1:31 pm
comfort i love it so this is something that actually when i bought it it was a big. and it was $1300.00 saw my payments on the only thing in the house it's really expensive for me now so this is my daughter. and her financial difficulties have gotten worse since she started to accommodate her niece jennifer an unemployed single mother who has 3 children to take care of. lindsey and jayden fortunately jennifer receives food stamps. on the forests they. accordingly how many kids and year. they put in so much on their own i get every month on the far south $646.00 just by fluke this for.
1:32 pm
$560.00 euros a month to feed 5 people a tight budget before going shopping but 2 women check the balance on their card. and i. surrender and jennifer can spend their food coupons in any supermarkets like this discount store where they regularly go. once at the checkout the food stamp card works just like any other credit card. and in this shop in the appalachian they are by no means the only ones who use it how many people for instance here. and probably have the right honey can prove it's a it's a it's a lot yeah yeah. good thank you. donald trump is planning to cut down on the amount of people who receive food stamps he risks making an already

1:35 pm
or 4. well it kind of gypsy out because it makes you think it's everybody's lined up like you go to a concert to get there just to keep you keep your daughter stuff and you don't. actually these people are arriving by the hundreds quite simply to see a doctor because every year here for a weekend all you're going to get in this line is medical on a nonprofit organization arranges free consultations how there is that huge name. a lot of their families in this area are. the working class families there's struggling to choose between paying for medicine that can save their life or groceries for the week so. it's a shame to have to to do it this way but you've got to take care you people in these are our people in this is why we take care of our people. even though the

1:38 pm
care for more complicated illnesses. for. the most remarkable part takes place in the sports hall transformed into a gigantic dentist office all day long 60 dentists descale drill fill and remove teeth by the dozen a daunting sight for some. of the lighting upon the scene is overcome with emotion. beautiful all the people volunteering. for many people getting help that need it. the former sister passed away. here albert's teeth taken out and she didn't have any teeth or face and she was younger than i am now and she was my older sister

