on the stand the differences and similarities of cultures across the world no matter where you. use in current affairs that matter to you. hello there i am a solitary and are at the top stories on al-jazeera u.s. president donald trump has announced the defense team for his impeachment trial in the senate is includes ken starr who led the last impeachment investigation into bill clinton harvard professor alan dershowitz is also part of the team here's clients have included o.j. simpson and harvey weinstein cable is on there has more. trump is taking this very very seriously i mean these 2 lawyers that he brought in to be part of this team are celebrity or lawyers that are very very well known in washington and have a long history in this city and really in the nation 1st looking at alan dershowitz

a long time a law professor at harvard he's considered one of the preeminent constitutional lawyers in the u.s. dershowitz is actually a democrat voted for hillary clinton however he has come out very strongly over the last 3 to 4 months or so before that saying that he believes that this impeachment trial is something that should not be pursued constitutionally and that there are no high crimes and so-called misdemeanors and so that's really cut trump's attention and i think that's probably why he brought dershowitz on his team also dershowitz is piers on television here in the united states as a legal analyst a lot so he's very adept with the media spotlight and i think that's something that trump probably appreciates also you have ken starr who was from the late ninety's where he well known in washington d.c. as you mentioned briefly he was the independent counsel that helped to prosecute or bring the trial pietschmann trial against the then president bill clinton and so i

think starr is very well known to and i think that's why he was probably brought on this team as well i think you can read into this that trump wants the absolute best people that he can get his hands on the scale of an outbreak of a new virus in china could be fallen short then officially reported a study by london's imperially khaled suggests there may be 1700 cases of the new corona virus strain but the chinese government insists on the 50 people have been infected catrina year is in beijing. the chinese government they are very much trying to keep a lid on any sort of widespread panic they're trying to say that everyone who is associated with this particular seafood wholesale market which seems to be connecting all the people who have been affected so far have been been closely watched or have been tested and that everything is is under control and that they've said that everyone who is affected is from is from rouhani and so far it hasn't broken out into other areas now of course the government is trying to do

this because we're entering the chinese new year period who hunt is not a small city 11000000 people live there and during this period there are about 2000000000 trips made across china if there's any panic sparked around this corona virus that it could lead to all sorts of kills so the government is very much interested in trying to spread the message that it is all ok if you have any symptoms get tested because we're not ruling out human to human transmission but at the same time and don't panic in just about every business that's that's their message so far a declassified f.b.i. memo says saudi arabia's government is helping its citizens avoid prosecution in the united states the document reveals that saudi diplomats and intelligence operatives encouraged suspects to flee abroad the memo says the u.s. government allows the practice to spare saudi arabia from embarrassment a number of senators are demanding action from the white house the trump administration and government doesn't get tough no it will happen again and again

and again so what i'm going to be pushing for is for the cross the ministration to step up to far these are supposed to be are our well that's fine but they're not above the law i'm going to make sure the ministration pushes now to protect the people who are going to our country. now thousands are demonstrating in the libyan capital tripoli they're rallying against ward khalifa haftar they say he should be excluded from talks to end the conflict which is to be held in berlin on sunday but there was support for her after in the eastern city of benghazi people chanted and he turkish slogans and demanded a halt to oil exports. well those are the headlines the news continues here on al-jazeera after europe's forbidden colony. rule. 40.

2 the european parliament brussels where the people of europe send their representatives. because of the boxes of the of the m.p.'s. they belong to the people who will jump at these to hold the european union to account. a look you can hear us look inside.

what do they do here. nothing. i am 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 going to people but it is there came problem and it's not accountable. like even in croatia in the parliament you have a balcony of a dog and the 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 it. displacement from the unelected the european commission you know. it's one of the reasons you believe there 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. upset 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 fall then a political year here. the worst thing is that right everything was put out that they were going to allow these young people to see a side make as much as i do you know if. 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 or nolen your book in europe and i don't i don't know how do you think smart how do you explain the rise of i must mean how do you explain the rise of some reason you know how do you explain that it's

a failing over opinion i want to turn yes i'm here. because you are getting the growth of houses across the political spectrum. growth of rejectionism of this model because the model doesn't apply just not me so what do we have then i mean if you have nation states because of nation states borders walls and there isn't this dangerous oh and democracy here but where is the moccasin what is not here. so i'm going on a journey to understand how come the far right claim to be the savior democracy europe. net result one we saw how europe is facilitating gets on colonization privatization the extraction of resources in secret trade deals like the t.t.p.

