housing. let's support the jobs housing linkage fee. thank you. >> good afternoon. i am amanda representing the coalition on homelessness. we would like to voice support for updating the jobs housing lynx age fee -- linkage fee. it will ensure accountability to ending the housing crisis. we have the opportunity to generate $500 million over the next 10 years to allocate to constructing more affordable housing, preserving already affordable housing and building additional supportive housing. we urge you to stand up for housing justice in san francisco. thank you. >> next speaker, please. >> i am susan. i am a 20 year resident of san francisco and former nurse at san francisco general. i have been running a small business for 15 years. i work with the coalition. i am here in support of this legislation. i think it is a step in the right direction. i think it is an extremely modest fee. my only criticism, i think it should be three times what it is. yes, i definitely support it. what is happening

we can house everyone here. that is why we have to pass legislation like this, that will actually invest in the millions of dollars to build the units that we need. this is a common sense moderates, and effective measure to ensure that people are not evicted and the people in our community are not dying. thank you so much. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> hi. i am calling. i work for tenderloin neighborhood development -- and i lost my voice grade i'm just going to say that we support supervising -- supervisor haney's 2014.0926dnx. sorry. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> hi, i'm the community housing public policy and i work with former homeless people in support of. we provide a portal housing and help those residents residents achieve self-sufficiency. these update fees would generate $500 million towards 2,000 new units in ten years. 10% of those funds would go to the acquisition and preservation of existing affordable housing and 30% would go to building new supportive housing. homeless people wh

i want to welcome beth of these new members to the people house -- people's house. they're experienced legislators who have traveled long and sometimes unexpected paths to get here. and they both face special challenges. the ninth district has been without a house member for 257 days following evidence of election fraud in the 2018 election. the third district was represented by one of the most independent-minded and well-liked members of this institution, our friend, the late walter jones jr. madam speaker, our new members had hard-fought campaigns and the people of north carolina have spoken. on behalf of our entire delegation and this entire body, i want to welcome them to the house of representatives. it is now my pleasure to yield to the senior republican in our delegation, virginia foxx. ms. foxx: i want to thank congressman price for his very kind comments and associate myself with them. i want to welcome our new members and i want to thank all of the members here in advance for helping them feel welcome to this wonderful body and for helping them get adjuste

affordable housing. we share supervisor peskin's goal of wanting to house tenants who are displaced from these renovations. and our desire to really tackle displacement is a priority for us. through preferences as a tool, through preservation as a tool. something that does live outside of our scope of work is this temporary housing. we really strive to create and preserve housing so that residents can live in those units permanently. so i think what we would appreciate is just further discussion about how to implement this kind of program given the possibility that a household potentially may not want to relocation back to their original unit. many may, but some may not. and we would -- it would be a very difficult situation for us to be evicting a household who does not want to leave permanent affordable housing that is built for permanent occupancy. so that is something we would appreciate further discussion on. it is something that we don't currently do, and it lives outside of our scope of work. than

and hopefully create more housing and also protect existing houseing. >> for affordable housing, sure. and i think we need to distinguish between affordable housing and market-rate housing. market-rate housing is in san francisco today unaffordable to most working class people in this city. we need to look at the fact that as a city, we have built nearly double the goals for market-rate housing and not even half the goals for affordable housing. so i will be proudly the affordable housing supervisor, if i get into office. i believe that's what our city desperately needs right. i do not subscribe to the theory that building housing, that costs millions of dollars, will trickle down and benefit low-income and working class people. it hasn't worked in san francisco. it won't work. i will prioritize building affordable housing. thank you. >> thank you very much. [applause] ms. brown. could you hold your applause until we're all done. thank you. >> well, when you look at housing in district 5, we have created 430 units in ten years. now you tell me if that creates a housing crisis. 430 uni

