with drug use. most recently, the tragic onset of the aids virus is a great international health problem is testing our ability to respond to this challenge. the emergence of intravenous drug use as a major risk factor in aids infection and transmission has placed us in a unique position to attack the spread of this perplexing and deadly killer. a doctor is a leader in this effort. >> we have around 2030 people in treatment for intravenous drug use, and this new treatment alone, we are stopping them from using the needle which is effective for transmission for the virus. we are doing aids education programs. i want you to understand the intricacies of it. maybe you just want to know, what happens? a lot of people don't want to go through this. they say, that is a bunch of bull ship. what i want to know, if you take this test and it comes back positive, do i have aids? you may or may not have it, but most likely you don't. what the test means is that you have been infected and that you can infect som

number two, what do you use the data for or how do you use the data? it's primarily compiled to generate a report in compliance with city code 96a. the 96a legislation was initiated to mandate this reporting by supervisor cohen. supervisor cohen was a pioneer to look at this collection. this does not exist -- had not existed in san francisco and sporadically across the country in mandating the collection of specific data. kudos to supervisor cohen for creating that mechanism and that legislation. last question is, how do you use the data to advance equity? that's a difficult question. when you are looking at data, how do you use that data and what does that data mean? how do you create mechanisms and training programs to advance equity across all demographics? primarily, it's to demonstrate our transparency. what are we doing and how do we do it? secondly, for accountability. who are we contacting and what does it mean? to be quite truthful, we can collect the data, but it's disengenuous to look at that and tell you what it means from an academic stand

use. the question then is where the -- the height was picked up, and whether there's an issue. i'm sensing that a couple of the commissioners here have an issue with the increased height of the lower floors. i'm not sure i shared that so much. the question, also, then, is roof decks. i didn't want to say too much, but you recall that two of the commissioners killed the first motion, which deleted any roof decks and required that it be put back into the motion and allowed it. so i'd like to get further clarification from the two who added it back, what is it about this that you don't like? i don't see much difference between this deck and many other decks that we have seen. >> i expected a basic roof top or roof deck with some railings around it, no accoutrementes. i don't know what this 14 foot storage bin is. to me, it's having access to a roof if they intend to use it. i don't understand the argument about raising the ceiling on the lower floor i think had to do with access to rooms that

use, and has found that it's not a legal nonconforming use. >> do you have a comment, mr. teague? >> just to reinforce the city attorney, i mean, all of our -- all of our letters of determination that specifically state that, you know, this is just an interpretation of the use of the code. it's not a permit, it's not anything else to comply. we don't apply conditions to letters of determination. it's simply a question, is this a legal nonconforming public parking lot or is it not, and the zoning administrator said it's not. so the real -- the decision. >> but he's not here. >> i'm sorry? >> i'm going to leave it with no condition. >> so was that a motion? >> that's my motion. >> i would need you to please restate your motion, to grant the appeal and overturn the letter of determination that the zoning administrator erred. >> because one that the city zoning preempted its use as a parking lot prior to the sale of the lot. and secondly, the usage of the lot after the sale as a paid public parking lot established the legal nonconform is use. >> -- nonconforming use. >> yeah,

they're only using that'll way. china live is using its front door on broadway. so it's an electric, boutique, small restaurant, using the alley. >> we have all of our patrons exit on broadway. >> commissioner fong: i want to make sure there's a big difference between the two. i don't think we should just let it drop. i would like to have another hearing. i would like to also put out there, that would believe we should be afraid to revoke the permit if the next hearing we come back in, we're getting the same report and there's no improvement whatsoever. i don't see how else we can approach that. >> commissioner moore: i think you are suggesting what i'm saying. i think it would have to be a report, though, on the full activities of the alley and either in the meantime asking for further cooperation between china live and the theater or whatever. ultimately, we all have to get along with each other. doesn't matter. i'm noolt here to pitch one against the other. 5 like a successful operation of the alley for everybody and everybody's participating in the alley. and

if an attack is made on us or thatllies, many will know and want to alert us to that. in that case, timely action is important. it is only in the context in which many eyes go over this information. that a contrast to the store at -- the story i just told you about nixon. the president without the consensus of thousands decided for some absurd reason to start a war. if we have a time like that, it is fanciful to say yes. absolutely, you get. i did not know we were even angry at taiwan, but if you say so. i just think it is unlikely and i take a point about the precautionary principle, but i am unconvinced it is constitutional. >> i think it is wise in two different ways. you and i may just disagree on a faith in the system and i agree with you that, most of the time, is going to work well, but i would like to formalize the proper delivered of processes to make sure that will a flip problem. i am not sure that a system where the president issues in order and there is a process of advisors asking if the president is ok is good for presidential authority and military rela

