Property developer as a driving up the costs from dublin art scene reports right at the site has been marked down here. Like there before the location which is ideal for the modern workers these people are protesting outside the office of private Equity Company or to use their phrase a vulture fund these financial organizations buy property and evicted tenants who then say theyre threatened with homelessness cutting a ribbon to celebrate sleeping in a tent is better a metaphor as you can possibly imagine its generally gentrification of mass addictions where people are being forced out because not all middle income earners would be forced out of the city because they cant afford to live a tremendous city because of of loopholes and registration which which facilitate these growth we dont pay any tax in our own right for income i met extract massive profits in the face of these individuals behind these are companies but the end of the road is the Irish Parliament where a quarter of government ministers are themselves landlords politicians sympathetic to the rinses say they can get nowhere with legislation to protect the poor and we think given the very high proportion of landlords of the 2 major parties before the game they showed excused themselves from follow on issues where it is a conflict of interest i dont believe that lyme lords are going to pass along which impact on their ability to make money from property. This housing crisis is a reflection of dublins entire Business Model which is to entice tech giants like Facebook Google and the rest on the promise that island is a tax haven the rental market is designed entirely around their needs not those of irish workers the bottom line is the campaigners say that the economics of dublins Housing Market have created a sort of social apartheid in which property becomes only the preserve of the. Which you buy and then rents either to wealthy outsiders or foreign sorest some short term lets and gradually dublins working poor become priced out of their own city demand outstripping supply means renting one of these tiny cottages in dublin would set you back nearly 2000. 00 a month peters lived in one for 13 years his landlady wants him to leave and hes facing spending 2 thirds of everything here on rent somewhere else for normal work you know 607080 percent what peoples here is and yet its been one year one of unions doing what you do that if you have space if youre dispensing lives and you know income on rent could you put a little more you know you couldnt afford to live in their own biases so if you want to do those university you have to move down the country you know you have to move to cheaper areas like and so as alan tried to draw Foreign Workers in so the housing crisis balloons in the decade since the banking crash in irelands last housing crisis little was done to build new Affordable Homes for irish workers while the multinationals smell tax breaks and there isnt much sign things will improve anytime soon Lawrence Lee Al Jazeera dublin.

Witness the women of i sell. On aljazeera. A rare show of dissent antigovernment protests break out in egypt for the 2nd night in a row. Hello im Maryam Namazie and london youre with aljazeera also coming up. Hong kong police fired tear gas to Disperse Protesters mocking the brutal attack at a subway station 2 months ago. Saudi arabia says it will wait for the results of an investigation into the into the attacks on its Oil Facilities before taking action also. We young people are unstoppable fresh from the biggest climb of protest in history young activists take their course of action to the united nations. And we begin with breaking news out of egypt this hour where antigovernment protesters have taken to the streets for a 2nd night in a row they are demanding the resignation of president abdel fatah sisi over corruption allegations these are some of the latest pictures of rallies taking place in suez have also been demonstrations unfolding in giza aljazeera understands at least one person has been killed in the unrest since friday video on social media appears to show several people being arrested for Human Rights Watch is calling for the Immediate Release of those who were detained meanwhile the form a Government Contractor whose videos about corruption in egypt helspont these protests as now posted a new message on social media mohammed ali is calling on Egyptian Security forces to remove president sisi from power by next friday or he says millions will take to the streets. Im still waiting for a response from the defense minister and Security Forces saying the c. C. Is out he is no longer fit for this mix friday is his ultimatum im waiting for that decision and the next step is a multi 1000000 man march we started in our local streets the next priority we would take to the major square as some well lets get more on the story now from jamal michel who joins us live from doha and jamal last night we were seeing some people gathering for protest in the capital cairo and also in other cities like alexandria tonight were seeing some numbers also gathering in sue is and we were also mentioning giza that just tell us about how tonight compares to the 1st night. Well this is the next level of movement that is quickly unraveling across egypt how fully it will develop into something bigger were going to see hour by hour people are monitoring this but the developments in suez are extremely significant because whilst maybe a lot of the general public across the world may not be too familiar with us as much as they are maybe cairo or egypts 2nd city of alexandria so as is significantly important because of its demographic makeup in the sense that a lot of people there are either working class or have. A lot more at stake in terms of how badly things get for them day to day because of the Economic Situation in egypt but also because of the historical significance of suez with its trade unions with it being one of those cities that has constantly mobilized to either resist things that its sold to be against the will of the people so whether it was during the time of so thats what youve been mubarak if we go back to the 2011 uprising the 1st 2 people who were killed in that uprising were killed in suez the most violent protests that took place and violent because of the crackdown by the Security Forces not by the protesters at the time was also in sewer so the fact that this has escalated there and theyre almost identical pictures i remember being there on john with the 26th 2011 with the center of suez and a lot of mine streets where protesters were were on one side and we had these Police Cordons and formations on the other side but the fact that there was this relentless wave upon wave of people trying to overcome those Security Forces and it took them 2 to 3 days before they were able to finally push them off the streets that in itself is for those drawing comparisons and while there are some comparisons with 2000 levon there obviously a lot of the unique things about 2009 but for those drawn comparisons the scenes were seeing out of suez are. Very very similar. Indeed and i suppose that hast has to also be some element of caution when looking back at 2011 and although right now is very interesting what you say about su is having this history