ers have just gone through the lobbies with the Tories to support austerity cuts that will affect this place as well as down south. The cabinet secretary seems to forget that, from 2007 to 2011, she relied on the Tories to get a budget through. There is a partnership for you, cabinet secretary. I think that is called trying to find a straw to grass upon. Of course, Jackie Baillie was just a few minutes ago praising the Tories' record on the health service, so aligned and such a fan issue of the Tories' spending priorities down south. Let me come on to the health service, because it is a very important subject and one that is very dear to me. What an honour it is to be the cabinet secretary for health, but I do not, for a moment, underestimate the challenge. Duncan McNeill was right that there are challenges, there are real challenges going forward and ones that we absolutely, hopefully and sometimes collectively, take forward across this chamber. Let me be very clear that we are absolutely determined that all patients in Scotland should be treated as quickly and as effectively as possible with the right care in the right place at the right time. We have committed to increasing funding despite Scotland's fiscal resource budget being slashed in real terms by 10 per cent by Westminster since 2010. We have made sure that the health resource budget has increased by 4.6 per cent in real terms since 2010. That means more money for doctors, more money for nurses and more money for the health service. Next year, the health service will see an uplift of £380 million, which is £54 million greater than the Barnett consequentials allocated from Westminster. What does all that mean? It means more doctors, more nurses. Building on the 1700 additional nurses that are already delivered by this Government. Be under no illusion, we will protect the health service, but the £12 billion that will be allocated to health next year is a lot of money, but it is what we do with that money that is so important. That is why we need to look at redesign. One of the biggest changes of public sector reform that we have seen in a generation is the integration of health and social care, but we absolutely need to make sure that that integration leads to the better quality of service and integrated services that our older people in particular absolutely deserve to see. As I have said many times since becoming Cabinet Secretary for Health, we need to tackle some of the issues within our system. Tackling delayed discharge is my top priority, and we have been working very hard with partnerships over the past few weeks and months to make sure that we do that. Over the next few weeks and months, I will absolutely make sure that we get to the point of eradicating delayed discharge out of the system, because it means that beds are not being used for people who need them, and it means that the resources in the health service are not being delivered to the optimum that we need them to be delivered to. Yes, of course. Duncan McNeill. The Cabinet Secretary for Health and Sport has described lots of money going into the health service, but sometimes that can describe the chaotic nature of the health service and the fallow crisis rather than planned. Ten years ago, Malcolm Chisholm insigated the care review, and he recommended a more preventive approach. Campbell Christie did that five years ago. Measured against those proposals, are we achieving that shift from dealing with the day-to-day to the preventive to what we need to spend that money? There are some signs of that, but not enough, and we need to do more. When we come to talking about the 2020 vision, I will have more to say about that, because you are absolutely right. Any money that we lever in through integration has to lever the big change, because that integrated partnership will have £7.6 billion at its disposal across Scotland. That is a huge resource, so any money that we put into that system has to be about levering that shift of the balance of care. I am very happy to work with Duncan McNeill and anyone else on making sure that we see that happen. I want to use the rest of my time to try to respond to some of the points that are made in this debate. To Mary Fee, who unfortunately would not take interventions on that point, the issue of the so-called underspend just showed the paucity of the labour arguments. The fact that, despite Jackie Baillie being challenged with the facts, she would not accept that every penny of that underspend that could have been spent and redirected to public services has been done, the rest of the money cannot be transferred to public services. It is disingenuous. It is disingenuous in the extreme to pretend otherwise. As a finance spokesperson for the Labour Party, Jackie Baillie, it worries me incredibly that you think that money for student loans can somehow be redirected to public services. I will give you another chance to explain how you think that is possible. Jackie Baillie, the cabinet secretary should be very clear that the opportunity was lost to spend that money in-year when it was needed. There is no denying that. She has starved the NHS and others of money that they have required in-year by that underspend. Cabinet Secretary, once again, I remain members of the need to speak through the chair. Absolutely nonsense. You cannot spend money that is account-managed expenditure on other things as a finance spokesperson for the Labour Party. You should know that. If you do not have a grasp of those facts, it is very worrying for your party. However, hypocrisy is in the extreme as well, because, as has been said on a number of times during this debate, when you were a minister, Jackie Baillie, you presided over— Cabinet Secretary, please suggest you to match through the chair. When you were a minister in this Government, through the chair, when you were a minister in your Government, Jackie Baillie, you presided over £718 million being sent back to the Treasury. John Swinney has made sure that every penny of the underspend that can be directed to public services has been done so. Every penny has been transferred to public spending priorities, and quite rightly so. To Kevin Stewart, I very much welcome his welcome of the £65 million share for NHS Grampian. I think that it is really important that we addressed some of the old funding formula, hangover that was from our busnet through the NRAC formula. I am very proud that it has been this Government that has actually done that and made sure that NHS Grampian and others have the resources that they need. For those resources, let me be very clear that NHS Grampian and others have to start delivering on their targets and delivering improved patient care. It was interesting that Neil Findlay had a lot to say about pay policy, but at no