4:02 pm
but he says he'll work with united nations to make sure support isn't given to hamas, the group ones garza and 5 hundreds of rockets into israel during the conflict kenning, at least 12 people. solidarity protests for palestinians are taking place around the world. large crowds have gathered in several cities in the u. k, as demonstrators call for an end to israeli occupation. or hurry faucet is life for us now in gaza. hurry garza was already trying to cope weighs the onslaught of covey. 19 there. what is the situation with regard to medical facilities in gaza at the moment? well, yes, the very badly hit. the amount of pressure on the medical system, as you say, was already severe. and with the flood of injuries and the pressure on resources, the pressure on stuff that we've seen over the last 11 days, they really are close to exhausted. and so the aid that has been coming in is very
4:03 pm
much quiet, although of course it is just a 1st trash, but they have been bringing in blood bags and 1st aid kits and hygiene kids hygiene is hugely important because of the at tricity problems the, the water problems and so whatever they can get, they pretty much need desperately at the moment. i just want to tell you where we are. right now. we were in the hospital to report on, on that medical situation earlier. and we met one man who was in a coma for 5 days at the, from the very beginning of the conflict and is had 4 surgeries names, so tunnel mastery. and this is his family home. what happened was on the very 1st even within the 1st few minutes of the conflict starting, this is where a low flying israeli arguments were told by the family. he came and struck right in the heart of a group of the extended family 7 children were killed, one adult, and then almost book ending the crisis in the conflict in a, in
4:04 pm
a horrible way. the family home was struck when it was empty by that stage on the very last night of fighting, just hours before the sci fi came into force. so this is just one small picture of one family that has been so horrific li hit by, by what has happened in the last 11 days. and that was just from meeting one small group in one of many, many hospital emergency wards or rooms inside the she for hospital in gaza. so you just have to kind of grappling from this one story just how many people have been riven apart by, by what's been going on in the last few days. now as you were mentioning, of course, the infrastructure in guys has been badly hit with fuel supplies. i leave tricity supplies, water supplies, all hit. one would imagine roads have been hit as well. and of course that is going to have a significant impact. as people do try to rebuild their lives. yes,
4:05 pm
i mean roads, we've seen massive piles, dividing roads of rubble that have been sort of shifted to the side to trying to allow vehicles to get through. getting around geysers certainly a lot more difficult than usual. right now we've also seen pipelines being repaired, but it's, it's a fairly small effort in comparison to the sheer scale of the destruction. we're also looking at young children using their bare hands to rifle through rebels to see if they can find anything sort of solid and big enough to use as building materials. so we spoke to the un humanitarian coordinator a little while ago earlier today. and she was saying, what we can't see is business. as usual, we can't see a repeat of the pretty grim cycle of people pledging to rebuild and then nothing really happening and it takes years and years just about in time for the next round of counseling to saying that this has to be a real step change that there has to be political will to kind you,
4:06 pm
it kind of think you are hearing from joe biden, but actually seeing not materialize, allowing in the money, allowing in the building materials and allowing the agencies to actually get on with the process of rebuilding, what has been lost or if also talking to us from gaza. how are you? thank you very much indeed. well, for many families in guys who are able to return home, there is little or nothing left of their houses in the outside has been speaking to some of them over the years told me the family was at home when the walls of their living room came crashing down the father had actually been watching reports of these really air strikes on television when the house was hit, nur means daughter's apartment, which was only built last month, has also been completely destroyed. a lot of the gardening, west, 3 families living in this home. my daughter came along with the kids to suddenly the power went off and we heard violent bombardment. it was our 1st time to hear
4:07 pm
such a sound. the rebels suddenly started to fall on us and the kids was screaming. they were flying around. the family left their home with little more than the clothes they were wearing at the time and were taken 1st to hospitals before being transferred to a united nation school. instead, the casa mister delucca for them. when the raids were extensive, we went down because my kids were afraid of the upper floor when we got to the ground floor, my son's home, it was not destroyed. yes, but then the rates got worse and we ran to my brother in law's home right next. wow . and we ran from one home to another. but it was old. frightening. my brother in law only destroyed 2. it was a 2nd davy. my kids didn't even get to where the new clothes, the toby's were among the 1st to return to their home. after these really air strikes, the conflict may have ended for now, but many gods and have now to deal with the damage and destruction coast. thousands
4:08 pm
