11:36 am
isn't that a sketch of the city of clock loreal woman went out in the morning and said you are not putting up be the outside my house. i told him they were coming to this station who didn't want the water meters and that was us. waiting an hour or two there was a massive support of people here to stop them. and this was the first time that the irish people had taken a stand on any issue since austerity had begun says the troika right to the toes of the not. because. i thought it was. i think for some people it probably was the straw that broke the camel's back. and no one of the sudden moves in the street together. and people who are joining the docks and you know what has the water meters got to do with the fact that you

in twenty fifteen and as became minister of the environment portugal's newly formed left wing government after the twenty fifteen elections was a policy change soon enough to. deal with a system of the vs a pulse the believe it. but they meant that yeah it is the in this movie see use could they. be vows. to bash. that. no city feed it was not received boost me but this is the view to see the vamps. unfortunately the government has washed its hands of these cases according to portugal's constitution municipalities are autonomous and the state is forbidden to intervene. dimple well those who vote on d.s. bossiest c.d.o.
11:50 am
believe that these are the lever us most into. like a veto mundo us most of us all to the real cull esau had already yards at the at the divorce place for you minerals. the key is to kick you boil it is for us as well etc. marcello some passes to fit into have to get by on their own. mr gomes knows he has no choice he's bound to pay a huge amount of compensation one hundred seventy two million euros will go to the private water company because the bottom a spinosa palate he failed to reach the envisaged population and water consumption
11:51 am
targets. the municipality also realized it had lost all technical know how regarding water management. going to their shelves in d.s.d. ph you are by poor board. so mr gomez decided to negotiate with the company will she be so maybe to start shepherd all battle to explore an actual workable south facts known by spark to give the thread. themselves to two versions. home with vs one school without is no. zied. inc will leave you if they just. look out. past us different era but the most expensive water in portugal did not appeal to
11:52 am
the courts. umberto brito seeing troubles realized that the game was lost and try to negotiate with the company. you know seems to me was going to. mislead lucas and cooper the uses of. the past for. bison. oh and. activist against water charges often patrol this cork neighborhood. if they find an irish water crew installing meters they try to force them to leave . oh we say you know what we need. everybody knows that
11:53 am
nothing is set in stone yet. the commission keeps pushing islands to comply with the community directive and impose meters and water charges on its citizens. and there is this principle which is. framed in the water directive that the polluters should be sold there should be a direct responsibility of this cannot be done with a general exception obviously next friday i mean same time. we'll do that right yeah i get all that but we don't act on when. faced with an unprecedented public disobedience the government is trying hard to maneuver between public discontent and the demands of brussels. what we're trying to do know in a small way they would say has to happen because the european union toss it has to
11:54 am
happen because detroit at all of us that's what it has become tom logic on its head very very quickly because when the european commission offers a different opinion something acts for example that apple corporation older citizens of this country talk to been taught in billion euro suddenly the ideology works and there's and certainly don't you liberals say that the european commission it's only an opinion we're powered of europe but it doesn't it doesn't take away our ability to meet our own decisions in relation to how we tax how can the unit be in commission take away our ability to meet our own decisions in relation to water for an opinion of the very same body and the very same people alone has to be her own decisions in relation to given apple a thirteen billion year old gift. well all you have to do is look at who profits to explain those contradictions.

our planet you know it isn't really a very pretty picture and so in addition to sending this chaotic messages that we use to communicate with one another we want to send a clear signal to the extraterrestrial that there's also some rationality on the world. los angeles the city of luxury and fame but also an alarming number of people living in the streets . the simple fact in l.a. is there's just not enough shelter even if people on the streets right now decided to come in there's nowhere to come in it's been a struggle. this man found his own response of the problem and constructed dozens of tiny homes for people in need of shelter. when you have nothing in order to go. you know having something like this may as well be a castle do the authorities accept such solutions tiny house on