point during his speech did he say anything about Labour's pay policy. What we do know about Labour's pay policy is what we know about Wales, the only place in the UK where Labour is in power. Let's look at what Labour has done. It did not implement the 1 per cent agenda for change pay rise for staff in Wales, so it says one thing when they are in Government and one thing when they are in Opposition, but their record speaks for itself. In conclusion, I am very happy to stand here in defence of our public services, because our record speaks for itself. The Oppositions, there is nothing there to speak for. Thank you very much. That concludes the debate on protecting public services, and it is now time to move on to the next item of business, which is consideration of motion number 11985, in the name of Jo FitzPatrick, on approval of SSI Public Services Reform Inspection and Monitoring of Prison Scotland Order 2014 draft. Could I ask members who wish to speak against this motion to press the request to speak buttons now, please? I call on Jo FitzPatrick to formally move motion number 11985. Many thanks. I have two members who are requesting to speak against the motion and tend to call them. I now call Margaret Mitchell. I rise to oppose this SSI, which, on the basis of the evidence to the Justice Committee, I firmly believe will not result in the establishment of a superior system for prison monitoring, whilst acknowledging that there are serious doubts about the proposed new system, and whether it will be OpCat, i.e., optional protocol to the convention against torture compliant, the Scottish Government is nonetheless proceeding merely because it doesn't want any further delays. OpCat's express purpose is to establish a system of unannounced and unrestricted visits to all places where persons are deprived of their liberty. To this end, state parties must guarantee the functional independence of the national preventative mechanisms, as well as the independence of their personnel. As the visiting committees were resourced by the Scottish Prison Service, they lacked functional independence and were therefore non OpCat compliant. A problem which could easily have been resolved by removing their functions to the public service ombasman. The committees, all of which were staffed by dedicated volunteers whose visits were all unannounced, could have then become a part of the UK national preventative mechanism, a view endorsed by Dr James McManus in his evidence to the Justice Committee. Instead, there has been a four-year delay during which time the Government's position has shifted dramatically from its seeming acceptance and approval of the coil review recommendations. Now, the system outlined in the order erodes the impartiality of independent prison monitors in at least two distinct ways. Firstly, in terms of the IPM's visiting arrangements, a rotor must be provided and agreed by both the prison monitoring coordinator and the prison governor. Additional IPM visits can be undertaken with the agreement of the coordinator, and only then, if time and resources permit, is the room for unannounced visits. Secondly, the internal complaints process tasks monitors with the responsibility of assisting prisoners with internal SPS complaints, thus creating a perception among prisoners that monitors are essentially part of the SPS and not independent. Presiding Officer, while there was room for improvement in the current visiting committees, if the order is approved by Parliament this evening, an inferior system will have been put in place. Quite simply, it is more important to get the independent monitoring of prisons right than to rush the order through, which is why I formally move against the SSI this evening. Many thanks, and I now call Alison McInnes. I can give you two minutes. Thank you very much. The Justice Committee's report on this SSI is laden with provisals and caveats and my view far too many for comfort. Regular rigorous independent scrutiny of our prisons is essential to ensure proper standards of care and decency are maintained. Those proposals do not ensure that monitors are truly independent. Instead, they will sit in a hierarchy with the work of independent prison monitors directed by salaried co-ordinators. They, in turn, are overseen by the chief inspector of prisons. Further compromising their independence, the monitors must undertake routine visits in accordance with the Rota agreed with the prison governor. There are significant concerns about the capacity of monitors to undertake an expanded range of duties, while the right to time off from employment to undertake monitoring is removed. There is also concern about the reluctance of the government to commit to at least a minimum number of monitors. The order also fails to protect the confidentiality of prisoners wishing to raise concerns with monitors. I too want the system to be upcat compliant sooner rather than later. Nevertheless, the shortcomings in the order highlighted by the Association of Visiting Committees, Howard Lee Scotland and the SHRC have to be heeded. Professor Andrew Coil, who reviewed the Government's initial ill judge plans, has concluded with considerable regret that this latest effort needs further amendment. We are asked too often to rely upon the Cabinet Secretary's willingness to monitor and respond to legislative shortcomings rather than to set them out first. Despite a number of attempts by the Government to get it right, members are today being invited to pass an order that we know to be deficient. Perhaps one last iteration with a new minister at the helm will bring a resolution that we can all support. Scottish Liberal Democrats will therefore oppose the order tonight. Many thanks, and I now call on Michael Matheson to respond. Five minutes maximum, please, Cabinet Secretary. Thank you, Presiding Officer. The order that Parliament is asked to approve today has been subject to significant consultation. There has also been examined by the Justice Committee, and I should say that I am grateful to the committee for that detailed consideration of the matter. The order meets our obligation under the UN convention against torture, upcat and the national preventative mechanism, which the current system of prison visiting does not. It establishes an independent monitoring service for Scottish prisons, ensures that all aspects of prisons are fully and independently monitored and provides a system where best practice can readily be identified and improvements made in relation to the conditions in prisons and the treatment of prisoners. There are a number of critical reasons why I believe that this chamber should today approve this order. The new system will deliver improved outcomes for prisoners and wider society. The current system of prison visiting