of homes are gone and the habitants displaced, they need food, shelter in medical help. there are many scenes of destruction in the gaza strip, but only one. i felt thousands of faustine families suffering of almost 2 weeks of lone bargemen, c u l 0. gaza on the summer is advisor to the palestinian prime minister for planning and aid coordination is joining us from ramallah. thank you very much. indeed for being with us. as our correspondent how you faucet was talking about the medical medical situation, but in gaza is in crisis, but of course people do need to, to rebuild their lives. what's the priority for you or the priority is to get the, you know, emergency supplies and personnel into gaza. you know, this is not the 1st time to put a student. government said this speaking, you know, deals with, you know, with this horrible situation. but it's tina and government has been taking the lead
4:09 pm
on the reconstruction of gas in 2009, 20122014. and, you know, said this speaking know, and we have accumulated a tremendous experience in dealing with such situation. but the top priority right now remains with making sure that the humanitarian emergency supplies reach out to people, especially those who are affected, you know, in gaza. and, you know, as rarely has responsibility, according to the international humanitarian law, to allow humanitarian personnel and goods to enter into guys. so this is, this is, this is our top priority. but of course, then we would have to deal with the, you know, aftermath as well. with regard to the reconstruction, and this is, this is something that will take unfortunately, a little bit of more time. but the but the, but i think government has started, of course, with the damage assessment and mobilizing resources and friends and partners, and doing other countries to try to educate funding, to reconstruct gas. you know,
4:10 pm
once again, how confident are you that israel will continue to allow age in because it does have a history of closing border crossings to humanitarian aid. of course, i mean, guess is the biggest prison, you know, open britain in the words because it has been, you know, under siege for such a long time. and, but we count on our, you know, international trends to put pressure on the israeli government to allow the humanitarian personnel and goods and supplies to enter into gaza and not all of the humanitarian supplies, but also the reconstruction materials to you know, to enter into gaza you know, this operation has multiple layers and multiple a partnership. you know, the 1st is the humanitarian and then the 2nd of course, is that construction. and with that we have the, you know, the funding, you know, element to it. and of course,
4:11 pm
is the political part of it. and here where we need to urge all of our international friends, you know, our, our brothers and sisters not only to contribute resources, but also to put pressure, you know, and as to allow for the reconstruction for the supply of material to enter, you know, into gas in said, this speaking, this is not the 1st time we do this, this keeps happening, and this, the word must put an end to this. you know, us trust us president joe biden, as it was mentioned before, has offered to help. and the cost alone of rebuilding is early days, i know, but estimated about $100000000.00. nevertheless, but joe biden says that he is not prepared to provide any aid that might go to from us, which is of course, the group that controls guys or that kind of restriction that kind of political block might actually slow a down. are you concerned that the money that is being promised to you might not come through fast enough, not only from the us, but from other donors as well?
4:12 pm
well, you know, aids in the best and the reconstruction has gone through the philistine and government, you know, in the best. and that requires the cooperation of everybody. and in order to make it's, you know, it's, you know, the, the, you know, the 100000000 that, you know, president by didn't, has ledger analysis is, i mean, the reconstruction cost will go much beyond that. i mean take, for example, i mean the initial assessment is that we have 18000 and structured was 31800 structures that have been completely destroyed. we have 17000 structures that they have partially destroyed. we have 66 schools that they were hit and, you know, affected 43 mosques. they were partially or totally, you know, destroyed. i mean, the water network, electricity network, the sewage network. i mean, the, i mean, the amount of resources that it's required is much more than the $100000000.00,
4:13 pm
you know, with regard to the commitments or the pledges. you know, we always have seen this, you know, basically before, you know, a lot of countries, they pledge resources, unfortunately, not all the resources get, you know, materialized and then, you know, some countries that will lead to resources and they try to support, you know, unfortunately they don't also do the product coordination with the policy and government. i think we should learn from the previous experiences. we called on all of our partners to coordinate properly with the policy and government to allow for this process to go reflectively and efficiently. omi called on all of our friends to materialize their, their legends as well. so we appreciate your joining us and your thank you very much. indeed. thank you very much. $100.00 to taking part in solidarity marches for palestinians in cities across europe. marches are being held in manchester in london. the new case supporters are calling on the government to impose sanctions
4:14 pm
on israel, after airstrikes and palestinian cities. there are also calling for the military embargo to cut the supply of weapons that have also been protest in power. some demonstrations are also planned for berlin, poll brennan is life for us from the protests in london po. what's the mood like for you are well, does the mood of relief on the one? that's the complex, specifically the thing java on israel has. but also i think the public should not be forgotten. construct why? the demographic? i think of the march i was here last saturday when a similar march, organized by the same groups, marched from high park corner over to the ready embassy. this might take a different route and i have to say that the number of the proportion of young people in this market much bigger on the numbers that this march also seems that
