unit. further more, i would like to talk about fairness. we about the our home in 2013 because we wanted to live in a single-family home. it was marketed and sold to us as a single-family home. in 2014, based on a false accusation, the building department asked us to stop work and let them research whether or not it was a single-family home. after six months, they did a lot of research and confirmed that it was, indeed, a single-family home. we admit that mistakes were made by our prior contractors and architects, who signed and stamped our drawings as accurate. as owners, we've diligently all means available to correct the mistakes and move forward. our proposal is to keep the building as we bought it, a single-family home. right-sized, for one family. we're actually reducing the footprint of our building by approximately 100 square feet. and we're adding about 700 square feet of habitable space by adding dormers to get a little third bedroom and through excavation. the original building o

quite a diverse unit. but to really get to the heart of the matter, we have to go back to just after world war ii. as you all know we fought world war ii with our allies, france, britain of course the commonwealth countries a number of others with the soviet union. we started to realize it soviet union was perhaps not the partner we wanted to continue going to the ball with so to speak. stalin's rhetoric will not -- the czechoslovakia. and the berlin air lift in 1949/1950. were all signs that our relationships with the russians was going badly. a gentleman by it name of george kennen who wrote a very long telegram out of moscow outlined his had worries and fears and that really outlined american policy for the next 30 years. tilted the united states towards containment of the soviet union and became even more offensive in the 1950s when korea was -- when south korea was ifvaded by north korea. of course it domino theory was beginning to be explained for one of the reasons of the containment theory. the it

it's going from four units to two units for the building, although upon site visit, only three units were found to exist today, but this is going from four under city records from four units to two. >>vice president richards: so looking to entertain a motion -- i mean, maybe the project architect has more about the legal status of the building under the 3r report, and we can address that. >>commissioner moore: the second point i'd like to make, and i agree with my other fellow commissioners, if the mayor's housing would step into the fray, somebody would be here and giving us a clear direction or would have something in writing in this particular package to substantiate the conversation. i do believe that's typically done that way, and for those reasons, at this moment, i cannot really entertain participate in any activity on this project. >>vice president richards: and maybe if you could also address the garages and whether or not they are in use. i had understood the garages to be vacant. >> regarding the three units versus the four units, we went through the site. we can't find an

first unit did. but this time with a cover that made sense. these guys were doing physical security vulnerability surveys for the ucom commander all across europe, africa, and the middle east. along with that mission, that's actually one of the security surveys in uganda. along with that mission, they're still doing the war time and ct mission. quite busy. and you can see that from the earlier pictures, the equipment has changed radically. one of the guys i interviewed for this book served in the unit in 1960. he saw the pictures in the book and said, it looked to him like the difference between u.s. army in world war i and going to star wars. which, yeah. along with the assault teams, which was the previous ones, we had sniper teams. and special weapons for opening doors. door opening devices, so to speak. that's not that door, but that's the kind of techniques you practiced to get into a room. that's a steel door, so there's an exceptionally difficult target. if anybody was directly on the other si

states ambassador to the united nations. nikki haley that specimen for the state a hostile place for the state of israel both the current and the previous secretary generals have objected to the un's disproportionate focus on israel it's a wrong that undermines the credibility of this institution and that in turn is harmful for the entire world i've often wondered why in the face of such hostility israel has chosen to remain a member of this body and then i remember that israel has chosen to remain in this institution because it's important to stand up for yourself israel must stand up for its own survival as a nation but it also stands up for the ideals of freedom and human dignity that the united nations is supposed to be about standing here today being forced to defend sovereignty and the integrity of my country the united states of america many of the same thoughts have come to mind the united states is by far the single largest contributor to the united nations and its agencies we do this in part in order to advance our

in the rad units. many were at the end of their useful lives. we have preserved many units that were otherwise lost and not habitable because there was no funding to operate them and operate them as habit there was a political compromise but we brought units that were sitting vacant, unused because of lack of funding back into circulation and housing for our most vulnerable population. thank you. >> on that point, i agree the rehab of public housing is of outmost important. i thought it would be a deduction had we lost it rather than the maintenance. i agree it would have beos

