Youre watching, ill just bear with me. So robin and deb hall reminder of our top you stories for lankin supp been celebrating the streets of columba after president got the biology pox. I submitted a letter of resignation. The Speaker Parliament says the letter must be for authenticity. With al fernandez is in colombo with the latest on roger pox. His Resignation Letter it will have to go through a very stringent verification process. Is what the Speakers Office says. That will involve ensuring and making sure that it is what it purports to be. The original resignation document of resident got arbitrage boxer, obviously, a bit earlier in the day we heard that the president had flown from the motives to sing a pull. But here at the protest ground 0, you can probably hear all the sort of speeches and some of the sound from behind. A lot of those features still are sort of reacting to that news alert that the resignation has come. So a lot of a sort of silly brain tree kind of speeches, but by far and large theres no a sort of strict curfew, even though we were told that it was imposed tomorrow morning. So people are going on with things. A one concern is that we were told that outside the president ial secretariat for a few hours has been a number of buses full of military personnel. Im some with right . Yes, some with battens. And thats a bit of a concern as to whether or not they might be deployed in this protest area. A russian and strike has killed at least 23 people in one of ukraines largest cities. Cove and its here many others were injured as missiles hit, residential buildings and businesses. Alan fisher has more from keith, a desperate dash to save a life, pulled from the debris after a Russian Missile strike in the tone of v need. So it was mid morning when 3 explosions ripped through an Office Building and to residential blocks. The area was packed, the number of dead and injured significant president Vladimir Zalinski called it an act of terrorism junior. Could a russian rockets hit our city vinegar . A typical peaceful city. Cruise missiles had civilian buildings, destroyed residential blocks, a medical center. And there is a fire, cause were on fire trams. This is a particular criminal act of russian terror. It cannot be done by humans. There barbarians if the ukrainian claims are correct and what was fired with caliber cruise missiles from a submarine that adds to their allegation, that civilians are being deliberately targeted. Because these messages are known to be incredibly accurate. Rarely string more than 4 meters away from the intended target. The attack came just hours after ukraines foreign minister renewed calls for a special tribunal to investigate, alleged russian war crimes. Speaking to a meeting of europes judicial authorities, the metro caliber says there should be coordination with existing agencies. We have heard a number of reservations since day year 1st floated in the early march. Most of them expressed concern that this effort could replace existing International Courts and fabulous fast weakening them. I want to clearly reiterate, we did not have any such intention. Countries at the ukraine accountability conference agree the investigation into the war could take years. But say its important, any one responsible for any atrocities must be held to account. Russia denies it is committed war crimes during what it calls, special military operations in ukraine. Alan fisher al jazeera heave, the u. S. S. Welcome saudi arabias decision to open its as space to old civilian carriers, including flights to and from israel. Of this comes the head of joe biden, visit to saudi arabia earlier in israel by mon Prime Minister. Yeah, le pete signed a non binding declaration to prevent iran from acquiring nuclear weapons. Italys president has rejected the resignation of Prime Minister body a druggie after one of his Coalition Partners refused to support a government bell truck. He leads a Broad Coalition that has been threatened to crisis by the 5 star movements, refusal to back legislation aimed at tackling the cost of living. Ill be back with more news in half an hour next on al jazeera, its witness to stay with us. I a and my job is to go around the world and investigate different housing issues and to the see how are people ferrying with respect to the right to housing. But maybe you could tell me a bit about how you came to meeting to have around strike with for me personally, i have a most problem. I have the top roach problem. Ive got things that need to be repaired in the building. They withhold services, they run you around in circles, they frustrate you, you get that up. You just want to leave, but were, we can go. But when situation all over toronto is the same way. There is addiction by another name. Yeah. And have you had any response from that cap yet . I guess its rather harassing the bill. Birkhead aside on her, she had a side on her balcony about the red stripe and they threatened her victor. Im giving you this notice because i want to end your tendency. I want you to move out of your rental unit by such and such date reason. I believe that you or someone living with you has committed an illegal act as zix a series critic, ality. Yeah, on my record