4:15 pm
last week it was around 122-0000. we've been standing in for 15 minutes and they've been passing it for the whole about 15 minutes and still they come. so you can say the whole length of white whole stuff that i got recently down to the parliament building. i would have in excess of 30000 down here. i'm a mood, as i said, a mixture of relief from cumulation that the killing has stopped but also to turn and sentiment that should be a very concerted effort. now to relieve the suffering of the people specifically of gaza. well, thanks very much indeed. that's paul brandon reporting forms from the center of london. 30 morehead on the news r, including risky at all before a better life. we meet some of them are local migrants attempting to, you look in the soil, the disturbing
4:16 pm
police body calm, video of an arrest that led to a black man's death. why it took 2 years for it to be released and to madrid. teams go into the final day of the spanish league season, but only one of them will be crimes champion. that's coming up with peter. this sir leica has imposed the travel band in an effort to cover surgeon corona virus infections and a 3rd wave. it comes as the aden's key medical associations pressure the government to impose a strict locked on scientists of warned that if no action is taken, the situation could get worse. when l fernandez reports scientist, a working overtime to understand she, lunk, her 3rd wave with 3500 infections a day and dozens of death. this is the country's only lab at the university of st. java, the napoleon, colombo, carrying out genome sequencing on samples from patients. the process helps identify
4:17 pm
how the virus works, what strain it belongs to, and if and how it's changing. the strain 1st identified in the u. k. has spread rapidly in sri lanka, scientists, and now looking at another strain 1st found in india. we have a question to see if the indian parent is coming. because again, the indian variant is shown to be even more transmissible than the video. and could also be causing severe disease to plan with the her strategy, the control strategy, the hospital resources to hear from management all to do all that sequencing is important. with the latest surgeon cases, the need for sequencing is more urgent than ever. but the lack of materials is delaying vital research. that's a global talk to sequencing region. so there's a huge delay in getting the, the agent either because you have a shortage on the conflict orders soon enough because of that these local funds. as
4:18 pm
muller begin team races again, telling me senior doctor's if called for an immediate 14 day lockdown of the country. this is short term restriction imposed at the moment. working to do the people come out and people goof over and then they got there to get there and then be in do spread off the section again. so that's why you need to have a lock down at the street without having interruptions in between the country. is also struggling to vaccinate. it's population of 22000000 people. only approximately one percent have been fully vaccinated. so far. the government is facing criticism for miss managing the vaccine. dr. leading to seems like this, where anger and frustration the over they say they're trying hard to use the doses . they have effectively to count the current spike in cases by the highest
4:19 pm

4:22 pm
people from that region asking for suspicion from nigeria. so it's been a case of the mountain insecurity across the country. and the if a did the report of that chicago that is confirmed by the authorities, that would be a big plus. so to say, because it was more like we have given them an edge because of the leadership that she has provided since 2009 when he took over the leadership of her. i'm pulling the best of how may use of the founder of the group that i'm leading, that military push against vocal harm left and in general, a better him out of who we are. as we mentioned before, may have been killed in an air crush. what is that going to mean for security in the country? to heal was that died in a plane crash along with 10 or this friday evening in the car. not much west,
4:23 pm
my dear. he was appointed in january as part of a major shake off of the top military command in the country because of mountain insecurity. the president, tim fits to resort for the military hierarchy to ensure that the mall and fresh hands were needed to contain the right. the environment across the country. remember that in 2017 i taught hero was appointed to lead the ground offensive against the book or her in the northeast. so it's a terrain that you know more like an oppression he has been used to. but now with these beth, the military will have to reject the plans and ensure that the next person who is appointed is able to sustain the fight against them. by missing is so dense. and ne, let's fidelis, and bring us up to date, form boucher. i was thank you,
4:24 pm
local media and me and my reporting that a rebel group is attacks the military in the northwest, the caching independence, army chocolate is an army cam, but a j mining time. mr. guy in region, the k, i a is one of a number of groups opposed to the february military crew fighting between rebels and the military has escalated since the takeover. desperate families in morocco looking for their children who may have crossed the border into the spanish enclave . a sweater in the 450 unaccompanied miners are among 8000 people. try to make the swim effect into europe. that's after morocco appeared to loosen border controls. balance, this is their this young man's dream of a better life in europe. ended before it began. his body washed up on the shores of pewter a spanish enclave, morocco's mediterranean coast. he was one of around $8000.00 migrants who hoped
