A warm welcome to the programme, briefing you on all you need to know in global news, business and sport. And you can be part of the conversation. Today were asking do you eat at the desktop . I do. Keyboard crumbs, audible crunching and often powerful odours are winding up even the most easygoing of colleagues. So what is acceptable in your view . Tell us what you think. Just use the hashtag bbcthebriefing. The leader of the hong kong government, carrie lam, has told a News Conference that a controversial draft law that would have allowed extradition to the chinese mainland is dead. The bill sparked huge protests with tens of thousands taking to the streets to demand its immediate withdrawal. Last month, the government responded by suspending the bill but that move failed to appease its critics. This is what carrie lam had to say. The cause of all these grievances and confrontations is an exercise to amend the fugitive offenders ordinance. I have almost immediately put a stop to the a
Across the globe here in San Francisco and in many ways for many year, San Francisco as a City Government has been behind of adopting that innovation, were doing a ton of work on it, we have a long ways to go, open data is but a part of that in a way to have an impact, i think the impact can be real within our City Government, but i think what youre speaking to is a broader topic of how we use technology to apply to our City Government and our daytoday jobs as supervisors or people within different departments. And i would say i would want us to head in a direction when putting together this overall policy and one that would make us more efficient and one that will mating it easier to cross lines in various city departments and im really excited about this to tonight, really looking forward to the impacts of what happens with this, so i appreciate you taking the leadership and bringing it forward to us, thank you.

And just two more questions, number one, how much is this going to cost us . I mean, you know, from our perspective, there isnt a massive cost involved, some allocation within our city departments with time to put this together.

I think thaoes a very appropriate way to think about it. Okay. And then this is a bit of a selfish question. So, im on the Golden Gate Bridge board and we have a system for our agendas and the details that are provided to us as board members, so when were reviewing the information, not only are we able to look into our board, its called board effects and go through any of the agendas for any

I appreciate that you reached out to our offices and i realize that we may have intersected in life about three decades ago was when the gardens project when i was on the committee to look at all the childrens development, and what a wonderful place that is for San Francisco, so are there any Public Comments at this point . Come on up, two minutes. Im phil chen with the committee for better parks in chinatown. Ive known fei for over 30 years, i just want to share with you an earlier experience that shows her grit and determination. We all know that shes a Great Development professional, but when chinatown cdc got started, our portfolio was 0 projects, and we met with some people who were developing the levi plaza project, and we sent fei to negotiate with Pacific Union and in that process, we were able to get our first equity project. Since then, obv
Hello, supervisors, thank you for your consideration for my appointment to district 6 representatives to supervisor jane kim as a Child Care Provider, my name is deepa mehta, i work for family youth and Child Care Center as an after school coordinator, most of my experience has been in the after school field and the ece field which is Early Childhood education, ive been working in the Tenderloin Community for three years now, in addition to working at glide, im in the tenderloin safe pathway commission, safe passage provides safe blocks to 400 youth daily for the after school hours.
