the news breaks. on the mail man city and the story builds to be forced to leave the room pissed me off when people need to be heard women and girls are being bought and given away in refugee camps al-jazeera has teams on the ground to bring you the winning documentaries and live news and. i got to commend you on hearing is good journalism on air and online. hello again i'm a tennis into her and these are the top stories here at out his era it was always expected to be of victory the question was how many voters were turned out for russia's president selection the number was higher than the last election and president putin got seventy six percent of the vote despite calls for a boycott by the opposition leader alexina valmy lawrence lee has our report from

moscow. by suma they called his election such as the status of blood in their putin in russia as he was in reality little more than a coronation the first the secret you could be used with. it's very important to maintain this unity to attract those who could have voted for overcome today's we have to stand together shoulder to shoulder we have to think about unity not about differences we should think about the future of our people about the future of our country we are destined for success. it was never a contest to single out the overwhelming percentage of votes cast and more than six out of ten russians voted for the kremlin it went more or less to plan of course russians knew perfectly well that when the television told them that they had to go out to vote because it was a civic duty what they really meant was you have to go and vote because we have to get putin back in the kremlin that meant this wasn't rated election about who was

going to win but it was about but how much several instances of fraud were caught on camera harmless looking old ladies voting twice or stuffing reams of papers into books is not enough to alter the outcome but for alexina valmy banned from standing in the election evidence of a corrupt vote so thousands of people went to vote and out of curiosity i went on twitter to check on the candidates to see if they are writing about violations they are behaving as if nothing is happening people who are observing these elections keep writing about other violations and they are complaining about it and the people who are remaining silent don't care about this they are candidates it's just that kind of election i guess. in delhi even took part in the campaign and was entirely absent from the t.v. debates but during the election videos surfaced on the internet like this one which gave a glimpse of how the kremlin wants people to think. the film depicts a man who tells his wife he can't be bothered to vote something which putin himself

had warned against the man that has a nightmare in which black africans suddenly appear in the armed forces to his horror the homosexual in the kitchen the message is clear is day this is what you'll get if you don't have putin in charge and of course it's coupled with a promise from the president spend more and more on the military what he. put in would very much like to normalize ties with the west but his personality means he can't show weakness he can't be seen to be giving up yet he understands very well that with international isolation his regime is open to risks and dangers his fourth term begins with a flat out diplomatic crisis with the west's events which are uncertain and fast moving but political change in russia continues to move as fast as the ice on the moscow river largely al-jazeera in most of investigators from the chemical weapons what stalled have arrived in the u.k. to test the nerve agent used to poison

a former russian spy moscow has dismissed u.k. allegations that it was behind the attack on surrogates going to paul and his daughter in the english city of souls three rusher insists it doesn't even possess the nerve agent that was used. activists say syrian government forces of arrested hundreds of people as they fled eastern goods or over the past few days they say mostly men between the ages of twenty five and forty were targeted tens of thousands of civilians have fled the rebel held on place in recent days and a journalist covering the conflict in has reportedly been detained by pro-government forces in damascus how the g. eight has been a field correspondent for the opposition network orient news since twenty thirteen the network says it lost contact with him on saturday morning and has since learned he's being held in the capital along with his family arrive today those are the

latest headlines from us here at al-jazeera coming up next it's europe's forbid colony.

the european parliament brussels where the people of europe send their representatives. because of the boxes of the of the m.p.'s. they belong to the people who will jump at these to hold the european union to account. a look you can hear us look inside. what do they do here. nothing. i am there's a hugely important debate about the future all to european union today and i'm trying to see. i mean it's impossible for them to people but it is the european problem and it's not accountable. like even inflation the parliament you have a balcony with ordinary people can come every day and look what's happening but here. the closest i can get is the press room where we get to see our representatives on t.v. . but then the european parliament is unique. normally parliaments the wise their

own laws but here they can only accept or reject legislation from the unelected european commission. seven years ago it's one of the reasons you believe there nigel farage says britain well it's to leave the e.u. leave the euro and just days after the break sit while he's relishing his success well i have to say you're not laughing now are you. know that as a policy to impose poverty on greece and the rest of that trade you've done that really well by stance by deception without telling the truth you wouldn't take the boat that i gave here the first thing is the right everything was put out products even if you know people see a siphoning as much as i do you know if. i may not agree with what he stands for

but that's the paradox of europe today that's what i'm saying so what has course he's saying are against europe. one question yes how do explain the rise of he'll keep on trying less and you'll become europe. i don't know how do you mean smart how do you explain the rise of i must mean how do you explain the rise of some reason you know how do you explain it's a failing over opinion i want to turn yes i can see that. you are getting the growth of houses across the political spectrum. growth of rejectionism of this model because the model doesn't know me so what do we have then i mean if you have nation states because of nation states borders walls if there isn't this dangerous oh and democracy but where is the moccasin what is not here. so i'm going on a journey to understand how come the far right can claim to be deceivers democracy .

