a long way to address in the global food crisis. the agreement was made during talks in istanbul and evolve, forming a coordination center to ensure the safety of supply routes. un texture general says the deal is a ray of hope for the world, but wounds piece in ukraine is still some way off. today is symbol. we have seen the critical step, a step forward to ensuring the safe and secure exports of you could any food products through the black sea. in the world darkened by global cries is today. at last we have a rate of hope array of hopes to ease human sufferings, and alleviate hunger at on the walls array of hope to support developing countries and the most vulnerable people. a day of hope to bring a marriage with of much needed the ability to the global food system. joe biden has arrived in israel and the 1st leg of his 1st middle,

a 1st visit to the middle east. as you, as president. he was greeted in televi fires, ready? prime minister. yay le peed. i'm also meet palestinian leaders in the occupied westbank. those the top stories do stay with us here. now did hear witness is up. next. i'll be that morning for you after that. thanks for watching. ah ah

and my job is to go around the world, investigate different housing issues and to the see how are people ferrying 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 for me personally. i know most problem i have a talk roach problem. i've got things that need to be repaired in the building. they withhold services, they run you around in circles, they frustrate you, you get that off. you just want to leave. but where we can go that run situation all over toronto's the same way. there is addiction by another name. and have you had any response from that cap yet? i guess it's rather harassing bart have a sign on her. she have a sign on her balcony about the red stripe and they threatened her 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 has committed an illegal act as a series critic, ality. yeah. on my record legal action, guns and drugs. and oh my god, a shame after her with arden arden category there. yeah. so this was based on the banner. yeah. you know, we're not bad mouthing room or anything just as may 1st rent strike. yeah. they own 19 buildings in the area and that's their plan for all the buildings is to give people like us. so the neighborhoods getting gentrified up, you know, familiar with liberty village. it's moving, it's come right up to king and duffer and, and this is, it's only one direction into our neighbor and we're in the way.

ah, ah ah, no, i own a. i only go if you're so nice that or go so that church 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

a 133 percent. so something else is in play and clearly it's not the economic fundamentals as you can see from the above graph. so are you going to send this or what 9 am? i would need to check the numbers 1st, but it's pretty. i mean that it's pretty gram. ah, i think we are at a incredibly urgent moment. the extent to which we're seeing urban ization 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 city. i don't want to over used the word crisis, but it suggests a crisis. so then we start asking, wait a 2nd, who's going to live in cities? who are cities for, ah, ah, it's not tom rocket science sina. 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 and it's supported by international law. kennedy heights family is just hours away from learning whether or not they can stay in their home or be forced out on the strings. 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. there are 2 histories we might say that intersect to day in that space that we called the city and one of them is familiar aisha, which is so what we have for which we have used to 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 foundational. cool. a fill in even though. so then the, the north pizza. i see i then you know, now i don't,

i mean that worries we're in the home of an older woman breaker. a is being pressured to abandon her home because it's in the midst of these 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 this land. i've heard that there are many units standing, bake it already, luxury condos and loss because no one invoke body so can afford to buy and purchase any of these units. so these developments are clearly not for the people about 8th them. mm hm. oh yeah. you did in the me so it was you don't know what's going on a saturday, you know, cutting billy then only will it amended feed whether or not

you would have a photo hybrid. i don't know, but it well this is what i'm seeing happening around the world by and up of land, the displacement of the poorest people and the putting up a luxury in it or not actually for the people who live in the community. i own a person on the contact room for no being to conduct their stuff. i you hayden, a 10th of a demo. you know, get a silly motion to my nightmare. we've had no heat all through. april. no hot water falls through april. there's water leaking underneath the new owners and taken over. we haven't

met some, we haven't seen them. we don't know anything. it could be frosty the snowman. for all i know they're trying everything to be sent off. i mean that you what, i'm, what your budget and i mean actually been, danny, this is where i grew up. and i know i'll be hell bent and balance. i'm going to make your study. here. we go. all right. bye. have a good . thank you very much. yeah, it's very good. i was very proud to maybe not, you know, when you go somewhere watching notting hill cuz i've heard about the field.

