11:05 pm
former prime minister, enron con, is dominated regional by elections in the countries most powerful province. preliminary results have cons, p t i winning most of the 20 seats that want grabs in punjab. want that story and everything else in the news hour that's coming up in just less than 60 minutes from now. witness is the program coming up next? oh i i
11:06 pm
and my job is to go around the world and investigate different housing issues and to the see how are people faring with respect to the right to housing. but maybe you could tell me a bit about how you came to meeting to have around strike for me personally, i have a most problem. i have to 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 up. you just want to leave. but we're, we can go. but brent situation all over toronto's the same way. there is it is addiction by another name. and have you had any response from that cap yet? i guess it's rather harassing bart had a sign on her. she had
11:07 pm
a side 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 group or a legal action, guns and drugs. and oh my god, a shame after with arden arden category there. yeah. so this was based on the banner. yeah. you know, we're not that melting 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 get people like us. so the neighborhoods getting gentrified to, if 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,
11:08 pm
ah ah, 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,
11:09 pm
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 else or what 9 of them? i would need to check the numbers 1st, but it's pretty. i mean that it's pretty grim. 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 the poor people really struggling now like like never before. but then you also have the
11:10 pm
middle class unable to afford to live in cities and provide the services that are necessary for city. 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? who are cities for, ah, ah, it's not tom rocket science enough. 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 an hours away from learning whether or not they can stay in their home or be forced
11:11 pm
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 a 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 call the city and one of them is familiar aisha, which is so what we have for which we have use the term gentrification. when i hear people to day saying it's gentrification, one reaction and ironic reaction is if only it's much deeper than fact, it's much more foundational a fill in even though so then either way i see of actual i then you know,
11:12 pm
now i don't i mean that was like 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 the big new development here. there was a hospital, it's been demolished and it was demolished to make way for condominium luxury condominiums and they don't even own this land. i've heard that there are many units standing vacant already, luxury condos, and last because no one in both parties 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, and i'm busy though for me. so it was you don't know what's going on. give us
11:13 pm
a call on a saturday. you don't have anybody then. all you will. i meant he'd window. i don't have a photo, i don't, i don't know, but it well this is what i see happening around the world for buying up of land, the displacement of the poorest people and the putting up of luxury in it or not actually for the people who live in the community i own it based on the. 2 contact phone, no been talking to rectify you. does mean yes, i do a demo in a good, a silly most of
11:14 pm
my nightmare. we've had no heat all through april, no hot water all through april. there's water leaking underneath the st. new owners and taken over. we haven't met some, we haven't seen them. we don't know anything of it couldn't be frosty the snowman. for all, i know they're trying everything do with not be sent off. i mean that you what, i'm, what you as i mean actually been, danny, this is where i grew up. and i, you know, i'll be hell bent and bound. i'm going to be study here. we go. all right. bye. have a good. thank you very much. yeah. it's very good. i was way out and maybe not,
11:15 pm
you know, when you go somewhere boys in notting hill, i've heard about the feel more will have an awe thing i like about this areas is the community, you know, your frames are all face or colors is one wedge. this is ashley family because even if we don't know each other, we know to her by faith. i was born just 5 minutes from here and in the seventy's and eighty's and ninety's, i've seen whole area change of pop stars and people moving into the area because they light, the vibe to live is really cool. the people seen the world, the film that come out from all around the world. they want to see where the blue
11:16 pm
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 buying up properties. they'll be to live there. but you know, because they saw fantastic investment for them. better put in the bank to offer stop on the highlight tour of london cryptography 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,
11:17 pm
there were pubs, there were a couple of restaurants, but the community itself has evaporated. so we, we 1st offline $94.00. if i saw my fly, i could not live in kids and shall say, i'll be forced out the area. and i'll have to actually 40 move out blunt, and i can stand in the middle of the street with and 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't go up and ask them who they are. they're actually just empty all the time . ah one way of putting it is,
11:18 pm
this is not at all about housing. ah. yeah. and building they function as asked. you want those houses to be empty and unused because you can play with them. you reach these dark empty buildings and they are making money. so when people think of poor investor, something went wrong. hell, know why? my 1st reaction to learning about this phenomenon of vacant dwellings. i was pretty rich, i remain outraged in a 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
11:19 pm