charlie, we talked about the house. democrats control the house. if democrats were to stay united, they would have the votes to impeach the president in the house. that would kick things over to the senate. you need a two-thirds super majority there. the senate would conduct the trial. the senate run by republicans, run by mitch mcconnell. interestingly you say in your article, i'd like you to explain this, the senate it's not clear would have to conduct a trial? >> well, clearly the writers of the constitution envisioned that the next step would be the senate would conduct a trial, but there's no ednforcement mechanism. it raises the question of what happened if mitch mcconnell garlands this. remember in 2016, he refused to even hold a hearing or a vote on president trump's judicial supreme court nominee, merrick garland. what if he does that here or what they simply gavel the thing closed without hearing any evidence right away? it could be done. it's not clear what would stop it if they had the will, the power to do that without holding a real t

housing authorities, the latin united housing association. innovations, the ecurities industries legislation. colleagues, let's seize the rare opportunity to advance straightforward lifesaving that's already won bipartisan support in this house. in our housing acilities with a simple, inexpensive solution is not a partisan issue. what our ly constituents sent us here to do, work together to find solutions the american people. i urge you to support h.r. 1690, the c.o. alerts act, and i yield to the balance of my time the gentleman from guam, mr. san nicolas. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from guam reserves. receive a ill message. the messenger: mr. speaker, a message from the president of the united states. the secretary: mr. speaker. the speaker pro tempore: madam speaker. mr. speaker.: the speaker pro tempore: madam secretary. the secretary: i am directed by the president of the united states to deliver to the house in epresentatives a message writing. the speaker pro tempore: the ohio is from recognized. r. stivers: thank you, mr.

that's the defense of the white house. their view is they will have to respond to matters of impeachment from capitol hill but not trying to take a hunkered down approach but more on offense, if you will, semantics can matter in those ways. that's part of what we're hearing from people we've been talking to. >> do you know what rapid is and what might not be rapid? have responses so far in the context of the years you've been reporting been fast or slower? this is hard to say because we're facing an impeachment inquiry which is very unique. >> we looked to what the president said. he thought the impeachment issue was over. it was unlikely to move forward and nancy pe lolosi had been signaling that as well. the events of the whistle-blower complaint and ukraine call have happened very rapidly. it's only been fewer than two weeks that this has been publicly known and we're now in a very different posture where more than 225 democrats on capitol hill are for an impeachment inquiry. that's a different situation and it's happen

that is the business of the executive branch of the white house and the office of the white house. >> corruption is not the business, or it shouldn't be, of the white house or anyone in it. >> the white house decides to do with their privileged communication is the business of the white house. >> do you believe that's true even if that communication involves crime or fraud? i'm sure you're aware that there is an exception to any claim of privilege. the privilege can't be used to conceal crime or fraud? >> this is before any crime or fraud that should be referred to the justice department for investigation. as i did. >> the whistleblower further alleges that white house officials told the whistleblower they were directed by white house lawyers to remove the electronic transcript, that is, of the call from the computer system in which such transcripts are typically stored. and instead it was loaded into a separate electronic system that is otherwise used to store and handle classified information of an especially sensitive nature. one white house official described this act as an abuse

now adequate housing may be a human right but cheap housing isn't at least that's one standard argument property developer christoph is of the view that having invested in berlin means he's entitled to reap the rewards and that he then has every right to reinvest these had rewards in building as many luxury apartments in the city as he can but as ordinary berliners are priced out of the property market should grow not be allowed to keep doing that our reporter christian press save us how to few questions for him. it's late but christophe groaners just calling it a day on this prelim building site the real estate tycoon is always busy but he's found time for a brief interview groaner is one of the richest men in germany and he didn't inherit his money he made it to himself his company is turning this high rise office building into luxury apartments. do you think gentrification is going to change berlin a lot it intervenes here. i think palin will retain its identity there's no law that says we have a right to live in beautiful old apartments with stucco on the ceiling for a mere 6 euros

