going to test directly american military. i would expect the americans to avoid full scale crisis with turkey and that they will. alternative scenarios perhaps that force it to be a bitch to be created over a period of well it's something like. the americans jane you want. to fall back into the air it's just militants and so the two governments i think that way. now on what's being hailed as a major step forward and breaks and they've o'shea sions the u.k. has been granted a twenty one month transition period out of the e.u. as to reduce any sudden shocks when it leaves the bloc next march it will see the u.k. effectively remain as a non-voting a member until the end of twenty twenty. russian president vladimir putin has been

headlines europe's the bit in colony is coming up next.

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 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 of a dog and the 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 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 very well by stance by deception without telling the truth you wouldn't take the ball that i gave you. the worst thing is that he's right everything was. correct even if you love him so people can see a side there's a tragedy of the of you know. i may not agree with what he stands for but that's

the paradox of europe today. what i'm saying so what has cause he's saying or against your own. question yes how do explain the rise of you'll keep on trying less for your because. i don't know how do you explain how do you explain the rise of i must tell you how do you explain the rise of some reason you know how do you explain that it's a failing on your opinion and i want to turn yes ok here. you are getting the growth of houses across the political spectrum. growth of rejectionism of this model because the model doesn't i mean so what do we have then i mean if you have nation states because of nation states borders walls and 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 it was old 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 and here we will lose them between your. 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 and it leads

to erratic and often frightening reactions that's couple little severe economic growth. in deceptive and examine how the anger and frustration generated by this whale politicisation the p.b.s. show for european democracy is we don't. know member 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 the neck this is inexcusable doesn't mean it's inexplicable. norm tomsky is

a prolific writer only international relations and the riches of terrorism you look at news international these are people from the. miserable suburbs or older it's 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 they're drawn to jihadism kind of a way out of their group ration and humiliation. internal pressure. the belgian and terrorist attacks were carried out by a man from brussels. if somehow runs

a youth center here in the district of small and. i five nice to meet you yes welcome to little bit of thanks when you show us around a bit yeah. you'll encounter any kind of discrimination maybe already in your childhood because you are a must in reading the letter first is in my school. and the time i'm just springing from posting some but mostly about my work on them but. to just. to leave. some of the terrorists for committed the terrorist attacks in madrid in paris and also here where from falling back is the level of discrimination higher today after the. terrorist attacks. when you learn yes or no because i tell you of course after that that she said like morning which is that oh no nothing in the thing on the on the going to mimic 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 like the month 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. is what we're observing versions that if you have. 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 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 gore but author stopped on to refugee sentiment. you know me in my own community. 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 there are sort of four being just one of the canonical bizarre to many of the fifth extraordinaire you should get a false spot any more serious sumburgh the rest of the small the farm if you don't really. 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 marie le pen 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 as ignorant racists 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 philosophers love which is not going to agree. with this but i think that 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 but i won't in today's big global capitalism 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 attack just. properly but the question to what went wrong in society that opened up the space for. him but he says.

no because possibly europe smokes and afford the arctic. and the turks largest in the hungary in parliament want to be sure. when you meet them you don't want that it was they've met people you've got a good thing you said something that me when i was there that talk i want you to let me get it ok let me get it he said it was a little bit 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 big young leader god but one never knows there are a. sort of when a woman a crucial one woman accruals going door to pour your heart on the macross people showed up early because she has a lot of locals actually cause more than you got to shag she got a leash for. your new 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 when are we going to share political battle or my good weed a good one for the summer for young not as i'd year. normally. i'm going to get. back east at the mc shan. i want to go one there are so i want to live in what your apartment at the all of. your big time about of. course is that you would actually

fellow she drove them where you'll be going to you guys i would have been walking with your mother or so i'm going to. illuminate your field all automatic assault on us to see that the of this just on and we don't i don't shock a shochet when i actually told of john i was shocked. i mean best that she does any good from bad i mean heat. or you heat and it would get i think a study that if you met a saudi prince i and like in other parts of europe the big success is pushed under is prime minister viktor orban further to the right. the best friend i got your heyerdahl you took us around at that what i meant to be starstruck. so you friend i got to be a lush on ishmael to moderate a column when i was actually called what i could teach. so in two thousand and fifteen or build a fence to keep the refugees far out of hungary and move many wealth from.

