e-mail -- this is september 9 or september 10, that i would be open to volunteering for this council or working for this council to help people with disability earn more rights. i had to send multiple e-mails before i got a response. i didn't get a response until this morning and it told me that m.o.d. is not looking for volunteers at this point. i'm wondering why a council that has a five-day response time, working on bare bones, is not accepting volunteers that only want to help people with disabilities. i'm also concerned that these meetings -- i mentioned this before -- are happened bimonthly. that feels like a real slap in the face for those of us who are part of the public and don't get our voice heard. we only get three minutes once every two months. if we're sick or can't call it, it's four months before we can share what is a serious -- usually a serious access issue. in my case, there has been multiple access issues that i've brought to the attention of the council, the secretary. one of them is the accessibility of notices that are put on trees by department of public works. they're

in particular the proposal to supercharge partnership working between councils and bus operators. seeing growth in passenger numbers. we know about 1,200 right bus workers have been made redub tant, what is —— redundant, what is stopping that happening. it is hard to see that and the impact in northern ireland. what we need is a long—term plan, such as the one that we set out earlier this month, where bus operators committed from 2025 to make every bus they buy a zero emission or low emission bus. planning for the long—term with funding in place from government can help all parts of the supply chain work together and make the industry flourish. thank you very much. interesting, so the big question is whether the bus industry can ditch the diesel and at what point? there isa the diesel and at what point? there is a lot of emphasis on electric in terms of transforming the bus services in england, but will the companies that set the fares and the routes get on board? plenty more to discuss. volkswagen face the anger of a50 thousand german car owners as the emisssions cheating scandal

so through our department's work on the master plan and -- we echo the findings of the long-term coordinating council assisted-living work group report. residential care facilities are a critical resource in our community for our vulnerable populations and as the population continues to grow and age, the need for long-term care, especially affordable long-term care will continue to increase. and in recent years, san francisco has experienced a loss of these important facilities. so dph is supportive of the legislation to preserve the current stock and control the conversion of residential care facilities. we're also supportive of efforts to develop legislation and more strategies that encourage the growth of these facilities in san francisco in order to meet the health care needs of our most vulnerable populations now and in the future. thanks. >> supervisor safai: thank you. i just wanted to say a couple of comments. i want to thank supervisor mandelman and president yee for bringing the legislation forward. i know the context of the conversations we've been having over the course of the last couple

according to a report issued earlier this year by the city of assisted living working group, coordinated council working group, san francisco has 21 fewer residential buildings and we did in 2012. at 26% decline resulting in 112 critically needed beds. we are in the risk of losing even more of these facilities. the department of public health has already learned of the planned closure of three additional facilities and it seems certain that more closures on the way. in response, president e and i are introducing a resolution today that will impose interim zoning controls for 18 months to require conditional use authorization for a proposed change of use from a residential care facility to a different use. they intent of these interim controls is discouraged -- discourage further closings, slow their loss and give the city additional time to address this challenge. the resolution requires that's in evaluating any such proposed change of use, the planning commission take into account the following factors. any findings by the department of public health, the human services agency, the department o

council to the aging and adult services commission. i have been asked to make a few comments about the work of the council that we have bee have bg for seniors and adults with disabilities. i wanted to briefly state what the council does because we are probably not well-known within the city. we advise the commission on all matters relating to the development, administration and operations of the area plan which comes out of the older americans act including needs assessments programs and budgets relating to the well-being of the population served within the scope and spirit of state and local regulations and laws and ordinances. we have 22 members, one from each district and 11 appointed by the commission at-large. there are 22 of us on the council. what i was asked to do is provide demographics because i think this speaks to what you have been talking about. older adults are the fastest growing age group. nearly 30% of those in san francisco will be a senior over age 60 by 2030. currently one in four san franciscans are seniors. we have one of the most diverse senior populations within the country. about one in 10 san franciscans report a

obviously, it would be down to the local high street, the local council, in some areas there may be a business improvement district workinglso seen of course if government money goes in often then other private investment will be leveraged in as well, and we have seen that in various places thatis have seen that in various places that is what happened in hull for example when it was city of culture. previous schemes of the derby cathedral quarter, the money going in as cathedral quarter, the money going inasi cathedral quarter, the money going in as i say to preserve the buildings, to make them attractive and revitalise them and make them places that new businesses want to openin places that new businesses want to open in because they are not having to spend the money revitalising the building, they can concentrate on running their business, actually creating over a0 new jobs running their business, actually creating over a0 newjobs and safeguarding another 160 and again to make sure that in this case, derby, was thriving again, and that is what we want to see happen, so it is what we want to see happen, so it is about ob

incident i can tell you those experts actually come from a security council group called the panel of experts for yemen so they normally work on the yemen file set up by a security council resolution 2140 those experts as i say work on all yemen issues to try and find out what's going on in yemen there are 5 of them appointed and it's fair to tell you that probably most of those are not experts in drones some of those experts for example will be experts in finance and that sort of thing so 5 experts but whether they're necessarily the right people who can look into this very detailed issue of drones and where drones came from we'll have to see the secretary general so make it clear that of course the high level week of the u.n. general assembly is coming up in the coming days starts next week and we're going to have president trump here looks like we're going to have president rouhani here although he hasn't yet received a visa or in the iranians are saying that if he doesn't get one soon he'll cancel his trip and so there is the prospect of diplomacy the saudis are going to be represented by a minister here and other gulf

but when the council was working on getting the site set up, they were able to turn lincoln around, turn the statue around so he had to look at mrs. and they were very deliberate in that choice. so they wanted to control in a very moderate quiet manner. dorothy height was able to have the statue turned around and before i she said anyone really notice. [laughter] that is really how she worked and often times how the council was able to get from very radical things done. >> ted has changed the whole way when we think about free bird. [laughter] >> i don't know how much we really need to think about that. >> alsout with that and tammy wynette in divorce, you use pop culture as a way of talking about the larger historical issues can you talk about that with the context? >> the title of the book, i do not know where it came from. it was from from the mississippi and tammy wynette. it was the first or second hit song. but like she says, the songwriter who wrote it says it's spelling out the hurting words so little jail you won't know was going on. you spell out profanity or what you do want t
