and take it out and pick it themselves and if they call me a day before i have it ready do you believe that this is you're going to be able to manage that yes is easy all you got to do is have the whip when you visit only in no time. you just got the grant money she needed to buy the truck to buy volunteering to maintain the local park. just take i was cut with a push. it won't be brought up but 23 love moore's message does not work you need to get a track of leave this just remember we're in the middle of detroit. oh. ok ok so we're going to do some 2 in here now we're going to let you get.

on. and thanks to this you can turn that wears learn that tall grass into productive formulate it into a template fashion because i can plow implant those whole thing in one day yeah that's how fast it is and you think there's a real need for that in detroit right now yes because right now i can't walk to the office store is so far apart you can go to the gas station to get joe but to get fresh food is no way no way around you. need to get to go 7 miles on buses for miles to get the food. is so much later on you why does. nothing i rather work with the laying in the world and yet feeling. i like to. use that. it's not free and it feeds people into taking are you taking i mean it.

after decades of urban decay the city's getting back on track with improvements to public transport services and the installation of thousands of energy efficient streetlights despite being on the brink of bankruptcy in a city investment is totaled over $9000000000.00 since 2006 as entrepreneurs hustled to stake a claim in the city while still going cheap the last 10 years so a 59 percent rise in young graduates moving into the city's core reinventing downtown as an arts and cultural home on the outskirts a new wave of urban farming social arriving. being detroit. being really complete cowden ledley rising pleasure to keep could you see here in the city in this market the computer. you that's where i had heard. which was much smaller than it is now

a national. urban feed. there's an agriculture. world here we take everything eastern market. and the cities the big trucks yeah yeah people love their cars and. people want to brand it is this you know green plays which is great and people are kind of taking on that mentality still detroit still always going to have a big cars until there's. something else that's yeah it's. in cities. in cities be new. we don't use any kind of chemical fertilizers or sprays or anything just lots of compost. hard work. is going to give. this garlics been

saved in detroit for about 7 years now so it does better and better each year because you're selecting the ones that do the best. like oh my goodness the truth. is a match. living some kind of you. dream here. is going to give. yeah most of the folks that still live here now kind of have been through hell and back you know in this neighborhood with crack issues and drugs and gangs and whatever and so i feel like the folks that are here now are probably not going anywhere they've kind of. thing i mean i think that we need to slowly transition to a smaller scale more sustainable agriculture and i think pretty you know soon that like economically just will make sense to grow the way we do now you know our all

our whole in style or society is completely reliant on the fact that oil is cheap yes so once that one element isn't so cheap anymore i mean. everything will change and i think our culture has taught people that you know you should have whatever you want you know buy buy buy and this is not the reality when you live in a low resource economy you know you have to support each other you have to work together you got to share resources and that's what detroit is doing in the eastern market it's one of the largest open air markets in the united states and it's been growing steadily despite detroit suburbanite stations all the no in your farm are very important believe the story you know you got a preferred stock in my 3 i probably do farmers are pretty particular we're up against the standards. detroit's probably a little behind the times when it comes to like the whole food local food thing and especially the organic thing but i feel like it's changing every year you know. to try. sometimes shoots are pieces. or so far out of the 2 miles that you're

buying stuff in season here for instance stuff that's being trucked in from from who knows how far and it might it might have something on it you don't want to see but you'll never know every saturday about 45000 people come here to do the shopping and community here if you spend enough time down here you get to know your cellars you get to know your farmers good morning how are you and did you pick these just so this morning it took me 5 times that i've left the world around me something so i'm like you taste everything you know not chemical make you do those as well you gotta put this in a tray that's good in my. book. what you think about these you if you see me. yeah. yeah. and we try to you know california mercy that we haven't passed but. it's going to get

a good challenge in the city here his land it's shocking there's so much land you think available the city owns it they're not really doing anything with it and can't maintain yeah. it's just caught up in the bureaucracy yeah and meanwhile we're kind of doing it under the radar a little bail hopefully will you know get around to the city moaning this and supporting it as opposed to being a barrier. we we painted the owner of this picture of victimization if we start talking about these food deserts the exact opposite is what a lot of community gardeners and food activists are saying is no we don't need outside interests we have the capacity to to care for ourselves and that of that we know what's best for the community and i certainly think mark is it is a stunning example of this when you literally same people move into your neighborhood because of what you're doing you know and so they're not a lot of folks can claim a neighborhood as is seeing. people moving into it. i'd rather see

a bunch of how this bunch of people. but you know even in the future i would like to see some of the vacant lots are all a big and lots you know have houses and apartment buildings on with people walk around but i still think we even in that future will need something like this so we can go on. and i think ultimately nature will heal itself i think that when we look at on the slots that we refer to as being baking which is a higher anthropocentric view point of that they're not in fact vacant they're full of all kinds of life but those plants i think are really healing the soil that that ultimately is the legacy that we provide to our children and our grandchildren is that we have taken the soils that have been wasted and to allow them to research. everything has to see you know everything grows from the sea and you have to start