4:25 pm
to take advantage of what appeared to be a decision by the moroccan authorities on monday to relax. border security people swam or waded across as the tide dropped. who caught the spanish authorities completely off the limit. we said we bought it that it was a serious problem. we're used to migrants coming over the fence or arriving by boat, but we have never seen so many people arriving in such a short period of time. and from one place in the moroccan government has been good by spain as decision to offer hospital treatment to the western sahara independence leader for him. golly, loosening of the border has been widely interpreted as retaliation. by wednesday, the flow migrant ended. not that we came here looking for a better quality of life. we don't have anything in morocco, everything is terrible. we're looking for
4:26 pm
a better life on the hudson. this is so much suffering over there. we came here without any fear and was nothing. what happens happens most of the migraines and now willingly going back to morocco about the risks they took into cross to this little bit of europe on the northern tip of africa is an indication of just how difficult the economic circumstances remain. on the other side of the board, i'm going to think i'll just hear a few towing for the weather. here's jeff. hello, i hate to be the bearer of bad news, but here it comes. we've got another nasty system on the way for the republic of ireland and the united kingdom on sunday. okay, there in a 2nd, but we do have some instability across the baltic states some rain for western ukraine and a pretty heavy pocket toward the southeast portion of spain. ok now to the british isles, and here are the details. we're going to get some rain and the winds are going to whip up 6070 kilometers per hour as we head towards sunday. and i also probably
4:27 pm
should tell you, but there's another weather maker hot on the heels of this fun. okay, let's go decrease right now where it has been particularly dry over the last little bit i since over the past month, only about a day or 2 of rain. so we're starting to see forest fires. this is in the attic region, just west of athens and painful memories here because it was in 2018 this region dealt with deadly forest fires. and all of this smoke is now starting to find its way into athens, a very apocalyptic scene. therefore, the capitol region and there is no relief in sight. 28 degrees on sunday for athens, we look at the next 3 days. plenty of sun, but the temperatures are going to shoot up to $32.00 degrees. almost 10 above average still hadn't all it. is there a dying to bury the dead argentine as grave de goes, demand to be vaccinated? all said veil. go on strike. i sell it. you welcome to freeman's bite. $2400000.00. and we look at why new the new zealand government tactics for

4:29 pm
was had told mentor ah betrayed for years she carries the evidence inside her. ah, that will be enough to find justice and afghan as john's patriarchal society. a 1000 girls like me. witness documentary announces era. oh, a you want to 0 reminder about top stories this time as far between israel and hamas continue to hold. humanitarian aid has begun arriving in gaza. families are heading home and business owners are getting back to work despite severe damage to
4:30 pm
buildings and infrastructure, marches and support a palestinian taking place in several european cities, demonstrators, economy and government to post sanctions and israel after their striking palestinian territory. and also want a military embargo to cut the supply of weapons. sure, lanka has imposed to travel ban in an effort to curb a surgeon cuz the virus infection i made a 3rd wave. this comes is the key medical association demand. the country locked down either or 2 weeks police in the state of louisiana have released body cam footage of the violent arrest of a black man. after being accused of a cover up the video shows one old green being tailored, punched and choked by the white officers. he died in the way to hospital 2 years ago. but the footage, as only just been released following an investigation by the associated press. i
4:31 pm
understand that the green family is grieving at any loss of life is tragic regardless of how i realize there is a great concern with regard to the incident, we share that concern. anytime the actions of our employees are calls into question, and even when use the 4th encounters are handled within the law and policy, it can be shocking to it is critical that we get it right. and when we don't get it right from a holder, ourself account, alan fish is joining us from washington. d. c. island. it's significant dozen. and not just of course, for the content of the video itself, for the fact that this happened 2 years ago. that's right. may 2019 and the family say there has been a cover up. it's taken that long for this video to emerge. louisiana state police only releasing their version of the dash cam and the body comes after the
4:32 pm
associated press leaked. copy the state police initially reacting with anger to the fact that the associated press had leaked, but the family were told that ronald green was killed in a car accident. what we can clearly see from the video is that that is simply not the case. he was stopped because of what the police say was a traffic violation. he put one hand up, he was comply with the police officers. yet he was still teased. dragged out of the car, violently arrested at one point, even with his feet shackled. he was dragged by the police that i really pro and on the ground. and we've had a lot about that over the last few months about suspects being left to lie. fleet face stone on the ground. he was complaining and he was morning, but the police, they ignored him for a full 9 minutes. when medics arrived, they found he was unresponsive. and within a few minutes of arriving in hospital, he was declared to be dead. know the family demanding answers the c,