well 1st of all there are no income government provided no income houses but even this no income housing bust still very far reaching for an army of people and there are definitely policies in place on paper but the implementation of them is where we have a problem for example in lagos law lords are free to charge what ever amounts they wish to charge for their houses and nobody is going to call them to account for it because there are no regulations to guide how much it particular apartment or house should should go for so right it we're not really seen much of government intervention in that area it appears as though the government does not yet recognize the urgency of the situation. in lagos for us thank you. it's too zimbabwe's capital harare away officials shut the city's main water treatment plant because they have no foreign currency to import chemicals needed to clean the water now that has moved millions of the city's residents facing dry taps and that's not the worst thing it's feared people will now result of water from and protect the sources which could lead to the outbreak

democrats' battle to take back the white house? we want to welcome our viewers in the united states and around the world. i am wolf blitzer. you're in "the situation room." >>> we are following major breaking news. house democrats drop the hammer, launching a formal impeachment inquiry as the outrage over the president's ukraine phone call reaches critical mass. nancy pelosi making the announcement awhile ago, accusing president trump of betraying the nation by asking ukraine to help them hurt his potential 2020 opponent, joe biden. tonight, the president is firing back in familiar fashion, calling the impeachment probe a witch hunt. he failed trying to calm the controversy by releasing transcripts of a phone call tomorrow. all this as the person behind the whistleblower complaint that set the scandal in motion wants to speak directly with congress. the house intelligence committee chairman says that could happen as soon as this week. our correspondents, analysts, guests are standing biy as we cover this breaking story. let's go to

lead to him being impeached by the house. you stop at the water's edge. >> i am hopeful we see moments of conviction and calling of country from senators like mitt romney. i know he has disappointed some in the way he has chosen to take on trump. he has taken on trump. but i would suggest, those of you who have followed me, and i am no party affiliate. andut you were a republican you have left your republican party? >> yeah, and you know, one of the areas i get in trouble with is when i give advice to the democratic speaker of the house. >> she's not here yet, go ahead. >> listen, i have had more urgency around the topic of impeachment than what i have seen from democratic leaders in the house. when the mueller report hit, i thought the opportunity to move was right then, but i commend her and house democrats for moving last week for saying we are finally going to go down this road. one thing i do think it's critical, i think there is ample evidence right now for three very clear plain articles of impeachment. one, the presid

you remember when mike served in the house. a lot of you were not there when he served in the house. kevin and i were. during that time, he served in a lot of different roles. i am proud to share that we were both former chairman of the republican study committee, a role that mike had from 2006 until 2008. it was after that that i really got to see and know the mike pence that we know today as the vice president of the united states. and that is when he served as our conference chair. during those first two years of barack obama's presidency -- a tough time for the country -- but a time when republicans really have to figure out how to fight to preserve the things that we believe in while you have a president trying to take our country in a different direction. it was during those two years that you saw mike pence shine on a national stage, where so many more people around the country got to see the mike pence that we knew in the house of representatives, as a conservative battler for the principles we believe in, but he was a

the house intelligence committee. what will he say about the whistle-blower complaint that is minutes away from going public. we'll discuss it next. if you're 65 or older, even if you're healthy, you may be at increased risk for pneumococcal pneumonia - a potentially serious bacterial lung disease that can disrupt your life for weeks. in severe cases, pneumococcal pneumonia can put you in the hospital. it can hit quickly, without warning, making you miss out on what matters most. just one dose of the prevnar 13® vaccine can help protect you from pneumococcal pneumonia. it's not a yearly shot. prevnar 13® is approved for adults to help prevent infections from 13 strains of the bacteria that cause pneumococcal pneumonia. don't get prevnar 13® if you have had a severe allergic reaction to the vaccine or its ingredients. adults with weakened immune systems may have a lower response to the vaccine. the most common side effects were pain, redness and swelling at the injection site, limited arm movement, fatigue, headache

