9:33 am
ah mm. welcome to portal. i'm sandra gavin, back with more great content from the digital side of al jazeera. that's our website, social media and podcast. now for many people around the world, this is a festive time of year. so this week we've got a mix of stories that all have something uplifting about them. call it art, feel good episode if you want. we got a story from jordan about female footballers, you surprise themselves and the people around them with the power of sports. and we'll show you a beautiful film from italy about a photographer taking an old school approach. and by that, i mean, really old school with a camera from 19 o 7. the cameras are for later in the show, we're actually going to start with refrigerators. because all across the u. s. fridge is full of free food. i've been popping up on street corners. the idea is
9:34 am
you take what you need and you donate what you can in this episode of the 80 plus series, eat this jamara. alum? sure. he goes to philadelphia to see how it all works. ah, this is me opening a fridge in the middle of the street in philadelphia, and its bursting with free food. here's another one, and another one, and another one, the yogurt. o waffles dope. and again, all the food is completely free. these are community fridges, basically bridges full of free food that anyone can help themselves to. they're popping up in major cities all around the world, from bangkok to one osiris. and there's a ton of them here in philly. many of these community fridges were started as a local form of covered relief. helping neighbors struggling to feed themselves during the pender, but now they've become a massive grassroots movement for food justice. a lot of supermarket clothes in our community storefront on the ferry state were knocked down. how can you expect us to thrive when you are not allowing us to?
9:35 am
hi, i'm your and i'm here to talk to the organizers behind this 900 pound fridge, a fridge, they say, gives out 1200 pounds of food every week. it's a story about how community came together to help one another. when the powers that be couldn't act fast enough. it's not left over. it's not you can have whatever i don't need, whatever i have you have and whatever you have i have. and that's what makes it a mutual aid. i'm traveling to west philadelphia to check out the people's fridge and find out how community fridge works and what it takes to keep it running. you fill it when you can and we'll take from it when you need it. that's on a brief zone, has been running the people's fridge with their sister sonia, since they opened it in september 2020. and it's such a simple idea. anybody will feel that they are able to, you can contribute. it's kind of an autonomous zone for giving the food is a human, right? everybody should be able to access food at all times the longest. something can stay in the friend who's like an hour and a half maybe can stay or like literally stay,
9:36 am
stay before someone or someone takes it yet. it's not just sonya and sonya. we're working on the fridge. we have an incredible team of volunteers who put in some serious hours to keep this thing running. we do grocery runs around like 90 an full t. m and, and 3 p. m. and then we do it like a nighttime run, which is really, really important to do. that's when supermarkets clear out there stocks outside of us. there's about 60 hours of labor and put into the breads on a weekly basis, at least. and of course, the fridge couldn't run without electricity. that comes from mean as a cafe in community space that sony owns with their partner, key exit. but electricity isn't the only thing that powers the people's fridge. it needs a lot of food, since donations alone aren't enough to keep the people's fridge operating. we're heading out on a grocery run for sonya and sona, the people's fridges about more than just keeping people blue, to survive off, or try to make things really like work together somehow. but people can create meals. we just thought 360 ag,
9:37 am
30 counting 30 car egg, 1200 baby carriage. we bought about 48 apple. this is a very thoughtful sort of purchase produce. it's really important not to just tell people. here is what's left over here is what you've asked for here. the ingredients that you specifically requested from me here for the q immigrant population in west philadelphia and as the children of immigrants, it feels really good. sometimes if you see something from home in a place that isn't at home, you saw a lot of community for just during our time in philly. most of them were well stocked with good nutritious food. this was pretty good, capital onions, pasta. most of the old, the bridges by to use the service in their communities to there's a specific philosophy behind the people's fridge. more on that later. for now, we're heading over to village products. it's like a truck market. it's like an impromptu ad hoc truck market to grab some more fruits
9:38 am