committees is not as effective or efficient as it could be. There are significant inconsistencies across individual visiting committees, a lack of accountability and no ability to look at trends or share findings. The new system will introduce effective leadership and governance arrangements for monitoring that will be addressed in those areas. Independent prison monitoring's independence is secured through the oversight of the chief inspector of prisons. In addition, independent prison monitors will be given the power to visit the prison without prior notice at any time. Access to any part of the prison, speak with any prisoner privately and investigate any matter a prisoner brings to them. The new system provides the visits to be undertaken in three ways—to be arranged through a rotor agreed by the independent prison monitor and the prison monitoring coordinator and the prison governor, to be arranged between the independent prison monitor and the prison monitor coordinator, and to take place at the discretion of an IPM alone. Any concern that wholly unannounced visits may no longer take place are totally unfounded. It is also wrong to suggest that unannounced visits will be infrequent. The reason for allowing for visits to be agreed with governors is that this allows governors to raise specific issues that may be discussed and shared with the IPM or for the governor to be able to highlight to prisoners that an IPM will be available on a certain day. The reason for some visits being agreed with the PMC is to ensure co-ordination and appropriate frequency of visits. A combination of announced and unannounced visits is consistent with the practice shows by the European Subcommittee for the Prevention of Torture and the Principles of Opcat. A key element of the draft order is that it requires IPMs to visit each prison weekly. That will ensure a regular frequent visit of monitoring of what is going on in individual establishments across the whole of the country. The system will also be subject to regular review. The order requires the chief inspector of prisons to—I will give way to the member. I am grateful to the cabinet secretary for taking an intervention. I know that much progress was made during the discussions with the committee. I wonder if he would be able to repeat the assurance that he gave us that under review, if there are problems with the order, he would be prepared to return to that and amend it if necessary. The member is a good point because the order requires the chief inspector of prisoners to set up an advisory group to keep the effectiveness of monitoring under review. Membership of that advisory group will be at the discretion of the chief inspector, and he is indicated that it should have an independent chair and should include the Scottish Human Rights Commission. Of course, if there is any indication that there are difficulties with the present approach or deficiencies within the present approach, then, as a Government, we would be more than happy to reconsider those matters as and when they are highlighted to us. In closing, Presiding Officer, I would like to make clear that this Government is committed to delivering the best outcomes for prisoners, tackling inequalities where they exist and meeting our obligations under OPCAT. The order that this Parliament has been asked to approve today was approved by the Justice Committee seven votes to one. This will reform independent monitoring of our prisons and it will deliver better outcomes for prisoners. Many thanks. That concludes the debate on public services reform, inspection of the monetary prison Scotland order 2014 draft, and the question on this motion will be put at decision time to which we now come. There are five questions to be put today as a result of today's business, and I would wish to remind members that in relation to the debate on protecting public services, if the amendment in the name of Mary Fee is agreed, then the amendment in the name of Liam McArthur falls. The first question then is that amendment 12034.2 in the name of Mary Fee, which seeks to amend motion number 12034 in the name of Keith Brown on protecting public services, be agreed to. Are we agreed? Parliament is not agreed and therefore we will move to a vote. Members should cast their votes now, please. Order. The result of the vote on amendment number 12034.2 in the name of Mary Fee is as follows. Yes, 35. No, 78. There were two abstentions. The amendment is therefore not agreed to. Could I remind members that in relation to the debate on protecting public services, if the amendment in the name of Gavin Brown is agreed, then the amendment in the name of Liam McArthur falls. That brings us to the second question, which is that amendment 12034.3 in the name of Gavin Brown, which seeks to amend motion number 12034 in the name of Keith Brown on protecting public services, be agreed to. Are we all agreed? Parliament is not agreed and therefore we will now move to a vote. Members should cast their votes now, please. The result of the vote on amendment number 12034.3 in the name of Gavin Brown is as follows. Yes, 13. No, 65. There were 37 abstentions. The amendment is therefore not agreed to. That brings us to the third question, which is that amendment 12034.1 in the name of Liam McArthur, which seeks to amend motion number 12034 in the name of Keith Brown on protecting public services, be agreed to. Are we all agreed? Parliament is not agreed and therefore we will move to a vote. Members should cast their votes now, please. Order. The result of the vote on amendment number 12034.1 in the name of Liam McArthur is as follows. Yes, 39. No, 63. Sorry, there were 13 abstentions. The amendment is therefore not agreed to. That brings us to the next question, which is that motion 12034 in the name of Keith Brown on protecting public services, be agreed to. Are we all agreed? Parliament is not agreed and we will now move to a vote. Please vote now. Order. The result of the vote on motion 12034 in the name of Keith Brown is as follows. Yes, 60. No, 54. There were no abstentions. The motion is therefore agreed to. That brings us to the final question this evening, which is that motion 11985 in the name of Jo Fitzpatrick on approval of the public services reform, inspection and monitoring of prison Scotland order 2014 draft, be agreed to. Are we all agreed? Parliament is not agreed and therefore we will move to a vote. Members should please cast their votes now. Order. The result of the vote on motion 11985 in the name of Jo Fitzpatrick is as follows. Yes, 98. No, 17. There were no abstentions. The motion is therefore agreed to and that concludes decision time. We will now move on to members' business and could I ask members who are leaving the chamber to do so as quietly as possible please.


