julie in burnham has spent the past year hosting ukrainian families. today, she spoke to natalii, who has since returned to kyiv with her son. how are things in kyiv at the moment? everything is unpredictable here in ukraine, in kyiv, so you never know what happens. as if to prove it, here is what happened within minutes of the zoom call ending. sirens blaring. sirens warning of shelling in kyiv again. 700 ukrainian families are being hosted in somerset currently, but more are needed. we had more hosts at the beginning than we needed. but that has very much changed, and i think a lot of that is down to the cost of living crisis. if the war carries on as it is going, we are going to really need more support from residents here in somerset. julie had two families staying at once. it is the best thing we have ever done.
i got the best product, but could stand a little more territory. - of teachers, of politicians just make the entire city into the character itself? - you follow drugs, you get drug addicts and drug dealers. but you start to follow the money, and you don t know where the [bleep] it s gonna take you. - the wire broke down systemic racism and the cycle of poverty like no other television show had. - come on. get up. it s a school day. y all are gonna be late. - it wasn t just about, hey, look at these black kids chilling drugs on the street. you were in the apartment with them where they had no parents, where they were taking care of their siblings, where they were trying to scrounge for food. - where s your book bag? - teacher didn t give no homework. - so you start to get a much more realistic three-dimensional picture of what poverty looks like in a city.
