4:40 pm
poor during the war unfortunately poor after the war very little infrastructure so in a way very little too to reconstruct and the problem was we logically should i say it's simple to deal with here you have something which is extremely complex you have infrastructures which are falling to pieces up to the point that on the whole system we have commissioned a study from a well known british school that is going to carry out a full study of the health system in the moment to two to know where we are today in yemen you are very serious crisis there is a food crisis there is also a crisis that has led to one million suspected community cases of cholera last year and that in a matter of six months it was going to fire in twenty two years of the i.c.r.c. had never seen something like that bringing back the country on the on back on its feet will be a long long lasting talks. there has been revealed that the former head of
4:41 pm
moscow's anti doping a poetry can go to a chunk of the key witness in the russian doping scandal failed to confirm a number of allegations against the country's athletes during his testimony to the court of arbitration for sport well in february the court upheld the appeals of twenty eight russian athletes banned for day but it's only now given some of its reasons. join me in the studio earlier to discuss the latest. byrne first and foremost in the past few years that we've seen the scandal and revelation say it has been established that pretty much every single athlete in russia dope so it seems it was common knowledge at least that they had a special drug cocktail brewed performance that the swapped their dirty urine samples for clean ones through some hole in the lab walls so a lot of was said and was said by a man named grigori roche and of so he was the key witness he put forward the allegations but in the in the case basically during that hearing the court of
4:42 pm
arbitration for sports he revealed that many of the stuff that he said was best circumstantial first and foremost he said that he never actually administered the said cocktail which he claims he concocted to himself he says that he never saw anyone administering these said steroid cocktail he didn't know how the cocktail was smuggled from russia abroad because well you know to be used in an international championship it would have to cross the border and also he's never been a witness to the mysterious you know you're in the swamp dirty to clean one he did say that his allegations came from basically talking to he's calling but that was it when it comes to these allegations and in the past two years his words were taken at face value i should say no one questioned them and broaching of himself was propelled to fame even starring in an oscar winning documentary about the
4:43 pm
doping problem in russia i was hoping to facilitate what it was and was deliberate employees in the sport's history was aware of the existence of a russian doping system. top level to the. chunk of claims were the foundation. which mclaren's report which was then used for a blanket ban on russian athletes and he was speaking to was an e in this court case what did he say well indeed sir richard mclaren a canadian law who basically pulled put the burden on his shoulders to compile a massive report on the scale of the doping problem in russia testifying in front of the same judge being cross-examined as well he said that basically while he did not shy away from mentioning athletes by name in the report in no way he said he meant to you know assume that they were guilty of something so basically being
4:44 pm
mentioned in his doping report did not mean he says that those athletes were complicit he also revealed he couldn't basically you couldn't explain justify to the court of arbitration for sport why he trusted roger and why he never questioned his allegations also he refused to provide the names of other witnesses of you know of turn it of sources so to speak he used to put together the report so the good news for those thirty say athletes that had their appeals up held but they would say well look ok that is good news but the damage as far as we're concerned is already been done to our names well indeed because what happened back in february twenty eighth russian athletes they used to be banned for life they had been banned for life from participating in the olympics which means they were stripped of their medal as the future held nothing for them from that point no more achievement see have. revoked and it happened literally
4:45 pm
a few days before the kickoff of the olympic games in south korea none of them were invited to participate saw there you have it you know mud sticks. it was donna speaking to me earlier in the week are you watching r.t. don't forget we've got plenty stories for you too what a website and you can find that he took. a thing editor of free trade interrupts freedom and i think interim freedom is a reversion back to neo feudalism and we see that happening right now by states and presumably here in canada as well that is concentrated in a few or fewer hands bradly
4:46 pm
a river of the risk of neil feudalism on the horizon crypto is is the answer in my view and it is an asset class and it is gobbling up market share and the us dollar is still all free up money is still. very. political a used to be the victim outside the system if you feel from some front of the future that might. want to look to the south take some. of those me. to the world. leave the world be a slow. to. come
4:47 pm
4:48 pm
see is back and they are here why do these guys now for me a tiny house is not a solution it will be a free for off. this nice safe conditions to live a. new super discipline and render 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
4:49 pm
l.a. a pint sized idea as well this summer as in a battle with city author already. when you have nothing and nowhere to go. you know having something like this may as well be a castle. the mayor of los angeles has declared 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 like the first stone a 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 yeah yeah. and now
4:50 pm
they're being used you know now they've been sitting here for a 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 homes 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 crowdfunding he's going rogue once completed they all have a new carbon pad. alarms on the windows i put the vents in these holes in the top you know it's really hot summer here so that way the heat all 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
4:51 pm
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. elvis is building his next house for a woman who brave and. so few people that live. ravens living on the top next to a freeway. and five from say. the situation much worse than when this last. check of this is already on a service. the
4:52 pm
sea. ravens been on and off the streets most of her life. area yeah sure after fleeing violent home when she was just thirteen. she once had a time since the city of st she's been out here so you do not. tired after getting that. pretty well. pretty light at the time. but it would. seem the. elvis is worried by the state that this communal camp and he. by raising the tent until he can build her a new tiny house so i'm going to have a tent and our rendezvous back to you guys in a little while. alone present tense up about a situation. it's been
4:53 pm
a struggle. and. the city always keeps us now from the state it'll stay clean those. who want to costly move their stuff every day. not just. ravens out here because she feels the mission see shelters are overbooked or unsafe but city law was designed to move these camps on. and as a phone q she receives a visit to. our. boys and we got to. get him about this by saturday's. opening. bell this. raven was given orders.
4:54 pm
she's running out of places to go they want everybody downtown they were but one section. it's not going to happen we're trying to get or branch out. is going 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 lewis to keep streets clear give you two choices. keep moving. on the monster growth. 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.
4:55 pm
i call it the worst manmade disaster in the us high. are you. doing ok. and he fails runs a big emergency shelter in the middle of skid row would you like to be seen the numbers of women seeking help in a trip home in just a year what you mean can't daedra nice to meet you unless you 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
4:56 pm
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 asleep in alongside drugs crime and the mentally ill. and police are the only source of protection such a pretty constant ending yes day and night. for maintaining order here can be struck running with and. commanders running with handcuffs through this fast. 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 tents and often
4:57 pm
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 conditions just as if they're living in a tent. 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 two 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
4:58 pm
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. daily across los angeles to keep the streets clear forcing 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. i think it's essential it's essential to the city's
4:59 pm
livability the 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. have thought of something. like. this that. you're in a waste. that the city gives advance notice of the cleanup but not everyone gets the message and today there are so many lucky ones. when you're asked them to. they like it because repeating i mean if you want to person living on the street
5:00 pm
you want to live if we sidewalk 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 in the suburban and then on the street. if you're good side it's nice safe conditions to live it so we basically the city has been. germination that those should not be on the city streets. for a world cup twenty eight team coverage when you've signed one of the greatest goalkeepers of all time but that was.
