kim jong-il and his son. >> thank you. it's not at all a sure thing that kim jong-un will one day become leader of north korea. i recently spoke with gordon chang, an expert on north korea. he said the younger kim could easily faug victim to more ruthless forces inside the country. this is quite a celebration. quite the spectacle, isn't it? >> it is. ordinary years, the mass games are the biggest event on earth and this year, it's even bigger because it's supposed to mark the succession of kim jong-un to be the third kim on the throne. that's why they're pulling out all the stops. >> north korea is so secretive we had only heard about kim jong-un in the past couple of weeks. what's to know about hit and do we know how old he is? >> we think he's 27. he might be 28. he is the youngest acknowledged son of kim jong-il. he likes a lot of things western, was educated in a swiss school. he is as ruthless and calculating as his father, the current leader of north korea. he's the one who got the dictator gene. >> is that the reaso

commissioner kim: these questions are for tark. i was just curious, now that i know it's still not been that much time, but if we've been collecting data and how things have been going at tark and maybe some of the success stories and some of the challenges thus far. >> i can give you just briefly. we can arrange another time to come. i know we were trying to schedule a time to talk about specifics. i can tell you that in general there are about 46 cases that are enrolled. commissioner kim: how many? i'm sorry. >> 46. and most of them are kristin cavallari and habitual. and there's been an estimated 36% decrease from chronic to habitual. some of the profiles we're dealing with, we're talking about youth that are multisystems involved so jdp and h.s.a. have been at the table to talk about dealing with wrap-around services and addressing some of the needs young people have through sfusd. we've worked closely with student support services. the referral process has really been from sfpd, from the d.a.'s office, all the active partners

and heir apparent, kim jong un. political analysts say the envoy's visit to china may indicate that the north wants to avoid confrontation with the united states and other countries to create an environment for a smooth transfer of power. >>> a top north korean envoy has criticized naoto kan's aims toward the country in the prime minister's policy speech. song il ho, in charge of normalizing ties with japan, referred to kan's policy speech to the diet on october 1st. song's comment was made during an interview with japan's kyoto news agency in pyongyang on tuesday. kan said in the speech he aims for a comprehensive settlement for issues concerning north korea, including the abduction of japanese citizens and the north's nuclear and missile development. song said the current government led by democratic party -- by the democratic party is adopting the same policy towards north korea as the previous administrations led by the liberal democratic party. the envoy reiterated north korea's stance that the abduction issue

first leader, kim il-sung. kim jong-il had a stroke two years ago, which raised questions about who would succeed him. today he was joined for the first time in the reviewing box by his son kim kim jon un. >> it means the regime is doing everything it can to keep power within the current regime. >> reporter: not much is known about kim jon un. he's thought to be in his late 20s, england kateed in switzerland and made a general a couple weeks ago. >> the family i think are trying to slowly begin to give him a higher profile. but they're taking their time. >> reporter: at the parade today and a music and dans extravaganza tonight, kim jong-il's very presence drew tears from the very faithful. but in a closed society with a researched economy and brutal poverty, it's impossible to know how widely those feelings are shared. >> kim jong-il has less respect than his father kim il-sung, and kim jon un has basically none at all. this is a very challenging situation for the north korean regime. >> reporter: if kim jon u

. >> commissioner kim. president kim: amazing school. some of our best teachers, not just for pregnant teens but young moms so they continue to stay on until they graduate. my concern is we aren't doing enough outreach to our pregnant teens and young moms because i don't think all of our students know about it. but once there, it is an amazing community and they build a community. last year, they graduated their first dad as well. it's technically for all of our young parents. i have some questions on -- and i know not everyone is here on data sharing and what that really means. we know the problem is we aren't sharing data and known that for years. what are some of the steps we can take with our city agencies and school district to overcome those barriers? what i would be interested in having tiers where we name the students so if we know that 60 students are in three of our system, we actually identify who those students are and when we meet as, you know, this in these meetings, we talk about these students as a group, similar to what

