rituals who risk their lives to protect it from destruction. an extraordinary film, archives spanning for decades, reveals the forgotten truths of the country's modern history. the forbidden real part for the era of darkness on a g 0. we town the untold still rings. ah, we speak. when others stand, ah, we cover all sides. no matter where it takes us. briefly a fan, sir. yeah, i am power in pasha. we tell your stories. we are your voice news, your net to mac al jazeera. ah, ah, hello. i'm darren jordan in dough with

a quick reminder of the chop stories here on al jazeera. u. s. president joe biden will meet golf leaders later in jetta on the final day of his middle east toll. the us and saudi arabia have already signed a variety of agreements as part of his 1st trip to the kingdom as president. he said he was not personally responsible for it and he took action against those who were responsible and, and we are then i went on to talk more about how that dealing with any of our position to the or criticism of the saudi administration and other countries was viewed as to me, violation even rights. while earlier we spoke to daniel leda, he's the president of the us middle east project. he says, there's a disconnect between u. s. values and u. s. policy. let's remember the tools of state cross the tools of real politic include energy mattering allies who miss behave,

being defended by you. the president is not the head of amnesty international or human rights watch. much as i wish you would pursue those things. the problem for america, for this president, is the gap is the disconnect between everything we've been hearing over russia and ukraine, especially the moralizing, the self righteous tone that we are the leader of democracy. we stand for international law and values and human rights. the gap between those things and what we are seeing on this visit, not only the fist bump, but the people who live in the region he's visiting, have seen the effects of actual american policies. and if you add to the mix, this normalization between certain arab states and israel, that he's been touting, which again, was part of a trump legacy that rather than changing, he is entrenched and is part of the, an escalade to re 0,

some dynamic in the region and of course, another way of trampling palestinian, right, so all of that adds up to 2. it's not very much happy to report and that's a british understanding. trolanda parliament has convened in colombo to start the process of selecting the country's next president. politicians could decide on a new leader within a week. i'm going to start ronald with, from a single serving as acting president until then. u. s. authority said they'll see the immediate extradition of the notorious mexican drug in order that they all got all content. he was captured by mexican naval forces on friday, but my vigil is a former chief of international operations for the da. he says, this is a coup for authorities on both sides of the us mexico border. the drug enforcement administration is elaine it. with the capture of dental, simply because we feel that this is a tremendous big treat more just us in the rule of law. and as you indicated,

the united states have a bounty on kind of get all $20000000.00 us dollars. it's the most the biggest reward ever. it's a reward even bigger than the one that existed for chopin's mon, and lowest for the 1980s. there was only one cartel that existed in mexico. that was the one a lot of cartel, which was handed by cutting dead oh, in 2 years cohorts. and they were trying to jean drugs, cocaine marijuana year, went into the united states. in february of 1985, they decided that they were going to kidnap the agent. they kidnapped and re k g come on in right in front of the u. s. consulate in want to lahardo. they took him to a residence owned by cuddled dental, where he was tortured rhythmically in

a very cool wanted manner until he was killed. and then at that point in time, many of these court tell leaders when a dental plan goes to rico, we capture them there. and then he was extradited to mexico and given a 40 year sentence, all right, so those were the headlines. the news continues here now to sierra off to stay to thanks so much for ah

hm . 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 with for me personally. i know most problem i have a talk roach problem. i 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 ran 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. and 6, 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 here. so one. nice that or go to 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 the soil or what 9 am? i will need to check the numbers 1st, but it's pretty. i mean that it's pretty grim. ah, i think we are at an incredibly urgent moment. the extent to which where c 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 is unable to afford to live in cities and provide the services that are necessary for a city. i don't wanna 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? who are cities for, ah, ah, it's 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 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 streets. 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 a familiar aisha which is so what we have for which we have use a 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 with even though so

then either way i see now i don't, i mean that worries we're in the home of an older woman breaker or 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 bacon 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. well, you didn't pay the bill for me,

so it was you don't know if i can wait on a saturday, you know, cutting billy. then only a few of them are me and i know 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 down this is where i grew up now 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 great day. thank you very much. yeah,

it's very good. i was very proud to live in notting hill when you go somewhere watching notting hill cuz i've heard about the feel whatever. ah, yeah. hang on like about this areas, is the community. you know, your frames are all face, all colors is one with the family because 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. the film that come out from all around the world,