4:33 pm
this is simply taken too long. and as i say, they alleged that there has been a cover up by the louisiana state police. what is interesting is that none of the state troopers have faced any sort of criminal action. they have faced internal discipline, but no charges have been raised even though it was passed to internal investigators . in august 2019 and in february last year the department of justice here in washington opened up its own investigation. while there are no calls for a full investigation into the incident and calls for the officers to be charged, we are told there is the possibility that there could be federal charges within the next couple of days. are wider cause for investigation into the conduct of louisiana state police, not least because they did not give all the depth documents that was necessary to the medical examiner at the time of ronald green's death. and certainly has taken
4:34 pm
them 2 years to release the stash count, but also the troop trip f that was involved in this traffic stop. there are people in louisiana who say that have been many problems with this troop and therefore need to be investigated. all this coming just as many apples as a boat tomorrow, one year since the death of george floyd at a series of events over the next 4072 hours. and thanks very much indeed, an official talk to us from washington dc. germany has declared the u. k, a virus variant region, that means people arriving from there will be quite a quarantine for 2 weeks. and you measure is set to come into effect on sunday because the 1900 variant prevalent in india has been spreading in the u. k. and the germans have fed up. but the restrictions in their planning of protests later on saturday in berlin to voice the frustrations argentina is under a nationwide coven, 1900 locked on for the 1st time this year. but cemetery workers are among those
4:35 pm
exempt from the measure, as they say, and overworked and bend the brunt of a loosened increase in death. daniel's final report, somebody said, as many of them was ready to go on strike unless they vaccinated. they've been designated essential workers operating on the front line as a number of deaths from the virus. and argentina climbs to 73000. but strict hygiene measures have not been enough to protect them with a growing number of symmetry work is infected. and the 2nd wave strikes dying, which goes to blue, going to have then it was there are many things that can affect you in this place. on top of it all we have covered to and thus unhealthy. we're fighting a war every day. the world health organization says the true number of copied 900 victims in latin america is probably much higher than registered something this, you know,
4:36 pm
direct confirmed thing. the virus is not always listed as the cause of death, yet it is handling the bodies of covered $900.00 victims. was not the only risk they faced. principal folk or kentucky, okay. the main point of contagion when we collect the bodies with the families, we don't know if those family members have cope it or not, in their homes, or when we go to a hospital funeral. because of also had to deal with the emotional trauma of consoling relatives and reflecting how many family members can participate in funeral proceedings. the time will be in every clamor and we're seeing people begging for a moment just a moment to say a formal goodbye a minimal farewell. they say they're overwhelmed. that 20 percent of about 10000 symmetry work is there affected either have or of has the virus another 10 percent . com work since they considered vulnerable? we don't normally talk about death until we have 273 workers essential work because
4:37 pm
they used to that. but now there shall seem to be heard because they're dying in the fight against upon demick and say their industry can't take much more. argentina has vaccinated, less than 5 percent of its population in the process which is stuffed as a cross latin. but symmetry work has said not enough to be designated. essential workers, if then not, given the great to protection vaccines, can offer long term will be in the subs. what we're asking for is absolutely just, and i hope the listen to us that to see us please. the union negotiations with the government are on pause while both sides consider their position. you book is how i am. okay? so we know that if we take industry election will only add to the pain, we don't want that because we understand we see it every day as the 2nd wave hits and with vaccines in short supply governments across latin america, imposing it more on popular locked downs to try to alleviate the strain on an already overburdened infrastructure. those on the front line, keep working,
4:38 pm
but city can't take much more than usually the route to 0. 1 osiris. a surprise surgeon, house price. this is the start of the panoramic has put home ownership out of the reach for many while investors are making huge profits in new zealand. house prices have shut up 20 percent. now the government is paying a $1000000.00 a day to how's the homeless in hotels when a reports from oakland, in the 1st of our 4 part series on the rising cost of housing. i sell it. you welcome to the freemans, by the $2400000.00. another quick successful auction results in another high price sale in new zealand largest city, oakland. ah, we're looking for probably 45 months. it's pretty crazy. prices have gone up a lot in the last sort of 6 months or so i was trying to get a handle on where prices are. it was probably the, the 1st part of the al genie. in fact, those prices have searched more than 20 percent in the last year. among the 37
4:39 pm