So YouTube team keep it clean. What's going on? It's engraving here with another video and in this video We need to talk about the game that we just finished watching between the Bills and the Steelers and that was quite a game, man That was quite a game and with that win over the Pittsburgh Steelers in Pittsburgh The Bills have secured a spot in the playoffs They got this spot they punched their ticket in and we know once you get in there anything can happen But anyway, this this game went about I Think it went just like we expected it to Going coming into this game. These were two teams that thrived off for the defenses Both teams defenses have been playing phenomena phenomenally. I can't even talk. It's a little bit late And I'm still a little bit tired from my trip But they both teams got after the quarterbacks both teams did not let those quarterbacks look comfortable Both teams were making a lot of stops in the run game, especially the Steelers like In this game. I was I saw the Bills running back not my gummary What's his last name again single Terry single Terry? I saw Bills running back single He kept trying to make all these jump cuts. He kept trying. He was really really trying He was really really but he couldn't find any room man. He just couldn't find any room. He couldn't He was he was struggling James kind of got off a little bit here and that's a tiny bit But he pretty much ain't really it was pretty much the same thing for him too, but from um, oh Bill like Tremaine Edmonds, I tweeted it during the game. I said, man, come on Ravens trade for him this off season Please can we trade for him this off season because that dude is just he's too good I didn't even know he was I didn't know he was this good I knew he was a high draft pick a first round draft pick and all that But I hadn't really been able to watch Bills like I've been able to watch them Obviously from when they played the Ravens a couple weeks ago But in this game too and I watched this guy and I literally see this guy everywhere everywhere everywhere So jeez, um He's amazing Josh Allen got him another rushing touchdown this game um Is his play sustainable? I'm not sure. Anyway, uh He let his team he let his team back Running game was suffering But he made a he made enough plays in the passing game, especially that night. That was a really nice throw I think that that throw I don't think it's gonna get talked about enough But I think that was a really nice throw to the tight end for the touchdown. Is it knocks I believe it's knocks, but whatever his name is. I think that was a really nice throw um Allen he yeah He now he was letting some sail Now in in the game when when he played my Ravens, so I got to watch him for a full four quarter straight. No interruptions Um, he was letting them sail in that game, but I was thinking. Okay. Maybe it's the wind Maybe it's the wind But no, it wasn't the wind This game clarified that and could it be because his receivers are a little bit smaller? Um Now the interception that he threw I don't think that was on him That I think that's more on cold beasley than josh allen because josh allen put it to where cold beasley could have got it He put his hands on it and he didn't just like Tip it he he got his hands on it. He could have caught that ball, man He could have caught that ball. Um josh allen didn't set him up to get hit He put it up there now. He did make him jump for but cold beasley could have got that and then You know still is still still is don't if a ball gets tipped still is gonna pick it off every single time They always do that. It's like every still is game that I that I get to watch It's always a tip drill pick every time never fails Um, but yeah, they their defense man Both teams defenses again. They were just they were hitting they were not letting the opposing team run the ball on them Um, very very very very very very physical very physical Uh hodges, what can we say about hodges? Man, um him and james washington seem to have that that little connection And they they they had it from the beginning of the game and then toward the end of the game They kind of uh, they kind of rekindled rekindled that flame. They kind of got that spark back Uh, but then yeah, the bills end up putting that fire out With that and how many interceptions did he throw? I know tredavious white got to I think hide got what? What did they were like four picks tonight? And oh the one that tredavious white car was it was so pretty It was so pretty the one that he caught And it was running down the sideline and it almost got a pick six, but again that proves Just and I know we're bouncing all over the place in this one But that play with tredavious white with that pick that should have been a picks it Well, almost I can't say should have been a pick six, but with almost a pick six That shows you just how good these defenses are because He put the bills in great position Great position They could have just they could have got a touch. Nope. Not on a stealers defense dealer say no not today Not today And I believe on on that second interception that he got I believe that the stealers held I believe they held But this was a low scoring affair and we didn't expect it to be any other way any other way Now I know they I know they did lose but There still does need to be discussion and Ben Rothesburg. Oh my goodness. He's he's just he's Before he was as big as a house now. He's about as big as an apartment complex, but I know they lost tonight They'll probably still make the playoffs cool because they the stealers played the Jets and then they played the Ravens Uh, and we'll see what happens with the Ravens if they decided because Ravens that week 17 game It could mean a lot. It could mean a little we'll see but um, they still played the Jets First so first things first, but anyway, like I was saying, um, even though they did lose tonight For the stealers to actually be in the thick of things when it comes to the playoff race For them having lost their starting quarterback. And yeah, they had Mason Rudolph who they drafted. I think last year um in the second round, I believe but for them to not really have a definite plan of the future in place And to lose their quarterback out of nowhere For them to be where they are right now fighting for a playoff spot And at one time they were even fighting for the division, but they just simply couldn't catch the Ravens. And now it's impossible But for them to be where they are right now, you got to give credit To Mike Tomlin and Mike Tomlin has done some things that I I do not respect that as a fan of the game Not even coming from a Ravens fan, but as a fan of the game the whole stepping on the field thing. Oh boy, I thought that was just That was pitiful That was pitiful but anyway, um You got to give it to him, man You got to give it to him because he has this team Getting ready He has this team in a position where nobody thought they would be at Nobody thought they would be at and I remember when I said um in a video early early on in the season I think when when when Ben Routhisberger first went down I said you can't count the Steelers out but At the same time I was thinking like hmm. I just don't see it not this year. No No Ben no Ben Routhisberger. No I just but now that they are literally in a position to where they could make it to the playoffs And I believe all they had all they would have to do is win one game out of their next two Against either the Jets or the Ravens. They had to win one game And I think they'll be in I believe they will be in but If if anybody could say they saw that coming from how this Steelers season started out Well, my friend you you are a genius if you saw that So he definitely got to be a candidate for a coach of the year Just because of the scenario what they had to go through to get where they at And then the bills the bills from last season Uh drastically improved 10 win season now. They got 10 when they got double-digit wins the bills Like they they really were trying to turn this thing around up there And they