and veggies that you might not find in your typical supermarket. better men? oh wow. maybe on coconut. we got my glove involved. we're going to how much do you guys spend on the bridge? every week we probably send $3500.00 a week. wow. yeah. every week. that's a lot of money, which mostly comes from grants and demo donations. anyway, after that, we loaded up the truck and i did my best to help us for any perfectly. i think until i was invited to stop helping you do good at the end of you, it might be my and then headed back to the fridge to build up a long after we started loading up the shelves, people were arriving to see what the fridge had in store, suddenly books showed up to drop off even more supplies. so oh, so many people are showing up to donate fruit is like better kale to the
9:39 am
supermarket. now there's my house, uses the people's fridge. i spoke to some of the folks stopping by to find out we had a very, very hard month where the health related financial needs that, that really impacted our budgets when i come for 30 years have their live at home. and it is great if keep me. lou delfiner is one of the poorest major cities in the u. s. as of 2018, nearly a quarter of philadelphians lived in poverty. the city council had an action plan in place to help 100000 people out of poverty by 2024. but then the pandemic happened. a lack of healthy shopping choices was already a problem in philadelphia. and as the spread of coven 19 worse and started to close down a lot of food spaces, shut down in our community, having no place to buy food, is its own agony. in 3 months into the pandemic. 90000 pennsylvania workers still
9:40 am
have not received any unemployment benefits. when the stimulus checks finally came through, it was too little too late. as it was for many americans, a number of things and fire the threats, there is a huge up 2nd police violence. there was a pandemic that was global and just personally affecting black and brown communities, especially this one communities like our department taking care of each other for hundreds and hundreds of years because the government has failed to. we strongly encourage folks to just open their own fringes. we can all share this incredible active giving and doing together. so if that doesn't get you feeling all the fields are next story. definitely. well, i just love this film. it was made in jordan where football is not usually a sport that's open to women, but that hasn't stopped this group of women getting a kick out of playing while making a point at the same time. ah, no, don't switzerland allow that. i need them to my la sure. and they are needing meta

9:44 am
there was very strong pushback against allowing the women to continue to play a wouldn't. she couldn't eliminate the bus. melinda, in the little yellow. and that's the laddie key, a lapse in libya, any shape? it took an incredible amount of courage from these women to decide not to give up, even under a tremendous amount of pressure from at home and from the community. gillian, my guess and had when i was met him him dilemma banana. i mean they met in the a sheila said she any more, i'm sorry with the issue i'm to oh,
9:45 am
in the last few years, instances of violence against women and jordan has skyrocketed. and with the onset of the global pandemic, it took a bad situation and made it even worse. this is not only a local problem in jordan or a regional problem in the arab world, but it is a global problem. and here regina ended the most amount of infant i've been for at fellas, but yeah, and clear to be, i knew it just said, the lovely air, matt, no enough. see here miss you that think that a method that it was a villain, etcetera. and of been joseph english. they could have had that deduction, blissfully no. and i was here to make it off at hoffman at the lead. will add that new lesson to 10000000 doesn't mean that they're dead. the she is

9:48 am
good him. so out of mustard, what i see just about done hamas, or what he had a sent was not a bad. and i didn't know what you all the me not a letter ah, [000:00:00;00]
9:49 am
with was notice of that and i had to go with the guys. a team didn't win the overall champion trophy, they were awarded the action champion trophy because of the incredible transformation that they were able to achieve both for themselves and for their communities. a year and a half ago, there was
9:50 am
a dilapidated field in the middle of the guys account where boys and men were allowed to play that women i now they have a brand new field in the cam where they have their space to to bring about that change of perception is one of the hardest things to do in the community. and in just one year, they were able to do that and they were able to do that through football, through sport these days we've all become so used to snapping away on our funds. we barely even think about the photos we take, but one photographer in italy is taking the complete opposite approach, spending hours to capture just one picture. and it all started when he came across a camera that's more than a 100 years old. take
9:51 am
a look. ah it's catching light it's catching a kind of visible light, very different. i don't know whether i catch dreams most proud in my own dream, sir. ah my name is kirk moser, and i am the light kitchen ah, ah, i was born not very far away from here really in the middle of the mountains on the 1000. let me just see load. if you grew up in this mountains, then of course you have a kind of relationship to this month this month. so you would, if we're down here since $200.00 millions of years, most program, they will be here audit $200.00 millions of years. and when you go up there, you can feel it's just a little small person up there in the middle of this immense,