they want to see where the blue doors it 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 not properties that need to live there. but you know, because they saw fantastic investment for them better and put in the bank. so i forced to stop on the highlight tour of london to talk to see properties. these 2 properties are worth perhaps 20000000 pounds each. i believe mister paid something in the region of 40 or 50000000 pounds ford. 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. so we, we pers offline $94.00. if i saw my fly i could not live in kansas. chelsea. i'll be forced out the area and i'll have to ask for the move out of london. i can stand in the middle of the street with aunt 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 can't 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 healthy. 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 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 leo, that's a real blow or a silly phone call to my door. and then i open the front door. there's just a blanket. oh black smoke disclosable, very common thinkin. oh, as a fire ah, with you right

now is the beginning of the trial. we're 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 through 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. and there 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 i just looked at my dog and i miss and i made those my lot, my child is a, a t o b who could lewis hamilton the 2nd a. he chose his own name, given the options need, like louis so saw his and then we will off into the darkness and then on going down and then on treading on things think oh, there must have the water pipes already in the stairwell. but then the realization, know i figured people off on treading on, on 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 know and he'll day should neutral, be milledgeville, was, will about to say several other did you get we'll go from so he's not he would i live the old a lives, i just mean like she like that me. and this will limit, make me sick. you want to why briefly. it's mark wanted disregard. i'm not there. rubbish. like they have that file. that was but it was, i was like, you know, this is the richest on in the bottom. how can i oh, you have human rights obligations the 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. her, 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 one thing. everybody understands at 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 in. comprehend. 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 ha with wow, yes, 17 wow. the previous landlords, i think we'll see a c d i think they did put information up. let that let us know that the build the conflict is going to be sold. but this is before phil, phil phil, phil came it, 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 carmine 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 negative, there is no way. and we want to go, i don't have a clue. i don't know. right, and to mind me asking, are you employed design? yeah. and so what percentage of your income would this be 2590 percent 190 assay. glory. yes. 9090 percent. and 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 noticed when i came here was lisa or a little admitted the opening hours. they fill our tenants that they are willing to to rent them and this is 3 hours or week am on tuesday. so every time the appointment is vacant, they thought they 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, i surely dish from the bank. we only banks. that's why it's a, you know, it's sell 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 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 kennel flashed extractions because they come in the shape of extraordinarily complex instruments, but nobody who's not in that business can understand it. so complex that we delegate to the experts who are the experts,

is the financial sector itself. with some of the world's largest resents najia provides much of the uranium that fuels your it's nuclear power plant because it won't cost people empower, follows the uranium trail from 0 to the shores of the mediterranean and investigates the devastating effects on the planets and all those healing habit, the industries ha ha ha, said you am on al jazeera, beneath the hype of english football lies in elicit market for the rich and powerful i. one of the cd sessions were under cover al jazeera investigative unit exposes the inner workings of key players in the murky underbelly of football finance. he's appointed me to sell something like one. in addition,

it has been said that you can make an elephant disappear. i have many of it takes like the most brazen example i said, the man who so football on. i just, you know, our coverage of africa is what i'm most proud of. every time i travel there, whether it's east or west africa, people stop me and tell me how much they appreciate coverage. and our focus is not just on their suffering, but also on the more lifting and inspiring story. people trust algebra to tell them what's happening in their community in a clear and unbiased and as an african, i couldn't be more proud to be thought of. you know, lou,

i'm on insight into your top stories on al jazeera. yes, president joe bought and will meet golf leaders later in jetta on the final day of his middle east tool. the u. s. and saudi arabia have already signed a variety of deals as part of his 1st trip to the kingdom. as u. s. president. he said he was not personally responsible for it and he took action against those who were responsible and. and then i went on to talk more about how that dealing with any opposition to the criticism of the saudi administration. and other countries was viewed as to me. violation right. well before his trip to judge i bought and met with the palestinian president, man made a boss in the occupied west bank. he reiterated us support for the 2 state solution . it said the time was not right to try to re stout a piece process with these riley's explosions have been heard every night in the