whatever. ah, yeah. hang on like about this areas, is the community. you know, you're frames are all face. all colors is one wedge. this community is actually finding the cases even if we don't know each other. we know of a by faith, i was born just 5 minutes from here and in the seventy's and eighty's and seen, oh, area change of some pop stars and people moving into the area because they light, the vibe to live is really cool. the people seen the will will film, they come from all around the world, they want to see where the blue doorways. they want to see this, that the bookshop, it became very, very trendy places to live. and then the new school

ledger center that's going to attract the wealthy people to come down to the area. and then they stop by and up properties that need to live there. but you know, because they saw fantastic investment for them better and put in the bank. so our 1st stop on the highlight tour of london to talk receive properties. these 2 properties are, were, is perhaps $20000000.00 pounds each. i believe mr. aid coming in the original 40 or 50000000 pounds forward. 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, ah news agents, there were pubs, there were a couple of restaurants. but the community itself has evaporated.

to leave the parcel flight, 94. if i so my fly, i could not live in kids and shall say, i'll be forced out the area and i'll have to, i see 40 move out of london. i can stand in the middle of the street with m to car parking spaces all around me and no traffic coming. the space is now a bit of a dead. so we very little indication of who the owners are and a lot of them are completely empty. so you, you can go up and ask them who they are, they're actually just empty all the time. ah, one way of putting it is, this is not at all about housing. ah,

the buildings they function as, as you want those houses to be empty and unused because you can play with them. reach these dark empty buildings and they are making money. so when people think of poor investor, something went wrong. hell no. oh. my 1st reaction to learning about this phenomenon of vacant dwellings, i was pretty outreach. i remain outraged in the human rights framework and through the u. n. system, it's very clear who was accountable states states are responsible, they have internationally 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 radio. and that's the real block a. so we can call to my pool, and then i open the front door as a blanket oh, black smoke, disclosable. very common thinking of is a fire. ah one with you right now is the beginning of the file. we've still, we need for 2 and a half hours. that's the beginning. that's

ah. when i heard about it, i was in canada and watching it unfold, 3, twitter and then i started getting these details. social housing estate, marginalized community community, sat in a very rich, affluent burrow allegations of poor housing conditions from before the fire. ah, and i see an arm here come through this month. god grant my wife and then another on. and that was my come to to kind of grab myself said, how about my dog, my dog, the officer said no, i'm sorry. we're gonna have to go. so just look to my dog. and i. is

this an amazing what those my lot, my child is a to you o. b, who could louis hamilton the 2nd, but he chose his own name, given the options need, like louis oak saw his and the room will off into the darkness. and then on going down and then on treading on things fig. oh, there must have the water pipes already in the stairwell but then a realization. no, i figured people off on treading on own i'm bodies on treading on something. something this is that is in my way, i was actually quite happy when they put, clad in to make it pretty make it look nicest for the surrounding area.

and somebody knew that the dirt on the cheek. 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 i 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 i had one of the counselors while the counselor said, if you can't live in no, and he'll day should newton beamed. louisville was,

will about to say several other did you get, we'll go from. so he's not people that live there or their lives. i just mean like she like that me. and this will limit, make me sick. you want to, why briefly it's mark. well, just disregard them, not their rubbish. like they have that file. they just put them as like, it was like, you know, this is the richest all in the bottom. how come out? oh, you have human rights obligations easy, 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 a, you are legal scholar on human rights. you just okay, yes. all right. you have the instrumentality that is the law. exactly. because what i see is those with power board, can they deploy the law in ways that work for their stuff is happening. you

know, ah, prices go up in the neighborhood that is fixed. that's when the everybody understands that part. and then they should understand that at that point, another actor might come into the picture, a monster that nobody can see that nobody really understands whose language is incomprehensible. who is this? 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 differentiates housing as

a commodity from gold as the commodity gold is not a human right. housing is ah with wow. wow. the previous landlords i think was c a c d. i think they did put information up let, let us know that the bill due to conflicts is going to be sold. but this is before phil. phil. phil came it. do you know who is fairfield? i don't know who they are from what i'm told to pay a bill is a subsidiary of mom. is a black stone. right. private equity firm? yes, exactly. they want to raise each each accommodate the rent up to like $900.00 each . that is by $900.00 by margin. and are you going to be able to pay that? i don't know. i mean, i can definitely say next it is, isn't it?

