The energy that rises from the ashes and frames to the future generation. And in my name is. Mrs Kay p.f. a Lot. And tonight we'll be talking to a reso who is the director of. Central for the. Space what's called sea space and also we'll be talking to try to see who's. Going to be giving us an update from the situation on the ground stay till. Space and we'll come to the show where you are is so. I did that but their accent and the director that it was a. Partner closely with the strike cut as scintilla to list list let's start with what we're going to be talking about which is the t p s and the mandate that's been coming down through the Department of Homeland Security Tom tell folks what is the t.p.s. And how did it get started. Great well when I'm not said Bay Area Well good evening everyone and I thank you for having us on the show to talk about the important subject which is in line with the ongoing attacks against the immigrant community in the United States by the current government of our federal government with that much of yesterday Department of Homeland Security announced that they will be canceling temporary protective status known as there to p.s. For 2500 and got away with this to have a go at me live then work in the United States for a decade. And in addition to that they also announced that temporary protective status for the Honduran population will only be extended by 6 months this is of course problematic because these are people who have since 1909 benefit from this protection this protection is related to country conditions and there are 3. Bodies that make this decision. One of those is the embassies or the representatives of the countries that with Advocate with the u.s. Government that their national should be protected Department of Homeland Security and then h.s.a. The h.s. So these are 3 groups that come together generally h.s.a. The Aitchison h.s.a. . Come together to decide and they made the decision this time with all of the decisions that have been coming down from the federal government the more recent decision was to terminate Dhaka. We know that this is like pretty much falling in line with this government's agenda and it's unfortunate Currently there are 50057000 winter is some who will continue to you know in a state of limbo. And what the fear that this limbo could end family separation. Of course return to their countries of origin which have been deeply impacted by violence and poverty particularly Center America there are currently 13 countries in the world that have the temporary protective status and there is an estimated 3 $120000.00 plus individuals from all countries combined. That are protected under. The largest population is that other than us 2nd largest this one during And the 3rd largest as. All of those 3 countries combined represent the largest among the population close to 300000 and we know that some of the statistics show that those 3 countries combined and this beneficiaries have an estimated 300300000 children Jonathan the 5000 children Their us born many of them have businesses their home owners and they've been integral parts of our community given their war their contributions and cultural Acis to helping build strong communities all across the United States so we're very disappointment disappointed with this decision but we're not surprised this is consistent with the benefit of m.t.m. I grant agenda that. Donald Trump has been pushing since he started his campaign and he's keeping children its promises so we are as a community continue to organize making show that beneficiaries are informed about their rights and that they know that they should not be afraid even though this extension for underage was announced only be 6 months and the final Well they haven't found the binding extension and said that they were going to extend it by 6 months and then they convene and decide what the fate of sense of authorial looks and then. We're encouraging our comedic go out and get out of the whole consultation. With community based organizations like that at them that are certified there's many of them in the Bay Area in the East Bay and south north and then fences both this go and if not go to a license are certified attorney were warning our community against fraud and to make sure that they're really informed because there are many programs that people may qualify for to adjust their migratory status but they may not know so the only way they'll know is the take longer they go consultation about their specific case total So this you learn to spread your particular hinted at them didn't and then this plan you're looking for won't. Affect them and when I'm not HIV I don't know I am somehow a kid that got into it but then things go yes the most complex and then I'm like they said they can I add on that that is it and the but the menthol is so again I'm still not I don't feel like I said I still want those but I'm about to kill them but I can. Tell me you can handle anything I want to say fundament them in the face out but at the throat I'm. Still there but I must say masses it seems that that mean that Joan the c.f.s. The still must have failed on all but a little now and then I thought I meant this have it all to care for now then you know that they'll knuckle down on us that and they have an idea of their last abode and you might be on long. Said that the sent them were not photogenic us it just sent the maid in Davao us a can this time be and getting even less 11000 meals the schema in this by the benefits that you say I have both in my own mental stand as authentic needle at the since I made a 1000 needles If that some best on that get the ending gag down you mind the stuff the hundreds that buy it will you and the one to see mantle out of the get 7. Because that is the I eat them up question though that. That said that there are some also opened the deck I saw them look yes they will be and all the stand that Donald Trump and I hand if. They get them in this on a 4 week buy and they make it and it's also not a necessity loan money that I think I'm one of those dreamers those that got us a gift I'm comfortable I felt but there was a side in this that by. And then you know better than me so by the time I had. Been embedded Was there will be an autumn of those to still. Get back