a raid by israeli soldiers. oh, wow. and people in shanghai are seen the yelling and chanting at officials, enforcing a cove at 19 lockdown. ah, all right, let's bring you the latest lines coming out of pakistan where the national assembly has confirmed shabbat sharif as the country's new prime minister. sheriff succeeds iran con your recall of course, that he was ousted in that rather dramatic no confidence vote over the weekend. more than a 100 empties of cons, pakistan to hickey and south party while they decided to resign at, in protest against his ousting. tens of thousands also rallied in support of con, on sunday night salvage value is in the sum of i saw. so a sam up pakistan has a new prime minister now. right? absolutely hibachi ready for is now the 23rd, the prime minister of pakistan. the official announcement is to be made momentarily as votes have been cast, and this was a done deal when the up above opposition party. now, back a thought there you can stop him, run cons, party decided that they are going to boy caught this vote. so now there is no opposition to the election of shabazz surety for with now the new prime minister pakistan. we have to see how many votes have been cast in his favor as the assembly is. session is under way the results have been compiled and they've been presented to the speaker. and he's asked all our members of the parliament to come back inside the assembly. so it's been a dramatic day in a dramatic week of events where you've seen a vote of no confidence against him. ron hahn, the speaker striking it down the court coming into action, calling it unconstitutional and illegal. and then the assembly is being reinstated, refer dissolved by the president and find the v a vote of confidence taking faith and wine. all of this was happening, m ron hahn's party, decided that they are going do not just boy caught the vote, but they are going to resign from the assemblies more than a $140.00 and be expected to design from the national assembly. those resignations have been circulated on social media, but they have not reached the speakers chambers yet. i'm to the former that he will take face, but eminent hands party insisting that they do not want to be part of what they call and imported, set up alluding to what it has been stating all along that this is an international conspiracy. this is a foreign back to the government and he does not want to be part of it. it is interesting that iran also said that he's going to fight at ease at politician in the family, but now have decided that he is now to take to the streets and try and force and early election. and the sam, a judging by the street protests we've seen so far, does it look like this? might not be the end of this political dest you, but rather just the beginning. absolutely, this is the amount you have to remember is a popular politician here. his party did have the majority when the been before the audition came together and what the numbers and because of the performance of iran con in the last 3 and a half years, many was foolish and thought this felt that they, they were not being given enough they were not being treated equally, and he was failing to deliver those promises. and they said that's why they changed sides to where the opposition in runtime saying that their votes were bought. there was a lot of money involved. but now it seems that focus on has a new steward in place. now this 23rd 5 minutes are focused on shop shop is going to be facing down a number of challenges, not just political uncertainty, but great challenges to the economy as well. by phone is sales and talks with the international monetary fund for next punch to try and build out its economy. there is some stability in the park to be versus the us dollar. but there are it concerns . there has been an obvious each. the biggest concern that people have is rising inflation, which has been spiraling in the last few years. but troubleshooting for somebody who's seen in focus on someone who has a can do attitude and have a track record of delivering. when the situation got tough, especially in buckets on the biggest problem and job known and focused on as an administrator, who gets things done at the age of 70, shall, should. he was the joint leader of the opposition that toppled him non hahn in a no confidence spoke. should have entered politics and then led pakistan's most populous province and major infrastructure projects. in his home town hall, he successfully brought an investment from china and turkey. he's also had good relations with the u. s. analysts say he will need to mend fences after the outgoing prime minister accused his opponents of being politically manipulated by washington shabbos. as the younger brother of former prime minister them, i sharif, who was dismissed following allegations of corruption. he's fitting a money laundering case and corruption charges brought by the federal investigation agency and the national accountability bureau. boats. by the say, the allegations leveled under him run hands, premier ship were politically motivated and in 2007 should have criticized the accountability bureau investigating him in nap, which is an illusion of controversy. sure. if it went to a hitler's the estoppel national account, we do bill which that selective accounting, accountability and other opposition politicians also accused of being a tool used for political which hunts in subsequent years in power. then wisdom, the government left the bureau and changed out of all politicians shabba should have is widely considered to be the most acceptable to them in a stablish mind. and those who came together to topple in my hands. government hoping that the army will maintain what it calls its neutral status. even if shabba surely remains the prime minister until election next year, will still not become a prime minister who completes a 5 year term and a son. as none have done in the country 75 year history, some of the job done to 0. his love about the now french president, emmanuel, my call is back on the campaign trail. this time in the northern city of den, an he's looking for extra votes before run off against far right challenger maddie le pen. my call is calling for a broad coalition of support after