we have one to go. i don't have a clue. i don't know. right. and do you mind me asking, are you employed design? yeah. and so what percentage of your income would this be 2590 percent 190 assay gallery. yes. 9090 percent. do you consider that affordable for you? and 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. so maybe i need to keep talking to the people in the financial field. the 1st title find out. i notice when i came here with laurie lived admitted the opening

hours. they show with our tenants that they are willing to, to me from under this is 3 hours or week them on tuesdays. so every time an appointment is vacant, they thought this renovation, whereby they can increase the rents. wheeler of free 50 percent. but these are increased, rents have no connection at all to the actual costs. why this is very, very profitable for them. ah, my name is sherry tissue from the back. we only back, that's fine. you know, it's still something we pay money for. finance is totally different, i always say finance. so something it does not and that means that finance is basically an extract finance. it's like mining once it has extracted what it

needs. it doesn't care what happens with the rest, hulu, 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 economies in the world. ah, they're highly cannon flashed extractions because they come in the shape of extraordinarily complex instruments that nobody who's not in the business can understand it. so complex that we delegate to the experts who are the experts, is the financial sector itself.

a time with sake that he'd been home and then international anti corruption,

excellence award boat. now for your hero, discover a world of difference determination. i'm talking about when we are moving to treat them with chance. so just knowing the 16 people with corruption and compassion, al jazeera wound, a selection of the best films from across our network of channels. lou. hello, a learned taylor in london with the top stories on al jazeera, a nationwide curfew is now in effect in sri lanka, after security forces fired tear gas at protested in the capital, colombo,

thousands of people rallied outside the offices of prime minister renelle, which were missing to demand his resignation, he's been appointed acting president, protest as scale to was or broke through the gates. united nations has progress has been made on a deal to secure the export of ukrainian grain and could go a long way to addressing the global food crisis. the agreement was made during talks in istanbul and involves forming a coordination center to ensure the safety of supply root. the u. n. t extra general says the deal as a ray of hope for the world, but warns at peace in ukraine is still some way off to day. in istanbul, we have seen that critical step by step forwards to ensuring the safe and secured export of ukrainian food products through the black sea in the world darkened by global crisis to they. at last, we have a ray of hope,

a ray of hope to ease human suffering and alleviate hunger on the world's array of hope to support developing countries and the most vulnerable people. a day of hope to bring good measure of much needed the ability to the global foot system. joe biden has arrived in israel and the 1st leg of his 1st visit to the middle east as you, as president. he was greeted in tel aviv by israeli prime minister jojo le peed arden will submit to palestinian leaders in the occupied. west bank is been a steadfast supporter of israel for decades. and he's also expected to face questions about the killing of palestinian american journalist sharing of luckily the us inflation rate has hit a new 40 year high of 9 point one percent. a shopper increased and had been predicted prices of food and housing arising much faster than the average u. s. income loyal prices have dropped

a little. the cost of petrol and diesel is still far higher than a year ago. and the se black and hispanic americans are being hardest hit by writing costs. those are the top stories to stay with this witness continues. next, we back out to that with the user to join me then if you can. thanks watching my for the good by you, i'll see here and ryan a call come on be with the largest real estate, private equity firm in the world. we've got investments and people around the globe, but by keeping our business entrepreneurial we can move very, very quickly. john gray is the global head of real estate for blackstone group,

which is the world's largest private equity manager. so one of the market you went into was a single family homes, and i know you have a big portfolio at 50000 or yes. how do you even find 50000? yeah. as a buyer, you need a, a global financial crisis for that to occur. you're sitting around in 2011. you're saying, where is there a large pool of assets that are going to be sold by financial institutions at big discounts to underlying replacement costs. and it was pretty obvious. it was single family homes would spend $25000.00 or so fixing them up. and then let's random out and make income producing assets out of them like an apartment business, but just not in one large complex. but if we do it in enough scale, i was just poking around, trying to get my head around some of the stuff around hedge funds and buying app distress, mortgages and all of that. and i went on to the blackstone website i,

