schwarzenegger, to his credit, advanced a number of years ago and succeeded with a year or so ago. we have the largest municipally owned solar project in the united states of america just right here over at our moscone facility. we have 450 projects throughout san francisco. we have incentivized wisely over the counter permits so people can navigate the bureaucracy, a $98 fee, flat fee. we are developing projects in this city with minimum requirements for lead building standards. in fact we have a proposal that i will be presenting in front of our san francisco board of supervisors that says you want to build a commercial structure in excess of 50,000 square feet, you've got to provide minimum lead standards of construction. the reason we are doing that is we create an incentive a year ago to do that and everybody in order to get ahead of the queue in terms of the planning process is jumping in saying that's a no brainer of us because time matters more than anything else. so we are going to require it as a base line for doing business in the city and county of san francisco. that f

i asked her just a few minutes ago if she felt any aftershocks? she said not yet. she said she felt the initial quake and then an aftershock a few minutes later and i'm also facebooking with a friend of mine in hawaii. just responded. i asked him how is hawaii reacting? of course tsunami watch for hawaii. he just responded, i've heard reports of gas stations on the west side having long lines already. so that's how my friends in hawaii are reacting to this earthquake in japan and a possible tsunami. that's what we're seeing on twitter and from my friends. >> are you saying that all communication is down in tokyo in terms of phone lines? ? >> she says right now the phone lines are spotty. she can call sometimes and other times she'll call someone and then the line goes dad. >> what about tv coverage? are they seeing tv coverage of damag damage? >> yes they have electricity and actually watching tv. most of them watching on their computers so they are getting information from the outside but right now the land lines and the cell phone lines they're down. >> so really

it is 4% lower than one year ago. home sales rose just a touch. forechoseures made up one third of punches. >>> at the state capitol voting is underway as lawmakers try to reach a state budget deal. so far the lawmakers have passed the main budget deep. half of the state's $26.6 billion deficit. done through cuts and fund transfers. now the legislature has to settle two of the most critical issues in governor brown's proposal. the elimination of redevelopment agencies and a decision on a special election asking voters to extend taxes. >> before we ask for more tax extensions we need to reduce things at the state level. >> there is a worldview that is as don't cut and don't tax. >> a vote on the tax extension may not happen until monday after republicans hold their state convention this weekend. >>> the u.s. senate approved a budget fix that keeps the government running for another 3 weeks. the senate voted on the new spending measure, 87-13. it cut $6 billion in federal spending and now goes to president barack obama for approval. the measure buys

whether that earthquake hit me days ago. and all the trains none of the trains going to the north of the country they're not working and they're still very unsure of what actual transport links they can run with all these aftershocks still happening so even as far away as tokyo still suffering the after effects local authorities fear that a number of the people that have been affected by the radiation it is spilled out into the atmosphere actually rise to one hundred sixty is they actually now analyze the exposure of the people who have been evacuated from the area around the fukushima number one power plant where there is a number of reactors are still on high alert yesterday one of the reactors exploded and thought forces are playing down the fears of nuclear meltdown however they are still on high there are a number of other reactors at that the regime another one plant and number two now because the pressure is still very very high inside a number of the reactors and they having to really let outs dana and obviously in d

out this possible nuclear incident i'd like to remind two of you is that exactly twenty five years ago a full out happened internal gold some one hundred fifty kilometers from where i'm standing right now in central kiev and the area around this nuclear power plant still remains a dead zone thirty kilometer exclusion zone with nobody practically nobody living there so this of course is history's biggest manmade disaster and consequences of this call out were felt everywhere across the european continent and the radiation wave went just far as reaching the eastern coast of the united states back then twenty five years ago. of course experts are now speculating so should any nuclear incident happen in japan now whether the consequences will be as serious as during the trouble fallout and many agree that as long as the reactor in japan is at least ten to twelve more time times more powerful than the one internal bill the consequences could be much more serious and much more grave than twenty five years ago in ukraine. thank you very much for that update we'll have continuing coverage thos

level that's normally experienced at the fukushima power plant and it was said only about three hours ago on japanese media that if you stood outside the entrance to the power plants just for one hour you experience the levels of. radiation you would experience in a whole year still at dangerous levels in the atmosphere it's not as much as it was but the health warnings are being issued and vice are being is being issued on the television and through other media outlets to people if they are going outside this search should cover up their face and mouth and nose and to not breathe in any really radiation mission to cover any exposed areas of skin if they go inside that scrub themselves clean up from being outside and avoid drinking tap water at the moment until they know it's definitely safe so the concern is still that there are is a lot of radiation in the in the air and at people are being in. accurate it's not just from that one plant but also another plant a nearby heard the journalists trying to get to the area to those evacuation areas they can't get close and sixty kilometers the