winning sundays, 1st round, saying the next 2 weeks will be decisive for france. the runoff is a repeat of the 2017 2nd round vote that mack wrong one. the easily of polling suggest a much tighter race this time. well, here's what some paris vs had been sang the morning after the election. you must a dash, 2 dash democracy became a young man. it was a relief for me to see that a manual math chrome was making it to the 2nd round because he's the only candidate who's able to do something in our country. and i was extremely concerned by the rise of the far right and far left. so 5 more years of micron. yes. be the next to him to lead to a signal to far right in the 2nd round is never good news and we must always keep in mind that we have to fight it. never let go. the far right will not give us our purchasing power back the far right is not the one that will help us all live together. the far right is not the one that will bring the french people together. it is a love that we must absolutely fight. according to joseph basil, at all de zimmer, my feeling is that the 1st round is over. we waiting impatiently for the 2nd one. and i hope that the campaign between the 2 rounds will be a bit more constructive and intelligent than the one before. there was no campaign during this 1st route because of the pandemic and the war in ukraine. there was no constructive debate on anything whatsoever. julia faith, copper, bernard smith has more from paris. now. i think we can expect 2 weeks of intensive campaigning. you'll see that particularly from emanuel micron, only that one rally before the election on sunday. he's going to be criss crossing . the country. start in northern france to day, but if you're visiting towns and cities across the country, a marine la pan who was already campaigning hard before sunday, she'll be campaigning hard in the next to reaches already said this is going to be her last election campaign. her last attempt to try and win the presidency. our president vladimir putin is holding his 1st face to face meeting with an e. you, leader. since russia invaded ukraine. austrian chancellor coll, new hammer is travelling to moscow a few days after he visited the ukrainian town of butcher. that's where russian forces are accused of war crimes. russia denies that tweeting ahead of the moscow trip knew armor said, while austria is militarily neutral, it has a clear stance against what he called russian aggression. ukraine's president says this week could be one of the most crucial for his forces in the war against russia . follow them is that n scares told south korea's parliament, the invasion has been a shock for russian troops in more ways than one at douglas, he lives you resort more than 3000 rockets have been fired by russia on ukrainian cities. but the worst thing is, how russia's using people to wage this war. the people of the russian federation have to live in abject poverty. they can't afford the basics of decent food and education. they've no guarantee of human rights throughout their whole life. the only chance of improvement could happen by chance alone. but coming into the war, 10000 russian troops were shocked by the normality of ukrainian life by ukrainian cities where the peaceful population lived. there were shocked we had decent food. a huge number of the russian occupies had never seen this in their own life. a funeral being held for a palestinian teenager who died from his injuries a day after being shot by israeli forces. dozens gathered to pay tribute to the 17 year old and the occupied westbank town of janine soldiers have carried out raids in the area after a palestinian man shot and killed 3 israelis in tel aviv on thursday. at least 4 palestinians have dive in the operations and that abraham joins us now from just outside the refugee camp engine. a new dallas thought with a basic question here. why we know the funeral has ended, but why was a young palestinian a teenager killed by these railey forces? what we know sammy from locals is that he was driving a motor bike when a special is really units rated the janine area. now we heard that he was shot in the pelvis by what the palestinian house ministry says is an explosive bullet that led to a lot of bleeding and called him to lose his life in the morning. despite the medical efforts to help him and give him blood, he succumb to his will. and so, according to the family of ram, has him, they say that this special unit was there to try and attack an arrest. the family now has him. is the gunman who has conducted a shooting attack and tele, that's ended up killing 3 days on thursday. and the family says that they were trying to, they've been threatened rather by the israeli intelligence to turn themselves over . they told them they told us they have no intention of turning themselves in for these really authorities. they keep saying they have no idea what their son, who has been plotting or doing so. we believe that this young man has lost his life because he was just standing at the wrong place and at the wrong time. and this is not something that is new for palestinians living under the israeli occupation. oftentimes, it's hard to know what happened when they re, the army says we shot at somewhat because they were trying to conduct an attack or is that big go to read it happening attack. but there is no way to verify that the narrative also in bethlehem yesterday a 35 year old widow. she has 6 children. she also lost her life and we don't know the circumstances. we know that she was shot in the leg and there were efforts to revive and help her. she also succumb to her wounds. and people say she was visually impaired. so maybe she also was at the wrong time, the soldiers, these ready soldiers might have suspected that she was trying to carry out an attack or something. it's hard to know, but this is part of the frustration of palestinians who say that israel has the military has the soldiers has the upper hand. and at the end of the day, it's those people who lose their lives in these circumstances. and they feel like there's no compensation and they feel like the world is not paying attention to their misery aren't so much new that abraham still had in the news. the state of texas drops a murder charge against a woman who was accused of carrying out his self induced abortion. i'm critics of