somewhere so. mo tell him to grow tell from the dr series back in 2012 so how did they get on in the sense then they want. retrace russell steps recently to find out. this morning on starting. with going to see outside then i start i like to play now like to work in the dark. 70 year old edith ford's dream of a drive through markets never came to fruition the size of urban farm has grown from 9 lots to 32 and she's also added a lot. so she can now grow fruit and vegetables all year round. the

back of the. meat to sell the meat. if you don't work. you don't eat and if you don't work you get lazy and don't want to do nothing what keep me going i like working. for. a few miles away coming to. have also grown vegan foam complete with more animals. and i want to say we only had 8 lots and now we have $24.00 that we keep cut or we grow something on the. reason why we've got the stores where they help pollinate our fruit tree are the props that we grow. you know we have beautiful plant with one tradition

a lot of we tripled easily triple that started easily i mean the last 6 years been full. plans to expand the farm so people can come and pick their own food. i don't like this to be in this city i want to grow facial vegetables and milk at the store but come over and get divisional fraîche. gets help on the farm via the court system people can do their hours of community service instead of paying a fine all going to prison it's called volunteer hours. the people who need quality i wish. they were coming to me because we go through flooded food. many of the vacant houses and lots around. a still up for sale however he's

purchased one of them which will turn into a community education center in the mean time divided a hoop house of their lot so they can grow tomatoes in the winter. we have a turkey give away every year. we do 30 to 35 turkeys with a basket so we are quite chaotic alors is free range is what it along with some other donations that we get. this is an asset to the city not just the neighborhood but the city. i get a $180.00 and i would be going to check just flat rate. being out here in the soil learning about helped by eating good. save my wife and i i can't imagine doing something else. these urban farmers from detroit have not yet transformed motown to grow town with the seeds day and others of some promise a rich and fruitful harvest in the years to come.

deepens nala christian parties quit the government as the mass protests continue also when convincing performance operations prime minister has only added to the confusion over brags this. will he win the protest part the man who could end evo morales his 14 year grip on power in bolivia. and a plea for calm and also loner after days of violent protests against the jailing of 9 catalan separatist leaders. well the pressure is piling up on lebanon's prime minister after a christian party quit the coalition government it's plunged the country into even more political turmoil that announcement light on saturday came as thousands of people protested for a 3rd night in the capital beirut demanding a revolution they say the political elite has pushed lebanon to the brink of

economic collapse a live up in a moment after this report from santa clara. they're up against a political leadership that is clinging on to power and they have used force to do that. day 3 of protests lebanon's army and security forces are being accused of heavy handed tactics which are further inferior rating demonstrators they haven't left the streets despite the crackdown and arrests their demands remain the same that was. not the government should resign and early elections must follow the response from the ruling alliance what's clear one act play out well now that we don't want the government to resign if it does it will take one or 2 years to form a new government and the economic crisis will worsen any will be made up of the

same political forces. but that is what protesters don't want they want change tension has been building for months these are difficult economic times and they blame those who have been in power for decades for corruption and the mismanagement. many here are unemployed some can't pay their children's school tuition fees others can't buy medicine or pay for their hospital bills the defiance is palpable people behind us out if you think we are all gathered as live any from old age and from all religions we're saying one word weak i'm not anymore accept you got most of the sunlight is giving them and support you supporting the last march that the government has put on no more yesterday president how do you decide we have 72 hours the 72 hours i'm not going to change anything. plans to impose more taxes

triggered the protest prime minister saad of how d.d. on friday gave his political partner 72 hours to. come up with alternative sources of revenue for the budget it seems the political elite are scrambling to find a solution but that appears to have done little to called the anger tens of thousands are protesting what has made clear the majority of lebanese have the secretary general hossam the stroller said if hezbollah supporters decide to protest they will change the equation and balance of power other lebanese consider that a threat and the child the iranian backed will have a military way also told those on the streets they won't be able to topple the ruling alliance was lebanon's political and sectarian divide is deep but those who are raising their voices are standing united carrying only the lebanese flag this is the biggest nationwide protest in years but there is a large number of lebanese whose allegiance remains with their political parties

it's unclear how much those on the streets can achieve their beirut. just after 2 am in beirut has stephanie deck and our stephanie let's break this up and said the protests and the politics if we can the protests 1st of all you were in amongst it earlier my goodness the real energy down there. i think i get your question kemal but i think you also knew about being among the protesters they still remained on the streets much smaller numbers than they have been throughout the entire day we did see the biggest numbers on the streets particularly in the evening and have been out in the last 3 days and of course yesterday last night we were there as well when the army used strong crowd dispersal methods tear gas water cannon to disperse them it didn't stop them they're out in full force a real party atmosphere today people singing a lot of insults being thrown at particular politicians wanting the government to

