London in the fog of unemployment

Scourge of any economic crisis - mass unemployment. This year in the UK could lose their jobs of about 600 thousand people. This figure will be a record, if we take into account the period since 1991.In Britain, even there was a special prayer for the laid-off staff. It is designed to comfort those who have lost their jobs, and includes, inter alia, the following words: "Hear me when I cry unto thee in their confusion, help me to think clearly and to comfort my soul." She was born and another prayer - on behalf of those who do not lose their jobs, but whose colleagues or friends have been laid off, "Among these uncertainties, help me to keep a job, to work to the best and keep up with the whole deal every day."

London

Five of the poorest areas of London, from the worst:

1. Hackney, South East Inner London. It is home to the greatest, in percentage terms, the number of people of working age who receive social security, as well as pensioners receiving the minimum pension, and the unemployed. In this area, the worst performance on the life expectancy and the number of citizens do not work. Not favorable situation with housing: in Hackney one of the worst performance by the number of overcrowded homes, a lot of people are homeless.

2. In second place is another southern boroughs, Newham, the indicators of which practically do not differ much from that of Hackney. The unemployment rate is slightly lower, but higher than the mortality rate of newborns. Critical situation with the provision of housing: Newhame in the number of families who have lost due to one reason or another shelter, even higher than in Hackney.

3. The third place on our list is Southwark: the situation with unemployment, pay benefits, and housing is a little better, but the average level of education of the population is lower than in the previous two parts.

4. Fourth place was divided between Islington and Tower Hamlets, which, it should be noted, also belong to the south-east of the Inner London. In Islington worse situation with unemployment, education and the number of families who lost their homes. In Tower Hamlets about the same as the unemployment situation, a little above the level of education, but below the average life expectancy.

5. And our antireyting closes again southeast borough Haringey. The situation here is the average for all indicators is slightly better than our previous "participants", but the mortality rate among infants and families who lost their homes, there are still very high.

The end!

Homeless

Number of homeless in London is growing. The number of homeless people in London has increased over the past year by 43 percent. By 82 percent in two years increased the number of families with children living in the British capital in temporary shelters. Increase in the number of homeless people in London authorities explain the reduction of state financing of municipal councils and thus cuts funds going to pay for social housing. Today in the capital in a hotel-type shelters - bed and breakfast - live 885 families with children. The only way out of this situation in the Federation see new housing affordable, both to gain in private ownership and for rent.

In London, homeless people earn a tour of the city.

The Product

Article from a newspaper in London.

Carl Benjamin*, Young person

11-year old Carl Benjamin lives on one of the most deprived estates in the UK. He dreams of being a doctor when he's older, but is worried that all the trouble on his estate and in his school might stop him from reaching his dream. Since learning about Crimestoppers, he feels a bit safer with the knowledge that he can do something about crime.

“A lot of the gangs in my area like play-fighting, so sometimes we don't know when it's serious or not. I see them trying to scare other people a lot, with their dogs or using fake knives. Once I saw someone who had a needle pushed into the end of a pencil. I think he was using it to threaten people so they'd give him money.

"You get used to living with a lot of crime. I've had to run away from drunkards and people high on drugs lots of times because they've been chasing me. We always have drug dealers hanging around in our back garden too. They're always messing up the garden and smashing our windows.

"I'm mostly worried about knife crime or seeing strangers on my estate. Knives are so easy to buy that anyone can have them and use them to attack you. And if I see someone I don't recognise on my estate, I get quite scared, cos people don't come to our estate unless they want trouble.

"I've never thought about going to the police about crime on our estate – I wasn't sure if they'd take me seriously. But if I called Crimestoppers, I wouldn't worry about that because they wouldn't even have to see me or know who I am.”

London air pollution killed 4267 people a year.

According to the calculations in Greater London in 2008, air pollution prematurely killed 4267 people (risk groups: young children, the elderly, people with asthma, heart and lung diseases).

The main pollutants - nitrogen dioxide and dust (PM10), the main source of pollution - transport.

These data confirm previously published data: in the UK from air pollution prematurely killed 50 thousand people a year.

Gangsters from London's East End

A series of photos Joslin Bain Hogg - shocking chronicle of the life of modern gangsters. "I quickly realized - said Hogg - that is the whole world, of which nothing is known." Work on the project for two years. Black-and-white photographs depicted entertainment, funeral, love scenes in those seemingly now just can not be. Nevertheless, they exist.

Mayor of London "Clean air" includes many other things, including: the use on roads of central London which is "suppression of dust," the introduction of an age limit for taxis, the transformation of London to the capital of electric vehicles (create 25 thousand jobs to charge to 2015).

As a result, it is assumed that premature deaths from air pollution in London will fall by 30 percent.
