will be here more than the other side. with the exception of world wars that there is. a lot of there's regard shall refer to the big twenty five but sir. that's a huge through the actual times of this we had forty percent decline in the amount of jacobs wages salaries thanks so much so the cost was huge you know. emergency services have been hit as hard as any firefight as it had wages steadily cut they even have to buy their own uniforms. this unit is based in a complex that was the pride of the two thousand and four athens olympics they were called out until nine pm long after the fire had destroyed the town.

my support from you on the tarmac so must the bottom a number of those we're going to get out of this was. the blame game starts it even before marty stopped smoldering the heads of the. national police and fire brigade was sacked the minister for public goal to resign and some claim that's not enough but politicians it officials have blood on their hands. zooming constant talk to lou was serious a speaker of parliament and a close ally of prime minister alexis tsipras until they split over austerity cuts i think it's very very clear that austerity measures imposed upon our country have led not just to misery and suffering but also to deaths when you remove so mccown tree when you demand rats.

and illegal debts is repaid. by the blood. of the people because this is what has been happening we've been paying with our own blood for a debt that they created and when i say they i'm talking about the governments the greek governments but also the european governments that the creditors governments and the german and french banks which were those responsible for the larger part of greece's so-called current debt whether there would come to be a better outcome. if. you know under different circumstances. with without your story. it's hard to say. defense is you know lucky since it's cutbacks would no excuse for the lack of

planning all coordination. he believes they had enough water bombing a craft to slow the blaze they just didn't say but. i think certainly if we had and what my research shows is that if we caught fire fighting. operational. week of delayed the spread of the fire by your least an hour an hour and a half some of those you can see now or would have been enough to cut carbon regulation to help save the world if. it wasn't just the failings on the day that killed so many it was government policy stretching back decades. of all the terrible sight see this unremarkable property that's now sealed off is the most powerful because a crowd of people came running through here trying to get to the say blinded by smoke they found themselves trapped the edge with no escape twenty six people

including parents and their young children died and. each other's arms. allegations would later emerge that the property and fence should not have been there like many waterfront homes it was built without permission on public land this is a unique phenomenon in southern europe where a lot of brits areas were. the rare look in the sixty's in the seventy's with climbing once the houses are built in defense of their member government comes in and builds commutes reverse unfortunately they're on their own way of going about. illegal construction was tolerated in part because the builders paid heavy fines and taxes income desperately needed in the financial crisis this government which is trying to blame it on those illegal houses was the government who

thousand oaks california. to chris brown who's the current president of the brady campaign to prevent gun violence she told us that all ways to tackle the growing problem. we know that there are commonsense solutions that will make this epidemic drastically reduce and we need to enact them as soon as possible that's why we have worked so hard at brady to elect gun violence prevention champions in the house of representatives and we finally have a majority in the house of representatives who we hope will tackle commonsense laws and enact them that will make a difference in this kind of shooting and many others that occur in this country we need to expand the background check system in this country the brady law was enacted almost twenty five years ago and one in five sales of guns that occurs today occurs without any background check it out at all because of gaps in the system we need to close those gaps the second thing we need to do is we need to an

act extreme risk laws that allow guns to be removed from at risk individuals across this country we have states that haven't acted them but there's legislation pending in congress that would provide grants to states to enforce those laws and to educate people about them i think we're going to find that while there are facts and circumstances with this shooting in which a potential extreme risk law could have been very important or an order put in place and the third thing that we have to do is make sure that we have an honest conversation about the role of assault weapons and far too many mass shootings in this country we need to tighten the sale of assault weapons in this country as a top priority we have an epidemic of gun violence in this country the vast majority of americans regardless of party affiliation believe we must do more so the idea that something more should not be done sensible policies that we know will

stop some shootings. i think it's ridiculous we need to take action we need to do it now and we know that we will save at least some lives if we do that it's an excusable from the american public perspective to hear just thoughts and prayers from elected officials we need to act to save lives. you know nations broken talks between the warring sides and yemen have been postponed until the end of the year he won his warning yemen is just three months away from a devastating famine with fourteen million people at risk in the reports. the un has been escalating its calls for a cease fire in yemen and a political solution but on the ground around the pool city of data the opposite is happening. the fighting between pro-government forces and the rebels is intensifying and so despite renewed diplomatic efforts by the united states plans the u.n. brokered talks in sweden in november have been pushed back until the end of the the
