us is always of interest to people around the world. people pay attention to work with on here. and it's very good that bringing the news to the world from here. ah, had a 100 as g m. c on come all santa maria, and these are the headlines on al jazeera, the united states has just diverted a government shutdown of stock. got funding bill has been signed to did all by president biden to passing congress just hours before government funding was due to run out. i did your cast, her reports from capitol hill on this 30 days or 250 for the day, or 175. the motion is adopted, the u. s. government will remain open at least until early december, democrats and some republicans came together on thursday hours ahead of

a midnight deadline. and with this continual resolution, we not only keep government open, keep checks flowing to, to our veterans and social security recipients, and the rest. it's just a remarkable thing to think of all the things that we can do working together for the people. but while congress has put out one fire, yet another blaze frightens the country's financial solvency. it's the nations looming debt ceiling. the point at which the u. s. can borrow no more money to pay its bills. that limit will be reached on october 18th, unless congress agrees to raise or suspend it. economists including treasury secretary, janet yellen, say u s. government default will likely throw the u. s. economy into recession and the stabilize global markets. it's necessary to avert a catastrophic event for economy representatives. dead ceiling has been raised or suspended. $78.00 times since 1900. 60, almost always on

a bipartisan basis. my hope is that we can work together to do so. again, we probably can raise the debt ceiling 3 times under former president trump, but have bowed against doing the same for president biden. that we democrats with the task of solving the issue alone, requiring challenging parliamentary maneuvers with no guarantee of succeeding in time. republicans need to get out of the way. so senate democrats can address the issue quickly, and without needlessly endangering the stability of our economy. we can't afford the risk of drawn out unpredictable process. republicans still refused to budge. they say it's the democrats problem because they control government were able to find the government today because the majority accepted reality. the same thing will need to happen on the deadline that next, wait. another week,

another display of the partisan acrimony accompanying the u. s. congress from crisis to crisis. heidi joe castro al jazeera washington. the headlines in the us condemning ethiopia for expelling 7 senior united nations officials. washington said that one hesitate to use sanctions against those obstructing humanitarian efforts. the you in staff have been accused of, quote, meddling in ethiopia, internal affairs, and have been given 72 hours to get out. the u. s. government condemns in the strongest possible terms. the government of ethiopia is unprecedented to action, to expel the leadership of all of the united nations organizations involved and ongoing humanitarian operations. we agree with you and leaders. this is a stain on our collective conscience, and it must stuff. more than 22000 refugees and migrants are stuck in the colombian town of nicole li, waiting for smugglers to help them cross into panama. the migrants, mostly from haiti, are attempting to travel through what is one of the most dangerous and impossible

regions in the world. began b, as truth commissions delayed the release of its final report on crimes committed during the 22 year old. the former president had jama. it was scheduled to submit the findings on thursday. witnesses of accused japanese government of rape, murder and torture. a british police officer will spend the rest of his life in prison for murdering the woman after falsely arresting her. sir ever obs killing prompted widespread outrage and protests in the u. k. and lover from the company of a volcano in the canary islands continues to pour into the atlantic ocean. scientists say the island of la palmer has expanded by more than 3 square kilometers. as all that molten rock builds up on its western shoreline talks that gas is given off when the lava hits the ocean are so far, being blown out to sea up to date, with the headlines on out to 0. witness starts right now. i

i lose my job is to go around the world and investigate different issues and to see how people fairing 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 the top roach 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 friends situation all over toronto the same way. fixed by another name. and have you had any response from that cap yet? i guess it corrected burkhead's side on her side, on her balcony about the restaurant and they threatened 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 personality on my 4 legal action drug. my name africa with arden arden category, right? so this was based on the banner we're not that most in

room or anything just so may 1st rent strike. they own 900 things in the area. and that's their plan for all of the buildings. is to get people like out of the neighborhood 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. i know i

only go, i 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 up in play and really it's not the economic fundamentals as you can see from the above graph. so are you going to send us around or what i would 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. 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 cities to or cities for, ah, it's not rocket science, you know?