what this white smoke was caused by but definitely it reminds us of what happened twenty five years ago quarter of a century in the ukrainian town of chernobyl back then of course it was the u.s.s.r. now it's part of sovereign ukraine the white smoke was indeed coming out of the open a cracked open reactor after the explosion which happened early in the morning on april twenty sixth nine hundred eighty six indeed the other one the accident which is now taking place in japan it looks like just like the chernobyl accident with one exception in japan there's far more of this white smoke coming out of the reactor as we've seen. the different pictures shown by the japanese television all throughout the day also have to peter now he's a mosque a for us peter russia has experienced dealing with some serious atomic. asadi help had been offered to japan yes. that's right the experience gained in the lessons learned from dealing with the nine hundred eighty six chernobyl disaster. a key seat if it comes to the request going for any help with dealing with the cleanup if the situation is. now as of

building is the only ovis resemblance which we can see between the two incidents twenty five years ago chernobyl and at the fukushima plant now days that's where the similarities and the situations are basically different simply because of what's caused the what caused them you know the the fallout in chernobyl was caused by a massive human error what is happening now in japan is of course the result of a natural disaster the earthquake happened which happened on friday and the other big difference and this is a very significant difference between the two events is how the government has been responding to the to the events obviously twenty five years ago the government of the soviet government kept most of the information secret from the general population in russia as well as from the rest of the world and went on the massive secret complaint to just safeguard this information and this was this is something which we cannot see today because the japanese government even though we have conflicting reports coming from the island of what's happening there and we have no certainty of what

we hopefully think that such contamination as it happened twenty five years ago and your novel would be avoided this time but of course we'll have to wait and see what happens next with all this developing story. a professor of economics at the university of nottingham he told me he believes the financial cost of. i simply could stand there and he's already in a pretty terrible situation on the financial crisis nuclear beings trouble cobber from the crisis is of the last two or three years and this time the. screen just going to have heated and even hotter is frightening to be called to a system friday so in take a dissipates high same day impact will be significant but i hope it's a nice didn't need to be cold. the dust in question because ok we know is. he's going to cause the lies in crises oh boy oh in other words he knows and all. the disgusting he's going to assemble ladies cause a meeting you don't know what we call mommy but i don't put you see where you're he's not going to cause it and i'm going to find his own crises. well reminder of the main story dominating the news thi

they did that several weeks ago, and certainly had it been done several weeks ago we'd be in better shape than we are today. >> are you actually concerned that this is too little, too late? >> well, i think that's a very real concern. we could end up with the rebels having lost momentum and creating a prolonged stalemate in which libya and the people of libya are subjected to violence for months and maybe even longer than that. >> senator kerry -- >> i can't quite see where we're heading. i can't see exactly where the end game is. and i do think it is a troubling situation. we just hope for the best and maybe this will be successful. but i don't see the certainty of it for sure. >> senator kerry, to kind of sin that size some of the reaction out there, it's what are we doing? what are we doing in libya? andrea mitchell was told on her program on msnbc a couple of weeks ago, the following, our dilemma, senator lugar said, very frankly, is that we are not in a position to police each of these countries, to establish governments that we believe are just for the people, and even to find partn

or 10 days ago? >> it took place eight days ago, exactly. >> rose: eight days ago. so we then last night had the u.n. resolution here. have you talked to these leaders by telephone or any other means so that they gave you a sense of how they see what the impact of the military actions against qaddafi will take place and what impact they might have? >> i spent all last night on the phone trying to get through and getting through to them. i spent the whole night speaking with these men and women, by the way, in benghazi and in tabruk. they were so excited, so thrilled, so happy of what happened, of this u.n. resolution, of this unprecedented acts of attack, moral condemnation, so quick. remember, in bosnia and sarajevo it took four years, four years. in afghanistan, it took years, also, to condemn clearly the taliban, and to endorse and support the inheritors of commander massoud. here in libya, it took three weeks. so they were thrilled. they were happy. they said, "thank you, france. thank you, europ

it was tested a matter of days ago. at this point, inned no warnings, i live on the other side of the island. but no warning so far. the local news is on. they have been doing cut ins regularly and i'm watching some of the cable channels and seeing some of the images that you are. you hit it right on the head. we are watching something we have never seen before. see a live tsunami of this magnitude. we all saw what happened in indonesia many years ago, and it is just heart wrenching to watch this. it's shocking, truly. >> howard, thank you so much. take care out in hawaii. >> thanks. >>> it's also interesting in hawaii because it's an island. wherever you have these watches, people tend to horde. they go to the stores and buy out the bottles of water, paper toy els. right now, i'm about two hours watching. >> you look at what happens during hurricanes, you want to stock up. these four people in japan right now, it could be weeks before any of that is inhabitable again. >> we have a use. i think the first question is, pl

