Because found on city streets around the world often ignored sometimes helped frequently moved on but always poking the charity of others so how do different cultures respond to that please out zero correspondent of the phillips went to find out. They all the poorest of the poor and you could find them all over the world in the wealthiest parts of the west and in asias poorest slums im on a journey through the developed and developing whiles to see how very Different Countries cope with those of the bottom of society to be helped them to be ignore them too we simply despise them ive come to manila in the philippines and like many cities in asia its growing fast but it is a place of stunning contrasts shacks and new rising taleb looks but there is one way in which these two wells rich and poor meet and that is through the most simple Economic Activity of all banking. In manila nobody is true young today. A small boy learning to survive in a big city. J. C. Five years old is looking for his two older brothers he has no idea where he can find a Street Corner where the traffic slows down fleeting contact between rich and poor a place of opportunity. Neal john is the Middle Brother at seven years old hes a seasoned bag of. Milk on tell me where do you bake exactly how. And do you try and look for certain kinds of cars are they good cars they give more money or yeah. Apple. Is nothing if. Not oh yeah well now i cant say anything nailed down on you just not on the window not on. The sample. Up front. If. I know they need me. Here. Every day off to school the three brothers and their friends beg for money that mofo judith watches all the kids come out taking the streets what are you worried about. Now i know the second stop on the us and. Not one man in an open line of. Judith lives nearby in an illegal session so this is home yes how many hours do your children bake over to scream out only that one means and they dont get on us. More the. Nine. On that the young set out in an i pad. Make us feel i dont know doing this. As im really not. Mad at a nap was having someone you know in montana. I felt guessing. That i myself one but not an ass in the media. Summed it all. Weighed in on. Me began not one. Month among. At least these children half their mother no matter how tough the lives they have a home love and support. Thousands of children in manila have no powers to care for them they survive in gangs however they can often its easier to just escape reality. You do know the streets you work they play you the way they do john says she just told them to and have been neglecting her the beautiful and most of them i beg you here. This is butch he grew up on the streets he lived. A life of crime becky now in his early fiftys is dedicated to helping these kids of the one of the street found here by ok im going to give you some training but she used to work for an ngo but got fed up with the bureaucracy he feels he can do more good working directly on the streets he hands out clothes medicine and tips for survival to get lying you know that little boy this kid i think that he or any of them on going to meet these people. In the speech to. The president is keeping the streets because of friends also. And i think its high its all been. You probably going to work up before lunchtime and going to bed in the book. And then. Sixteen year old jamie lynn and jose are two of the kids that looks out for. Baking is supposedly illegal in the philippines but these two boys like to think of themselves as performers brightening the day of manilas long suffering commuters riding the cheek. To nothing. In this market on a good day the two boys might make five dollars between them. If they let me down. Never found them in the alley believe boss it was the number one. Like it was in the london games and this one of them had nothing in it. They ride the cheap these across the city and yet there are parts of manila that will always be out of bounds today me live and jose. Is this the real man. Absolutely not i think this space near the Stock Exchange really represents the kind of inequality present in manila. The relationship between rich and poor in the philippines we were here on a weeknight for example youll see a lot of millennial is here working around Financial Centers with purchasing power able to get a Starbucks Coffee right there but then you move a few kilometers away from here then you can really see kids begging who probably dont even have a shot at finishing high school with. Families who have their own social bonds and especially when you think about the kind of life they have industry its not just about purity bagging a lot of these children live off the streets and they contribute to the epicenter of an urban society like many other kids watch for your car and make sure no one robs your tires so in a way theres this symbiotic relationship between urban dwellers and street children. This relationship can usually be seen here probably not of manila bay its a popular tourist spot so an ideal place to bake except that something has changed here in the past few days its strangely empty. My visit to manila coincided with the summit of World Leaders this mega city went into lockdown and not for the first time an event that shone a spotlight on the city spur. Into action. So. There could be. Walking around here. Because this is the main. Street in the street. In this. Rescue. Or would you. The fear of being picked up by the authorities spread through the streets judy if children are on the alert as the Police Approach they fear around the corner. Nine year old is judiths oldest child. Like that. In the. Morning. And. Then in the midst of. The governments