story and he's the people who allow us into their lives, dignity and humanity, anti fascist anti establishment and pro violence. despite the recent official disbanding of its militarized wing, a basque separatist movement is found alive and well on the terraces of a build power stadium. a place where political revolution rates share a platform in ideology with violent football, hooligan. i read all day on al jazeera. during the debates, there is no he job bad to go. you know, if anyone here talks about women that i had 2 horses does bit this bill seem to have been says notes topic is off the table. we were taught to see abortion as a one way ticket street to help all of the companies. they deny any responsibility, even though they have the resources in the power to fix it, where a global audience becomes a global community. the comment section is right here. the part of today's program, this dream are now to sierra algebra is here to report on the people often ignored, but who must be heard? how many other channels say we'll take the time and put extensive thought into reporting from under reported areas. of course we cover major global offense, but are passionate lives and making sure that you're hearing the stories from people in places like how is fine with yemen, the south region, and so many other we go to them, we make the effort, we care, we straight ah, ah oh, come back here watching al jazeera time to recap on headlines. now buck is dawn's national assembly as chosen, shabby sheriff as the country's new prime minister sharif will succeed in ron khan who was ousted in a no confidence boat over the weekend. more than 100 m. p. 's with collins focused on death rekey and soft policy designed to protest against his ousting. french president, emmanuel mccall says the next 2 weeks will be decisive for his country. as he prepares for ronald flows against fall, right, challenger marine le pen, most opinion polls suggest he'll win by a tight module president vladimir putin is due to have his 1st face to face meeting with you. lead us since russia invaded the crime. austrian chancellor, call new hamas traveling to moscow a few days after he visited the ukrainian town of poacher. a russian forces are accused of committing war crimes. more now on our top story, pakistan's new prime minister, shabba sharif, who was just elected to succeed iran con. let's speak to that. he was saying, now he's a political analyst in a thought about. so what do you make of this succession? it went smoothly in parliament. would it go smoothly overall in politics? was that? yeah, as to some extent of what has gone smoothly, but the guy says it's far from or the p d. i was led by a former 5 miss james brown han had decided to do design from from the measures that being matched. so that would create other crisis in the country. as you said, it seems that 130 or 100 members are designed from this. i'm lisa. it's been to be a new challenge from the new government. how much power the same on con, has to become more, i guess we could call the disruptor in chief. now, while he still had the mass support base and that kind of a protest meeting taking place across the country on scott's shows that it's not active. it's still being disorder. he has taken up this narrative that this all foreign is sponsored. again that to read this new government has come to the box. so yes, actually i think probably the support best because seems to have been diminished or the last few years to have been gallery miles on that. and that's why i city, i think you think he would force the election sooner. now focused on his hand periods of constitutional crisis, sometimes even culminating in cruise is that the road that the countries heading down. now what i think so because if 12130 members resigned from the 70 mast. so that's a huge factor. and the next iteration is going to find the new government upgrade and new elections on our bi election on those seats would be very difficult. so the whole district seem to be and also it is also the problem that they did not one part $95.00. we get part of the pollution and in the divergent critical muse. so and this is not a good time for anyone to take it to me as an image. shambler ad, there's a physical crisis and then also other problem. so for the german year, for the new me, it's huge. and, and with this and how to balance all of those critical part can be reading. i didn't that, that are also going to be a problem for the find the new prime minister. so all displayed to met can the situation worse? now m p 's have been celebrating this is a victory for parliament for democracy. but once you make the suggestion that actually m p 's or some of them are undermining parliamentary democracy by this constant shifting of sides and some would even say being pulled out by opposing parties. well i think that hasn't been the problem with the park spun democracy. people do very easy, and then iran hung on rod. he doesn't accept, in fact, a pretty darn temp on the fundamental system of many of yes, he would not like to sit in this and this 5 goodman is out the bottom that it's actually happening. so he would prefer to read the system and then becoming that part of the system. all right, thank you very much for your analysis bank to another of our top stories now that war in ukraine will. the fighting has been intensifying in the east as russian forces make a renewed push to control the don bass region. rob mcbride is in levine for us, and the ukranian officials will be warning for days. the. the 5 he was going to intensify the dumbass region. what are you hearing and there have been reports confirming that there has been a pick up in the amount of shelling that's going on in the east. the president's zelinski warning ukraine that the next 4 or 5 days are going to be crucial. he says, with this expected renewed assault by russian forces reports of the russians moving tens of thousands of troops in readiness for this new assault. a lot of the attention seems to be on the very strategically significant city of sloppy ants. and now this is a, this isn't close to the break away. self styled republic of don, yet it is controlled