the list the rate has increased by thirty percent this. new orleans is one of the most dangerous cities in the united states it's also the one considered as the most joyful. its nickname is big easy. but hurricane katrina struck louisiana in august two thousand and five and it literally saw new orleans. winds over one hundred ninety miles per hour floods over several feet. one thousand were killed. one hundred thousand were forced to leave new orleans falls into chaos and poverty.

cuts like. in the neighborhoods hit by the floods criminality exploded. especially on the eastern part of the city where murders happen on a daily basis not. so simple citizens like brandon gear up to defend themselves. i keep a lot of this stuff handy just in case again something crazy happens active shooter . a young millionaire sidney torres fights to increase security in the tourist. is what. those little connected electric. field said was happening and that's you know i'm looking on the g.p.s. right now to see that the machine is. built on swamps new orleans is surrounded by alligators there are more alligator they are everywhere.

plagued by violence not the big easy as falling into chaos. in treme to reno welcomes us inside his mother's home and the house where he grew up with his brother killed by gunfire. with i would love. to out to. dreams cuz it was also affected by violence. i'm sixty years though i lost a son down in the was he was seventy it be about thirty eight now he was shot he was shot in murdered some it's the second murder your mum has several my friends the many oh i couldn't come about

a lease over the years by the least twelve members of my family close numbers and murder. the reason behind those murders is drug trafficking. like many others trains brother was a drug dealer he made a lot of money. cia. and this is already at a pretty much lived his life oppa. for the most part mango is the clown and that was all i had a person now talk about movies. even using clothes as one of the things that we. know when mayhem was in the. very early on the young man felt deep into criminality most criminals have weapons here. that he's got a lot of. black sheep in the us he wanted people shooting up

anatomy a lot of times and so that's something but i still check for. in the afternoon goes to the very fancy esplanade ave to go to st anna church. and entire war is dedicated to the victims of crimes committed in this city. no. less a lot of man. on this one more than three hundred names for this year only. most of these men and women were shocked. and under thirty. who would give some type of commemorations of the people that lost their lives said . bill terry the priest came up with the idea to write those names on the

walls of his church. and we decided that naming the names of murder victims in a public display would be helpful in reminding us all that these are human beings so. this morning you will add five new names to his memorial including tarim brother. there are so many victims that he no longer has time to have the name. graves were shot september. america raised off a box it's not just by god it is one of the reasons look at the movies in america that are the stuff that goes on in this country so all of that equates to the it's as our it's. the last name that the priest and his terrains brothers. pray for the future. of her.

military they can writing those names eight years and. he will soon run out of space to write the names of the new victims. at the same moment east of the city a young man was just killed another drug related act of revenge. the police has shut down the neighborhood the local t.v. stations are already there. to face various criminal was hit by gunfire killed five healthy. a young cousin of the victim was shot in the arm also admitted to having gone well too heavily armed men fired on the young man as he was leaving his home. shell casings are all over the ground bullet holes. the neighborhood is in shock. and. the

mother of the victim this devastation that. this is my son. this is still about it thinks he is though he's granted. soon as our goal is that much now gone kill the novis designed a month of the love in a bullet in my birth the birth of the mayor in the n.h. that my little baby nephew for you so in his own uncivil the one who came out of the woodwork. given the. kind of a risk every day this is my brother. house now picking it. ain't one of them keep it running. through. the now if you. do great. it's a member of. the murderers could be from the same neighborhood. but.

it's unbelievable so you can identify you know you know the guy who shot yes oh my nieces and my son i'm not because from aleppo. jacob lives just across the road. he's also a drug dealer. what happened today doesn't surprise him. it was that most people of my age look up to you to do which is street night i.e. handy so you can find the one she wasn't about to know but what you do home is a lie but say you. know. in the black neighborhoods like this for. forty percent of children the below the poverty line. unemployment is twice as high as in the rest of the city. these inequalities have created racial tensions.

on the other side of the town in this upmarket area tarina stopped by i want to. be doing a piece about. she's giving him grief for talking to white journalists. he would be best in the us. you have the right now but i mean eight. months in time will bring in more of a mountain. kate. oh my ok i'm sure that would. help and i'm very much. in the. ok so this is a neighborhood it's not just book right now the whole center and we don't have you have got one of those neighborhoods like this are now they making this a video so i miss don't bring more of their writings are joined up because i have no answer just hours after the black mayor i write this it's because they asked this question they think ok ok ok can you pass an address this is you and you

versus i or if i was that you don't have nothing like a gun and apply it to bases separation is our salvation. the best sound bite we can get them to stop killing devil. by god. this woman is part of the nation of the so. a radical muslim organization that promotes the superiority of the black race. with no make just manufacture consent to step into the public well. when the ruling classes protect themselves. with the final merry go round listen to the one percent.

