Hello and welcome. We start with an apology from americas top Infectious Diseases expert Dr Anthony Fauci after he criticised uk regulators over their rapid approval of a new coronavirus vaccine. Britain on wednesday became the first country in the world to approve the Pfizer Biontech vaccine for mass use. Speaking earlier to cbs, dr fauci said the uk was not as rigorous as the us in its vaccine approval process. But when he spoke to my colleagues earlier on this channel, dr fauci backtracked. The point i was really trying to make, i did not make it well, which is why i welcome to the opportunity to get on your show and say it came out wrong. In the United States, there is such a considerable amount of tension of pushing back on the credibility of the safety and efficacy that if we in the United States had done it as quickly as the uk did it, and thats no judgement on the way uk did it, and even though my statement did come across looking that way, if we had a, for example, approved it
Major Major Initiative within , the cold war. T minus 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0. Ignition. We are in the campus of the university of North Carolina at chapel hill. I am standing in front of the morehead building, home of the morehead planetarium, which is now the morehead planetarium and science center. John moreahead, iii is from a famous North Carolina family. His family was the governor of North Carolina. John morehead the third attended carolina for undergraduate school and chemistry made an , accidental discovery in a Chemistry Lab as an undergraduate that ultimately led to the founding of Union Carbide and he became an extremely wealthy man, and he came up with this idea. What he did as a leading Science Education contribution was he built the planetarium. When we opened in 1949, the morehead planetarium was the first planetarium in the south, so his contribution was significant. We are also the first planetarium in the world on a university campus.

Lieu of the project sponsor constructing a new wholesale flower market. Should the flower market vendors and management exercise this option, the project variant would then contain about 2 million square feet of office, 91,000 square feet of retail, 23,000 square foot childcare facility and 950 square foot Community Facility and lower amounts of parking, loading but increased bicycle Parking Spaces and an increased approximately 38,000 square feet of Public Open Space. So how would they repurpose the ground floor that was once thought of as a flower market site . So with this design, what they would do is first they would widen the pedestrian to increase the amount of open space. Some of that ground floor would be converted to atgrade loading with the flower mart, much of the loading is in the underground garage, so instead they bring some of those uses up to street level, reduce the amount of excavation and belowgrade space. And then the 23,000 square foot childcare facility would be
Yeah. And in terms of the oversight of that and who are you partnering with to actualize that . Was labor involved directly in negotiations of this . We negotiated that with the office of economic and workforce development, but i understand that the program was crafted with a lot of input from labor. Correct. Its a program that is used in other Development Agreements as well. And the street cleaning piece of this, again, just a similar question around is that money just to the city and then the city will figure out how to use that . Or is it more specific . Before you actually i dont want to interrupt but i want to hear that from city staff.

Im sorry, i have not found out but we can direct it. It goes to the city. I just dont know specifically what the fund is that it goes into. But i can try to do that. [please stand by] ye