what's in front of us. we're supposed to speak to -- >> vice president richards: but it's in here. >> president hillis: i think he's asking why it's not a viable option. i think those are legitimate, standard e.i.r. questions that need to be looked at. >> commissioner moore: one of the very difficult questions is that we're going from public, community use to private development, private developer development, which doesn't have any relation in any form or shape to the users that use the church. and that's a question that i think you can ask the e.i.r. why is there not housing built for the lgbtq community on the site that benefits those who have used the church? that's a tough question to answer because the church sold the property, but in the city, for the city, and for the rest, it's taking a lot and not giving much back and that could be a question we should ask. >> president hillis: seeing no further comments on the e.i.r., did you -- >> vice president richards: i wanted to point out so we don't go dow

let us know — just use the #bbcbizlive. that's an easy question, i would miss your tweets the most! hello and welcome to business live. as europe's biggest economy germany often sets the tone for what's happening across the rest of the continent. and a big pay increase could be on the cards if germany's biggest trade union, ig metall, gets its way in the latest round of talks with the industrial manufacturers that are the bedrock of the economy. ig metall represents about 2.3 million workers and wants an above inflation 6% pay rise. the other key demand is the flexibility of switching to a 28—hour working week. the union is threatening more strikes. but one of the big concerns for companies is that unemployment is at a record low 3.6%, so they're worried there won't be enough staff to fulfil all orders if those workers have the option of less hours. unemployment has also been falling across the rest of the eurozone as the global economy continues to pick up, so workers are in a strong position to demand higher wages. if they get them, it could prove helpfulfor meeting the european

the us commerce department. the us commerce department last year said last year, you know what, boeing, you are right, and levels a 300% tariff on any of those planes coming into the united states. that makes it really prohibitive. what bombardier did is that it appealed its decision to the international trade commission, which is a us agency, a us body, and that body has voted unanimously, 4-0, that body has voted unanimously, 4—0, in favour of bombardier. that 300% tariff that was initially put in place by the us commerce department is now void. samira hussein in new york. and you can find more detail and analysis about bombardier‘s victory on our website and what it means for trade battles worldwide. simply go to bbc.com/news. the entire board of the us gymnastics authority is to resign in the wake of the sexual abuse scandal involving former team on wednesday, nassar was sentenced to up to 175 years in prison for carrying out attacks on over 150 young girls under the guise of medical treatment. peter bow

you can use the post office, they tell you that. you can use certified mail. you could use juror change of addresses. you can use driver license, motor vehicle change of addresses. there are dozens of other ways that you could verify a change of address, yet you're suggesting that using a failure to appear at an election or elections as evidence of moving when people have a right not to vote if they choose. many have, and others like the veteran who is a plaintiff in this case explains the reason yes he failed to vote in two elections. i have to give the meaning the words that congress said. don't use the failure to vote that results in someone being disenfranchised. i don't understand how you can say that the failure to vote can be used as the sole basis for sending out notices. it's not a reasonable inference, so how can it be a reasonable effort? >> the failure to vote clause says failure to vote cannot be the sole basis for removal and the notice, and it says nothing about sending a notice and within subsection d congress identified the minimum evidence th

said, well, if they see us, germans be after us and then our own pilot shooting us down. so we flew cover for the bombers and we done a good job of that. and on the last those bomber pilots started asking for us to escort them. we flew 200 missions. we flew all the way to berlin. that was a nonstop flight. before we got our planes altogether and straightened out and everything, we needed new gas tanks, larger gas tanks. that's an all day job of flying over there at that time. but we couldn't find them. they couldn't find them anywhere. so our engineers, guy the supply officer they heard tanks on a train but they were heading in the wrong direction. so he got his group together, he got a bunch of guys, couple of rifles i guess or something, and they went up there and stopped this train and told those guys they wanted the tanks. said, oh, no, i'm supposed to deliver these tanks to such and such place. you can't have them. the guy said we want those tanks. we got to have them. he said, okay. you take them. and he left the train. we got the tanks and brought them back and put

students of chinese origin, the rate at which they used to stay in the us as the us policies have been made so difficult that the smart students that used to state are now no longer interested. china is also a developed country. it's not like they are getting peasant wages in china. they are getting good wages in china and if they are treated well here and they are smart people, why the hell would they set-- stay? we are so proud of our understanding of marketing economics, it's the same market economics. if you want someone that is bright and a rare commodity and you treat them like crap and they are getting more money not being treated like crap somewhere else would you think will happen? they have made h1b visas are because the h2 spouse work deal that obama did has been canceled , so it becomes more expensive to even live in the united states, so it went from we should take every ai machine student and stamp a green card to his graduation documentation. it went from not rhetoric to bands and your wife cannot work and let me do, you know sort of very intrusive looks at you and every