united states no longer stands by when israel is unfairly attacked in the united nations and the united states will not be lectured to by countries that lack any credibility when it comes to treating both israelis and palestinians fairly. it is no coincidence that the historic peace agreement between egypt and israel and between jordan and israel were both signed on the white house lawn. if and when there is a historic peace agreement between israelis and palestinians, there is a good likelihood that it too will be signed on the white house lawn. why is that? it is because the united states has credibility with both sides. israel will never be and should never be bullied into an agreement by the united nations or any collection of countries that have proven their disregard for israel's security. to my palestinian brothers and sisters, i can tell you with complete confidence that the united states is deeply committed to achieving a peace agreement between the israelis and the palestinians. we have demonstrated that commitment over many years and with the investment of large quantities of

favorable ratings in the united states if he once again becomes the champion of the united states and show how so many of those muslims around the world hate the united states for taking a position like he did in terms of jerusalem becoming the capital of israel i think he will live on the idea that we need to fight terror we need to find extremism and we need to find those who hate america around the world who did such a decision unites muslim leaders around the world could it unite countries like turkey and saudi arabia that have had somewhat tense relations in recent years i'm still waiting for you to ask me about the about the about the cons right right and that's exactly what the council is because look you might gain certain leverage you might gain a certain popularity it might be politically savvy in washington for president trump but in the long. on the long term if not on the short term this will have bizarre strips consequences for the united states around the world for a good number of reasons but i will summarize them in three one the united states cannot be trusted. why b

the united states is by far the single largest contributor to the united nations and its agencies. we do this in part to advance her values and interests. when that happens our participation in the un produces great good for the world. together we see, close, and educate desperate people. we hold out machines accountable. we do this because it represents who we are, it is our american way. but, we will be honest with you, when we make generous contributions to the un, we also have a legitimate expectation that are good willis recognized and respected. when a nation is singled out for attacking this organization, that nation is disrespected. what's more, that nation is asked to pay for the privilege of being disrespected. in the case of the united states, we are asked to pay more than anybody else for that privilege. unlike in some un member countries, the united states government answers to its people. as such, we have an obligation to acknowledge when our capitals being poorly spent. we have an obligation to demand more for investment. if our investment fails we have an obligation

the project will maintain three units and introduce an accessory dwelling unit and existing two unit on the property under a separate building permit. the subject property is located on the northeast corner of castro and 21st street, in a neighborhood that consists of residential single-family, dwrelgs. [ inaudible ] -- the department received one letter in support and five letters opposing the project. copies are available for the commission. the department recommends not taking dr and approving the conditional use authorization for the following reasons: the project will provide a three bedroom family sized unit that is of compatible mass and scale with the neighborhood and consistent with the residential design guidelines. the project will result in a net gain of one unit through the proposed accessory dwelling unit in the building adjacent on-site. this edu would add to the housing demand throughout the city. no additional tenants will be displaced as a result of this project. given the scale of the project, there will be no significant impact on existing capacitor local street s

ambassador to the united nations. what we witnessed here today in the security council is an insult it won't be forgotten it's one more example of the united nations doing more harm than good in addressing the israeli palestinian conflict. now under rule thirty seven of the united nations any country that is affected by a resolution has the right to address the meeting of the security council so we heard from both israel and palestine and the palestinian representative basically accused the united states of joking with the international community or teasing the international community member now at this point we saw what is a rare occurrence in the un security council chamber there was a vote among the security council that was fourteen to one with the entire international community essentially united against the united states the usa voted against the resolution and the international community disagreed and almost unanimously there was a unanimous opposition to the united states in the security council however it is

states or rely on the united states either for their own security and survival or rely on the united states in terms of conflicts that they themselves are waging either amongst themselves or against other states and in that context i don't think they're going to privilege anything concerning the palestinians over the their bilateral relations with with the united states and i think you know nevertheless it's it's not meaningless that at a time when arab states and governments are so divided over the various conflicts in the region syria yemen libya and so on that they could at least. not be divided by the palestine question as well that's not meaningless but under the circumstances it's certainly not particularly significant either you now have what might be called an incipient rebellion in the occupied territories that needs concrete support and assistance and none of that has been forthcoming either from the arab league or from the organization of the islamic conference similarly these states could for example have put in provisions to make their own relations with third parties wh

