it would merge a two bedroom two bath unit with a two and a half bath unit. the stairway between the units to create one four bedroom that occupies the ninth, half of the tenth and the penthouse. a point of clarification, the staff report states the rental unit is vacant but it is occupied by the owner. in addition to the conditional use, the commission has to consider other criteria. it would not eliminate housing considered affordable, it would remove a unit subject to the residential rent stablezation and go against the mayor's executive directive that all housing, especially rental housing should be preserved. the merging of the two units, considered separately would not be in the best interest of the community. the department has received one correspondence in support and two in opposition. after analyzing all aspects, the department recommends disapproval, it will result in a net loss of rental housing stock and merge two units that are affordable and result in one merged unit that is not affordable to a large part of the population. it's not needed for

these units can be saved for $40,000 per unit. it's up to you to decide if you want to deal with no kitchen, you get to stay. i hope the city is good enough to say that. i hope we're big enough to say that. go ahead. >> anyway, these are decent units. i have gone through every one of them. there's two issues, exiting through the garage, easily addressed with sprinklers, administrative bolt and that can be solved and one building in the back that needs to be torn down. it is being torn down. everything else is solvable. >> i'll save comments for rebuttal. >> i don't think we're doing rebuttal. i think we have given ample time to both on this. given that you're not -- this is not really rebutting anything. >> may i have 30 seconds to finish? >> sure. >> thank you. i just want to make clear that there are two options before the commission today. one is to deny them, or remove the extra stoves and the tenants can stay. i thank you for your time today. we do believe a cu is required for the process under ordinance 33-16. i want to tell

15 units. the majority are part of the housing and urban development, veteran affairs, supportive affairs program. following the inspection, planning department initiated proceedings against all properties with each found to be in violation of planning code section 171 for the unauthorized conversion for uses. at the conclusion of the enforcement process, notices of violations were issued. building permit applications were filed to legalize the number of units permitted at each property, as well as one additional unit through the program 207.3. additional aa aal units would b proposed to be removed. the filing of the d.r.s that are now before you. the removal of the unit requires traditional youth authorization. 317-c4, when there is no path for legalization, conditional use authorization is not required. in october, 2016, mr. frederick bryant filed applications on all projects. the stated reasons for filing were to prevent any tenant displacement that would result from the removal of the units

held separate meetings with government and opposition delegations in geneva is the eighth round of united nations sponsored talks to end the civil war the opposition is still demanding the departure of syrian president bashar al assad and at least fourteen people have been killed in fighting in the yemeni capital sana'a forces loyal to the former yemeni president ali abdullah saleh fought with their hoofy rebel allies near the mosque the salah loyalists have accused the who says of carrying out a coup those are the headlines a full news hour is coming your way after inside story. more demands from the u.s. aimed at china from the united states off to north korea's latest missile with the government in pyongyang claiming the u.s. mainland is no bridge will take action and help diffuse the crisis this is inside story. hello and welcome to the program today with me this one was bigger and more powerful and it sets off the alarm bells in capitals around the world especially in washington after successfully testing a new type of intercontinental ballistic missile in north korea says it could h

indians remained in the united states, but they were forcibly removed to areas where the united -- where the federal government wanted them to live, and they were supposed to occupy a status as domestic dependents, but not fully emancipated citizens. this is hardly happy. i want to begin today with a delightfully unhappy story. welcome back from break, this is just what you needed to hear. but i think this story is very important to set the civil war and reconstruction in context. in the west, we see a federal government holding true to one of its founding principles, to establish federal sovereignty. that is what the government is supposed to do, establish sovereignty over the land it claims, but also to preserve superiority. that had been the long tradition of the federal government, especially in the west. but in the east, particularly in the southeast, right before the exam, we considered how the federal government had explored the policy of racial equality during reconstruction. but it had been unable to convert that into reality. what this should remind you of is this is not whatth

europe and the united states seek a normalized relationship with russia. however russia, has shown to have a global balance of power, one in which russia seeks to impose its will on others by force or by partnering with regimes who show a disregard for their own citizens as is the case of assad's continued use of chemical weapons against his own people. the dissolution of the soviet union liberal liesed and created new trade opportunities that benefits all. but russia has employed malicious tactics against the u.s. and europe to drive us apart, weaken our confidence and undermine the political and economic successes we have achieved together since the end of the cold war. playing politics with energy supplies, launching cyberattacks and disinformation campaigns to undermine free elections and harassing and intimidating diplomats are the not the behaviors of a responsible nation. attacking a neighboring country and threatening others does nothing to improve the lives of russians. we want russia to be a constructive neighbor of europe and of the larger trans

