A meal just before the restrictions earlier this month the Government Order tourists to leave the area taking with them one vital piece of the regions economy but its not the 1st time kashmiris have suffered from work and businesses being shut down has it do. We know by the. Abo and take on they have abundant that what they know their. Season everything is at stake but they know that the existence. Landscape i would think is at stake. But doesnt know if hell be allowed to transport his crop to market or find enough trucks to do so but hell continue tending his fields because for many here culture and pride are more important than business and money. Now is the only European Union country to share a land border with the u. K. The deadlock over the irish border has held up a break that deal between brussels and london a hard break would be detrimental to our lands farmers who export most of their produce and as the capital makes preparations for breaks at the influx of big businesses and Property Developers a pushing out dublin those lawrence lee takes a look a briggs its impact on urban and rural areas right at the site has been marked down here on the site that the location which is ideal for the modern workers these people are protesting outside the office of private Equity Company or to use their phrase a vulture fund these financial organizations buy property and evicted tenants who then say theyre threatened with homelessness cutting the ribbon to celebrate sleeping in a tent is bitter a metaphor as you can possibly imagine its generally gentrification mass addictions where people are being forced out because not all middle income earners would be forced out of the city because they cant afford to live a tremendous city because of of lupos of education which which facilitate these guys who dont pay any tax and are on their own for income im extract massive profits on the face these individuals behind these companies but the end of the road is the irish parliaments where a quarter of government ministers are themselves landlords politicians sympathetic to the rinses say they can get nowhere with legislation to protect the pool we have set of repeatedly that we think given the very high proportion of landlords in the 2 major parties in the game they showed excused themselves from phones. On issues where it is a conflict of interest i dont believe that lyme lords are going to pass laws which impact on their ability to make money from property. And that its not the only explanation but i think its a big part of the argumentation a lot of it just to check the bit between Equity Companies in the Political Class well i think theres no doubt it is easiest to chop. This housing crisis is a reflection of dublins entire Business Model which is to entice tech giants like Facebook Google and the rest on the promise that ireland is a tax haven the rental market is designed entirely around their needs not those of irish workers the bottom line is the campaigners say that the economics of dublins Housing Market have created a sort of social apartheid in which property becomes only the preserve of the rich who buy and then rents either to wealthy outsiders or foreign sorest so in short lets and gradually doublings working poor become priced out of their own city demand outstripping supply means renting one of these tiny cottages in dublin would set you back nearly 2000. 00 a month peters lived in one for 13 years his landlady wants him to leave and hes facing spending 2 thirds of everything here on rent somewhere else for normal work you know 607080 percent. Of peoples here isnt yet spent one year one of the unions through what would you do this if you had to speak if you had to spend some lives and you know income on rent could you put a little more you know you could be forgiven if you dont bias it so if you want to do those university you have to move down the country you know you have to move to cheaper area. The squeeze on housing is affecting Foreign Workers to the apartment looks great its only 1500. 00 a month the reason its not so expensive is you have to share it with a total stranger the rental company chooses your flatmates based on a guess as to whether you like each other most of the People Living here work in the International Tech companies its the Little Things we find its like how often do you clean your dishes to clean them straight after you have a meal to leave them there overnight you do it in the morning all those kind of things that we find that mice irritate another room ace we kind of find out before they move in and then kind of review both applications and see well you know this guy seems to fit with this guy of this girl so on and so forth and then well introduce them and then its really up to them after that and so it was arlen tries to draw Foreign Workers in so the housing crisis balloons this Recruitment Agency says its so bad that many people who are offered jobs in dublin dont even come because theres nowhere to live as ever its smaller businesses that suffer some of the multinationals they they could possibly pay a good relocation or they may have a company that will help them i think its probably putting more and more stress and pressure on the smaller businesses who dont have the luxury of paying a massive relocation fee or they dont have the time to help search for you know accommodation around around dublin. Because really its just theres just not enough accommodation at all its a decade since the banking crash and orleans lost housing crisis in the interim a little was done to build new Affordable Homes for irish workers while the multinationals smell tax breaks as a National Policy failure it could hardly be worse. And were just about to start now trade a truck here its called the Irish National planning championships but in reality its more a celebration of farming showing just how seriously they take it on the island of ireland the men driving the tractors have rock star status here. Was a sports heroes it was a job the race people are Irish National heroes they were 3 days a 3rd of a 1000000 visitors inspect the machinery and the livestock its all in the blood. And given that exports 90 percent of all the food it produces much of it to the u. K. The idea of the new border cutting the island into is a