the house is right, mr. speaker, to commend each and every one of them for the courage that they took. mr. speaker, i have no doubt whatsoever that it is not just the people of broxton, but the people of this country who are thoroughly fed up. that is why i've got the very firm view that the matter of brexit must be brought to a conclusion. there are people in this place who will know in the many cross party conversations we have had -- and i am proud that we have ,orked together across parties putting aside our normal difference in the country's interest -- but my view is any extension should not go on until january, maybe february of next year. there is a profound need that we must bring this to a conclusion. that is one of the reasons why way, one moment. i don't believe a general election is the answer at all because it will not solve the brexit crisis. >> the second part of the bill she just approved actually handed power to the e.u. to dictate whatever extension they wanted. >> i am so sorry to tell th

it is about housing. the costs of housing are too high. we know these challenges did not develop overnight. it won't be fixed overnight. it is going to take fundamental change. let's start increasing funding for affordable housing. i am proud to be working with so many members of the board of supervisors to place a $6 million affordable housing bond on this year's -- $600 million affordable housing. thank you, president yee, for working with me on this. it will be on this year's ballot. this is the largest affordable housing bond in the city's history without raising property taxes. [applause.] we are providing support not just for low income households and seniors but also for middle income residents. we are increasing investments in the budget to add over $140 million for the production and preservation of affordable housing so we can buy moreland, fully fund more projects and preserve our much greater rent control housing stock. [applause.] all land through this bond our current budget, our previous spending and other efforts over the f

if you have more evidence cominr fo in this impeachment on the house, if you have a vote on the house floor to actually impectua the president and it kicks over to the senatd it co be a very different calculus. the democrats do not need all the senators to vote to convi the president. they only need -- it's two-thirds majority of the ch'sber. and the world in which could actually happen. >> and trump has always been deep t mistrustful ofse people. a lot of people privately don't like the president. there are these s mainy establishment republicans who the president has made life very difficult. so i agree i don't think it's likely but i just don't think it's guaranteed that he'll be fine. >> and part of the thing thaty en these cracks wider,s public opinion. for w, a new pbs newshour poll shs americans are still divided on this start of an impeachment inquiry. 49% of adults surveye nationally approve. 46%isapprove. the divide is more srk when broken down a lng partyes. 88% of democrats approve. senator ernst of iowa, coreye. gardner of colorado, all up for re-election in 2020. when yo

some of them were sent to the house democrats. instead you're seeing rudy giuliani out there trying to muddle the narrative on cable television. you're of course seeing the president's tweets and on the attack as peter said. it's a real anger here. he's seething at the process. you're seeing some coordination with the campaign to get the message out. they're short staffed and they're flailing. >> is there concern that those in the white house that may have spoken to the whistle-blower will be called before congress? is there talk about trying to stop them from testifying? do they know who these people are? is there an effort to root them out even? >> yeah. i think there's a lot of nervousness right now among people who work in the white house, the national security council who have left it recently. a lot of people realize they're going to start to have to pay lawyers and get ready for what amounts to a pretty extraordinary set of legal actions, whether they can be compelled to testify or not. the president no doubt has the, you k

a majority of house members now back the impeachment inquiry formally launched this week by house speaker nancy pelosi. if the house does vote to impeach this would put this president in the category shared only by andrew johnson and bill clinton. richard nixon resigned before the full house could vote on impeachment back in 1974. just 15 days ago the nation learned of a whistle-blower's c complaint. that nine-page memo now has the potential to threat then presidency in the 448-page mueller report did not. we're learning this weekend who urged the white house to let the public see the transcript of that phone call between president trump and the president of ukraine, and a source now telling cnn that urging came from the top republican in the senate, mitch mcconnell. why would he do that when the political impact is potentially so damaging. also, white house officials tried to keep details of the president's calls with otherd l. calls with the crown prince of saudi arabia and russia's vladimir putin and at least one member of the trump administration has quit his job over the whistle-blow