commissioner kim: that's right. yeah. >> so what we've done is that some of the young people that have been truant know that -- especially with the northwest c.r.n. chris commissioner kim: that's a great use of c.r.n. >> so we've been providing the safe transportation they provide to get young people back to the center and reengage with their education. >> what's the break on elementary, middle, and high school students of the 46? do you have round numbers? >> they're all high school students. the 46 are all high school students. there are no middle school students enrolled at the moment. and the elementary students, they're not tark-focused. >> commissioner mendoza. commissioner mendoza: the other thing i want to add is that we have parents that bring their kids to tark which was really surprising. but there were a series of things that they were not successful in doing so they brought their own children down to ask for support. >> i want to piggyback on this a little bit. i know the board of ed members know this,

. >> commissioner kim? commissioner kim: i was going to add that i'm so happy that, hydra, you just mentioned the partnerships going on because i think to solve the issues we're talking about to deal with violence, to prevent it, to intervene it, to address it, we have to be able to first identify a partner, a neutral party that will be able to create this collaborative effort, this collaborative opportunity with multiple city departments. and then we need the departments that are experts in, let's say, mental health,s for, dph has taken the lead on addressing the needs overall for mental health of young people. so creating the partnership, identifying who is the lead, and moving on with the issues that deal with violence, that's really helped us, for example, in the truancy reduction initiative. tark is an anchor, a base to be able to look at as a possible solution. however, truancy reduction is something we had to communicate to all city departments and say this is an issue that we're facing, truancy, who

no one had heard of kim jong-un until a couple weeks ago. earlier i spoke with north korea expert gordon chang about who he is. >> he likes a lot of things western. he was educated in a swiss school but really the most important thing is that he is as ruthless and as calculating as his father, the current leader of north korea. he's one who got the dictator gene. >> is that the reason for him and not his two older brothers? >> well, they went through the two older brothers who for various reasons failed the test. kim jong nom, the eldest son, got caught trying to get into japan on a false dominican passport. that sort of ruled him out. kim jong choel, the youngest son is a little bit effeminate and then he had his moment in the sun he didn't last very long. there are factions within the regime supporting all three kids and apparently the won supporting the younger one has won out. >> someone educated in the west and familiar with western culture, should we expect that he'll be a different kind of leader than his father? >> absolutely not. hi

the country's leader kim jong il. the leader's third son was recently chosen to succeed his father. this was the first report of an inspection activity by kim jong un since he was appointed vice chairman of the central military commission of the ruling korean workers' party last week. korean central television said kim jong il was accompanied by ten other senior officials. they included his younger sister, kim kyong hui, and her husband, jang song thaek, who are thought to have been picked as kim jong un's guardians. the younger kim's participation in observing this military event is seen as the start of preparations for him to succeed his father, who has prioritized the role of the military in north korean politics. now, kim jong un is also likely to attend a military parade expected to be held on october 10th to mark the 65th anniversary of the founding of the korean workers' party. >>> international donors have pledged nearly $12 billion to the global fund to fight aids, tuberculosis and malaria. delegates from aro

an unofficial and elaborate coming out party for kim jong-un, the hidden prince, the son of kim jong-il who one day will become its leader. this is the world's first glimpse of him in action after being named a four-star general last month. just after touching down, we're whisked to pyongyang's stadium for the first event, the mass games. there are 100,000 people performing in a massive display of coordinated song, dance, and gymnastics. they practice eight hours a day every day for a year and there's never a guarantee that chairman kim jong-il will be in attendance. but tonight, he is. what's different this time is that kim jong-il appears alongside his son. when the show is over, north koreans in the audience applaud not for the performers, but for their leader. next up a massive military parade, billed as the country's largest ever. a goose stepping show of fire power by one of the largest armies in the world. kim jong-il said to be in frail health and rarely seen in public shows up again for the second time in two days. walking unaided, but with one hand on the railing. long live th