of mobilization and trade union action you are saying that you had spent some time there what were your impressions of. Living conditions of you know the sort of situation that many people find themselves in. Well the irony of it in 2019 and this is something thats mohammed ali the former army tractor spoke about was if anything for the. Crown drool so to speak that he claims about as a major achievement was the opening up of or the expansion of the suez canal right this was canal being a lifeline for once was a lifetime for the egyptian economy by it being able to exert taxes on maritime traffic that would go through the canal and therefore it was a good source of income for for foreign currency to it so if anything if other for the you was truthful about his success as a president the last people to rise up against him should be those of us because they would be the 1st to reap the rewards of this major achievement but the fact that they are the 1st to protest against them and those who are continuing to protest against them despite the crackdown despite the images weve seen unravel in the past hour or 2 hours of police and Security Forces firing some sort of munition not just tear gas on the protesters that is an example and a clear as indication as you can get that the discontent being expressed by the people across egypt but in particular areas that are different claims to have been able to be a source of success in them that this discontent is very much real and definitely has the potential to expand as you say obviously there is an element of caution that people are wary about the reason elements amongst egyptians where they would like to wish things into reality and therefore we have to kind of stand back in assess every development in its own context are not necessarily draw those parallels with 2011 but when we look at at least the facts and the facts speak for themselves in the sense of you know the massive amounts of money that was spent on the suez canal with 0 return the fact that the expansion of the suez canal happened. Asked for the average egyptian 2 dont meet into an open bank account so people were paying with their own money into this account with the promise that they would get returns but 0 has been given back the fact that poverty is at its worst there has been in modern egyptian history that the option currency is that the lowest its ever been all of those facts are loud enough to make us understand that that this contentment felt amongst a crosssection of Egyptian Society is coming to the forefront where there will be able to carry through to form into a movement for change obviously that requires sustainability momentum and stamina and will be wanted to ring as it develops hour by hour and day by day right now thanks very much to share. All of that and more scenes of violence in hong kong weapon leeson protest as a clash during the latest antigovernment rallies riot police 510. 00 gas the crowds gathered on the streets and inside a mall and metro station have also been reports of demonstrators tearing petrol bombs and stones at police earlier in the day thousands of people march towards government buildings calling for the resignation of the chief executive kerry land and said he has been paralyzed by 4 months of antigovernment demonstrations which began in june over a proposed extradition will scott rigell has more now from hong kong. I. This is the 16th and weekend of protests here i was in a mall i j c c when it starts raining 6 the reason the protesters are here was some months ago a gang dressed in the right spots beat up protesters after they held in advance of that is something thats really been a rallying cry for the protests and see about why theyre here tonight. The protesters are here because and our station was long stacey was shot down by the police now they were supposed to be here are 7 pm at night theyre a little bit delayed because theyre holding another protest they empty our station earlier that protesters actually are by the government but they ran a little bit late past the 5 year mark it was a bit of a confrontation between the police and the protesters but they would all right here to the mall. Earlier in the day probating supporters carried out what they said was a cleanup they went out to the living walls these are places that have been dubbed this sucks because this is where protesters went out and put out antigovernment anti trying of banners and notes on the wall the probating supporters went out to clean it up the protesters say that theyre going to continue with their operations this weekend on sunday theyre going to head out of Hong Kong International airport there they say they want again that make an attempt to disrupt the trial. There saudi arabia is saying it will wait until the investigation into last weeks drone strikes on 2 of its Oil Facilities is complete before taking appropriate action saudis minister of state for Foreign Affairs says un investigators will prove that the attack on iran co came from the north and not from yemen riyadh has rejected a claim by yemens whos the rebels that they carried out the strikes on the oil plants and says it holds iran accountable practically in the bush to my limits to my duty to mislead or to be able the International Community has a huge responsibility to put an end to runs aggressive and illicit policies and practices that undermine the region if not the whole world these acts are in violation of the International Laws and International Customs must prove its not a barbarian country is a state if so it should respect the sovereignty of other states free from supporting terrorism in refrain from exporting weapons to terrorist militias in the region that are used against civilians the us said big has more now from terror on. So you arabia repeated the allegations accusing iran of behind being behind those attacks accusing iran of funding terrorist organizations but also be appealing to the International Community and trying to get opposition to iran the language is very much that iran has broken International Law that this attack on irans actions could affect oil supplies to the rest of the world and theyre trying to tell the world that they need to get on board with what the United States and saudi arabia want to censure the more sanctions more pressure on iran but from the iranian perspective they will see this as. Still able to prove where those drones and missiles came from so its hard to read this as that the investigation is still ongoing and they would release those findings but the United States has put sanctions further sanctions on iran and Iran Central Bank now the foreign minister jihads reasons for that he said that this shows the desperation because of the maximum Pressure Campaign isnt working for the United States he also said that they are people that fear that the United States will return to negotiations and they want to drag the United States into a war so from iran spur specked if theyre watching this is this briefing and its still very much the same accusations leveled against iran but very little evidence at this point in time. A day after leading whats been called the biggest climate protest in history young activists have taken that calls for radical action to a youth Climate Summit at the u. N.