on a lot of going to make them and to go and I'm not gonna jump. Them With them being it but I'm the only intent they want other than that can The last thing that most me and I'm the guy got behind them or. This guy he's just this some of the then you also know that I went over an official I did that by a fellow it was his sample money study us and sort of believe that is all I know and I'll just say that I wasn't just only seeing them the l.a. Guys so that that but then you get a feel about doing this all over it I think I think what then they came up and up among us that been so damask Well you can get to them but I'm not going to play you that I was. A late add that on the side of the m. I had to get them own up on that but I was just a little naturalistic up but I still thought I'm not I'm doing all understand them and they will file the son of and all of that just within the law and this is on the set that means I don't care if that this hand the. Idea that last ounce lineal the writing style of the it will be an a. Because I don't know who's this the apples to the end of the hose off I mean getting the the apples down to. A c. Is synonymous more system a cylindrical no wrist Dick daughter the goddess in consultancy school some sewed under their temporary protective status to say based on the bundle of chaos my fic taught him which was an asterisk a minute others see the most stinging footmark most most prone to count this just established a single time in an English thing and we will poke is. At the best no less than the stick you know that Kordic they form a seal not the simple core system to say that that. There is very little way to. See that some of them being in something and then upon my x. They know when I know I had in mind that I'll get a I so wouldn't say I guess he was going to consult them to guide sat on the left if it got but I think that will allow He knew that the door of any testimony that I think an even if a man by having that said the same later on that I thought maybe I will not. Get in there now well be well oh we could go down by hole. But that goes both kick you set them perfect I meant the kind if you go by look at em when I get up on one hand the way I I don't want Sunday night I don't own up and down that the law don't knock on wood deck and I stay. Up on my. Concert that I live on the field and identical not the deal much as they are not so my wife and I medical that you know the most I guess so I will go at it and I have such an asshole and then I will be dead and I step on you know where it got it and if this old boy at the head or the head then I am on the phone if I must sound so kind of up but I am acting up at the moment then I'm all in fun How do youse and I and I guess I'm gambling that says it's just a guy that is sending gang the set list in a similar is so you know going back a little bit during Obama's era we saw $60000.00 plus. Kids you know come in with unaccompanied I guess they were called unaccompanied minors that were specifically coming in from London is what the Milan side by lower most of the countries that are on the t.p.s. You know protected list and now we're seeing you know these 60000 kids were running from crime terrorist organizations that were in their communities in the south by the lawyer and basically threatening families out there as well so we see we still see a major criminal you know I think really going on in these countries especially due to the major deportations that Obama had as well. Yes their issue of violence and then America has but again and not in a triangle and that's what the miners. And then a subject of headlines the u.s. And I think of our friends the contextualize that the violence that we're seeing happening in our country is a manifestation of structural issues that they see all of us this or that like what we said is that the violence is the result of our country becoming petri dishes. That's I think that as a result of wars that were funded by the u.s. In the seventies eighties and early ninety's and foreign intervention there are countries that have left. Pretty much you know still in development mode we have extreme poverty I think the naked eye why don't. Want to buy poorest countries in the western hemisphere are concentrated in that region that those countries only have poverty where you know have. Access to health education and because the lack of resources when you don't have living wages and labor protections and that is going to create very good and this and that will but then. They lead to violence and those thing that is the deal is worth noting is that the gangs that are flicking our country in Central America right now where u.s. Made and this is you know this all star in the ninety's and you always take a day as a combination or like a like an implosion of the decades of war in our region of the u.s. Center vention. The system such that the you know those who fled those wars that cane carrying that were sent back to nothing so we already know what happens when you send people back where they have nothing they end up vulnerable at the strays and become susceptible to being victimized and to become victimizers and that's that's in part what we're saying unless you know it's a much deeper subject but I did want to conceptualize and that we have boy repeating some of the u.s. Rhetoric the calling the violence in our country is terrorism because while it's violent deeply impressed on me as affecting our country that's the rhetoric that the u.s. Wants the promote what we should be doing as if they have investing in Wall is an investing in order. You know militarization of our countries we should be investing in and you know education and health and work opportunity the micro enterprise so the u.s. Is spending billions of dollars as we speak today in the region but all of that money being spent on militarization security is not being spent on human development and on the things that would help reduce the violence in our country. So yes it's ironic because while everybody knows that people are being forced to migrate because of the country's conditions on the structural issue this country's deciding at the same time. What they're claiming that they're going to send people back but that we don't we don't think it's feasible we don't