become disconnected now all of a sudden the last three weeks and i'm babbling mass crying all the time. just i can't stand on this evening stuff i mean who wants to feel. me katie and i want to as a medic i was medicated all these years i can handle this deal and say. you know and all my girlfriends are left in their life feeling and i got the feelings after all these years with the whole new woman. you know what i'd really like for a resolution is to have a little peace and be a little bit more content whatever life sends me and i'll make the lemonade out of lemons is that a stomping on the moments and throwing them at people. you know i don't have a husband that left me a pension or you know my future which is like getting like really closer and closer

and closer. of old age scares me because. i don't want to struggle. you know. i don't want to work when i'm seventy seventy five and it doesn't look like i'll be able not to. socks so yeah trying to be happy with that is really hard. but. diana is in her second trimester expecting twins a recent ultrasound found a life threatening complication hilton has to take a day off work without pay to see a specialist. ok

but the little one is so little that's what really concerns me so or it's just too early. quite to momentum on what they are ok but i probably am. not the work at the minister or you meant that these is they me not only might ask . but that. that was. the best. joke you when i lived in the city. that i was about on notice with. most of us who put on the one of those tomorrow is to put his show on.

my little payment but i put away four hundred dollars for christmas presents for everybody. twenty one people on my side of family so i'll put an amount that i got paid and then deduct and then i know what i'm left with. there is a night i took it into. someone says twenty seven old three that was sushi last night you say forgot his wall then i have separate money for the student loan and i separate money for my eyebrows because i would have caterpillar eyebrows affect how to pay this chase credit card i could tweeze them but i am very tedious about that process and i could just separate twenty dollars you know it's not looking pretty. now i'm going to pay the rent logon so i guess some have to cut a check and i think there's some stuff that hasn't posted yet something i didn't want to do but i guess i'll do it cuts. stamps worst thing this morning i cracked my screen ok so i'm going to write done mine is going to leave. leaves me

to pay my american express supposed to be two hundred fifty. ashamed and embarrassed guys. five hundred eighty seven dollars that's something i should have seen so i'll be with forty nine dollars and thirty one cents so guess what christmas money is now been lowered. you've now been lowered. that.

must be. a do. are you doing up there then work out of them the story of. all right percy and babs and their extended family gather a week before christmas for an annual gumbo feast i make a big pot of gumbo well i mean a big pot of gumbo. but you know stuff is so expensive you go to the store if they can get bad time to get it isn't it is you know. the couple gets one hundred forty seven dollars a month in food stamps recently reduced due to government cuts we started buying a shrimp and sausage and stuff like in the summer and keep it so we can have a lot of it a christmas we don't hear about christmas gifts for the grampians because you know with our blended families it's too many.

who are going to do is move them over to him or her. person doing the actual history of the week i don't even consider a mother still records consider my dad are can always go to person. right now while i was there when it came near. he can walk out one job and go to another you know a new people on a corner has hired it will pay you can work pay you just. pay but now we have you flip the economy over when it factory economy was running the city sixty's seventy's eighty's farm and that then replaced that economy no i could name a bunch of oh right here in milwaukee callup tell great distress big strat. here i'll let all of the some of the other right now they outsourced and we don't have that economy just stabilize the family. well this is down this is going to

get. nobody has bounced back from the recession that we. unless you were rich middle class citizens know me and my wife a decent jobs we still live paycheck to paycheck. for my mother my step dad it is hard it's like really really hard you know. it's hard to see this because i know the struggles and i care to help. during the time as much as i possibly can i help my mom here and there with medications but. if you look at mortgage. look at that car insurance health insurance. and i don't know how my mother functions sometimes with the load this year has to cheer and. yet

you know they would be thankful for. that. happen then the opportunities. they will be here today to. really make it. into a way i. think for my mom to do was seized with the four boys. single. to second and third shift first second. i was kids in a campus five years old when my money an envelope. peanut butter and jelly. how do you know what i speak from this day. and when the day my mom. was think i would let me be here today just be your most people i said to my father

say i want to be like you he said i don't want you to bury me and then on the stand . why don't you. want to be better to me. and that's. ok but. they had to have a say in that. and i wish this is a tonight. the only hope for is that everybody's generous mood you know. this year has just been really weird. days that i never thought would be slow here i've been so blessed there is i mean last thursday was probably the

slowest i've seen here in five years. but you know what people don't have one and i mean this is a luxury a couple days before christmas you know their choices are pretty simple going out to eat or person is. on top of her full time job at a chain restaurants in downtown chicago emilia has worked one shift a week for twenty four years out resign a family owned place near her home rosie's is there's no way to get in there full time. people who trip over each other trying to get these their. i mean this one fool sister that one's little brother i mean everybody there's no room. to be a has lots of regulars but tonight brings in a new couple you know where you. would you like something to drink. cold pepsi is it ok i don't want to. go with i have to run the jewel for you right

