people have good quality or were. these in the wrong and protected these are the men we thought would be performed. for those who knew what was in the contract of the sale for berlin's water company which had been kept secret there was only one course of action to make them public then german citizens would know that they themselves had guaranteed profits to two private companies for thirty years. the time. to visit. the contracts could only be made public through a state referendum which all political parties try to stop. that's what to do what would once have i got up a who then b.

however it paid an enormous price for one point three billion euros. the holocaust saw him in a spot as it. were mainly due to the fact that water had been privatized first this i still believe it's not mine. but the. yes. i. really. just you. know me supposing this official. peace. making. me more i get this thing back in your beer bottle of. tea you know our union army can make given the. whole mess is never of the.

heart and mind. is behind water products. i think that the european commission would be very very good to impose water privatization on anybody if they only could. we let's remember to organize in the way that the think it's more efficient so boards public and private ownership are possible so that we have an official says the that this to be a top quality safe for the boards of two of the states is. going to be in their patience. to help and i really think. i mean what are the three. nobody of us who believe in.

i could be voted. present. in a historic nationwide referendum was held concerning the privatization of water services . the berlusconi government's plans to privatized the water supply was voted down by a massive ninety five percent of its value voters. the reason why we had this referendum is because the business government two years before before a law that was forcing. anybody that management is in there as there will be somebody. to sell out at least fifty but so of the states become pennies for all the public said not only was there. a

few weeks after the italian referendum. and mario draghi the departing and incoming directors of the european central bank sent a secret letter to berlusconi the letter was made public by the courier newspaper and reminds berlusconi of certain key measures the e.c.b. was expecting from its city. these were structural reforms in favor of complete liberalization of local public services through large scale privatization. this secret letterhead major consequences as the european central bank has no power to enforce specific policies on any member state. it was a judgment the judgment of the. absolutely dramatic circumstances where forty percent of the g.d.p.

of the. attack. one of. the berlusconi government did in fact implements many of the measures proposed in the letter it also tried covertly to reintroduce provisions for the privatization of water which the italian people had voted down in the referendum the course official court intervenes and no you cannot rein traduce. legal provisions to being repealed as a result of a referral. this prompted european commissioner olli rand to write another letter to berlusconi seeking clarification. bob austin just. really hasn't done you have found a really doesn't tell you that. i

remember the first time i walked into the newsroom and it felt like being in the general assembly of the united nations because it's so many nationalities. just come different places but it's what that gives us that gives us the ability to identify people who may live the other side of the world but we can understand what it's like to have a different perspective and i think that is a strength for al-jazeera. in a four part series a russian filmmaker travels across his homeland to discover what life is like under putin many russians view push him into somebody with a difficult job rather than an authoritarian leader with imperial ambition and many critics of putting equally critical of the west meeting with russians from across the political spectrum andrey next wrestle discovers a complex attitude towards that country's leader and his policies in search of

these are. all. large scale privatization features heavily in the known agreements that the troika imposes on every creek government the athens and thessaloniki water companies are always on their list. yannis mahal a case is a journalist but in twenty eleven was spokesman for the greek new democracy party he then became minister of interior for the rightwing government formed by at the in twenty twelve. in the same year the government's minimum holding percentage in the two largest water companies was abolished by law paving the way for their complete privatization. thought if you tickle bees. with that of them one of your it to. them is the. get out.

let me let me give me up every bit of houston. with i mean they're. just getting up to it and they can yell. after nikoli the school know of us accuse them of the good kind of us that it was because of the people and i'm still curious if you look good enough to come out as a. good officer for the board in making all the measures these. are the live in the superdome is a political. facility keys water supplier is a profitable public company that provides cheap watchers to over half a million households five point four six percent of it already belongs to differential multinational sou-s. . like you my goodness where's there's not

rescale reste for the bulk of myself at least it ought to she barely fit lissett when you have to and will not cover them up after c.b.s. said this is your particular bar. bar increases there are dead. fashion. there's a particular. democratic schill this. ability if you know putin is fifty. and then on water privatization officially it's not the commission's policy as mississippi is stating however it's true if you don't look at the troika it's and if you look at the memorandum of understanding between for example the troika and portugal the commission as part of the troika is asking to further privatized

across the portugal so in the troika the commission is still pushing for privatization so if it is really human right and if you really are serious to the citizens at today's initiative we should start acting on policies instead of the celebration. it could not. see here but if it is on the wish will soon include. the slow. people vigilant and you were to. simply. put in a cd of a property or even. like. the european water movement believes that water is the fundamental universal right . it's ruutu all the ran at the european commission highlighting that the main institutions wrongly apply pressure to the southern european countries to

privatized water and that this has to stop. a few months later the commission replied saying that it believes the privatization of public utilities including quater supply firms can deliver benefits to the society one carefully made. today after. lunch was as they counted a duffer to cosign. said you never. accepted on the city best able to locate it was optimal. enormous economic every nothing. of a thought about it that. little honey seen you but i shift the bureau. and

by day. this is your bridge you know that. is. supreme divine suki we could. leave the assume the. city is to look. very serious while. all. this. when the troika came to ireland they wanted to privatized the water utility. but there was no water utility. the water was sprayed into of the seven local authorities sold they were told or government by the troika to build one the i was government set up a company called irish water which began installing meters. aside to people's homes . on divorce protests took place.

