naughty complicated show. you a live birth parents were kosovo albanians they were. students when war broke out in the region conflict a london jewel was born in the british capital her name is albanian for love. in london she was known as the girl from kosovo but when she was 11 have returned to push dina. i definitely felt like the new girl a lot of the time as much as you feel like you see leave london you're like ok i'm going to get people going to think my name's not and i'm going to be you know things just going to be a little bit different and you go in your own it's like the english girl it just came to cross over and it was hard and i really find myself being a party places i'm very much from london and i'm very much appreciate that. she

dreamt of becoming a pop star and made that dream reality that age 15 she returned to london without her parents who trust her to make it on her own she done to be fearless at an early age. my grandfather was a historian in kosovo and. i guess when the war started there were lots of things happening obviously with the occupation of the serbian forces and my grandfather was. well i was told that he had to rewrite history and to kind of change it and obviously he refused to do that and. he got taken out of work you know during the war i think that's incredibly strong of him you know to be able to stand by what's true to you i think a lot of that has rubbed off on you know my parents and what they've been very 1st hand. and during the war that happened in yugoslavia but it's just been

you know they've empowered me so much and their story is incredibly inspiring and i feel like i have a 2nd hand like strength and empowerment and the feeling like can do anything overcome anything and be whoever i want to be you know and. reach whatever goal i set my mind to. today she's one of the biggest singing stars in the world her videos not chopped more than a clearly interviews political just go with a message of empowerment. when you think about men you think about strong and powerful and but when you think about women it's more like they're vulnerable and nests and they're sensitive in the delicate and that's fine but we're also very strong and powerful we can be all those things. great is always a mirror of the times and places is the era of the male empowerment.

between england and germany perhaps the queen is a special kind of person so you when she's in germany you have to be there. the british royal family is very popular in germany royal weddings are broadcast live on german television and millions watch during state visits republicans can briefly become royalists you can. project a lot on for the entire family because they are so present in the media but at the same time the royals personally want as little as possible to be known about them and of course many people find the tradition and the glamour fascinating the ceremonial aspect it costs also tartaros the carriages. but most germans don't want their own monarchy abolished in 1918 banks by 2020 poll conducted by in protest the map showed that 85 percent were opposed to having

a monic as head of state but germans are nonetheless very interested in the glitz and glamour of royal houses around europe. prince philip's death also touched the hearts of many germans german newspapers had emotional front page coverage the day after he died chancellor angela merkel priced his integrity his dedication to duty and his friendship with germany prince philip had a special connection to germany his parents were german nobility i mean spent part of his childhood in southern germany so mary elizabeth he became british and changed his name from patton birth to mountbatten. prince philip had an infamous sense of humor which often crossed the boundary of political correctness but he understood his secondary role and always had the queen's park with the loyalty diligence and worked prince philip found respect during his 73 years of

is fire i think it is so dangerous it's like in the most. care terror you can imagine and feels lays on slowly like just pulling your life force out to you and then you get tunnel vision stars get smaller and smaller and around this tunnel there's just darkness right in this mars mars war imposes a you're dead and to think that now you're dead you're a flatline are be dead. thank you both a city renowned for its not true p.c. . a quote from the tourist board. but beneath the mountain vista is the

city so a tragic underbelly. despite being known as one of the world's top 3 cities in which to live it's funny neighborhood known as downtown eastside is experiencing a huge stroke. thousands of lives have been lost and in nearly 9 of the 10 or so scenes a deadly new illicit drug has been present the painkiller offense at home is now the number one killer drug in the u.s. you can die just by touching it vent their lips and all that now fatal dose of pendleton's now that you know the whole opioid that's supposed to tranquilize elephants' a synthetic painkiller $100.00 times more powerful than morphine just 2 milligrams of the pure drug which is about 4 grains of salt is enough to kill the average adult friends die from the lethal amount of the painkiller fat 10 year old boy in florida has become one of the overall more than 63000 people died of monster drug feels far more people than gun violence if you don't know what that no is it is

basically the new heroin but much much stronger the. point i. was abroad. you know a whole lot i want to document she right now brother. not a documentary we're talking about 'd opioid use and yeah i'll come talk to him in a way down here i got off the roof just give me a minute you know and then another fellow bro in the hood you know. friend to you was a good friend of mine you know that doesn't matter. you know as no questions i'll tell no lies. here in downtown eastside

