how many nukes is too many new america has in many ways driven the arms race parties are much more like the british parties down to the there are fewer regulations to own a tiger than their our own a dog. how can this be happening? your weekly take on us politics and and that's the bottom line. ah hello, i'm not tailoring under the top stories on our era. chinese years president named geophysics professor with little political experience of the country's 1st female prime minister. naturally, dens appointment comes one day off to fortune as you in political parties formed a coalition to oppose president k siad. he's been accused of carrying out a crew auto suspending parliament in july and announcing last week. but he found to

rule by decree, positions limitations. so they'll call for protests unless i had reverses his move to seize power or presence i had asked would end to form a government as quickly as possible. i would imagine a few people with us. this is a historical moment where we see, for the 1st time ever a lady who has a prime minister in our country, we will be taking care of our responsibilities in such a moment. it's an honor to us and fortune is in women. see you as our prime minister. women can be successful leaders just as men can and have a clear vision exactly like man. i hope with the blessings of god that you can within the next coming days. nominate the proper names, your cabinet. we've lost a loss of time and we need to act quickly with full harmony between members. if your cabinet work hard to fight corruption, what's going on with that? and it's smith has been following developments from the capital tunis natural boot

and is a geologist very little political experience. she has worked for the world bank and she seems to been plucked from relative academic obscurity and thrust into the political limelight by present chi site at a crucial time for this country. she serves at the pleasure of the president and he rules by decrease a walk power nationally boot will have to act independently, remains unclear, but to be an awful lot of pressure on her to quickly find some sort of financial support that you nivia talks. so they can make a budget and start debt repayment towards the international monetary fund we'll put on hold and case site seized power in july. and she's also got to persuade these other political parties and civil society groups that should be able to do her job. remember, all this is happening when the president has seized power, suspended parliament. and it's not clear under legally how she's able to do her job

. and the suggestions that the parties in parliament could try and challenge the legality of her appointment. and the government she appoints when, if they try to an ex policy un monetary and she says the crisis in ethiopia to cry region is a stain on a conscious martin. griffith's reason recently visited the area and says people there a starving to death. conflict between regional forces and federal troops broke out into gor, i in november last year. and a de facto blockade has restricted deliveries ever since. the u. n. is called on the government to allow desperately needed food, medical supplies, and fuel into the region. yes, republicans are trying to pick apart president biden's defense of his withdrawal from afghanistan in the 2nd day of congressional hearings with military leaders, defense extra lloyd austin, joint chiefs of staff, chairman, mark, milly, and the head of central command. kenneth mackenzie are appearing before the house armed services committee. administration has been accused of being unprepared for

the full of cobble for the taliban. now in control journal many says there's a real possibility, extremist groups can rebuild as early as spring taliban city and couple significant emboldens the radical jihad movement. globally. the analogy i've used with many others, is it likely we'll put a shot of adrenalin into their arm? and a pyramid of steaming black rock because emerged from the atlantic ocean of spain's paula island after lava. from the review volcano hit the atlantic ocean. huge plumes of smoke was set off. let authority say the air remains fine to breathe, but that will be more closely monitored. hundreds of homes have been destroyed and thousands of people evacuated. thanks, but sacon vivia has their options could get more intense, before it stops. as it absorbs, stay with us. witness is next to looking at the global housing crisis of more news

for you after that. i know, ah, me, i lose. and my job is to go around the world and investigate different issues and to

see how are people faring with respect to the right to housing. but maybe you could tell me a bit about how you came to meeting to have around strike. was for me personally, i have a most problem. i have a cockroach problem. i got things that need to be repaired in the building. they were all services. they run you around the circles, they frustrate you, you get that off. you just want to leave. but where are we going to go? the brent situation all over toronto the same way. it's a victim by another name. and have you had any response from that cap yet? i guess it around her up to the bar had to sign on her. she had to sign on her balcony about the red stripe and they threatened to victor. i'm giving you this notice because i want to end your tendency. i want you to move out of your rental unit by such and such date reason. i believe that you or someone living with you, have committed an illegal act and fix a serious cause. on my 4 legal action drug,

my name africa with arden arden category. so this was based on the banner we're not that melting room or anything just as a 1st rent strike. they own $900.00 buildings in the area. and that's their plan for all the buildings is to give people like neighborhoods getting gentrified that you know familiar with liberty village is moving to come right up to king endeavor . and this is only one direction into our neighbor. and we are in the way the news ah,

ah, ah, i only know said or go one point. so that turn, did you go directly to the chart in the greater toronto area, for example, in the last 30 years, housing prices have increased by 425 percent. whereas in a similar 30 year period, average family income has only grown by 133 percent. so something else is in play and clearly it's not the economic fundamentals as you can see from the about graph . so are you going to send us around or what? no, i don't know. i will need to check the numbers 1st, but it's pretty. i mean that it's pretty grim