i've worked with bruce for more than 20 years. he's an advocate and i think so differently than anyone i know. so basically buy up a whole neighborhood gentrify the whole thing, double or triple the value of the realistic just because you're trying to find the neighborhood. of course everybody also and makes no mention of people really at least at least that by minute. 16 and a half, he hasn't mentioned like the people that would be living in those places. we own properties around the globe. we buy this investment to on behalf of a company's life wax only for any the big financial enterprises were the big winners in the crisis. they with rick winners in the housing market. there rose in big winners in the equity markets. it was as if the u. s. government, rather than helping the homeowners who were losing their homes,

actually sided with the banks, encouraged foreclosures to clean up, the books, gave the money to hedge funds in and private equity firms who then bought the, the distressed assets to make money. so it is the way that the 2000 a crisis has played an important role, increasing wealth inequality in united states and, and other countries that have been afflicted by the crisis. it doesn't totally work as the statement yet. let me give you a snapshot of the new world of housing, and while i do so, i urge you to reflect on the images behind me. just like that. like, i can't remember how we did it with the homelessness report. but i remember when i was re reading my statement, i did have that if a pin dropped, we would have heard it in the room and that's what i need because they know half

the time they're on their blackberries and not paying attention live there. i phones, i suppose now, you know, i mean homelessness is a bit different to, you know, we're seeing images of people. and part of the problem is that when you're describing the stuff is supposed to be shocking, it's all cranes and buildings of glass and stuff. and so you're not moved to the same one. distinguished delegates. we are living in a new world, a world in which the housing sector has been transformed by global corporate financial actors and massive amounts of excess global capital. global residential real estate is now valued at a $163.00 trillion dollars. more than twice the world total g. d. p. housing has been financial ised valued as a commodity rather than a human dwelling. what i am suggesting is

a significant change away from the commodification of housing in order to retrieve what housing means in terms of human dignity and security as a lived experience, as a human right. thank you. and, and, and, and, and, and i was looking for the new buildings, the newest i, which now called elephant paul, which replaces the high guy state where i used to live with like so many, all of them when you flatten is part of the development sold in hong kong and singapore, when the sound of the season, not necessarily so for people to live in the soldiers investments. wouldn't like to sort of romanticize what it was like before. right. but it was an ordinary counsel,

despite all to ordinary families in it was at this time a day, most of them being off to work and off to school, read to college and so on. we're dealing with a very, it's a very particular period. the elite feel free to violate basic laws and ah, and then they're surprised that there is bitterness among their, the working classes that have lost an incredible gra, i mean, a lot of ground in our society. so it's a tough moment. and that following the money brings up a lot of various extent of reasons as to why people are so angry. they don't know exactly. they don't have the knowledge, but they know that something is not right. my own work was concern about asymmetries of information. the fact that some people know things that other people

don't, and that gives some people the ability to take advantage of others. ah, you can make more money. not by making a better product and lowering cost to production, which is a standard economic analysis. but by fishing for fools looking for people you can take advantage of or not creating wealth, they're actually just taking wealth. if you're somebody like the head of blackstone, i've heard of talked about the big advantages of no regulation of deregulation. course you wants to be able to exploit the people who are living in his properties . ah,

i left hand corner yet my flak was then i say bought my flat. so i own that flag paid my mortgage. the problem is the price is round here. and oh, for in a ground floor, any, any flat round it is ex dosma. yeah. and they wanted to give us like a little bit of money. i say of you go. but then i left the move of london. so i decided to stay with friends. most of the people that lived in that town block a still not been homes 9 months later, 9 months later i'm now in a hostile it the place that they could offer me could be anywhere in the country. and if i don't accept say i become intentionally homeless anywhere in the country. well, yeah, i mean it could be birmingham,

it could be manchester anywhere. if you can treat people auster, a tragedy like that. the way they're treating them now will help as anyone have ah, i was picture myself like i'm 5 foot to, i'm from this like nowhere place. and i'm trying to make a huge difference globally. i'm trying to change an entire conversation that's embedded in the way people live all around the world. and then i look back at that girl from ottawa, i'm sitting in her basement office and it's like, what am i thinking like, am i? is this going to kill is am i being ridiculous to