legal action, guns and drugs is, oh my god, a shame africa with arden arm category there. Yeah. So this was based on the banner. Yeah. You know, were not that melting room or anything just as may 1st rent strike. Yeah. They own 19 bill is in the area and thats their plan for all the buildings just to give people like us. So neighborhoods getting gentrified up, you know, familiar with liberty village. Its moving. Its come right up to king and duffer and, and this is, its only one direction into our neighbor, and were in the way. Ah ah, i only go if youre so nice that or go 11. So that church did you go directly to the chart in the greater toronto area, for example, in the last 30 years, housing prices have increased by 425 percent. Whereas in a similar 30 year period, average Family Income has only grown by a 133 percent. So Something Else is in play and clearly is not the economic fundamentals, as you can see from the above graph. So are you gonna send this or out or what 9 . I would need to check the numbers 1st, but its pretty. I mean that its pretty grim. Ah, i think we are at an incredibly urgent moment. The extent to which where c urban ization collide with stagnant wages and a lack of affordability is unprecedented. So you have like poor people really struggling now like like never before. But then you also have the middle class is unable to afford to live in cities and provide the services that are necessary for a city. I dont want to over use the word crisis, but it suggests a crisis. So then we start asking, wait a 2nd, whos going to live in cities . Who are cities for . Ah, its not Rocket Science enough. What do we think people need to have a dignified life . And its clear that decent Housing Affordable Housing is one of those things. And its supported by international law. Kennedy heights family is just hours away from learning whether or not they can stay in their home or be forced out on the streets. Problem housing is gobbling up more shrinking paychecks. People and 59 out of 102 Countries Worldwide would need to see their yearly income for at least 10 years in order to buy a house in their country. There are 2 histories we might say that intersect today in that space that we call the city and one of them is familiar aisha, which you so what we have for which we have use the term gentrification. When i hear people today saying its gentrification, one reaction and ironic reaction is if only its much deeper. In fact its much more foundational pool. Ah. Okay. So say if the gasoline even though. So then the, the peachcare for apple. I then you the now adults are in the home of an older woman breaker or is being pressured to abandon her home because its in the midst of. 9 the Big New Development here, there was a hospital, its been demolished and it was demolished to make way for condominiums, luxury condominiums, and they dont even own this land. Ive heard that there are many units standing vacant already, luxury condos, and last because no one in both parties so can afford to buy and purchase any of these units. So these, the developments are clearly not for the people about a some. Mm hm. Oh yeah. He moved it in there. Im busy though for me. So it was you dont know if youre right on a saturday, you know, having to leave it only will i. I dont have a photo. I dont, i dont know, but it well this is what i see happening around the world for buying up of land, the displacement of the poorest people and the putting up a luxury in it or not actually for the people who live in the community. I own it based a contact phone no been talking to rectify you does mean yes, i do a demo. If you look at a silly motion to my nightmare, weve had no heat all through april, no hot water all through april. Theres water leaking underneath the st. New owners and taken over, we havent met some, we havent seen them. We dont know anything of it couldnt be frosty the snowman. For all i know theyre trying everything do with not be sent off. I mean that you what, im, what you as i mean actually been, danny, this is where i grew up. And i, you know, ill be hell bent and balance. Im going to make a study. Here we go. All right. Bye. Have a good. Thank you very much. Yeah, its very good. I was way out and maybe not, you know, when you go somewhere boys in notting hill, ive heard about the feel more will have an awe thing. I like about this areas in the community. You know, your frames are all face or colors is one wedge. This is ashley family because even if we dont know each other, we know to her by faith. I was born just 5 minutes from here and in the seventys and eightys and ninetys are seen, whole area change of pop stars and people moving into the area because they light, the vibe to live is really cool. The people seen the world, the film that come out from all around the world. They want to see where the blue doorways it want to see this. That the bookshop, it became very, very trendy places to live. And then the new School Ledger center thats going to attract the wealthy people to come down to the area. And then they stop buying up properties that need to live there. But you know, because this abstract Us Investment for them been put in the bank. So our 1st stop on the highlight tour of london