other countries across europe quickly followed in the borders were sealed. my. name. this is post fascism says hungary and political scientists bash the time which. i do 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. dark 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 and 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 long it's accepted. and the abandonment of the. unemployed ill that's such a populations within even the court countries who accept it. but if we accept the logical pincer now. if you create another to blame for our economic taylor's. i read not also creating the conditions for outrage tarion 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 emerged that hundred million europeans or european countries who are idea dictatorship or subjected themselves to dictatorships either now to some of us fascism or stalin use them so much to mean democracy in europe this get almost nothing and even after checking for a divorce then you but i do concede stuff that they develop invest and euro they developed all invest that was the case in spain in porto cunt in greece never dictatorships a democrat liberal democracy is no euro and they pretended that it was our tradition it was centuries or bush was it not. things who value economy is increasing people get to share each and every year at this point liberal democracy is fantastic the moment economy does not feel that vera that my goodness there are

problems then immediately it is falling apart of people not people trying to tell me what they call for food and the cause of their leader and if will find a strong man 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 was as 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 the. night stand given to us to see if you can use of my. past with the centuries the general assembly we're 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 no me committee for legal matters and so on . they conceptualize discuss different proposals already yes and then they come with the proposals and then the us to the general assembly and then the general assembly all of them together in the 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 do you try to develop debates which is started by it's not. ok why do you think it makes sense to gather here and you know at this square there is rainfall and so on if we have already parliamentary democracy in parliaments and institutions. sad to me too good to last the first good offer to look down in the morning no. downside to the complex. and when you take. your piece of paper mr patel. who offer it all up and loves that he really. does want to do community good for going online will be just

that there will be seats on issues. it's in a pretty. big if you see. what people are liking 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 london i don't want to vote for the ban. they realize that the real power is not even anymore in the national governments the real power is that the europe rule of coffee in the european commission european central bank institutions where all of these people who are here tonight are not represented the dole.

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 selenium and even for asian. 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 can see in hungary and in other countries where 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 fraud first it is linked to the solidarity movement to try to help the refugees and he said it is a creation of a new political image a nation. and in part two we look at where that could take us. stories of life. and inspiration. a series of short documentaries from around the wilds. that celebrate the human spirit against the arts coming from pay for. al-jazeera selects changemaker has at this time. a scandal that's rocked the nation to its core and exposed hundreds of court officials. accepting

bribes just to show the most dangerous komo between one and sometimes take a spy or a difference to go on a personal fine against judicial corruption as in my i have i i come out of my account in an exclusive documentary al-jazeera examine one man's extraordinary battle for justice in ghana. how ominous of a problem in the headlines on al-jazeera the syrian government has strongly criticized what it calls turkey's occupation of the town of afraid and as demanding to his forces withdraw that turkey says it now plans to expand its military operation to other kurdish hell towns in syria where u.s. forces are supporting the kurds. of medicine and after controlling the city center

of after and yesterday we completed the most important phase of operation olive branch now we will continue this process with members. and ras al-ain and camera until we remove all of this corridor. the u.k. has been granted a twenty one month transition period after the e.u. and what's being hailed as a major step forward in brics that negotiations as to reduce any sudden shocks when it leaves the bloc next march will see the u.k. effectively remain as a non-voting e.u. member until the end of twenty twenty. russian president vladimir putin has been outlining his priorities for his next six years in office he says russia doesn't want an international arms race and will seek to resolve differences with other countries his reelection received a muted reception abroad with the many foreign leaders slow to congratulate him. the closing ceremony of the annual chinese national people's congress is being held

in beijing members back to see reason who deals in recent days including the abolishment of presidential term limits that paves the way for president xi jinping to stay on indefinitely as leader facebook's chief information security officer is stepping down the new york times says alex alex disagreed with the company's handling of revelations that russia used facebook to spread false information that comes as a u.s. senator sent a letter to c.e.o. mark zuckerberg demanding a response to allegations that the dot of fifty million users was harvested by a political consultancy firm a whistleblower who worked at cambridge analytical says the data was used to build a system which may have influenced voters in the u.s. presidential election wide hailing company has suspended itself driving the vehicle program in the u.s. after a woman an hour or so and died when she was hit by one of its cars the first pedestrian fatality involving an autonomous vehicle police say the car was in self driving

