a new outfit for the twenty fifth anniversary of her church choir. i found an assessor. just passing the show. and how did i. like this it was not a concept. it's not about my opinion it's about how comfortable. by how they look so ok shoo shoo. all of them seem to think there is no difference between that she's in the. forest. machine i'm not even a seal she just came way in lachine well silver not only that. they have the attention.

that. this looks bigger than what it looks like on the computer. we can put our pictures from our wedding up here jose and elizabeth marino take the afternoon off from work to look at two houses for sale. right now the living situation is crazy. the recently married couple live with their parents they're in desperate need of more space. this is where we all three sleep when we sleep over here. for not good enough for the room. when i saw eight in one day that he was angry he went under the bed and he was crying and he said that that's a safe spot he has no where to go in this house because he doesn't have his own room. on our road.

in the. they want to stay in montgomery county where their families have lived for three decades but housing costs here are now among the highest in the us. so what do you think minus the cons and i told you water in the backyard layer the kitchen the vent in eight inch room the old heat pump the washer and dryer lay out . can you please tell me something positive about the house. give me something that you like about the how other than the stuff they are the only role driveway go and i wrote i wrote driveway i wrote granite countertops i wrote the layout the house i wrote the extra space in the basement i'm nothing about what do you mean it's hard to stuff that's a car i doubt you want broke being released. as.

she goes negative. there's a battle between the co being half or half empty and i look at it is just liquid in the cup it's is new or there's something in the car that's a fact. i already don't like it here i think it was that was the decision we're going to go with the other one will be masterful closing how long do you see yourself living that. ever. i see me raising my kids there i see them come back from college i see them i see them they're. so excited about it i am i know you are. i like the barber always saying yes to the house. i get those were reports from work my magic for you guys. like. this is the one the one single it. was like. we're never gonna do it let me get to work on

a room. like that. role. if i know the ground you know now i'm going up by. the match and. that's freezing on the trail. of keep. him or something. where that out in the city came torso i woke up we had to pay that is it has been just one big just one big headache and actually percy and beverly evans bought their house thirteen years ago for seventy nine thousand dollars when they had better paying jobs we were only in the house like two loved ones and in the law was sold to another company and in the meantime

i had sent to the payment to the company they we were with and they were so on us because we had sent the payment. you know because the old company had the pavement and they should have passed that knob to the new company and they did some of that and that was a problem we did a modification a few years ago and the pavement came down but then it went back up again for. the night before the war. it is nine percent interest and the payments are eleven eighteen. promo damage to the. well there is a halo. certainly not. going to mean nothing is going to or the prince won't be honest. how many years is a. no thirteen. percy

and bad have missed a number of mortgage payments they have filed for bankruptcy to ward off foreclosure right now chapter thirteen. that's what we mean about being in the house for you know. i think you need to be able to do something and then pay for a house and sit up in it and it can't go anywhere can't do anything you know can't have anything you know. of people taking it down i don't know i guess when i worked in. the road for that. over and going back you know what steve you had to go back in there just nonsexist you know. one. down in a basement just be my man cave you know i just ramble through thing i have stored away no good no bowling trophies i can sit back and listen to music

and i want to we're born anything coming down here. when i played music i like for the rock i like to move i. just move around just like to sit down have a brew. we can. have your little. thing. this house it's been a problem but then you find this is nothing like having a house where you can do what you want to do and you know you can be loud you can have parties i mean that immediate but i mean you can. come out our grandchildren

can come over the house that's something that you work your whole life or. it could just be taken away just like that you know. my parents never close. lost her job and she needed a place to live. oh i would i would we all been. at one point or another. we believe that house. if percy and bad fail to stay current on their mortgage payments they will lose the bankruptcy protection and the home will go immediately into foreclosure.

i'm going to keep on working. on the other then i suppose what they said i think. i do like to start out with just going over the deed there the documents that lets the world know you bought this house and this is how much you pay for it were honest and worked for twenty years. so our total price at the end of the day of purchasing the house that's what i guess was and i also have question is. three twenty eight three twenty now ok so three thirteen plus your five plus that that equals this right are you with me your total price is three hundred twenty three thousand and eighty eight dollars and forty seven cents yeah i mean now i'm like oh man because

we were fixated on the three thirty seven hundred i guess you know because of the closing i love you have to add in closing costs so you're going to prepay your seventeen is that you're conservative preeti that yeah ok i'm sorry three thousand seven hundred that's still a lot of what i have right that's what i read although you know you're on a year anyway as money goes they started to get a little hot. having a v.a. loan to not pay a settlement thing. we've seen nothing like this and. he's ok this is just the way he is dead of are he think that all the time right. everybody's like cracking jokes and just like most on the paper i wasn't angry i was seriously that was a serious moment. i'm trying to figure out what i'm signing for the oh this is just this is this it's ok so many freakin paperwork in there you don't know what you're reading you know which you're signing a moment when it's when she bought her house she had

a lawyer with her this document here it's called the truth in lending this document is the scary one this tells you over the life of the loan how much you're going to pay for the loan so. i don't think that's a big deal but i mean it's not that i am. sure will. take good care of the things i would like. that. my husband were all right. here right there on. the first to congratulate you as new homeowners thanks.