9:52 am
huge nature. and i spent 30 years as a cameraman. i was slowly over the planet working. i think this was something deep in me after shooting in wards though and sent on shooting scenes that you really should not see something gross in you. it does a deep neath of they can picture of something completely different. the exact opposite beauty with something like 3 years ago by mistake i found, or maybe she found me this beautiful old camera that was covered with blankets were 5 centimeters of dust on it. we took the blankets off and we discovered this piece of history. and i restored it for 4 months and then worked there was this big question, what to do now with this camera? i mean, it was really nice to look at,
9:53 am
but that's not enough. this camera was made for taking pictures and not for being in a museum. i don't go to a shop and say, i would like to have this lance that would like to have this light meter. and i would like to have this filters. nothing exists. so i have to look for everything that i need in 8050. they found out about this kind of photography, the system, this and photographic system. i think this was amazing. i could not even imagine that to day somebody could invent something like this. so for me this guys were here us, there are a huge amount of terror was immune 90 have to get rid of one by one. so the learning process and it never stops. you take a black glass plate and you cover it with collodion, which is a substance made of gun powder, cut and bottom,
9:54 am
and it with them are all on eater in it and different salts. and then you put it on the glass plate and thrice down. and you bring it in a silver, but it completely absorbs the silver crystals. you expose it on the camera for fear . but and as soon as you have done the picture, you go back in your dark room immediately because you have only 5 minutes and you have to develop it. if i make a mistake just by one second, that's kind of a catastrophe. when you've succeeded with your developing, then you fix it, you wash it and you varnish it. it's like complicated system, sometimes slow as the on the actual say, hey, come on, forget about. but then there were photographers in 1850, they were able to work with isms or why should i not be able to when the 1st time a picture showed up, i was kind of blown away to us and see like wow war. it was kind of
9:55 am
a miracle. now what i'm doing is one photograph every 3 days and it's just this one. i can catch it. i can feel it. it lasts for some 100 of years of unbelievable in this kind of time. so we are living now. i photographed something that we don't see a photograph, some kind of invisible light with u. v. light. and that makes it very interesting. i think it's worse doing this. if you have this one, make sure in front of you and you look at it than you say, ok, that's why i do it. if i take a photo of, of his own camera, it takes me something likes 2 or 3 hours just to make the lights to fix the camera, to prepare the plates effect. so i have a lot of time to speak to this person's and they kind of learn something of them. you have this huge camera in front of you. you have this really strong lights in front of you, and you are sitting there for a long time. that changes you, you don't even try any more to have to smile for a 2nd. so something very,
9:56 am
very sincere, of your soul comes out. i wait exactly for this moment. and the reaction when people see their portray is wow, yes, that's me. but i have never seen myself like this. now i completely quit my job as a camera man, and i'm focused on completely concentrated on what i do just in this photographic project. other people still don't understand what i'm doing and for them it's completely crazy when i'm doing and in a way to write because you kind of risk your whole existence. and just to follow a dream, there is no guarantee that it will work. i don't have insurance. i'm living my life today because i have no idea if in 10 years i'm still alive. i have to live my life now. my aim is not to send the message to the word. i just tried to
9:57 am

9:58 am
a much dryer picture than it has been. recently. temperatures are slightly below the average as they are for places like q weight, riyadh and dough. we've got a shamal wind blowing down, and that's creating quite a lot of hazy sunshine, but the temperature will pick up despite the wet weather moving. and if we have a look at the 3 day for doha, we're going to have showers by thursday, and we could see thunder downpours by friday. and that weather continues to join up with showers across the sudan, some briscoe winds as well blowing. and it is going to dry up, however, for the northwest corner of africa, places like morocco. we will see rebecca see some sunshine for the south of this. that is an exceptional heat for places like nigeria, a buddha. in particular. it's further south, but we are seeing that wet weather in particular, massive storms moving through botswana, pushing into south africa. but by the time we get to choose they, they've skirted off and they'll be sunshine in johannesburg that sure whether