besieged gaza strip hours earlier. israel's military said that at least 2 rockets were fired from gaza over the city of masculine israeli officials say, one of the rockets was intercepted, no casualties have been reported for long as parliament has convened in colombo to start the process of selecting the countries. next president, politicians could decide on a new leader within a week. prime minister run over can the singer is serving as acting president until then. you as the authority say that will seek the immediate expedition of the notorious mexican drug. lord raphael caro can teryl. he was captured by mexican naval forces on friday. the un says egypt will suspend its participation in the peacekeeping force. in molly, it comes off to bama coast transitional government ordered the temporary suspension of troop rotation by the mission, citing security reasons. and the chinese pres ye,

jing paying has visitors, ginny, zang in watts believe to be as fuss trip bass into crack down against the we get muslim minority state media showed g waiving it, cheering crowds, speaking to students and turing businesses on a 4 days so called inspection tool, aging have been a keys of committing human rights abuses against the weakest, including force, labor force, darla, zation, and detentions. as i had lost witnesses next you should by you are see here and i and i play like all come on bean 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, i said 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 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 in 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. mm double or triple the value of the realistic just because you're trying to find the neighborhood enforced. 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 these investments on behalf of a company's life wax only for any the big financial enterprises were the big winners in the crisis. they were the big winners in the housing market. ah, there wasn't 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 inflicted 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 where they're, 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 $163.00 trillion dollars. more than twice the world's 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 a little thing for the near buildings, the new estate which is now called elephant paul, which replaces the high guy state where i used to live with so many, all of them, plenty of flat is part of the development and sold in hong kong and singapore, when the sound of the season, not necessarily so for people to live in this old as invest 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 of day, most of them being off to walk and off to school and read to college and so on. we're dealing with a very it's a very particular perry, the elite feel free to violate basic laws and ah, and then they're surprised that there is bitterness among the 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 following the money brings up a lot of very substantive 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 the standard economic analysis. but by fishing for fools looking for people you can take advantage of or not creating wealth, or actually just taking wealth. if you're somebody like the head of blackstone, i've heard of talk about the big advantages of no regulation of deregulation course, he wants to be able to exploit the people who are living in his properties. ah,

left hand corner, yet one flak was then i say bought my flag. so i own that flower. pay my more kids. the problem is the price is round here. and oh for in a ground floor, any, any flat round here 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'll have to move out of london. so i decided to, to stay with friends. most of the people that lived in that town block a still not been homes 9 months like 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 anyway. if you can treat people all sta, 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 us? am i being ridiculous to a, it is a totally dysfunctional system. in the late 19 seventy's and 19 eighties. they're developed a, i'd call it an ideology or religion that merge you solve all problems with still the big winners will be big loose in the name of the common should the winnings be redistributed to the losers to the end? if everybody ends up where he started, it would take on the little fun out of the game. the high priest was built friedman . the big experiment was truly underpin oshea. it took their dictator to really

implement these ideas. they thought that if we privatized for 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 stakeholders. you know that the don't getting to be launching the ship here in barcelona, where the effects of financial aid 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. cotton things,

things move them up. one 3rd of deaths worldwide are linked to poverty and inadequate housing. a world wide movement to reclaim and realize the fundamental right to housing and putting people for exports here. that if he knows that i feel them or helena, if the quality on going to be in the lock and if he got the own, you know, but i see there was grant this got the dallas tacoma waitress, december come in most a few that but as i got maxine was when, if you see us i pushed the speak will are gonna be in the premium with 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 pounds trying to speculate on the say they

want to buy it a building. you buy it for you, but we do it because we have money. and it's a lot of me because i got the expensive, i'm interested to know how the investors balter funds, the hedge funds, air b and b are reacting to what you're doing in b is where they may not. i see. and we we ludo moments. we had a cbo, forget not a some, some groups acting like authentic my peers read now with you don't get to women children and to have that moment to where you can talk about you and talk about changing the world from one breath to another,

not the so time before we got here and now if i like the mayor. right. so the question is the big question are you out for it now? okay. ah. 2 the big 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 in to the pension fund have something to live on their working lives. i mission to south 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 plan 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 100 . i forgot what it was on. how to go with to you so you so you don't,

i always will use i think we'll do is look, we'll close it as i thought we won new york. what hold on, do you do you project on time? little for to go good. move on. could you go to your video? how much of a little yo yo lou? nor what about 14, did you start 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
