of the luxembourg? a financial hub and home to accomplish shel companies along with the european court of justice in the grand duchy. every one in 15 residence is a millionaire. in the shadows of the fancy stores and office buildings lies the home of chiffon and fit in. pretty good. alexandra met the 2 hun, gary, and man on the street and is determined to help them. step on and see it and live under a bridge together with their dogs, chilly and pity. they've been here for 7 years now. temperatures are expected to

drop to minus 7 tonight. but that doesn't seem to bother them much. because the mom i have a lamp with the power back on oh yeah. yeah. when do you for reading at night you knocked leaves and they say luxembourg treats homeless residence. well, given to you guys, when you get the health insurance card visa it gives one type of card. i can use it to go to the dentist and i can program and to other doctors tune that are no problem under it. and you don't pay for anything. costello's feelings tells us how he lost his teeth from years of drug abuse and that he was given these dentures free of charge here. yeah. that, that in hungary this is unthinkable. i'm. is there anything else that you

got a little late? i don't care where i live, whether hungry or here. here is better said you come. i have no family. familiar hungry is racist with crazy politicians. what do you think are crazy or automatic? they're autobahn is a horrible man. a few best said he, there is no racism or aggression here. okay, there's good money here. here's a good, a good that good, good there and good charities. cute it's heaven. is it must have an in german going to be high, so don't you haven't, haven't seen him of a few minutes? yeah. alexandra has spent the past 25 years looking after homeless people like stefan and fans. noise. that's one of the hoses. homelessness is so visible now self noise is what's also new. are the tensions with roma,

the organized spinning the bet law c o. we never had that before. the fact that he had the lunch by the become michelle on the roof of all, sometimes get a call from a shop owner of the of the, asking me to come over and take in a homeless person near their business advised us and the function code to dust a century, i mean they say as it hurts our image and image and it puts off customers. how is this mission in on the south kind for comment about come that's come, that's unbelievable. it sounds like they're saying come and clean up our streets. come, puts or sticks to austin's old body shop if i'm still feels like people are trying to sweep the issue, enter the round for a 2nd. last to alexandra runs a charity association called stem fund. us through us or voice of the street. charlotte sequester click of it gets an extremely high pressure job,

and it's right outside dozens of people in need are waiting for hot meals in the office. alexandra and her colleagues have to organize everything for the end of year party in 2 weeks time with hundreds of homeless people. and the guest of honor has just confirmed he'll be coming to the head of stage, grand duke, only of luxembourg. it's noon and a growing stream of people arrive at alexandra soup kitchen from the area around the railway station. most of the people in need have a migrant background, but they're also joined by long time lux inverters, a retired nurse, my side. i bet he is extremely worried about rising prices in the country and city most committee, even if you have a decent tension, it's getting harder and harder to lose year. yeah, i was, everything's really expensive. after even close the collider,

all is every single. yeah. this is why alexander feels compelled to set up a clothing outlet one floor up. so this is everything offrey declines as we get our clothes from collections. but we do regularly. i'm kind of simple comment on we also created this workshop to provide jobs. oh lord, it's a push i have to get alexander's team is helping josie. rodriguez find a sweater pants and a cab? yes, it is on there. last summer, just a left his home country of portugal to come here with big hopes to see me. but i got the, i want it to work here, but there are hardly any jobs or something. so what kind of work do you want happening for construction? so, but there's nothing to do right now. no, i don't know. he knows he'd be doing far worse. if it weren't

for voice of the street, he can't afford an apartment and is currently sleeping in a shelter located above a center for drug addiction. that might make them as uh, in store for the new luxembourg is a rich countries. but that doesn't guarantee you work at a value because things are going downhill with the construction sector. and if you don't have an address like me, but then you get practically 0 help from the state. no, no, and those are the worst case. i'll go back to portugal. when the construction industry was booming, here people actually say we're in big demand. now like many others, he's falling through the cracks. poverty and luxembourg is becoming increasingly visible. at the same time, the country tops the european g d p rankings. in 2022 looks and burgers earned an average of 119230 years. in germany,