after that. might be a while though you might be hydrated by the time i get back to. you ok kara. so we're kind of down on the why you. think. i'm the right guy. i was. right i think you need to you need to be going really. i think it's fair. to how much everything they have to do on this thing every you know they're all on it as i said for to the point today was when they asked me to do this i said let me tell you a couple things about myself i said i swear a lot. i smoke a lot i talk like a truck driver i ride a motorcycle just paid enough chocolate to put myself in your home i said so if you're still interested in my gas yeah. i don't want to come back to discriminate against sue the little girl you kissed the guy you think if you didn't like it or

not i think i know that. but. i won't tell your husband that you're making out with the customers out here. because then she you know you're not one doesn't even. like. to see what we put up with in here see this. is the white stuff tomorrow feel we go. over sleep but they're going to say we're to work. to get up at four in the morning to act order in the morning but there's five that's when i go to bed.

while jose works elizabeth joins his extended family for christmas new from the sands i don't believe wait wait wait wait typically don't. take this he first save the paper for next year. oh yes they got something young that's always doing his work and. this is i still i want it wait if it's him. it's own to go over i don't know you're not on the screen. jose calls his sister to wish the family a merry christmas do you want to come to my house. well we're here talking chill and actually you could be in this conversation because how come it doesn't do the face time because that's exactly how it is you know you. go see

you know i don't. believe the celebration early to go to her job at a local hospital or work too hard to be. the person on. work all the time. so it was difficult. that was for years. just emilia spends christmas with her daughter son in law and the only grandchild anthony. we would push it to see will spurs you've got one. there i. don't talk to. anything anthony wants whatever he wants to do she'll do show plenty probably trouble that's her favorite board game to play with him kick survived every time. i

look losing a good. rule i was. with my daughter i was gone for the first six years of her life. dealing with my drug addiction. so would be anthony and i try to be present. when i have anthony it's just me and anthony. all. maybe these are people who play a special part in all the treasured memories we hold within our hearts thanks for being with us mimi love your little man. thank you so much. of it all could. help you

i guess i'll have to give you yours. who. are you kidding me here you are and i head on you're not in this instance oh. in the character. financially no she probably should not have bought the i pad she definitely did not have the money but she would rather spend that money on anthony not there was no way you were to stop her from buying it when it comes to him that's what she does and he hit hard they think you are no show and their retirement from remember to make up for them for years. oh perfect i did go and buy this now pretty sweet they say. oh you don't have to buy i make oh yeah. you are way too cute. so you had a good day today. you have

a lot of gifts. we got of these middle school the worst years of my life and then the other one is how i survived bullies broccoli and snake hill starts middle school next year so. so we're going to like tell him how to survive bullies we know how to survive bullies. calling here oh yeah. what amulya really wants for christmas is a break from winter weather so she can ride her motorcycle stored in a cold garage which i haven't done that in a while. i just sit there in summer all thanks. she bought the bike when she had a construction job and was making five times what she makes waitressing.

god i love my motorcycle i wish i could take this like for example i'd be out of this thing now and. that was her first bike sportster. cigarette in the mile her harley glasses black shirt jeans. that's my mom. i hand her sit by that's a big deal i would love. amelia got her on buying the truck and she didn't like being a passenger so it's independent it's the freedom to get up and go. have a wind chill. i put it down once we rolled the milwaukee with the wind shield on i

could stand it when chilled. but i get the. bugs and rocks but they're starving people don't tell you go to the bathroom and you know like i was everybody left and you realize we were laughing at your dead bugs all over your face in your teeth. a million cows talk about the possibility of selling the motorcycle. to pay some bells on to do something but i don't know that she's at that point. i would have been as successful. today helton and diana are moving to east palo alto the move comes at a bad time just two days ago they had another ultrasound. one with a k. . a month old. so the signal to us. this

was as off by the kokoda. it i'm worthless to me says i this was a business as our weekend. and while still on topic i meant there this although i hope. some latest little bit in us thought that we are. an imbecile. but i have also developed in a couple years ago on the mouse. they

chose this house which they'll share with another family because they thought they would need to be. coated in diana share of the rant as one thousand and fifty dollars per month more than three times what they paid to live in a garage. five bit iffy of a. lawsuit of on the board.

the. sims get to know one of. the. as a place something. must. next time and hard earned. an hour. i'm told walgreen's. we've heard news about groups and speakers i suppose if you want to take four week or two off said i need to work. for the good old us of the

middle. we still trying to keep the house but right now we're about chapter thirteen capital to rock out a little before you. desperate for mold we heard news about you it's an speeders message you want to take a week or two officers i need to work i need the most part of it i think it's humiliating because i thought i'd be somewhere outs in my life and i'm not risking it old deep down. i'm told walgreens. for a better future always saying yes to the house do you want to sleep on it's. on al-jazeera.