by ukrainian forces still, but there is there a lot of speculation. and if the russians can takes love yann's, then potentially they could then move and cut off or encircle quite a sizable portion of the ukrainian forces in the east. and these, these are some of the batter trained, ukrainian units, so air, brazil, lensky warning that this battle could be a grow very crucial for the whole of ukraine for ukraine's or future. and there's some speculation though about just how much the russians are prepared to engage their ground forces. we have seen what happens when they get into close quarters battle with a very stiff resistance from ukrainian forces in all of the towns and cities north of cave. and it has not gone well for the russians. they have sustained heavy losses. that there is quite a bit of speculation from military observers that they will will rely in the forthcoming battle if and when it starts. far more on that, that air superiority and also their superiority when it comes to the artillery and the rockets that they have really to use those rather than or to may be possibly using ground forces that would probably or for a russian army that has lost. so many troops already be more palatable, and zelinski present zaleski has been addressing more parliamentarians this time talking with parliamentarians in south korea. and the warning it, sir, that this is a battle not only for ukraine, for the whole of europe appealed, appealing for more weapons. but also as if took, referring to the eye ongoing offensive around bardy opal saying a boy, we don't know the source for this, that the russians are responsible for killing tens of thousands of people are in that city and determined to make an example of mary. you pull up the lesson for the hold of ukraine, he says, or i run my bribe there. thanks so much. our murder charges to be dropped against the u. s. woman accused of carrying out the self induced abortion texas. impose some of the united states, toughest anti abortion laws. last year, the procedure is banned beyond 6 weeks of pregnancy and private citizens consume doctors, or anyone who procures an abortion beyond that period of pregnant women themselves cannot be prosecuted. chris adelson is an assistant professor of government at the american university school of public affairs. he says, the woman in this case should never have been charged. i think what's more significant than the decision is the fact that this one was arrested that she was held for 2 days. she was only release initially because an organization paid bill for her. there is no law in texas. that actually makes it a crime for women to terminate or pregnancy. the law you mentioned provides for civil penalties. i think this sends a very chilling message to women in texas and another state who may soon be in a similar situation not having access to legal worship. i'm assuming that the united states supreme court will either completely overrule roe v wade, which is already actually been eroded. it's part of it was already taken when $19200.00 is called printed versus casey, or that the court will put additional holes in review when it's not clear that will happen. but i think it's a safe bet that will happen if it does happen. i think many americans are not prepared for what that will mean for those of us who grew up in united states after review, when i was born in 1971, we heard stories about women before 973 ros decided who would get worse and so come back out the information from people who are not doctors what and they often got very ill or even died from this. the texas was already made it illegal, not a crime that illegal for women to get abortions after about 6 weeks. one of the things i've been wondering about is what are women in texas doing? and we seem to be getting some information. it's not that they're necessarily not getting abortions anymore. they just maybe get abortions that are not safe. and that may be a story that becomes a more widespread united states depending what the supreme court does in mexico, i live out of fis of eligible voters, of taken part in the referendum to decide whether the president should step down. those who did vote overwhelmingly support and the rest manual lopez over a dought staying in office. manion apollo reports from mexico city mexican citizens took to the polls on sunday for a 1st ever national referendum to decide the political fate of president and this manuel. nope, is overt other outside this polling station in mexico city, many seemed eager to cast their votes. no mass in fort phantom. i think the most important thing is that the sacrifice will keep happening in the future. i independent of this president in the future. this will be an opportunity that citizens didn't have in the past. that okay, is i think it's good and positive. it makes our society politically active and that's a valuable thing. oh, the referendum on the presidency is a divisive topic in mexico. one that has sparked demonstrations both for and against. some critics are calling the referendum unnecessary, given that president lopez over to thought already has a nearly 60 percent approval rating. others have argued the referendum is being manipulated by president lopez, but others party to rally supporters ahead of the next presidential election in 2024 initiative will say so greatly in this process. rule set by congress imply. there cannot be a campaign by the president, nor can public resources be used for his ramifications. nevertheless, what we have seen are public servants from the present party at every level is basically campaigning for it. and some have even argued the vote could open the door to removing term limits in a country where presidents are only allowed to serve a single 6 year mandate outside of the political debate. however, many social scholars have argued the new referendum process is ultimately a good thing for mexican democracy. the 8th that yielded as he would as it but it's, but soon. so this and other forms of citizen participation are important and necessary as we confront the crisis of democracies. these mechanisms of direct democracy should serve to empower citizens in the public space and in the decision making processes. a recent national survey suggest that only as much as 27 percent of eligible voters will participate in the recall referendum for below the 40 percent needed for the results to be binding. president lopez over at all, however, has bowed to respect the outcome of the referendum and resign if he receives less than 50 percent of votes, regardless of voter turnout. though polls have now closed election, official say it could still take several days for the official count to be announced. manuel did apollo al jazeera mexico city. ah, panelist, take you through the headlines here, al jazeera park styles, national assembly has chosen chabad sharif as the country's new prime minister. surely full succeed m. ron con news ousted in a no confidence vote. over the weekend. more than a 100 empties with cons, focused on to heavy kin. soft party resigned to protest