to talk to see properties. These 2 properties are worth perhaps 20000000 pounds each. I believe mister paid something in the region of 40 or 50000000 pounds for it. If you could get a whole one of these, it would be 30 or 40000000 pounds and nobody lives here and nothing is happening to this thing. So its become a dead spot in london. There was, ah news agents, there were pubs, there were a couple of restaurants, but the community itself has evaporated. So we, we puzzle flight 94. If i saw my fly i could not live in kenton shall say. Ill be forced out the area and ill have to actually 40 move out of london. I can stand in the middle of the street with empty car Parking Spaces all around me and no traffic coming. The space is now a bit of a dead, so we have very little indication of who the owners are and a lot of them are completely empty. So you cant go can ask them who they are. Theyre actually just empty all the time. Ah one way of putting it is, this is not at all housing. Ah, that had buildings. They function as asked. You want those houses to be empty and unused because you can play with them. You can reach these dark empty buildings and they are making money. So when people think, oh, poor investor, something went wrong. Hell, know why . My 1st reaction to learning about this phenomenon of vacant dwellings. I was pretty average. I remain outraged in a human rights framework. And through the u. N. System, its very clear who was accountable States States are responsible, they have International Human rights obligations, they sign treaties, and they make commitments to the International Community that they will uphold International Human rights which include the right. Adequate housing. Wow, i know thats a real block or a silly phone call to my door. And then i open the front door as a blanket oh, black smoke. Disclosable. Very common thinking of is a fire. Ah, im with you right now is the beginning of the file. Weve still, we need for 2 and a half hours. Thats the beginning. Thats ah. When i heard about it, i was in canada and watching it unfold through twitter and then i started getting these details. Social housing estate, marginalized community community, sat in a very rich, affluent burrow allegations of poor Housing Conditions from before the fire. Ah, can i see an arm chair come through this month and kind of grant my wife and then another. And that was my come to to kind of grab myself said, how about my dog, my dog . The officer said no, im sorry, were going after go. So just look to my dog. And i this is an amazing my dogs, my lot, my child is a t o b who called Lewis Hamilton the 2nd, but he chose his own name, given the options need, like louis so saw his and then we will off into the darkness. And then on going down and then on treading on things think oh, there must have the water pipes already in the stairwell, but then the realization know i figured people off on treading on, on im bodies on treading on something. Something this is that is in my way, i was actually quite happy when they put, clad in to make it pretty make it look nicest for the surrounding area. And somebody knew that that dirt on the cheek. There were these elements that seem to be a bit of a global phenomenon where you have a kind of vulnerable community, most of the people in rental working, but theyre working poor literally living side by side with incredibly wealthy people. And i credible amount of wealth the tension between the 2 and then watching this fire, it was like a physical representation of the displacement of a community. For me, thats the narrative of the world right now. One of the i heard one of the counselors while the counselor said, if you cant live in no inhaled asia neutral b milledgeville was all about to say several other did you get well go from. So he thought he would have lived there all their lives. I just didnt want to you like that me and this will limit make me sick. You want to why brief is mark well, just disregard them like their rubbish. Like they have that file. It has but it was, i was like, you know, this is the richest all in a bargain. How come out . Oh, you have human rights obligations the and you cant let these investors and the Financial System run amok on its own. I see why human rights, every Single Person has a bunch of rights. And then i have a question for you. And that is a, you are legal scholar on human rights. You just, okay, yes. Her, you have the instrumentality. That is the law. Exactly. Because when i see is those with power board, can they deploy the law in ways that work for their stuff is happening. You know, ah, prices go up in a neighborhood that is fixed. Thats when the everybody understands that part. And then they should understand that at that point, another actor might come into the picture, a monster that nobody can see that nobody really understands whose language is in, comprehend. Who is this to what is happening here . Ah, i dont believe that capitalism itself is she actually problematic is unbridled capitalism in an area that is a human right . Problematic. Yes. And i think thats what differentiates housing as a commodity from gold as the commodity gold is not a human right. Housing is, ah, so common sense the minute wow. Yes them to you. Well, the previous landlord that i think was c a c, d, i think they did put information up. Let that, let us know that the build, the complex is going to be sold. But this is before phil, phil, phil came it, you know, who is fairfield . I dont know who they are from. What im told to pay a bill is a subsidiary of um, is it blackstone . Right, private equity firm . Yes, exactly. They want to raise each each, accommodate the rent up to like 900. 