think I cannot make we buy a goal or even reasonable that this u.s. Government is going to some massive deportation of $350000.00 plus people. Karami protected by Ted And of course as communities we're going to continue to push back in with this then we're going to continue to advocate for common and you know that sense policies that keep families together and I think the other piece of this narrative that says not just about sending these people back to their countries these people's countries the u.s. . That the best a community again has been here for decades they have children they have businesses they pay taxes so this is their country this is where they're going to stay and sending people back to a country where they have nothing and start a lover this I don't see how that's like how that's common sense and we just we're going to do everything as a community with our allies and not just locally but across the nation to resist that notion and to continue to fight the partitions as we have been even during the Obama administration where I find the partitions every day so we know how to fight deportations. And how to push back what we need to do is get allies in the greater community not just the those impacted by everybody to write letters to call their representatives to demand a lot you know waited and Recreation week for. That's really what we need and some people say well that's not the time that it broke my arm and not good for that but that shouldn't stop us from trying and from pushing from demanding what's just and what's right that's right and at the same time also forcing people here you know from these communities to become criminal criminalized by the fact you know when they decide to stay here all of a sudden Dave become a. Criminalized by that or penalize by it and up enough retro you know Detention Center of Immigration and finally being sent back and not. Yeah and and the thing I got is that I don't think we should be promoting the notion that they're going to we're not like they are I said trying to force immigration with sweeping policies we know that the tensions are real we know that deportations are real We've all heard that story but that doesn't mean that we have to we need to step up stand up and step up and we need those like again recognize that this is not a matter of like going to go home this is their home this is about lifting families up this is about taking people away from everything that they've built and they've done this with a time mission of this country so and this is also true of the back of the dreamers you know this country that promises dreamers and now this country breaking that promise any regard the effect that's having are millions of people because it's not just about the 800000 dreamers it's about their family their community their coworkers or their classmates and the same is true of channels when you combine that this economy was the dreamers and that the community you're talking about enough to Muslims by 5000000 people and when you multiply that by family members they're going to have devastating effects on our community and so it's time for us to stand up we have been to them but we've got it to keep pushing and they get more important to me and the more immediate front making sure that people get access to information that they learn about what possibilities could relieve them in terms of adjustment such that as and that people become really familiar with their rights because regardless of their migratory status means country everyone has quite the tritone you know if folks want to find out more information about that is sin and the resources you can give How can they do that as well. They can visit us at the v.f.w. The that this in Ca are. Like tell a 2nd I got to see a r e z e. And s.s. That or we provide a drop in the Go consultation Monday through Friday from mine to the morning and where are located at the corner of mission and such as Did you want me to say really quickly in Spanish when I said our summer is Version 4 face that I'm going to have numbered them other than by a global test I mean look and looking well I knew I fell in the face a a. Bit of a hint that so many guns are still flushed out on me that the cult I love you lent it up what I said to my old up on them I have to. Be good at governance on that and then the step as. I realize that I will be and I was a says one of many things best you know. Them I took that I'll never be a song from that Anthea then I have a chance that you don't know events I said then thought something the event and then somebody got seen on tap of the thought when you live in a check I am one of the top I say as a about their profession in my field last and I went there hoping to get me until I got some love and if I get up in India I don't have the guts to let a cent on the it if I don't the poor fellow help by a sound then what then and not a gotta get but if so me more and then that they do not so no but plenty that I don't but battle who by using a line and they are not but s. S. But I am I. Think I meant the 2nd act on its own if that. Be and. Beloved and then not to basis one of many young girls a but I they had I my that get me Monica thank them again if I go there some became a 5 with me I had that that was want to look a see on the federal attracted funding it means that they are on the law and the law but them went to. The common enemy embassy as well as back it cannot go on I mean on that some other thing. Did I ask that I well one day when I lay on the bed to nab you some of the through some of this scene No he won the Grammy nominee like a minute that bit one of. A not bless it best on that guest the look and feel I thought of that but there are loads dreamers that those that but then each hold up a message that can uplift of a how do you still be added on to your next step by if there will be any just illness on the chart after all the stuff. Them coming up on the on the up that the Santa is then going after Saddam again then you better me support a book that kind of plays a hotbed of concern I want to but that as a media event that I'm not gentleman and it won't this Dan go and I have a central floaty from the hint. That many is it that I mean I but I must answer this because of the innocent feel lost on economy comment