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 2 private companies for 30 years. you would sign. the contracts could only be made public through a state referendum which all political parties try to stop. that's what you do would want once have i got. the who then be in the flawed thinking who do have them 1st. leaps on the shifts guy i'm. going to school since that was how they are getting it done for to spend enough to fasten skittishness

really does not either shout only it will fly again on piece of old autistic you will become. and bite on the. did all their lives. as a result of the referendum the berlin state government was forced to take back the berlin water company into public ownership in 24 team. boy however it paid an enormous price for $1300000000.00 euros.

the harley costs. were mainly due to the fact that water had been privatized 1st this i still believe it's not mine. but the. really. just you. know me supposing this official. peace. making. me more i could. be a better left. me. he. almost never will be. with you your 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 both public and private ownership are possible so that we have an official says the that distribute high quality safer fish and affordable water as well the state is. going to put it. in their patients. and everybody. i mean once every 3. ill we are not evil. i could say that it is the best ever 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 95 percent of its value voters. the reason why we had this referendum is because the. government 2 years before before passed a law that was forcing. anybody management of the police. to sell out at least 50 percent of the state's become pennies for all the public said this is not only water. 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 qur'an 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 states. it was a judgment the judgment of the. what was necessary in this absolutely dramatic circumstances where 40 percent of the g.d.p. of the. was under 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 constitutional court intervened and said no you cannot range reduce. legal provisions to obey and repeal as a result of a refresh. this prompted european commissioner of the iran to write another letter to berlusconi seeking clarification. you know let's use a ball we bob austin just want to fill marriage really doesn't tell you have found a man usually doesn't tell you look around and. talk to al jazeera. we ask problems of the signs of the instability is corruption

we listen been ziad and bins are pushing the united states and president trump into conflict we meet with global newsmakers and talk about the stories that matter. it's 50 years since the world watched as u.s. astronauts lost set off on a mission many thought impossible or whatever then marveled as they made those 1st uncertain steps. are. now joining us as we look at the ingenuity and those who made the journey on 11 possible. the moon landing 50 years on and she's here in new special insulation in the case to have. police department has the potential to be biased in a number of different ways there are too many opportunities for the computer to get . in those offices or commit those data entry is wrong to be saying that your son

the issue now is wrong to. kill becoming a suspect before the actual crime and in-depth examination into preventative policing pre-crime on al-jazeera. was. i know i'm in london the headlines now the u.k. says 2 vessels one british flagged in the other british owed have been seized by iran in the strait of hormuz iran's revolutionary guard said they captured the british oil tankers stana and para because it was not complying with the international maritime laws the company that manages it says it was unable to contact the crew after it was approached by small craft and a helicopter the u.k.

foreign secretary has described the seizures as an acceptable well the us president donald trump is said he will reach out to the u.k. to discuss the situation we'll talk to the u.k. we have no written agreement but we have agreed with a bit of very great ally of ours so we heard about it we heard it was one we heard it was to. go we'll be working with the u.k. they'll have a new bribery is here which is a good thing and we'll be working with the u.k. but we have no right to grieve it but i think we have an agreement which is long standing it comes on the same day as a court granted the british territory of gibraltar the right to detain an iranian tank as suspected of smuggling oil to syria and that detention will has been extended for another 30 days. iranian state t.v. ad footage it was says was filmed by a drone the u.s. claims to have shot down iran's revolutionary guard says the video proves the

return to its base contradicting u.s. president donald trump's claim on day. south africa's corruption watchdog says it has found that president obama posted deliberately misled parliament when questioned about the 27000 donation to his party campaign fund from a pose and said he knew nothing of a 35 $1000.00 donation all vying for the governing policies top job. thousands of algerians returned to the streets once again demanding a change of government it seemed 22nd week of protests there they want a complete political overhaul that the ruling elite held to account for corruption . and that the supreme court in the netherlands has ruled that dutch peacekeepers were partly liable for the deaths of 350 muslim refugees they handed over to bosnian serb forces in srebrenica in 1995 a case might set an international legal precedent for countries which contribute troops to peacekeeping operations more on all those stories coming up in the news