il sung, north korea's leader kim jong il and his son kim jong un watched the largest military parade in the country's 62-year history this past weekend. 16,000 troops. the parade takes place every five or ten years here in north korea but what makes this one different is us. the north korean government has invited the western media in not only to see the country flex its military muscle but to send an important symbolic message about its future. some of the missile say "defeat the u.s. military." it's a carefully choreographed rollout of kim jong un who's been tapped to take over when his 68-year-old father eventually steps down or dies. he's looking frail after a suspected stroke two years ago. kim jong un is thought to be in his late 20s, educated in switzerland, a huge fan of american professional basketball. but he's virtually unknown, even to the people here. he had never even been named by the official state media until last week. but the north koreans we spoke with always in the presence of our government minder were approving. will he make a good leader? "no question" said th

it would seem from the pageant i attended last night where kim jong il appeared alongside his son kim jung un, that there is something big going on here. this is the first public appearance we've seen of the father and the son since word has started to spread that perhaps kim jung un would be designated as the successor to kim jong il. a massive parade is scheduled for today, 16,000 troops, weapons put on display, and more importantly, the western media has been invited in to take a look at this. they clearly want to put kim jong il and and kim jung un in e public spotlight, which, as you know, is extremely rare, if not entirely unprecedented. >> glor: and, jim, there's been much discussion with about how this will increase the tension if and when this handover takes place, not just with south korea but also the u.s. >> reporter: well kim jung un is a complete unknown commodity so nobody knows how this is going to transfer in terms of what this does to the geopolitics of the region. >> glor: and, jim, so much focus here, not just because kim jong il is such a reclusive and at times od

kim jong-un is the son of kim jong-il. bob woodruff reports from north korea. >> reporter: rigid and well rehearsed north korea's formidable military machine was on parade. tens of thousands of troops, goose stepping with such force, the ground shook below their feet. i have been to this square many times, but i've never been able to get this close to the troops. they've got the navy, airport, infantry, artillery, doctors and nurses. and, of course, tanks. high above the square, the dear leader, a frail-looking kim jong-il, and a few feet away, his song, kim jong-un, now unquestionab unquestionably, the leader. what they did do which is new to us, they put the general between the two of them first saluted to kim jong-il and then saluted his son. until recently kim jong-un was an obscurity. never seen in public, a mystery even to north koreans. he is believed to be about 27 years old, the youngest of kim jong-il's three sons. his two older brothers passed over. regarding as unfate for command. >> he's most like him in terms

kim. president kim: yes. next is item p, consent calendar resolution zehred for speakers, there are none tonight. item s, board member reports. our first is from the budget committee, commissioner yes. commissioner yee: there were no -- commissioner yee. commissioner yee: there were no action items at our last meeting. we discussed the state budget updates just to get rolling in

commissioner kim. commissioner kim: i had a couple of questions, they were just quick questions. i was wondering what it meant on page numbers but on the system wide client profile, how do these -- how do client needs impact their life and you mentioned student recreational. i was wondering if you could be more specific about school issues meant and what does recreational mean? >> recreational really means how you use the time outside school. so whether they're using it in er activity, whether they're doing prevocational work or participating in meaningful activity or not, i guess that's -- so these are really kind of interview questions that we ask at the beginning at intake at the initial meeting with the family and with the youth themselves so we get information from them. this is really kind of putting in a rating, like a scale where it is rated in the report. so in terms of schools achievement, it talks about whether there is grade level achievement and then really kind of school performance. school behavior really refers to how is the student functioning in the school invol

high above the square, the dear leader, frail-looking kim jong il and to feet away, kim jong un, now unquestionably the next leader of north korea. the two sitting together have not spoken to the public or made any announcements the what they did do which is new to us is that the general and in between them, first saluted to kim jong il and then saluted his son. until recently, kim jong un, an obscurity, never seen in public, even to north koreans. believed to be 27. the youngest of jong's three sons. his three older brothers passed over believed unfit. >> kim jong il favors him, he is most like him, personality, temperament and everything else. just based on that. we are looking at a different north korea. sort of mini-me. >> reporter: kim jong un reportedly attended school in switzerland. knows some english. and last month the younger kim began his military career at four-star general. now he is poised to take the helm of the reclusive rogue state, armed with nuclear weapons. this plan of succession is cupping at a tense time for relationship north korea, south korea and the united