the figure was 46150, and in france 38590 euros. the young exhorts is a painter and decorator in a similar situation too. shows a he's out of work to qualify for welfare. presidents have to be $25.00 piece $22.00. the moment time give solve. it's getting difficult to find anything these days. there are more and more foreigners coming in line comb, a job and they get everything blown up. they're starting to click smokers in luxembourg is are left to get by on their own work done by the all black um let me live and fuck, there are a lot of french people coming over to work because they don't earn as much back home to few for the um, the gave them down and they get jobs and places less than burger's don't stand a chance. initials. now they were basically less out in the cold and they get to

have a nice light is close. the, i'm in the home the, i'm not quite sleep. so the sized boxes are, they take care of the foreigners, but not us. you know? and that's why i say lots and burgers have been left high and dry and we can look as much as we want, but we won't find anything to do. next. no. janik is angry about increasing competition on the job market as well. just again, i'm the kind of person who likes working off. i don't want to live off the states often. so if i'm offered a job as a heating technician or a tyler and then i'll do it, i truly go dogs. please leave on the aisle even if i don't have any experience as long as you can pay me on some of those goods you on it isn't the only one who feels this way. many people on the street feel disadvantaged by switch to being threatened the time the government had their eyes opened and provided full housing benefits on the escape guns to the immigrant. you have all

these immigrants being welcomed with open arms and you don't have to be perfectly honest. our government doesn't give a damn about lots of murders or exams that emotional, but they don't really do anything for us. the stuff they're doing since becoming unemployed. younique's like the to hon, gary and stuff on and fans has been making his way to alexandra soup kitchen every lunch time where he can get a hot meal for 50 cents. and one floor up in the same building. the voice of the streets very own newspaper team, are working on their next edition. another little enterprise designed to give people like search coupler, a path back to work. almost like a script at 1st i go, i don't know how am i supposed to start writing articles sometimes if it was good. so i got down to it and started writing. the balance is at 1st at home and by hand

. want to give another so the editor was really impressed with a lot of the stuff and then they sent me down at the computer over there. and i started writing should the street paper covers a range of issues from conservative politicians, demanding a ban on begging to renewable energy. sash himself mainly writes about the housing shortage with tips from editor. and she's flayed as like brown. while the some of this, this is leticia a piece on it's a nice that traditional media don't cover in products and engineering is kind of, we're in touch with people and the problems with which we learned about 1st time and hopefully in the soon the 6 as long as the reports and the language, the same people understand what their priorities in mind. you know what there's question on within that source trends we hung up this. we are the voice of the street, isn't such a shipment of costs? sales and his colleague mary, lend fudge. are both welfare recipients. they know from personal experience,

what it means to be the 4 and the grand duchy of luxembourg. this the last it's shown it is tough when you don't have any money, but you can call people who do have money, can afford everything they want to spend money. but if you don't, it's difficult to get by really given even by thoughts cool. the on to this scapes of a new. it's not as if there's one group with everyone sticking together. like, no, it looks like it's solid. do you have the red line and the poor? and there's a big divide. the spice of books to distribute the street newspaper to subscribers here in the wealthy old town area of luxembourg city like the ministry of culture and stem fun. as plus with the newspapers from salvage and maryland's perspective. there's something rotten behind the sleek

facade. they want the government to take action against the rising hardship in 202219.4 percent of the population face poverty or social exclusion. the sounds believes the most pressing issue is the housing market crisis. he himself has chronic inflammatory back pain and is no longer fully fit to work. and he's also suffering from the aftermath of a sales marriage. and not that i do, i was married for 16 years suggested you know, 5 and when we got divorce, i'm just confused. i had to leave our apartment to help us do you kind of what the law here says that the husband has to go? because he's still out, is that still funk of the mountain whiskey? because he has someone who lives on social benefits known as

a ready in luxembourg. it's been difficult for him to find an apartment a month on testers, place the conversation started out really relaxed as clicking but when i said where i worked and what i earned, and i think in the mood, suddenly changes is easy and the guy said no use because rabies are considered anti social or too lazy to work, if it's a fundamental, oftentimes, you know, at the same time, so just neighborhood has become increasingly have and increasingly expensive. the federal can here, they want to turn this into a luxury neighborhood. there are apartments being built where you'll soon be paying 800000 euros for 35 square meter to him flat, to austin, to the house. but it's far too expensive. here to tell you this tiny room is sounds as home manjeet. as you can see, it's pretty humble that there is what i survive on. the microwave of that, do you me go over to his 18 year old son,