the united states will also do its part. we are also committed to reforming our development finance institutions so that they better incentivize private sector investment in your economies, and provide strong alternatives to state-directed initiatives that come with many strings attached. the united states has been reminded time and time again in recent years that economic security is not merely related to national security. economic security is national security. it is vital to our national strength. we also know that we will not have lasting prosperity if we do not confront grave threats to security, sovereignty, and stability facing our world today. earlier this week, i addressed the national assembly in seoul, south korea, and urged every responsible nation to stand united in declaring that every single step the north korean regime takes toward more weapons is a step it takes into greater and greater danger. the future of this region and its beautiful people must not be held hostage to a dictator's twisted fantasies of v

the united states will maintain our long-standing special relationship with the united kingdom. at the same time maintain a strong relationship with the eu regardless of the outcome of brexit. we will not attempt to influence the negotiations. but we urge the eu and uk to move this process forward swiftly and without unnecessary acrimony. we offer an impartial and in friendship to both parties. the next chapter of european history must be written in europe's own words. as i mentioned at the beginning, 2017 marks the 100th anniversary of america's entry into world war i. but this november also marks the centennial of another event in world history. the beginning of the russian revolution. though the soviet union collapsed 26 years ago, a few symbols and phrases associated with decades of soviet rule and door in the english language. the gulag, the five-year plan, the iron curtain, the berlin wall. these few words almost universally understood, to the bitter and brutal history of communist rule in europe and russia. in her medicine what can happen if we failed to defend the core p

until and if the united states comes back in. they have altogether some victory —— some 50 different provisions. most of them we re different provisions. most of them were valuable to the united states. international property protection. now with the united states out, this is one pieces of the agreement that has gone away. this indicates these trade agreements, once they are in the hands of economies, won't look exactly like they did while the united states was present. that is not good, eitherfor united states was present. that is not good, either for the united states was present. that is not good, eitherfor the united states or europe. those that don't have a large stake in intellectual property in their trading relationships. peter, very good to you. —— very good to talk to you. the crisis in lebanon has intensified with the leader of the militant shia group, hezbollah, now accusing saudi arabia of declaring war on his country. it comes just days after the lebanese prime minister saad hariri announced his resignation

the failure by the united states in december of last year to veto the united nations security council resolution 2234. a resolution stating that the western wall is a legally occupied territory and unthinkably, in my lifetime and the lifetime of my parents and those that i hold dear, unthinkably, the united states abstained and permitted that resolution to pass. a day later, the secretary of to justify this outrage only compounded the stunningnd revealed a rejection of america's most important middle eastern ally. i hope that you agree with me that we have turned the page since the dark days of last december. gone are the days when the united nations bashes israel with impunity. unesco falsely claim once again the 3500 your connection between the jewish people and jerusalem or he brought -- or hebron. this time around the result was different, the united states withdrew from unesco. ambassador nikki haley, there a new sheriff in town down the block in turtle bay. that is not the only stark change for the better in the trump administration. in may of this past year, there were two firs

the united states whisk -- united states with drew from withdrew from unesco. ,nd ambassador nikki haley there was truly -- [applause] there is truly a new sheriff in town down the block internal day. but that is not the only stark change for the better in the trump administration. in may of this past year, there were two firsts that you may have noticed. earlier that month i had the privilege to be the master of ceremonies at the very first celebration at the white house hosted by vice president mike pence. [applause] later that month, and far more , president trump he came the first sitting president in history to visit the western wall. [applause] a visit that resonated throughout the middle east. i should also tell you that the day before president trump i was the first united states ambassador in american history to attend a celebration of the reunification of jerusalem. i think we are making progress, i think so. that progress is much more than symbolic. if you ask prime minister one of the most important foreign-policy objectives of his government, what

they are seeking engagement with the united states. there is a difficult position for president moon to be in. theas emphasized despite theological differences he and president trump are on the same page or committed to maximizing pressure for now on north korea. there is certainly a wide gulf. president trump has criticized president moon publicly on twitter for his approach. president moon has expressed a lot of concern about unilateral american military action. states saying the united should coordinate and consult with south korea before launching any sort of military attack against north korea. that is right now one of the main concerns in south korea, that the united states would either intentionally or unintentionally begin a conflict without consulting with south korea first. host: landed on the republican line from williamsburg, virginia. good morning. caller: i'm glad to be able to speak to mr. denmark. is how does south korea feel -- host: can you meet your tv -- mute your tv? caller: yes. good morning. host: you are on live