really want to try to compete in that a fc east They close with the Patriots. I are they I believe they are still in play for the division. I believe But Patriots if bills were to get the division Patriots, we have to lose I believe the next two and bills will have to win the next two for the bills to get it So we'll see what happens. I know Patriots got bills in dolphins bills have Patriots and I don't remember who the other team they play is but This this was a playoff game This was a playoff game right here This was a playoff game And a for the for the a fc teams They haven't technically started but the playoffs have kind of started already Because you've already seen a bunch of potential playoff matchups. You've seen a lot already And just in the past couple of weeks alone So this thing the seeding is coming it's coming right down to it And obviously for nfc too, but AFC is coming right down to it and this is gonna be um It's gonna be quite the playoff season Wow, we only got two more weeks left of the season Two more weeks left and that's it. That's it That's it Shout out to bills defense for closing it out Um, it looked like bills were gonna let this one slip Especially on that last punt they did. Oh boy When when when Pittsburgh were bringing the house and when when Buffalo was first lining up to punt the ball said oh boy Here they go I said here these dudes good.  They're gonna go for two But They almost got the pump block, but they didn't get it blocked Um And that's that's another thing Pittsburgh they thought the good the wildcat stuff That's not for you That's not I know they want to spark on their offense, but that's No, that's not for you Anyway team keep it clean appreciate y'all. I love y'all I will see y'all tomorrow. We got a lot to talk about tomorrow We got a lot to talk about tomorrow Especially before 4 p.m. If you know what I'm saying. Love y'all appreciate y'all and I'm out


O alcalde de Medellín, o alcalde de Quito, pocas presentaciones necesitan. Esta é unha conversación de 25-30 minutos, na medida en que eu não tenho que intervenir mucho, mejor. Esta é su conversación, o tema que temos sobre a mesa AVIDA3. AVIDA3, Conferencia de Naciones Unidas sobre Vivienda e Desarrollo Urbano Sostenible. Un reto para as cidades, se va a celebrar en Quito o próximo mes de octubre, ou seja, o alcalde teme que conocer bem o que se trata, porque se não... Puede que no octubre as coisas não vayan demasiado bien. Em esa reunión se va a hablar de uma nova agenda para os próximos 20 anos. A conferencia de la qual estamos hablando teme su origen nos anos 70. Vamos a ir directo ao tema. Ustedes como alcaldes, con esos retos de sostenibilidade, hay que recordar, América Latina es una de las zonas máis urbanizadas del planeta. Hay tres de las megaurbes máis importantes del mundo. Buenos Aires, Sao Paulo e México, Bogotá, muitos dos presentes la conocen porque está aquí, en es la capital de Colombia, non está muy lejos, Río de Janeiro también. Con que retos se enfrentan en este reto de sostenibilidade para acercarse a esos objetivos de AVIDA3? Bono primeiro, moi bonas tardes. Quiero empezar agradeciendo. La invitación es un honor estar nuevamente visitando esta hermosa Ciudad de Medellín, que es un bradero ejemplo de innovación para toda América Latina e que gusto, además, poder compartir este panel con su alcalde. Federico, muchas gracias por as specialidades. Bueno, nosotros primeiro que nada estamos realmente honrados en Quito de ser la sede de la Conferencia Mundial de Naciones Unidas sobre desarrollo urbano sostenible AVIDA3, misma que va a marcar el rumbo de los procesos de urbanismo a nivel mundial para los próximos 20 años. Es importante entender que esta es una conferencia que se realiza cada 20 años e por eso es de enorme importancia. O objetivo de la conferencia es consensuar la nueva agenda urbana poniendo como centro del debate el derecho a la ciudad, el derecho de las personas a disfrutar del ambiente urbano. El año pasado se definieron 17 the urban environment. Now, two of those goals that have been set number 11 and number 13 have a direct relationship with the cities. 11 talks about building cities and communities that are sustainable. That means that we have the challenge of making our cities safe, equitable, inclusive, resilient and sustainable while objective for goal 13 talks about climate change at the urban level. I think that Habitat 3 will be a unique opportunity for cities to strengthen their role in the construction of the new urban agenda. Let us remember that these types of conferences in the past were reserved for the exclusive participation of the states but cities now have a voice and that is something very positive and we believe that Habitat 3 will represent an ideal juncture to reflect the vision of Latin America in the construction of this new urban agenda so that we can execute it and implement it ideally. When we talk about sustainable development, the debate is deep to meet the needs of today without sacrificing those of the future generations. What is Medellín doing to ensure the right of future generations? If we look in terms of urban growth, which is inevitable, something that is happening in Latin America, we are saying that 80% of the population live today in urban cores of the city. If we talk about 2030, we say that 85% of the population will be in urban areas. Today we have issues that we still have not solved. So the question is how do we anticipate to it, so how can we anticipate those events so that we can prevent these problems in the future. When we talk about sustainability and the care for the environment, there are things that are absolutely necessary. We talk about transportation, sustainable mobility, impacts on the quality of life of persons but also of the environment, issues that have to do with housing, but housing around the equipment and no more creation of suburbia or ghettos where people don't have the culture of public utilities. I would concentrate on the first one, which is one of the big debts that we have in Latin America and which has come into all our cities. If there is something that generates social gaps and which should generate sustainability, it is the way that we move.   So if we talk about sustainable cities, the integrated mass transit systems play a very important role, the restructuring of the collective transportation systems are very important. We've been working very hard at the city, but we still need more when we make those decisions, but we do so with clean fuels with systems like the metro, the metro cables, all those mass transit systems are definitely the way to improve the health of people even. And I close with this piece of data many times you talk about pollution and the quality of air, and you think, when will it be that our city is going to collapse because of the lack of clean air? Now in March, for example, we had an environmental emergency and we have to reformulate the way that we move the kind of fuels that we use. I think that there are issues that are absolutely necessary in the agenda of Latin American cities like mobile cities. For example, we have to create a debate about urban security. Security is nothing that belongs to the right or to the left. It's not a question of ideology, crime is crime. And we have to do a lot of social investment. You have two cities that are very close in number, population Medellín 3.8 million in the metropolitan area and Ecuador 2.0 in Quito 2.6. Is it easier to integrate mass transit systems in medium-sized cities like yours? And is it harder in large cities? What is your experience? Well, we are convinced just like Federico of the importance of heading toward a sustainable mobility axis. But the execution of a sustainable development agenda should not be applied only adequately, but it should be measured adequately. In that sense in Quito we have established systems to measure the carbon footprint, which allows us to prepare a baseline to measure a baseline. And we have established an agenda of actions to reduce that footprint. What are these