union to account. a look you can hear us look inside. what do they do here. nothing. and there's a hugely important debate about the future all to european union today and i'm trying to say. i mean it's impossible for them to people but it is the european parliament that's not accountable. like even in croatia in the parliament you have a balcony of a dog and if people can come every day and look what's happening but you know. 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 you know. it's one of the reasons all of you believe there
3:07 pm
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. that you know that. as a policy to impose poverty on greece and the rest of that trade you've done very well by stealth by deception without telling the truth you wouldn't take the call them i know you're here the worst thing is that he's right everything was put out that's correct even if you loved all the excitement as much as i feel there in the 6. 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 cause he's saying you're 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 think smart how do you explain the rise of i must
3:08 pm
tell you how do you explain the rise of some reason you know how do you explain that it's a failing over opinion that once you turn yes on the side of. the people you are getting the growth of houses across the political spectrum the growth of rejectionism of this model because the model doesn't work that's not me so what do we have then i mean we have nation states because of nation states borders walls and there isn't this dangerous i don't know and democracy here but where is america say what is not here. so i'm going on a journey to understand how come the far right can claim to be the savings and democracy you'll. never be sold one we sold how europe is facilitating gets on colonisation
3:09 pm
privatisation the extraction of resources in secret trade deals like the t.t.p. . the nature of the agreements. it's a construction of ultra neo liberal system will cement culture in the rulers and in europe. and the financial forces behind the politicisation are driving governments into wars abroad. which in turn are producing refugee flows the 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 at least 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 as we know. in november 2015 terrorists attacked paris killing 130 people living over 400 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 northern 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 inexplicably. known tomsky is a prolific writer only international relations and the riches of terrorism and look at news international these are people from the. miserable suburbs
3:11 pm

3:12 pm
discrimination maybe already in your childhood because you are of my story and there are a lot of firsts is in my school and my. school and they let the family just screening posting some boats must seem so but now look on the back of the frick and to trust. to believe that some of the terrorists who committed the terrorist attacks in madrid in paris and also here there from welcome 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 thing or no nothing in the morning i mean when you see the people who committed some i thought they were not really you missed him we've done this a lot of addition they were people like the month before there was the need to get drinking alcohol so the plan is not stand the problem is the money big the problem
3:13 pm
is the do you feel the problem is in the are both are defeating 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.
3:14 pm