for middle-income housing. and you can see in this table from the three issuances how that breaks down to the totals. the first bond issuances over 99% spent or incumbered and the second is over 64% spent or incumbered. both of those issuances will be fully expended by late 2020t. as a reminder unlike other geobonds, the city is not directly building any housing with this money. wrather we're making loans to individual homeowners. an update on our accomplishments so far from the first and second issuances, in the public housing category, construction is complete at block x. the building is now occupied. sunnidale parcel two is currently undergoing construction, expected to be completed in may of 2020. and we're working on infrastructure design for supporting 390 units at patrero and sunnidale. in the low-income housing category, construction is going on currently at 1296 shotwell, 88 broadway and 1990 fullsome. in the small sites program, which was one of the categories of spending in the low-income housing cat

send us your suggestions kpix housing@cbs.com. the three bay area mayors would agree one of the contributing factors and the lack of building is the federal divestment in constructing affordable housing. >>> a study released by the white house today found this. if housing markets were deregulated over all homelessness in san francisco would fall by as much as 54%. today housing and urban development secretary and carson visited los ways to addr the states homeless crisis. there are reports he will also visit the bay area tomorrow. >>> still ahead tonight. >>> the president is coming to the bay area that is still a mystery. >>> my son who is in second grade depends on that lunch. >>> is school lunch letdown. five and six-year-olds left waiting for food while those school district said it happened. >>> a bay area high school band cell phones at the beginning of the school year. we ask is the policy actually working.>>> for the first time in more than four months. rain total in the bay area. a couple more showers in the forecast. we

i hope that the house does its job. i think the republicans are in a tough spot in the senate and a well and meticulously researched and proven case could be a very different thing than the partisanship you see right now. >> i know one of the things you had to protect against is witness tampering. we just heard what was said about the whistleblower today. the whistleblower did the right thing. let's listen to what donald trump said about the whistleblower today. >> i want to know, who is the person that gave the whistleblower, who is the person who gave the whistleblower information? that's close to a spy. you know what we used to do in the old days when we were smart, right? spies and treason. we used to handle it a little differently than we do now. >> so the penalty for treason is death. >> hanging or a firing squad. >> it seems the president knows that much of the law anyway. what do you make of comments like that? the people who helped the whistleblower with the information the whistleblower delivered, and we know

this is emergency transitional housing, permanent housing and community-based health and communication services. in los angeles, homes for families utilize a path to his neighborhood model to support veterans and surrounding areas. this combines affordable housing and specialized mortgage programs, common gardens and other community space. and services such as trauma, informed care, arts classes, child development and financial education. when we think of veterans, what comes to mind is resilience. facing the daunting task of fitting into a world that has changed. and might even seem foreign. resilience defined by webster states and ability to recover from or the strictness of fortune for change. one use of the word i like is what -- wrote regarding resilience. there is a quality of resilience. refusal to acknowledge defeat. aids in the affairs of the heart is in a sterner and more practical kind. veterans are resilient. in 2018, we commissioned a photographer to create the photograph of resilience. it is a 30 inch display that shines the light on the perseverance and dynamic story of

to the house is thatitis lady and more widely to the house is that it is incredibly important... that we are sensitive to the wider implications and interpretation of what we say. and the mores of society do change and sometimes one can find that things one has said in the past without causing offence can no longer be said without causing offe nce. no longer be said without causing offence. but each member must make his or her own judgment. offence. but each member must make his or her ownjudgment. the attorney has made his and said what he has said and i thank him for that. i apologise for not giving advance notice for this. it is advice i think is very relevant to this debate. we have heard much of how the supreme court has extended its remit into the actions of the executive, and how that may play out into the future. i wondered if you could give advice, perhaps to your successor, whether the actions and decisions of the speaker of this house should be similarly subject to judicial review and how that may work in the future. i am extraordinarily grateful, but as an attempted p