actions? Well, in the first place we just mentioned a sustainable mobility in Quito we have begun the construction of the first metro line which no doubt will become the central axis of an integrated mass transit system which will be supplemented with a system of cable cars like the one that Medellín has. And in Quito we will begin the first line and then the second line. And that is supplemented by DRT systems, a public transportation system through an exclusive lane. And we have decided that everything, that this is all an operation that is going to allow us to reduce by approximately 150,000 tons of carbon, the existing footprint because by a 56% the footprint in Quito corresponds to mobility. Until that is where we must focus our greatest efforts. This action is supplemented with a scheme of integral handling of waste, of decontamination of rivers, of preservation of natural areas. Today we have approximately 150,000 hectares in the Metropolitan District of Quito declared as natural protected areas. We hope to get to 300,000 hectares and with that we will be capturing 10 billion tons of carbon. I would like the Mayor of Medellín to answer this question also so that we know what he's planning. What was it that curbed in Medellín the fact that the transportation model, the cable cars and everything that has become benchmarks for other cities in Colombia and other cities in Latin America? What curbed its development? What made it be not that fast? Well, I think that restructuring the transportation system, the public transportation system is a question of political will. Now those who finance the politicians are the operators of urban transportation. It was clear to us that we wanted the transportation in the cities and we did not receive one peso from those who are interested in the collective public transportation system. The city has made wonderful progress in everything that has to do with the lines that are supplementary to the metro. Each mayor must find the best system when we talk about the expansion of the metro. We're not only just talking about the metro, but about different transportation systems according to the topography to the terrain. Now you've seen our city, it's a valley surrounded by mountains and that in 1970, from 1970 on that made us grow towards the ages in high risk areas where it's not a sustainable model. And so the first cable car system was done in the northeast but the idea is not to do these projects as such and independently but to make them be consolidated. They have the social investment must be done in education in public utilities but we must know how to grow the city. Should we continue growing and expanding or should we grow toward the inside of the city where there's transportation and infrastructure? What is your bet, the expansive one or no cities cannot continue to grow toward the outside? We have to use the transportation lines that we have. Yeah, but accompanied by reduction in the quality of life, not necessarily. As long as you have transportation systems and the necessary equipment in public space that is where definitely a strategy works and where housing is key. My mother used to tell me not having a house does not make you rich but not having makes you very poor but this is not just giving a house to somebody who lives in a public space. In Latin America for example we have made mistakes thinking that with expansion areas and we are going to solve the problems because we are creating entire cities with no good utilities, with no good equipment and what we're doing is expanding the issues. The problem so that is why having those plans is key but those execution projects and most surely the one that Mauricio has been executing and Quito is going to give them great benefits, social benefits. Now we're seeing another metrocable that is on its way. We are going to do the Picacho Avenue so these are projects that are going to impact very much. Your mother was very wise and now we're talking about security. If you allow me I would like to talk about urban planning which I think is a fundamental tool for sustainable development. We have a unique juncture in Quito and it's this transformation that we are creating in the mass transit system which allows us a new vision of urban planning based on the diversification that Federico was mentioning which is the new trend instead of having cities that are expanding we should concentrate them and make them grow from bottom up. Now we are going to reward those buildings that are next to the next stations of the public transportation system so that they can grow more if they meet criteria of co-eficiency saving of energy and also that contribute landscaping to the city. In the past normally you required a minimum number of parking spaces. Now a maximum number of parking spaces so that there's not many you generate centralities around these new poles of public transportation centralities where people can live, can work, can go shopping, can go to the park, can go to the museum and go educate themselves in a relatively small amount of land so that you reduce the travel times and that is reflected in better quality of life and less pollution when you stimulate the use of public transportation that is why we are going to reward the buildings that are close to the new public transportation stations hoping that they are tall buildings and that their inhabitants do the most amount of activities close to the stations and that they use the public transportation systems. This is a planned way to reach development. Concentración can also bring many issues if it doesn't guarantee a safe or secure system if citizens don't feel secure. Obviously that does not help the quality of life of the inhabitants. How have you faced the challenge of security in the cities taking into account also that we are in Medellín a city whose past is still marks it in the collective imaginarium and so the challenge of security I would like a comment from each one of you about the challenge of security. Well although security has to do with a complex network of factors of course the city governments can do a lot in the struggle and they can do so by rescuing the public space. You mean more police? Well not necessarily, maybe one of the elements but maybe more useful would be to rescue spaces which are dark and neglected where crime is committed and turn them into spaces with adequate infrastructure understanding that wherever there are citizens co-existence or civilized citizens they will attract fun and relaxation of the families and making the spaces safe. Now Medellín for example has these cable cars that we are implementing and keep going that can contribute that type of benefit because it's not only the cable car it's all the urban recompensation that the use of cable cars implies and that helps to the recovery of the public space. I got Mayor Gutiérrez well that past was very painful for us and just to give you some figures what we experienced in 1991 had 381 crimes for 100,000 inhabitants no city in the world experienced what Medellín experienced and we don't want to experience it either I think that it has touched bare bottom and it's been very difficult to get to where we are now that we have world economic form now that we have all of you visiting us from that past we put soil on top of that past but we have not forgotten it but social investment is key to continue reaching areas where the state was not present that is absolutely necessary but we have to also understand that there are structures of organized crime that we have to combat how do we combat organized crime not only having more and more and more police there's a key issue in Latin America and here it's got to be a big struggle and it's a struggle against corruption if you don't combat corruption if you don't have reliable institutions it's going to be very difficult to get out of that situation today Medellín is at a rate of 18 homicides per every 100,000 hour goal this year is to continue reducing it to 15 but some elements such as justice are key articulated efforts in the