sleeps on the couch across the room. and this shares, single room apartment doesn't come cheap. this was, he is leaving the 2 months behind paying $770.00 euro is for 20 square meters. certainly i don't even have a kitchen discount. it's a good thing. i get along with my ex i would 50 so i can cook at her sometimes. otherwise you'll get it just be bachelor's meals. the microwave there can to it as of time because i don't know if that was interesting. so if you my mad at the government, because they don't do anything these, they do a lot of talking, like spending 210000000 on new apartments, one level, but where are they do? so here's the, the other. there's so many bacon places and there's dancer been able to,

i've registered for apartments all over the place, but nothing happens to be back in the private market is out of the question, does use my dish for alexandra? the housing shortage is an explosive issue that could divide luxembourg society even more, but she's determined to do something about it for years. so see all and just had been comparing it to a ticking time bomb. a situation that politicians have been ignoring for far too long, says antoine paku, an expert on the housing market in luxembourg. he says the main problem is an extreme concentration of land ownership and related real estate speculation, price of land, and the price of flats. over time, see if i can knock this is how much it is in offline for housing sitting here behind, acceptance owned by a small portion of the population. that's great. on the truth. our studies show that 0.5 percent of luck,

some burgers on 50 percent of the building land. also to get off the hosting ultimate leave are about 3000 wealthy families who have inherited these extremely valuable properties, but also called april 5th. i'm, you know, they have no interest in building housing fix. yeah. yeah, i'm on that off. i mean, a said, a general question. you mentioned the dynamic economic development means printer properties will increase in value by 5 or 10 percent a year anyway. of all deciding c set deep all over the last 8 years. property prices have sort by 74 percent and rents by 41 percent. recently the government has started to build affordable social housing. it's a policy change that's come forward to late, says antoine pet. cool. so at the moment that locks,

and there's only 2 percent of the housing in the country is affordable housing. so this, this is extremely low for, for the standards of europe, especially for neighboring countries. who have, you know, been investing that is kind of housing for the last 100 years. luxembourg is starting extremely late and from an extremely low level. so ideally, we should get this sector up to 152025 percent. he wants to see people like savage, janik, angels, a spirit, the consequences of outdated policy. patrick claim on can also speak from experience. he spent 5 years on the streets, and apartment was the luxury he couldn't afford. patrick got lucky. he pays a relatively modest $580.00 euros a month for an apartment, including a kitchen, bathroom and basement. a subsidized flat, provided by alexandra is organization kept me

guessing trustworthy. i couldn't cope with the situation. i was in at the time and got involved with drugs and others. but luckily i got help from alexandra and stem fun dish to us. and of course, they said you're not an idiot. ok. and it's not too late to make something up. your life comes. that's my last i'm named vendor yet. otherwise you'll never get out of this vicious cycle. and if it's highest, these levels. patrick's hard to began when his ex girlfriend died in a tragic accident. this was followed by alcohol, cocaine, and heroin abuse. is 5 single mom. i was an addict, especially to what you might not notice now is that i was deep into drugs to because of my ex is death shop. the executive team knew middle 5th process. i went through a lot of things on the street that give some info and then there was this place you could go and you were told just you're in good hands. the cost will be and there's someone who will listen to you that patrick's been clean for 14 years and now

spends his afternoons working for the voice of the street pointed without them might still be on the street with a rather i wouldn't be here and i'm grateful for their health, for please don't. voice of the street also runs this laundry and has a working arrangements with a major supermarket chain digging . we pick up fruits and vegetables, everything and bring it here. and once we've checked it, we distributed among various groups of toner every day, michelle con righty drives to the biggest supermarket in luxembourg. it's located in the wealthy business district of the capital's carriage bound area to collect food right before it expires with the help of volunteers.

