worm's is a city that is always shown america what is possible when we have the imagination to see the street.

the train. battered. obvious but also exposed silent storms that have ravaged the city and our country. the storms of moderator and joblessness equality and justice. that is why. it is time for us to make sure the reconstruction is making a real difference in people's lives. to give her we do more than rebuild the city we can create a model for america. katrina

could not knock this down. it took a man to come here with a board dollars and not get down.

i was born in one nine hundred fifty nine. they came up mother was accurate number . i was one years old so i can see all my life that i come from this area that has seen the changes. beauty i'm in real beauty. you might not see it but i can see the building is the only thing. i can elicit here on is full of shit. you know we got buildings right here. people would sit out.

there we would hang out on the porch is here you got a bam right here going to see it so you see the point of ports it is the number three does you know hit me i. can kick in the breeze. make you play and. you know i'll watch in a sports game some girls play ball is that. we sit here. we planning. this is home this will always be home. i'm just holding up. because i know we didn't have.

republican congressman from louisiana said about katrina god did in one week in what we've been trying to do for twenty years in terms of public housing so god was able to close public housing in one weekend while there are many people who have been trying to do that for decades and that's sort of a theme in the response to katrina is privatization public housing was privatized private developers were given the land private developers came in and demolished the good units that were there and private developers put up other apartment complexes on those spots which look nice and are beautiful to look at but of the thousands of families that lived in public housing before katrina hit the numbers look like roughly ten percent have been able to get back into their neighborhoods where they were before so the government destroyed people's housing. turn it over

to private developers gave them billions of dollars of subsidies and contracts to be able to do it and then kick the people out who had been there and those individuals those families who lived in public housing who were nearly one hundred percent african-american were not welcome back it was very clear that the official response on the federal level the state level the local level was you all really should go someplace else we don't really want. this one would be my him you see there. because it is a wonder. you know what. we what. we know it's only out only to

use. people to believe in. and only out is to come together find ways to support each other in these difficult times so we're not going away we're going to find a way to live in this is. and help too.

and like the liberalism on steroids. and that is part i think of the disaster capitalism it's also part of a conscious decision. local government state government federal government because it wasn't just let the market decide was let the market decide plus we'll give all

this public money to accelerate what the market wants to do and these longstanding patterns of racial discrimination and economic security those are still there and they have helped mold the response to katrina and they've helped side who are the winners and who are the losers this country. the really new orleans chose me so do once through me and because we want to be a part of there are. we build about the results of this town so i moved in two

thousand age the expectation that i had was to join another start a company that was going to be able to walk into a new situation and do what i do well which is help companies grow. there were no situations like that so people always ask what's the big idea you have for starting a company the big idea was i had to if i was going to do what i do i was could have to create the environment for that from scratch so loose it is only six years old but we've been growing very very quickly. we want to become the largest market research platform on the planet and we're trying to grow as quickly as we possibly can. there are a lot of tax credits this state of louisiana has gone out of its way to establish

what we were calling as the digital media tax credit what that means historically thirty five percent of every dollar spent on development technology development engineering and you think technical software development wise could be. would be given back to you by the state so essentially. develop it only cost sixty five percent on every dollar which is a huge benefit to a group company. will we're going to very similar experience on a much larger scale in new york new york now is seen as a entrepreneurship startup technical center. but twenty years ago it wasn't in my goal is to have similar outcomes for new orleans as for your son the new orleans in twenty years will be seen as the epicenter of entrepreneurship in the south. we're trying to be more as the next version of itself.

seemed wrong. but old rules just don't hold. any new world that is yet to shape out these days become educated and in gains from an equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. about your sudden passing i've only just learned you worry yourself in taking your last round turn. you're at the top to us we all knew it would i tell you i'm sorry but only i could so i write these last words in hopes to put to rest these things

that i never got off my chest. i remember when we first met my life turned on each breath. but then my feeling started to change you talked about war like it was again still some are fond of you those that didn't like to question our ark and i secretly promised to never be like it said one does not leave a funeral the same as one enters in mind it's consumed with death this one quite different i speak to you now because there are no other takers. to claim that mainstream media has met its maker. but this is the same as does this is to say all that was has come back oh the same

as i want to so will fall oh nora's got the money we're all fired right. we go on i am angry at this point we are going on. as and for i mean we live in a whole new war use because that's when we use. the . oh are all. huge challenges in oil and in terms of ensuring that people that lived here before katrina were able to return to the city when it comes to homeowners their own home program which was the government's response to help

homeowners was having discriminatory effects on people that were applying for grants. your grant was based on the priest or value of your house and so because of historic policies that. were in place in new orleans and many other places around the united states homes in african-american neighborhoods here were worth less. in white neighborhoods here and what that meant in concrete terms is that we would have clients with a home in an african-american neighborhood that would be receiving. sometimes as low as fifteen hundred dollars to rebuild their house and then you would have a family in a white neighborhood that experienced some level of damage that we get the fall grants from our account which was one hundred fifty thousand dollars. went to war and. so you see the change in me was really. you know it is.

partly everybody through the through. so. any bearing the problem was able to fix the house right there the funding that being funny how he wasn't able to pay taxes it wasn't able to sustain so they had been people from other states came in and bought up the property so that was part that is not. people who've been here a year is new people as people from other states also to people has given a job and they can't afford to come back because. they have they had no way to. to come back to what they had lost their houses just because they don't know that any way to build a house is a right away a meaning of what it is. this government programs to help of but the so long trying to get to trying to get it to get the money to get it at them.