fall you mentioned there in your intro simmie jascha he is one of the. main part of the political debate lebanese political landscape he says he's told his ministers to pull out of the government those are for ministers it's not going to cause a collapse of the government as of yet but it is the 1st sort of political fallout of this wave of protests are going to have to wait and see this 48 hours to go more or less until that deadline ends that sad heavy they had placed in but certainly the momentum is there come all the people around they say they're going to come back they're actually going to stay what they're saying you have to wait and see if there were going to stay overnight i'm sure some will and then there's going to be protests tomorrow and then monday again a day strike being called to keep the pressure up remember banks have been closed shops are closed around these areas this is having a massive effect also on an economy that is already pretty crippled so there is a lot of pressure on the politicians to get some kind of

a solution stephanie this christian party that has quit the parliament as you say a small number of seats some may not make a huge difference but it serves to highlight how regardless of how the people feel lebanese politics is always divided just by nature of the way it's made up. yes and i think also the message from some major he is an ally of the prime minister saying that he didn't have faith in this government to solve what is increasingly difficult situation lebanese politics is incredibly complicated it is incredibly sick terry and it is the constitution is sectarian by nature in the sense of which sect gets the presidency the speaker of parliament or the position of prime minister so this is how it's divided here what the problem is with the people say the problem is that the politicians are corrupt and they've been around for too long and they've been lining their pockets with billions of dollars while the people suffer and i think now it really seems to be some kind of

a momentum it's unprecedented certainly whether it's going to be able to change anything when it comes to their lives day to day on the ground or entire the political narrative in the landscape of this country which can have to wait and see thank you stephanie deca in beirut and now best moment he who is a professor of international relations at the university of waterloo in canada specializing in the middle east it was good to see you but as stephanie explains that this is highlighted the divisions that already exist and you have a protest movement which has moved on from taxes on whatsapp to the downfall of a whole government which i would suggest is probably not going to get it so what can this government actually do to quell the anger. well it's really stuck you know in a very difficult spot because you know the essence of this challenge is frankly economic and i think the stock speaks for itself the fact that levanon is the 3rd most indebted country in the world hundreds of 150 percent of the g.d.p.

it is really pretty incredible and not from mismanagement inefficiency than enormous mother corruption at the very top and you know it doesn't help that you have then this is what got cracked not just the past of course the hive pact society but the da city of the government to ask for $0.20 on a phone call this really broke the camel's back with the law and i think people are coming to this 3 neighboring actual knowledge is really refreshing for lebanon because of course in previous months when we must demonstrations i have to say honestly syrian since there is no sort of victory and since the signs it seems to be back in shia neighborhoods going after a lot of a lot of the many of the highly so it's very interesting because in fact the very leaders themselves here in unity are the ones being blamed for what is normal economic mismanagement 11 people or why haven't they risen up until now the smell i mean i know you've talked about the what's up tax being

a trigger but you know there was an arab spring how many years ago was it now 7 years ago i used to go and this has the similar souls of feeling to it certainly some reports i've heard say it feels that same sort of feeling and yet the people have been relatively quiet for the last 2 years. yes and you know we some of us in many arab countries where the arab spring didn't hit you know your you know lebanon somewhat even iraq partly because frankly they had just come out of their own civil war or own crisis and so the arab spring just felt. you know almost blank fire and there is a deep memory still among the certain age of course about the lebanese civil war but now the purpose of many of them are young so maybe the mouth is a reference certainly don't even have memory of the isis a point 14 than 5 near it believe it or not i think 5 years for iraq for example and similarly for many lebanese that fear what the civil war that their society fracturing from where they made

a lot of frankly the sit home and not take to the streets even though they were just this corrupt yes this is problematic many of the arab spring countries here's the thing though. the protesters want the government gone if the government were to fold that doesn't solve problems immediately does it because you have the whole issue of trying to find out what they would be some sort of caretaker government maybe fresh elections and as you'll saying the issues of corruption run really really deep right and to act even more to that sectarianism this very frank frankly quite a list that state system which is full of patronage and constantly doling out more and more money to different groups is based into the very little system so the problem is that in many ways the mismanagement the economic your ports license that the government continues to face is frankly baked into the very structure that was built after the civil war as part of the right of the remans to keep peace in the country so it's i think we're fresh in it but i want to see

a nationalist nonsectarian solution but the entire political system is built to reward sectarian groups on that premise and so it's very part of the. best moloney good to talk to you thank you for joining us. thanks mom. well as a of protest an extraordinary debate in parliament has ended without any clarity over when britain may actually leave the e.u. prime minister barak's johnson was forced by m.p.'s to send a letter to the asking for a 3 month delay but he didn't sign the document sending another saying that an extension would be damaging for everybody or brennan begins our coverage the 1st saturday sitting in 37 years and with just 13 days until the breaks it deadline there was the expectation of a day of high drama in britain's parliament it certainly proved that prime minister boris johnson knew he needed the support of 320 m.p.'s to.