you know if you sold one we saw how europe is facilitating gets on colonization privatization the extraction of resources and secret trade deals like the t.t.p. . the nature of agreements is a construction of ultra neo liberal system will cement culture in the early release them in europe. and the financial forces behind the politicisation are driving governments into wars abroad. which in turn are producing refugee flows that challenge an already anxious population. the major decisions that determine how life is lived are made without popular participation and that causes anger frustration and. contempt for the parliamentary system each

to erratic and often frightening reactions that's couple little severe economic growth. in this episode and examine how the anger and frustration generated by this wailed politicization of p.b.s. the future of the in democracy as we know. in november two thousand and fifteen terrorists attacked paris killing one hundred thirty people leaving over four hundred injured. attacks on brussels airport and nice followed all carried out in the name of i.c. . so how did you don't make sense of this we discussed it as coming out of norway or in explicable acts committed by evil people because of their adherents to a religious ideology. but just because a neck this inexcusable doesn't mean it's inexplicable.

non tomsky is a prolific writer only international relations and the riches of terrorism in the good news. these are people from the. miserable suburbs or. its internal problems that are leading to terrorist attacks again people with the people involved people been picked up by the police at least . very few shallow islamic groups there are drawn to jihadism kind of a way out of their group ration and humiliation. internal for. the belgian and terrorist attacks were carried out by a man from brussels. he somehow was runs

a youth center here in the district of small and. i find nice to meet you yes welcome to a little bit of things when your show is around a bit yeah. you'll encounter any kind of discrimination maybe already in your childhood because you are of my story there were lots of first in my school. and the like the time i just screening posting sabbaths must need. to trust. to believe that some of the terrorists for committed the terrorist attacks in madrid in paris and also here where from well i'm back is the level of discrimination higher today after the. terrorist attacks. when you learn a yes or no because i tell you of course after that that's we said like morning which is that oh no nothing in the machine oh no nothing in the morning big i mean

when you see the people who committed so i thought i'm not really you missed him we've done this a lot of addition there were people let's some months before there was the need to get drinking alcohol so the problem is not the stand the problem is the money big the problem is the do you feel the problem is money in the are both are the feelings that that we did and did not do as politician and as media also that's that make them feel that those people so it's clear that from the society so they were just like real enough to be onboard it in some in some extreme areas. but could this just be an exultant i want to find some hard evidence. so we arrived at the free university of brussels and we're trying to say very is

the office of dr karim karim has been studying the experiences of muslims in belgium including discrimination and radicalization. here this. what we're observing versions that if you have more oaken or turkish or freakin background you have between twenty and thirty percent less chines to get a job. even if you have a nice a or degree is there any date and what is your explanation for those people who are second and third generation for turning to a more radicalized version of islam we aren't in societies which have difficulties to provide and to produce sense we always see that there is no more difference between left and right. they are answering questions sometimes in a very. many care and white and black.

ways to deal with answers but there are answering these issues and answer they are providing sense and if we don't understand things we are not going to fight in kingston sound this idea into trouble. and could we explain the recent rise of europe's far right in the same way as a desperate search for signs. across europe openly xenophobic parties are the rising political force. in austria presidential candidate or but author stopped on to refugee sentiment. you know he might. be. even in germany the alternative if your daughter party are now winning seats in the regional parliament.