logan welcome back to your international weather forecast this hour i'm going to take you over here towards the northern part of chile i want to show you some images that have come in across the region of some flooding that we have seen here on friday about twelve hundred people had to be evacuated out of this town as the rain fell across the mountains then came to make its way towards the coast and you can see the mess that it did cause across much of the area well above average for this time of year we do expect to see more rain across the region though as we go towards the end of the day well here over here towards the eastern part of argentina we do have a form of bonnie right there just to the north of one is out as we are going to be seeing the temperatures start to come down as that front makes its way towards the north so one is august twenty sixth degrees there dropping to about twenty four with plenty of sun and your forecast but that front going to lay out across rio de

janeiro over here towards a sense and we could be seeing some afternoon showers as well bringing those temperatures down across the region on sunday evening well here across parts of the bahamas we are seeing some very wet conditions as well the rains going to continue over the next few days so for now it is going to be a twenty six degree day but rain is going to be in the forecast of in a twenty eight degrees here on saturday but by the time we get towards sunday plenty of sun and the forecast and we do expect to see attempt a few of about twenty seven degrees there. the weather sponsored by qatar airways. in recent years the sawhill of north africa has witnessed the so-called war on terror. but is this official narrative. of battle. a battle for the earth's natural resources.

shadow war in the sahara cultures. i remember the first time i walked into the newsroom and it felt like being in the general assembly of the united nations has little so many nationalities. just we all come from places but it's one that gives us bank of the us the ability to identify the way or the other side of the world but we can understand what it's like to have a different perspective and i think that is a strength for al-jazeera. you're watching the news hour life from the headquarters and. coming up in the next sixty

minutes the russian president vladimir putin follows america's lead and pulls out of a nuclear missile treaty venezuela's self declared leader tells al-jazeera why he's declined offers of talks with the man he's trying to push from power also people and animals a skate on anything they can from severe flooding in australia. and out of school take the asian cup trophy back to off the beaten japan on the pitch and the blockade will fix that in malaysia this new cell. hello the russian leader vladimir putin has told his foreign and defense ministers that he will withdraw from a decade's old nuclear missile pact a u.s. decision to do the same putin also says his government will start working on new missiles on friday u.s.

secretary of state my pompei announced washington's move saying his country will give them six months to comply. best solution. we will do it this way our response will be symmetrical our american partners stated they will stop their participation in the treaty so we will also stop they stated that they will do research and development of arms so we will also do the same russia won't deploy new land based short range and intermediate range weapons neither in europe nor in other regions of the world unless similar american made weapons appear in those regions all our proposals in this fear remain on the table as before doors for talks are open at the same time i am asking the foreign ministry and defense ministry not to initiate any talks on this issue let's wait until our partners open a dialogue with us we have two correspondents on this story will go to chris a salumi in the us in a moment but first let's run some. so this tit for tat response has it come as

a surprise. i think there's very little surprise here you can't really have an arms control treaty with yourself can you so if the united states is pulled out then that basically meant that russia was going to pull out as well that's what we heard earlier on from putin rusher is doing this it is tearing up the i.n.f. treaty putin that says that says said that russia won't initiate any disarmament talks now with the united states and also that russia won't deploy any missiles that had previously been banned by the i.m.f. unless the united states does that too he went on to say that russia does not want a costly arms race now that doesn't mean that russia we're going to have some sort of arms race just that it will try to do so on the cheap within existing military budgets because let's face it in russia real incomes have been falling now for five

years in a row for years money that should be perhaps going to social issues has actually been siphoned into military spending military modernization putin's popularity is sinking quite fast in the moment and i think he probably knows that spending millions and millions of more dollars on military matters when russians are getting poorer isn't going to be a particularly popular move so he would like to keep whatever arms race that is now launched essentially on the cheap and russia denies any violations of course but the u.s. does accuse russia of committing them what are they. well basically the united states'. problem with what russia was doing centered around a particular class of cruise missile particular type of cruise missile the russia has been developing it's it's called the nine seven to nine and basically what the

u.s. said was the this cruise missile broke into the forbidden range. of missiles ballistic all crews that were forbidden by the this treaty so that range was five hundred kilometers to five thousand five hundred kilometers and the american said the this missile was actually inside that range the russians said nonsense it wasn't and the russian perspective the russian argument has always been actually the united states wanted to pull out of this treaty for a long time and is basically just been using this cruise missile as as an excuse to do so because russia says the u.s. is has been developing its own iron f. and missiles for some time now and that's the real reason why i want to get out of it ok got it rory challenge thank you for that update from moscow let's bring in

