once again, karla santos shows herself as a steadfast funnel at the fisherman and local politician vito. the mood among the campaigns is more diesel when not everyone believes that the problem of coastal erosion could be solved by building new houses isn't by industrial good, if possible to step by step, we're finding our way forward, excellent goodies. if we win the election, i gotta go continue resettlement program of a land building. our neighborhood right over there. ok, st. present old to le, packed up in a pulley and the mood is considerably more pessimistic than an ash maurice. the news has arrived for the government in lisbon is serious about tearing down the restaurants on the june's. the hope is that this will allow the natural june and skate to gradually recover. fishman, adriano feels, let down. he now has his own plan to save the village. he asked an architect to

draw him the muddle and has been trying to convince his neighbors for weeks. as a look at this model, concrete break borders should be submerged into the sea. around 300 meters from the coast. mice would help offset the tiles. is none. yeah, man. but if you're poor really prima once yourself, what? yes. what about weakening the power of the waves of them? you have that will be one possible solution you have is mccoy. zekiel is primarily zap ourselves feathers memorized as river zap on the 4th floor. my right to the fire. my suggestion we that of a humble fisherman who has lived here his whole life away. they haven't they. yeah . godaddy every directness gra matter. you could only be a benefit for the genius of water, but also for the shipment of the sea floor and foreigner. and we fishermen would have more to cash of order one by one of us. element of him slacking resume video