until that day when the president wanted to use the new that was going to use and even when we. are continuously provoked. most of our supporters are young people and they were charged they could do anything but we did everything within our power to keep them calm because we believe in peace we believe in peaceful elections and we've been preaching peace all along yes we were detained shortly and released and i cannot rule out any possibility of being detained in the future but i mean martin luther king said it before that freedom is not something that is going to be voluntarily given to the priest by the priest that it must be demanded and yes we know that it's not going to be a walk over but if we stand on our feet and fast our demands are going to be reached. we are using the constitutional means of seeking for that change. so i want to share a couple more comments here this is caught on facebook he says the road to a successful music career is brutal in uganda and the one into politics is even worse since political decisions in uganda are made by one man and he's referencing

that's a warning for all of us. i know the iea is continue to conduct significant research on this matter and i look forward to delving deeper into that this morning. although the iea was established on the premise of cooperative oil security, the agency is also evolved and expanded its mission to cover wide range of energy related topics. these include energy efficiency, the digitization of energy, and one that i am particularly interested in and that's the cost reduction in renewable technologies which portend neighbor unto major shift in how we use energy. our committee has examined these topics largely to a domestic lens, so today with the benefit idea of an international perspective, a broader view that ties together world trends and events. we certainly look forward to it. so again dr. birol, thank you for taking time this morning to come and testify. we know your schedule is very, very busy and you travel from paris and we appreciate your willingness to share your expertise in the work of the iea with our com

you're using my suspicion of us they. prescribe medication is widespread on the us market and a frequent cause of death at that point in my life. like everything was ashes my family was literally coming unglued i had actually planned. to commit some site watch all who has made antidepressants so commonly used we were doing what the doctors told us to do we were being responsible and what the real side effects. was terminally alter what i did. it was done on a cocktail of legal drugs. just because something's legal doesn't mean it's something. we're told a secret society existed within the f.b.i. with the sole intent to undermine canada and then later president donald trump also we're told the f.b.i. last text messages from members of this secret society with russia gave rapidly losing steam we now have f.b.i. get. president trump economic success is promotes his america first vision takes a swipe at the media during an address to political and business leaders. i believe in america i will always put america first america

to those who are not with us, to get us where we are. where we are today in addition to the 70 homes is closer to ending chronic homelessness to veterans in san francisco. we have 11 veterans who have moved in and one moving in today. that's great progress. i wanted to loosely quote something i heard from mayor edwin lee that i heard not long ago that was u.s. veterans fought for our country, they shouldn't have to fight for homes. i was very moved by that and it's something i wanted to share. i wanted to -- acs is proud to be part of the team effort to provide solutions to homelessness in the form of supportive housing and ecs will continue to partner in supportive housing in san francisco. for this project, the master tenant and lead service provider and proud to be part of what is a collaborative effort. with the finish line in sight, in all of our collective efforts to end chronic homelessness for u.s. veterans and moving closer to a functional zero number is a remarkable accomplishment that requires great partnership and the auburn

in the us young kids can now chat send pictures and make video calls by using facebook's new children's messenger app it's geared towards six to twelve year olds who are too young for a facebook account of their own. runs through a parent's facebook account. we know that kids are getting devices younger and younger especially the last several years so we went out to talk with families about ok kids with devices and technology and what were his thoughts about it if it was mentioned that they really wanted kids to connect but at same time they were concerned about the connections they just want to have more control. facebook's new app promises parents that control the children's out this installed via other parents facebook account every new contact needs to be approved by the adults that's intended to protect kids from dangers like pedophiles. also filters content like pictures and hateful comments. those kinds of colorful features like maps and stickers in response to facebook competitors like. or snapchat. far more popular with youngsters technically kids under thirteen aren't old enou

it seems to us that that's a good way for us to start. well, the same time, we're also supporting research that deals with both national and international policy-related questions. so we think this is a good moment to bring people together and i know the national history center's also doing that. we will do it together with them. to see what kinds of work we can join forces on, and what each of us does independently. i would say that if one of the outcomes of this work of conv e convening is to create a formal or informal history lobby that can operate at multiple levels from local to international, then that will be very significant achievement. and that's what we think the moment demands of us. >> speaking to the world war ii museum and my successor, steven watson, i'd say we'd like to join in on that effort. we think it's a great endeavor and worthwhile. jason, you were going to say something? >> yeah, it's a really good question because i think at heart, for us, this gets to the heart of our discussions we had in setting up the center

in fact robots are already used in health care. davinci is a surgical robot specialized in prostate cancer it can't actually operate by itself yet its arms a remotely controlled by a surgeon. these new assistants takes some getting used to but make surgical procedures a lot easier. the robot gives the surgeon a view of the operative feel that's magnified ten fold this allows the surgeon to work more precisely and monitor shows the image from the camera on the robot's omma is a chimera is removed. it looks huge in actual fact it's only a few millimeters big. i find myself wondering how i would feel about being operated on by a robot putting my life in its hands basically. surgeons often work very long hours unlike humans robots don't get tired man and machine in future they'll be working together more no. the director of this private clinics. prostate cancer tells me that fifty percent of operations are now performed with the help of such cool robots. pleased with thousand of the robots allow us to refine movements if i move my hand