chris and loomis is joining us from washington and did the white house expect putin to follow the u.s. is lead kristen in withdrawing from this agreement. look i don't think the united states was under any illusion that russia was going to just roll over on this the trump administration forecast and this move threatened it last year they did give russia six months to comply however to get back into compliance with the treaty saying that if they destroyed the missiles in question then they would bring the treaty back in force but given the history and even with the pressure coming from nato saying that they support the administration's move here i don't think anyone was really expecting a big change of heart from the russians might pompei i've said as much when he announced the the move but the united states is concerned about more than just russia here the trump administration feels that its hands are being tied by this treaty china never signed up to it and since the eighty's china's military has

grown china has been deploying missiles that are capable of firing within the five hundred fifty five hundred limit that the treaty sets forth so the administration says look we need to have a response here and we can't respond to this threat from these countries because one is not in the treaty and one is not complying with it so we need to do something here to change that you know critics say that it was likely to just spark a dangerous and costly arms race and not lead to withdrawal. we do see this escalating rhetoric between the two countries the united states has said that it is looking at military options to deal with this new threat from china and russia but administration officials have said that they don't expect the united states to actually deploy missiles that would be in violation of the treaty or do any testing that would be in violation of the terms of the treaty so at that stage anyway we

don't see the arms race going quite to that extent yet but it is a concern obviously about this is just going to further escalate things between. these tense in these countries all right krista salumi giving us the update from washington kristen thank you so the intermediate range nuclear forces or i.n.f. treaty called for both sides at that time to destroy and never again deploy any ground based for listing on cruise missiles within a set range by nine hundred ninety one a total of two thousand six hundred ninety two missiles were destroyed under the treaty that's according to the us state department and as we mentioned since then both sides have accused each other of violating its twenty four t. in washington accuse moscow of testing a weapon at a restricted range before deploying it in twenty seventeen and last october nato backed the u.s. and declared russia in violation of that agreement moscow has continued to deny the

allegations. get top of those joining us here in the studio to give us some perspective on what's going on so we find ourselves in a situation right now where putin is saying we're withdrawing too and not only that we will start working on creating new supersonic missiles but we won't deploy them unless the u.s. does talk us through all of this and tell us what supersonic missiles are well there are two broad categories of missile the traditional one is the ballistic missile the most people have heard of the bull they fly at a hypersonic speed which is by definition five times the speed of sound so supersonic would probably refer to cruise missiles the other category the fly the speed of a fast jet they're designed to fly under cover to attack a high value targets and obviously the fullest of that missile moves the less time any potential enemy will be able to react to be able to defend itself so. it's a new step in existing technology. to continue part of an arms race now that is

going to accelerate ok so the treaty at the time prohibited both countries from possessing producing or deploying ground launched cruise ballistic missiles and the range for that was between five hundred to five and a. thousand kilometers why are these weapons seen as particularly destabilizing the treaty was put in effect as a confidence building measure to try and stop one side from sneaking up on the other if you're launching missiles from say russia to the united states or vice versa you have about thirty minutes for your adversity to react within europe itself in this continuous arms buildup the reaction time was much shorter so what they were trying to do is just say let's take a step back let's make sure that one so i can't sneak up on the other and destroy them before they have a chance to defend themselves and you remembering europe a moment ago after the u.s. announcement that they would be withdrawing from the treaty nato came out with a statement saying this that they fully support the u.s. as decision of withdrawal what can we expect european reaction to be now that we have reaction from russia well it's going to be interesting to see the treaty

itself was bilateral so it was only something between the united states and russia . other nato members such as the u.k. which also has its own nuclear force one hundred france they were included so how they're going to react now obviously nato is thinking in a collective in a collective way will side with the united states but the advent of the potential for an increased arms race is there and more weapons on either side's deployed usually means increased tension so you think that then the risk of a new arms race is there over the rest of us growing i think it's already started and i think this will accelerate it we've heard on the russian side we've had nuclear talk paedos large intercontinental ballistic missiles on the american side be evidence it could be creation of a brand new branch of the military the space force so that these advancements have definitely been there and now it's happened is that both sides have freed

themselves up to develop these things even further all right alex atop of us thank you for that. venezuela's self declared leader one who has called for a large show of support later on saturday its rival a huge rally planned for the man he's trying to push from power and that's president nicolas maduro so as the power struggle between the two divides global powers as well why do has told al-jazeera he's not interested in talks with mr oh who still has the crucial support of the military here's our latin america editor of the c.n.n. with more or less so that any i battled president. overseeing military exercises intended to let opponents know that he has the means with which to crush venezuela's internal enemies clearly not intimidate the man who insists that he's venezuela's legitimate leader looked at all the part of an interim president as he called them in his wayland's to return to the streets on saturday to further pressure.
