Well back here in germany this year berlins decision to freeze rents for 5 years made news around the world well the move came after intense public discussion about the lack of Affordable Housing in the capital all with that cap set to go into effect in the new year our next report takes a look back at the campaign that led to its introduction. Tenants in berlin have been fighting for their rights last summer they led an initiative calling for the nationalisation of some of the property owned by Real Estate Companies they wanted city to hold a referendum on the issue 1st began with senior referendum question as based on article 15 of the german basic low it states the property may be transferred to Public Ownership for the purpose of socialization the article has never been invoked but what can be a stake in terms of history and basic low and also the market economy we see this is utterly unthinkable you can we call upon the City Government and the federal government to put an immediate stop to this whole affair. The german capital is witnessing a battle over Affordable Housing between tenants real estate owners and politicians theres an acute shortage of living space berlin has a deficit of tens of thousands of apartments. The speculation is on the rise in the last decade seen rents doubled. At the same time as a construction boom entire neighborhoods are sprouting up like here in the district of predicts hine this housing complex is brand new tenants are paying up to 16 year olds per square meter a studio apartment cost 350000. 00 euros making it financially out of reach to many but they are just arent enough affordable apartments for rent owned by Public Housing associations like this one a 54 square meter apartment for 500. 00 euros a month in the heart of the city a place like this will always attract a lot of interest theres like poured in 15 people sometimes you have more than a 100 any it really depends on like dilatation price everything contribution that i used to live in paris and i felt 1st of her was one that was difficult but now i know it was easy in paris finding a balance is the motivation underlying this construction project at alexanderplatz in berlin the former east german house of statistics is a prime piece of real estate with a steady 50000000. 00 euros its undergoing an extensive renovation when its ready it wont be a Shopping Mall or a luxury hotel it will contain 300. 00 affordable apartments Small Businesses as well as facilities like Childcare Centers and studios for artists. The property was bought by the city and it is renting space to the district of mit is Housing Authority and an artist collective among others. Lets look at t. V. As i what Property Market is defined by profit but in this case that just doesnt work what we need in berlin is Affordable Housing but whats being built as expensive if it goes on like this we wont have any culturally diverse spaces and not the necessary social infrastructure we need to put a stop to the situation which is spiraling out of control on. It was the question of political efforts must be made to ensure the market remains fair in berlin. Now people across the mid east and asia have been witnessing a rare Solar Eclipse whats known as an annular eclipse provided stec tackler views to people from saudi arabia to india and singapore on many special goggles so they could look straight at the sun without damaging their eyesight to collect.

Queen elizabeth has delivered her traditional christmas address with a focus on peace and reconciliation as she reflected on this task summers 75th d.

Been a difficult year. Its a christmas tradition for the royal family and afternoon trip to the church near the queens sandringham estate but this year the party was smaller than usual no Prince Philip hes just out of hospital prince harry and his wife megan are taking time out in canada rumors of a family rift abound. And then theres Prince Andrew hes keeping a low profile after giving a t. V. Interview to deny he was involved in a sex scandal involving the convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein he was at church but in the morning well away from the cameras its been anything but clear sailing for the royals this year all for their country amid the drama of break search so a brave face for the christmas message jesus christ would show the world how small steps taken in faith and hope can overcome long held differences and deep seated divisions to bring harmony and understanding. Many of us already tried to follow in his footsteps the path of course is not always smooth and may at times this year have felt quite bumpy. Among the photos clearly visible on her desk during that speech the 3 men next in line to the throne they also feature in this royal video making christmas pudding for charity its worth remembering that it is often the small steps not the giant leaps that bring about the most lasting change.
