in western soma, half acre or larger. some are multiple acres. those are proposed to be split zoned in terms of height. you have your basic planning code requirements, but if you go above that height, you will trigger a conditional use, and there'll be other trade-offs. things that more affordability required, findings having to be made, it to mitigate or reduce land use and sex between different types of land uses within the proposed development and adjacent developments. and preferably a way to have more of the impact fees used on site through in-kind agreements, and especially for open space. there is a real dearth of open space within soma and western soma specifically. we already have the concept in use in south of market right now with some of the districts in terms of higher heights given further trade-offs. it is no

the woman who western media are.

provided was just about the reality of the state of affairs the point is that decisions taken by western countries are based not on real events in syria but rather on the task of suppressing syria as an arabic state that plays an important role in resistance at the same time unfortunately they draw conclusions from reports by a few self-seeking arabic media outlets who act as their accomplices in covering violence and crime committed by terrorists and militants in syria now that's another attempt at adopting a tough resolution against syria has failed what do you expect the international community to do in order to exert pressure on damascus. i believe that october fifth two thousand and eleven when russia and china blocked the un resolution was a historic day and i hope it will be remembered the fact that russia and china use their veto for the good of the people has enabled us to feel for the first time that there is a different force in the world one that stands for justice neutrality culture and civilization and this force stepped onto the international stage to stand equal to wester

the western hemisphere is in the midst of a transformation.re's something else that's important that's going on. and that is we have new opportunities to partner with the other nations in this region in order to work together to meet the emerging threats. the foiled iranian plot for assassinating the saudi ambassador to the united states exemplifies how these two trends are coming together. on the one hand we have a very severe threat in our hemisphere from iran. at the same time, the government of mexico was an absolutely indispensable partner in helping us meet this challenge. and i want to praise the government of mexico for stepping up to the plate in a way that was absolutely essential. the two trends are coming together here. threat and opportunities for partnership. but there's also a broader trend here for partnership opportunities that i wanted to address. all across the hemisphere, we have nations that are only increasingly able to handle their own threats to their own countries but to be what i would call security exporters. that is
