but prisons you know used to use these drugs i can remember reading the deposition of the warden in angola prison in louisiana rural kane. who said that half the population of five thousand was on drugs well it's quite a few people and it's not a good sign for where they're going to go or how they're going to be when they get out and that's not it's not rehabilitation are we is this so much. if you know what i'm talking about. it was it was a very new world some of the drugs that got eventually put into everybody's food and everybody you know and everybody became a happy i mean have we are we stupefied in our culture or or is it pretty much confined to old people and kids that were sick no no i think it's look i think it's because you cut it in no other way this has to do with the relationship of the pharmaceutical industry which makes and stuff in the psychiatrists because you couldn't do one without the other and there was the psychiatrist maybe you know give prescriptions for this and it turns out that the psychiatrists are on the take with the industry so how does he end up being on th

the company imagine one of those prisons i recently interviewed one of the members of the angola three who was actually free and then we have a state like illinois that's another good example a contrast to california and capital punishment there was repealed that state also they said more than sixty eight million dollars in damages to you know the sixteen men who were in exonerated they were wrongly convicted and sentenced to death so when we see these kinds of things happening time is how we get people who were going to go to the electric chair and yet didn't even commit the crime i mean isn't that don't you think that over time at least could be evidence enough to sort of change these patterns. you know i would love to change the attitudes but i'm you know i'm i'm schooling in school of what i see rather than what i hear and. the big banks are now weighing on staff and now the legal did a story is being forced to suffer cutbacks in its income as well if these are the later stages of cannibalism here i wish i had some optimism that this could be changed. jerry brown might be the guy i

angola has become one of the fastest growing economies in the world. that's thanks in part to its oil riches. this the picture of an oil flare, just off the coast there. it's using the oil income to fuel a post-war reconstruction boom. that's pulling in a lot of foreign workers and that, of course, is driving up housing costs. those foreigners might demand food that needs to be imported. we're talking at higher costs there. another xponsive city is the capital of chad in n'djamena. and rounding out the top three, we have to go to sao paulo, brazil. one interesting theme out of this year's mercer survey, there's been a clear jump for australia. five of its major cities all vaulted higher, including sydney and melbourne. they moved up between 10 and 40 notches from last year. >> housing in australia is certainly very expensive. ramy, tell us, what's the top five most expensive cities in the world? you said lowanda is number one. >> tokyo comes in at number two. tokyo held the same ranking last year, number three as i mentioned is the capital of chad. but
