a warning message though about that strategy they look back to 216 and one of the reasons that trump won in this incredibly close election was because the vote was down in african-american communities and hispanic communities polls show that his racist tweets and comments are hurting his support among african-americans and hispanics so what some analysts are warning while the president is firing up his own base his core support hasn't moved he's also fired up the base on the other side. well it's more still to come on al-jazeera you can call central american countries a promising to try to stop people looking for a better life in the u.s. plus. i'm a colleague obviated buckra and i'll play what's being done to upgrade iraq impress record 13 rely more on its own production rather than import.

containing high fluoride levels sticks to the animal bones when put through a filter instead of harming human bones the process to make the bone charred takes weeks. we're inside the furnace and as you can imagine it smells awful and here it smells like death they just look the flame and these bones will essentially be baking at temperatures of 350 degrees celsius for at least 10 days until these bones are whittled down into bone char. the char is then ground sifted and washed if fluoride levels are too high a more expensive chemical alternative is provided half of the battle with this program has been convincing communities that it's safe to drink water filtered by bones what i'm in most on we take this product to the local community we were facing challenges and they asked if this was a muslim or christian slaughterhouse we finally convinced them that this was only from cattle. the chart is then brought to rural communities to be added to water

arrived it was once again deficient with less rain falls and expects. 600000000 andean that's nearly hof the population are facing acute shortage of us. despite economic growth in recent years it remains. unequal societies in the world and that inequality can be seen in people's access to life's most basic necessity. while swimming pools in luxury hotels remain full 3 quarters of the population don't have drinking water at home. the effects of the drought is seen most clearly in rural india. 300000 farmers have killed themselves

in the past 25 years and many more have deserted their crops to move to cities in search of work leaving behind the elderly. today on talk to al jazeera we travel to one of india's worst affected regions in the state of maharashtra to look at the impact the drought is having on people. this is the moment a village is wait for sometimes for days the arrival of a truck carrying a tank of water. the desperate scramble for one of life's most basic necessities. women men and children calm on top of the truck one that still moving afraid they might miss out on their

share. these government tankers provide about 20 metres of water a day per person that is the size of this bucket and the woman here aggression that water for all of their household needs including drinking cooking and bathing. suit that by gaekwad lives and i don't want gowns that itch with her daughter and granddaughter she teaches at the local school. so the bi how hard is life for you right now because of the drought and the lack of water. leave you one could be in a minute. but they were. planted. by. the up one bit at night. then up and been a bit of. and it would. learn to

live. there to live. there was better to do a little of that they've. done that and i like that that they are the one. to lead the 100-0018 fed up of our way. and that little bit of water that you do have how do you use it how much of it do you drink coke with bathe with clean did not as i did with but a book when i started to talk about it but when i told us about it but it. was kind of the whole. it's all said i'll put it up on that when i was asked a lot but at that moment they did to us and it database had been on but. they say the drought in maharashtra is the worst in nearly 50 years and that there's less in

this rainfall every monsoon do you see that. isn't what i'm up on and i had a lump on and i doubt it but it is out of. the how to wire it. and help on that i do some of the planet out of i do the bums out and. the situation is so bad apart from the water tankers that you say every 4 to 5 days is the government helping you in any other way. when he asked out of the little. out of the. sagal i have no doubt him about it and it does. but i. would have. more of that absolute 0 out of that advice. and it's been it's a plan of a lot of. living it's a plan of a lot of places here's a look at the. i don't want bonnie. bell up on it's a must. to tick. tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick and bade city we meet

claim child lauder a tank operator who has a government contract he manages $170.00 trucks which provide water to $110.00 villages. he takes us to one of the reservoirs where his tankers fill up the pineal put up on the up i was a bit of a banker we knew about them and you were saying that in 2016 this reservoir was full of boys that salami you put i will go to what i will use to buy their bodies so we need sleep on it but the more you. believe that there. is no b.c. part of i think there's a battle going. on about a little more about the. lord tells me that there's an awful lot and this reservoir for 15 days but knowing about that we go to. school you're doing

a good we hung up on you going to the way the people were destroyed by the head of the house apprentice teles criminal behavior dam was. getting it. all got a bunny the in a little bit of money got to you that's unfair. in maharashtra more than 6000 tankers supply water 215000 willage is every day the government tankers provide water for free but many a private making money by selling water to people and businesses villages say the cost of buying water from private operators has shot thompson's the drought. do you only get your water from government tankers a are you sometimes paying tankers to come here as well or you're going to get that. but there really are. that it does it about sometimes i get that when you get they can imagine when you really don't answer me. but the thought of it

i know about i did sort of got that i. got an apartment. there also complains about government tankers everywhere we go people tell us the water trucks don't come as often as they should. the water tankers are supposed to come every day but we're hearing from many people that they're only coming every 4 or 5 days what's your experience was at the. bank. it's a mess there is a lot of that because i thought that the problem at the last analyst. that there was a. lot of not and i fiddled us a lot about it but i'm not one hands off by that problem as nothing has happened like this to figure out what's wrong g.p.s. tracking devices have been installed on all 1000 government tankers the water

tankers which are providing why are they being g.p.s. tracked because of the. monitoring and sometimes we get to complain that. going on groot all day are not completing their trips so we have. g.p.s. on oil tankers because there are allegations of course that some water tankers operators are benefiting from this terrible situation that's a different scenario in fact if you see human history we find many. people trying to been if your claim situation but if you're doing well what makes it your sense for the 2 different aspect of human being but if we are talking about the tankers there's some there are some places and getting out we get complaints from the local villagers because tankers are one told approximately me making the 2

told in trips and sometimes indian feel sometimes they are human and sometimes many other problems and due to their. girls are unable to fulfill their trip or their promises so people complain to us and we won't be a distal to stop if you get the. if you do mobile. telephone call then immediately return don't the. don't go with the location what is the problem and. situation and do you ever think that it's incredible that we are in a situation where we have to put g.p.s. tankers which are carrying what should be a the most basic of necessities. g.p.s. is the latest technology and a pink latest technology should be used to bring transparency and accountability in the administration and in government because goldman using. the

tool to provide the water so obviously. technology should be used but it highlights doesn't it that water has become so precious that's true. has become. we asked preemption lauda if he's certain his workers who should be providing water for free aren't making money from the drought there have been a lot of stories a lot of allegations actually that some tanker operation is benefiting from the drought in the state that they are actually making money are you certain that all of your operators and your workers are doing what they're supposed to getting the water to the people who really need it and not profiting from their need. to have. how do. you collect obviously what. other

opera which nobody really has like you how did the grammy award of a big bang go i only don't believe that a guy would go there which all people contact with. one other guy you're confident that all of your workers are doing the right thing but are there some that are taking advantage of the situation and are making money. so i suppose we could become what bobby has her. whatever the reasons for the lack of water see the by wants them resolved she says she wants a better life for her daughter and granddaughter weatherboard. i'm just annoyed. that i mean just the other we didn't plan it. will not be a dark alligator and i. rather that it be. yet that.