the house is on recess. members are back in their districts taking the temperatures of their constituents and may find what is reflected in this polling, that more and more americans want to go there. this is a white house that now feels under siege. he's tweeting supporters talking about civil war, demanding to meet the whistle-blower and whoever supplied the whistle-blower with information because he feels like he should be able to meet his accusers. he feels that there's a sense there and no formal war room, not yet. to this point the white house response has been to dispatch senior aides to tv shows. we saw steven miller and rudy giuliani over the weekend and relying on the president's own tweets. there is a sense they're simply not ready for what's coming. >> we saw this weekend dismal performances by members of the president's team. if that's any indication of how prepared they are for impeachment, the president's in trouble. you have the minority leader of the house of representatives not even knowing

the white house also needs to be concerned. the president has been paranoid about the intelligence committee and this is going to play into that. that should be concerning to all of us if the president doesn't think he can trust the intelligence community. what should keep the white house up at night are the 18 or so republicans night how who aren't up for reelection and don't particularly care for them and they may give the democrats the legitimacy to moved forward to probe this stuff. >> do you see the possibility of republicans breaking away? we haven't seen that. >> not yet. but give this some time. the democrats aren't in formal impeachment now. the problem for the white house is the whistle-blower clearly has names of people who can be subpoenaed and documents that can be requested. he's provided essentially a path to impeachment. i talked to a republican senator who said the worst part about this is that the democrats now are able to focus their probe on a limited number of people and documents they want to begin to buil

when i was at the white house, i know rudy guiliani is not an official member of the white house, when i was at the white house, anytime someone as close to the president as rudy guiliani is was going to be attending any event in any country under any circumstances, there were people there that did their due diligence, making sure they understood everything necessary to understand everything about the conference, who was sponsoring it, who would be there, whether it is appropriate. this tells me despite the fact that rudy guiliani has irregular access to leader of the free world, the most important person in all of government, no one is vetting things he is doing, checking his decisions to make sure they're the right thing to do for the country and the president. so i hope that he is right, i hope that he is not attending by end of the day, it would be a huge mistake. >> probably getting criticism for suggesting he would be attending if texting with him. ask if he has security clearance. i am curious. we have more on breaking news. we'll get to that after this. okay, paint a picture fo

is that a top priority for leadership, republicans and democrats in the house and senate? >> that trump administration wanted it voted in done in the summer. that did not happen. were exchanging some kind of negotiations. it did not go quite as expected, it was much slower than it had been hoped. there are four main issues, labor, environment, enforcement divisions and drug patent protection. those are outstanding and richard neal told house democrats that he is waiting to lighthizer, the u.s. trade representative come back with full written counterproposals for the democratic demand. that may be delivered in the coming day by lighthizer who is scheduled to meet with the house working group on trade. that could accelerate the time for a vote this fall. and a member of that house working group told reporters in connecticut that it could seep into next year. >> in terms of senate and house floor action when they come back, the senate will resume deliberations on nominations, expecting to work on bills of banning the offshore drilling of oil and gas. what else are you looking

i mentioned the white house notes today that were released by the white house. notes from the president's call with the president of ukraine. i mean, it's right there in black and white that president trump in fact did what democrats are accusing him of doing and why they have brought impeachment proceedings against him. in the notes released by the white house, the president overtly does ask ukraine for help digging up dirt against president trump's potential 2020 democratic rival, joe biden. "there's a lot of talk about biden's son. that biden stopped the prosecution and a lot of people want to find out about that, so whatever you can do with the attorney general, meaning with bill barr, that would be great." at this point i feel like i need to apologize. i hereby apologize. last night on this show i said somewhat cavalierly that while we were expecting the white house to release notes of this phone call today, there was no reason to expect that the trump white house would allow for the release of any notes from this call that implicated the president and the

that housing is health. and we have a history now of working together with -- across agencies. and i'm going to let dara go ahead and talk to you more about the one-time housing funds. >> good morning, supervisors, thank you. i'm the care coordination manager with the department of homelessness and supportive housing. as we discussed the governor's budget, one time with multi-year spending authority from january 1, 2020, through june 30th, 2025, san francisco can receive an amount not to exceed $1.8 million. while the whole-care department has been a collaboration, doing a lot of work around services, it did not previously have funds for housing. this provides funds for housing in san francisco. the funding will support the cost of long-term and short-term housing, such as rental subsidies. it could also support capital investments given the priorities that san francisco has set for housing. the plan would be to use it for housing subsidies and not for capital investments. it could also be used for hotel vou