in scots of the city of cork gloria woman went out in the morning and said you're not putting up either inside my house. i told them they won't come into this trash we didn't want the water meters and that was arrested. within an hour or two there was a mass of support of people here to stop them. and this was the first time that the irish people had taken a stand on any issue since austerity had begun says to troika right to towson do not. go with. me. i think for some people it probably was the straw that broke the camel's back. you know all of a sudden moving the street together. or are. you

know this is see we're only a little bit of power you can't go and funk to try but you can stand to thank your folks and there's your polar and and it like it might be traders and we're still not finished but people are still resisting this because it is the one thing that they have power and they're never going to get them. and we knew that this is being something different to something. it's about water force two foremost but it's also about much more than war it's about the hurt to be trailed the surrender of sovereignty and the redistribution of our west operatives and their debt downwards.

there is a problem with the leaks and we couldn't find them until we have brought in some measures so if i see my solution suddenly it's this is a million liters a month for a couple of people in my house i call ducktown patrol so that's the reason for the new cells in ireland there were no meters to because it's uses a completely different system of watcher billing paid through general taxation. over a billion euros were set aside for water maintenance and operation so we would think those paper water through taxation is a little bit crazy we really only country in the o.e.c.d. . it has zero wall poverty i we're the only one with the a lot of poverty because we only want to pay as richard was a general taxation that's the one thing we got right we'll keep it that. we really need to modernize our water structure so now we really have to invest.

so we need a structure to invest we need to wage borrowed money and then we need a way to pay for us paying our general types ations people who work would probably end up paying more tax. we are losing forty seven percent of our street and wall into the ground uniques before it gets to the top. now by the billion euro to spend do i choose to spend it on meters or do i choose to stand up billion euro in fixing the leaks and building a new or obstruction. despite being paid for through general taxation no tax exemption was planned for the irish as a counterpoint for the new charges i see i just watched. again forcing more than me against the evils worse as many irish people feared they would end up paying for

watcher twice they saw the proposed introduction of meters and charges as yet another austerity measure and the establishment of irish water as a first step towards water privatized ation. you trust us real. central citizens office and i mean it says of course we all know privatisation is ultimately envisaged. and then there was a letter from the central statistics office in your start you can say that would you please take these words out of the report. so then the report came back we were stuck with the words god.

following the examples of berlin and it's really a popular vote was planting greece in twenty fourteen the people of the saloniki were asked to take part in a non-binding referendum on whether they were in favor of the government's proposed privatisation of the water company but they were faced with a last minute problem. october if you. thought about it a bit of a little bit is lovely it's a good idea that there's a. they say that they're there and that if they then only see the got it they make note of the enter into the school and the people who are making a little bit of this the minister of the interior here yeah like east sent out a letter to the minister polities to declare the referendum illegal then then it got to topeka mccann and it will not follow what i've said in the christmas numbers

a lot of the couples are cheaper but they will save as much thought after going to the victim i believe the speed limit of course make a sort of physical is going to go to them some of it is all about it because when they get it will generally they do it like one of the kind of your new single you know endeavor but it was a little ahead of me him ok we're going to be like what am i going to last and all i had was a man that you. know might make me feel. but our goal is to get to cope with as much about this if you tickle basis to say yes a facade of making but i get up officer to somebody needs to be good at this chemical none of us unsteady support difficult given system if we as a couple they did still next year because the whole should be if it is serious even

if she's got a man in the city to call b.c. to put them on all sort of them on a place to put up some of the border for them. the french president's emmanuelle mccall is on an official trip to athens he is accompanied by forty. the french businessmen who are interested in the greek privatized program. they will have the opportunity to receive answers directly from the prime minister of greece alexis tsipras. amongst them is john luis assad's c.e.o. office aware. of any part of hell of problem. for us because we got it while on the back of a because. i've been this is

a map of us the goddamn outlook you know but it abroad robert how the more you know and the left bell brought up. the. butterfly most focused on europe over the beautiful piece of the stuff of the washington there was a message that said there is should be a stock of that opinion if the year didn't already have been killed the good ones that never get up on their plate or that october did not make it middle of the apples to look that's very difficult. after getting into should be. in portugal fernandez became minister of the environment in the newly formed left

wing government in the twenty fifteen elections water policy would soon change. oculus latest movie deal a first there was the vs what the believe it is. but that yeah it is in this movie c.b.s. did they call sawyer was. the vice. no but it is sort of feed. me but this is that we will see them. unfortunately the government washes its hands of privatisation cases according to portugal's constitution municipalities are autonomous and the state is forbidden from intervening by syllabus and passions defended i have to get high on their own . the mayor of bar stalest has been left to deal with the compensation charge of one hundred seventy two million

euros to the group of private water companies the municipality also realize it had lost all technical know how regarding water was released on my return started. i was born. in fact. just to give the world. the mayor of passions the farrier britto witnessed the troubles in barcelona and tried to negotiate with the company knew could not be missed because in no seems news that a big out of the world look must be a good little girls and good are pretty uses of. girls who are on the bus freedom at their leisure the. bison wasn't going to send.