why 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. i. 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. to histories, we might say that intersect today. in that space that we call to city and one of them is familiar issue, which is what we have for which we have usa 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. oh no. so then either north 2nd pizza. i didn't even 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 condominiums, luxury condominiums. and they don't even own the plan. 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. nissan, you don't know. you might on, you know, somebody, one of them, you don't live in a amended birth and you don't have a photo. how can i don't know if i don't get me well then that's what i'm seeing 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 know, not based on what the. 2 contact will be in contact with you it's 1030 for me to get there. if i most of my nightmare. we've had no heat all through april, no hot water. also, there's water leaking underneath. the new owners have taken over and we haven't met them. we haven't seen them, we don't know anything. it can be frosty the snowman. probably know. they're trying everything to evict me home. you know what? i'm which of them in the, the main, danny. this is where i grew up and

i'll be hell bent and balance. i'm going to study here we go. all right. why? i thank you very much. i was very proud to live in notting hill when you go somewhere watching the notting hill because they've sort of at the feel whatever i like about this areas is the community your friends are face or colors what this to me actually because even if we know 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 vibe. the live is really cool. the people seen the will, the film that come up from all around the world, they want to see where the blue doorways. they want to see this, 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 and 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 whole 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 i could not live in kids and sales. i'll be forced out the area and i've had to actually fully 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. the space is now a bit of a dead cell. we vary

a little indication of who the owners are here, 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 it is, this is not john. how can i get to building the function as 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 investors, 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. i am right framework and through the us system, it's 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 right adequate housing. the lock can we call it my door? and then i open the front door as a like

a black smoke disclosable. very calmly thinking of the fire. ah and that was the beginning of the week. do we need to 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 estate. marginalized community community that

the in a very rich, affluent burrow allegations of poor housing condition. from before the fire i see and hear computer monk can grab my wife and then another. and that was my come to kind of grant myself, haven't my dog, my dog? the officer said no, i'm sorry. we're going to have to go. so just look to my dog and this, this maze on 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 his and then we will off into the darkness and then on going down

and then on treading on things, i think the must have the water pipes already in the stairwell. but then the realization, know i figured people on the, 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 this 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. so one of the, one of the counselors went accounts is that if you can't live in 9, hilda, you should be 1000000 hill was about to say something like that. you get one over. so you thought he would leave the order lived. i just mean like she'd like any room . it makes me sick. they went to my car, just disregard them. not a rubbish like dave that it does, but them, it's kind of like, you know, this is a rigid town and 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 have the instrumentality that is the law? exactly. because when i see if those with power, boy, can they deploy the law in ways that work for them. stuff is happening. o prices go up in the neighborhood that is fixed. 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 in comprehend if what is happening here, ah, i don't believe that capitalism itself, usually 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 of the commodity. gold is not a human right. housing is the full complement. wow. wow. the previous landlords, i think we'll see the i think they do put information up. let us let us know that

the build complex is going to be sold. but this is before the office who came in, you know, who is fairfield, i don't know who they are. from what i'm told, phil is a subsidiary of is a 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 in my knowledge. 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, i don't know. right. and do you mind me asking, are you employed just saying yeah. and so what percentage of your income would this be 25 and 90 percent 90 fee? yes. 9090 percent. and do you consider that affordable for you or not? 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. title fine. i notice when i came here, i lived admitted the opening hours. they show with our tenants that they are waiting to, to me from the to 3 hours per week on tuesday. so every time in the apartment is vacant, they start the renovation, whereby they can increase the rent. we are fly 50 percent. but the increase the rent have no connection at all to the actual cost. why this is very,

very profitable for them. for me the bank we only bank. you know, it's something we pay money for. the finance is totally different. i always say finance. so something it does not 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 me, the value of all real estate, that functions as an asset is $217.00 trillion dollars. that's more than global g, d,

p. 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 that nobody who's not in the business going to understand it. so complex that we delegate to the experts who are the expert. if the financial factor accepts white representation, participation, democracy means that people have the right to choose their leaders and governments in free and fair election, and exploring why democracy has never been working in so many parts of the documentary theories examines the biggest challenges to democracy from those who,

undermining to those who are ready to die for democracy, may be coming soon on 20, discarded clothes from rich nations or funneled to charities and sold to impoverished nations. on an unprecedented scale, a massive industry sift through the unwanted garments to retail to some of the was poorest inhabitants. but much of what they arrive is unfit for purpose and is fueling and vironment catastrophe. people in power travelers to gonna to uncover the dirty secrets behind the world. fashion addiction that white man's clothes on a just when you from a neighborhood, no. as a hot bed of radicalism, you have to fight to defy stereotype meeting go shop during the stories we don't often hear told by the people who let them know my joy. well, let me go by the professional sound of the

box. this is here on al jazeera. oh, i will return to witness in just a moment, but 1st, a check on the headlines and the united states is just a, voted a government shutdown, stop get funding bills been signed into law by president joe biden. it passed congress just hours before government funding was due to run out hydrogen counselor with more from capitol hill. the democrats who control the house are divided on whether or not to support this bill. i.