3:15 pm

3:21 pm
this is post fascism says hungary and political scientist gosh but how much. i do form of the ideology that can operate within fee 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 hots and in that respect. even this gentle f.g. is being conquered by this logic basically in economic terms no liberalism on the one hand is accepted. of the enemy towards the east.
3:22 pm
cordage russia will call it is law is accepted. and the abandon movement of the. unemployed ill. at such a populations within even the course country is the exception. but if we accept the logical finster now. if you create another to blame for our economic taylor's. i would not also creating the conditions for outer italian fascism. closer for agnes heller whose father was killed in auschwitz thinks we need reminding about europe's bloody past european leaders are totally blind and even have had their forgot about the european past europe into 20th century has emerged that 100000000 europeans or european countries
3:23 pm
who are either dictatorship or subjected themselves to dictatorships either now to some of us fascism or stalin yes and so much you mean democracy in europe this goal almost nothing and even after checking for adverse venue but i do not currently stuck at the developed invest and euro they developed all invest that was the case in spain in portugal in greece never dictatorships a democrat liberal democracy is new in europe and they pretended that it was our tradition it was centuries soil the shores it not. things who value economies going crazy people get to share each and every year at this point liberal democrat is fantastic the moment the economy does not feel that vera that americans there are problems then immediately it is falling apart people thought people don't want it anymore they call for food and they call for their leader and if called for
3:24 pm
a strong man are strong. and it's not just. 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 for. a recent example of it is to be found in paris. when president all and tries to introduce a new law that loses french labor rights and makes war more precarious. the usual demonstrations lead to something else. look at face. for the last 2 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 if
3:25 pm
you. can use of my. hands to be the center is the general assembly where up to 5000 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 product bonamy a meeting for legal matters and so on. to conceptualize this cus 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 enough process of the liberation they decide on the next steps. the economy committee wanted to be interviewed together what are the topics you are specifically your group dealing with the economy commission so fast. all commission is to all or 2 people to be
3:26 pm
appropriate do you try to divide debates which. started by you it's not. 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 in parliaments and institutions. around numbers going to south of the do gooder plus the 1st girlfriend to look down in all you know your place on the tie down side to the pleasure of going to bless you and want you to. pay for me to tell your boss to say listen you know boys who offer it all up and plugs in the real. numbers $100.00 your community is good for going on while will be just that there will persist a transition. in a pretty. good
3:27 pm
. case if you see. what people are lacking in representative mike democracy to put it very simple least representation they don't feel represented the people. 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 ben they realize that the real power is not even anymore in the national governments the real power is that the europe will. be in new york in commission european central bank institutions where all of these people who are here tonight are not represented the dog. it's the same realisation that sparked the 2011 base of resistance which spread from sin that must carry the. words of the soul in spain and across europe to
3:28 pm
bulgaria romania still enough even for a short. the film. 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 2 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 rothfuss 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 2 we look at where dead could take us.
3:29 pm
fly cattle rallies and experience economy class like never before qatar airways going places together. is amazing in the case because you have for so to see it through the incident at least has the potential to be biased in a number of different ways there are too many opportunities for the computer to get wrong who's checking those offices who commit those data entry is wrong to be saying that you're something is wrong to. kill becoming
3:30 pm
a suspect before the actual crime and then depth examination into preventative policing pre-crime on al-jazeera. i'm sami's a down and how they look at the headlines here in al-jazeera now for democratic congresswoman are accusing the u.s. president of hate filled bullying the house of representatives is preparing a vote condemning donald trump's tweets which many label racist trump said the women were from broken countries and should go home only one of the women was not born in america and all u.s. citizens as we all know the recent tweets and words from the president are simply a continuation of his racist as you know phobic playbook we cannot allow these hateful actions by the president to distract us from the critical work to hold this