nightmare theres a real possibility of the coming from would not survive for her. And the potential maybe theres a lot of promises made some of them are still ones critically be from above given the level of indebtedness cut out. For you may find out what the British Government wants to achieve at this point is vague at your best but it seems to accept the huge importance of irish food to the u. K. Politicians use phrases like the all ireland food economy which most people dont understand in practical terms its much simpler so it appears bracks it has come down to this the British Government says its happy for makes from that how to pass on checks through the irish border but nots apparently that piece of farming equipment over there and if thats appears ridiculously picky its also the case of the British Government doesnt seem to realise that that would be completely unacceptable its about the irish governments and the European Union the agriculture minister turned up to take questions there wasnt a single british journalist there theres almost no attempt to understand the irish position in terms of the volume of trade from the republican ordinarily in the region 700000000 and something slightly less coming from north south and the granular detail of that is you know. 10 percent of the pool is processed from the public 400000 sheep consoled for his daughter i could give you a myriad of statistics so the continuation of the economy is really important to us and those politicians who represent voters around the border insist that if the u. K. Cant figure out what it wants it should let irish people decide for themselves this is why people say the failure to agree on brics it could lead to a United Ireland so the choices are. The British Government. Except the backstop and the minimal protections that it provides in order to ensure that we dont have a hardening of the border or that can give the people in the north of ireland a choice as to which union they want to be part of didnt want to be part of the dysfunctional so called United Kingdom or didnt want to as declared in the previous referendum the man part of the European Union the essential contradiction of brecks it remains that the u. K. Wants to shut itself off from the European Union while keeping its border with the e. U. Open any ideas proposed by the irish to square that circle have been ruled out as unacceptable in london and yet here they are still waiting for the british Prime Minister to come up with Something Else instead joining us now via skype from dublin is john the graeme jones the director general of the British Irish Chamber of commerce john great to have you with us now economists reckon that irelands economy could suffer a hit somewhere between 4 to 7 percent in a decades time thanks to briggs it whats your assessment in terms of jobs and the economy its a very serious situation not to be alarmist but we have to be realistic about the possibility if not the probability of a hired form of bricks that obviously were working to achieve the least worst form of breaks it with pollard politics and diplomacy but arlens National Economics and social Research Institute has published an updated forecast for just the next 12 months and deserves 6 percent swing between the 2 scenarios and we could move into a recession with a reduction in Economic Activity by one percent next year compared with the running forecast of growth of 4. 9 percent if we dont have a heartbreaks it so you can see the magnitude swing it directly affects Major Industries and indeed theres no part of the economy is immune to it because of the sheer extent of the relationships between our and the u. K. So the 70000000000 euros in trade that currently exists between ireland and the u. K. In the case of a of a no deal brigs it that would be radically reshaped. Yes it would it in and in the case of a no deal breaker says it would be radically impacted as quickly as within weeks meaning that the food sector and its level of sophistication in terms of big juicy great products waiting b. D. s that are shipped with wonderful logistics onto supermarket shelves within hours from irish farm to fork infected be as we say that that sector would be really seriously damaged and the notion that hard wrecks it would somehow be job done for the u. K. Its only the start of the problem and the reality is heartbreaks it on the 31st of october would have an effect within days on the 2 way trade in goods and some services between the 2 islands even if there is a hard break so how important is it that the deal if there is one although the arrangement that has made leaves Northern Ireland and the Irish Republic able to trade freely across that border i mean how important is it to get some sort of a arrangement that allows goods to flow across the Northern Irish border its extremely important to be fair to most of the tightness in the in the brics a debate if nobody is denying that Northern Ireland is a very distinct and and special and specially exposed situation the book the physical border between Northern Ireland and the republic of ireland would in a heartbreaks its an area be the only land border of the European Union with the United Kingdom that border is 500 kilometers long there are hundreds well over 300. 00 crossing points across that border many of them on small local laneways and firewalls out across all of the border infrastructure which today is completely open and effectively invisible that that infrastructure that used to support a hard border would have to reemerge and and all. Parties have now agreed that its unavoidable that would have to be removed it may take some weeks to to install but it would be a significant. Impedance to the conduct of the several 100000 of that road journeys that very freight back and forth across that border every year and thats not into say at all about this significant security risks that everybody agrees are very substantial indeed at the heart border infrastructure was to reemerge john really good to talk to you and counting the cost many thanks indeed for being with us john mcgrane there from the British Irish Chamber of commerce and thats our show for this week if youd like to comment on anything youve seen you can tweet me out at a finnigan on twitter please use the hash tag a.