that's analogous to what's happening the united states and this best case scenario here in the united states has fifty odd sites with communities schools that i looked at that are a mile from burnside it's also similarly being exposed to these clouds of toxins and you know there's a long fight to bring attention to the issues of the burn pits overseas there's been no fight to do this similar so you know take any sort of action here in the united states no measurement of what is in the pollution that's you know dead. that's touching the school grounds or the residential areas around these bases no statement from the department defense or my reporting that that was worthwhile or something that they should do and really i mean and that's with laws that are supposed to limit this and promise that it's not and say so i'm glad that you mentioned the really lack of some might say accountability others might say recognition i do want to share this because as we mentioned the department of veterans affairs declined to join our show today but this is what it says on their website at this time r

at the united nations. the general assembly preparing to vote that condemns president trump's decision to recognize jerusalem as israel's capital. first in the security counsel and now in the full general assembly, critics accuse the white house in taking sides in a dispute that has been central to the conflict. nikki haley insists that's not the case, but also said this is bigger than that. she said believe votes with the clear goal of whacking the united states, whatever the issue will have consequences. >> the united states will remember this day in which it was singled out for attack in the general assembly for the very act of exercising our right as a sovereign nation. we will remember it when we were called upon to once again make the world's largest contribution to the united nations and we will remember when so many countries come calling on us as they so often do to pay even more and to use our influence for their benefit. >> ambassador haley's remarks come a day after president trump suggested nat

so, five units total. >> and how many occupants? >> there is eight, actually, nine occupants downstairs, and three up there, upstairs. >> commissioner lee. and commissioner walker. >> what is your profession, what do you do? >> i'm a real estate agent. i work for keller williams. >> so, when you bought this property, didn't you realize that these were all problematic? >> yes. actually, it was before i study for the real estate license. i just got it recently and so my father was the one actually made the decision of purchasing the house. and i don't think he understood fully that it was going to be a lot of work. >> how many buildings do you and your father own? >> i own, me and my father own this one and my mother owns a building on 26th avenue and gary. >> and you have tenants in the other building as well. >> yes, we have a few tenants. >> commissioner walker. >> you are very lucky that you didn't end up with a fire like the last case that we -- i mean, with all of the tapping into the electric, this is exactly why this is such a

the united states isn't going to put up with it. and the international community has also rallied around saying that north korea has to denuclearize. but that's just the honest facts. if north korea attempts to threaten or do anything to destabilize us or our allies, we absolutely will utterly destroy them. chris: so given how well you reflect president trump's approach -- whether you call it diplomatic or undiplomatic -- there's been a lot of speculation that if secretary of state tillerson were to leave his job sometime early next year, that the president might ask you to take the job, and you said this week that you would, quote, not take it. and i guess my question is, why on earth not in. >> i have said for months that i am not interested in the secretary of state position, and it's because i know that i am valuable here at the united nations. i am able to negotiate. i'm able to move the ball. i'm able to really diplomatically to what i need to and sometimes not diplomatically do what i need to. so i think i'm effective, and i

united or the l.a. galaxy on the world stage as a club so do you think fans from other countries and particularly the ones that are quote soccer mad make up for the lost of the u.s. tourists are almost certainly not right if you think about the sort of teams who are going to come from this region of the world instead of the united states that's going to be a coast to reka it's going to be a honduras it's going to have an amount of much much smaller countries in the united states certainly won't do anything to make up for the maybe fifty thousand u.s. soccer fans that might have normally been expected to go over to russia what about the businesses that try to profit from the world cup for example these an ounce to amping up point of sale terminals to accept digital payments made their phones or even smart watches during the event are they going to be hurt financially in the same way. well that's certainly a bit obviously also if your big advertiser who bought time already for world cup games here in the

and you're watching the latest headlines here totty international thank you for joining us now the united nations general assembly hearing is under way discussing the move to condemn america's recognition of jerusalem as israel's capital announced by donald trump two weeks ago let's listen to israel's ambassador how many times. for the palestinians to join us in dialogue how many times over these calls for peace have been rejected all of us. all of us have lost ground. when i mean. offered the palestinians a state in two thousand we were met with suicide bombers or our buses in the shootings in our streets in two thousand and five by mr sharon disengaged from gaza removed everything go israeli home you will not find any thetan meant any occupation in gaza anymore since then we have been attacked again and again with the walkouts and missiles aimed at our civilians yet this body was silent. the united states simply stated a fact they officially declared what i've always been through jerusalem have been and always will be the capital of the state of israel. those. two days with pollution i