in an attempt to eliminate them many parties of the center of the op that they're sort of for be sure one of the canonical bizzle to many of the fifth extraordinaire to secure a false spot i mean she was somebody the lesser of the small the farmer. do like to get extremist. as you go. but france is broke up and didn't neutralize the anti me gratian front. instead it helped legitimize their leader very lappin who is now a serious contender for the next presidential election. if she wins she's pledged to take france out of the new. it's easy to dismiss the supporters of the far right is ignorant racist but the current reality is much more complex. in slovenia and two refugee

sentiment has boosted the far right. but it's a symptom of a deeper crisis says philosopher slow he got going to. get with this. i think it is absolutely crucial for example when you talk about. immigrants and so on did you read eat as a symptom as a reaction of what dish were on in today's big global capitalism dead sticky don't moralize don't just accuse ordinary people how can they be shallow and so once listen i can don't tell me understand a french ordinary worker who feels threatened don't talk just. properly but the question what went wrong in society that opened up the space for. immigrant rights you.

know because possibly europe's most and of of the arctic. and the turks largest in the hungary in parliament want to be sure. when you meet them you don't want that what they've met people you've got a good thing is that somebody that knew you when i was the. talk i want you to let me get it ok let me get it he said it was difficult for you and your honey. bee of course have told you. yes and like most of europe's far right alongside their intolerance of foreigners france promises of economic protection. after twenty six years of transition from communism hungary remains one of the poorest countries of the e.u. . there are still nearly one million people living in homes without electricity and heating.

and your because young leader gobbled one note staring. sort of when a woman a crucial one woman i could ask one or two for you are on the macross you can show up early because a ship has a lot of locals actually cause more than you cause a shabby chic out of the. your in question for anybody to get over your mouth but i'm with you not so nice to get some of them on your side was or was beyond skin tissue or to me. how do you explain the success of your big in hundred year because i'm the one with your son or my actually going to show up with the great bottle or my good but i couldn't for the summer for young not as i'd year. long do any. number to get them. back east at the mc show. i want to go when there are so i'm going to live in what your apartment at the burn will become about of. course is that you will be actually fellow she just

the way you'll be going to you because i would have been one where you're my door so i'm going to. do more your field all automatic assault on a facility of say just on i mean i don't shock a shochet when i look john i was shocked. i mean best that she does any good from bad that i mean heat. and it would get i think a study that if you met with saudi prince i and like in other parts of europe the big success is pushed under is prime minister viktor orban forwarded to the right. the best friend i got your hair out he took us around that that what i meant that's got to be star shot. at you from your getty a lush and usually it's more got a problem when i'm sceptical to what i could teach. so in two thousand and fifteen or build a fence to keep the refugees fell out of hungary i moved many well from. other

countries across europe quickly followed in the borders to see. my. name. this is post fascism says hungary and political scientists rush but how much. a new form of the ideology that can operate within feet markets and democracy. the classic condition that this coming this time from the right it is very successful in which public opinion. accepts. that there isn't in and then out there's an interior and there's an exterior and even the remaining old left is defending the ins and rejecting the house i'm in that respect.

even the center left is being conquered by this logic basically in economic terms no liberalism on the one hand is accepted. of the enemy towards the east. call it russia will call it is loans accepted. and the abandonment of the. unemployed ill that cetera populations within even the course countries who excepted. but if we accept the logical finster now. if you create another to blame for our economic taylor's. i read not also creating the conditions for out three terry and fascism. was a for agnes heller whose father was killed in auschwitz thinks we need reminding about europe's blood of european leaders who are totally blind and even have

a difficult about the european past europe into twentieth century has murdered that hundred million europeans or european countries who are either dictatorship or subjected themselves to dictatorships either now to some of us fascism or stalin you some so much you mean democracy in europe this get almost nothing and even after checking for divorce then you but i do not consistent that they develop the invest and euro they developed all invest time that was the case in spain in portugal in greece ever dictatorships a democrat liberal democracy is no euro and they pretended that it was our tradition it was centuries or fish was it not. economists can christian people get to share each and every year at this point liberal democrat is fantastic the moment economy does not show that rare that

a my goodness there are problems then immediately it is falling apart people people don't want to tell you more they call for food and they close their leader and it call for a strongman or song work. and it's not just in europe that people are turning to so-called strong men in the hope of the konami protection. however deceptive that may turn out to be. but the anger and frustration at europe's financial colonization also took a very different form. a recent example of it is to be. counting parents. when president obama tries to introduce a new law that loses french labor rights and makes war more precarious. the usual