d. S. W. Department of social welfare and development is responsible for helping the poorest people of the philippines its also played by Human Rights Watch for helping to organize what it called the cynical cleanup of manila before the summit first of all that is really sorry to say this. Because we have registered four thousand four hundred fifty homeless street families into the program that cannot be done in months not even in three months weve been doing this instead it is true that the energy to do something more in a coordinated in a collaborative way gets fired when their. President obama the government should care about its own people the government should care about its own people and we have very good programs that have shown a lessening of children in conflict with the law and no children begging in their streets. Many of the people rescued from the streets by the d. S. W. The police are brought here to the jose for velo Reception Center this is one of a handful of such centers in manila intended to provide temporary accommodation for street people it has a bed capacity of two hundred twenty two when we visit there are five. Hundred sixty five people sleeping here. And there still another has given me any no clue guzzle tunnel flooded the middle you know. The fish are not valued on how. To live i dont. Believe the need a leg a paddle now and now i look like you. Are. And. Now nobody will be. The center is divided into wards for women families single men and the mentally ill some of them a locked up for their own safety we were told and this includes children. Is it right to put children in this place was. It doesnt seem a very good way to make children better for them to be not to hear. Their i go too far. But we didnt think it might be able to pay for that then they tell us all they never did think that it was the kids. And to tell you its a given when we did a little city children im not normally here because. It was difficult to talk openly to people in the center but several told us they prefer to be out on the street memo miles and miles on the sum up with the school done big way down some. You know need to make that m. M. In the b. B. Gun battle as i see you. On the gun battle make good on the clowns and. Feel foresees didnt catch judiths family im with the summits over mcmillan life returns to normal children out on the streets begging to survive there is money in this city put it. Its mostly in the hands of a privileged few with inadequate resources to lift everyone out of poverty the government looks the other way as people fend for themselves. Six thousand miles away in sweden on a bitterly cold day its a different story here no ones breaking the law by breaking some beggars even drive cars its nine am and a friend is taking catalan to what he hopes will be a lucrative pitch hes travelled across the continent to be here originally from remain year now he asked for cash in one of europes richest countries. This year. Will be a good list of witnesses we hope will be to give you hope the ability to transfer a little bit maybe. Ive come here because unlike the philippines there are funds in sweden to help the poorest in society its famous for its generous welfare system but despite that safety net the raw many beggars here too in cities across the country and they get a mixed reception its a problem because its not. A view of the street we are used to seeing and that certainly is something common swedish thing either and its its difficult because its putting all of its people in a difficult situation yes its sad to see the beggars but i can theyre just so common nowadays to just walk by and think about this match its ok to give money to somebody who is disabled dont have arm or something ok this guy cannot work and stuff but when you when you see a grown person who is. Capable for work. Work your money matters. To people here maybe a little. Its been a profitable day for katalin and hes heading home. For now thats the squatter camps on the outskirts of malmo in southern sweden. The people here are a dispersed ethnic group with roots in central in eastern europe. Hundred sixty of them on this site living in shacks in caravans some came in search of work but the majority look for handouts on the streets. Seem. To reno was begging on the streets in italy but sweden Strong Economy north. So no more. Really can be needed. To give my family and give more what. You. Cannot leave me like you have the end of the employee house. And you. Ever get any discount if you know because i didnt have money for me to continue if you and their company you and now im going to leave but i dont have any. Genius children. Being cared for by her inlaws while she begs on the streets of melbourne my will just make it into the nothing guess. Some Something Else i look for. And the cause and i see. The nation held. Mind you then. I am just thinking am. I came to nothing and i cant be a. I just be down i dont look in. Their family they have a shape. They live in. Roma beggars in europe are often accused of belonging to organized criminal gangs i wanted to know if this was the case with gina are you part of an organized gang. Now we dont tell anybody do you have to give any part of the money. To somebody in the Roman Community you keep yourself yes no mania kaante he cant help but home. Why because we dont tell all the school and if we want to go to break it maybe you make one corny and so they can support the right to be then we go all of them out and it would be a game now yeah but for gina and others who fled poverty to come here recent events have made life more difficult its not just the rober who are the new arrivals in malmo its also an entry point for