i have made a commit about geneva car barn and keeping the money for the geneva car barn is as well. we have staffing in place now help with the campaign. it's a great amount of money to raise for that. what we have in place is already here and makes so much sense that we keep the reserve there for the car barn pending further plan. i would like to keep it in budget committee reserve. when it comes to possible ordinance that waves the requirements, i think in this case that we have a designer that's done a lot of work in the car barn and that current designer and continuity, that project makes a lot of sense to me. i'm willing to support and get my colleagues to support to get that kind of waiver as well. >> thank you, supervisor avalos. colleagues, any questions. okay. at this time we'll open up to public comment. is there anybody from the public that wish to comment on items 3 or 4? please come up and step you the to the microphone. >> good afternoon, my name is tim worth and i'm the new executive director of the car barn. i appreciate you taking this up and i want to acknowledge a

the second round of geneva peace talks was initially scheduled for july of this yet. however it was postponed several times the main challenger has been guessing that different groups involved in this there when civil war and respected international supporters to reach common ground. brush on the us on the two main sponsors of the peace conference but they force as support opposing sides of the civil conflict that in a sieve or a searing government of president bush al assad and rebel movements. while the us and rochelle wilson to find it on bass and syria chemical weapons issued to two countries would eventually able to negotiate a peaceful disarmament compromise. for more on ge on the meeting on friday leh still talk respondents knew she was falling to geneva to talks very pleasant hello to seeing what does this am prepping me saying i hope to achieve. well this is the sister prepared she needs me in the about six months time to prepare for the second international conference on syria known as the geneva to know this geneva to is basically a peace negotiations betwe

communique produced at the first geneva conference. so i really hope that our western partners and our partners in the region which have more influence on the opposition than anybody else will make sure firstly that the opposition is properly represented at this conference and secondly that the opposition advance the conference without any preconditions which is the very point of the russian american initiative is that the people of syria should agree on how to implement the principles captured in the geneva communiqué june the thirtieth twenty thirteen without any external intervention or any preconditions. but so far unfortunately we don't know what their regimes opponents who have recently formed the national coalition will do. we are alarmed by the fact that the national coalition does not seem to have complete unity and we are also larm by the fact that the national coalition keeps saying that this conference must result in a regime change or their regime changes their perec was it for having a conference this is something we hav

we're morry by the activities of such spoilers with the geneva two conference in the offing. and the opposition makes demands about regime change or. declaring in advance that the regime will be changed after this conference is taking care of the humanitarian situation first and the opposition claims it will not take part in the geneva conference on less the humanitarian crisis is resolved but actually the biggest reason for this community here in this crisis is the those terrorist groups groups that many countries have. officially recognized as terrorists so goes not to fight the symptoms so our goal is to fight the root cause of the crisis and the root cause of the crisis. is as follows. if the terrorist threat in series incredible and the government should. meet with the opposition. yes and work out the basic parameters of their future state like i mentioned and also we should remember that at the g eight summit in lokeren. all the leaders so the g eight countries urged both the government and the opposition to join their forces in fighting terrorism to overcome terrorism

political reality on the ground right now assad is in his people said that they're willing to go to geneva who is he going to talk to because again these western backed people that were there for two years just seem to have dissipated going away is the islamic front calling they've got to go and sit down i mean who is assad going to talk to if he does show up i mean i think it's unclear exactly who is going to talk to who in geneva two but one thing is clear you know that it is true that assad is now gaining the upper hand but it's not clear how assad is going to end his own stalemate you know at the end of the day most of the people in the country don't want him there the rebel strong strong parts of the area large parts of the area of syria are now controlled by rebels and so at the end of the day he's hemmed in and he has to find a solution some form of solution to stay within power and other people not only within the region but outside of saying to him that unless you leave this is never going to end so i think that's the key issue here and frankly everyone every syrian who can i mean

right now i can't spend those funds on anything but the geneva car barn. that constraint is there, if you want to be able to have a broader conversation about other potential projects and have us report back to you and have the board weigh in on that conversation, then it's the most appropriate tool. >> i was wondering by making the appropriation and deappropriation for the money that made it available for a wider range of products used within the the geneva car barn. we'll just delete the appropriation. we'll keep the source. >> okay. >> quick question for you. if we do that, the proposed deappropriation, what bond is that from. is that a bond we are going to run into time limits from use of those funds? >> yes, supervisor, it's a good question, this is 2000 bond funds. the funds are already 13 years old. there is not a calendar on when arbitrage fees are assessed but just as an example 2 years 2 years ago we had measures from the bond and it was decided on and we were ready to go and we got a letter that said in 14 days we needed to pay that money in ful