so japan is very dependent on the united states. and as a result prime minister abe is very focused on making this relationship the best in the world. >> trump and abe are expected to act in lock step together, you know, in terms of their messaging on a host of issues especially north korea, right? it is a strong alliance. but what about the people of japan? do they support where trump is taking policy on issues that affect their nation? >> i think the answer is yes. and i can say that with great confidence because as you know just a couple of weeks ago we had a big general election. and prime minister abe on his agenda of being pro-america of being aligned with president trump's foreign policy particularly against north korea, they did win here a two thirds super majority. so i think it's quite clear, yes, by hook or by crook the japanese people fully stand behind america. >> now, trade will of course be on the agenda as prime minister abe sits down with president trump. how is the needle going to move in terms of trade between the

you know we shouldn't be cheated again three times in a row and now is the time for the united states japan an international community i would very much like russia to join us in providing more pressure doesn't you we have to take a short break now but we will be back in just a few moments stay tuned. simply. set up that ten miles from absolute given depends on both with meters for that day with. a less impact because. i one up at a saw and we will meet today. with a set of my lemon who speculate hint that me or the now with jamie has a hunk on the road. now at the five day because hell i got money for that matter. i see let him make the point i made for the on the metro have one thing close i gave up they got me the so c. so when i went i would. pay everybody and stephen bob. taft hollywood guy the suspect every proud american first of all i'm just george bush and r.v. news this is my buddy max famous financial guru just a little bit different. you know with those up with all the drama happening in our country and i'm sure the brood have fun meet everyday americans. and hopefully sta

it is important for the united states. that manything administrations, republicans and democrats have tried to build up. when the president was elected in the philippines, we became faced with a difficult decision, which is we had a democratically elected leader in the philippines, a treaty ally of the united states began to directly undermine the rule of law and respect for human rights in his own country by embarking on this deadly campaign against drug users in his country. the human rights concerns are awful right now in the philippines. administration tried to do in his last months in office was to try to step back a little bit from some of the corporation -- cooperation with the philippines of a security side make sure we were not undermining our interest and making sure we were not publicly embracing the president to show that we were very concerned about this relationship. embraced trump has president duterte to. not raise concerns about his human rights record. that is a disturbing signal the united states is send

it has been a policy that the united states would not accept north korea as capable of striking the united states would nuclear weapons. what i disagree with with mcmaster on is that the president's administration has been clear in its approach towards north korea. i feel like there has been various endorsements of diplomacy, criticisms of diplomacy saying the united states does not seek regime change. speech it was a key opportunity for the president to clarify his position and to make the case for what they are saying is at times running out, but the terms against north korea is not acceptable and we need to find another way towards denuclearization. in japanent trump is until tuesday. he goes to south korea and china for meetings. for the last leg of the trip he stops in vietnam will -- where he will attend the economic cooperation meeting. then he heads to the philippines for the association of southeast asian nations summit. the coverage -- watch coverage here on c-span networks. the house ways and means committee begins its work on the republican's tax reform plan monday before sendi

unit 1605 gets resold. the money coming out of the building is now clean. the proceeds of a legitimate real estate deal. the only way to trace its dirty origins would be to go back to the beginning, and identify the original buyer. and that should be relatively easy. but not in panama. our investigation led us here to panama's public registry. after going through a lot of paperwork a pattern started to emerge. tushs out many of the condo units aren't owned by individuals but panamanian corporations, often with generic names like ocean trump 1605 investment corporation. so why would someone use a corporation to buy a condo? often to hide the identity of the real buyer. >> one of the things we, with these shell companies is, you can simply transfer the company, the buyer's share, to anybody you want. >> reporter: you set up a shell company. nobody knows who's the actual owner, and then you buy the unit. get a piece of paper saying you own the unit. >> you're the owner. >> reporter: and do what you want with t

creation or any single nation's creation it is something that the united nations. passed and so members of the united nations all nations are responsible fulfilling the promise and when it comes to the p five nations like russia and china the responsibility even heavier which is why china must do its own due responsibility and russia. fulfill the same responsibility. that's what i should like to say but doctors in english my question wasn't about that i think the notion of the shared responsibility is shared by everyone in the region after all both russia and china have borders with north korea the question is how much pressure you could apply and i may be biased but there is a strong perception here in the russia that the united states cannot have acting approach mystically every time it sees an opening if there is an opening in north. korea it is believed that the united states would seize the opportunity to move its forces to move its influence into that country do you think that is a real possibility and is that something that perhaps could alarm tokyo the very