addiction is nothing new heroin has flowed through think he was pulled to this deprived parts of town since the ninety's seventy's. but market forces have seen that heroin supply replaced and snow is stronger cheaper and much less baucis with . where we're going to have it where would you like to go i mean if you want to see what it's really like show us go. this route. this is east hastings street now this is where again all church basically what you're looking at is the mecca. of drug addiction. or you have branded an active narcotics for. ever since i can remember maybe that's why i came here on air yeah i think that is probably why i came here. and this extends who has

a slot to the street drug supply outside north america again do you think this could become a global problem and if it does what should people expect death lots of. people are going to die and it's not going to be pretty. it is wildfire people will try and love it and they'll never quit. these the streets were crowded you're talking about 1500000 people died just in this walk. on mom put on the mind of god on the street right now. this is a huge problem the united states lost 72000 people last year canada lost 8000 all right these are these are large numbers of people dying and vegetable death will not be any different australia united kingdom anywhere in the western world. just you never know the stuff will kill you.

if i once was right how easy. it would pretty much be simple for me to get down on the impossible to get heroin because it's for this so that even if it is fairly just got that in all the house budget just teach. one just to do. a lot. a lot. was the name but the best. thing you know in the streets or the exhibits. sounds so unfair no you know trying to get by live on the street so i got to make a living somehow i don't want to rob stores enough and i got about 10 years in the pen this way here i stay. and house business selling a lot woman man like you can never have enough. so how many people buy a fence for the state. 100150. every day every day.

is the same thing hey quite ok nice is there like a bit of a kind of change months yeah different gangs run different alleys i want to 12 hour shift. how do you get that job because i don't think their offices in the newspaper right now. through connection mostly coming out of jail. was pencil times that to. read it i lost like 40 people that i know well close to me in the last 3 years. people never did drugs in their life it up once did from friends and from friends now is it possible any of them and some. possible . somebody. to an extent but they're going to get it from somebody right. i mean i guess the cops make the house it's no great business practice to be killing . customs you know i don't think anybody wanted anybody die but the thing is.

heroin used to come in it's heroin this friend now we're making it ourselves you know online on the on the dark web you order an ounce of fat off from china question $350.00 an extra 50 bucks next days delivered to your door you take that $400.00 from the friend all and you make a 1000 grams of down and you're getting anywhere between $1120.00 programs so do the math. jesus. took money time and just. like the old you take your $400.00 and you make it a 100 grand. but well it's lucrative illicit street sense and always often being kooks but it's a gangsta's in their basements they're making the recipe up as they go along in the final product to synthetic and wildly inconsistent. customs it's old as the world they buy on the street can be any color of the rainbow just like right now everybody wants the dark green. they come out nasty get the dark green you don't

get it they shop around like that one that's the highest but not so he said it's going to. be playing russian roulette and people are coming to take down roots soon as they know that that stuff dropping people they're running for you got that green stuff. because they think they can they're the ones that take half the data recorder of it or the people dying from it it must be good looking that's the logic . last night. this girl just came out in detox and i know she just got back she thought healthy and everything she sees me old sylvester come running up give me a point. i see the good old you know i just go 2 hours ago and say what you want to point for all i'm just going to use a little bit of it have some what's more i still use it all i can you know when you know your tolerance is no no i won't. 10 minutes later yeah move in the alley they will work out or i'll she live in i. don't know

a month come please come i leave. so how much do you sell it works people get $10.00 for a flop. i say. that's $10.05 a fat man and that stuff going dark green that's dropping people you know it's 15 percent fat no. 3 percent heroin the rest is a bit accident sugar. is a post but i diet it. all depends how high your immune system know it all and i mean i've never taken and so before if you took that you died 100 percent on that and if i pull the same one steve perry but i'm. definitely no different.

she said it's me you want to buy it i want to buy it but give me 10 bucks but some of. your life bro. get to make your own choices right. and i get to eat. so. just like that man. the candid way in which sylvester discuss this is day job is conflicting it's easy to judge him but the reality is that fence no has become normalized in downtown eastside and for the homeless community who live here in desperate hardship it's one of the very few tradeable commodity. vancouver's a very rich city surrounded by very rich real estate plan unlike most canadian

cities saying congress decided to get a wise poverty. as the city gentrified people get squished and scratched that used to be 15 square blocks now it's down to 6 or 7 square blocks of people and most of them are in search of some sort of drug they. say just a blockade that way i just purchased a it's not the fence no i think it could be me and it comes in all different shapes and sizes whether you think that i'm going to. the baby. brother and over. this i mean it's a surprising the 1st all we've heard is there's a multiple overdose calls in this little community per day and some sometimes it's just been horrific like there's just been just wall to wall ambulances and fire trucks and people running on the street can look like a war zone. here they're reduced water down here at. ground 0 the others gives us

what it is and it is wearing a little bit and. this is the most caring. you're really not why you think afghanistan is about this it's not regulated shutterstock the ones dying because of the look of the crisis the street here was my last $10.00 and my only $1000.00 that i sold a crowbar in an angle grinder for i got a coffee and. yeah usually you don't eat and you live breathe and work for this how can you know really what's inside so i guess it's but no he's also got the powder version there. oh you think you never know what you're going to get a surprise all the time so these are both offensive but it limits looks like you know a drug and it does you never know. like it's always looks different.