mode of person was behind the wheel those are the headlines europe's forbidden colony continues next. as quiet the signal is given. out so it's safe to walk to school last year there are more than thirty in this community in one month the police say this area is a red zone one of several in some townships and children sometimes a quarter in the crossfire when rival gangs fight so parents and grandparents are what they call a walking past to try to. go. there are more than one hundred fifty volunteers working for several walking busses teachers say it is working class attendance has improved the volunteers also act as security guards. this way old bull that i like to call default. to we all saw the movie

what we remember how it the movie crowd. the power of. the people over ok. i'm ready to shame my mother into slavery. but even if you. feel i'm cold. the thought of in day at that part two but what happened 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 recount 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 since that must bear 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 political economy is being created in greece 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 in other 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 usually it will be like one thousand dollars and we'll really you know one month on what is

the amount of money which is circulating i do know that this because. we have had some on the order of about sixteen russian police here less than sixty four to five weeks because people are often very very short on the monitors where it's 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 a percentage of the sales in food. what is the percentage they get a voucher i think. so this is the basket of solidarity all of you know the good but not from the producer everyone of the consumer who comes here may if your she wants. some formed. when this more than this

movement of solidarity started we had the just ten families now after for. those. we have one hundred and forty families. so no it's not known and we don't want the state involved 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 all the other kind they didn't want to sell their goods for the supermarkets. particularly interesting as someone who was born in yugoslavia. we should experiment to be told 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 include

a few million things football differently. you can see why don't all middle men movement wants to stand apart from the state but to bring about large scale change don't citizen led movements need to be brave or. i mean humble germany the heart of the european empire 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 and ten. it was a protest against what in fact the swedish company had allowed to repeat accidents to cure at nearby nuclear power plants so one hundred twenty thousand people joined hands to link the two power stations together a distance of over one hundred kilometers. after that protest some workers felt

empowered to take on powerful companies as well as the state under the leadership of the huns. we came here very. evidently and i'm on the funfair many of whom were even just warm on one last member of the five hundred. yes that's the time that. such a thing was previously on the ship right yeah. three. of the. greatest definition yeah. in denying tonight is 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. and tarzan.

often does i met this isn't that slightest logo damaged one in ten thousand on the show because i'm just so i just prefer them first and had given few not from fifty thousand tried to do. and what were the main arguments of the complaint. the nets are in a. busy footing in any event i know that some can you know even send a complex is. on the net never and if it didn't know color orange doesn't. benefiting from office when it doesn't of michigan. but they only managed a narrow win in the referendum we just fifty point nine percent in favor. probably because they were up against the entire establishment the mayor the main central left and right parties the energy companies and even the unions. and then we

should often. does the humble. beginnings of you dust and fun for you take on cunt say an entrée reasoning and hasn't come via you other than one program one season that's of it so looking forward and does . yeah that's perfect me try to not. and in two thousand and sixteen humber bought back the energy great so now its profits go back to the city. the gas and heating networks will follow suit and i'd look for the energy companies and their investors . send their home movie editing and things made fish then it's just fired for at the nexus one and one hundred best and us needs to assume the angst to copy tides for him her good as it's just us and i had a point. after the fall of the venom hole there was

a huge enthusiasm for him and his ations and free market ideology what we have seen in home work is that maybe today he said he is challenge and we have a new kind of enthusiasm which isn't was just to take 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 was such mayor has come up with a unique way of handling the refugee crisis. on my journey i've seen refugees forced to live in appalling conditions and defined

as the political other. but in friedland's they have taken a different approach. this was once a busy town full of factories processing regional a cultural produce but the fall of the barely wall so factories close and the jobs leave. merivale block of the century right christian democrats is a former factory worker the term into safe. townsend. it's ok because i'm closer between luckily for friedland the mayor has plenty of energy. as a hero i know of course between. do you took a public. vote in two zero up and down and also to survive as a man in tamer. and in a companion why not mention god compile your eyes in the outside when you remember . 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 even though he said. i get taken. to fourteen and us flight of our hoods among that's fine so if i'm in the normal force as i did ah god in-vitro by. feelings over your own slim i understand that we are seeing between up to the gold one of. the two it's a fin and as it's an hour it splits and. despite attempts to attract new industry most young people move away so the population here is shrinking and getting older isn't the start one is feared to mention. as one kind of modern and feeling and. so the mayor had an idea to both help refugees in need and revive his town. by doing