the united states has not taken a position on boundaries or borders. plus a major breakthrough is reached in. both sides agree to move to the next stage though senior officials warn that things will only get tougher. thanks so much for joining us this hour my name is neil harvey this is r.t. international. one palestinian has been killed and more than two hundred people injured in large scale protests according to palestine health ministry tear gas rubber bullets even live ammunition was used by israeli police as they clash with demonstrators tensions have escalated following u.s. president donald trump's decision to recognize jerusalem as the capital of israel. clashes between protesters and israeli police have been seen across palestine in jerusalem people have been gathering near the damascus gates where there's a massive israeli security presence and the shelling ski reports. photos were hurled at the security services and at the journalists who were trying to get out of the way and then the police in turn were pushing those protesters away and run

the chief bank, the central bank, the bank of the united states. and this is the second bank of the united states because as you recall from earlier in the semester there was a first bank of the united states. 1791, alexander hamilton, pushed -- stockholders and dividends. this bank, hamilton says, will benefit not only financial -- private financial interests, but will benefit the country, the public, how will it benefit the public? because the treasury, the u.s. treasury will deposit money in the bank. money coming in from taxes, and the treasury can also borrow money from the bank. this bank has a 20-year charter, but it has lots of opponents. you remember that chief opponent, thomas eversjeffersons the bank. the bank, jefferson believes, is an institution that imperils american liberty by elevating to power a wealthy financial elite, an unproductive elite. jefferson opposes it. jefferson comes to power in 1800. so does his party, the bank of the united states, that first bank, the charter expires in 1811. one year later a war erupts with britai

especially when speaking about the united nations. it's interesting he rejects the outcome of the vote before it has even been ard. that is the style born of the fact that many israelis support him in this because they feel they don't get a fair hearing at the united nations. he went on to say however that it has taken americans forever asrecognize jerusalem israel's capital and it may take the united nations many more years. genie: what kind of reaction has there been from the palestinians? the israelis feel they don't get a clear -- fair hearing. what have the palestinians had to say? are they optimistic? >> it is safer ground and they are optimistic. the united nations security council vote wasare they optimi? >> moved by two of the palestinians allies. been and this vote has moved by turkey and yemen. all of the palestinian allies in the united nations are getting together to support the palestinians on this issue and they do feel supported in this forum. it's interesting the general assembly vote that we are going to see later to

i must mean i don't think there are many palestinians that believe in the united states definitely and being an honest broker but if they needed any feel the pull of i think they got it yesterday at the end of the day you know when talking about peace between the easily palestinians and the maintaining israel is jewish and democratic only the end of the occupation ensuring that israel is within the green line or the force of jew nine hundred sixty seven borders will ensure jewish and democratic there is no to the there is no way in which is or maintain expanding settlements in occupied occupying the west bank in east jerusalem is still staying jewish and democratic yes it's a complex it's a complex situation it's a complex conflict not what we can put all the blame on one side and think the other side is blameless but this is not the way to deal if it's only fair and just solution which recognizes the political ites the civil rights and the human rights of all people between the jordan river and the sea and also direct palestinian refugees outside outside the region we will bring a las

the united states is often stood beside israel. we did not on december twenty third two thousand and sixteen we will not make that mistake again. now we also heard some strong language from bolivia the envoy representing bolivia called for recognition of east jerusalem as the palestinian capital and he called for a return to the nineteen sixty seven borders now at this point the meeting has briefly broken up there's going to be more discussion before the vote proceeds but based on what we heard from nikki haley it is anticipated that the united states will veto this resolution this resolution essentially condemns the move by the united states by the trumpet ministration to recognize jerusalem as israel's capital and move the u.s. embassy to jerusalem now at this point for a u.n. resolution to pass in the security council it cannot be the towed by any of the permanent members of the fifteen member body of the u.n. security council so if the united states does veto the resolution as we've heard nikki haley indicate they will do this