the house. what undermines his negotiation position is that those watching from europe cannot see how the prime minister is going to deliver a majority in this house, for concessions that he will get. can he update the house on the moves he has taken to build consensus?” can, and! he has taken to build consensus?” can, and i think she asks inexorably important question. because i do think come in all intellectual honesty, that members opposite who voted for the surrender act, should voted for the surrender act, should vote for the deal we produce. and i would like to hearfrom vote for the deal we produce. and i would like to hear from them vote for the deal we produce. and i would like to hearfrom them if vote for the deal we produce. and i would like to hear from them if they will, mr speaker. we will, i'm very confident, make good progress towards a deal and i hope it will command their support. earlier today, the attorney general did not just say that he would respect the supreme court's

on both their houses. if obama would have done any small percentage of this, republicans as well as democrats would have been moving for impeachment a long time ago. the one thing i will say is trump was trying to do something as far as immigration to try to help the lower middle class and -- it ise class people unfortunate this man is so criminal that he cannot even finish a term without being corrupt. host: that is tracy in texas. more reaction from capitol hill yesterday, including from house republicans, including doug collins. viewers will know him as the ranking member on the house judiciary committee. here are his thoughts on the move towards impeachment. [video clip] >> we are seeing a continuation of complete and utter disrespect for this house. jumping to conclusions. it is amazing that what we are seeing coming out of this is taking hearsay, stuff you have not read and say it will be impeachment inquiry. i have news to the speaker, she is not doing impeachment inquiry. it is just another decisio

project home. >> affordable housing is paramount to solving the housing crisis. one developer is using public money. >> it sounds like a good thing. it is actually leading to higher rent. >> these were posted to my door. >> reporter: she has lived at these apartments for eight years . she is moving because an affordable housing developer has made this place unaffordable . her rent is going up. she will have to move which means less time with her grandkids. >> watching my little ones grow up, it is hard. it is an inconvenience that i have to move. >> reporter: in february the affordable housing developer purchase her apartment complex is part of a seven property package deal for $116 million. the plan is to turn each building into 100% affordable housing and use public bond money and tax credits to convert each complex. but it came at a cost. mass displacement of nearly all existing tenants. >> it seems like the exact opposite of what an affordable housing program should be doing . >> reporter: she is a staff attorney with the national housing law project who spec

to the opera house the house of lords where it will be. looked at with amendments again however this is a major win for those m.p.'s who have been fighting against the idea of the e.u. of the u.k. sorry leaving the e.u. without a deal now that will not happen the m.p.'s have back to the idea of a break that delay a bill could mean a delay up until january the 31st i believe it is of 2020 so. another long delay there john both have a speaker has been officiating over the. proceedings today the breaking news the number sets a majority of 28 and this is broadly the same majority we've seen we saw a majority of 27 yesterday i believe 29 in one of the earlier votes and now 27 let's hear from prime minister parsed johnson passed a bill devised by the leader of the opposition i see is not in his place. but i and i and and his driver he says he's characteristically if they see it if not for it mr speaker it's a bill that effectively ends the negotiations a bill that demands an extension at least until next year and perhaps for many more years to c

let's start with the house and a tweet of yours saying house leaders are readying a continuing resolution likely due november 21 that would prevent president trump from holding up aid to ukraine, freeze president trump's really payments to farmers and rejecting white house request for flexibility on border fencing. two things -- why do they need a continuing resolution, and what is so special about this date, november 21, other than being a week before thanksgiving? caitlin: if you are at all familiar with congress, you probably are familiar with the fact that they like to put these spending bill deadlines up against a holiday to sort of action, force some urgency. putting it upright against thinks giving, hypothetically everybody wants to go home, everybody wants to get this done, so that is the scenario lawmakers are hoping for. you never know what is going to happen. there could be another short-term spending fix until christmas. notk on wood that does happen. it is always a very real possibility, but like you said, house lawmakers are circulating a draft, continuing resolution this we