it's just. around really is sorry for the language but it's you know. food clothes shower and drugs it's constant it's. a walk on the wild side that way. so. there's a re an idea here that it might be dangerous down here in my region yeah mainstream society is a little bit of a intimidated by it or trade of it. and you know as i said it in jest because. it's not the wild side at all it's just that it's a neighborhood of people that are going to experiencing

a lot of pain and dealing with a lot of trauma and. people. high priority area there's there's there's all kinds of people thrive all kinds of trauma from early childhood abuse to you know relationships and you know just yes. people have gone through a lot. to think addiction is a disease that is and it's definitely you know what starts out as an original choice to use substances to self medicate from the pain turns into a lifetime of suffering and i became dependent on using. heroin because reality was painful. opioids like heroin unfenced know belong to the same pharmacy school family is moving and like morphine they were intended for payment. everyone in this self medicating community has a back story. both physical and mental it's all around. this

person like a. check right now i'm sure they're probably breathing that and how are you or where you were filming the wall but we want we want that. story to enter its origin. so you come into your space ma'am. i had and i mean i i dabbled. i was running away from things from an awful lot of pain when i was a kid and i got it. i cleaned up and $997.00 i cleaned up to raise money and money because it's out and i raised my i was going with that i raised my child my son and. i owed him a life and i have an amazing son and he turned out exceptionally well i did and i'm really proud of what they did. and then i had an accident and it kind of brought me back. i'm i got hit from behind on my bike i broke my legs my pelvis my hit my bed

ripped my rotator cuff crushed both hands but my back and for placing my skull and more placement my face my you know my deep within hearing brain haemorrhage. yeah it wasn't a good day in my world. but it may be 10 years ago with a different something. you're probably you wouldn't if you were not me and you would have met me i'd be apologizing right now it's a completely different speed apologizing for a problem for something i've done or were taken from here but yeah inject drugs 30 to 40 times a day i mean yeah i mean. just the shell of the you know a person that was just how much that call spend probably a good 600 bucks a day. since who is now sweeping through north america a horrifying writes since he hit the streets drug overdoses become the leading

cause of death for those under 50 yuko find anyone in these early ways who hasn't lost a loved one it's scary how commonplace it's become. we lost any friends through this. and i'm so sorry to hear that how did you but it doesn't show anything. well. that's a fair. cruelest trick is the stockholm syndrome it pushes to its victims. the more it devastates this little community the more people seek solace in these homes. right now we're going to go to washington you know because it's peer led and we have there. harm reduction supplies to the community to lead means that the people

of the soffit what they're used to and some cells will help but it's absolutely yeah it's really important that people on the community are the ones leading up to take us. inside this building clean injecting equipment is hundreds like who's through a hole in the wall the idea is to stop the spread of blood borne virus is like hepatitis an h i say it's open 24 hours a day and hands out a 1000000 syringes a year. so a courier how many leaders would you give out and then the whole shift all alone on one through one of these boxes have $500.00. rooms in it and one day i went through 4 boxes of room 21 states that was obviously. why is it so important that people round take kind you just basically this one

though they'll use still use it when you need to use going is a journey ring that you find you know that's how people get have seen him a name try to share with us they will use toilet water puddle water or whenever they need to to use get water and i guess that will it's going straight into that blood stream and that is not so great one can imagine and give reasons in new delhi for people urinate in feces and urine this is. from the back of the building the stuff from the mobile response unit working in shifts to reverse street overdoses so from a shift i have my. best on i have a. 20 american way to go i have my bike my helmet and i always have extra not candle me so in case i come across multiple overdoses at that rate here in town.

