water shelter are not optional they're required for human survival so it's a. temporary solution and like the first stone foundation if you will to helping people who are homeless. according to elvis these cheap and portable tiny homes meant to be on the streets of l.a. . and they need to fix. but right now they're not moving anywhere because city authorities banned them so they used to belong to somebody. and now they're being used no now they've been sitting here for better part of a year collecting dust. people are struggling and suffering. so yeah it's really sad i mean it's you know this is human life here. los angeles authorities have accused his tiny himes of threatening public safety but elvis has seen the tiny house movement go viral online with support coming from right across the world

so with the help of internet crowd funding he's going rogue once completed they all have a new carbon pad they'll be alarms on the windows i put the vents these holes in the top you know it's really hot this summer here so that way the heat will rise and go out in the city of angels elvis isn't considered one by the powers that be. but to the homeless he's one of the few struggling to get them off the streets i don't quit and i don't give up and i definitely don't bow down to bullies people need shelter now if i have to build a tiny house for every last person to live five hundred years old then that's what i'm going to do. elvis is building his next house for a woman who brave man. so

a few people that live here. ravens living under the stopover next to a freeway. it's unhygienic and far from safe. the situation much worse than when elvis last saw. even his check of this rare yeoman service. that. could see. ravens being on and off the streets most of her life was over what's also in the area yeah sure after fleeing violent home when she was just thirteen years old. she once had a time but since the city forced most of the street she's been out here so you do not. tired after getting that house i happened to do pretty well you know a pretty good life right at the time when they took over when they do it. like

a dream come true. joy. elvis is worried by the state of this communal camp and he leaves to buy raven a tent until he can build her a new tiny house so we're going to have a tent and our rendezvous back to you guys in a little while. alone . things up a better situation. it's been a struggle. and. the city always kicks us out from the state. to create those. who want to costly their stuff every day. ravens out here. because she feels emergency shelters are either overbooked or

unsafe but city law was designed to move these camps on. and as a phone queue she receives a visit. our. boy said we got to. get a move on by saturday. raven has given orders. she's running out of places to go they want everybody downtown they were already one section. it's not going to happen we're trying to get our brats out. the door to get away from downtown they want everybody downtown but six downtown skid row. the worst place in history to be homeless downtown.

if you're homeless in l.a. city laws to keep streets clear give you two choices. keep moving. on the ones grow. this is the only place that you can sit up a tent without the city forcing the belief. that elvis is tiny homes aren't allowed here. skid row is. unlike anything else in the united states. i call it the worst manmade disaster in the us hi. how are you. doing ok. and details runs a big the agency shelter in the middle of skid row which would like to be seen the numbers of women seeking help in a truck in just a year but you me get deborah. to meet you unless you've got pretty eyes.

and he's on crutches because last year he lost a leg to the flesh eating bacteria that exists here still every day he's out inviting new arrivals to his shelter because he knows just how bad it gets more than two thousand people on the streets forty nine square blocks of skid row it's the worst hit that we've ever seen aadhaar just a good idea you really need to look down that street there's not one open spot or summat sidewalk. or i'll be a half a mile down that way. elvis is tiny houses designed as an option to avoid sleeping on skid row. because he is the increasing numbers of women and children a sleeping alongside drugs crime and the mentally ill. and police are the only source of protection such a pretty constant yes day and night. by.

the maintaining order here can be struck running with handcuffs. commanders running with handcuffs through this yes. i'll spend one night every once in a while and streets and i can't sleep because it's so dangerous and you just stay alert rats are running around running over people running in their trance and often people get beaten or assaulted or raped and that in effect can damage your health pretty quickly. so i'm all for tiny houses but there has to be restroom facilities and shower facilities because otherwise we're putting people in treacherous living can. it's

just as if they're in their community. and this is why andy's shelter keeps an open door policy but he's struggling to keep up with demand. for the feed right here right across the city shelters are full up many have to turn people away the simple fact in l.a. is there's just not enough shelter there are not enough beds forty seven thousand people experiencing almost this and there are about twelve thousand shelter beds or transitional housing beds even if people on the streets right now decided to come in there's nowhere to come in there's no place to go. up against with limited access to emergency shelters and low cost housing life on the streets in l.a. is an endless game of cat and mouse. because the city is charged with keeping the streets clean morning everybody this department of sanitation crew is about to move through the homeless encampments of skid row. watch out