so how a road home plea that you know because they pay the big point i actually am told to give you the money to give you your money may i got it to rule back from my dad's getting ready to battle in a bank and don't. give me my money back it came with a check in trying to figure out why whole year seven three didn't we and she of the fifty i wanted to make sure i knew you were young and when you came up the chicken see why do i owe the. damn got back with a so evidently they had been about four months ago so i'm still waiting for an answer but i still on the name gave you enough to redo it and here come rooms on the whole week over pages you only just read well i stand had a problem with one of the contractors to raise my house i gave him the twenty six thousand feet up it will do anything to the house he still put all the stuff all the way into it. so i got stuck with that.

how to make you feel minded and changing when you go ahead and people see him getting along like i don't want to be here in this neighborhood and not come. in. it's just that same. old thing i stayed out to lose that did a hurricane for five years when i came back is that my. own opinion of the state in one who was so moved in. it is that it would be. different. i am. cheney

stream and. all of our. ranks to stand for michael. the man i am. the main. man our. generic our dancing. in the. heartland our land our land our land. our. campus a master on the way our hands. and some of them are on the same.

brother charlie another has met them in a lather. the man the man marmelade the man. the landlord a man are now under. the law they are lower than the man they. say and stands and the lame. painted. white. when katrina hit the president bush. and his allies

along with some foundations across the country and people in louisiana said this is a great opportunity for us to try an experiment and charter rise the whole public school system sensually have a public school it's given to a private company and the private company gets the public money to run it but the private company decides who's going to be the teachers what are they going to have bus service what the curriculum is going to be and all that so how that happened was within two weeks the louisiana legislature at the request of the governor and with the support of the president had a special law passed the just applied to the city of new orleans and it was a takeover literally a legal takeover of the. thousand five when act thirty five was winding its way through the legislature many of us were still living in other places i was living in texas trying to rebuild my life

and then i was coming back and forth once i was allowed back in the war islands trying to get contractors and electricians and plumbers to help me put my house back together i knew many of the people were not in any kind of position. by the takeover of our school. within the first month they decided that they were going to dissolve the union which is one of the. because union in the state of louisiana. over eight thousand people lost jobs in the school system union jobs really good jobs in the new orleans area the teachers fought in court they lost they are where the louisiana supreme court said no you're not entitled to your job parents and you're looking

for an excellent school. tech academy is back in session our schools have some of the highest growth scores on the evening and the city of new york side tech academy is a perfect fit for scoring high and academics winning championships and tackle football and volleyball and working hard every day to get into the city's best high schools and colleges we provide a laptop for every child side tech academy is located a charter schools or businesses let's just be clear about that and what does a business do a business wants to maximize its profits and reduce its costs that means high cost students who need more resources to learn or more of a lot building for those schools so it cost less to educate a higher performing student. to educate a student who has a lot of meaning and they get to have autonomy to discriminate and we see that in the data. we

begin to see a lot of the titles change there were many people who had no experience running schools they may have been business people who will now become c.e.o. as they try their hand at operating a school. so i started working at ash at the end of my six months i knew i wasn't going to retire and. i knew it wasn't a place where i would become the kind of teacher that i want to be. yeah. so these three are the first grade class or close to the end of the hallway and i

was right in the middle. easterners everywhere the walls were covered in. motivational thanks and. the students achievement on the test was a big focus the more students who tested well makes the school look successful. school is successful then they can apply for a different grants and government funding schools with very low scores considered failing schools sometimes can be shut down or taken over by the state from my experience and understanding it kind of comes down to a money issue. test scores were displayed everywhere in the classrooms and outside on the walls we had daily meetings and scores were brought

up we would be shown. graphs and data from the different schools and discuss what we need to do to raise their scores. and for the students there was one particular test that they were taking in first grade they were shown their previous score and then on the other side they were shown their goal what we wanted them to get to to show that they were improving getting closer to on level. and said like oh right this is where you are now this is where you need to be and. we were. bribed with stickers and candy and parties if you do well since we like on the reading tests if they stepped up to the next reading level they would be brought pizza and cake to have in the classroom with all the osun there watching these kids getting

rewarded and there's not. too sure of the coach the she should go. oh. ya i. told. him to leave

them both so. you. just. have to leave the most of the really. good barbecue at the bar. cause i don't know that might buy the thing before they sell for what they sell but then so. but do you investigate the police officers behavior as well. i'll take drugs and weapons and presence here. people as. twenty of the twenty seven. candidates so prime ministers of all of the

european partners like the liberal majority the pulse of coalition governments the prime minister in election was held in holland just a few months ago the prime minister won with some be a twenty two percent of the vote and he's still trying to put kill this government together. it's all hypocritical of the europeans to say may doesn't have enough to the majority in most cases they do annoy them. sanibel the other. candidate. i mean a lot of. our own soner told them time is allowed to be back later today or tomorrow so all the balls are going to be thrown away. ya go. with the party i had.

to get up or be the. girl is the dog everybody wants school and the people here.

one year on from the political earthquake that was breaks it instability and uncertainty looms larger than ever over the u.k. future. the deaths of much. as. a civilian suffering intensifies during the campaign to push. down all raised over america's place liberation plans for the syrian city. and an eighty three year old holocaust survivor wins a gender discrimination case against an ally after she was asked to move seats when and also complained he couldn't sit next to.