. the nature of the remains is a construction of ultra neo liberal system will cement culture in the rulers and in your. view in the financial forces behind the politicization of driving governments into wars abroad. which in turn are producing refugee flows the challenge on 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 leads to. erratic and often frightening reactions that's couple little severe economic growth. in this episode and examine how the anger and frustration generated by this wailed politicisation could be the end of your opinion democracy as we know.

in november 2015 terrorists attacked paris killing 130 people leaving 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 norway or in explicable acts committed by evil people because of their adherents to a religious ideology but just because an eck this is inexcusable doesn't mean it's inexplicably. known tomsky is a prolific writer on international relations and the regions of terrorism. you know look at news. these are people from the. miserable suburbs or. it's internal problems that are leading to

terrorist attacks again people with you know the people involved people been picked up by the police at least. the very few. shallow islamic groups they're drawn to jihad is. kind of a way out of their group they shouldn't humiliation the. internal. the belgian and terrorist attacks were carried out by a man from brussels. runs a youth center here in the district of small and. i find nice to meet you yes welcome to mumbai thanks when you show us around a bit yeah. you'll encounter any kind of

discrimination maybe already in your childhood because you are of my story. and the last time i was just screaming. to leave. some of the terrorists or committed the terrorist attacks in madrid in paris and also here where from well and 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 she said like morning which is that oh no nothing in the thing on the on the going to mimic 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 problem is not the stand the problem is the money big the problem is the do you feel the problem is money 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 really enough to be on board 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 see a very is the office of. dr karim karim has been studying the experiences of muslims in belgium including discrimination and radicalization here this. is what we're observing versions that if you have. or turkish or freakin

background you have between 20 and 30 percent less genes to get a job. even if you have a night or degree is there any date and what is your explanation for those people who are 2nd and 3rd generation for turning to a more radicalized version of islam we aren't in societies which have difficulties to provide and to produce sense we always see that there is no more difference between left and right they are answering questions sometimes in very our own. many care and white and black. ways to deal with answers but they are answering these issues and answer they are providing sense and if we don't understand things we are not going to slide in kingston sound this idea into trouble. and could explain the recent

rise of europe's far right in the same way as a desperate search for signs. across europe openly center for big parties are the rising political force. in austria presidential candidate or but author stopped on to refugee sentiment. you know anything like it will. be. even in germany the ultimately the few doj one party are now winning seats in the regional parliament. in an attempt to eliminate them many parts of the center of the op that they're sort of for be sure one of the canonical bizarre dominion to perfect extraordinary to secure a false spot any more serious sumburgh the rest of the small they farm a little into completely we do like to get extremist. as you go.

but france is boca bend didn't neutralize the anti immigration front. instead it helped legitimize their leader marie le pen who is now a serious contender for the next presidential election. if she wins she's pledged to take france out of the new. it's easy to dismiss the supporters of the far right as ignorant racists but the current reality is much more complex. in slovenia and 2 refugee sentiment has boosted the far right. but it's a simple for the put price says philosopher sluggish if he got one day for you. with this bill i think it is optional clee coup sure for example when you talk about caught off new. immigrants and so on did you read eat as

a seemed dumb as a reaction of what dish but i won't in today's baek global capitalism dead sticky don't moralize don't just accuse ordinary people how can they be shallow and so once mission i can don't tell me understand a french ordinary worker who feels threatened don't trust. properly but the question what went wrong in society that opened up the space for. immigrant rights you. know because possibly europe smokes and a full big party. and the turks largest in the hungary and parliament but the shit . when you meet them you don't live on that i was there many people you were going to go did you say something about me when i was there and talk got

actually settled which was a lot going to look at me. i wasn't going to get you any. the uk or something new. and like most of europe so far right alongside their intolerance of foreigners france promises of economic protection. after 26 years of transition from communism hungary remains one of the poorest countries of the e.u. . there are still nearly 1000000 people living. in homes without electricity and heating. in europe because young leader gobbled one note staring. at it when a woman a woman i could ask one or 2 put your arm on them across the threshold a plea because a ship has