workers like jen patrol these alleyways administering life saving medical interventions the secret weapon is no locks on the fence no and so they commonly known by its brand name. such an all is an opiate and what it does is it shuts down your respiratory system so for 10 that this this here this is the facts all coming in your system right so we should still open our can it's like a wall goes up and so the french helps the wallet can keep on going more narcan which the system figured out ball gets so what you're saying is this is actually quite easy service and i guess that it so then if it's not easy to have a slave to it's why do we have so many people talking of overdose because we were using bob self. people are really ashamed about their drug use they're labeled as a criminal or a junkie or a crackhead so they use by themself in dark places you know they are people can't see or can't find it helps to relate to find someone over those how long would you

go if you got treatment and that's the plans i mean usually it starts off you know the surface lou and then you feel you've only got so much time to act if you find their faces purple it means you're saying that story interest on the faces platter would have like a slim chance of going there with you do find someone the so j h you were able to take on the ground to save the life how does it feel extremely stressful and you have a good. deal to remind yourself as to why you to this job so for myself personally in the last 2 years i responded 31 drug overdose and. one trying to be 103 overdoses and then a week later we had 12 people die in cement. one day. one day. coming how does it feel to work in a place like this with saving lives every day. and these things can.

turn in move and move a lot because i lost on this one spot and 11 and i. have never had. the i like the feels good to say life insanity just part of the problem for being part of the schools. the city of vancouver has invested millions trying to come about the crisis and while health responses like this have made some inroads since now has at times been an impossible challenge for the moment because it's become so bad the average life expectancy is officially which he said the public health emergency has been declared i. it's caused a deep mistrust from those in the communities they would face in power. trying to keep the gerund begam around the side of the street not 100 times and then to undermine the. british columbia has 4 times the mass of the u.k.

and yet 7 percent of all its 911 coups came from these 2 clubs. there's another one like this by the 3 place goes up. they are horrendous then you know a dealer out here they're at the lowest they can wonderingly and lays want to move further into the ground and it makes sense not to rain and i'm bleeding to death i don't want to help puppets down i don't want their help they're not my friends. you know what i'm here i've played a part in every single interaction i'm not yeah i'm a colorful rogue i mean. i've been known to have a bit of an attitude however they're professionals right i'm not i'm a fashion. i'm i'm not i'm i'm not imagine out there. there's always a lot dumber there's certain cards are there. and each on me honest i think a lot of me just say p.r.

to show that they're out there. busy they don't give us the cops are literally watching them shoot up and they do not arrest them they've got a bunch of drugs on them they do not because then they're making screening they're going to keep it away from the city keep it away from where people are screaming bloody. and if the cops a growed up when you listen to them and you believe the rest but now they tell you that they grabbed me put me against the wall surgery take my tummy to. make it go play not your boss. in spite of the ill feelings towards the the police say their approach is based on pragmatism and it's certainly trade that there's a been public drug use in full view of. you guys live on the streets out here yeah we've been downtown eastside for over a year. sleeping rough out when it gets to winter here is last night was out there it was very cool very rough yeah you know we got there was rain and the blankets

for that yet to lose. our he had weird. we had weird people like washing out and and we just letting it go out you know here's weird people like that came up and just like we're standing at the end of like the foot of like our bed and just staring at us. it's kind of creepy it is crazy and is very creepy this stuff happens here every single day oh. 000-0000 no no streets and strong ground i'm for a cold 3. 3 pieces for you like that you know for you know. i don't know at that moment. how did you guys meet. him in the library. and i ran after him geez.

why did you run off to love at 1st sight but yeah we were we were we were we were in we were in the library and we read catchin eyes. and then i laughed and then and then she laughed and i started walking down the street and you bastard i cannot let her leave so i ran out for and i freaked out obviously hey it's. a play you have to have menthol 5 minutes later we were making out for it one other that. i don't know that's what i mean here we were and we were we did we did make our own way and find out later. is this person like well no this is this is this is normal. this is this is totally normal this what we call it's what we call the you know the not or or the the hastings shuffle so. we we've been there we we've we've spoken heroin i overdosed like and i had i had somebody narc on me

twice ok saved your life you know i almost died slipped through my lips were blue i was dead you shouldn't just not doing drugs all together that's why it liquor and weed is all afternoon and gave it to us it is here and you know i think what do you think it was then the friends from definitely we didn't even have that much you know we should like a cherry and like yours and i was not sure i can name one you just inhaled one thing it off smoking it off on the foil we stayed late one night. and i basically almost died from one inhalation one. i was 3. doubt because they said cleek he was so deep when you're going to fight i. ever.

how does it make you feel looking back on that's a statement thinking you needed. never do it again. never again. you. know. what in think you know what i mean garnering put in you know hopefully for a little bit of water and.

take a syringe. that's. also some people use it filters and don't. let. nothing's going to fit into the syringe that isn't already getting it in there anyway and so. we've done for very. but. how does it feel. great. if i do it. oh and drugs are really what you make of it and i don't think there's a functioning addict so there.