homelessness, and as eviction protections and active during the pandemic come to an end. many worry that the crisis will worsen. but how do you solve a problem? when politicians, even within their own party, can't seem to agree on a way forward. that conversation is coming up. but 1st, south africa is the most unequal country in the world. $30000000.00 people are living in poverty while the top 10 percent of the population own 86 percent of total net. well, the results high levels of housing and food insecurity. fighting against convictions and for land, better housing and the dignity of the poor is a checked well as movement called. the avalon lake bought them john below. they are the largest grassroots organization of the landless port and post apartheid south africa. but they say dangerous, and sometimes fatal consequence for their activism. just last month, 2 members were killed and what the group says were politically motivated. assassination. this week's headliner capella happy. the secretary general of the abeline bus him and the the pell will help you. thank you so much for joining me on upfront. you are the secretary general of abeline bus him and jonah la a lately, members of your organization have been facing threats, physical attacks in early march to members, a yonder in gila and the bunker mac. well, a, we're actually killed. your movement has said that the killings were carried out by people connected to the african national congress. the current governing party. they of course have rejected these claims. why has your movement face such violent repression when you're fighting for what are seemingly uncontroversial things, a basic human rights, housing, food and things like that. mom's medals formed installing 5 of them don't, don't know, stands for excess land for the poor and my son lives in this country difficult in generation. we have to focus on generation. we live under fair, even human conditions in the ship settlements. we have no access to what we have no access to a mutation. beth is that reality that we faced as the people running and checks the dimensions of africa post about africa. and our father did not fight for these. nelson mandela did not fight for. they fought for us to have a better life than and before i bought it, i end on de la idea owned a young man who was please, it was needing a new shooting to call the twin lab work. if you kind of all over to where am instead of pleasing, such a brilliant leadership, the agency fees and the i'm, you know, as an enemy because he's a poor, i'm young man who is from the settlement, informal agreement who's organizing outside of the states. or we can say that the people have been killed by did dodie amc because in 2016 to what comes out of the amc were convicted and sentenced to life in prison. and right now, as i speak to you, they are saving, lack improvement in the maximum stock prison for having queued, one of our own attributes. so we, our cubicles are exposing corruption. we ask you to because we are exposing corruption when it comes to a location of houses that are built by government for the poor. but in state officials in municipalities, in the form of what kinds of those are sitting you've houses to meet people who do not want to bypass going to the banks. but the houses that have a mentor to put a stop to poor. i've given to people who do not deserve them and you find that homelessness continues to be, oh, don't stay for us and we are leaving. and that is a home that i'm in very, in human condition. i wanna, well, i want to talk to you about about the housing for sure. but i don't want to skip past this question of the a and c being directly involved. ah, in these killings, you've talked about killings for which members are people connected to the a and c have been arrested, convicted and sentenced. but the answer is also rejected. ah, quite formerly the insinuation that it is involved in the systemic elimination of abala bus. and when you're the leaders and members, in fact, the spokesperson for the agency in a causal the natal where the killings took place that we referenced said, you cannot say the agency has killed people or the a and c has sent people to kill other people. if you have got evidence that so and so kill your leader or member, you have an obligation to go to the police and open a case and give evidence otherwise going out in issuing statements that a and c killed people is reckless. and when we're talking about these killings, particularly the ones in early march, what evidence do you have? what can you offer? ah, to substantiate the claim that they were killed by a and by the agency where the n c is in government and we are not saying that's the the in see is, is, is, is killing the are people who are using the name of the amc and the answer should come out and say, don't people are not representing us. so the person who has been behind in the attic of the communion in canada. and you know, in the end, i mean people, they're taking people targeting people is in a z, g o. sam's in the executive branch of the a and c and use is the name of the amc. so the answer, if they're not involved, they should be the one who are condemning these. in fact, we've never had them condemned window to what counselors and no statement issued when the 2 are counselors, way we understand. so you, we have proof of to a and sci fi shot at hiring well rested to date danes. he never even leaves