a lot of locals actually cause more than you got to shag she got a leash for. when you got the to get your mouth but i'm with you not so nice to get some out of my divorce i was or was. how do you explain this success of your big in hungary you're here i'm the one with your side when are we going to show political battle or my good but i couldn't put it on the for ya much as i dear. nandini. nobody. back east at the lamb zetia. surely because you want to go when your side want to live anymore your party to the will of the we'll beat them about what. it is that you would actually fell into she just the way you'll be good to you goes i would have been one with your my door so i'm going to. illuminate your field automatic assault on us to see that he has a just on me but i don't shock a shochet when i will try to look i don't shock. i mean best that she does any good

from bad net i mean heat. and it would get that i think a study that if somebody thanks like you know other parts of fuel. is put under is prime minister viktor orban floated to the right. of s.c. trying to get p.r. hey alli took a stand at that what i meant to be star struck. so you from there get the polish on ishmael commonground of problems that accord with our cottage. so in 2015 or build a fence to keep the refugees far out of hungary and move many wealth from. her other countries across europe quickly followed in the borders were sealed i know. that.

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 as an interior and there's an exterior and even the remaining old left is defending the ins and rejecting the house 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. call it russia will call it is lines accepted. and the

abandonment of the. unemployed a just ill. that cetera populations within even the course countries excepted. but if we accept the logical finster now. if you create another to blame for our economic taylor's. i read not also creating the conditions for outright tarion fascism. was a for agnes heller whose father was killed in auschwitz thinks we need reminding about europe's blood of european leaders who are totally blind and even have had their focus at about the european past europe into 20th century has emerged that 100000000 europeans or european countries who are right the dictatorship or subjected themselves to dictatorships either now to some of us fascism or style of

use and so much to mean democracy in europe this get almost nothing and even after checking for adverse event uber i do kinds of stuff that they develop the invest and euro they developed all invest time that was the case in spain in portugal in greece never dictatorships a democrat liberal democracy is no euro and they pretended that it was our tradition it was centuries soy we should see it not. well economy is going crazy people get to shout each and every year at this point liberal democrats is fantastic the moment the economy does not feel that their americans their problems then immediately it is falling apart people people don't want to tell you more they call for food and they call for their leader do call for the strong man are strong words. and it's not just in europe that people are turning to so-called strong men

in the hope of the comic 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. 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 pace. for the last 2 months hundreds of activists have gathered here every evening for what they call they believe that. the night stand given to us to see if 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 to precarious for and their higher. even when divided to respect. such an occupation has different committees a committee for ecology kmita protocol no me a committee for legal matters and so on. they conceptualize this cus different proposals all right here and then they come with the proposals and then the us to the general assembly and then the general assembly all of them together in a 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 are they part of the commission so fast. all commission is to follow to people to be appropriate do you try to divide debates which is stolen by

its votes. 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 the south of. the 1st good place to look down in mourning. we are all present but downside to the pleasure of going to bless your i'm going to take you on. your piece of paper me to tell your boss to say listen you know boys threw off and on up and gloves and he ripped. off and. number one did your community good for going online will be just that there will persist a transition. in a pretty. good . fix if you see. what people are lacking in

representative mike democracy to put that very simple list representation they don't feel represented in the people who is. joining the. most of them said you know i don't even go to walter anymore because i don't want to vote for a lunch i don't want to hold public 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 the european commission european central bank institutions where all of these people who are here tonight are not represented at all. it's the same realisation that sparked the 2011 base of resistance which spread from sin that must very brief. words of the soul in spain across europe to bulgaria romania still enough and even for

a should. be. 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 they can see in the european union today is that we have at least 2 directions one directions we have seen. in hungary and in other countries very 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 for this but 1st it is linked to the solidarity movement to try to help the refugees and this that it is a creation of a new political image a nation. and in part 2 we look at where that would take us.

the form of the burning movement spied utopian dreams of peace and democracy but how many came to pass they transformed from communist the social democrats but it was a fake democracy people in power travels through the former eastern bloc to ask why post cold war optimism to succumb to darker more thora tarion realities the police called a couple who brought a bomb to the lodge and they were ready to detonate beyond the war part 2 on al jazeera in a 2 part series. observes the lives of 2 children. over 20 years. where insights into circumstances that cheap lives. in a rapidly changing world. 20 years of mean continues with good morning gruesome you know on how to 0.

