. >> thank you so much, president walton. i wanted to start off by saying that i'm really frustrated in the way in which this plan has been unveiled in the media and to the public. it has colored the way we are all looking at this. it created divisions where there need not be divisions. it has turned hundreds and thousands -- thousands, let me say thousands of advocates who have spent their lives working on harm reduction, interventions, services first, have fought the drug wars through and through against this emergency ordinance and that is frustrating. so all of us here at the board are in the middle of something that we all believe strongly is an emergency health crisis. i don't know how anybody could walk the streets of the tenderloin and not think that they're in the middle of an emergency health crisis. the condition and the situation in the tenderloin are 100% unacceptable. i believe that. i believe every member of the board believes that. clearly the mayor believes that. that is a no-brainer. everyone is fighting abo

luke walton, bbc look north. the us supreme court has blocked the white house from enforcing vaccine or test requirements for large private businesses. the mandate would have forced firms with 100 or more employees to either get vaccinated or submit a negative covid test weekly and wear a mask to enter the workplace. the biden administration had argued the rules were necessary to address the "grave danger" posed by the covid pandemic. the bbc�*s samira hussain reports from new york. in this decision, the supreme court was sympathetic to the efforts being taken by the white house to combat the virus. even citing the toll of the pandemic has taken on the country. nevertheless, the court said it is not legal for the government to force a vaccination mandate. although this comes as a blow to the biden administration, which really viewed these requirements is a key tool in its arsenal to fight the covid pandemic. which really viewed these requirements as a key tool in its arsenal to fight the covid pandemic. the dec