case of Colombia between the prosecutor's office the police and the army and also civilians but we cannot think that depending on that security depends on the ideology sometimes it happened to me in Mexico I would ask the mayors if it was a right wing mayor he said oh lots of police if it was a leftist mayor he said no I will only do the social part because I don't believe in the police now if there is no integral strategy you will never have a secure city that is what citizens are claiming more and more and I think that these changes are key technology is key also but there is no doubt that justice justice is one of those topics where we have to have an actual change mayor unemployment plays an important role in this problem of insecurity because it is said that if you are unemployed that you can turn rogue well yes it's very very important to generate more and better jobs it is very important for us to make progress toward a good education and that is why many years strategy is key from the standpoint of beginning well handling children between zero and five years of age teaching them the values from the beginning and relevance of the education we offer children is absolutely key being competitive is absolutely key continue to invest in activities related to innovation science and technology and there is something that for many is fundamental and I see some people here I see Manuel Santiago here among other people and what has actually made the difference here is that there is a very articulated work between the private companies and universities and the government for us that is been key so against and against and against unemployment well we have to work for competitiveness but we also have to create an environment that offers jobs that offers security and a competitive environment that really depends on clear signs of legal stability and we have to also offer concrete incentives to the private sector on a permanent basis we have to talk permanently to the private sector we must understand that the public sector must be an ally of the private sector we all together we have to look for the best solutions we also believe that there are mechanisms that can be terribly productive to improve the unemployment situation for example public private associations that is actually key that is an aspect where Latin America has been growing in some countries more than others I think that we must improve the regulatory framework for these PPAs but it's an ideal option to offer on the best hand better infrastructure better service to the citizens encourage participation of the private company and then generate more jobs and then I am going to ask you a last question and then we will open the floor up for a Q&A session about drugs criminalization not criminalization or neither well it's a complex debate at least talk about my city I think we're still not prepared to decriminalize the drugs I think that we have to make a very deep and well thought analysis and once there is a better consensus and awareness among the citizens we might think about it Mayor Gutiérrez well it's a problem of public health and it arrives in a public order situation as long as there is a debate on the criminalization for example in Colombia the minimum dose of marijuana is now approved but what do we do we have to persecute these different networks we have to create secure environments around schools for example but we have to give it a public health focus that for us is que we cannot treat the same person the same we have to make a difference between a drug addict and a drug distributor here we have to talk about education and the model of education and it is what is happening in Latin America the responsibility for the children is it up only to the state or is it the families people tend to think that they deliver the children to the state and they get them back when they turn 18 no that is not true the education of children has to be the responsibility of schools and of parents equally and Mauricio also mentioned something that I think is key for the development of sustainable cities having sustainable cities is costly it's more costly now to have them but we need that urgently due to the climate change if we sit there and wait until we have the public resources we will never do the big transformations what Mauricio mentions about the PPAs is key we need to create these alliances and we need the actual tools to do it in this development plan for example almost 15% of resources will be required through PPAs we have 40 projects already defined where we have invited the private sector to participate we talk about 1.89 1000 million or 1.89 billion pesos but for there to be PPAs you need drugs you need a good entrepreneurial environment now let us open the floor for some question for the question session I have more questions but I promise that I would give the audience the possibility of interacting with the with our mayors your name and a very brief question Lina Mesquita from Guatemala City I would like to ask both of you maybe not cities but as a global perspective what happens will we have to at a given point in the growth of our population of our cities do we have to establish maximum parking spaces do we need to get there because at a given point the density in those concentrations that you talk about is going to be impossible and what are we going to do at the world level when we get to that point in the curve well I think that evidently we must begin imposing limits gradually but at the same time we must improve the alternatives that citizens have I think it's difficult to establish harsh restrictions if we don't offer a good quality transformation system so that is why we have to establish those types of restrictions to the extent that we generate actual alternative in the cities in the world where most population uses public transportation they do it because it's a quality service and because it is a quality service it's possible to disincentivate the use of private cars but the restrictions are not the only mechanism but that is a process where we have to quickly make progress and we have to make progress with firmness and enthusiasm obviously encouraging the participation of citizens but not only for the use of mass transit systems but also that system of non-motor devices like bicycles for example bicycles connect not only with conventional bicycles but we are one of the few cities in the world where we have incorporated electric bicycles despite of the fact that our city is in the middle of mountains with very steep streets and those discourage 20 people from using bicycles today thanks to electric bicycles we have women we have elderly people using those in many unions of bicycles yes and there's gonna be many more and you have restrictions ok so I'm going to answer the question I think the best way to discourage the use of private transportation is through by improving and providing excellent public transportation systems the tramway, the metro all those mass transit systems we are going to build 80 new kilometers in 4 years for example today we have 1500 bicycles using our streets and our goal is to reach a situation where we think not only of the city but the metropolitan area we cannot continue thinking only as an independent city the metropolitan areas are absolutely the key when it comes to mobility but we need to make the decisions and make progress today we have a good understanding with the 10 mayors of the area it's the same air that we all breathe we all pollute and also citizen culture is key for sustainable cities and why because we all say another thing is that pollution is so bad but we all pollute we are all part of the city so I think that it's key to turn citizens into allies ok we have run out of time for this chat and I want to ask you about what you would like as mayors with your experience what would be the new agenda what would you like the new agenda for Habitat 3 to include what are you going to have Santa for well there is something very concrete that I have been suggesting for many years