demonstrations lead to something else. a look at pace. for the last two months hundreds of activists have gathered here every evening for what they call they believe that. the night stand you don't need to ask to see. you so i. asked him if the centuries the general assembly were up to five thousand people gathered to discuss how to solve problems. the refugee crisis for precarious for and their environment. even when divided to respect. such an occupation has different committees a committee for ecology kmita protocol nomi a committee for legal matters and so on. to conceptualize discuss different proposals already yes and then they come with the proposals and the ideas to the general assembly and then the general assembly all of them together in a process of their liberation they decide on the next. economy committee

wanted to be interviewed together what are the topics you are specifically your group dealing with the economy commission the first of all commission is two hour or two people to be appropriate to be devout debates which is started by it's just. ok why do you think it makes sense to gather here and you know in this square there is rainfall and so on if we have already parliamentary democracy and parliaments and institutions. and members want to do good and plus the first good or third to look down in all the. downside to the complex. and when you take. your piece of paper mr patel to say least you have . to offer it all up and plus any real. numbers one in your

community is good for going online will be just that there will be seats on the issues. in a pretty. good . case if you see. what people are lacking in representative mike democracy to put it very simple is representation they don't feel represented in the people who is. joining the. most of them said you know i don't even go to vote anymore because i don't want to vote for a lung i don't want to vote for the pen. they realize that the real power is not even anymore in the national governments the real power is that the europe rule. of fear in the european commission european central bank institutions where all of these people who are here tonight are not represented at all.

it's the same realisation that sparked the two thousand the level of resistance which spread from sin that must be very real. and words of the soul in spain across europe to bulgaria romania believe in even free. the from. in bosnia the citizens assemblies went beyond making easy to satisfy demands and like all colonial resistance movements demanded the right to rule themselves. what you can see in the european union today is that we have at least two directions one directions we have seen in hungary and in other countries when we have the rise of fascist right wing extremist movements what we can see in paris today is that we have also an attempt of direct democracy which is not linked to right wing extremism but it is linked to the critique of the labor

law which was the trigger for for this process it is linked to solidarity movement to try to help the refugees and he said it is a creation of a new political imagination. and in part two we look at where dead could take us. the nature is news as it breaks it's estimated ten million children of school age are still roaming the streets of baghdad with details coverage children what i'm off base and number of serious problems from chronic child malnutrition to three in poverty from around the world trade one is last us lawsuit in two thousand and thirteen by then needs more than twenty billion dollars in legal fees. we are witnessing around the world this hungry money which is only looking at how

to make the next profit devastate economies devastating ecosystems putting a price on the protection of nature green economy is sound good but it was all about privatized sation of nature should our environment be for sale what we're trying to do this destroyed people to stabilize the country giving them a financial incentive to do that pricing the planet at this time on al-jazeera. hello again i'm martine dennis in doha and these are the top stories here it out is there. in his cruise to victory in sunday's election for another six year presidential term his victory was widely expected as russians overwhelmingly voted for him all independent monitors reported hundreds of irregularities electoral officials say none was serious investigators from the world chemical weapons

watchdog of a arrived in the u.k. to test the nerve agent used to poison a former russian spy moscow has dismissed u.k. allegations it was behind the attack and said gay scriptural and his daughter in the english city of souls free both sides have expelled diplomats in response rusher insists it doesn't even possess and the agent that was used activists say syrian government forces have arrested hundreds of people as they fled. over the past few days they say mostly men between the age of twenty five and forty were targeted tens of thousands of civilians have fled the rebel held own clave in recent days the government stepped up its attacks only single to last month and now controls almost eighty percent of the territory. and a bomb blast in syria's afrin region has killed at least seven civilians and four rebels from the free syrian army the explosion happened after turkish forces backed

by syrian rebels took control of the city on sunday turkey launched its offensive on f. really in january to drive kurdish y p g fighters out who it says terrorists britain the european union have agreed to a nearly two year transition period after the u.k. leaves the bloc next march the east chief negotiator michel barnier says e.u. rules would continue to apply in britain during that transitional period and this will give both sides time to put a new trade deal in place they also agreed on what they called an emergency backstop on nov nala and to prevent a hard border if no other solution is found. two people have been injured in an explosion in the u.s. state of texas it's believed a package detonated when it was opened in a residential neighborhood of austin police are investigating whether it's connected to three packages bombings earlier this month that killed two people and whether racism may have been

a motive right you have today those are the headlines is go back now to europe's forbidden colony. that i like to call default the day part two we all saw the movie part one remember how the movie the crowd. a storm has the power to the people over ok if only should beat i'm ready to shame my mother into slavery ok she's dead but even if she would be alive to a feel i'm cold. the thought of in debt that part of to do but what chip and then ok people take over what you lost how do they change this state what did they go.