miss my old bull that i like to call it the thought that day but we only saw the movie one remember how it ended the movie. star it was the part of. the people who take over ok if i only said pete i might add it to shame my mom got into slavery ok she's dead but even if you could be alive to heat and feel i'm cold. v. for vendetta part of to do 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 teary content. 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.
3:34 pm
what we can see here looks like a very ordinary market think seem like any other market in europe you can see people selling people selling goods people selling cheese. but it's not an ordinary market it's a very unique market. a complete horrible economy is being created in greece because of the financial crisis. it's called the no middle 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 boots. and exchanging shopping habits as people grouped together to buy cheaply involved. it's visit today was not an option these days not so obvious goes
3:35 pm
and usually how would you like one so don't feel really in one month. what is that amount of money which is circulating do you know the physical. capital your 16 emotion he says you have less than 5045 seats because the falloff maybe a shower of my friends getting worse and they're just 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 fair 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
3:36 pm
may if you know she wants. some fund for the solidarity when there's more than this movement of solidarity and started we had the just 10 families now after for now more on those. we have 140 families that are going about the shows so no it's not that well 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 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
3:37 pm
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 don't citizen lead 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 2000. it was a protest against what the swedish company had allowed repeated accidents to cure at nearby nuclear power plants $120000.00 people joined hands to link the 2 power
3:38 pm
stations together a distance of over 100 kilometers. after that protest some burgers 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 no less humble who might want to get across and just say yes to. such a thing was previously in private ownership right yeah. really. probably only going to stephany's not yeah. into $990.00 s. that you urged countries to liberalize course were privatized their energy markets . this bottom fall took over much of germany's energy supply including cumbersome electricity grid. until the because campaign convinced the city to buy
3:39 pm
it back. it isn't the asters you know family time via intel isn't. because i'm it isn't that slightest it'll go damaged when 810001 the shelf because i might fear this so i just wait for them 1st and had given fear not 50000 right 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 a santa complex is a ho on the net never and if it been the color orange dust is our. best effort in football has been dozen of michelle and us. but they're only managed a narrow win in the referendum with just 50.9 percent in favor. probably because they were up against the entire establishment the mayor the main central left and
3:40 pm
right parties the energy companies and even the unions. as a share in the we should often. does the humble zulfi of the victim gangs of you dust and foreign take on. or intraday reason and doesn't quote him via your government program once he's in that soviets or go forward and does m yeah that's been requested to not. and in 2016 bought back there and there's a great so now its profits go back to the city. the gas and heating networks will follow soon and nightmare for the energy companies and their investors. can send our home via the tin and things message it's just fired for a nexus on a national hunt bust and this needs to assume the angsty to copy tires ford and
3:41 pm
girl got as it just wasn't my point. after the fall of the venerable there was a shortcut to 0 sum for what is a chanson free market ideology what we have seen in homework is that maybe today they said yes challenge and we have a new kind of enthusiasm which isn't was just to take back the public message. since then 170 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. 2 there.
3:42 pm
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 to take. in a different approach. this was once a busy town full of factories processing regional agricultural produce but the fall of the berlin wall so factories close and the jobs leave. merivale block of the century right christian democrats is a former factory worker determined to save the town and. it's sort of a guy goes every 3 luckily for friedland the mayor has plenty of energy. as a hero i know of course between. 20 up and down and also to survive as a man in tamer or and in
3:43 pm
a companion he wants one and mention god compile your eyes and yes i believe even. when the berlin wall came down west germany privatized the state on the east german economy enterprises deemed uncompetitive were sold for a pittance and close even though he's. taken. to 14 and us flight of our hoods a man does find a niche so if i'm in a normal. has i did dog hard invest but i own feelings are your own flim idly who understand that we are seeing between up to the gold one of. the 2 to fin the owner and as that's an hour in 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 and fear dimension. and as one can imagine and
3:44 pm
feeling invest there so the mayor had an idea to both help refugees in need and revive his town. i don't do it in the nuclear bombs let me beaten to the mention of and victims mutely kinds and arms on this post missed killing i think about it so it's time to see the constant we just because i'm the animal i need to shift to do what it is now that that's very divided let's form an alpha. i am under the flight ship he didn't figure income others are the most my commanding ones on the. side of the shining i was often seen once and flights of fancy ports and. conveyor scored 2. so they've asked for more than they're both up refugees and they're even trying to mine their bribery to convince them to stay. c
3:45 pm
2 here. quoting exchange you can see this is the place where the refugees. they can get free this is sort of folks. you know yeah i know you have no game now yes everyone smile that oh this is gross . and they feel no conflict because there was no. one thing you know you're so fucking that here now yeah come you know thinking that they can do. that much my my crushing the oh yeah yeah and you're going to clanking i call me king and almost. talking to the mayor you begin to understand why uncle america was keen for germany to accept so many syrian refugees if you bother me i'm feeling a bit like these lies you've got through me that's good but i have already one. that's been totally bombed you know you. did it before i was shown the most time
3:46 pm
and the chance to win a business by. which 450 refugees living in. small town there is the potential for conflict and misunderstanding but the mayor has set up a committee to avoid just that. show the telephone this is the meeting this is the meeting of religion coming on shore and trying to block. social services the job center churches schools and businesses all sent representatives here hardly dislike them in the present that even inform them flew clinton here they have me missing someone or you know let me do it yeah yeah but maybe it's a good idea. to the most you can also hold classes rheumatism or just remove for pulling teeth pulled from. a minute.
3:47 pm
then there was a mushroom do or die knows afghanistan clean. the neck of my local fire the water arts version here. this short. while i live all in the willing and. we did the shooting was off. so there was a doctor from syria already here varies here today in berlin so what they are trying to do is actually because 4 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 fleeing. here in finland how do the people call it here or how did it treat you or sometimes it is so it. is so us. as the strangers you know. but in general if they are good
3:48 pm
you live in one of these apartments yeah i hear i live here. from 6 months here i have 5 nurses in the house with me. and but it is a house to go and he 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 it is small and i want to get my in my study of the city rich or comptroller only the way in the bigger city alone but really on how mostly maybe the mere norse that's how most will react that's why his plan rests on just 10 percent of the refugees wanting to stay. most of the population in your role in 10 or 20 years will be population above 60 or 70 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
3:49 pm
applied on the european level as well maybe to save the refugees can be a hope for revitalization of point. and what it shows is that the real change can be done on the municipal level and that maybe radical politics of the 20th 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 2nd largest city is not run by parts alone or in common a radical quality of around mental and housing activists. 2 years ago that the law was attempting to stop people being evicted from their