hello again i'm a star with the headlines on al-jazeera the u.n. envoy for libya is calling for an end to foreign interference a day ahead of an international conference to try to end the conflict supporters of the internationally recognized government in tripoli say world khalifa haftar should be excluded from the talks and balin on sunday but a many in the eastern city of benghazi say that after his forces are legitimate the warlord launched an offensive to take tripoli last april not what everyone had explains how the conflict on the ground is affecting diplomatic negotiations everybody knows this is not going to be solved soon here in the west of the

camp do you allude to the government of national accord people have been calling to recall but at the same time the are reaching reaching that they are calling for the international community to put pressure on hospital to pull out his forces from salt saw them simply as a prerequisite for any peaceful settlement to this conflict the scale of an outbreak of a new virus in china could be followed and then officially reported a study by london's imperial college suggests there may be 1700 cases of this new coronavirus strain but the chinese government insists only 50 people have been infected us president donald trump has unveiled the defense team for his upcoming impeachment trial in the senate kenneth starr is one of the most high profile lawyers to sign up he led the last impeachment investigation into former president bill clinton a declassified f.b.i.

memo says saudi arabia's government is helping its citizens avoid prosecution in the united states the document reveals that saudi diplomats and intelligence operatives encourage suspects to flee abroad the memo also says the u.s. government allows the practice in order to spare saudi arabia from embarrassment a number of senators are demanding action from the white house. a car bomb has exploded in somalia in an apparent attack on turkish contractors it happened in the town of a that's northwest of the capital mogadishu the turkish embassy in somalia says at least 11 people were injured the turkish engineers were having lunch with somali police at the time of the attack well those are the headlines and all the more news here europe's forbidden colony day stay with us on al-jazeera. the.

2 2 2 2 2 old ball if they like to call it the thought that day thought popped through we all saw the movie part one remember how the movie crowd in a goody small store that was the problem and the people over ok is the only shit beat i mean what is it to shame my mother into slavery ok she's dead but even if she would be alive to feel i'm cold. the thought of in debt that part of to do

but what happened dim 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. what we can see here looks like a very ordinary market think seem like any other market in europe you can see people selling not people selling for 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 goods. and exchanging shopping habits as people grouped together to buy cheaply in bulk. it's visit today no business not so business goes and usually we have. one. meal really in one month. what is the amount of money which is circulating do you know if it's because. someone 60. you have less than $5045.00. because people have a very very short of money for getting where they're getting worse because of the crisis in. the community right market also asks everyone to help support those in

need because the producers have to give a percentage of the sales in food for the family 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 may if your she wants. some food for the soul and that is when this more this movement of solidarity started we had the just 10 families now after for now more on those. we have 140 families that need our shows so no it's not known and we don't want the staging falls week. this is a. moment of the people of peoples who have the power. they

feel the power but they couldn't rely anymore on the government and on the other kind they didn't want to sell their goods for the supermarkets what they find particularly interesting as someone who was born in yugoslavia. we should experiment of its whole 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 describe themselves as socially. you see such things it gives us hope that include opinion things football 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 braver. 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 2010. it was a protest against what in fact the swedish company had allowed repeated accidents to cure at nearby nuclear power plants. so 120000 people joined hands to link the 2 power 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 rarely. visit and i'm on fundy at many a fun time book even just warm for one last time most of my at one time if it wasn't just a guest at the time. so such a thing was previously in private ownership right yeah. real. public

only good to stephany's not yeah. into $990.00 s. that you urged countries to liberalize course were privatized their energy markets . to this bottom fall took over much of germany's energy supply including cumbersome electricity grid. until they because campaign convinced the city to buy back. the reasons i asked as he. doesn't. think there's a marriage this isn't that slightest little damage. one in 10000 on the show because i'm just so i just prefer folks in charge of a few not from 30000 right to do. and what were the main arguments of the campaign . the nets are in us and john paul fundament busy friday in any event i know that some can you know even a santa complex is

a ho on the net never and if have been no color orange dust is our. best effort in for the highest when dozen of michigan. but they 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 coast and right parties the energy companies and even the unions. as a share in the we should often. does the humble zefi of the victim gangs of you dust and foreign take on an entree reasoning and doesn't quote him via poor 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 it's profits go back to the city. the gas and heating networks will follow soon one nightmare for the energy companies and their investors. can send our home via the tin and things made fish then it's just wired for a nexus 100 best and us needs to assume the angst to copy tires for him girl got as it just wasn't my point. after the fall of the venom hole that was your job to 0 sum for how much is a chanson free market ideology what we have seen in home work 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. on my journey i've seen refugees forced to live 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 barely 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 a family guy goes up to 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 a companion it's one and mention god compile your eyes and yes i believe. 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 the normal force as i did our guard in-vitro by.