it's a great question and maybe one that political to recant and. maybe instead the answer is to be found in how ordinary people are coping with the crisis . in greece some of the energy from syntagma square has come here. what we can see here looks like a very ordinary market think seem like any other market in europe you can see people selling not people selling for people selling cheese. but it's not an ordinary market it's a very unique market. a complete horrible economy is being created in me because of the financial crisis. it's called the normie the men movement and it's a response to greece's powerful supermarkets who try to increase prices while paying farmers less so some decided to cut out the middleman and sell basics like eggs and potatoes directly to the people. the big difference is customers order

everything you know the ones true the organizers and come here before picking up their goods. and it's changing shopping habits as people grouped together to buy cheaply in bulk. it's visit today now some business not so good because i'm usually with like one thousand dollars meal really in one month on what is the amount of money which is circulating you know sophistical it must. have had some on the order of sixteen rows he says here less than fifty forty five specifically because people have a very very sharp monitors were getting worse and they're getting worse because of the crisis. the community run market also asks everyone to help support those in need because the producers have to give it their standard of the sales in food for the shelling that is what is the percentage they get

a voucher i think. so this is the basket of solidarity all of you know that will come in but not from the producer everyone of the consumer who comes here i may if your see wants. some formed for the solidarity when this more this movement of solidarity started we had the just ten families now after for now more on those. we have one hundred and forty families that are going about the shows so no no no and we don't want to stay tuned for because this is a. movement of people of peoples who have the power. they feel the power back they couldn't rely anymore on the government and on the other kind they didn't want to sell their goods for the supermarkets but i find

particularly interesting as someone who was born in yugoslavia. we should experimental it's all called self management socialism is that all of this functions as a kind of self management although when you speak to the people. they wouldn't describe themselves as socially. you see such things it gives us hope that included things could go differently. you can see why the no middleman movement wants to stand apart from the state but to bring about large scale change done citizen led movements need to be braver. i mean humble germany the heart of the. ok an emperor to hear about one such movement that's profoundly changed the city. germany has a very active environmental movement as demonstrated in actions like this one in

two thousand. it was a protest against what in fact the swedish company had allowed repeated accidents to cure at nearby nuclear power plants one hundred twenty thousand people joined hands to link the two power stations together a distance of over one hundred kilometers. after that protest numbers felt empowered to take on powerful companies as well as the state under the leadership of the huns. we came here very. evident and i'm on funfair many of humble even just one on one less humble who might want to get the person to say yes to. such a thing was previously in private ownership right yeah. really. happy. to stephanie's yeah. into nine hundred ninety s. that you urged countries to liberalize calls for privatized their energy markets.

this vattenfall took over much of germany's energy supply including cumbersome electricity grid. until the because campaign convinced the city to buy back. the reasons i asked as you know family time via intel isn't. under scrutiny because i made this isn't that slightest no damage yet when it ten thousand on the issue of this so i just refer to folks in charge of a few not fifty thousand tried to do. and what were the main arguments of the complaint. and you know it's a innocent john paul fundament busy friday and even though i know that some can you know even send a complex as i hope on the net search for your number and if it been the color orange does this. couple as a better fit in for the office when dozens of michelle homeless.

but they're only managed a narrow win in the referendum with just fifty point nine percent in favor. probably because they were up against the entire establishment the mayor the main century left and right parties the energy companies and even the unions. as a share in the we should often does the humble. gangs of you don't stand for when you take on an entree reasoning and. via poor government program one sees in that soviets looking forward and thus am yeah that's been requested to not. and in two thousand and sixteen hamburg bought back then and there's a great so now its profits go back to the city. the gas and heating networks will follow soon one nightmare for the energy companies and their investors.

in sendai home who fear that in and facing me fish it's just fired for at the nexus one and one hundred bystanders needs to assume the angst to copy tides for encourage that as it just wasn't and had some point. after the fall of the venerable there was huge enthusiasm for companies ations and free market ideology what we have seen in home work is that maybe today the city a challenge and we have a new kind of enthusiasm which isn't was just to take back the public message. since then one hundred and seventy german towns have taken back control of their energy create. some as a result of pressure from citizens some through the policies of forward thinking mayors. in the former east germany one such mayor has come up with a unique way of handling the refugee crisis.