mendoza. i'm retired and used to be in charge of environmental issues at the store . they don't care about sustainability and social issues. we can't allow food to end up in the trash either. it's better to donate it to people in the sun. you know, why don't maybe put this in it when i was a manager here was this guy always told alexandra that when i retired, i'd help out as a volunteer the big one. if i miss you on guys, that's how i ended up inch them from this task. you that simple that they need volunteers as to what you get them off to. and this is my way of making

a small contribution for us going to spell, they put the trouble cut off the food recycling system, which insures the coal chain is maintained was introduced by de luca. your voice of the street is largely funded by tax payers. but donations are also important. a group of managers from the big retail company has just arrived for a visit. i need you to focus people. okay, and let's go, that's good for these visitors have donated a vacuum ceiling machine. and i was thinking about becoming more involved i don't think i've got the 14 tulsa food in mind. the function that's not bad. it

keep 14 tons that don't get thrown away and get used in our soup kitchens. they make 800 meals a day across the country, and i'll say this to all. the kitchens are staffed by people who used to be unemployed. a lot of them are refugees, like how soon do lead me and hit ok. the user is dies from the dice sites. i'm headed up to 2015, but i'm the director of the water. can some companies here they learn the skills that will prepare them for the local job market. one story above alexandra is reading some disturbing news.

initially they'll never succeed with that and they tried it last time. i had no way 9 people come to the store. the government has passed a ban on begging to beaten that and been disabled. and if it's banned and lots of people will be forced into a life of crime that hopefully resist fail if they're shifting the problem somewhere else than the the pin the what else would i didn't do, but we'll still see the people either at gas stations or in supermarkets, but what they're really saying is, we don't want poor people in the old town where the rich people are, who is used to high school or to of. how does that come before? i feel like don quixote fighting windmills comes i've gotten used to this over the last 25 years. yeah. but we've never had this many people before. what size is a sophie? we need funding to be able to function with the comments on like the color the next

day, alexandra has a couple of very high profile visitors, arriving for the voice at the streets end of year celebration. the grand duke and his wife the head of state, face to face with people who are unemployed, living in poverty and with addiction. for alexandra, it's the most important and symbolic moment of the year. 400 people in need have gathered here more than any previous year. d g and other volunteers are on hand to serve the food and drinks that's there so it's pretty, pretty secure. i want to be since he cannot be packed so then the i'm for me personally, we don't pay these people enough attention. you will not and don't talk about them enough. yeah. for sure we have a lot of volunteers,

but there aren't enough people. we need to do more the grand duke of the takes a seat at the 1st table right across from janik. the . he's eager to tell the monarch about things from his perspective. property prizes used to be lower and now they just keep on going up. yes. so the housing market is a huge problem. we'll send them corners, get more than lux inverters. i don't think that's right. and i told him that i also said, i hope things change here is obviously just because it can go on like this. people the janik is angry or at immigrants, then the government even though it's the government that hasn't done anything about

the whitening gulf between the rich and the poor, the minister of social security is also one of the guests. what does she have to say about the housing shortage? it's economic on the board, the law of supply and demand, the amount it doesn't always work out on its own. so you need initiatives to regulate the market. so they have, they've been successful. not yet. alexandra says that imposing a ban on bagging is fighting the poor instead of fighting poverty. here in the wealthiest country in europe, the police, they've gone to the almost they've done since, but of course luxembourg can't eliminate poverty around the world. i know that but i'm not a politician. besides, i try to help people who are in a bad place and you know, and if we lock some burgers aren't able to help people who are suffering then which

country can some kind of the people in trucks inject, was trying to feed the city center. and the straight pieces, the, the around the world, more than $100.00. 30000000 people us we of mine

because no one should have to make up your own mind. dw, may 4 mines the do you want your pots to track you every move? is that a safety measure or creepy, installing spyware on the pot, and a smart phone is becoming a thing in relationships. well, what will explain when that's a problem and how to protect yourself, and have you ever said st jude to your voice assistant suite of the algorithm like a post kits belief system flags via the r alexa, feel n sync like humans, according to new studies. let's talk about why that meant us also on the show. deep fix get things better and better. yep, there was no bullet proof way to identify them now. so.