let's start with the house and a tweet of yours saying house leaders are readying a continuing resolution through the 21st that would prevent president trump from holding up presidentreeze trump's trade relief and -- flexibility on border fencing. why do they need a continuing resolution on what is so special about this date other than being the weekend before thanksgiving? >> if you are from other with congress at all, you're probably familiar with the fact they like to put spending bill deadlines up against the holidays to force some action and urgency. if we are putting up against thanksgiving, hypothetically, everyone wants to go home to and everyone wants to get this done. that is the scenario lawmakers are hoping for. you never know what will happen here knock on look at the -- knock on wood that it does not happen. but like you said, house lawmakers are circulating a draft, a continuing resolution that would extend current funding levels likely through november point first. that is something we could see as early as next week. it is possible the committee could meet tonight, a vote

the house has approved the report. that's a chance for the government to say, what are we going to do next? it is something we can point to with the european union. remember last time, use the time well. it's important that we show we are not just saying, we will want a further extension to twiddle our thumbs. it's a process that is being suggested here in the bill. if the report is amended or rejected, there must be further reports from the government. every 28 days thereafter until an agreement is reached or implicated by resolution of the house. the framework that is in the bill will help answer the question about what we intend to do with the additional time. that will be a matter for parliament. i will give way. >> one of the things we want to do during that time is try to find a solution to the irish question. commission task force is reporting that the pm is reneging on his commitment to protect the island economy and meaningful north-south cooperation. clearly, the time should be used to ensure there is decent

in those circumstances, the house could decide. furthermore, if a deal is reached after the prime minister has asked for an extension, then it would override an extension . so it also allows him, if he can, to reach a deal after the european council concludes on the 18th of october. in other words, the bill gives the prime minister the flexibility that he wants and needs to get a deal if he can. what it does not render is -- it does not render further negotiation pointless. it seems to me is if the prime minister refuses to put together any proposals, which is an odd state of affairs. of course, i will give way. clause 32 is very clear that the period of two days begins with the end of the day of the day on which the european council decision is made. we were told very clearly during proceedings on the change of date after the two previous occasions that the government accepted an extension that we were merely implementing a decision that was already made in european community law. what his proposal depends upon is the european uni

this house used to be a house of the people. now it's a house of what? what have you done in two years? nothing. now you are trying to undo what as done legitimately, 40 years, i understand it. you got the votes. i understand that. 8 -- it's not going to become law. i hope you understand that. we are going to have a sale. i hope you understand that. and my people that i represent will get their just due. i know that. it with that i yield. the chair: the gentleman from alaska yields. mr. huffman: mr. speaker, i'm prepared to close. the chair: the gentleman is recognized. mr. huffman: mr. speaker, as i said this amendment is a delay tactic to ensure that the current administration will lock in a lease sale before protections can go into place or before they are finally run out of office. it does not require consultation with the gwich'in people, many of whom are here today. these are the folks who consider the coastal plains sacred. they have relied on the porcupine caribou herd since time and memorial for their cultural, spiritual, and physical sustenance

house in crisis. i'm jake tapper and the biggest development today top democrats in the house earlier today laying out their plans to when and how they will move forward with the impeach inquiry into president trump. house intelligence committee chairman adam chef tells cnn he's preparing to move as expeditiously as possible and his committee is preparing for hearings as soon as next week. the house goes on recess two weeks but members of the house intelligence committee leading the impeach investigation have been told to be prepared to return to washington, d.c. sources are also detailing how quickly democrats hope to potentially finish this process. potentially impeaching president trump by thanksgiving of this year. the other seismic development in washington, the white house acknowledging yet another key part of the whistle-blower complaint about president trump is true. white house officials admitting they did move records of president trump's call with the president of ukraine to a highly secure