this was an hour ago at the church. the church members have been sitting at the church since early yesterday morning. a day after receiving an eviction notice. church leaders defaulted on their loan but they say they are the victim of predatory lending. torrey pine bank say that they were not the victims of predatory lending. >> ken pritchett is live after witnessing a political tussle today. >> reporter: after getting the entire bill passed, that would be putting tax extensions on a june ballot. i will tell you, the senate did vote on the main budget bill and it passed. however there are several components on the budget that have not yet been voted on or have not yet been passed. governor brown expressed frustration with republicans who were voting down parts of his budget. >> there is a world view that says don't cut and don't tax. and i want to understand that better how that works when you have a $25 billion deficit. >> governor brown was referring to assembly republicans who voted earlier today against several bill

involvement twelve years ago today. well a lot of a lot of people in the serbian community are drawing those parallels and a lot of people who who are allies that are going to those thurles i should mention there's another there's another the mention of this whole thing. the pretext for intervention in yugoslavia was to come to the rescue of helping. to support a course of old liberation albie. what they were saying is that it was committing atrocities it turned out it was the cause of the whole liberation army links up to organized crime for the drug trade which was in fact responsible for those that flows of things so they came in at least we haven't it's sort of action. or a humanitarian undertaking we're up with siding with the costs of the liberation army even though they knew at the time that the kosovo liberation army was loaded predicted so the sort of the talian bucko but it was also dinks up with al-qaeda. so those those parallels have to be drawn we don't even know to what who this opposition is i think it's

we hopefully think that such contamination as it happened twenty five years ago in chernobyl would be avoided this time but of course we have to wait and see what happens next with all this developing story. and writing to her in the region in terms of. the whole. it seems a horrible irony that the japanese who were the first be attacked with a nuclear weapons would now also suffer from the hands of nuclear energy and we hope that it won't be like a noble in terms of how wide it will be spread because if it was an explosion coming out of containment dome then it won't go as high as it did with chernobyl and so it won't spread so far but that means that the radiation will be a lot more intense in the actual area so it's good that they're evacuating but it's really not enough because the area is much larger that we're talking about that will be contaminated. and should jiao a professor of economics at the university have no say on believes the financial cost of friday's disaster will have consequences beyond japan. i think because there is already you know very terrible situation on the

if you hours ago, u.s. secretary of state hillary clinton said airplanes from the united arab emirates would be joining the no-fly zone. >> final preparations for these french pilots as they contemplate another mission over libya. france was at the forefront of the diplomatic flight to get a no flight -- a no-fly zone it installed, and now they're actively involved in maintaining it. while their mission is clear, who controls the international mission has been less so until now. >> nato allies have decided to enforce the no-fly zone over libya. we are taking action as part of the broad international efforts to protect civilians against the attacks by the khadafy regime. >> that will be music to the years of the u.s. government, which four days has been seeking to reduce the level of american involvement in policing the no- fly zone. news of the agreement brought this response from the secretary of state. >> nato is well-suited to coordinating this international effort and ensuring that all participating nat

four years ago in 2007, nuclear material literally went missing from the plant. federal regulators fined the company, saying it failed to keep complete records showing the inventory and disposal of all special nuclear material. >> history tells us that utilities, some utilities, cut corners, and then when the day of reckoning arrives, they won't be ready to respond in the same way that the utility executives in japan were not ready to respond. >> reporter: today, officials from dresden issued a statement to abc news acknowledging the vi violations and saying they took them seriously. company officials say the public nor the employers were at risk. these violations show the industry may not be prepared to deal with a catastrophic event. like a hurricane, tornado, or massive earthquake. and so today, congressman ed markey introduced a bill, calling for a moratorium on new licenses for nuclear power plants. abc news examined nrc safety inspections dating back to 2007 and found a litany of shoddy safety work at the nation's nuclear power plants. june 2009, edwin in b

because twenty five years ago when the chernobyl reactor exploded. with more than fifty thousand residents was evacuated more than one day since the explosion and obviously all these people were subjected to a great deal of radiation to a great deal of threats coming from the open reactor is still unknown to this day how many people have died following the. explosion at the facility and the emission of radiation to the atmosphere still nobody can provide exact figures but clearly the negligence of authority back then led to some serious consequences but at the same time clearly the steps which the authorities managed to take in the hours after the explosion at the nuclear facility were then considered by the international atomic energy agency as very successful because bombarding the open reactor with bursts and blood was much more efficient than trying to extinguish the blaze with water this could have caused another steam explosion maybe much more powerful than the first one in fact and the steps taken by the authorities in the first stages and the