we can all middle of the room say. hello my name's peter and i've been living in bush now for about seven years and this is a film about just some of the crazy things i've got to in the time. when you get up yet. i still live.

live . in new orleans two centuries of slavery have left painful scars within the african-american community. that accounts for two thirds of the town's population

moreover that african-americans feel that they were abandoned during hurricane katrina. in two thousand and five under the pressure of the water dozens of poorly maintained levees broke. mud flooded eighty percent of the town that was under sea level. today the town still bears the scars of the disaster especially the poor neighborhoods. aka the dancing than those here one of the most devastated areas. he believes that nothing has been done to rehabilitate this neighborhood. i don't buy. this stuff i. talk back to him after it's me.

this is only one of about twenty thousand. that twenty thousand that's like. pretty. much. for aaron there's a bend in areas so the reason for the increased crime rate. this is down the black neighborhood. high crime people become a crime in aware of drugs wherever you got drugs are. african-american people the flow speed it with us. situation of the country no job no food. if you not eat. if you not eat i then when a situation yeah yeah you know you will go to the stream the hungry people of will to deed stream. since the hurricane criminality has increased by forty percent.

on the other side of the city we encounter a different atmosphere. louisiana is a former french colony and the most touristy area really is the french. arena tourists from all around the world get a. lot of. success . and of course here jazz is everywhere. bars with dance floors and every.

day for the last two. this neighborhood is also played by violence last year one person was killed and nine were injured in a shoot out in the middle of the french quarter. on another night a man attempts to kidnap a drunk girl. man tries to stop him. but the aggressor points into seattle. the man begs for mercy. dresser shoots him in the stomach then tries to kill him. luckily his weapon jams. the shooter takes flight. the men will survive this incident. the aggressor you're a cain twenty one has already been charged with rape and robbery. you'll be

arrested two days later. am night these types of aggressions are multiplying especially in restaurants which of become new targets for the criminals. the pathway is a fancy restaurant. six months ago the own choosing and his team were the victims of an armed robbery. as lorenzo general manager. fellow for the back right up front you know. how you do it it's a riot. yeah on that day the restaurant was packed like it is tonight. the security cameras have recorded the whole scene. there were three robbers. one guy came in and maybe a second attitudes and slater two guys came in behind him the first and then the second guy came in very telling me to go rounds the first day and he wanted to hear

the register hit right here in the drawer then for a second put a gun to his head made it go to the ground they got this is not a job now or what else. claim carries a gun but he chose not to use it on that night avoiding a bloodbath it's the threat of being shot or killed that's the it's not a wallet it's not a cellphone it's not money it's not stealing my car it's someone gets shot and there's no other option do you carry a gun to know it's a difficult issue though because i'm not for it but in a mill you like this worse there are so many dangerous people with guns it makes sense for people who own guns to protect themselves. in the united states the gun issue is a sensitive subject. are they responsible for the increasing number. in

new orleans more and more people chose to arm themselves. to. play. brennan forty years old former police officer. he doesn't leave the house without his arsenal and i'm going to just go right on the waistband. all the medical evidence is really very simple it just has what we call combat balls this particular gauze has he must static agent. show unity in the not only so they both have this wave opening feature which imagine my my pocket here got this little hook as i go to pull this out the pocket this little hook catches the inside of the pants and opens it automatically as a whole it out so i can i can defend myself from either side maybe a push against a wall and this side i'm not able to get this knife so i can get to this one or

vice versa. like most people in new orleans brennan was traumatized by katrina. at the time he was still a police officer had to face chaos. this was if you're right there's the mississippi river this is all part of the levee system there was a breach in a levee where one of the oil tanker barges hit it and with that there was some oil so it was really nasty down here. disaster. when you have adversity at the level that katrina was that's when those true call the start coming out. of family members to dallas to evacuate and when i was coming back into the city in dallas texas i had in a p.d. units passing me leaving the city. many police officers never returned. and now we're you know we're very low in manpower dangerously low not only for the

