that deal was rocher between willie brown and the late rose pack, a chinatown community leader. luz: there're been many setbacks over the years can you talk about them? >> these projects are always very difficult. when you get into drilling deep tunnels there are all kinds of things that come up all the time in these projects. it is not unusual for them to be late and over budget. in this case, the delays have been repeated, the opening has been pushed back at least half a dozen times or so over the years. cost continue to mount. clearly they have some technical issues that have been much more difficult than they anticipated. luz: fast forward to today, 2020 to three years past the initial completion date. why is it being delayed again? >> there is a federal monitor, most of the money is federal government money, the federal government has a monitor that oversees the project. in the most recent report the monitor was concerned about leaks, concerned that the signaling system was not finished, and concerned they were not be able to get certain equipment for the overhead power sys

former san francisco mayor willie brown took to the stage saying they had joked about speaking at each other's funerals. >> she asks, before she passed on, as a matter of fact, she said, i am planning your funeral. >> [ laughter ] >> worried me just a little bit , but she followed up and said i don't intend you, make sure you show up on time at mine. >> we dug through our archives to find these videos of schultz at events over the years. schultz died of cancer at age 88 and in december. she was the widow of former secretary of state joe schultz who died in february of 2021. she worked with 10 san francisco mayors and hosted queen elizabeth ii and pope john paul ii. >> i'm on radio silence. >> sorry, i didn't get that message. >> the new shocking event in hollywood. bruce willis is stepping back from his career but his family made the announcement on instagram today. willis has been diagnosed with aphasia, a cognitive disorder which impact speech. donya bacchus has more. >> reporter: bruce willis is stepping away from his four decade acting career. his daughter posted the announcement o