every of nowhere. oh you know me. activists against water charges often patrol this neighborhood of cork when they find an irish water crew installing meters they do what they can to stop the. you know what we need mean no. nothing has been set in stone yet but the commission keeps pushing ireland to comply with the community directive in order to impose meters and water charges on its citizens there is this principle which is. framed in the water directive that the polluters should be so there should be a direct responsibility of this cannot be done with a general exception obviously faced with unprecedented public disobedience the government is trying to maneuver through public discontent and the demands to

impose water charges from brussels what are trying to do you know in a small way they would say has to happen because the european union told us it has to happen because detroit at all us that's what it has become tom logical ahead very very quickly because when the european commission offers a different opinion something else for example the apple corporation older citizens of this country talked to bill talked in billion euro suddenly the ideology walks in there and suddenly the new liberal say the european commission it's only an opinion we're part of europe but it doesn't it doesn't take away our ability to make our own decisions in relation to how we tax how can the european commission take away our ability to make our own decisions in relation to water. for an opinion of the very same body and the very same people alone sucks to be her own decisions in relation to give an apple

a thirteen billion year old gift well all you have to do is look at who profits to explain those contradictions where asking people to stick with the comp to help from the government i have democracy is about the demonstration isn't done it's a family friendly demonstration here it's about money money is the bottom line you're going to be date but it's not just not an option and it's too important it's much too important to everybody everything left in the hands of for profit companies. cooper who. how. he was i was how to cook. was you was all of

these situations and all of the peoples of europe need to start having an honest conversation with each other. like to cuba. russia europe people are saying you know. enough is enough. here we have our social europe by. the. net. thank you was was who come to her you are. was. your favorite car. you know who was it r s come up oh no more fool who would. prefer to see only because. i always knew a lot of people think we almost want this i know you are the right. thank you

it's been delay after delay and patience is wearing thin people in the democratic republic of congo were first promised election results on sunday now some time next week joseph kabila has clung on to his presidency since his term ended two years ago despite that he says he will step down after seventeen years in power he hopes emmanuel rahman son is shaddai would take his place a man who played a role in the violent suppression of opposition protest in two thousand and seventeen shut hari is up against two main opposition from promise for more oil executive mushing failure on the son of the late opposition leader felix just. to the united nations security council held a closed door meeting with representatives calling for transparency in the election results we call on all actors for call and restraint the

olding of these consultations underlines to wheel of the security council to maintain a very attentive monitoring of the electoral process but opposition members are suspicious of delays due to possible results tampering. the coalition. against any attempt to change the results posted in front of the polling stations and hold it responsible consequences. it's been the election fraught with issues there's been violence on the streets out of vote he was caught up in three opposition strongholds benny but temple and he'll be him. government officials say it was due to security concerns and in the outbreak that many saw that as an excuse to disrupt elections and just days before the election a blaze broke out in a warehouse in the capitol. disjoint thousands of voting machines the u.s.

president mike pence jared cushion or the president's son in law and close advisor and kiersten nielsen who is the secretary of homeland security met for about two hours on saturday afternoon with congressional aides talking about this government shutdown the vice president said that these talks on saturday were productive however president trump tweeted that the two sides really didn't make much headway now the vice president is going to be continuing these talks while president trump is going to be meeting with some of his senior aides at camp david presidential retreat treat meanwhile house speaker nancy pelosi announced that house democrats are going to be meeting next week to pass individual appropriations bills that would reopen some agencies including the department of treasury and the i.r.s. so the government could begin processing income tax returns and get income tax refunds back in the hands of americans now this shutdown if it goes another week

that would be three weeks and it would make it the longest shutdown in u.s. history and while the politicians continue to argue eight hundred thousand government workers are still going with all the not working at all that's creating a knock on effect for essential services across the country some transportation security agents who screen passengers at airports have been calling in sick because they don't want to work without pay the program providing food assistance to some thirty eight million low income americans could face drastic cuts if the shutdown continues also starting levels at the national parks have been severely reduced the government has decided to keep most parks open however so far three people have died in accidents at the parks since the shutdown began political analyst says the partial shutdown is going to have a devastating effects on workers and their communities. if this shutdown goes

another week this will be the first time within the shutdown that federal workers are not receiving paychecks and so think about that you have now that the holidays are over college students are going back to school and you have parents who are not working and so the question becomes do they pay mortgages or do they pay college tuition do they pay for groceries or do they pay utilities and so these are some of the bread and butter issues that people are faced with now as this shutdown continues to lome and they hear the president say that this shutdown he could take the shutdown for a year or four years that i'm sure has many workers hitting the panic button on how they were actually survive going forward because when you look at those eight hundred thousand employees many of those eight hundred thousand employees are not within washington d.c. they're scattered throughout the country and so think about small businesses think about food trucks that may set up around government offices or building and though