it in. the bottom twenty beaten for the mention of hundred victims with the kinds and are exact arms or is going to be killing. content with just because i'm the animal i need to shift city beyond what it is now that that's very vital nets for men often. under the flight ships he didn't figure into our lives are the most much we are the. there's a side to shining on is often that scene puts and floods fancy words and he has failed to convince court. so they've asked for more than the votes of refugees and they're even trying to mind their bribery to convince them to stay. home floating exchange you can see this is the place where the refugees. can get

free this is sort of folds. you're no good no good no gang now yes everyone smile that oh this is gross. and me feel no conflict because you know no. no no why don't you know you're so fucking that here now yeah come you know thinking that they can do. that much my my crushing yeah yeah and he's going to clang cannot mcconkey 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 like these last and got through me this good but are you voting one. reason to deploy the bomb you're going to. do that before i was shown almost one hundred 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. social services the job center churches schools and businesses all center representatives here hardly dislike them in the present that even inform them flew clinton here they have me missing some of you do. not have it yet but maybe it's a good idea. dr morse you can also hold the class and run it as a machinist as we move forward pulling the team from. the minute. next year's aircraft then there isn't much to do if i knows i've got this time clean. to wash odds of us from here. this

short. while i live all in the willing and realize how do we do this leave us off. so there was a doctor from syria already here yes very is 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 think. here in finland how do the people who live here or how did it treat you are sometimes so it. is so us. as the 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 verses in the house with me. and but in the house it was good you would do stay in friedland if you would find a job here or do you know right now as well as if the small yeah yeah it is small and i want to get my in my study of their city ritual can probably only do we know bigger cities. really on how mostly maybe the mere norse 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 dishtowels presents a possibility because younger people younger population and they think it can be applied on the european level as well maybe you say that the refugees can be a force for revitalisation of want. 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's second largest city is not run by but on a income or a radical quality of an environmental and house and activist. i am. two years ago other callao was attempting to stop people being erected from their homes. that ran into a little bit emotional to hear that amanda. but a second element but open and in

a must because of the. many more than in the gotta go. miller's immunization if he feels that there is a lid. that sick of the augusta. there with. a good image in a list i know it's been you. know when she speaks up for a family who have been a week that she does so as the mayor of parts alone what it. will feel much is the most of the out of you that you can modify 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 were at one of the cinema the richest woman that is going to try to be in that or knows 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 to get your isp the cent and barcelona

they spent over thirteen billion dollars. but their input is now so huge they've become one of the problems facing new politicians like that peter mares are not the sort of. this is. just one of the most popular neighborhoods so for barcelona. it used to be a 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 called me less that even though 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 squatter 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 ten and see and hear 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 to to have them for a for social rental. and that's very important i mean we don't depend on bonds because we haven't our campaign with banks and that's important because you're free from banks and that gives you a certain margin to negotiate with them you know well this is one of the first buildings we bought when we when we 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 and you will see that you see because the. subject was part of the you just would like to see more political 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. them but it's it's not demonstration who would go there with the democratic revolution. so is this what happens when the people take over the palace and barcelona town hold 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 but it is now the city of naples that it was and so 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. they likely sees the light immigrant here for a man is the unifying theme but as regards the latter half in the market at the guy and i know by theone a lot if we're in the field then we're not going to go in the heba theone that i'm spot in thea and i may make it a. pretty but i don't get anymore sick on sentiment and i'm going under stuart is on this that lehman time i get up or left him don't last you like this it's not really stuff you must have got and they're going to get as much of that one is that

what i mean the dollars in the pocket of these put them out and what they're seeing what in the end there are many that are not into this scale get gives effective i meant it would up by say that i find that there's the last call you saw us in iceland get him or said or not own that you'll see only get in most there so what i thought when i mean i when i see that i may not get an email address the other semi us national model must be in the dollars 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. it powerful enough to make a difference to their lives. but on my journey i've seen how the financial forces colonizing europe have captured nation states and even the european union so maybe it's nice to suppose such movements can make a difference. or maybe they're judging.

her she looked over history as a movement of chief 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 lean forward a nation full become here 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 new political parties but which wouldn't be where to go but which would 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 thank you very much.
