And first of all, thank you all so much for being here. I want to just start by expressing my appreciation to Mary Ellen Carroll for her continued support of manager king and facilitating the various meetings that take place with the Disaster Council. Theres a lot of work that needs to be done in San Francisco to address this. Many of the things that we know could happen that we may be surprised by. In addition to those things that we know are coming and having some consistent meetings with our various city service agencies, Law Enforcement and others who will be responsible when and if anything happens in our city is critical to ensuring the safety of residents of our city. This this conversation and us coming together. I know has been sparked by my push to start to look at the renewing of our alarm system that used to sound. At 12 00 every tuesday, something that, you know, especially those of us who grew up in San Francisco, we would hear consistently and if you heard it outside the
A peninsula. Smoke was about, id say 100, 100ft up. Its probably been the biggest fire ive seen. That firefighter, it was a long one, but it has come to an end tonight. Good evening everyone. Im mike mibach. And im Heather Holmes. The fire is at sims metal in redwood city, and it broke out just before 3 00 this afternoon. The flames sent smoke into several nearby cities, prompting air quality concerns. Our joey huerta joins us now live from redwood city. And joey, firefighters have pinpointed where in the yard this fire first began. Thats right. Heather and mike all clear now. The fire is out. You can still smell a metallic odor in the air now. And as i step out of the way, you can see crews who work at this scrapyard are still at it, moving things around with their heavy equipment tonight. And were told by the fire department, this all came down to a pile of cars that caught fire. Thick black plumes of smoke billowing over the horizon. Skyfox shows the view from above. Sims metal, a s
Expecting this memorial day weekend straight ahead. Live from jack london square. This is mornings on two. The knight. Today is thursday, may 23rd. Were looking at the San Francisco skyline here, and it is just i dont know if thats haze. Its not completely blue. Skies are clear and i know that the weather is probably on your mind, especially if youre staying in the bay area. So were going to have steve talk about that in just a bit. When it comes to hiring new employees , as more Companies Say that a candidates skills are more important than their experience, according to a new study from indeed, this trend is especially true in high wage positions that require college degrees.

So committee will come to order. Without objection recess at any time. We will begin the subcommittee hearing with the gentleman from california. The pledge of allegiance. Thank you. We welcome everyone to todays hearing on the exploitation of children in United States and abroad. I now recognize myself for an opening statement. I am grateful all of you are here today both the witnesses the member of the committee and then also the audience. We appreciate you being here. I wish we did not have to hold a hearing on this topic. That would mean children in our country and abroad are safe from exploitation. Unfortunately that is not the case. It is a fact our children are not safe online. And it is unacceptable. Predators use the internet to trick and exploit innocent children. Children are trafficked. Through social media apps. This is the worst type of evil. To our strong survivor leaders in the room and watching from afar we see you, we hear you and your Voice Matters and we appreciate
