City Council Special Meeting - Nov 09 2020

Efforts to end the Russia-Ukraine war are playing out overseas. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky says the biggest problem with the U.S.-led peace talks in Geneva over the weekend has to do with land. Zelensky told the Swedish parliament today that legally recognizing and giving up land to Russia would violate the principle of sovereignty and territorial integrity. President Trump has given Ukraine less than a week to agree to a 28-point plan that calls for Kyiv [[ KEEV ]] to cede territory to Russia and limit the size of their military.        Georgia Governor Brian Kemp will soon set a special election date for a congressional district representing parts of metro Atlanta. He's tasked with deciding the timing for a race to fill Marjorie Taylor Greene's seat. The Republican announced that she was resigning from her seat on January 5th. Greene says her recent feud with President Trump and the threats to her family's safety because of that were both driving decisions.        Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem is announcing a billion-dollar investment into new technology and security systems at airports across the country. Noem's announcement came as she stopped at multiple airports over the weekend, in part to hand out ten-thousand-dollar bonus checks to TSA employees who worked diligently and without pay throughout the recent, record setting government shutdown.        A woman who as a child stabbed her friend in an attempt to appease the fictional "Slender Man" character is back in custody. Morgan Geyser apparently cut off an monitoring bracelet and left a group home in Wisconsin. She was found Sunday night at a truck stop in a small Illinois town just south of Chicago. Geyser had been in a mental institution since the 2014 stabbing but a judge earlier this year approved a conditional release plan that allowed her to live in the group home.        It's one of the busiest travel weeks of the year, and state transportation officials are urging patience on the roads. Triple A is projecting more than 80-million Americans are going to travel over the next few days.        Billie Eilish's 3D concert film will be released next year by Paramount Pictures. The singer posted on Instagram Sunday that the film, co-directed by herself and James Cameron, will hit screens March 20th. The film captures Eilish's "Hit Me Hard and Soft" tour that just wrapped up in San Francisco.