housing units. over a 10-year housing balance reporting, i will be reporting on the third report which was submitted to you in late may and covers the period from the first quarter of 2007. to quarter 4 2016. this will be the third presentation under housing balance before the board of supervisors mandated. so why a housing balance? one stated goal of the ordinance is to ensure the data is meeting affordable housing targets city-wide and within neighborhoods informs the approval process for new housing development. just to remind the commissioners, here separate housing affordable production targets cited on the man da*itsz and each have its own monitoring and reporting requirements. the housing balance report gives context to these different passing production goals. the housing elements mandated by the state to be updated periodically sets a production goal of about 8,000 net new units built between 2015 and 2022. this is commonly called rena or regional housing needs allocation goals. 57% will be

fall don't always have to do with factors that the unit takes -- united states can control. if i am talking to people, and although i'm not in east asian specialist, i would urge us not to think of this as a zero-sum >> thank you. you did a great job. days, i used to try to make a point with students that there is no worst time to make peace then after a war. moreonger the war, the competent it becomes because of the air. in all the obvious errors peace treaties, was there and misplaced optimism on the part of woodrow wilson that perhaps the league of nations eventually get around to addressing? we are not going to make permit mistakes as a result of bp settlement -- the peace settlement? is a britishthere theorist. he made that case. he said one problem with the first world war is that as it went on, the more societies invested in the war, the more they had to put into the peace. he recognized the problem you articulate. there is a tremendous hope among -- not just wilson -- but a broad swath of american society if you had a league of nations, even if the united states had

[crowd boos] a day later the secretary of state attempt to justify this outrage only compounded the problem and revealed a stunning reduction of america's most didn't middle eastern ally. i hope you agree with me. you turn the page since the dark days of last december.

beneficiaries in the united states she explained to me the reason why she came to the united states was because of the civil war in incredible violence and a lot of inhumane treatment. or nationals and she had to cross multiple country. through various. train airplane to arrive to the united states in one thousand nine hundred six to provide her family. with a better life. just that this is a very compassionate program and what was the politics like at the time key remember do you recall whether lawmakers thought that this was a good thing that the u.s. could do some neighbors other countries that was suffering it could have been from a natural disaster it could be from a political disaster. well it actually was never meant to help people who were suffering it was meant to help people who happened to be in the united states at a time of a catastrophic event in their home country to not have to return at the time that they were supposed to or to not be deported if they were found by u.s. immigration authorities so it's really not a humanitarian program as much as just. a way to put off d

in may, the united states transferred the u.s. coast guard cutter morgenthau to the people and country of vietnam. named for u.s. treasury secretary henry morgenthau jr., this vessel once patrolled the coasts of vietnam during the vietnam war. today, the same american vessel, a gift between partners, is sailing the waters of the pacific on its way to patrol these coasts for the people of vietnam. this month we mark veterans day in the united states. and out of war and conflict, we have achieved a deep friendship, partnership, and we have achieved peace. bound by mutual respect and common experience, our veterans laid the foundation for that achievement between our nations. our decades-long joint humanitarian efforts with the vietnamese people and government to account for and recover personnel still missing -- so important to us -- from the war honors these horrors of this horrendous war. we want our service members' support -- and we give total support to the families, and we strengthen the foundation of our comprehensive partner

so the agreement was i had a week to sell 100 units. >> how did you sell 100 units in a week? >> it was easy to sell in fact, you know, when his name. >> the name of the most famous man in real estate who was also the building's salesman and chief. >> one of the great things about panama, not only the beautiful building, but the incredible views. >> the name, trump, was magic. and he came down, donald trump came down. he has a great presence. he's a fabulous marketing person. >> but according to ventura, it was ivanka trump who handled all the details. what kinds of things did ivanka do? >> meeting with the architects, deciding the finishings of the project, the prices, when it's going to be released, when it's not going to be released. everything related to the project because according to to the contract, trump organization has to approve everything because of his name on the project anyway. >> so it sounds like the trump organization specifically ivanka was deeply involved. >> yes. i mean, she was a person responsible for the project. >> ventura who had a small real estate

states as a whole as your own statistics showed is actually starting to unite against these types of crimes we saw people were protesting at the airports when this was happening we saw how the courts have shot down president trump's efforts to institutionalize discrimination against muslims and middle easterners through the travel in the muslim bound for instance so i think the elements inside of the american society that that actually can battle this and i can bring about a much more tolerant society definitely are there i think actually they are having momentum on their side but the reason why we're seeing this is because they don't have the presidency on their side right now and then there's the other side of islamophobia the fact that it is brought up any time someone says anything critical about islam. do you feel that the non muslim majority has concerns and fears aren't being addressed properly since people who raised their voices are branded bigots and so. i'm not sure if that's the case i don't know if i agree with your premise but i do believe that you have the scenario in