your own trim i lay who understand that we are seeing between the up in the cold war and. in the encounters that's an hour and 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 can feel any mention. of as one can imagine and feeling and death 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 begin for the mention of and victims with the kinds and forms on this most missed killing iraqi border. so it's time to see who comes and we just because i'm the animal i need to shift to do what it is now that that's very vital nets for men often. under the flight ships he didn't figure income or use our

most much we're doing ones on. the side of the shining i ones often get seen parts and flights of fancy parts and daddy has to convince court 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 2 here. floating 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 a very small that oh that's just gross. and they feel no conflict because there was no real good men. there one point. 000-000-0000 so fucking that here now yeah come you know thinking that they can do.

that much money my crushing the yeah yeah and you're going to clanking i can be 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 bomb me i'm feeling a bit like these guys and guys with me that's good but i have already one. that's been totally bombed here like. this before i know my show on almost 100 chance to win a business by. with $450.00 refugees living in the. 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 on the walls or trying to block. social services the job center churches schools and businesses all sent

representatives here hardly dislike them in the present that even from them through clinton here they have me missing someone or you know let me do it yeah i got the yeah but maybe it's a good idea to drop to the most you can also hold classes rheumatism or just remove brand new teeth pulled from. fruit young via a minute. then there was a mushroom do or die nose of god this time clean. the neck of my local fire the water arts version here. this short. while i live all in the willing and. we did this leave us off. so there was a doctor from syria already here various here today in berlin so what they're 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 who live here or how did it treat you are sometimes it is so it. is so us. as the strangers you know. but in general if they are good you live in one of these apartments yeah i hear i live here. from 6 months here i have 5 verses in the house with me. and but it is a house it would be would you stay in friedland if you would find a job here or do you know right there small is if the small yeah it is small and i want to get my in my study of their city ritual can probably only do in no bigger city. 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 applied on the european level as well maybe the size of the refugees can be awful for revitalisation of point. and what it shows is that the real change can be done on the municipal level and that may be 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 kabul 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. that ran until we got it in motion he has to get him in the. book a 2nd on alberto because i'm going to ask what he does with. many more than in the gotta go. after kitchell miller's immunization if he feels that there is laid this out here simply that secular cannot prepare the augusta. as they would. look at an image in a list i know it's by no. now when she speaks up for a family who have been the week that she does so as the mayor of parts alone or

whatever you know it wasn't much based on most of the out but i'm probably that you know what my laughing getting this morning i think this is one of the worse it is that after all that was and we feel they donated what if it were at one of the cinema the richest woman that is going to try to be in that order as they did to us they don't mean yours you know but can such radicals run a large and complex 21st century global city of nearly 2000000 residents. every year over $7000000.00 sure is the cent on 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 on it which is one of the most popular neighborhood saw for barcelona. it used to be labor for the fisherman. well one of the problems we're having here is that 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 squatter 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 are trying to foster in comparative how seeing new forms of tenancy and hearing of us and on it what we've been doing is we've been forcing banks to negotiate with the city council to give us you know a building's empty buildings to. just go to have them for for social rental.

and that's very important i mean we don't depend on bonds because we haven't mine and shared 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 a city council we don't have all the legislative power to do 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 because the. summit was both of these issues would like to see more political just we. will not only need pressure but we need to not the form subform. and i say show them how to organize them and walker operatives they have

to produce in a different way they have to conceal in a different way and we assume the ministration going to be an afterthought we have to talk to go along with them but it's still a demonstration point though that 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 meritless. 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 i 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 isn't

a widow but yes and canal. the luckily she's the lady mccarthy format is the unifying people as regards the latter half 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 in. that spot in thea and i may make it a. pretty but i don't get any more 2nd fender and i was going under still have this case on this that lehman time i get up or left here don't last you like there's a solid restart you must have got out and they're going to guess how much of what i want to put in the dollars not enough this put them out and what they're seeing what in the end there are many that are not into this k ok it is effective i meant it will go up i say that i find that there's the last call you saw us in iceland get him or said or not own that you'll see only get it most there so what i thought when i mean i when i see that i may not get an email address the other semi us actual madness in the last i said no put this all off. for them. so maybe it will

be a network of cities like barcelona 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 a difference. or maybe they're judging. her she looked over history with a 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 for the nation for all because here 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 will come in take integrate precisely the experience of the patients and be aware that all 'd of europe but also the world is watching what is happening in place thanks. the huge widespread rash of showers across much of the amazon basin in the name of