hour at $2100.00 g.m.t. i will see you then in about 30 minutes time. watcher is the driving force of life and natural resource that is scarce and to which 110th of people on earth have no access. the question of its management has become a major factor it's becoming more mobile because highly profitable highly tradable those people who see everything as something to invest and profit of they want to. be one door. this is it this summer you have to get is it but this one is the another. so yes

you put them it's in there yeah it's got us your best yet you see that you're on board or. did you not look at that. and there who are not mix is. going to do your. group i mean is the party that we're going to prevent this will see that this is the exact city in a mall or. in a local mall that's your dildo or it don't dawdle then these are all peaceful says it. all is up and of. large scale privatizing mission 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 2011 was spokesman for the greek new democracy party he then became minister of interior for the right wing government formed by at the nice time i asked him 2012. in the same year the government's minimum holding percentage in the 2 largest water companies was abolished by law paving the way for their complete privatization. thought if you tickle bees in the quarter but. that of them will not be your head to. look up for most of it made perfect by the us butt out. let me i'm going to have everybody here isn't. but i mean they're. just getting out and they can yell accordion. after nikolay the school. of us accused of being a kind of us that it was because of the people and i'm still a baby and curiously screwed up enough this i'm going to lose an analytical daucus over the board in making all the measures lease says it is you know that i live in

the superdome is a political. facility keys water supplier is a profitable public company that provides cheap water to over half a 1000000 households 5.46 percent of it already belongs to the french multinational suez. well it's like oh my goodness where is bastion of the banks and i guess of course understand your do you see simple message billy bob settles down on the last minute because a lot of those only get out of the mill not as an. aid to help is greece's largest water company supplying water to 5500000 people. we know but they look at the awful and or hear it saved up. joe all hallow's by

not ending as their lives get it it will look pretty good as the mean above especially their helmet on a rebel fellow man at least with us you know i'm almost immerses never a break in is the bottom up of the just tell venomous way things like elizabeth you might get. people to the strong grass roots them all so they better not let the heels of boston. reste so the bulk of myself at least that it ought to she. said this is your particular. increases that are dead.

there's a particular. collective democratic schill this. if you know putin is a city. and on water privatization officially it's not the commission's policy misstep because he's 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 board to go 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 and to this initiative we should start acting on policies instead of celebration. it does not.

seem to prefer to use on that which will soon go. slow but of course it will return to your. simple. putting c d of a properly. program of that i 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 when carefully made.

their. bunch was as they counted a duffer because i. said you never. accepted on the city best able to outfit it was not well. secured comic every year the database of about it there are diggers a little needy senior but i shift the bureau. and up by day. this is your bridge you know that. is. divorce you can you could you will see. libya. the national. is the result was always a very serious one. when

the troika came to ireland they wanted to privatized the water utility. but there was no water utility. the water was sprayed in toward the 7 local authorities so today we're told our government by the troika to build on the i was going to set up a company called irish water. which began installing meters. aside to people's homes. on divorce protests took place and told her and scouts of the city of cork loreal woman went out in the morning and said you are not putting up either inside my house. i told them they were coming to this trash who didn't want the water meters and that was arrested.

within an hour or 2 there was a mass of support of people here to stop them. and this was the 1st time that the irish people had taken a stand on any issue since austerity had begun says to troika write to towson and not. because. i thought it was a really great job. 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. there are. you know this is your only little bit of power you can go and funk to try but you can stand to thank your folks there's your polar and and it like it might be tree here is 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.