let me let me ask you how is the answer the president was very adamant in his speech that the united states he supports the two state solution and that he is still pushing for peace between the palestinians in the israelis and he also did not mention once that any parameters around the city of jerusalem are changing so how can you say that he's disqualified himself because it sounds like nothing's going to change. allow me to correct you he never said that he supported. that but at least palestinians and israelis support to see a solution he would be willing to support us so he's also going away from my story because u.s. position what he said today was to recognize jerusalem as the capital of history does not recognize west so then he recognized jerusalem this is an encouragement for settlement expansion i don't know if you have seen how many palestinian homes have been demolished occupy gypsum over the past few weeks over the past sixty years of occupation and therefore once again this is step is going to the illegal israeli actions and something or anywhere closer to peace. i want

the united states at that time did not advertise. nobody knew in the united states. i don't know why the press was that way. disgusting to me. >> anything? him -- butknow about i don't understand it. vehicle overke his the dead bodies? i know what a dead body is in what it smells like. he didn't know until he got in there. vietnam and korea was the same. i would go on and never see it again. >> thank you. any others? >> alex parker, virginia tech. my question is for the colonel. did youpow camp, what do to keep yourself and your buddies going and make sure you survived? let mehe camp itself, book.his -- this is my we had timeitself, enough to read, there for classes. there were classes. we had music. we were treated as officers, as human beings. we didn't have enough food. the germans didn't give us enough. we start. -- we starved. i went from 119 pounds to 116 at that time. we had time to draw. i have a book, here. pictures and i brought these home, reproduced them. we had classes in the music -- music, classes in chemistry, literature, we did everything. like was n

the israeli capital however the move is vetoed by the united states. on the first anniversary of the deadly christmas market attack in the country's justice minister. for the consequences. she. didn't know anything. is the official statement that she was missing. to the police that she was. on the. fifty million pounds in aid to yemen while boarding saudi arabia that its blockade of the country is a breach of humanitarian law. this is international and a very warm welcome to hear. the u.s. ambassador to the united nations has vetoed a draft resolution that had been drawn up to reject donald trump's decision to recognize jerusalem as israel's capital although expected it was the first time in six years that america uses a veto power at the u.n. security council but the u.s. stood alone without any support from its strongest allies those in favor of the draft resolution. please read. those against. fourteen foods in favor one vote against the studies of jerusalem as the future of two states should be determined through a negotiated settlement between the

assembly of the united states is the target. but the fact we got unanimous votes in the united nations suggests that the international community is moving in the direction of what the united states has been saying all along especially under president trump. that north korea has to be a denuclearized country it is so dangerous. it could be the site of nuclear proliferation throughout northeast asia. what it can do for united states now under the america first policy of the president is help reenforce the issues that america first and principled realism pillar of the president's policy suggests that sovereignty matters. respecting international norms and law matter as well. in that way the un plays a useful role >> my own take on this is more sanctions will not work the leader of north korea does not care about his people. but last question for you quick, the idea of a naval blockade to personality the importation of things needed in critical in north korea is a viable thing on the president's desk. >> i think it is being debated

the specter of communism doesn't work anymore the united states was not able to use that but there is this and haran carry over in fact and i'm sure that in the minds of those congressmen when they vote against it for the expansion of russians actions in their mind it's it's some form of the old russia and they can't get it they can't even tell you anyway in the eighty's in the ninety's how come it came back so strongly i mean what is going to take for that paradigm to disappear from american mind generation was quite surprised by that i was in fact shocked i talking to mr gorbachev was one of the most wonderful moments of my life it was i felt in one thousand nine hundred nine in my lifetime was a spring springtime of hope a new feeling that this thing was going to change you know that the the wall came down. all the year eastern european countries expressed love bloodless revolution really a bloodless revolution and russia. relatively both. and i was mr gorbachev you know was not the crook in america we saw him as a lion as a hero and in this country of course he was seen as a weak

the united states has used its veto on the united nations security council to block a resolution critical of its decision to recognize jerusalem as the capital of israel resolution was drafted by egypt. in the much lower court audio of the draft resolution stresses in its operational paragraphs that any attempt at changing or altering the character status or demographic composition of the holy city of jerusalem. and must be rescinded we have to object to such attempts in line with relevant security council resolutions the draft resolution calls upon all countries not to establish diplomatic missions in the holy city of jerusalem. mike hanna is at the united nations for so mike we heard a strong defense from the u.s. representative at the u.n. there of their decision to veto this talk us through the highlights of that. well the u.s. ambassador making very clear her belief that firstly the u.s. had a sovereign right to decide in which city it would place its capital in another state she argued to though that the un was consistently guilty of bias against israel stating that the united state