00 each. That is by 900. 00 by not a dollar. And are you going to be able to pay that . I dont know. I mean, i can definitely say next it is, is nowhere. And we have one ago, i dont have a clue. I dont know. Right. And are you mind me asking, are you employed besides . Yeah. And so what percentage of your income would this be 2590 percent 190 asi cool. All right. Yeah. 9090 percent. Do you consider that affordable for you . And i think human rights law hasnt caught up and it worries me that i havent quite yet found the language. How do we describe it in a way that will make sense resonate and really get at that issue. Im still looking. Im looking for that. I feel a little bit desperate about that. So maybe i need to keep talking to the people in the financial field with 1st title find out. I notice when i came here was lisa or a little admitted the opening hours. They show with our tenants that they are willing to, to me from under this is 3 hours or week them on tuesdays. So every time an appointment is vacant, they thought they renovation, whereby they can increase the rents. Wheeler of free, 50 percent. But these are increased, rents have no connection at all to the actual costs. Why this is very, very profitable for them. Ah finance. Surely dish. From the back we only banks. Thats why its a you know, its sell something. We pay money for. Finance is totally different. I always say finer, so something it does not and that means that finance is basically an extract extract finance. Its like mining once it has extracted what it needs, it doesnt care what happens with the rest, hulu, the value of all real estate. That functions as an asset is 217. 00 trillion dollars. Thats more than global g, d, p. Of all the countries in the world of all the economies in the world. Ah, theyre highly kennel flashed extract. Because they come in the shape of extraordinarily complex instruments that nobody whos not in that business can understand it. So complex that we delegate to the experts who are the experts, is the Financial Sector itself.

Members of parliament for the British Conservative Party has completed the 2nd vote on who replaced paris johnson. You case, full of finance minister richie sooner remains the leading candidates. Because of those stories on our website at al serra dot com or news off. Now with me then, but to witness now. So do you stay with us here on al jazeera by you, ill see here and ryan, a call come on being with the largest real estate, private equity firm in the world. Weve got investments and people around the globe. But by keeping our business entrepreneurial, we can move very, very quickly. John gray, i said global head of real estate for blackstone group, which is the Worlds Largest private equity manager. So one of the market you went into was a Single Family homes. And i know you have a big portfolio at 50000 or yes. How do you even find 50000 . Yeah, the buyer. You need a, a Global Financial crisis for that to occur. Youre sitting around in 2011. Youre saying, where is there a large pool of assets that are going to be sold by Financial Institutions at big discounts to underlying replacement costs. And it was pretty obvious. It was Single Family homes would spend 25000. 00 or so fixing him up. And then lets random out and make income producing assets out of them like an apartment business, but just not in one large complex, but if we do it in enough scale, i was just poking around, trying to get my head around some of the stuff around hedge funds and buying app distress, mortgages and all of that. And i went on to the blackstone website i, ive worked with bruce for more than 20 years. Hes an advocate and i think so differently than anyone i know. So basically buy up a whole neighborhood gentrify the whole thing, double or triple the value of the real estate, just because you jumped on for the neighborhood. Of course, everybody also and makes no mention of people really at least at least that by minute. 16 and a half, he hasnt mentioned like the people that would be living in those places. We own Properties Around the globe. We buy these investments on behalf of a Companies Like wax only, or any the big Financial Enterprises were the big winners in the crisis. They were the big winners in the housing market. There was a big winners in the equity markets. It was as if the u. S. Government, rather than helping the homeowners who were losing their homes, actually sided with the banks, encouraged foreclosures to clean up the books, gave the money to hedge funds, hen, and private equity firms who dan bought the, the distressed assets to make money. So it is the way that the 2000 a crisis has played an important row, increasing wealth inequality in the United States and other countries that have been inflicted by