the statement. so we have been reporting cases and the cases of the to, you know, what comes on us, where you put it re investigated. and they thought they were found to be guilty. but some of the cases are, in fact we have the more on the commission. and which of the commission that was investigating political killings and wasn't that. and we went into it and brought up some evidence. today we asked you to waiting, but you know, you are fighting against the government and that is investigating itself. i want to get to the, the root of this question of land, which you referenced a moment ago. because one of the main promises opposed to part time south africa was to redistribute land to black south africans. we've been forcibly removed from the land during the apartheid regime. can you talk about the breakdown of land ownership in south africa today? who benefits from access to urban life in an opportunity when the issue of medicines, i don't think i is did a major crisis. and i don't think that's the the, the, the legislation that we have put in place and have done any justice. we have charting against, i mean we are talking about 10 to 7 years later since the amc has been in power. that he has a peasant myself can, can claim that cannot claim that their own level does come in while the 10 percent and each wides, who, where privilege during the update continue to owned the majority of the land and just country we are. we are just limitless. we, we have no future. amen. i inhibited the chance. settlement where i leave, and the ship that i live in is a ship that belongs to my parents. so we in heavies, poverty, we're asking poor is deflect. if people have just country, the majority of black people still suffer the consequences of living and that is in human conditions where we are faced with files in from our sentiment and where we had a good thing in the how does this, how does this happen? right? been a post a part type moment. many people celebrated the shift in leadership, the face of black president and government officials. and yet i'm hearing you talk about a, a persistent inequality in terms of access to resources, access to land access to housing. how does this happen when lewis sold this idea that we're going to city and we do have their freedom of movement? and i don't, i, i think that i to excess economy. it adds to excess housing data to access to land that use it. that way we can glance food, so we can stop by is not day for black people. a young black peasant like my sam is still saying today that i don't have a place where i can pull it home and my kids will. and heading their face, the very same fact if i don't fight today. so that's why we are fighting and saying that we will occupy meant we need to when needed to do so, because we are doing this for our kids. we are doing this for our next generation because it seemed like can be those who have negotiated during the holidays. i did not discuss that issue of land and which was the most crucial being we went these, pull it off our land, and we have the levy. i'm that these condition that we are leaving under because the color now the system is still day visible for us. and if you go to a place like cape town, it's very difficult to access the seat you, when you are blank and, and now we have in no, it's no longer about the color scheme. it's about how much you have so, so you can access the cities. so we will compile, lend that just go to the c too because we believe that people who have been deprived of that i to a bit. can you describe that for me a bit because, you know, i think from an audience is benefit you're fighting against the evictions. you're fighting the acts as land, as you mentioned. and to do so, you are lead occupying vacant and unused lands in urban areas. and you're trying to sort of bill communities in, inside the spaces out there in formal settlements. basically, what do they look like? who's in them, or how are they structured when the infamous settlements are shenzi houses built out of wood out of desperation because we have no other ways of occupying the leg. and because so sometimes we are forced to forcibly removed by the answer and envision when needs done or enforcement as well as the am in john inspected that and see where people can move into gunpoint. and some of them have been killed during the process. and by the way, we lost 22, it took us, you know, about some jumbo and since 2009 when we are being a tent and, and of course, and these shinji houses obviously washed away by flaps. or we've had people who have been in, you know, getting their lives by the flags in the province. we have people who are dying share files because they're, which is because the fire. so then this is the kind of life that black majority is out of the candy and you talk about how they're threatened by, by nature, but they're also threatened by violent evictions in 2020 your organization reported that a private security firm acting on behalf of the at a quine municipality carried out illegal evictions using live ammunition. several people in the community were hospitalized. 1 and this is just one example of many, oh, where do people go after eviction when they have no way to go? and that's why we, we, we encourage all existence and which is called in this is because we have no way if you, if we leave the lender occupied, do we have nowhere else to go. but it is unfortunate as it is very unfortunate that a government that is supposed to be a pro pu up the government that is supposed to take care of the government communist a better life for us. and our opinions, judy before about 8 am today is the same government to do that is doing at frankie . and what's the about big government was doing to our parents when they 1st moved him. i talked our cd. so we are based with the government that does that, and they're prepared to shoot and key for such. and if not, they would use the local agency at branch levins to deal with those. well, you're paying let for somebody else to buy and land for somebody. there have been proposals and government to expropriate and redistribute land to address racial land inequality most recently there was one in december of 2021. the proposals all failed. who is blocking the redistribution of