watch out for hazardous materials watch out for human waste. industrial operations like this happen daily across los angeles to keep the streets clear the homeless to be constantly on the move. we are here every day in skid row every street is clean once every two weeks so this cycle that's the big effort we're doing. says think it's essential it's essential to the city's. center of the city's become a growth and also the city's image this team will put more than five tons in the gadgets truck today anything they deem to be unsanitary. most of it will be rubbish but some of it will be people's tents and the few positions. that.

i have thought of that for something. like that to get us a decision on this. guy you're in a ways. that says he gives advance notice of the clean up but not everyone gets the message and today there are some unlucky ones not a pretty lady or asked them to. they like it because repeating i mean if you want to homeless person living on the street you want to live if we sidewalk or people decide to devalue a loss leader. but the city's focus on keeping the streets clean means further instability when you're living on them. it's also one of the main reasons elvis is tiny houses a band playing to hampering operations like this. you know way it's with the

suburban attend on the street. so we can clean the area and if you're good side it's my safe conditions to live it so we basically the city has been a determination that those should not be on the city streets.

good bridge to come in your studio to eighty. thousand. he said. into. the so you pulled. in twenty eighteen what will see are central banks adding bitcoin to their strategic reserves alongside gold so big gold buyers like china and russia will be adding big point to their strategic reserves some banks possibly in venezuela they could completely change their fortunes in the global economy by switching over to

crypto switching over to bitcoin and then that will set a precedent for other countries of policy. later that day right. they made a mistake to agree. basically did they. can find out that getting you belongings can get out to the state. or property destroyed a. hundred i ask you. i know that. they can't even get a step. you know. pasted it killed me the rules they had to be tempe to wave in the driveway. to tennessee. don't cease to night. mrs

rainey. and this to me too always to move most. christine is new to the streets priced out of the winter just discreetly trying to get back in time. she says money by collecting her psychosis. but the authorities just take an entire week's work. at the recycle bin. but didn't. get the big. three. the city's clean up means that christine will be out here even longer. before anything for was better. than take into the to. know is a. well. for

many homeless people in l.a. a lack of affordable housing makes it almost impossible to get off the streets. list and three percent of the city's rental market is fake and. we walk around most of the night and then christine shows me something breaking. this is a famous blouse. test of the house that i called now. that i'm interested in. so that was her this is home for. this home has four walls. that's the cheering.

that again. i mean that mike. and he says in mind. this is my back. don't be a stranger ok. this is tiny holmes could help people like christine until they get back on their feet back in compton the pressure is on for him to finish ravens tiny house. but he still needs to locate a place we can put it some way the city clean up one easily find these are just two of over eight thousand lots of the city controls. but.

often stuff more love is not allowed. and while searching he gets a call from raven with an unexpected update. for you all right now from your son. yeah i'm pregnant. this morning they're very hard on a governor. over a over a vote on a very sure i have my life together elvis is already worried about reagan but he must to some enthusiasm i will listen to i gotta run right now but i'll call you back later that's that's great news we have to celebrate. and i want to. i want to jump for joy and like cry of this and on like. this is how quickly a change in circumstance can see your life go from bad to worse when you're on the

street. when the stakes raised for her tiny house i want to see her ravens coping with the news of her pregnancy. despite getting we'll just move she's still here at the same campsite. you know want to know. where they're. a little concerned regarding the conditions. living at this time i got a lot of business to take care of. don't know if i'm having the time to. also makes

me feel like. like. like getting off the streets. but getting off the streets is difficult for even. we talk more and she reveals the devastating level of violence she fled as a kid we did she live. i was listed as a juvenile runaway. bride to have been in prison. life. choice but in. time. ravens had to learn to be tough. but she's right on the edge. like more and more americans take keer. she's trips deep in the cycle of long term