very much. for your ideas are not home and over the. alphabet of. you know. you are your crowd. got that right. so there are some of them to put up but i say the over the tone of some sentiment is. what leads me to put it down to the support of some old into seems. to have been paying me who cannot. pay me who put them into this conceit into medicine of let's see this little. hilton gave his two weeks notice to the food service contractor at google today he's traveling across town to pick up his final paycheck. the other one and go. oh i'm

biased by saddle now which. many say all this time of day was comparable piper needed when i saw them at the airport to check out of course for one of the known as. the five miles how to see if. we were going to put a king on. so. not a fan of this question. going on but i know enough of the office and asked for money when. both of them went on. sale. for seventy.

now that he only has one job helton is counting on a promotion to junior manager at sweet tomatoes. first he must pass a food safety exam which he has already failed once he's on his way to take it again she got a little. down on. her arm. i told him he should use me to pass the tests whatever it takes it's not easy was. a lot. of a mess with the dense and. then soon his

job is mistrust and sometimes where we starve you only thirteen dollars and change a lot you know paying bills in give. you say fifteen dollars wouldn't change a one. this. hour. i love the job. but this just the part of you know he works late sometimes the key is that's his light calorie playing sometimes we're used to go on a walgreens. the big day has arrived for to keep us church choir and her new outfit.

we were living paycheck to paycheck no one knew we were struggling no one knew what was going on because we've always pay our bills we've always had our kids' stress right. we still live check to check. get in better money there's just so many bills to pay.

everything is not always going to go as sweet as you want it's a go it's always going to be. we're just a family dish trying to make it every day off no parts. or young we're just trying to make it as a. the. i pad. next time on hard earned. soon to leave the. region to gain more flexibility. i'm sure that's. ok damn. but we have to speak. i'm going to use wisdom never employed ever. really

is. i made me get the big call they can and plan if i want to be. battling against addiction very thing that brought her down now she can teach people how to come back i hope it's hard for me to believe that he's going to get a full time job in radio but i have to be supportive family i have to learn and put my pride side in just say ok dan we have our issues but we have to leave speak and i'm going to keep on working part time this moment i feel good holiday. on al-jazeera. one of the really special things about working for al-jazeera is that even as a camera woman i get to have so much empathy and contribution to a story as he'll we cover this region better than anyone else would be pushes you know that he chose to live but it is but the good because you have it all the

people that if i did on political issues. people believe to tell the real story so i'll just mend it used to do the work in depth in the museum we don't feel inferior but good audience across the globe. hello there the weather is quite messy across the middle east at the moment if we take a look at the satellite picture we can see the cloud working its way up from saudi arabia over parts of iran and then gradually swirling around the whole region and this is giving some of us some pockets of rain and snow at the moment and it will intensify as we head through the next few days say for monday then quite a bit of rain over the southern parts of iraqi through kuwait and into iran and that pushes its way eastwards as we head into chews day giving iran some very heavy rain and some snow for afghanistan as well and actually for afghanistan over the next few days they could be around sixty centimeters more snow in places which is good news because we are in a drought here

a bit further towards the south and here in doha there's more in the way of clouds and there's also some wet weather just to the north of us that's sweeping its way south woods across during monday night is where we're expecting most of the wet weather and then that is away for tuesday so by choose day then there should be more in the way of dry weather around once more and it will also be another breezy day the winds firing down from the northwest bringing in some fresh air so twenty two degrees would just be our maximum temperature and it will feel quite cool it during the night that it was a southern parts of africa lots of showers hail stretching across towards madagascar and some rather fine of thunderstorms for the eastern parts of south africa too. in the next episode of techno teen looks into the environmental impact of waste management trash is a big business and unfortunately the smelly business to the complexities of recycling with different plastics and together recycling becomes

difficult to impossible and the science that often solution is very easy for us to have a hundred percent recycled material techno on al-jazeera. surprise mission to. the u.s. tries to broker a deal with the taliban. also

ahead forty years on from iran's revolution the people take to the streets to celebrate or have a live report. to . the warning. for the world. hello a top u.s. officials in afghanistan and the latest step towards ending the seventeen year war acting defense secretary patrick shanahan is making the surprise visit to the capital kabul he's meeting the u.s. military and the president. he says he wants afghanistan's government to be part of peace talks with the taliban it's been sidelined because the taliban regards the