nations that make up the organization for economic cooperation and development or cd new zealand has the most affordable housing markets. the new zealand government has taken steps to cool the market, but there are limits to how far it will go. because a strong boy and property sector is good for the economy and in the middle of a global pandemic. when so many of the industries like tourism a struggling, the government will take what it can get. it's a similar situation in australia's major cities where prices have defied economists . predictions of a 20 percent drop to increase by 10 percent in the past year. fueled by cheap money and government subsidies, we've got investors who were saying that housing is going to be a much better investment for them than money in the bank. and we're saying 1st time buyers and is always encouragement from the government for the 1st time bought into market. in new zealand, the property boom is exacerbating
4:40 pm
a wealth gaps that was already widening at an alarming rates. not only is there a shortage of housing at the top in further boosting prices, but there isn't enough emergency or state funded long term housing to help those at the other rains. the government is trying to catch up with de bond, but there were more than 22000 people on a growing waiting list for social housing. some experts believe new zealand needs to rethink what housing means. we have your housing very much with a commodity. that's something that can be sold, traded the seat of a social good when we think about house. and we really need to stop thinking about housing is something that's critical for people's well being for people to function for people to thrive on communities. the treasury is predicting a shop slow down in price growth, but at the moment the only people who appear to be thriving, those already on the property lead up $1900000.00 appreciate the offerings so welcoming wayne hey al jazeera oakland are joining us to talk more about the
4:41 pm
surgeon house prices is liam bailey. he's the global head of research at night. frank, it's a global real estate consultancy firm. he's joining us by skype from london is good to have you with us on all to 0. first thing that occurred to me going by wins report was the fact that he said that a lot of this was being funded by cheap money. do you think there's a risk that we're going to see that people are taking out loans to buy these places that they simply can't afford? and we might end up in a situation that we saw a decade or so when prices, prices and value start to fall, i think is a risk of experience in your new veil in this effect on the policy world as well at the u. s. and parts of europe and it has prostate rising quite rapidly at the moment. i think the, the biggest driver behind the price rises are being cut to interest rate. so the cost of money has fallen. and as you say that does, that does create risks around affordability in the longer term there any kind of difference i suppose. compare, see the global financial crisis is that the banks are much better capitalized at
4:42 pm
the moment. government saw encouraging banks to be considered the right word with any borrowers. we get into difficulties doing the, the pandemic. and i think also banks that be much more careful over the past decade because of lessons learned, like labor financial crisis to ensure they're not lending incredibly high multiples to income that's been tightly controls than they were in the run up the global financial crisis. this is of course, creating a significant divide or increasing the divide if you'd like, between the people who can afford to buy houses. and of course, the people who can't always reaching a point where the number of people who are being made homeless or are homeless, who can't afford to get themselves onto the property larger increases. or we reaching a tipping point, where something is going to have to be done to provide low cost affordable housing for 1st time buyers. well, i think you're right,
4:43 pm
that one of the biggest problems we've seen through the pandemic construction in many come to close down. do you see a lot downs and she has construction begins to create in places like new zealand of the u. s. or other countries. you have issues with labor shortages, you've got issues with material shortages bits, location of locked down. it's been a real problem. so i think it's a real impetus, the moment the government policy to try to encourage construction volumes to try and increase supply. and he's saying in many parts of the world, places like berlin at the moment, really live debates around rent controls, rent caps to try to alleviate the affordability issue. but the biggest problem seems to be had a delivery of stock. so actually there is more supply that people see either rent or to buy your global organization. is there any area in the world for you are surprised by the level of luxury home ownership we're covering all just for the

boom and the luxury market in nigeria. that's going to be coming up in our next program. i think the luxury market has grown in lots of the world. i mean, those is a growing affluent class in every part of the world as a growing demand from nearly wealthy individuals to invest into property. and to diversify their rent portfolios. so residential poverty is part of that story. it doesn't surprise me. i think the, the issue again comes round to what's the impact of demand for residential property on pricing affordability. and therefore the government reaction is an interesting thought. she'll museum story that actually the government have been allowed the central bank in new zealand to look at house prices and the state ability of house price growth in that calculation of interest rates. so i think is gonna be much more focused on governments, on the interplay between investment well moving into into housing and the impact on