had quarters in geneva and said nothing walking in the building. we know the plan, the plan was that they are supposed to bring the u.n. and arab league special representative brahimi a list of names and russians are supposed to get from the syrian government a list of nine names to be the syrian government for talks on the 22 of january and the americans have to get nine names from the opposition, the problem as you mentioned of course is there are a whole sways of opposition that are not in support of the geneva process. many of those fighting on the battlefield in syria aren't really represented by the political opposition who are likely to come to talks and that are scheduled as i say on the 22nd of january. this meeting in the coming hours will be important because some are already telling me behind the scenes there is a possibility that date of the 22 of january could slip. they are talking about the peace conference and getting both sides together since may and have not made it happen. >> reporter: pressure to get nine people on either side,

or if you don't go to geneva at least don't announce those opposition people who go just keep quiet let's see whether the syrian government itself undermines geneva i think that's the message the americans will be giving moscow is against establishing any kind of dialogue with extremists is that a position that's realistic now with with radicals becoming more and more increasingly powerful and forming such groups like the islamic. well i mean if you're going to have negotiations. you're trying to achieve a political end to the war and even a ceasefire or the other way around a cease fire and then a political resolution of the war and that obviously means the five people have to be brought into it there's no point in talking just to the political people if the fire. agreement is something we can support so you have to go by the diplomatic bullet we're going to talk to the armed opposition and we're yet to see whether the government people are willing to do that. it's really important that both sides now recognize that there should be a political settlement and that means talking to t

i have expressed my concerns since before geneva that the sanctions would begin to unravel. i heard today that iran's president said the economy has markedly improved. they have not even put in place -- steps must be taken to repent for the erosion of the sanction. ultimately, the sanctions remain an essential element of the international effort to compel iran to dispel its nuclear the terror infrastructure and take apart all of the centrifuges and tear down the heavy water reactors and eliminate the current stockpile of enriched on weapond working radiation -- weapons that geneva does not address. none of it is necessary for a peaceful nuclear program. while israel is prepared to do what is necessary to defend itself, we share president obama's preface to see iran's endlear weapons program through diplomacy. for diplomacy to succeed, it must be coupled with powerful sanctions and a credible military threat. -- ae repeat that diplomatic solution is better than a military option, but a military option is necessary for diplomacy to succeed, as are powerful sanctions. we agree

we see geneva as an attempt derail the revolution. the regime is not going to hand over power, so why would we go? >> if they agree on anything during those talks would you abide by that? >> translator: anything that comes out of geneva is binding only on the three national coalitions, we're continuing our revolution to achieve our rights god willing. >> world leaders are in switzerland and trying to hammer out the program. james bayes is joining us live to tell us what the update is before the conference on the 22nd of january. >> well, that's when the conference is supposed to take place, and this is supposed to be the last preparatory meeting before that conference. but it is worth remembering this idea of bringing both sides around the table in geneva first came up in may. it is an idea from the russians and americans. john kerry and the russian foreign minister agreed on the date, but they have never managed to agree on the agenda or who was going to be in the delegations. what happened about a month ago was they set a date to fo

james bayes live right now in geneva. james is everything ready ahead of next month's planned peace conference? >> well i don't think things are quite where they wanted them to be. still there is that debate over whether iran will be there. the ambassador you heard just then would like the iranians there. he wants everyone who has an involvement in syria to be there. they hoped to have a list of the two delegations they were going to have negotiating with each other. thement ambassador is telling us the syrian government have come up with their delegation. they haven't yet, though, passed the names on to the united nations. on the opposition side it's much more complicated he said he had the date of the 27th of december for the opposition to come up with a list of names. he said that was a suggested date, not an ultimatum. he said they are probably not going to make it. when i asked who would be in the delegation, he said he accepted it would not be fully representative, but he said this was just the beginning of a proces