the huge numbers of Syrian Refugees coming into suite and those are the people who the city authorities are really focused on. Most train station full of exhausted syrians and afghans relative to the size of its population sweden is taking more refugees than almost any other country in europe and this is affecting attitudes towards the roma because yes we are becoming less tolerant of let me hear concept aerated from the whole refugee situation in peoples minds these two issues are blending together although the robot immigrants are fleeing. Poverty discrimination is people like syrian refugee self its two Different Things but in peoples minds it becomes just strange is it feeds into the self of course this is an explosive situation and it needs to be dealt with somehow. In my elbow the authorities have decided that the squatters have to go. This is really. Like a protestant. Dont touch my home. We put in all the house of. The city council has issued an eviction notice i think from family four oclock out here the people of. The pollutants because it is very dangerous for them to leave like yours but to these people even in the street. It can be better to live in the street than. Something to make food and sleep. I head to the capital stalker i want to put catalans question to the head of a Government Task force responsible for dealing with roma from other e. U. Countries it would be impossible for sweden to offer entire world for a system here to everyone who is poor and in europe so therefore the solution the long Term Solution must be for their own countries these people have to survive but effectively youre saying they cant do that here in sweden they have to leave if all they can do is now they are allowed to stay and we wont have. Banking i think its bad idea but if you come to sweden you must find for legal way of living you cannot. Make settlement in parks and private property swedish law must be. Powell. And the bro in the camp try to contest the eviction notice with out success now they have to decide what to do. Just. Go with it and not. Just about a conduct of the year or two you may know from up when you. Very much just thats no no. No no they dont know about going to have to. Fix the shed yule day of the addiction. As the wait for the police to arrive there joined by swedish supporters. That something now most want to see the roma moved on i think it is big problem for sweden the people can live that way. Go back to their guns but not this way i sometimes. Dont. You know but often do you feel you feel how do you play no amount of boy ever held up fairly and can account for how. Close a mother doesnt know thinking of until the most youre going but not. The deadline passes with no sign of the police. The roma and their supporters celebrate long into the night they think theyve won a reprieve but even if they do manage to stay in this camp the political voices raised against them are growing louder. These swedens Parliament Buildings not come here to meet a member of parliament whose party is trying to make banking illegal. When we were scale of begging and when we have this kind of begging where you citizens come to sweden thats a lot of problems. The swedish democratic is a nationalist party is growing in popularity that wants to stop Free Movement within the e. U. We have to make something on the legislation against begging is something that. More european country has been doing and it has worked well for them and were looking at those examples and we want to see them as we and as well so we have to make your voice heard especially when we have our government not doing anything and in the meantime its just tough luck for these people who are begging here but well theres a tough luck for many people in the world but this is the situation we have to handle. Two nights later back in malveaux the police finally turn off but the roma can its four am in the morning. Swedish activists are removed first pulls out one by water until only a few dozen roma remain. By daybreak the bulldozers have moved in and the hemmed in robots are released but they arent going quietly. Little bit the dust is that their beloved good night all of the one on the other shelter from the no zero debt in the world and young lady that is the dump. The crowd demands an ordinance with the citys head of social welfare caribbean nilson. As it becomes increasingly insistent she appears that shes in no mood to compromise is all that t. D. Cannot feed and only be in there for more fun at that from the t. V. But then at the end youre going to have a craving spirit. But a few nights in a temporary hostel before being sent back to romania is not what the robots are looking for they bed down for the night and the standoff continues over the days that followed. The benchley the police move in once again. So they were kicked out of their camp there. Protest outside the town hall was pushed back it was just a few dozen people here left under the bridge some people now say they might go back to remain others saying theyll go elsewhere in sweden a few saying that theyll stay here and fight. Later that evening as some accept the governments offer of a free bus ride home and others stay and put a brave face on their plight i was struck by the paradox of the heart of my own journey in the philippines baking is illegal but tolerated through necessity here in sweden its legal but only grudgingly accepted. Two different responses to people who for whatever reason feel a need to ask others for charity underlying them both is a growing gap between the worlds rich and poor well we can last. We can move them on but bankers will always be with us. Business updates. Business updates