1:42 pm
sake you. can not that i can. smile now and feel that. i want to remember you. yet still. think. it to you. it. wouldn't make nice to think. that. if the family had paid for all this treatment they would have had to spend over $3000.00 in the united states there are still some american citizens that are personally taking action to give aid to the poor. at the other end of the country a man has embarked upon a mission against poverty which has plagued the sidewalks of his city
1:43 pm
a legendary city that is seldom associated with poverty. just this is los angeles i say listen hollywood. 38 year old punk elvis is furious with what los angeles has become in recent years. it's not a 3rd world country so are the richest countries in the world it's almost like a movie prop it on it's hard to fathom that like every single day this is how people live. audio no t.v. no crowd. no shots no. action belts because. well it's true no arrests want to. point your thirst for action.
1:44 pm
fix. in seoul you can't get away from advertisement opinion to change your appearance. many local people see plastic surgery as a prerequisite for a successful career employers are often most interested in a job seekers appearance as a graduation present parents often give daughters plastic surgery for an extra fold in the eyelids to make their eyes look figure out. almost every korean teenager dreams of looking just like sick pay paul needles.
1:45 pm
los angeles is the symbol of the california dream the heart of hollywood cinema and the temple of luxury and yet today los angeles is the homeless capital of america in the last few years the number of homeless people has increased from 33255000 beneath the business towers the situation has become trash. when i was a kid in lived here it was nothing like it is now i left for almost 2 decades and i
1:46 pm
came back a few years ago and it just it just blows my mind it's just going to increase because every month the cost of everything keeps going up there's no regulation so . apartment owners and landlords can raise the money you know the rent. whenever they like but nobody's paychecks are getting bigger. outraged by the situation of these homeless people notice gave up his job as a sales assistant he lives on the salary of his partner layout who works at the university in this way elvis can devote all his time to helping the homeless. a little further from downtown the woman has moved in beneath this bridge elvis in libya regularly pay her a visit. if.
1:47 pm
tammy has been living here for 5 years in a small tent that she shares with another woman inside they are at the mercy of the dangers of the street they've already been assaulted several times but just look at everywhere they did they just tore right open and. now now she doesn't even have a door and she sleeps out here night there's also no lights right over here so it's very dark and you know especially as a woman that's pretty damn scary even if a guy is it's scary thought he might walk up in the dark walk right in do whatever they want. to help these people elvis wants to do more than just bring them bottles of water his major project is hiding in the courtyard of his church he came up with the idea to build small wooden houses for them they're not big barely 4 square meters but inside elvis in libya have thought of every last thing to improve the daily lives of these homeless people.
1:48 pm
we knew on and yes so what does it mean so if someone tries to open a window with alarm. this rate here allows people to sleep when people sleep they can think they can do better they feel better they want better the house is also equipped with a fire alarm a light and a phone charger all of which is powered by a solar panel. like elvis thinks up everything to the last detail in order to give some dignity back to the homeless he even assigns them an address they're obviously not going to be ready you know recognized by the post office are you know are some like that but . it's it's really just psychological you know my my apartment has an address i'm sure your your place has an address that's the ultimate goal most of the people i
1:49 pm
anyone that's homeless is treated like garbage you know once once you have that title you're you're screwed because people look at you like a monster or you know like someone bad or you chose to be there or you're crazy or you know and it's most of the time it's not the case and so the. the little i mean it's so easy to dehumanize people but the little tiny things it's so easy to bring that back to a person. each cabin costs 1000 euros financed entirely by donations collected on the internet but his generous initiative is illegal the mayor of los angeles has banned him from installing his cabins on the sidewalks of the city elvis doesn't care. and this morning he's going to deliver one of them to a homeless couple who very much needed them. hey
1:50 pm
i am out of us i am to stay nice to me cheers there are brownie brownie crystal is 32 years old and his 3 months pregnant she lives on the curb of the sidewalk with her partner andrea $70.00 you would be the love of oh my god oh my god made us i was hoping you were going to be gone that's the month. for 4 years now the couple have been sleeping in this tiny wheeled cart that is swarming with bugs yeah man it's like big bugs in the meat you eat me you eat me alive man i could feed you can everything well you've lived in the morning mostly not being able to have good hygiene. elvis does not feel like hanging around the trick is to get this. get this done and off before the cops show up. but all the same the small. the house weighs 400 kilograms and the wheels remain stuck on the street.
1:51 pm
and. they're going to use a neighbor and another homeless person from the neighborhood come to lend him a helping hand. to get. the people who are home. and start to bring him back out. and as soon as the home is set up other homeless people are begging him for a small house back i have i have a couple more almost ready to go so. thank you thank you so much appreciate it. and that it was that. no evidence. but his project does not quite make everyone happy once you go back in your house enjoy their condition. a neighbor has come to express or discontent she's against this but she says she doesn't want in front of her house she's kind of police and so we need to free alarm and what pray that they're allowed to keep their house. this is how it goes. and los angeles.
1:52 pm
can. thank your luck to both of you congratulations. a few days after filming the police threatened elvis that they would destroy his cabin if he didn't remove it he decided to move it with the couple on to privately owned land. in the end the disgruntled neighbor won her case . but some people are trying to fight the snubbing of the homeless people in fascinating ways. but. we are heading to texas to puritan waco. this city has around 50 church. as for its $120000.00 residents here once a month a religious community organizes a strange program people come from all over the united states to take part in it.
1:53 pm
but you know mary you know the idea of little but what do you know if you look we're going to be home. for 24 hours these high school students are going to live eat and sleep like the homeless. much like 20 or so other participants all from middle class backgrounds each person has paid 60 euros to take part in this project janet darrelle came up with the idea 25 years ago the wife of a minister she's already accepted 30000 people to take part in this astonishing role play challenge the goal is to create compassionate care for him and he and comedy everybody could if they're saying that one year track and poverty cycles of
1:54 pm
poverty and. to get that. far on the cording to janet in order to truly experience the life of a homeless person you have to start by looking like them in this secondhand clothes store the participants are encouraged to dress like them because. i don't know i don't know homeless people pay. for these. yet there's a bunch of. fashion. chains and be a little bit. but i think that. it is not that i can. tell you that i'm happy about that for the moment it's not. demanding but it is going to get more complicated with the 2nd stage sleeping out in the open not in the streets but safely in this fenced yard. however 53 year old mother marta is
1:55 pm
slightly concerned. and scared of. i'm scared of bugs. she thought long and hard before signing up to the program it was her husband who convinced her to take the plunge it doesn't look like a real illness situation right right yes yes just like it does now i guarantee it that rats running everywhere yeah i know it's definitely a luxury. yeah yeah. that is a comfort nevertheless and it won't be a very long night. everyone at 6 o'clock in the morning janet darrelle gives everyone a wakeup call and they don't look particularly well rested my mind martha. it's not
1:56 pm
real on this situation to say they're saving them being on the street but this is not as safe as being in their home with their family so it just gives them a little bit more reality of living in the environment does on your body so by tonight takes about 24 hours to really start getting the idea that. this this could be really rough. for the next stage of the program the participants are let loose in the city center their task is to find something to eat on their own and without any money. you can smell the food. so. jimmy said i asked this guy. here take a look at restaurant. in waco like in many other cities in the united states
1:57 pm
begging is a punishable offense it's also forbidden to rummage through the garbage cans so there's nothing in there. they are owned by the city and reclaiming anything at all is considered stealing in order to survive the homeless in waco are there for forced to break the law our 2 participants are not going to find anything to eat and after 2 hours of walking through the streets in 40 degree heat martha feels faint. she must resort to calling her husband to the rescue. left feel like i feel like i'm too weak like i think you know like i'm too old and fat i can't do it you learn something about. what i would like would be like to be. your age and be hard are americans truly ready to face up to poverty perhaps not their leader donald trump has recently announced that the rate of poverty is falling
1:58 pm
dramatically despite this 40000000 other spello citizens are still suffering its clutches. the simple things workshops and peter's backup public spaces where adults with learning disabilities can engage on equal terms with creative activities like graphics sewing ceramics. cookery and joinery. just giving you shit what's your what. you know what just is what did you give one case a couple of them because. the underlying idea of the workshop is
1:59 pm
a calendar of which they feel thrilled to find joy. to take away then from this. where it's a $2000000000.00 negative net worth a company worth $400000000.00 and they're issuing initial bankruptcy offering fresh deal of stock they take away the news the information the fact is has nothing to do with the car rental company it what it says is that the dollar is collapsing the dollar has entered a high birth place nary a collapse and this causes people to run into things like fictitious stock markets as we've seen in zimbabwe as we see it in venezuela this is what's happening in the united states right now as of today.
2:00 pm