commitments to the international community that they will uphold international human rights which include the right adequate housing radio. that's a real block, or a sally bank called my door. and then i open the front door as a blanket oh, black smoke disclosable. very common thinking of a fire. ah, i'm with you. right
11:20 pm
now was the beginning of the file. 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, can i see an arm here come through this month and kind of grant my wife and then another. and that was my come to to kind of grab myself said, how about my dog,
11:21 pm
my dog? the officer said no, i'm sorry. we're gonna have to go. so just look to my dog. and i this is an amazing dogs. my lot, my child is a t o b who could loise hamilton the 2nd, but 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 free, oh, there must have the water pipes already in the stairwell, but then the realization, know 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,
11:22 pm
clad in to make it pretty make it look nicest for the surrounding area. and somebody knew that that 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 my credible amount of wealth, the tension between the 2. and then watching this fire, it was like a physical representation of the displacement of a community. for me, that's the narrative of the world right now. one of the i had one
11:23 pm
of the counselors, while the counselor said, if you can't live in no inhaled asia niche and b milledgeville was all about to say several other did you get we'll go from. so he thought he would have lived the old allies. i just didn't want to you like that me and this will limit make me sick. you want to why brief is mark don't just disregard them like their rubbish. like they have that file. it has but it's like, it was like, you know, this is the richest on 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 due to that. okay? yes. are you have the instrumentality that is the law. exactly. because when i see
11:24 pm
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 a 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 in comprehend. who is this? what is happening here? ah, i don't believe that capitalism itself is usually problematic. is unbridled capitalism in an area that is a human right?
11:25 pm
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, will contact with wow. yes them to you. well, the previous landlord that i think was c a c, d. i think they did put information up. let, let us know that the bill to the complex is going to be sold. but this is before 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 um 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 not a dollar. and are you going to be able to pay that?
11:26 pm
i don't know. i mean, i can definitely say next it is isn't worth it. we have one ago. i don't have a clue. i don't know. right. and are you mind me asking, are you employed design? yeah. and so what percentage of your income would this be 2590 percent 190 asi cool. right? 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 with us title
11:27 pm
find out. i notice when i came here with lisa already lived admitted the opening hours. they show with our tenants that they are willing to to me from and this is 3 hours or week i am on tuesday. so every time an appointment is vacant, they thought they renovation, whereby they can increase the rents will blur 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 dish from the back. we only banks, that's fine. you know, it's sell something. we pay money for. finance is totally different, i always say finer. so something it does not and that means that finance
11:28 pm
is basically an extract 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 that nobody who's not in that business can understand it so complex that we delegate to the experts. who are the experts?
11:29 pm
is the financial sector itself ah ah
11:30 pm
safe going home and then international anti corruption excellence award boat now for your hero. the latest news as it breaks this decision basically said that the roe v wade decision was simply wrong. it is highly unusual for supreme court to overrule precedent with detailed coverage. the public bridge will not only significantly reduce the travel time, but it is expected to annie shadid acreage damage boom from around the world. this one here depicts the late poets without a no up who is revolutionary poems in his play the many oh
11:31 pm
hello, i'm marianne murphy and london. a quick update on the top story this, our europe is sweltering under a devastating some, a heat wave which is bought multiple wildfires and caused hundreds of heat related deaths. more than 14000 people have been evacuated from their homes in southern france is 2 huge, 510 through pine forest in the city of port. and other 3000 been forced to flee in spain, where fire fighters of battling 30 blazes across the country. meanwhile, here in the u. k, the country is brace for reco, breaking heat to arrive monday with temperatures predicted to reach 40 degrees celsius. for the 1st time ever, government is declared a national emergency and health chiefs to put extra ambulances on standby or fears . hundreds of people might die, but we could see people who are particular vulnerable, young people, elderly file people, people live in, mis dement shot who really do suffer this. this is a like
11:32 pm
a lovely day where we can put a bit of some screen on and go out and enjoy sweet a male outside. this is serious. that could actually alternately ending in people's death because it is so ferocious and we're just not set up for that sort of age in this country. russia's military saying is destroyed, multiple rocket launches, given to ukraine by nato military chief, say the video here shows the russian strike on a ukrainian storage facility that done yet squeegee. and the crimes can't be independent. he verified russian forces have also bombed a number of ukrainian towns as moscow ones at stepping up its operations. ukrainian officials say 40 people have been killed since thursday and that the entire front line is being shelled. full politicians have been named as contenders to become should i because new president when lawmakers hold a vote, wednesday the economic crisis behind the political instability is continuing with millions of people in the country struggling to buy food or fuel. and the party of