a it is a totally dysfunctional system. so in the late 19 seventy's in 19 eighties there developed a, i'd call it an ideology or religion that merge you solve all problems will still be big winners. will be big loose in the name of the common should the winnings be redistributed to the losers to that? and if everybody ends up where he started, it would take on law fun out of the games. a high priest was built friedman. the big experiment was truly underpin oshea. it took their dictator to really of come at these ideas. they thought that if we privatized to way regulations,

lower taxes, growth would go up. everybody would get more. some people get a lot more at the top. but putting aside envy, everybody would get a bigger piece of a pie. ah, it ignored the many instances where markets do not work well. it was so milton friedman gave them economic argument for why they should be unconcerned about morality. after a 3rd of a century of this experiment, we know that it's wrong that you can make money by destroying the world. and there's something wrong with ah

ah, if we're going to defend the cities as we know them, i can't do it alone. i decided to create a new movement called the shift so that we can come up with ideas of how to protect our cities. so it's not an angle movement. it's not a movement of just cities. ah, it's a movement. hopefully of all stake holders. you know that if i don't getting to the launching the ship here in barcelona, where the effects of financial i station have taken hold and where there is a mayor like attica laugh, i hired a young woman, julie who had a background in international human rights law patent bases and move them up. one 3rd of dest worldwide are linked to poverty and inadequate housing. get

a world wide movement to reclaim and realize the fundamental right to housing and bring people far thought of exports here than if he knows that i feel either marcelina, if i speak with you on, gonna be, be in the latin efficacy on, you know, but i see, and there was gram this got the dallas tacoma waitress this in boca, in most of the you that, but as i got maxine was when, if you see us acosta, this pick willard, columbia and the premium if you see that look like i'm, i've been looking at them, blackstone, the largest private equity firm, they have more power than this. they know, how are you? yeah, you know exactly. you're crying when we have some of these edge pounds trying to speak you later in the say they want to buy it a building. you buy it for you, but we do it because we have money i'm. it's a lot of me because i thought that might benefit. i'm interested to know how the

investor is balter funds. the hedge funds, air b and b are reacting to what you're doing in b is when the men or x you normally we thought almost, we had a cbl but did not support a some, some groups acting like authentic my peers read. now a you don't get to women children and to have that moment to where you can talk about your kids and talk about changing the world one rescue another

like so tiny before we got here. and now if i like the mayor, right? so the question is the big question, are you asked for it? no, i okay. ah . the the private equity it has taken me some time to ask the question, where are they getting their money from? ah, pension funds have a huge amount of money and they need to grow in order to make sure that

the people who pay into the pension fund has something to live on their working lives. i mission to so korea was grand. well, before i had this one piece of information, but some of the largest pension funds are right here at the national pension service, is the 3rd largest pension fund in the world. it was one of the poorest countries. and now in the 11th largest economy in the world, in 50 years, that's pretty impressive. but of course, to make that happen in a 50 year period required a kind of brutal ism of massive development. you have to come with a lot of people don't know how to go, you know to you don't pay you thought you, i always will. you will do is look,

we'll close it as i thought we won union, you got hold on. do you do packaging on time room for to go? good. good. move on. could people know how much of a little we owe them? we'll lose nobody. unfortunately, we checked out a lot from your door. the little the pedal talk will go in on repetitive. oh no. one seems to know that that's where their pension money is going. no one seems to really care. i did speak with a couple of representatives from the national pension service and they were pretty matter of fact at 1st about you know what they had,

what their job is and i get it. their job is to grow money for pensioners. we give our money to asset managers, and they then decides, or where it gets in best, dead ended, so distancing themselves from it. so in other words, it doesn't really matter where the pension money's going, as long as it's a good return. national and city governments in south korea need to make some major shifts before they will be in full compliance with their human rights obligations. you know, human rights law is very specific about those types of projects forced. the vixen under international human rights is considered a growth violation of human rights. people die enforced evictions and people's lives are basically ruined. so it's not to be taken lightly. ah

ah worry issues, climate change housing, they ought to be bedded into the fiduciary frameworks of friendship funds. pension funds are representing people who are going to retire in the you have to ask, how would they feel about this? would they feel comfortable with ody shares and a company that is that immoral? ah, i've lived there 38 years. i've paid my rent for 38 years and they're supposed to upkeep the building. they're supposed to do stuff, but the management company as readily admitted,