coming back from geneva, we learned, some of us long before, secret talks america had with iran and we know the concern you have on the israeli security, we're very grateful, but how does it thank you. >> you know, the truth is, is that without going into details there weren't a lot of secret negotiations. essentially what happened, and we were very clear and tra transparent about this is that from the time i took office i said we would reach out to iran and we will let them know we're prepared to open up a diplomatic channel. after an iranian was elected there was some acceleration leading up to the u.n. general assembly. you recall that he was engaging in what was termed charm offensive. he was going around talking to folks. and at that point, it made sense for us to see, all right, how serious are you potentially about having these conversations. they did not get highly substantive in first several meetings but were much more exploring how much room, in fact, did they have to get something done. and then as soon as they began to get more technical at that point they converged with t

how do we prevent those who work with us in geneva, who have already descended on tehran looking for deals, to cause the seven to become 70? because we can control what we do, but what is the extent that we can control the others? >> well, haim, this is precisely why the timing of this was right. one of the things we were always concerned about was that if we did not show good faith in trying to resolve this issue diplomatically, then the sanctions regime would begin to fray. keep in mind that this was two years of extraordinary diplomatic work on behalf of our team to actually get the sanctions in place. they're not just the unilateral sanctions that are created by the united states. these are sanctions that are also participated in by russia, by china, and some allies of ours like south korea and japan that find these sanctions very costly. but that's precisely why they've become so effective. and so what we've said is that we do not loosen any of the core sanctions -- we provide a small window through which they can access some revenue, but we can control it and it is reversible.

avenue and this has been my family's home next to the property on e geneva. today i request that you protest the issuance of christ for installing of a half bath. and i had no option to voice my concerns prior to the building permit. i felt like filing an appeal was the only opportunity i had to voice my concerns about the project. i have something to put in the overhead. face up -- right. there it is. okay. i know it's small and a pol -- apologize. it states that a light well is different from another location that 3 light well is required. and this is the copy of the zoning administration. i will put in a picture that was given to me by mr. christ as part of his presence. and his light well is clearly visible to off-site locations, and why i feel that this has been done. to give you history, mr. christ contacted me by telephone on september 20 and asked me to meet him on the following day. on saturday he said that his contractor said to discuss with me as a courtesy and mr. christ gave me the project and stated that he had to have permits to do this work. h

that's why geneva was such a big victory for them. once the sanctions come down, hard to torque them back up, which is why the bill under consideration in congress is so significant. and why obama is so sensitive to it, but i think what this proves, again, is the underlying correctness of the strategy of iran's negotiators. they see a weak president desperate for a deal, and they played on that very successfully these last several months. >> we heard jay carney say that obama is, quote, the most aggressive president in dealing with the sanctions and iran. >> that's not the most untruthful thing he's said from the podium, that's for sure. the president clearly believed he can outnegotiate the iranians. good luck with that, mr. president. i think we're on a downhill slope. i think the congressional effort is doomed. let me say from my experience in the branch, a presidential veto is rare. they only issue vetoes when they mean it. the phil gramm saying, never take a hostage you're not prepared to shoot. i think democratic leaders in the

russians and diplomats disagree whether iran should be involved in the geneva ii peace conference. james bays, diplomatic editor, has more. >> a rush in a delegation a came to geneva, a final meeting before syrian peace talks, but a meeting with key issues to resolve. >> does it look like you are on track for 22 january. >> no answer. after spending hours in intense negotiations led by special representative lakhdar brahimi, they insisted, yes, everything was on track. the talks will take place on january 22nd. but later lakhdar brahimi told reporters the presence of one nation was a sticking point. >> on iran we have not agreed. you know, it's no secret that we in the united nations welcome the participation of iran. our partners in the united states are still not convinced >> ambassador lakhdar brahimi was dismayed that violence in syria was intensifying. he revealed neither the syrian government nor the opposition had given him a list of their participants for the peace conference. he's aware that many of those nighting against the regime are opposed to the idea of negotiations.