that the absence. Of that that sent them every economic book at some point something out of the c.n.n. You look back on a custom on the West when he was Get thought by thought of the easy way out in the put it on the felony it is I don't know that that was a. Comment of but one thing on the phone rang us has a almost fatal charm the thumb within them all up on the end that's on them to get out that it's enough and that's the hard reality is the best you know you know secondly I buy some of the lowest it gets a homage out a little show at a time in. Order to manifest fun but I'll mail you many that this generally each reamers. Get I meant that way. If I'm a lawyer stay safe and avoid going to spend all. My bad luck in schools you know some of us on a 2nd here. That's right I don't buy that only promotion time in Dakota said I hinted a lamb to that and so I had that whip get a load of those no got it sent that it it in this essay if it only saw it I had got a sinister dark color you had to help you see No I don't want to look just like I did then let me have you ever and let me have a. Nap but then they added I don't know I'm going to have you and this and that and I'm going on a and then I have you on the phone the employer said Get the one that the successful in me that you don't like I tell you I mean next week I'll be my he not I'm the guy in the strong e.f.i.s. Effect Chavis and then they staked on me so I thought that's because the model was in the area then especially on that part that I having to question into the risk before we before we start wrapping up our Can you tell us a little bit about why you got to why you got involved with Curtis and then hire you ended up as a director. And they're asked another question well I'm the guy I went to an Irish so I know like some of the other people a kid from a mix that it's found me or my national bicultural bi racial. Berrien even and I have gone to school of like grip and they got out there in the origin and 80. Games on it that I was at the United States are returned to the United States and I can 89 precisely because of the war. Since then I live in the mission the strictness I just go where I you know of course find a home with a pub out a new nick that I want the center back and make than the immigrant community since 89. It's a long as I have a memory that migrant communities and organizing and the Bay Area being right to protection. When we've had so many victories with us I have some of those but we try to always match the loss with a victory I have always worked with them a group that was making families in my professional career and I was very fortunate to have the opportunity to be hired as a director of Goddess and. Like Home To me it's a place where we don't have to convince anybody about what we're trying to do because we're just trying to get you know roll up our sleeves and response our commanding ways that's what got us and had them for the last 31 years but just a response in the use of the migrant community in San Francisco in the Bay Area I'm very proud I'm very you know honored to work with the people I get to work with every day and more importantly you know we get to say really like the impact of our work because we have our organization serve an average just 6000 people annually of those 5000 plus people come seeking legal services from my mother program much of the Gratian they go program at that as we also have a youth program where we work with just in touch with call 2nd chances program and tattoo removal clinic we have a health promotion program and we have a Family Wellness Program we also do advocacy around juvenile justice so that they know immigrant rights and that they know how and we have a trans national vision because we were founded by refugees by 5 older than about a new refugees and we have always kept our types or countries of origin My mother lives in a cut out of my family living that our my counterparts that assimilate and they see both of those but as their parents also live in some of the if so where Trans National by culture bilingual peoples and so we are Americans and we are from repenting of origin we're proud of that and I think that that may. Unique people in this country because we speak multiple languages we have a global vision of the world and we understand that the things that happen in this country affect other countries in the world I think I am an America most I am very proud and happy to be at a board in thank you for all your good work most time you know really appreciated and you know again if you can just so folks can to give more information on cut isn't and you know if there's a phone number to. Yes So again our website is that it says that or I can find that Facebook also but estimates that our telephone number is 415-642-4400 at the Web best way everybody has to come in 1st or have legal consultations so we don't have most anybody to process seeing. Everything with of a console so please you know our goal and that's on many other organizations something that I don't own the land let us send our men and clothe us the community raised a lot of the street. Habitations we're very fortunate to get in the area where we work where we have a well the nonprofit organization serving the migrant community and then we also have other Titian that are really committed to building cities that are inclusive in their speech for everyone. So we're we're fortunate and we have also a lot we've got a lot of individual donations to help pay profiling phase so if you don't have the resources the pay in you know you qualify for some form of adjustment don't let that stop you come to us on the work with the owner find a way to make sure they take advantage of that opportunity. And finally what would you say to the youth who would be left behind here by you know all these deportations who are u.s. Citizens you know that at some point they are going to turn 20 years old 18 years old and are going to be able to hopefully sponsor their parents and bring them back cannot. Well I think what we need to do is get the youth out and the fans because the slogan that I kissed I'm going on a bomb that you know that I'm working and I just want to remind all of us that the dreamers. Got that not because it was handed to them the dreamers got that