Is a very strong sentiment. Particularly that portal there is one that has been a lot of talk about water sheds and echo systems and other things that are important to see. The kids dont often have an opportunity to see close to home. Again a city kid doesnt get very often to see where food comes from. The idea of letting kids see where vegetables come from and getting their hands dirt is something that is important to all of us in the city as parents. It would be great to have this model. I understand the property is already in escrow. I understand there is some hope that something can be done. I encourage you to do what you can do to acquire that property if possible. Thank you. Thank you very much for being here. Is there any other Public Comment . Hi, dave. David, i havent been here in a while. I wanted to model the puc fashion part of the add campaign which has attracted a lot of attention and which is all to the good. That was item 1. Item 2, i wanted to reference the announcemen
About his possibly the case and i would love for you to. I kind of did ask. To follow up and say that we now have interagency structures to raise red flags to the highest level. How is it possible that the state department wasnt looking at this intentionally in november and december and i think that is a followup opportunity. And he did play an important role. They were convening behind the scenes at the state department was the key of sharing information in august, september, october, and november. And they did have open sessions with the partners so that we could express what we were seeing. And that would not have happened without this and still are questions are what happened in march and were does the atrocities prevention said on parallel with other National Intelligence priorities. If it was irrelevant until these atrocities were occurring, how are we better elevating that prioritization framework and how can we get ahead. And had we put a better emphasis ahead of the curve inst
Its funding catholic relief services, search for Common Ground and mercy corps. They could respond quickly. They turned around in a matter of weeks. Thats a great tool we really think should be scaled up, at least 100 million, and beyond Rapid Response structure but finding, looking at priorities and how we can have more block of prevention. On your question of the Transitional Government, i think from my perception on the ground and from our Staff Perceptions there still is safe and optimism in the Transitional Government but it is waning as we mentioned that what we prioritize is that she has, the Transitional Government has a support package to pay civil sellers and restore basic a state function so that they can begin to provide services. We are happy with the world banks announcement earlier this week which will be an initial seller payment but it small. We think the imf really needs to get involved and we heard that they plan to send their Assessment Team in july which we think i
Faced the golden state warriors, good evening, im gasia mikaelian. Half an hour, but this pivotal game is being overshadowed by a bigger story, by clippers owner Donald Sterling, now banned by the nba for life. Donald sterling, the maximum punishment possible for racially charged comments he made to his former girlfriend. Sterling has owned the clippers longer than any owner of any Major Professional Sports Team for more than 30 years. So far, here are the penalties against sterling, he is banned from life for any association with the clippers or the league. The nba also fined him 2 and a half million, the maximum fine allowed, also urging the nba to force sterling to sell the team, a move embraced tonight by the warriors head coach, mark jackson. The views expressed by mr. Sterling are deeply offensive and harmful. That they came from an nba owner, only heightens the damage and my personal outrage. I dont think this is something that, you know, we rejoice in. Or anything like that. Um
Union to discuss the deployment of additional african troops from rwanda, and we hope that that will take place very soon, and we are positioned to move those troops quickly. But at the e. U. Presence will go from 100 at present to 500 present so that will bring us up to close to 9000. Military plan is the pentagon and the u. N. Said that is a sufficient force with a robust mandate to bring some peace to these people who suffer . Let me answer the question differently mr. Chairman. Spin terms of displaced members we have seen the number declined from 500,000 to 200,000 which is not to suggest that the situation is not atrocious and the removal of the muslims and the light of the muslims continues to those numbers so i dont want to be misleading but the fact that the number of internally displaced people is declining i think shows the French Forces are having impact and we get these police trained we are hopeful those numbers will be sufficient to restore security. I think we will have