and we knew that this is being something different is how 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 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 a 1000000 liters a month for a couple of people in my house i call ducktown patrol so that's the reason for the nationals in ireland there were no meters to because it's uses

a completely different system of watcher billing paid through general taxation. over a 1000000000 euros were set aside for water maintenance and operation so people think those paper water through taxation is a little bit crazy we really only country in the o.e.c.d. that has 0 war poverty and we're the only one with 0 water poverty because we're the only one that pays for triple us a general taxation that's the one thing we got right we'll keep it. we really need to modernize our water structure so now we really have to and. 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 type stations people who work would probably end up paying more tax. than we are losing 47 percent of our treated water into the ground in leaks before it gets to the top. number of

a 1000000000 euro to spend do i choose to spend it on meters or do i choose to spend not 1000000000 euro in fixing the leaks and building a new or obstruction. despite water being paid for through general taxation no tax exemption was planned for the irish as a counterpoint for the new charges i saw yes i watched. the 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 1st step towards water privatisation. stuffs rule to the centers of this office and i have it says of course we all know

privatisation is ultimately envisaged. and then there was a letter from the central statistics office and here is that you can say that will you please take these words out of the report. so then the report came back to me was that the word cult. following the examples of berlin and it's really a popular votes was planting greece in 2014. 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. but over here. the thought of it goes a little bit is likely to take somebody there to say they say that they're there if they didn't receive the gottlieb's they could not go to the ends needlessly and the people who are making a little bit of this is the minister of the interior here yeah like east sent out a letter to the minister politics to declare the referendum illegal then the mic at the top you can a kind of a door knob what i've said in the christmas numbers a lot of the couples are cheaper but they will save as moscow after going to the victim i believe the speed limit of course making sort of a physical is going to go to them some of it as well apparently because when they get to the jolly the guy who is like one of the kind of your needs you know you know the government is a little ahead of me here healing what you know what i want and i'm going to last all that i had was a man that he. might

make me feel. but article so that to cope with as much about this if you tickle bases to say office i don't need to but i've been up officer to somebody it's a bit of this gimmicky none of us unsteady supportive of the convinced of this feels like a baby to stay next year but is the host easy 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 the money push to build up some of the budget for the. thank the french president's emmanuelle mccall is on an official trip to athens he is accompanied by. 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 sean luis assad's c.e.o. office aware. of any part of hell of a problem. because he got on the back of my because. i've been this is. the goddamn outlook you know but it had more years now and the left bell brought out. the. butterfly most focused don't give up over the beautiful piece of the stock of the washington there was a message that if there is should be

a stock up. here with years ago and already they have. killed the good ones that you never give up on their plate or that october did not make it because of the apple she took that's political. after getting into tradition. in portugal fernandez became minister of the environment in the newly formed left wing government in the 2015 elections water policy would soon change. oculus lotus will deal a 1st time as the vs bought the believe it is a corporate image that yeah it is the. only c.p.u. she could cause. the bash.

nope it is a sort of e that was nearly c this is that we will see that. 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 syllables and passions defended our have to get by on their own. the mayor of bar stalest has been left to deal with the compensation charge of 172000000 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 start except all of. us i was born. in fact know by spark your c.v. if that's where. the mayor of passion. brito

witnessed the troubles in barcelona and tried to negotiate with the company new good north east began to sing no seems new is not a big out of the world mr the americans and good are pretty uses of. course. the past freedom at the leaf of the world by ship wasn't going to see. yes. 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 when we know. 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 yes that's what it us but they can tunnel logical ahead very very quickly because when the european commission offers a different opinion something else for example the apple corporation all the

citizens of this country talked to bill talked in 1000000000 euro. some of 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 meet our own decisions in relation to how we tax how can do 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 allows us to be her own decisions in relation to give an apple a 13000000000 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 them get over the $5.00 a gallon the demonstration isn't done and it's apparently friendly demonstration like it's about money money is the bottom line you're going to be date without water it's not it's not an option and it's to part and it's much too important

everything everything left in the hands of for profit companies. it was cuttin. who how this. was i was how you how i was you was all of these situations and all of the peoples of europe need to stop having an honest conversation with each other like to go to. russia europe people are saying you know. enough is enough. we have our social. net kook

us how he thinks of you who are who you are who. was. in your car you know who c was yes come up no not more fool who would. prefer to see only because. obviously a lot of people think we almost want this guy you know walk the run so who was who he was who who who ooo. ooo.