government as illegitimate so joining us from kabul what more do we know about his trip to afghanistan tony. well very little trip but as you said you know it's basically he's on a fact finding mission he's just taking over this acting role from his predecessor mr mathis we don't know mr shanahan's views on afghanistan he's going to find out what's happening on the ground that will help formulate those views but he said some very encouraging things coming into this visit he said that the afghan people have to decide their future and he wants the afghan government to be part of the peace negotiations and that is very important for the afghan government because they feel they've been sidelined somewhat by these u.s. led talks that have been going on with the taliban in doha they are concerned the afghan government with the speed of things which they are moving because even though they say that is a long drawn out affair nineteen years of war cannot be done and solved very

quickly mr zimei has been leading the u.s. talks with the taliban and he said he's optimistic there's some deal could be done by july now people expressing surprise at that so that so he's here for a fact finding mission and i think that's all it is there's no plans as we know to meet the taliban for security reasons and we understand he will leave within twenty four hours and when it comes to the peace talks currently ongoing tony how can we be sure that the taliban is speaking for all groups and i'm gonna stand. well that's the big question here because there are many splinter groups so many little factions there's a haqqani network for example that works closely from pakistan they've been responsible for many bombings we don't know how they feel about these peace talks they have not made any press statements about this it's all we don't know about all the factions and also we don't know how the taliban is going to approach this new suggestion of being part of a power sharing government is it going to be the old taliban or is it going to be

a new remodeled taliban without those but always from three two thousand and one but also there's a big factor here the eisel factor i saw is established in the east of the country they're growing slowly in strength but there are concerns here that as isis pushed out of syria they may end up here in afghanistan. in the wild and rugged areas of eastern afghanistan life is difficult at the best of times now it has become the main battleground against i saw a fight that i saw is not losing these militia know the capability of the men they're fighting commander zeitoun knows better than most he was and i saw fighter this is video of him when he was with the armed group he joined for idealistic reasons he says he left when he witnessed the brutality some of them at the humble mission um and then i saw was very cruel to everyone they killed people slaughtered them they used bombs they did whatever they could i had to leave here survive three

assassination attempts the last a few days ago when a magnet bomb was attached to his car in a crowded marketplace killing one of his men and badly injuring him people here are scarred and scared by ice all the group launches regular attacks from mountain hideouts and bloodshed is a constant fear to goals nine sons were killed by eisel one was hacked to death with an axe. i don't have power to take my revenge otherwise i would have hammered him all over his body from head to toe i would keep him for a week and then let him die slowly because that is what he deserves. with the afghan army overstretched in the fight against the taliban militias are the first line of defense in one go home province where some get theirs and i learned that they are tough and not far from here if we leave this area they will come back to destroy this place again but we will fight again until we die then they are back use these militias have only basic arms and equipment they say is insufficient to

really fight i still they need more and us air power alone is not enough to destroy eisel bases or prevent their operations that needs to happen on the ground the network of tunnels and i saw hideouts in the tora bora mountains are easy to defend and almost impossible to attack from the ground commander zeitoun points out the spot where the americans dropped their biggest non-nuclear bomb containing ten thousand kilos of explosives to try and destroy eisel positions the militias say it made no difference. if the u.s. paid the amount they spent on this mother of all bombs we could have finished deisel. local commanders say that eisel here has men from chechnya turkey and pakistan in its ranks but communities fear that if i saw he's pushed out of syria it will rebase to afghanistan that he. has written this was the foreign fighters a very cruel and don't have sympathy for anyone the local i saw have at least some

feeling for afghans but foreign isolator cruel or their hearts are made of stone on the battlefield i still may be contained for now but it's taking ground in the propaganda war last week afghan security services arrested a cleric and a professor who are alleged to be eisel spies western diplomats report that afghan universities have become fertile ground for eisel recruitment one car university in jalalabad was closed for a time last year so recruiters and sympathizers could be cleared out of a sort of this. but there's not people who are using illicit deal for politically thought against the guard and no one can bring that ideas to work again the interest of the country that in the remote militia outpost facing eisel positions the hope is they get western support and weapons before they have to encounter the battle hardened men who will lose syria but not a cause and the eyesore factor shows just how complicated these whole peace

negotiations can be maybe that something could be decided with the taliban around the go negotiating table but with eisel for example that would probably have to be done on the ground by force all right or twenty berkeley with an update from kabul thank you it's. now the u.s. is likely to start pulling its troops out of syria in a few weeks the trumpet ministration has been sending mixed messages on the timing but the president's top commander in the middle east says it all depends on how things pan out on the ground so u.s. backed rebels say they've been making advances against iceland what's being called the final battle to seize the armed groups of the kurdish led syrian democratic forces or s.d.f. as they've known have been focused on who's in the east they say they've captured forty one positions since the start of an offensive on saturday twenty thousand civilians have left but hundreds of others are still thought to be trapped in the area.
