Slaves for 30 years. Russia has freed on bail the captain and two crew members of the green peace ship arrested in an arctic protest two months ago and 15 members of the group have been released this week and bail hearings for the detained are ongoing and although there is concern now for one activist who was ordered to stay in prison until february. And green peace activist anthony spoke to al jazeera after he left prison. We will look at the problem and the problem is that Climate Change is very serious, the weather is getting much worse and if we dont act soon then its going to get far worse and now is the time to do something about Climate Change and green peace have taken the initiative to try and save the arctic so we can only hope we are successful.

Or not women are getting paid the same rate men are for doing equal work within the organizations. I also want to really emphasize the parameters of the ordinance that we are approving today. This ordinance nearly knishates this process. It sets up the equal pay Advisory Board which will then spend the next several months actually defining the specifics of the final recommendations that would put together how we would do the data gathering for this work.

So, im trying to understand where that exists in the legislation. Im also trying to understand the specifics of the resources from the various departments who will be required to actually implement what were asking to do. So, it would be helpful to know if hrc is going to are we going to add another fte to hrc in order to help facilitate this process . I dont want to just pass legislation to pass legislation. I want to pass legislation that actually works for the people that were trying to make it work for. I think that im unclear as someone who is being asked to support this, im unclear as to how this is actually going to help with the situation. And i do appreciate supervisor kims comments especially because, you know, its definitely something we should be doing, we should be moving in this particular direction, but i also