land to black residence and why, and the addition of land without compensation for us as a movement, we are state that it will fade because he gets trade in many ways. it is like taking land from the white any and giving it to black any because it does not speak directly to the people on the account. we believe that people on the ground must be done. voices of this expectation is it must not be something that is in parliament because what is what they might have been a frequent. we don't know, cast a and seen pounds. and the other thing that we, we do think lead with is the fact that the land must be in the hands of government for the benefit of the people. we know that it doesn't happen in a corrupt government. it will still be a black leaks in the black and it would be have control over it. the agency next political we try to address the issue and then do this company. and it is only when the people organized from below that we can try to be able to extra credit learn without organization, discuss the payload will help me. thank you so much for joining me on up front. thank you. it must be a great pleasure. ah, more than half a 1000000 americans are currently experiencing homelessness. when the coven 19 pandemic hit millions of people lost their jobs, prompting the federal government to place a moratorium on evictions. but that was a short term auditorium that really didn't do enough to just the crisis or did it. and what happens next now that those protections are nearly all gone to any me to discuss this are rob robinson member of the campaign to restore national housing rights in beth melanie, the director of legal aids eviction defense project. thank you both for joining me, beth. and want to start with you when the front. oh are more time on evictions ended on august 26th of last year. but many people predicted that we would see a so called eviction soon army. but so far, most of the data indicates that didn't happen. why? i think the main reason we're seeing this in the district of columbia is that the federal government came in with hundreds of millions of dollars of rental assistance. and so that helped in dc, we've had about $400000000.00 and rental assistance distributed to landlords on behalf of tenants. and so it may have just kind of held off on us to nami, that's gradually gonna come. maybe it's not going to be a see now me, but it's going to play out over time. but that money has made a huge difference. well, that there's actually encouraging news it, despite the fact that the data, at least seems come somewhat encouraging. the fact remains that in 6 states of 31 cities, oh, the organization eviction lab tracks those places and more than 8000 people have been evicted in the past week alone. does the perception that the snobby never happen. make the work of advocating for housing rights actually more difficult. i think it does. i'm. i agree with beth that there was federal money to sort of slow . that's an army. but i think certain states play out different. we've had stronger protections in new york, which ended january 15, 2020 till our protections in new york was stronger than the federal protections. however, we just had a protest in front of bronze house in court in new york because there are 20000 cases in the hopper ready to be activated and started evicting people, you know, in bronx new york. but i, i think in other places around the country's similar is going to happen. we will see once the courts open up, we will see a rush to with it. and speaking of courts, beth, when the supreme court blocked an extension on the eviction moratorium, many understandably responded in protest. but the court said that the moratorium was going to continue. it had to come from congress. does the court have appoint? ah, it doesn't seem unreasonable to many that congress should be making the laws mean that is the legislative branch branch. i'm again, should we be putting some pressure on congress for this? so sure, of course, we should be pressure in congress act. but congress has made the laws, so congress has passed laws that say the center for disease control. and prevention has certain authority to act, including in an emergency. congress has made laws about the health care system and health care workers, you know, being vaccinated and those kinds of things. and so the point is, congress has acted and said, we have this huge nation. we have all these different actors trying to protect health. and we're going to give agencies some authority to act when they need to quickly on the ground, knowing what's happening on the ground best. but what do you do with those who do end up in court as one judge put it? it's pretty clear who could do something about this problem. the courts don't make the laws. you're the director of leeway eviction defense project that you represent clients for landlord tenant issues in washington dc right here where we are. are there ways to protect tenants in courts? they don't necessarily require legislative perform. absolutely, and our court and d. c has done some of these things, i'll mention a few things. so before the pandemic landlord tenant court, and d. c, you would have 15200 tenants showing up in the morning at 9 10 am. they're there for the whole day missing work having to deal with child care. and sometimes just didn't come because of those issues. also, the tenants didn't have to be served court papers whole week before the court date, so i didn't, you know, that you have to go to court in a week. you have to make all these arrangements. you may not be able to do it. so our city council has changed the law, so you have to get 30 days notice before the 1st court hearing, but what the court has been doing is scheduling hearings and one hour blocks. and so, you know, that's your hour. the court has allowed proceedings to be remote and really as committed to continuing to allow that. so if you need to be at home and come to court, if it's just kind of a status hearing or something where there's not gonna be testimony, there's not gonna be a trial. you can do that from your home. so i don't necessarily have to choose between, for example, childcare eggs that are going important, protecting my whole claim. when they learn new york city could barely