11:33 pm
pakistan, former prime minister in ron con, is dominated regional by elections in the countries most powerful province delivery results have con p t. i party winning most of the 20 seats that want for grabs in punjab province. more than that, coming up in a news hour and 25 minutes time. i'll see you, then witness now continues a venable disease, a cancer, 15 percent of all debts, children and a production was rob with any challenges in education with
11:34 pm
with with sh you should by you. i'll see here and i an app a call come on being 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,
11:35 pm
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. so how do you even find 50000? yeah, the 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 him 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
11:36 pm
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 real estate just because you've jumped in for 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 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 with rick winters in the housing market, there rose in big winners in the equity markets. it was as if the u. s. government,
11:37 pm
rather than helping the homeowners who were losing their homes, actually sided with the banks, encouraged foreclosures to clean up the books, gave them money to hedge funds, hen, and private equity firms, who dan bought the, the distressed assets to make money. so it is the way that the 2000 a crisis has played an important row, increasing wealth inequality in the 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 remember how we did it with the homelessness report. but i remember when i was re reading my
11:38 pm
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 ill, 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 building some 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's total g, d. p. housing has been financial ised valued as
11:39 pm
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 that sold overseas does not necessarily so for people to live in a soldier's investment. wouldn't like to sort of romanticize what it was like
11:40 pm
before. right. but it was an ordinary counsellor despite all to ordinary families. and it was at this time a day, most of them would be enough to walk and off to school, right? 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 very substantive reasons. as to why people are so angry, they don't know exactly. they don't have the knowledge,
11:41 pm
but they know that something is not right. my own work was concerned 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. and 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 they had a blackstone, i've heard of dog on the big advantages of. no regulation of deregulation ah, poor, she wants to be able to exploit the people who are living and has properties
11:42 pm
ah on the left hand corner. yeah. my flight was then i say bought my flag. so i own that flag paid my mortgage. the problem is the price is round here in o 4 in our ground floor. any, any flat round year is extortionate. 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, to stay with friends. most of the people that lived in that town block are still not been homes. 9 months or 9 months later, i am now in a hostile it the place that they could offer me could be anywhere in the country.
11:43 pm
and if i don't accept it, 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 after a tragedy like that, the way they're treating them now. while health does anyone have lou? i always 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,
11:44 pm
what am i thinking like, am i is this when calculus? am i being ridiculous to a, it is a totally dysfunctional system. so in the late 19 seventy's 19 eighties, there developed a, i've called an ideology relation that merge you solve all problems with still the big winners to still 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 a little fun out of the game. the high priest was built friedman. the big experiment was chilly, underpin oshea, it took their dictator to really implement these ideas. they thought that if we
11:45 pm
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 the 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
11:46 pm
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 angel movement. it's not a movement of just cities. ah, it's a movement hopefully of all stakeholders. you know, although i don't getting to be 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. cotton things,
11:47 pm
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 bring people for thought of export there. if he knows that if you know them or felina, if i speak with you, i'm gonna be in the lock and if you feel, you know, been, i see and there was grand, this copy dollars get come up with this. and this in back i'm in most i feel that, but as i got maxine was when, if you see us i pushed the spic will at columbia the premium with like i'm, i've been looking at them blackstone that largest private equity firm. they have more power than the state. you 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 the building. you buy it for you,
11:48 pm
but we do it because we have money and it's a 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 the m. b is where they may not. you know, we, we, ludo, mom was we had a civil forget not support a some, some groups acting like authentic my peers right now with that you don't get your women children. and to have that moment to where you can talk about your kids and talk about
11:49 pm
changing the world from one breath to another, not feeding. so time before we got here. and now if i like the mayor, right? so the question is a big question. are you out for it now? i'm okay. ah, 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
11:50 pm