citizens but for the department themselves i mean these guys are you know we look we get more and more people shoot up police is just it's never seen more of that than i've ever seen before. obsessed with safety. he transformed his car into a real armory. i keep a lot of this stuff handy just in case again something crazy happens active shooter as a you know concealed carry permit also keep a rifle is the actually technically a pistol but i keep something that's a little bit bigger than i keep additional ammunition as as well. body armor medical equipment the stuff that i would simply need a san active shooter at a school or something like that and then also just keep kind of general preparedness stuff vehicle maintenance stuff tools things for spare flat tires a water fluids for the vehicle general maintenance stuff that you know probably everybody should have in their vehicle. after quitting the police

brennan chose to open a gun shop. you can find everything here from an automatic gun to an a k forty seven. but in the red is there going oh oh how far is the range zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero for let us know a little bit with the growing insecurity about brennan says this is flourishing because like especially considering that in louisiana arm sales are deregulator cool clothes you know if you anything all right well you will say you have gone. and you carried with you you have it on you today and you're sure it's ok so you feel in danger. even if. you know. in this town the number of firearms is booming their sales doubled the last ten years.

but a new orleans. man has found another solution than weapons to fight criminality. it's in the heart of the french quarter that live city tourist a forty year old millionaire. he made a fortune in the garbage disposal service. i'm driving it you know rat today there we expose a good quote around eight hundred ninety thousand herb by. a millionaire in. his house had been burglarized several times so soon he decided to invest part of his fortune into the security of french quarter. he created a unique and. it allows people to send real time information to the policeman of

the neighborhood. you see something that says look suspicious prostitution drug dealing you see somebody getting rob you take this out and you can take a picture and send it and it goes directly here it's like having a police officer in your pocket. although once again this is a crime this came in over the radio and they say they sent a picture here you see suspicious person dolfin in governor nichols and they took a picture of him see him on the corner you see him on the ground they act like they're sleeping but they're they actually rob people when you walk. his idea was born after his conflict with the mayor of new orleans who he publicly accused of being in active in front of the rise of criminality i tried to get a meeting with the mayor and he wouldn't meet with me so i made a thirty second commercial and i started putting it all over the t.v. calling the mayor out on the crime in the city the french quarter is under siege by

criminal the problem can be it is only six blocks by thirteen. you may as well advised me to come in this equipment from the millionaire office to you know the violence in the city really never the same way to do it with garbage like. we should hold for the administration accountable for there was a real provocation. and so he didn't like it and he took offense to it he made millions and millions and millions of dollars off a garbage contract in the french quarter and maybe he should just to get some of that money and do it himself if he thinks it's so easy it's just not like the city decided to follow his advice and invested several hundred thousand dollars to create a french quarter taskforce a unit that works directly with the task force you download it and you're able to connect police do exactly this was something that was launched just days ago in tonight's businessman city tour today the young millionaire has become a star in the american media. you know who as you can see had way

last gray white black and blue. this afternoon he has yet another t.v. interview. has become a reference in the fight against criminality. you know it's not just a lot of people in jail for arresting our way it's that it has to we have to have programs the mayor the city the citizens work together. if we receive so much. it's because his app is a real success in his neighborhood criminality is down by forty five percent. 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. he's there's just not enough shelter even if people on the streets right now decided to come in there's nowhere to come in and it's been a struggle. running into this man found his own response to the problem and constructed dozens of tiny homes for people in need of shelter when you have nothing and nowhere to go. you know having something like this may as well be a castle but do the authorities accept such solution. me house on a city parking space is not a solution you heard someone monitoring the site otherwise it will be a free for all and this is there a better alternative to end the homelessness crisis. here's what people have been saying about rejected in the senate it's full on awesome the only show i

go out of my way to generally what it is that really packs the. yampa is the john oliver of r t america is going to say we are apparently better than blue. sea paper you never heard of love redacted tonight was the president of the world bank paid money to write me seriously he sent us an e-mail. i had a great education a good job and a family that loved me. i never had to worry about how i would eat some where i would sleep. i'm facing christmas alone out on the streets of london. well you got to be a bit cold. a couple of other people you like going to school you know just not in the still give up food for the homeless. because you don't really feel like you have the big you know. and then. the guy

just came over smithsonian gave me his you know this book. if you. don't know. if you don't know. if you.

can. support me in government holding a fourth day of rallies today. across the country left at least twenty one people dead. however the events of the last few days in iran may be they do not constitute a threat to international peace and security the security council should not discuss the. issues the un security council request holds on emergency meeting over the situation in iran however the initiative is criticized by some members who say it's an internal issue for tehran . also ahead this hour another suspected saudi led coalition strike.