because they were brave and they came out and they thought they demand that they organize and they engaged in action that then led to the granting of the doc a program from President Obama to show we need you guys you guys a guy you're pretty you're bicultural you up I lean Well you have a strength that we need such I ask those account for you know that and use just this of any of the other thing amazing more than the dreamers so get connected I have community go out and enjoy your school I know that this goal of the high school universities are all engaging their students so. If in doubt don't doubt and join the community we need you we need our youth is that correct future and if you are not voting a get out there register their vote and help you know make your voice heard because your vote is a vote for you found me and again we have a long struggle ahead and we need all hands on deck and they use our star me the future so please join us if you're not already doing it and if you are thank Jim Keep it going and once again thank you lorissa for all your good work and again we were we are talking with Laura So the director of Goddess in we thank you for everything you do out there and you've been doing for all this time much appreciated. Thank you so my colleagues I wanted to put out a shout shout out like the other read them but they're the ones that are on the front line every day it's fun talking me through what I think of and what I can get out the Kurdistan in a manner. Of their own. Needs I am on an on again Ok I don't know.

All right thank you guys so much oh man I'm not having another year when there's no it is a guess and I look to see is the Moon Yes because just a little strong to see. That one has noticed once again my name is better to use will be right back after this quick music break stay tuned because this is what I saw Chronicles. This is Lisa Marie bringing news for a lotta Chronicle kesa found lead contamination at 7 Oakland elementary schools and in the worst case the levels are 4 times what is allowable under federal health standards according to results posted on the Oakland Unified School District website when you Elementary School which is in a temporary space near the end rainbow border was one of 7 schools where the levels of toxic metals in the water were higher than what that old guidelines allow according to test done by the district the water sample from a kitchen tap at Glenview and levels of lead were 60 parts per 1000000000 while the maximum recommended by federal guidelines is 15 parts per 1000000000 in addition to Glenview the other schools that had lead levels higher than the federal recommendations for Burkhalter walking Miller Brookfield American Indian charter school Trouville elementary and Thornhill Elementary the district 1st found high levels of lead in a water fountain on the football field at McLaren's high school in August the fountain was replaced a new test found that lead levels are no longer a problem the district said that today 48 school sites have been tested the district in East Haven to support utility district will conduct further testing to district officials Jason Pfeiffer will a public health advocate for the consumer group cow purge that any time a school has a positive lead test they should immediately close access to that water tap and notify parents through whatever systems they have set up parents have the right to be aware if there is any lead in the drinking water so they can make decisions about the health of their child like sending them to school with a bottle of water or putting other things into place to reduce lead exposure according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention children's i.q. Ability to pay attention and academic achievement can be affected by even low levels of lead which is why it is critical to prevent lead exposure before it occurs. In a prepared statement released by the district superintendent said that the letter families and staff down by a lack of communication about a proactive testing efforts. The United States on November 2nd Newsweek reported that I think agents started employing a scam like strategy of sending text messages to under command immigrants as early as September saying attorneys and immigration experts The report details more than one instance in which I thought that says had texted an undocumented immigrant to trick them into depreciation meeting 2 attorneys reported that their clients received text messages from my one client in Oregon who was convicted of a Mr meaner called his attorney after receiving a message from an ice agent that he had never met in person the message stated please feel free to call me with any questions that you have the text read I will need to hear from you soon the I think allegedly tried to scare the end document immigrant telling him that President Donald Trump was considering changing immigration procedures and urged him to turn himself in early another immigration lawyer in New Jersey said I had used a similar strategy with her client the attorney stated I thought my client was one in a 1000000 because I had never heard of such a thing I have many concerns about it but it might be just be something new they are dealing they can get a very vulnerable population to make admissions and turn themselves in without legal advice and lastly in San Francisco on November 3rd the San Francisco Police Commission approved the use of Tasers electroshock weapons for the police department an issue has been debated and rejected in the city for 13 years. Following almost 7 hour meeting interrupted by a protest that led to a lockdown a city hall Commission has narrowly passed a measure that the Police Officers Union and several past the chief has long called for but activists and police critics have strongly opposed the San Francisco place commission voted on Friday night whether to equip officers with Taser electroshock weapon standards go place department is one of the last major city forces in the country without the devices in part because of the opposition from community members concerned about the weapons that already and the potential for abuse a few years ago the priest commission revised the department used to force policy could put more of an emphasis on the sanctity of life deploying