on my journey i've seen refugees forced to leave in appalling conditions and defined as the political other. but in friedland's they have taken a different approach. and. this was once a busy town full of factories processing regional a cultural produce but the fall of the berlin wall so factories closed and the drops leave. merivale for a block of the century right christian democrats is a former factory worker the term into save the. it's sort of a big if i goes over to luckily for friedland the mare has plenty of energy.

as a hero i know of course between washed out. two zero up and down in order to pursue vice. a man in tamer. and in a companion mentioned i would compile your eyes and yes i believe. when the berlin wall came down west germany privatized the state on the east german economy enterprises deemed uncompetitive verse old for a pittance and close to even now is a world of these ever for i get taken. to fourteen and thus flight of our hoods a man does find a niche so if i'm in a normal force has i dug hard invest but i own feelings are your own flim i understand that we are seeing between up to the gold one. in

and as that's an hour. despite attempts to attract new industry most young people move away so the population here is shrinking and getting older isn't the one unfairly mentioned. and as one kind of middle and unfeeling address there so the mayor had an idea to both help refugees in need and revive his town. by doing in. the bottom slowly beaten to the mention of honor and victims with the kinds in our exact arms of this one snitch killing and. it's time to see the content we just because i'm the animal i need to shift the day beyond what it is now that that's very vital nets for one of. the hundred flight ships he didn't figure into our lives are the most marked we are doing. the shiningly on is often seen posts and flood sponsored quotes and. i'm convinced court.

so they've asked for more than the both of refugees and they're even trying to mine their bribery to convince them to stay. there. quoting exchange you can see this is the place where the richest. you can get free this is sort of. your no no you have no gain now yes everyone smile that oh this is gross. i may feel no conflict think i wish i was there i stick to. one thing you know you are so fucking that here now yeah come you know thinking that they can do. that much my my crushing they all yeah yeah and he is going to come king and almost. talking to the mayor you begin to understand why uncle america was keen for germany

to accept so many syrian refugees here bombing anslinger but i dislike him gusta me this good but i have already one. reason to totally bomb your life. just before i die i was shown the most time on the chance to win the business by. which four hundred fifty refugees living in this small town there is the potential for conflict and misunderstanding but the mayor has set up a committee to avoid just that got. shut out from this is the meeting this is the meeting of religion on the wall so we try to block oh oh. social services the job center churches schools and businesses all sent representatives here hardly dislike them in the present that even from them flicking going to hear me missing the family or let me do it yeah. yeah but maybe it's

a good idea to drive to the most you can also hope that we can get to classes rheumatism i should just remove for pulling teeth from. the minute we have enough is enough then there isn't much to do or die knows i've got this time clean from. the neck of my local vine do shots of us from here. this short. while i live all in the willing and. we decided was off there so there was a doctor from syria already here varies here today in berlin so what they're trying to do is actually because four of the doctors who are here now are going into medicine and they want to keep some of the afghan or syrian doctors here so they are also discussing this at the moment because they are a need for doctors the town is now famous for its quest to find a new population but what do the refugees fink. here in friedland how do

the people who live here or how did it treat you are sometimes it is so it. is so us. as a strangers you know. but in general if they are good you live in one of these apartments yeah i hear i live here. from six months here i have five nurses in the house with me. and but in the house it wouldn't. stain friedland if you would find a job here or. home right now as well as if the small yeah it is small and i want it to complete my in my study of the city richard can probably only do in bigger city. really or harm maybe the mayor knows that's how most will react that's why his plan rests on just ten percent of the refugees wanting to stay. most of the population in your role in ten or twenty years will be

population above sixty or seventy so in a way the coming of refugees to this style presents a possibility because younger people younger population and they think it can be applied on the european level as well maybe to save the refugees can be a hope for revitalization of funds. and what it shows is that the real change can be done on the municipal level and that maybe radical politics of the twentieth century is not on the supreme national international level but on the local level. we've seen radical movements in big cities and a compassionate mayor in a small town. but to even begin to bring about change on the scale europe needs will require new and radical thinking in a major city. spain second largest city is not run by but so on a income or