i. i think we are at an incredibly urgent moment. the extent to which we're seeing urban invasion, collide with stagnant wages and a lack of affordability is unprecedented. so you have like poor people really struggling now like like never before. 2 but then you also have the middle class unable to afford to live in cities and provide the services that are necessary for. and i don't want to over use the word crisis, but it suggests a crisis. so then we start asking, wait a 2nd, who's going to live in a video tour city for? ah,

not rocket science, you know? what do we think people need to have a dignified life? and it's clear that decent housing affordable housing is one of those things. i and it's supported by international law. ah, kennedy, high family is just hours away from learning whether or not they can stay in their home or be forced out on the street. problem, housing is gobbling up more shrinking paychecks. people and 59 out of 102 countries worldwide would need to see their yearly income for at least 10 years in order to buy a house in their country. or to histories. we might say that intersect today in that space that we call to city

and one of them is familiar aisha, which is what we have for which we have use the term gentrification. when i hear people today saying it's gentrification, one reaction and ironic reaction is if only it's much deeper, it's much more foundation ah the 3rd. okay. you know, so they need a piece of work. i didn't need it now. i'm sorry. we're in the home of an older woman. oh. is being pressured to have them in her home because in the midst of the big new development here, there was a hospital, it's been demolished and it was demolished to make way for condominium luxury

condominiums and they don't even own the land. ah, i've heard that there are many units standing vacant already, luxury condos and loss because no one and you can afford to buy and purchase any of these units. so the developments are clearly marked for the people about me around the nissan, which you don't know, you might on, you know, somebody will know, you know, having to live in a amended he let me send you another photo husband and i know him, i don't know if i don't get me well then that's what i see happening around the world buying up of land, the displacement of the course,

people and putting up a luxury that are not actually for the people who live in the community. ah, you don't a person. 2 who will be in contact with you? a 1030 for me to be good. if i log in to my nightmare, we've had no heat all through. april no hot water. april. there's water leaking underneath the st. new owners and taken over and we haven't met them. we haven't seen them. we don't know anything. it can be frosty the snowman. for all i know they're trying everything to me. i mean that you and i'm,

which are part of the, the main danny, this is where i grew up and you know, i'll be hell bent balance or study. here we go. all right, i have fun. i and i thank you very much. i was very proud to live in notting hill when you go somewhere when you live notting hill because i've heard about the film or whatever . ah, thing i like about this areas is the community your friends are in phase or colors

on what i need from me because even if we don't know it, we know it's a by faith not born just 5 minutes and in the seventy's and eighty's and seen whole area change of popstars and people moving into the area because they light the, the vibe. the mob is really cool. the people seen the film that come from all around the world. they want to see where the blue doorways. want to see this, the, the bookshop, it became very, very trend the place to live and then the new school and the leisure that's going to attract the wealthy people to come down to the area . and then they stop buying up properties to live there.

but you know, because this investment for them that they put it in the bank, i stopped on the highlight of london to talk to see properties. these 2 properties are worth perhaps 20000000 pounds each. i believe i paid something in the region. 1450000000 pounds for it. if you could get a hold one of these, it would be 30 or 40000000 pounds and nobody lives here and nothing is happening to this thing. so it's become a dead spot. in london. there was news agents. there were pub, there were a couple of restaurants but the community itself has evaporated. so we we pass off like $94.00. if i so my flat i could not live in kids in sales. i be forced out the area and i've had to actually pull the move out of london.

i can stand in the middle of the street with empty car parking spaces all around me and no traffic coming faces. now, a bit of a dead cell. we very little indication who the owners and a lot of them are completely empty so you can go can ask them who they are. they're actually just empty all the time. ah, one way of putting this is not a job. i building the fountain. you want those houses to be empty and unused because you can play with them.

these dark empty buildings and they are making money. so when people think of poor investor, something went wrong. hell know oh my 1st reaction to learning about this phenomenon a vacant dwelling. i was pretty outreach, i remain outraged me in a human rights framework and through the us system is very clear who was accountable dates are responsible, they have international human rights obligations, they sign treaties and they make commitments to the international community that they will uphold international human rights which include the adequate housing ah, the only

bank called my door and then i open the front door and just like a black smoke, i'll just close the door. very calmly thinking it's a fire. i begin with doing this for 2 hours. that's the beginning. that's ah ah, when i heard about it, i was in canada and watching it unfold through twitter and then i started getting

these details. ah, social housing, a state marginalized community community in a very rich, affluent burrow allegations of poor housing condition from before the fire. i see and hear computer monk graham, my wife, and then another that was my come to to kind of grant myself my dog, my dog, the officer said, no, i'm sorry, we're going to have to go. so i just looked at my dog. and is this made what those my like, my child is a 2 year old be who could lose hamilton the 2nd, but he chose his own name. give them the options need like louis. so he's