deescalation tactics and using force as a last resort Chief Scott has said he wants all sworn officers to be equipped with the weapon as part of the commissioners set up the just could not begin using the weapons until December 2018 after the new use of force policy has been place for 2 years many thought that the city budget and legislative analysts estimate for the overall cost the low estimate for a teen in cages was $2800000.00 which includes the cost of the devices as well as off the training the high estimate which is based on equipping all sworn officers with $8000000.00 in one time cost an annual cost of about $750000.00 the analysis did not include the cost of Lakeisha that could come as a result of N.G.'s or deaths because the taser use the officer I'm Lisa Marie with the news and now back to your host the no bull Yes that's right once again my name is belittle to you as you are tuned in to let us know Chronicles and right now we're going to go to but still pretty cool on the ground we've got 1000 from clenched fists productions he's out there checking it out was going on and Good evening I'm anti-gun Eli. I want to hit Thank you so much for calling checking and but I. Want to go ahead and just give us an update 1st of all on what you see down there which was happening around you and what you've been witnessing so far as you've been there. Been I care about a month now and that beautiful thing is that nature is coming back when I 1st came out here that by and you heard from a lot of people have looked like a bomb and blow the lot of the trees didn't have any leaves at all and as we know Mother Nature is strong and she bounces back and I said beautiful thing to say but the horrible thing is that we still see the government tackling the guy we see Sam and not doing their job. And we do see people the Puerto Rican people helping each other out cutting their neighbors out up in the community but really we need machinery. To be able to make the changes that they need most recently today. Teachers about 18 teachers got a rest from the Federation of Teachers because tired of seeing this schools closed and the government has plans to close around $100.00 more schools and so they stood up and said we're not going to have this anymore and they were bested by some Robo Cop looking out on the if you can see in the video. Looking like global cops arresting teachers for nonviolent and it's just a sad state to know that the government. And power is more worried about the debt and about Cane off the loan sharks and then people's help in rebuilding this country so that people can have a normal life. So that's what we see over and over again. And it could be here with people I'm a Puerto Rican from but that the Bay Area and to be here with my people and help like that I can feel like I want to thank the Bay Area for their continued support . And well well then that's together and speaking of you know that right there we see that right here and what's going down is that temporary protective status is actually being taken away. Being sent to devastated areas as well back to you know importing months or so but the reality is that Donald Trump didn't know Puerto Rican swear u.s. Citizens and unfortunately you guys have not gotten the help that the u.s. Would give Florida or has given Texas now you know and the excuse he used to say it's an island right which would make it easier to get more help Frank. And yeah and you know the colonial laws that apply like. Shit or any country that wants. Or needs current. Us in Suba have entered so I learned other countries church down regarding area we started during picturing that and and then different areas. Search the world the still functioning in that way that's right and you know but basically it comes down to the fact that I think that because Puerto Rican speak Spanish was the fact you know he really didn't recognize Puerto Rico as the u.s. State you know. U.s. Territory yes. And so tell us a little bit about what is the situation with food what is deciduous in with water right now and how are people you know handling does types of crisis is cause as we know if there's no food growing international markets opened there's no work you know there's really literally no movement of. Goods as well right. And so I mean the sad part is that our record has been taken out. From the beginning occurring on the. Whole idea was to make it dependent and to support big u.s. Economy and so you have more 'd Wal-Mart's per square footage than anywhere else in the world and that's hard to wrap your head around. So what are people doing for food and water and so that's what I'm saying they're going to ask for. Them Is it parents out there on the like at home because that's what Bella both. That there are still areas that are cut off and that we're hoping that Besharam family machinery has paid his head down and it continues to rain I was and I'd say but yesterday and I was saddle a big rain came and and the house that I was at a truck pulled up 'd and like a mini. Jeff and the chutzpa stepped in the truck the one out there to the house and they had tarps up. But the tarp Peca like too much water so the back that broke and the living room and you know that little back that people have left after all that this is about to get destroyed so I was able to I taught them about siphoning the whole 7. Love me from least enough water that to push out the rest. It's a continuous struggle and waters and those air yes that are cut off hard to come by and the rest of the island is coming back little by little if you're in the metro area a lot of people think that these are things are coming back to Mom all. Dissent counts are getting there and that should take that little by little but it's certainly about the countryside those 10 affected most and think that all and they continue to lie to the people saying that on me they started off with 16 people have died now it's all heard 900 that are being cremated put out even happy to say that it's a lie that that was then you know can you tell us a little bit about that because you're also documentarian you work with synch pitched since Fisk productions tell us a little bit about you know are you going to be bringing some of the documentation that you're also might be collecting her.