who who ooo. day of bitter warm wouldn't go amiss with it and that should be the promise for adelaide science which we've had cold to dry she fed has told me weather in this part of a sort of ticky tells me in bits of victoria well that's the picture for saturday 19 degrees in the warm breeze of the interior it will feel quite nice in melbourne maybe not quite so good in hobart having had overnight rain per 16 well it looks promising and in the sunshine will be ok but that's a bit of

other british and this is iranian state television as footage it says disproves donald trump's claim that a u.s. warship destroyed an iranian drone. also coming up on the program he's on a drive to clean up politics but south africa's proper unwashed as president on the pose a misled parliament over a campaign donation. and the netherlands highest court rules that dashed peacekeepers with 10 percent liable for $350.00 deaths and business trip or not so massacre. i don't peter symonds overall with your school embitter all scenes of jubilation in algeria i think of a lone goal of the cynical enough to whom the old jew reinstates sick of africa cup of nations truckers in. the u.k. says iran has seized 2 or oil tankers one british flag the british own in the

straits of hormuz iran's revolutionary guard said they had captured the british flag stana and pair o. because it was not complying with international maritime laws the company that manages the vessel said it had been unable to contact the vessel and it was heading north towards iran and iranian news agency says the 2nd vessel the meds dar has now been allowed to. leave iranian waters off to being given a warning well this comes on the same day a court granted your bro the right to detain an iranian oil tanker for another 30 days in the british territory seize the grace one vessel earlier this month accusing iran of trying to smuggle oil into syria in breach of international sanctions iran denies the allegations and some into iran threaten to seize british ships in retaliation and iranian state t.v. has aired footage it says was filmed by a drone the u.s. claims to have destroyed revolutionary guard says the video proves the aircraft

returned to its base that contradicts u.s. president donald trump's claim on thursday that a u.s. warship shot down the drone in the strait of hormuz trumps at the action was defensive because the drone came within 100 meters of the vessel and subsequently ignored calls for it to stand down. well we are following the story closely with our correspondents in the iranian capital tehran also in washington we're looking at developments there as well 1st a door suggest bari and so do we have any more information on the sequence all of events today obviously you have to time because one british flag the other british own but slightly sort of diverging developments. yes we have heard from the revolutionary guards media relations department they released a statement saying that they have indeed seize this british flag tanker at the

stern. rather a cent per imperio because there was an incident according to local officials in the southern hormones gone province where this vessel hit a fishing boat and therefore there was a series of warnings given to this vessel but there was no reply and it was apparently also traveling in the wrong direction and it was it had turned off all tracking devices the iranian revolutionary guard maritime units had said that they gave a few warnings there was no response and they decided to seize it the have since taken this vessel to the port city of ground that up last week 233 crewmembers on board we are waiting to find out of course the nationalities of those crew members and what the rains are going to do next this is something the rainy and we're not prepared to do they were angry about the grace one seizure as you mentioned earlier this month in the strait of gibraltar with was carrying 2000000 barrels of iranian

oil the british government sees that vessel because they said it was heading to syria which is under a number of e.u. sanctions but the rain ian said that was not the destination and they are demanding the release of the grace one tanker. and we're also having contradictory statements from iran in the. states about the destruction of an iranian drone with explicit iranian denials now followed up by footage that's been an ad that they say disproves trump's claims. yes apparently this footage that aired a few hours ago by the revolutionary guards aerospace division shows a surveillance drone apparently this is standard procedure for this unit in the strait of hormuz when any foreign vessels enter to pass through the strait of hormuz the iranian revolutionary guard sent out these drones to monitor the movements of the ships this was the case on thursday morning this strong was sent