and then we will off into the darkness. and then i'm going down and then on trading on things there must have the water pipes already in the stairwell, but then the realization. no, i think it's people on trading on own bodies, on trading on something, something this is that is in my way, i was actually quite happy when they tried to make it pretty make it look nice just for the surrounding area and somebody knew that on the cheap

there were these elements that seem to be a bit of a global phenomenon where you have a kind of vulnerable community, most of the people in rental working, but they're working poor, literally living side by side with incredibly wealthy people. and my credible amount of wealth, the tension between the 2 and then watching this fire, it was like a physical representation of the displacement of a community. for me, that's the narrative of the world right now. one of the, one of the counselors accounts is that if you can't leave no inhibitor, you should be able to say something like that. you get one over to you thought he would be the order lived. i just mean like she'd like that and it will limit make you sick too much. so just disregard them,

not their rubbish. like they've that file. they just put them as kind of like, you know, this is richard town in about. how can that happen? oh, you have a human rights obligation and you can't let these investors and the financial system run amok on its own. i see why human rights every single person has a bunch of rights. and then i have a question for you. and that is, are you a legal scholar on human rights? do you do that? okay? you have the instrumentality that is the law. exactly. because when i see those with power, boy, can they deploy the law in ways that work for them? stuff is happening. o prices go off in a neighborhood. that's one thing. everybody understands that part. and then they

should understand at that point another actor might come into the picture, a monster that nobody can see that nobody really understands whose language is comprehensible. if what is happening here, ah, i don't believe that capitalism itself is hugely problematic. is unbridled capitalism in an area that is a human right? problematic. yes. and i think that's what differentiate housing as a commodity from gold as a commodity. gold is not a human right. housing is the

whole complex. so wow. wow. the previous landlords, i think we'll see you soon. the i think they do put information up. let us let us know that the build, the conflicts is going to be sold. but this is before phil, phil office came in. you know, who is fairfield? i don't know who they are from what i'm told. phil is a subsidiary of black stone. right. private equity firm? yes, exactly. they want to raise each each apartment. he went up to like $900.00 each. that by $900.00 by manager. and are you going to be able to pay that? i don't know. i mean, i can definitely say next year it is, is no way i want to go. i don't have a clue. i don't know. right. and you mind me asking, are you employed just saying yeah. and so what percentage of your income would be 2590 percent 98 or 8?

yes. 990 percent. and do you consider that affordable for you? oh, i think human rights law hasn't caught up and it worries me that i haven't quite yet found the language. how do we describe it in a way that will make sense resonate and really get at that issue. i'm still looking . i'm looking for that. i feel a little bit desperate about that. i maybe i keep talking to the people in the financial field the 1st time to find out. i noticed when i came here, they lived admitted the opening hours. they show with our tenants that they are waiting to to meet them and they said 3 hours per week on tuesday. so every time an appointment is vacant, they thought they renovation,

whereby they can increase the rent with or flee 50 percent. but the increase the rent have no connection at all to the actual cost. why this is very, very profitable for them. me to the bank. we only bank it sell something. we pay money for the finance is totally different. i always say finance. so something it does not ah, and that means that finance is basically an extract effect. finance. it's like mining. once it has extracted what it needs, it doesn't care what happens with the rest i the value of all real estate. that functions as an asset is

$217.00 trillion dollars. that's more than global g, d, p. of all the countries in the world of all the economy. ah, they're highly kind of flashed extractions because they come in the shape of extraordinarily complex instruments. but nobody who's not in the business going to understand it. so complex that we delegate to the experts who are the expert, is the financial sector itself on when you're from a neighbourhood known as a hot bed of radicalism, you have to fight to defy stereotype. reading

the stories we don't often hear told by the people who live them no matter what some of the boxes this year on al jazeera, with more than 200000000 cases because of 19 worldwide governments about 25 fresh wave of the virus and newberry, and there had been a 3rd in the number of people working vaccination appointment from human call to the political and economic pool out there. bring you the latest on depend amick this or had vaccinated more than 1100 people here, all of the migrant farm workers, people on home testing because they think that there is a risk to democracy, special coverage, and i'll just, sarah. housing has become a commodity instead of human rights. is somebody with the ability to take advantage of others, the feel free to violate basic laws, the working classes that have lost

a lot of ground in our society. a un special report here on adequate housing traveled the world, investigating a global crisis, but people are evicted to clear the way for investors and property too often left mc. push a witness documentary on, jesse o. hello, lauren taylor. none of the top stories around his era, jeanette is president, has named a geologist with little political experience as a country's 1st female prime minister. national dens appointment comes one day after fortune is in political parties. fund a coalition to oppose president k siad. he's been accused of carrying out a crew after suspending parliament and announcing he would rule by decree.

opposition. politicians warned they'd call for protests unless side reversed where he was to seize power. if i had his honest wouldn't.
