taking a stand on any issue since austerity has begun says to troika right to towson and not on their own. right on the money. i think for some people it probably was the straw that broke the camel's back was you know the sudden move in the street together. or are there are some. you know this is your own a little bit of power you can 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 ponies and they're never going to get them. was and we knew then this is being something different to something it's about water forced to foremost but it's also about much

more than war it's about the heart to be trailed the surrender of sovereignty and the redistribution of our west up words on 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 as it was a million liters a moment for a couple of people in my house i get all the time to travel so that's the reason for the missiles in ireland there were no meters to because it uses a completely different system of watch a building paid through general taxation. over a billion euros were set aside for water maintenance and operation some people

think those paper water through taxation is a little bit crazy we really only country in the o.e.c.d. that has zero water poverty and we're the only woman zero water poverty because we're the only one that pays for to progressive 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 it paying out general taxation and people who work would probably end up paying more taxes. we are losing forty seven percent of our treated water into the ground in leaks 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 spend not billion euro in

fixing the leaks and building a new war structure. despite water being paid for through general taxation no tax exemption was planned for the irish as a counterpoint for the new charges by satisfied. again and forcing more than made against abel's 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 privatisation. starts real to the centers of disease office and i would says of course we all know privatisation is ultimately envisaged. and then there was a letter from the centers of this example saying you're stuck you can say that

would you please take these words out of the report. so then the report came back to me was that the towards. following the examples of berlin and it's really a popular vote was planting greece in twenty fourteen the people of this in an e key 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. of the other but if you. thought about it a bit of those article it is likely it's a good idea that there's

a. they say that they did it and that if they then only seen it got it they make note of the enter into the school and the people who are making a little bit of this one of 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 it will not follow what i've said in the christmas numbers a lot of the couples are cheaper but the observers must go after going to the victim i believe you speak moment because making fun of the physical is going to get at them some of it is all about education like a little jelly that they do it like one of the kind with your new single in the endeavor but it was a bit of a donation ok we're going to be like what am i going to latch on to the same man that he's. a fellow might make me feel.

but our goal is to get to cope with as much about this if you tickle basis to say yes if a subtle nicky butt out in a prophecy to somebody needs to pick it up this committee none of them has unsteady support difficult given still if he has a couple they did a sting next year just to host the e.c.s. even if he's got a man in the city to call b.c. to put them all so all of them on a quest to build up some of the voted for them. the french president's emmanuelle mccall is on an official trip to athens he is accompanied by for. 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. because he got it while on the back of a because. i've been this is us the goddamn outlook you know but it abroad robbers had more years now and the left they'll grow. but often most focused on europe over to get a good piece of the stuff of the washable so there was a message that said there is to be a stock of that opinion if and when you haven't already have. killed the good ones that never give up on their plate or that of the. good that make it middle of the

apples to look that's very difficult. after getting into should be. in portugal fernandas 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 first then 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 bash. no but it is sort of feed. me but it says 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 realise it had lost all technical know how regarding water was released on my return started. i was born. in fact no wife but i can just give the world. the mirror of passions the farrier our britto witnessed the troubles in barcelona and tried to negotiate with the company new good because in no.

news little big out of the world look mr vehicle goes into google pretty uses of. course. the bus freedom at the leaf of. bison wasn't going to see. 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. they know what we need will 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 in 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 those that's what it has become tom logic on its head very very quickly because when the european commission offers a different opinion something else for example that apple corp older citizens of this country talked to bill talked in billion euro suddenly the ideology walks in there and suddenly the new liberal say that 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 the company over that i have done likewise is a go the demonstration is adopted 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 everything everything left in the hands of for profit companies . uhm.

a great or a good job with details coverage is the second time to see a doctor has walked out on strike the governor signed about issuing suspension. from around the world the increased warning level comes as a blow to the thousands of people displaced by the tsunami of wanting to return home. the rain started across afghanistan has dissipated now the next streak of cloud may not bring very much with it now will the actions been further west's cross the levant huge amount of rain has fallen in lebanon for example to the bekaa valley and snow but the forecast is a good one on thursday the sun is out the wind has stopped blowing the focus is actually further into mediterranean more like western turkey and this cloud down here might generate a shower or two but i think probably not very much you have got

a return of the likelihood of some snow in afghanistan that stretches beyond as well and it lasts for a day or so but then there's a big gap of sunshine and again we go back to the coast mediterranean and it's still looking fine and it's warmed up seventeen by drouet about ten in aleppo and beyond south of all this briefly there's a northerly breeze which tends to drop temperatures from kuwait down to the u.a.e. and that's the case here to the cloud apostles so i don't think it'll generate any showers and we're left with twenty one is a max and there are only eighteen in riyadh so bit of a chill regime and the wind is going to make it feel a little bit colder as well the big showers of late around way and zambia less than they were but look at madagascar if you can. in the next episode of science in a golden age i'll be exploring the contributions made by scholars during the