the crisis. It doesnt totally work as a statement yet. Let me give you a snapshot of the new world of housing. And while i do so, i urge you to reflect on the images behind me. Just like that. Like i can remember how we did it with the homelessness report. But i remember when i was re reading my statement, i did have that if a pin dropped, we would have heard it in the room. And thats what i need because they know half the time theyre on their blackberries and not paying attention where theyre, i phones, i suppose now ill, i mean homelessness is a bit different to, you know, were seeing images of people. And part of the problem is that when youre describing the stuff is supposed to be shocking, its all cranes and buildings and glass and stuff. And so youre not moved to in the same one. Distinguished delegates. We are living in a new world, a world in which the housing sector has been transformed by Global Corporate financial actors and massive amounts of excess global capital. Global Residential Real Estate is now valued at a 163. 00 trillion dollars. More than twice the worlds total g, d. P. Housing has been financial ised valued as a commodity rather than a human dwelling. What i am suggesting is a significant change away from the commodification of housing in order to retrieve what housing means in terms of Human Dignity and security as a lived experience, as a human right. Thank you. And, and, and, and, and, and i was looking for the new buildings, the newest i, which now called elephant paul, which replaces the high guy state where i used to live with like so many, all of them when you flatten this part of the development sold in hong kong and singapore, when that sold overseas does not necessarily so for people to live in this old is invest wouldnt like to sort of romanticize what it was like before. Right. But it was an ordinary counsel despite all to ordinary families. And it was at this time a day, most of them would be enough to walk and off to school, read to college and so on. Were dealing with a very, its a very particular the elite feel free to violate basic laws. And ah, and then theyre surprised that there is bitterness among the the working classes that have lost an incredible gra, i mean, a lot of ground in our society. So its a tough moment. And following the money, brings up a lot of very substantial reasons. As to why people last angry, they dont know exactly. They dont have the knowledge, but they know that something is not right. My own work was concern about asymmetries of information. The fact that some people know things that other people dont. And that gives some people the ability to take advantage of others arent. You can make more money, not by making a better product and lower in cost of production, which is the standard economic analysis. But by fishing for fools looking for people you can take advantage of or not creating wealth, or actually just taking wealth. If youre somebody like the head of blackstone, ive heard talk about the big advantages of no regulation of deregulation. Course he wants to be able to exploit the people who are living in his properties. Ah left hand corner. Yeah. My flag was then i say bought my flat. So i own that flat unpaid, my more kids. The problem is the price is round here. In o 4 in a ground floor. Any, any flat round here is ex dosma. Yeah. And they wanted to give us like a little bit of money. I say of you go, but then ill have to move out of london. So i decided to, to stay with friends most of the people that lived in that town block a still not been homes. 9 months later, 9 months later, i am now in a hostile, the place that they could offer me could be anywhere in the country. And if i dont accept it, i become intentionally homeless anywhere in the country. Well, yeah, i mean it could be birmingham, it could be manchester anywhere. If you can treat people auster, a tragedy like that. The way theyre treating them now will help as anyone have ah, i always picture myself like im 5 foot to, im from this like nowhere place. And im trying to make a huge difference globally. Im trying to change an entire conversation thats embedded in the way people live all around the world. And then i look back at that girl from ottawa, im sitting in her Basement Office and its like, what am i thinking like, am i is this when calculus . Am i being ridiculous to a, it is a totally dysfunctional system. So in the late 19 seventys 19 eighties, theyre developed and ive called an ideology or religion that merge you solve all problems, but still the big winners will be big loose in the name of the common should the winnings be redistributed to the losers to the end if everybody ends up where he started, it would take on the la fun out of the game. The high priest was built friedman. The big experiment was chilly, underpin oshea, it took their dictator to really implement these ideas. They thought that if we privatized to way regulations, lower taxes, growth would go up, everybody would get more. Some people get a lot more at the top. But putting aside envy, everybody would get a bigger piece of the pie. Ah, it ignored the many instances where markets do not work well. It was so Milton Friedman gave them economic argument for why they should