welcome to our viewers in the united states and around the world. this is "reliable sources," our weekly look at the stories behind the story. of how the media really works and how the news gets made. this hour, a democratic sweep at the ballot box this week, including a surprise win by this man, chris hurst. i'll talk live with the news anchor turned politician. plus president trump's dangerous disregard for russia's election meddling. expert analysis coming up. and i'll also

by the united states. even though it is an american corporation that can manipulate the price of its goods and services to actually push overseas its profits. brilliant. brilliant. you want to bring jobs back to america? don't do territorial tax reform. doesn't work for the american worker. works for the stockholders. their stocks will go up. stock prices will. and they'll be able to receive more benefits. so that's only $3 trillion over 10 years of reductions for corporate taxes who benefits? wall street. corporate executives. who loses? the american worker loses. one more thing that is on my mind is that, i used to hear last year, year before last, the year before that, in fact for the last two decades, i used to hear a lot of talk from many, well, from about more than half of the members of this house of representatives who would talk about the horrible impact of the american deficit. that it would lead to ruin for the american economy. that our grandchildren would be left to pay it off. and all of the

have really the the the stamina and the strength to me making the new deals because i mean the united states is the biggest debtor country in the world i mean what kind of leverage to the chinese the south koreans the japanese the mini's even with the united states right now the u.s. only has its military go ahead. well you can make new deals with old ideas and well i agree with you the pulling out of the t p p was a very good idea certainly from a free trade perspective because these large trade deals really are sweetheart deals for crony capitalists and well connected companies they don't benefit across the board but what is he replacing it with we've seen already twice on this trip to asia president from saying the japanese are going to buy a lot more of our weapons over the south koreans are going to buy a lot more of our weapon weapons so it's i'm wondering is this the leader of the free world or the global sales rep for the military industrial complex you know that's that's what i wonder when i see him overseas he told the japanese this trip is about making jobs back in the u.s.

and the difference between united states and china is that china is paying a long game and the united states is playing a short game. and that chinese clearly have a very clear, long-term missivisi where they want to be 10 or 20 years from now. they have a vision where they want to go domestically. they have a vision for the region. that's why the initiative is a truly brilliant initiative to tie all the neighbors to china's economy. in a kind of sort of win-win fashion. everybody wants new highways and bridges and so on and so forth. so it's important to try and understand the long game of the chinese if the united states want to try to match it in the long run. >> can the united states match it? >> look, i agree with much of what he suggests. but i think the united states has had more success historically in asia than many give us credit for. we have sponsored and supported an operating system of sorts that had built strong trade links, defense partnerships, allowing for problems to be settled peacefully. that's our biggest contribution. it's been supported by bipartisan manner in t

the president of the united states. >>> thank you very much. last night i returned from a historic 12-day trip to asia. this journey took us to five nations to meet with dozens of foreign leaders, participate in three formal state visits and attend three key regional summits. it was the longest visit to the region by an american president in more than a quarter of a century. everywhere we went, our foreign hosts greeted the american delegation, myself included, with incredible warmth, hospitality and most importantly, respect. and this great respect showed very well our country is further evidence that america's renewed confidence and standing in the world has never been stronger than it is right now. when we are confident in ourselves, our strength, our flag, our history, our values, other nations are confident in us. and when we treat our citizens with the respect they deserve, other countries treat america with the respect that our country so richly deserves. during our travels, this is exactly what the world saw. a strong, proud and confide

he's now president of the united states. who can stop the president of the united states? i don't know. we all thought ivanka trump, his daughter, late 30s daughter could do that. apparently she can't. >> or even john kelly. the general would come in -- >> i was told today that believe it or not john kelly has done more than anybody realizes. it could be a whole lot worse had john kelly not intervened on a number of occasions that we don't even know about. >> some intelligence officials, james clapper, john brennan we are former director of the cia, even raised questions about his fitness for office. >> it's troubling to have experts like that come forward with those kinds of concerns. nobody wants to think that the president of the united states is unfit to actually hold the office. i'm certainly not in a position to judge one way or the other, but i can tell you as a former naval office and working at the state department, what you want out of that oval office is you want solidity, right? you want firmness. you want an openness it different ideas and to transparency. and