iran doesn't feel bound by what it promised in geneva, either. >> pelley: we'll keep following up. liz, thank you very much. now, this is a story you're going to be hearing more about tomorrow. the national transportation safety board will be opening hearings into whether airline pilots are being lulled into crashes by cockpit computers. in july, an asiana 777 crash landed short of the runway in san francisco. three people were killed. the safety board is looking into whether the crew was relying on a computer to manage air speed when, in reality, that automatic system disengaged. former u.s. airways captain chesley sullenberger is best known for making a safe emergency landing in the hudson river. he's now a cbs news aviation and safety consultant. sully, i imagine a lot of folks at home are wondering what's going on in the cockpit these days. is the pilot just sitting back and letting the computer fly the plane even in landing? >> scott, the pilots are using the technology appropriately and they're using it as a tool to help them fly the airplane. but the pilot must always be men

who's he going to talk to i think the geneva conference will be stillborn if the united states and its allies goes in with the precondition of regime change of assad leaving power i think they need to back off of that that red line and look at a way to pursue new elections fair elections and obama can claim that he has been tracking the assad regime by quarantining and removing and destroying his chemical weapon so he can claim that political victory and then move toward stability in the country. proximately sixteen percent as you imports came from illegal fishing. the european union is ironically taking fish from some of the poorest nations on earth so this is a very serious and very urgent problem that needs immediate international action. but they are territorial waters they fish they load the fish into the ships and leave for europe. to day illegal fishing is taking the bread out of our mouths. we speak your language. school music programs and documentaries in spanish matters to you breaking news a little turn a tip angles stories. all teach spanish. visit. the olympic torch is on

geneva ii should be in russia, saudi arabia. there we can agree. >> meaning saudi arabia could deliver fighting forces. >> yes. i do not know whether it is true or not, but it is interesting for the first time we hear something like that because they sort of say this -- i think this is a very important issue. to what extent we cannot agree or we can agree, u.s. and russia can agree on syria. i'm not so sure -- dr. brzezinski is absolutely right. essential is they agree. they who fight there. it is not up to us to deliver. >> dr. brzezinski, what do you make of the way this administration has responded to the greater russian engagement? i think the point that it is reengagement and so on, but i mean, do you think it has been the right approach? should the u.s. be alarmed by this or see this as an opportunity to at least resolve some issues? >> i do not think they should be alarmed because i do not think the importance should be overestimated. it is desired, but it is another that will shape the outcome either negatively or positi

let's go to james bays who joins us live from geneva. james this is the list, but it's not the final list, i understand. >> no, there is still discussion taking place. we had the meeting taking place here inning geneva, the last preparatory meeting. they are insisting that the peace talks are taking place on january 22nd. there is no stopping them, but most of the unresolved issues were not sorted out at this meeting. as you say they announced a list of 26 countries, but there is one country that is still under debate. this is what the ambassador had to say. >> translator: we were about to agree on one party, and i think you know what party, with iran. we didn't reach an agreement with iran. of course it's known that we at the united nations welcome participation with iran but the united states disagrees. >> but it is still under discussion, of course that is not the only issue that needs to be resolved. another important part is who is coming from syria. who is coming from the syrian government side, and who is coming from the oppositio

they rebel when they're living under their control so i think the prognosis is is quite bad for the geneva settlement i think the assad government feels confident in is willing and isn't prepared in carrying out military offensives against the rebel force that it sees as it's quite split so as we head into a new year hopefully you think fresh hope a fresh start you don't think much is going to change what is going to happen for the do you think. well this is the great humanitarian crisis again i think that we have to understand if it's one hundred thousand or one hundred twenty thousand syrians who have died if it's six million and it is refugees two million who have left the country this has been. a script played out by western powers and their regional allies particularly saudi arabia and qatar to fuel a civil war for a political and in other words to turn people against people and to use food and medicine and ultimately warfare as a weapon to oust a government that had been targeted not because the united states or saudi arabia certainly thinks that it could be a more democratic governm

. >> what was concluded in geneva last night is not a historic agreement. it's a historic mistake. >> many aftcountries, particularly saudi arabia is worried they are trying to buy time. the top diplomat is on a charm offensive in the gulf region. can he build bridges with iran's arab nabors? will he attend the syria talks in generva to add more than two years of killing and destruction? what is behind iran's overtures to the west? you will find out as iran's prime minister talks to al jazeera. thank you very much indeed for talking to al jazeera. iran's nuclear program is an issue. many people in this part of the world say this is a red line. the iranians should not acquire nuclear weapons because this is going just to make this an explosive situation in this part of the world. >> we share that view with them. iran does not seek nuclear weapons. we do not believe that nuclear weapons will increase our security. in fact, we believe even the perception that iran is seeking nuclear weapons is destructive of our security, detramal to security. we are against n
