unusual which. football celebration turned into a massive brawl on saturday in the german city of magdeburg police used water cannons to disperse a group of fans celebrating the local team's promotion to the german second division fires were set on the streets with bottles and firecrackers thrown at police twenty eight officers were reportedly injured and eleven people also arrested. and that does it for me at this hour my colleague you know neil will be here in about oh twenty nine and a half minutes with a pulitzer news watching our international stay with us.

there was always some are saying i built tiny houses for the homeless. cities and they are here why do these guys down for me a tiny house is not a solution it will be a free for all. nice safe conditions to live in. the city of los angeles. always good terrorist and. nobody should be homeless anywhere but especially in one of the richest countries in the world.

i build everything was true because i make a lot of mistakes. and it's easy to back out your mistakes in compton south central l.a. a pint sized idea as well this summer as in a battle with city author already. when you have nothing in order to go. you know having something like this may as well be a castle. the mayor of los angeles has to clear the city is in the midst of a homelessness crisis. is trying to solve it one tiny house at a time the tiny house idea is very simple it's shelter. food water and shelter are not optional they're required for human survival so it's a. temporary solution and time's a mint 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 yeah yeah. and now they're being used no now they've been sitting here for better part of a year collecting dust. and people are you know struggling and suffering. so yeah it's really sad i mean it's you know this is human life here you know. los angeles authorities have accused his tiny himes of threatening public safety. 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 new carbon pads 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 until i'm five hundred years old then that's what i'm going to do. well this is building his next house for a woman brave and. so few people that live. ravens living under the top next to a freeway. it's on hygiene and fire from say. the situation much worse than when this last. check of this is already on a service. that. the

sea. ravens been on and off the streets most of her life. area yeah sure after fleeing violent home when she was just thirteen so. she once had a time since the city forced most of the street he's been out here so you do not. tired after getting that. pretty well. pretty light at the time when it's. what it would. like. to. do it. elvis is worried by the state but this communal camp and he leased by raven a tent until he can build her a new tiny house so i'm going to. be back to you guys in a little while. alone

present opens up about a situation. it's been a struggle. to get. the city always keeps us out from the state it's us they create those. who want to costly move their stuff every day. not just. 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 cue she receives a visit. a . boy said we got to. get him about this by setting.

up an. elvis. raven was given orders. she's running out of places to go they want everybody downtown they were ready one section. it's not going to happen we're trying to get our branch out. the door to get away from downtown they wired by downtown but six in downtown skid row. the worst place in history to be homeless downtown. if you're homeless and l.a. city laws to keep streets clear give you two choices. keep moving. on skid row. this is the only place that you can sit up a tent without the city forcing belief. but 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 u.s. hi. how are you. doing ok. andy fails runs a big emergency shelter in the middle of skid row would you like to he's seen the numbers of women seeking help in a triple in just a year what you mean can't daedra nice to meet you plus 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 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. for 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 starts a pretty constant ending yes day and night. for maintaining order here can be struck running with and. commanders running with us through this yes. i'll spend one night every once in a while and streets and i can't sleep because the. it's so dangerous and you just

stay alert rats are running around running over people running in their tents 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 in people in treacherous living conditions just as if they're in their community. and this is why and the shelter keeps an open door policy but he's struggling to keep up with demand i can see 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 shelters 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. stuff think it's essential it's essential to the city's . essential to the city's become a growth and also the city's image this team will put more than five tonnes in the gadgets truck today anything they deem to be unsanitary. most of it will be rubbish but some of it will be people tents and the few positions filled by pleading tactical fighting. have brought about for something. like. this that. you're in a waste. that the city gives advance notice of the cleanup but not everyone gets the message today there are so many lucky ones. when you're asked them to.

they like it because repeated i mean if you want to person living on the street you want to live if we sidewalk or decide to value 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 waits at the suburban tent on the street. and if you're good side it's not a safe conditions to live it so we basically the city has been a determination that those should not be on the city's streets.

seemed wrong. but old rules just don't go all. the way to get to shape our disdain comes to educate and engagement equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart. just to look for common ground. later that day right back right camp. they made

a mess that took the three. basically to the bank. and find out that getting your belongings could get up to the state. or property just destroyed it. and if i ask you if. i knows it. take you in the midst of. you know. this it will be the rules you had to be tempted away from the driveway. you didn't ask to be down from sixty nine. and this is rainy. and this to me too i wish to move my stove. christine is new to the streets priced out of the winter just despite me trying to get back. she says money by collecting psychosis. but the authorities just take an entire week's worth. the recycling does. a.

body like. that get to be a bit tough to get a street. the city's clean up things that christine will be out here even longer. for anything for was matter. intake inflicted. now is to say. oh well. for many homeless people in l.a. a lack of affordable housing makes it almost impossible to get off the streets. liston three percent of the city's rental market is vacant.

we walk around most of the night and then christine shows me something breaking. this is the famous grouse. that i called my home. now the memories here in. so that was this is home for me. i do this home there's four walls. that's all to cheer in. again. to say god i mean that mike. and he says in mind. this is my back. don't be a stranger ok. well

this is tiny homes 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 won't easily find these are just two of over eight thousand watts of the city controls. but. often stuff is not allowed. and while searching he gets a coup. right even with an unexpected update. for you now right after your turn around the. yeah i'm pregnant. or. this morning i'm pregnant hard underground ireland our only elf way over it our time great is here

and i have my life together elvis is already worried about reagan but he must to some enthusiasm i will listen i got to run right now but i'll call you back later that's that's great news we have to celebrate. and i want to trick you 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. but the stakes raised for her tiny house i want to see her ravens coping with the news of her pregnancy. despite getting orders to

move she's still here at the same campsite. you don't 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 raven. we talk more and she reveals the devastating level of violence she fled as a kid. i was listed as

a juvenile runaway. in prison. life. much worse but the. ravens had to learn to be tough. but she's right on the edge. like more and more americans take here. 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 it's criminal. picture smokey said in the doorway of her her tiny house one of the people who died was his close friend smokey. he received the very first tiny house new year's morning they found her dead in somebody else's tent not even her own because the city took that too. so. it's pretty simple without shelter people die.

so. 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 hundred thousand new units which is. officials refused to embrace elvis's tiny for me a tiny house on a parking space is not a solution we're doing at this service to those individuals who stayed in these tiny homes without the out of. infrastructure in place city council. opposed to tiny houses in his district because of concerns from angry residents.

someone wanted 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 and. see if they are 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. and christine's belongings are taken by the department of sanitation but residents not around so only christine is here to see it they say you know you're welcome i mean she hit rock bottom this is my run fight every year. was. all that money spent.

you can spend half of that and get these people a place to go but instead they're treated 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 it's not going to affect anybody. elvis and raven hope this part of downtown l.a. away from skid row will be safe from the authorities. with already he's must continue to keep l.a. streets clean days finally. for the time he has to live very feeling

very good by good very good i want to drop a lot of things as i am going through a lot of hardship that's not this tiny house it's a person asked. after the week that she's had and everything she's gone through on top of being pregnant it's more important now that she gets the house because i don't think she can go much longer not get any rest. you really feel if. i do. think. i think. i'm going to. ok. 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 so i want looking up at the entire area have to see it sit another good 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. most definitely wasn't a victim. of any kind of the federation or i think from the russian side because it was both really destroyed russian could be true as far as exchanges are concerned and they are dependent on it because they certainly have to get their people think if they get into trouble.