homelessness. with no immediate way of getting out. when your life is the size of a teen can be a powerful tool. it's almost delivery day and with the news that raven's pregnant elvis is adding a special finishing touch to her tiny house. so i'm ok with just a little something to help her feel better and you know help her feel like she's got a nice guy to look at elvis knows how important little details like this can be he's watched too many people lose hope on the streets since the city forced me to take houses away from people three people have died mainly due to being stuck out in the elements not having anywhere to go so it's criminal. picture

smokey sitting in the doorway of her her tiny house one of the people who died was his close friend smokey who received the very first tiny house new year's morning i found her dead in somebody else's tent not even her own because the city took that to. so. it's pretty simple without shelter people die. it's been a few months but. was a good person and she was my friend. inside city hall the pressure is on to create more housing the city has approved a multibillion dollar strategy to help the homeless but it will take ten years to build thousand new units which is. yet officials refused to embrace elvis is

tiny for me a tiny house on a. parking space is not a solution were are doing that this service to those individuals who stayed in these tiny homes without the added but if a structure in place city council. opposed to tiny houses in his district because of concerns from angry residents. someone monitoring the site otherwise it'll be a free for all it'll be sex drugs and rock'n'roll and. they would absolutely have to have some rules of the. city is. here why put these guys back with elvis and the city is clear and yet again this time even in christine's camp right now that load open up there was

a show. that's considered a faulty item so it's going. almost in christine's belongings taken by the department of sanitation that raven's not around so only christine is here to see it they say you know hit well i mean do you get rock bottom. he did not run five every year. was. all that money spent. you could spend half of that and give these people a place to go but instead their tree in my hand. with ravens camp demolished most of her positions gone and with a baby on the way elvis must deliver her tiny house before nightfall to close with him. i finally found a suitable location for ravens tiny house in a quiet area mostly industrial. affect anybody.

elvis and raven hoped this part of downtown l.a. away from skid row would be safe from the authorities. with already he's must continue to keep l.a. streets clean days finally. for the time he has delivery and how i'm feeling very good by good very good i am going to drop out of this guy i'm going through a lot of hardship so this tiny house the suburban house. after the week that she's had and everything she's gone through on top of the in fragments it's more important now that she gets the house because i don't think she can go much longer with not get any rest. you really feel if. i do. think.

i think. i'm going to think that. most things i do in life are out of principle. i was taught that somebody falls down you pick them back up. that's what we should do in life. to remember that you know you know. you called me and said. you know people sit on the back porch. look at the stars said one looking up at the entire area have certainly seen it sit another bit tired but the stars it's got a magic little bit. so finally raven gets her own private space. hopefully the first time in over a year a good night's sleep and helen do you think it's going to last. that was said to

say with us forever i wish it could last forever. after god's hands. were. last writing insisting that we did not in keeping him i am. almost at twenty list that's just the.

kind you when you could talk or what if you didn't see it but showing you don't need you to brush it off i don't. oh. yeah so yes man is only one massive shock. to the family jewish but you might. just think that the fear of this casting discussed the custos through me just turn over young.

in two thousand and sixteen the panama papers show the world with a tax haven the secrets to trillion united states dollars passed through most of conseco in the amount of time that we've been in the panama papers exposure that's what it shows off of money it really is. journalism it's a fact of journalism looking at things that people want to keep secret and i'm asking why would they want to keep these things secret. millions of most like from psycho documents where examine. the all the people we basically have tried to get an advantage out of this song. newspaper. and probably other politician which was tough talking by the police the media would point to find targets such as the kings of morocco in saudi arabia the president of argentina several prime ministers. and russian president vladimir putin of

course. that tied so i have sued so many newspapers for defamation some things don't just happen by chance it was very striking there were no more american single specially good oh lots of people from the brics countries specially brazil russia and china that this special project reveals what was missed in the media coverage. the panama chronicles. was. a little bit of a bit of it only a game. where

there. life from the ruins reports from inside most saw hears from locals about surviving in their city five months after being liberated from islamic state and you know how . i was you know i know you want to. call. headlines russia and america's top diplomat speak on the phone. telling rex tillerson washington's approach to north korea is unacceptable. on their way from. relatives in israeli jails.