be unconcerned about morality. After a 3rd of a century of this experiment, we know that its wrong that you can make money by destroying the world. And theres something wrong with ah ah, if were going to defend the cities as we know them, i cant do it alone. I decided to create a new movement called the shift so that we can come up with ideas of how to protect our cities. So its not an n g o movement. Its not a movement of just cities. Ah, its a movement. Hopefully, all stake holders, you know, although the dont getting to be launching the shift here in barcelona, where they affect her Financial Aid station have taken hold. And where there is a mayor like out of class, i hired a young woman, julie, who had a background in International Human rights law. These things move them up. One 3rd of deaths worldwide are linked to poverty and inadequate housing. Get yeah. A World Wide Movement to reclaim and realize the fundamental right to housing and bring people far thought of exports here. That if he knows that i feel them are helena. If the quality on gonna be be in the lessons if he got the own, you know, but i see, and there was gram, this got the dallas tacoma waitress this in back. Im in most of us you that. But as i got maxine was when, if you see us i pushed though this pick will are gonna be in the premium if he doesnt look like im, ive been looking at them. Blackstone, the largest private equity firm. They have more power than this. They know, how are you . Yeah, you know exactly. Youre crying when we have some of these pounds trying to speculate them to say they want to buy it a building. You buy it for you, but we do it because we have money and its a lot of me because your family part. Yeah. That, that can be expensive. Im interested to know how the investor is vulture, funds the hedge funds, air b and be, are reacting to what youre doing in bed with the men or next, you know, we, we ludo moments. We had a cbl. Forget not support of a some, some groups acting like authentic my peers right now with you dont get your women children and some of them you are, you can talk about your kids and talk about changing the world one press to another b like so tiny before we got here, and now if i like the mayor bite on i so the question is the big question. Are you out for it . No, i okay. Ah. The big private equity, it has taken me some time to ask the question, where are they getting their money from . Ah, Pension Funds have a huge amount of money and they need to grow in order to make sure that the people who pay in to the pension fund has something to live on at the end of their working life. Mm. I. Mission to south korea was grand. Well, before i had this one piece of information, but some of the largest Pension Funds are right here at the National Pension service is the 3rd Largest Pension Fund in the world. It was one of the poorest countries. And now in the 11th largest economy in the world, in 50 years, thats pretty impressive. But of course, to make that happen in a 50 year period required a kind of brutal ism of massive development. You just wonder how to go with awarded. People dont know how to go with to you too. I always will use, i think will do. Here is a will close. It is a who are new york. What hold on, do you do you do packaging on time . Oh for to go good love on there. Could you wonder how much of a little you dont lose mobile device . Unfortunately, weve got a lot from your door under the pedal tug will go in that. Im repetitive. Oh no one seems to know that thats where their pension money is going. No one seems to really care i did speak with a couple of representatives from the National Pension service and they were pretty matter of fact at 1st about you know what they had, what their job is and i get it. Their job is to grow money for pensioners, we give our money to asset managers, and they then decide sort of where it gets, and best day ended so distancing themselves from it. So in other words, it doesnt really matter where the pension moneys going. As long as its a good return, national and city governments in south korea need to make some major shifts before they will be in full compliance with their human rights obligations. You know, human rights law is very specific about those types of projects. For the vixen under International Human rights is considered a growth violation of human rights. People die enforced evictions and peoples lives are basically ruined. So its not to be taken lightly. Ah ah, worry issues, you know, Climate Change housing. They ought to be betted into the fiduciary frameworks of branching funds. Pension funds are representing people who are going to retire in the you have to ask, how would they feel about this . Would they feel comfortable with ody shares and a company that is that immoral . Ah, ive lived there 38 years. Ive paid my rent for 38 years and theyre supposed to upkeep the building. Theyre supposed to do stuff, but the Management Company as readily admitted, theres been nothing done for 40 years. So wheres all that money of already spent . And now the new Company Wants me to give them more money. Its a familiar story, but yeah, the same situation is the same situation we were dealing with here. So yeah, talk of the media.