I think that it's positive to include for the first time the local mayors in the agenda I think it's logical but we should go beyond if we have had a voice in the construction of the new urban agenda now we need a concrete and institutionalized role in the execution and in the follow up of the agenda internationally and I refer specifically to the UN scheme I think that it's high time that local governments have a concrete specific and effective role in the UN system regarding the execution and follow up the preparation and follow up of the new agenda because otherwise it's going to be very difficult for mayors to do anything in that sense and that is going to benefit not only the city and sustainable development but also the UN system itself which is going to become more legitimate after 50 years evidently it requires a reform because it is not responding to the new to the modern reality mayor and with you we will close ok I think we know what is going to happen in Quito they are going to have an agenda considering the importance of mayors influencing the type of cities that we want for people cities for people where first you have the pedestrian then the biker then public transportation and finally goods and private transportation that defines the type of cities that we want all the commitments regarding climate change where the governments have been acquiring commitments a model of economy and an inclusive growth model which is a big discussion of this forum the importance of education the quality of education the access to good quality jobs social innovation whereas which is so fundamental in the big discussion in Latin America which is urban security urban security is where we have to work very hard but urban security comes in a combination of many of these strategies social strategies and control regarding crime and crime is not domestic only crime in Latin America is mutating permanently crime seeks to have more and more territorial control not only of a city but a full of entire countries phenomena like micro extortion those are things that we need to discuss in detail and that discussion we may have later on well thank you to you both mayors for your comments I'm not in my script but I would say that you both have the cities in the center of your plans thank you very much


This is Chris Pike, and after it's come a big see. I'm back again guys, today we got some more featured on freedom all year. We're gonna be featuring three videos with three channels today guys, and like I said in my last couple videos, if you want to get into the competition or if you just want to get in and get selected, well all you gotta do is submit a link to a video that you want us to watch. Now I recommend not just submitting the link and by the way if you submit a link and it's a proper video, I will approve it. I approve all comments in all videos. It's just how we roll. But here's the thing guys, I recommend that you write a short description of what the video is about, why it's good, why people should watch, because you know if we get a thousand views or two thousand views on a video and all the people read the comments, hey there's a whole bunch more people that could come to your channel. So the better your description, the better. So take the extra time and do that in my opinion. Now today's selection's a little different than in the past. Heartbeat as you probably know has pick a winner feature, not this kind of pick a winner, but a real pick a winner. So we can pick winners at random. So today I selected three winners and I used the heartbeat tool. You'll notice it behind me so that if you guys are like, hey how do I know we picked them randomly? Well there you go, it's on Camtasia. I screen captured it. So anyways guys, that's how we're picking them right now. Let me know if you think that's a good way. Do you like it if we go through them all and pick the three best or the three that we like best? Or do you like the random, you know, you got a three in 10 chance or three in 20 chance or whatever it is guys. Let me know in the comments below and leave links to your videos. Awesome. All right, that out of the way, let's get into today's three winners. All right guys, the first winner as you can see from that Camtasia was random gaming. Yep, he left the video and yes, great channel, quite like it. There's a cool mix going on in that channel. Some old, some new. The video he left was a Dark Siders 2 video. That's an old school game, 2012, which I never played it, but I thought about playing it. And yeah guys, check out his channel. There's a lot of stuff going on there. Here's some of the clips or here's some of the best parts of what I like about his Dark Sider 2 video. Okay, I was cornered. Sometimes, like it wants me to go in the bubble. Oh, I feel so much better. Dark Avenger, the weapon once belonged to human warrior, known as the Draven during Catalyst duels, the weapon absorbed Draven's own rage and thirst of the revenge against the one who wronged him. All right bird, bird, leave, leave things alone. Just in the sale of the room.   All right, pretty good stuff. I also really like his channel art. It's worth it. Just taking a look at that. That is channel art or banner art done correctly. All right guys, the second channel is Gyrocon's Gameplay. That's alliteration or is that assonance? One of those two, alliteration. I think it's alliteration. Rhyming, yeah, consonance. Not really rhyming, but they sound whatever. Guys, I got my grade nine. I'm an educated man. Guys, Gyrocon's Gameplay, like the channel, like his stuff. He plays mostly Minecraft and Black Ops 3 zombie mode right now, but it looks like he had a six-month hiatus where he did lots of gameplay videos, took some time off. Who knows why? Maybe he was in jail. No, that would have been me, but whatever. He's back. He's rolling. He submitted a link, and yeah, let's do this guys. So let's check out Gyrocon's Gameplay with some zombie Black Ops 3 go. Is up guys. This is your boy Gyrocon here. Not to be revived. What the freak? No one revived him?  No. No. Well, it's time to become the beast. I'm not sure what the starting line of this game is guys. So do not ask me about that, but I feel like this game is pretty epic guys. Boom, headshot. Oh, thank you, Johnny. No, no, Johnny. No. Johnny, I will avenge you, Johnny. Yeah, the only word, and I should have warned you guys. Yeah, he has a, he uses some very colorful language. So if that's not your thing, you might not want to click on his channel. If you don't mind the odd swear word. Yeah, he's got you covered. All right guys, the third and final winner for today is League of Gamers and Entertainment. This is a league, guys. They're in their own league. Okay, that was a horrible joke, but whatever. You know how it works. League of Entertainers and Gamers are gamers and entertainers. Same thing. Guys, I like this channel. This channel's got a lot of cool stuff going on here. Here's what I like about it. I like their Top 5 Gameboy Advance videos. Their N64 games that they chose. Top 5 badasses in gaming period, although I don't know if I agree with their selections, but whatever, guys. They got it going on there. And if you're not in the Top 5 mood, well, they've got some tutorials too. How to use Bandicam to do some screen capture, how to record Android devices. Really good stuff, guys. So definitely check out this video. Now, finally, with that out of the way, guys, remember to submit your links in the friggin' comments below. Yeah, I'm just gonna go in and approve them. Not only will I approve them all, keep in mind that any link that's on another channel gets you a backlink. And that is looked at by Google and YouTube as a thumbs up. So you're getting some free search engine optimization backlinking going on too. So anyways, guys, that's the least we can do. Check me out tomorrow. I got another video coming up. Enjoy the videos, and I'll be back soon. Big see. Check it out.   Have a cigar. I don't smoke. You are absent without leave. This is your one chance to come home peacefully.