a radical quality of an environmental and house an activist. or and two years ago other polow was attempting to stop people being erected from their homes. that ran into a little bit emotional to hear that amanda. but a second i don't know but open and going to ask what he does with. many more than in the gotta go. after kitchell miller's immunization if he feels that there is a lid. that sick of the augusta. but i like it and i must enlist i know it's poignant. now when she speaks up for a family who have been the week that she does so as the mayor of parts alone what do you know it will feel much is the most of the out of you that you can manifest get that morning nothing this is the worse it is that as it was and if you see and

they don't want it what if it will add more to the fema the richest woman that is going to try to be in that order that it's not they don't mean yours but can such radicals run a large and complex twenty first century global city of nearly two million residents. every year over seven million tourists sent on barcelona they spent over thirteen billion dollars. but their impact is now so huge they've become one of the problems facing new politicians like that pretty mare should not be settled. this is. just one of the most popular neighborhoods saw for barcelona. it used to be neighbor for the fishermen well one of the problems we're having here is that the prices of houses. have started to increase and many people are being forced to leave the neighborhood. here we used to have

a squad house it's called community here. which means thousands of houses for everyone. in this courthouse used to leave our actual mayor and some members of the government she was a supporter really yes here and now. that we are in the government of the of the city council we will have operatives here and that's what we're trying to foster in comparative how seeing new forms of tenancy and hearing of us in on it what we've been doing is we've been forcing banks to negotiate with the city council to give us you know what buildings empty buildings to. just go to have them for social rental. and that's very important i mean we don't depend on bonds because we haven't shared our campaign with banks and that's important because you're free from banks and that gives your

a certain margin to negotiate with them you know well this is one of the first buildings we bought when we when it came to power and this is a building that we are rehabilitating now i mean it's not easy because we as a city council we don't have all the legislative power to do to the way everything we can to change the city from one today but we are also putting pressure on the on the regional government on the central government to change the laws and if we don't have pressure on the streets there are many changes that cannot be done you are seeing that you see because the. subject was part of this if you just would like to see more versatile just we. will not only need pressure but we need to not be forms of organization people have to organize them and corporate these they have to produce in a different way they have to consume in a different way and we are seeing the ministration going to be an obstacle we have to do to go along with them but it's a demonstration when we go down to the democratic revolution. is this what happens

when the people take over the holidays. and by some on a town hall is a palace. i'm going to meet the marriage plus. do you think these model of parts alone up but also something which we could call the rebel cities it's not only barcelona it is now this if you're naples out of war zones a war on could be a model for europe as such in the sense that going from bottom up from the municipal from the local level we could come to a national level and even change your role on these transnational international level in a moment a case is then look at the got going arsalan espana is unable go back yes and in and out. that actually sees the light in mcgrath you format is the unifying theme but as regards the latter half in the market at the guy and i know by theone air

that if we're in the field then we're not going to go in and look at the heap of theone that i'm spot in thea and i in a meeting i see on the question i'm so jealous but you see by that i don't get any more second fender and i'm going under skewer this case on this that they meant some idea that upper left him don't last you like this son of mine is that you must have come out and they're going to guess at what i want is that what i mean that the other is not going to this put them out and what they're saying about in the end there are many that look into this k ok it is effective i meant it would help i say that i find that there's the use a lot of us are getting more said or not only that you'll see only getting more said or so but i thought when i mean i want to feel that i may not get an email address this i mean us actual madness in the last i said we'll put this all up with him. so maybe it will be a network of cities like barcelona where people finally feel represented because the city is close enough to the people to be held accountable yet powerful enough to make a difference to their lives. but on my journey i've seen how the

financial forces colonizing the. if captured nation states and even the european union so maybe it's nice to suppose such movements can make a difference. or maybe the judges. have to look over history as the movements that have achieved something it consistently appeared to show in that they didn't achieve their goals right away and were beaten back but they left a residue and a legacy from which the image moved forward a nation for will be cruel. so let's not dismiss those who are brave enough to be optimistic so what we have seen with the so-called arab spring if that it's not enough talk of bias where you have to be able to create a permanent organization even if it means no political parties but which wouldn't be where to let me troops in take integrate precisely the experience of the

patients and be aware that all of europe but also the world is watching what is happening in place. by. by the springtime flowers of a mountain lake. to the first snow fall on a winter's day. hello again the rain has now cleared away from when as always you can see it on the satellite picture gradually edging its way towards the east now working its way away from uruguay as well but still dragging its heels through parts of brazil and across into paragraph i as well so this region still pretty wet