make ends meet. and i'm just give you an example when she worry that she might lose her family home after hurt and it's stop paying rent. it left her short $70000.00 to cope with the loss of income as a result of the eviction moratorium. some local landlords are selling their property to institutional investors many way that this will only mean higher rents and fewer options for the very people, the moratorium of the victim moratorium was supposed to help. ah, does support for local landlords need to be a bigger part of the conversation definitely needs to be a big part. and i think the movement, the right to counsel coalition and housing justice for all have made that clear in new york city and new york state that is deaf part of their struggle. they support the small landlords, what they are arguing against as a bigger landlord to use addiction court as a factory to mass produce evictions. because we have things like rent control in new york if i can get the tenant out. and so some places keep it empty for 2 years in new york. right? control goes away, then they bring it back as a market rent apartment, right? so we need to preserve, you know, those rent controlled apartment. so i do think the movements, any of the social justice graduates community support those small landlords, but we also need to get a wake up call from our elected officials. the other thing i want to just add to, i think beth makes a significant point about the number of cases in a particular court book. if a judge in this is not unusual in new york has 100 eviction cases on the desk. and on a given day can be mass production man, i'm going to get these cases of my desk as fast as possible. and that's what a problem. i agree, we need to slow that process, definitely slow the process down, but also again focused on these local landlords. there was a, a survey done and it showed that 23 percent of small landlords only between one in 3 single family homes plan to sell at least one property due to the difficulties caused by the eviction band. and again, they're not selling to other small landlords, right? they're selling to big companies who can afford to wait out the game or to just take whatever hits in order to raise the rate and push other people out. what do we do? so rental assistance, i think has been a big part of writing this i, you know, i think small landlords potentially should be looked at differently. i will say small landlords however, i think something we have to keep in mind. they are the ones we often see in the district who are having tenants living in terrible conditions. they are threatening tenants. they are doing things that are illegal. they are locking tenants out. and so i think it's really important to have that full picture that like to man a size, a small local lane lawyer. and there are 2 sides that issue because look, you know, small businesses are a form of wealth creation, so forth in communities and for people of color. and we need to have that full picture. i think it's important to keep in mind there's another side to that story . and so in d. c, we have a small landlord lobby and they actually have been kind of the most vocal, the most vitriolic in fighting against any protections for tenants. and so it's just important to keep all these things and balance. look at the picture overall when we try to come up with solutions, that's an important right, because i think we would all agree insecure housing is a problem. even people on the extremes of each political party would say, yeah, on house people is not a good thing that the problem is agreeing on a solution to this. that's where you go. and it was a subject for example, but donald trump, to blame democrats, right? but it's also something if the vice of in the democratic party also it doesn't seem like the people who are hearing from the most or the people who are catching the most pain from the right people who are actually experiencing housing insecurity. so talking about what we're getting wrong. now again, you're speaking someone formally unhealthy. what from what, what from your own experiences, shapes, how you want to say in addition to being in the shelter and understand the shelter system. what else being brought to the table in my voice? nattering right, have a have a voice in the decision making policy. the problem is you tend to romanticize that individual voice. you need more voices like mine and others to come to the table. what kind of voices romanticize that was the person pulling up by the bootstrap is the know a hair his rob. right? so rob came from a family, right. he was once living in you know, middle class america, right? family stable family. he went homeless for 2 and a half years spent 10 months in the shelter found his way out. anybody can do it. no, not anybody can do it right. i had an infrastructure around me. i had knowledge of how it was to live non homeless. many of the folks who was suffering had lived in poverty and struggle their lives. so they need help. you can just pick yourself up by your bootstraps, you need support, right? and your voice needs to be heard in your voice needs the matter. so when you make those decisions, when you're in front of a politician who's signing off on legislation, who knows nothing about homelessness, doesn't make any sense to me. i once said to mayor bloomberg in new york because i was bought to a table with 30 individuals who were going to address the housing problem in new york. and i asked him before i started mayor bloomberg to jump asleep on a piece of cardboard. he looked at me bemused. i asked him again, he says, i don't understand what you mean. i said what i mean is you have a bunch of people around the stable who never went through this issue. but then making decisions about the meeting ended abruptly. when the meeting was brought back, 6 months later, the table was divided. 505050 with decision makers, 50. what people when lived experience? well, those voices have to be brought to the table. they have the matter and they have to be part of that decision making process throughout. thank you so much for joining me on upfront ranking with everybody that is our show up front. we'll be back next to the ah judy has begun the faithful wold copies on its way