jong un to take over the youngest kim is only twenty something years old he has no experience when kim jong il was young his father kim il sung took twenty years to groom him for this position this is a rush job they are rushing this through for a person who is really has no experience and that's why they will point to sort of again for medieval times a region kim has appointed his brother in law to sort of hold things together until the youngest son is old enough to take over but how long will that last will the military want to have a greater say in what's going on will others want to fight for power how will react during a period of vulnerability these are all big questions with potentially big consequences and they'll have to be answered first before we see what kind of leader the youngest son turns out to be. staying with asia now this week pakistan blocked nato supplies to afghanistan after cross border fire by alliance helicopters killed three pakistani troops the convoys had to take an alternative route through the north but with deadly consequences on friday suspected militant

kim. president kim: yes. next is item p, consent calendar resolution zehred for speakers, there are none tonight. item s, board member reports. our first is from the budget committee, commissioner yes. commissioner yee: there were no -- commissioner yee. commissioner yee: there were no action items at our last meeting. we discussed the state budget updates just to get rolling in terms of our next school year budget development. of course at the time, the state had not passed the budget yet, so that was a very quick discussion. one of the concerns, and i still don't know, this should be a concern, but there was the governors' suggestion to cut all the unaccounted government funds which would have meant as much as $25 million that would have been cut out of our budget and so i don't think it happened but i don't know at this point. >> you would have heard. commissioner yee: i'm sure my friends would have notified me. and the nice thing was, you know, our local reps assure me that was not going to happen. so the

harry kim here? how about allen okamoto? is there any member of the public who would like to speak on this item? please come forward. thank you for your patience. >> and i'm here to speak on behalf of ms. ramirez. i have known nati for 25 years and worked with her on the police department in administrative, criminal, and regulatory matters. i do not think you could find a better choice. she has a tremendous passion for her work, and she will serve the citizens of san francisco very well. i urge her reappointment. supervisor campos: thank you, captain. >> i am here also in support of nati ramirez. i think she would be an exemplary member for the commission, and i have also worked for over 25 years in the d a's office, more closely when she worked with me on the consumer protection unit, handling consumer complaints and mediating them. i want to say in terms of her incredible, hard-working, compassionate energy, not only for doing community outreach, but trying to resolve individual problems, she is extremely compassionate whe

how much do we know about kim, really about kim jong un? nobody's really, from what i understand, been able to determine how old he is what his education has been? >> reporter: we think that he's 27, but he could be 28. we know that he's the youngest of kim jong-il's three acknowledged sons. he went to school in switzerland, as you pointed out, but he was there as the son of the driver of the north korean embassy, not as it's son of the leader of north korea. he idolizes michael jordan, just like his dad, but the one thing we truly do know is that he is as ruthless and cal grating as his father. he's the one son who's got the dick ka dictator gene. >> interesting. do you think he would rule the same, or will rule the same way as his father? >> reporter: i think he probably would, because first of all, it's the north korean system that's important. not so much the person who is on the throne. kim jong un has been exposed to the west. he likes things that are western, but so did his dad, and his dad is one of the most ruthless and most horrib

this is all about the success of power from kim jong-il to his son kim jong-un. what's happening now. >> reporter: you're right. good morning from pyongyang, north korea, in the center of kim il-sung square named for the founder. what you are witnessing behind me is what's being billed as the largest military parade in that country's history. it is officially the 65th anniversary of the founding of the ruling workers party of north korea. it is also a national holiday. but in effect what this really is is an elaborate coming out party for the man, the heir apparent, the man who will become the next leader of north key kim jong-un, the young son of kim jong-il. security is incredibly tight. there were numerous checkpoints. even our government mighters were checked. my notebook and pen were checked so security is tight. you're not allowed into this square without an invitation from the government but having said that, this is an extraordinary site here in pyongyang. there is no other way to describe it. some 100,000 people, members of the elite north korean society