there's a 9-unit building to the west and 6-unit to the east. these images on the screen indicate the character of the vicinity. the site is within a 40 site. unlike rh1 and rh2, which does require lower heights and setbacks at upper stories, rm1 requires no upper story height reductions or setbacks. nonetheless, the building is sculpted and detailed to conform to the neighborhood character and address appellants' concerns. it has a large, code-complaint rear yard. the first floors are full floor and so is the second. third and fourth is not, to address light on lake street and appellant's house. the planning commission ordered even further revisions at appellant's request, including removal of roof deck and privacy including nonoperable frosted grass windows and privacy screen. with these modifications added, there is no impact on the privacy to the rear yard of appellant's home. this is the sensitively designed, small-scale development needed for the west side of town to do its part to address the housing crisis the planning commission saw tha

you can't produce in the united states profitably those like japan. they haven't done it in the last five years or since 2011 or 2012. not necessarily the attention to the content but with a mass of quantitative easing that dwarfs the quantitative easing in the united states during the great recession. so, i would argue that it was a good start and i complement the administration for making that a part of their trade agenda but they were addressing some of the biggest challenges that we have and as a consequence just like today, i think it would have been just as possible to become a source of irritation and friction in the relationship i think it would have been better to separate and move forward in the agreement. those that don't support free trade let's bring them on one at a time and deal with the issues that they are using to subvert global trade because it is indisputable that the global trade has been subverted with tactics like this in a manner that makes participants in the american economy the obvious question. i'm doing everything right, b

a bedrock tenet of the united states economy. free flow worldwide has always been a bipartisan goal and to that end i'm proud to serve as cochair of the global investment in america caucus as well as mr. holden, mr. himes and mr. manes. it promotes global investment in the united states economy and helps educate members about the importance of foreign direct investment. today the united states is the largest foreign investor and recipient of the greatest amount of foreign direct investment through the capital is provided a good deal of the energy that has kept her economy vibrant and compensated for the notoriously low national savings rate to provide the fuel for growth of u.s. businesses and jobs. on the site% of u.s. workers and jobs are related to foreign men. most of these jobs pay handsomely, far better than other u.s. job, but of foreign investment is to be a force for good, and must not be welcomed unthinkingly any more than one might be the front door of the house open around the clock. investment that my weakness is not

we give the united nations 22% of just their ga budget, general assembly budget. 22%. the next, the number two country is only 9%, that's japan and then goes down from there. so, shouldn't we get a little more bang for our buck? >> well, listen, the way i look at this, i sort of-- to get a full picture i view it sort of like a donald trump tax return. i'd like to see the whole budget before i make a judgment, but when you consider we're spending about a billion or so dollars on the united nations, and we're spending $800 billion, we're going to have a huge budget for defense, this is a drop in the bucket and when you talk about the trump riling up our allies and so forth, we might end up having to spend more, it's not that much to spend. david: john, the fact is we'd all like to look at the u.n. budget. part of the problem, it's such a corrupt agency. there are so many different channels in which the money can go, nobody has a clear idea of how much. clauda rosette, the smartest person in the u.n. i know of, says the total funding is 49 billion and look where some of t

eventually israel and presumably the united states too would come back having symbolized. their displeasure. is just a gesture one shouldn't read too much into it i mean while both gaza and the west bank have seen more clashes in a straight week in one rest in the region friday's demonstrations left two palestinians that more than sixty injured. palestinian policy has called for christmas celebrations to be canceled following days of rage instead going on rest in the region comes in the wake of us president from decision to recognize jerusalem as the capital of israel in the palestinian administered city of ramallah israeli soldiers were filmed pushing back paramedics who were trying to reach those injured troops used weapons and other forceful measures preventing emergency crews from reaching. on thursday the united nations general assembly voted overwhelmingly to condemn don't trump unilateral decision concerned that the dispute over the city status should only be resolved by talks only nine member states including the u.s. voted against the resolution even so the countr