Klein cancer plays and experience the world is like never before cats are always going to places together. As political prepares to exit the people in power investigates disturbing allegations about the tactics used by the winning leave campaign we know that the law was broken and we know that campaigns over spent we know that russia tried to build a relationship with one of the key champaign who paid for bricks it people in power on aljazeera. Aljazeera. Where ever you are. Yemens are the rebels say thousands of saudi backed fighters have surrendered during a military campaign in the disputed border province. And im 10 this is al jazeera live from also coming up the taliban carries out a series of attacks as afghans come out and vote to choose a new leader. Ill tell you about a controversial. A project that promises to bring jobs that threatens a unesco World Heritage sites in kenya. We understand the risk you know its there its present every time that we jump back in and daring or deathwish base jumpers take a leap of faith from one of malaysias best known landmarks. Now yemen the rebels say thousands of saudi backed fighters have surrendered during a months long military campaign that he is have been targeting the southern saudi region of now speaking at the Un General Assembly the foreign minister of yemens internationally backed government used his speech to blame iran for the conflict and has country jordan has more. While most of the addresses before the u. N. General assembly have been filled with calls to save the planet or to promote economic and social harmony the Yemeni Foreign minister used his speech to attack those he says are responsible for plunging his country into war and. These are who 3 militias supported by iran the main sponsor of terrorism throughout the world is a run with its expansion a list of iran exploits the resources of its people in order to wage proxy war using militias which are capable of the most heinous forms of destruction and sabotage and he. Could then had stepped up his rhetoric accusing tel han of trying to spread yemens war into saudi arabia and on to the high seas. Well. Yemen when iran has sown heavy has wrought havoc in the arab peninsula it has created trained armed and financed militias to brandish the slogan of the iranian revolution and they havent priced an approach based on abuse repression and torture the who things have transformed the region into a stronghold to launch rockets in order to threaten the security of neighboring states and never gave in and the ritzy. Who the forces meanwhile have reversed their decision to observe their own ceasefire instead they claimed theyve made significant progress in border fighting against Saudi Coalition troops as well as against yemeni fighters backed by saudi arabia. Thousands of the enemy forces have been captured as prisoners others were killed from among the prisoners is a large number of high ranking officers and soldiers of saudi citizenship more than 72 hours from the launch of an operation they have been destroyed imprisoned and captured. A former u. S. Diplomat says with both sides intent on winning the war its been tough for you went on boys and for regional negotiators to end a war that has led to widespread hunger disease and displacement they. Are strong on the ground and they have done. In 2009 in november when the celebes 1st against them they went inside saudi border is near that measure on area and they captured both 100 warders guards. Then they use them for water so i imagine here after the saudi this big not unconditionally accept their piece of them that they once again want to show. They are capable of inflicting harm. And then again in flight the a prisoner swap and peace talks when it doesnt seem as if peace talks will happen any time soon at least Mohamad Tommy has reminded the International Community his country is still got 5 more rosslyn jordan aljazeera the United Nations. Well a series of attacks as well as technical delays havent stopped people from voting in afghanistans 4th president s the election the fall of the taliban but the turnout was lower as nearly 70 attacks across the country killed 5 and injured hundreds of others voters chose from 14 candidates so its likely to come down to just 2 men incumbent president as afghani and chief executive Abdullah Abdullah their results will be announced on november 7th tony about the reports from the capital. City in lock down the streets of kabul almost deserted on election day because polling stations open the biggest and tightest security operation ever in the capital was under way the taliban had warned people not to vote and it didnt take long before the Group Carried out its threats. Encounters there were attacks around the city aimed at disrupting voting roads were blocked and lines of communication cut a mortar round was fired into the grounds of a school use a polling hospital confirmed civilians had been killed and a number were injured elsewhere the taliban launch more attacks to north of kabul one in helmand and one in one go hard province no casualties were reported but a number of people were injured in a blast at a kandahar polling station it didnt deter some others from voting a lot of them despite all the hardships and violence we havent lost hope we have to vote and think about future generations this is afghanistans falls president ial election government officials maintain the use of advanced technology and highly Trained Personnel are making these the freest elections to date but there were reports of some polling stations failing to open and voters complaining that they hadnt been registered i came here to choose a person who can help the poor of this country but they say im not registered to vote its not right for the last president ial election 5 years ago there were queues of people waiting to vote at this polling station in central kabul on saturday. It was a trickle and voting had to be extended. Well have to see the has extended for couple of hours we hope that people. Can come out and make their choice but as well as in security people have also become disillusioned with politics in afghanistan and the broken promises in failure to tackle corruption poverty unemployment and Security International aid agencies say the situation today is worse than 5 years ago though not everyone agrees there is improvements been made we cannot deny that but there are also some kurds in or taliban decrease increase their attacks you know. There are other factors that affect it there are so many other factors that affect it more and bigger taliban attacks had been expected perhaps an indicator the group may be keeping its hardline element of peace while at the same time pushing a diplomatic strategy for peace talks with the u. S. They were abruptly canceled by President Trump this month the Election Results will be announced on november the 7th but its not just important who wins but whether the other candidates and all the other groups accept them and agree to work with them and in the fractured world of afghan politics that hasnt always been easy but in 2014 it only happened because of the strong arm tactics of the United States attorney Berkeley Al Jazeera kabul and protests have been taking place outside the Egyptian Embassy in khartoum to demand the release of a student that handled cairo.

Syrias deputy Prime Minister Walid Muallem again representing his country at the Un General Assembly hit out at 2 nato members for their military presence in syria. And. The United States and turkey maintain an illegal military presence inside Northern Syria they have been so arrogant to the point of Holding Discussions and reaching agreements on the creation of a socalled safe zone inside syria as if they were planning to establish the zone on american or turkish soil the u.