homes. the reality only got it emotionally was the fear that amanda. put a 2nd on alberto because i'm going to master what he does with. many much money in the gotta go. after kitchell millers in the us then if he feels that there is to live. that 2nd i cannot prepare the augusta. as they would. like it and i must enlist although it's by no. now when she speaks up for a family who have been a week that she does so as the mayor of parts alone or whatever you know. it will feel much just almost on the hour but i'm probably that you know what my laughing getting this morning watching this is the more sinister question was and what if you see and they don't want to but if it were at one of their it just one moment that is going to try to be in that order as they did to us they don't mean yours but can such radicals run a large and complex 21st century global city of nearly 2000000 residents.

every year over 70 get your isp the cent and barcelona they spent over $13000000000.00. but their input is now so huge they've become one of the problems facing new politicians like that peter mares about the percent of. this is. just one of the most popular neighborhoods saw for barcelona. it used to be neighborhood the fisherman. well one of the problems we're having here is the prices of houses. have started to increase and many people are being forced to leave the neighborhood. here we used to have a squat house it's called community here called. 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 here and 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 we're buildings empty buildings to. just to to have them 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 1st 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
3:53 pm
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 would think that you see both the. subject with both of these issues would like to see more visual just we. will not only need pressure but we need to not deform so for. when i say show you have to organize them and walk or corporate if they have to produce in a different way they have to consume in a different way and we have some of ministration going to be an afterthought we have to talk to go along with them but it's still a demonstration why go there with the democratic revolution. so is this what happens when the people take over the palace and barcelona town is a palace. i'm going to meet the merits laughs.

do you think these model of ports alone up but also something which we could call the rebel cities it's not only barcelona it is now this is your 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 see is the large immigrant here for man is the unifying people as regards latin as in the market at the guy and i know by theone air that if we're in the field then we're not going amico here and. that i'm spot n.c.r. and i may make it a. pretty but i don't get any more 2nd fender and as an undersea you have isn't

this that lame and some idea that upper left here don't last you like there's many stuff you must have got and they're going to guess how much of what i want is that put in the dollars not enough this put them out and what they're saying about in the end there are many that are not into this gives effective i meant it would help i say that i found that their last court you saw us in iceland get him or said or not only the only get him or said so but i thought when i mean i want to feel that i may not get an email address this i mean us national madness in the last i said no put this all off. well there. so maybe it will be a network of cities like barcelona 2 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 europe have captured nation states and even the european union so maybe it's nice to suppose such movements can make
3:56 pm
a difference. or maybe they're judging. her she looked over history of the movement that have achieved something it consistently appears to show in that they didn't achieve their goals right away and were beaten back but they left a regime and a legacy from which the engine for the nation travel become. so let's not dismiss those who are brave enough to be optimistic so what we have seen with the so-called arab spring is that it's not enough talk if i ask 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 busy of europe but also the world is watching what is happening in place thanks.
