Javed: uk viceroy's analysis of india

Javed Chaudhry - host of Kal Tak program in Pakistan - describes the assessment of India by the acclaimed Lord Ripon, Governor General and Viceroy of India during 1880-1884. According to Lord Ripon, the fundamental weakness of Indians was lack of unity, and this weakness - despite India's tremendous strengths in resources and manpower compared to Europeans - prevented her from escaping colonialism and poverty. As per Javed, Lord Ripon's advice is fully applicable to modern-day Pakistan; the country suffers from an acute case of disunity and has virtually no chance of progress until it fosters unity among its disparate people.

The challenge of urban response

The 2010 World Disasters Report (WDR) focuses on urban risk in the context of a world which is urbanizing rapidly, where over half the world's population now live in cities for the first time and more people than ever before live in slums. Urban poverty and disaster risk are often closely intertwined and the links between urban poverty and disaster risk will be increased by climate change. The report states that the root cause of why so many people are affected by urban disasters is that a billion people live in poor-quality homes on dangerous sites with no hazard-reducing infrastructure and no services. In any given year, over 50000 people can die as a result of earthquakes and 100 million can be affected by floods and the worst-affected are most often vulnerable city dwellers. This video shows what are the implications in terms of shelter when the response has to be carried out in an urban environment. Category: Nonprofits & Activism Length: 00:03:19.500 Tags: .

Renowned as "banker to the poor," Muhammad Yunus was an economics professor in his native Bangladesh when he began making small personal loans to destitute basket weavers more than 30 years ago.

Piquetero movement - argentina

What was once a small band of protestors has now developed into a well-organised movement in the fight against poverty and unemployment. Today, Piquetes are common occurrence across Argentina. The Piqueteros street protests are an increasingly common method of tackling social injustice. Although their plight is generally seen as a just cause, many ordinary people find it difficult to live with the disruption caused by regular protests. Despite this, the Piqueteros remain determined to bring about social change. The reality is that, here in Argentina, some people don't have enough to eat. There are people who are starving to death.

A world without poverty....

The first of a series of artistic experiment where people's perceptions and opinions of a world without poverty were gauged. A blackboard was rolled through some of the streets of Cairo with one provocative sentence written on it: A world without poverty is a world... Check out part of the overwhelming response captured in this clip. 2015 is a social movement that uses art to creatively raise awareness,campaign and take action to address issues of poverty in the Arab region. In the year 2000, nearly 200 world leaders pledged to eradicate extreme poverty by the year 2015. Today millions of people still live in poverty and many of them are in the Arab region. World leaders have failed. Now is the moment for us, the people, to get engaged, take responsibility and inspire each other to create a tidal wave of social change that works on addressing poverty issues in our communities and beyond.

Stewart rhodes: it's official, southern poverty law center is now part of dhs! alex jones tv

Rhodes sources a DHS document, entitled "Countering Violent Extremism Working Group," that lists Richard Cohen as a member of the DHS created group. Cohen is president and CEO of the Southern Poverty Law Center. In addition to Cohen, a number of law enforcement officials are members of the DHS group, including Austin Chief of Police Art Acevedo. "What does the working group do? Make recommendations on training and how to use all of the local resources — police, social services, media, NGO's, you name it -- to fight 'extremism.'

Noam chomsky on occupy wall street movement & state of world

Noam Chomsky on Occupy Wall Street Movement and world affairs Noam Chomsky interview with marina portnaya on Occupy Wall Street Movement and world affairs. "The banks are bigger and richer than before with corporate profits reaching record levels, and unemployment is about the level of the Great Depression -- I mean real unemployment." So it is time to protest, Chomsky is convinced, expressing his support for the "Occupy Wall Street" movement. "These people are saying, let's blame the culprits and the institutions behind them -- fiscal policies like taxation, rules of corporate governance, deregulation -- it does set in motion a vicious cycle that is getting worse and worse. If you walk down the streets of New York you can see very serious poverty and phenomenal wealth side by side, very much like a Third World country. Meanwhile, infrastructure is collapsing, schools are collapsing and all that keeps this cycle going." Category: Science & Technology Length: 00:09:20.250 Tags: .

Why We Resist the 2010 Winter Olympics No Olympics on Stolen Land BC remains largely unceded and non-surrendered Indigenous territories. According to Canadian law, BC has neither the legal nor moral right to exist, let alone claim land and govern over Native peoples. Despite this, and a fraudulent treaty process now underway, the government continues to sell, lease and develop Native land for the benefit of corporations, including mining, logging, oil & gas, and ski resorts. Meanwhile, Indigenous peoples suffer the highest rates of poverty, unemployment, imprisonment, police violence, disease, suicides, etc. Ecological Destruction Despite claims to be the greenest Olympics ever, and PR statements about sustainability, the 2010 Olympics will be among the most environmentally destructive in history, with tens of thousands of trees cut down & mountainsides blasted for Olympic venues in the Callaghan Valley (near Whistler) & the Sea-to-Sky Highway expansion. In the summer of 2007, a record number of black bears were hit on the Sea-to-Sky Highway, with at least 11 dying (attributed to loss of habitat).

Michael hudson on capital account w/lauren lyster part 2

As a new census poverty gauge shows 2.5 million more people are in poverty than the standard gauge (more than 49 million and a 16% poverty rate). Meanwhile Americans are heavily indebted, with student debt as one example expected to surpass one trillion dollars. Do Americans have a solution to these economic conditions? On Capital Account with Lauren Lyster, Dr. Michael Hudson, author and economics professor, says they are certainly part of the reasons Occupy Wall Street is protesting, a movement he calls pre-revolutionary. Hudson characterizes OWS protesters as disillusioned with both political parties and says former President Bill Clinton is acting like a "slimeball " for suggesting OWS should work within the established political system.
