Hot Cities:Dubai & London, and Control of Speech in Russia

I watched two TV seires, Hot Cities "Dubai & London" and Control of Speech in Russsia. I was impressed.
Dubai has been developed with the government policy. There are many beautiful buildings by huge oil maney, but the prices of materials and labor has been boosted. Some lack of money has been happned recently.
London has been recovered by foriegn money, especially Russia, Middle East and South Asia. Mayor of London had allowed to invest from any foriegn money and labor, but the mayor lost the election in May. The new mayor has conservative agenda of the investmants and labor from foreign countries. I thought football funs would be still the labor level, but the lowest entrance fee is over $100!! It's expensive!! There are not such expensive professional sports in Japan.
In addition, I also watched Control of Speech by the Putin administration. Russia pressures all anti-Putin policies. There was an example on the Hot Cities series. A Russia business man in London was pressured by the Russia government.
Everything goes around the world...