out where it came very close to this u.s.s. boxer vessel and that the iranians said that for over 3 hours it monitored the ship's movement and got very close and tracked all the equipment that was on on this vessel as well and the revolutionary guard said that there was no point in which there was any confrontation between the drone and this u.s. warship they said that the claims made by the u.s. government are absolute lies and that this drone returned to its base without any incident and they say release this footage as evidence to show what u.s. president donald trump has said earlier is an absolute lie and q with the latest from to iran dulcet joe bari well the u.s. president on all trump has said that he intends now to reach out to the u.k. to discuss the latest situation in the gulf will talk to the u.k. we have no degree of it but we haven't agreed with that but

a very great ally of ours so we heard about it we heard it was one we heard it was to. do a we'll be working with the you gave no i have a new prime minister 0 which is a good thing and will be working with the u.k. but we have no real degree of it but i think we have an agreement which is longstanding. or rosalynn jordan is live for us in washington and joins us now and so clearly the u.s. is wading into this increasing dispute between the u.k. and iran how much is this likely to ratchet up the tensions even more. well it certainly isn't helping the situation mari and in fact this is all happening on a day when u.s. officials had indicated they were going to unveil a plan where u.s. navy vessels would escort commercial vessels in the gulf in order to well protect them from what the u.s. considers iranian harassment that presentation did not happen on friday as u.s.

officials had indicated they would do so certainly this is a situation where the secretary of state mike paan peo said during a press availability and went inside us on friday that the u.s. is very much watching iranian behavior but that it is still very much interested in working with iran to resolve the u.s. his concerns about iran's nuclear ambitions the president in that commentary that we just shared with our audience also indicated that he had asked after all a u.s. senator to help be involved in any potential talks but so far this is all very amorphous there isn't anything concrete actually being pursued but the underlying message from the united states is that the emphasis is still on trying to resolve this crisis diplomatically even though the u.s.

is very keen to underscore that it does have the military power to try to force a resolution if it did come to that whether or not that would be popular with the international community or in fact with u.s. citizens themselves is a whole other discussion to be had thank you very much with all the night us from washington rosalyn joe and bring us reaction that what we want to discuss this further now with our it's called peace a senior fellow at the center for american progress and a former u.s. assistant secretary of defense so clearly an escalation in tensions over while oil tank has in the gulf all we're likely to see then a continuation of these. close encounters between iran and u.k. and u.s. military forces. i think we will because obviously iran felt that they had to respond after the u.k. seized their tanker last week by claiming it violated the european union sanctions

of house on the oil too odd to syria obviously since we said the drone over toward iran which they shot down about a month ago on not surprised that they have drones monitoring u.s. ships i think is this goes on the u.s. or to do what it did back in the eighty's why re flagging a lot of these tankers to make sure that the iranians don't continue to attack them because then they would be attacking our being not the united states but eventually this thing we have to be careful it doesn't get out of hand i don't think either i want to know what the terror. from to what some of these things could relate with because the i.r.g.c. is not exactly. on the same page as for example clarke ministers repos in new york talking about starting the go she ations again. right so in the mention that we had

a farm in assam how much of a very fit is in new york and while negotiations seem a distant prospect given the gap between the 2 sides could these recent tensions in the gulf perhaps another way all of the caring as much leverage as possible ahead of some such have dialogue. well there's no doubt about it because the iranians don't want to come back to the table unless all the sanctions are lifted because they're causing a horrible problem saw in a rat on the other hand the united states wants to get some indication from iran that they would be merely to make some modifications for example on the ballistic ballistic missiles so it's important that we get back to the negotiating table the french of dried the japanese and dry maybe we can get the russians to do to get involved in iraq because they're obviously deeply involved in syria and

they'd like the launch control of the agreement so i guess we need done and the only good thing here is trump those not want to war because he has so porter's a telegram if you do this is going to really hurt your election chances because he campaigned to get us out of these middle east wars president might not want to war but the problem is that 2 members of his cabinet such as national security of life and john bolton that particularly want to go shake hands either no they don't but i thought was interesting to go back in north korea when the president after the g. 20 meeting went over to north korea to see chairman kim john bolton was actually in mongolia the only took a spam really so i think he doesn't pay as much attention as presidents normally would to the national security team in fact he said that several several times i think both provide.
