9:07 am
a car might be living in a house you might be having breakfast you might be having lots of be having dinner with. water ease in paper think that we do you continue. to save humanity wall street wants to start a revolution. make water profitable and create water markets just like oil markets . water falls from the sky therefore it should be free whenever i hear that i always say diamonds are current nature and they're not free from the it's a financial product like any other financial model these china india are often on the way around i don't want to live life on $495.00 i believe a model that good just at the beginning of to some water financial revolution.
9:08 am
the blue gold rush has begun. and he will stop putting. the human right to water means that it's not a charity it's an issue of justice. this is the issue of our time this is the crisis of our time. with financial pressure on human mobilisation rising the battle over water has already begun. who will come out on top the planet the people in the markets. i've. run the financial companies of europe. here is where the relationship between water and finance 1st began 30 years ago.
9:09 am
at the time it was simply a question of commending the virtues of privatisation. it was margaret thatcher prime minister at the time who championed the cause neither did i. do so in this. war time in the benefit of being in the national night. out of time guys nation i believe. says. what happened was the entire system the entire physical system as well as the concession was sold to the private companies. every drop of water in the ploy is a private commercial to take. one of the 1st thinks some of the companies to. go. to people he
9:10 am
had paid the bills. the number of people who've had their water cut off for failing to pay their bills has almost tripled in a year. one company for example disconnected 11 fails and customers and the source the company was. they could stay disconnected if they didn't pay their bills they didn't get any water. or say always come back now if. i do you have to come. up with a child's. life you think you have to make this journey that they just come down to . us. i mean you could have drank anything but it just took things. we didn't need next to care for this during the last song.
9:11 am
i said myself is the sky. from the market perspective but doesn't the market can careless if people died of cholera really that's not a joke their job is making money and leave the not very well to. the. final 10 years later the law is passed and the bread gets companies from cutting off the water supply to those who haven't paid their bills. but this is not enough to deter the financing on the contrary. in the early 2000 and new generation of traders and to the world. namely private equity funds for vulture funds. they are hungry and completely unaccountable.
9:12 am
they may be from which have a 10 year life and they therefore they need to get their returns over that decade that they will be vienna's and then they need to find a new way. say you have a lot of international investors people who may never have been to a water plant in yorkshire talk or baby. never been to yorkshire before this is a wonderful business and truly sick links you don't need to do anything about water and you don't need to care anything about. the new owners arrived from canada hong kong i'm a lazy. 'd in london thames water distribution authority that covers 20 percent of the country is booked by the australian based mcquarrie finals.
9:13 am
i was aware of mccoury i mean they were quite a famous institution in australia where they've been named as something i think they were called the millionaires factory because so many people who worked at a quarry became very rich as a result of the bonuses that they and. but cory were one of the 1st private equity companies to save these are good places to be one of the simple reasons for that is if you there is and is going to population growth. if there's population growth there's going to be more water taken from. david hall was the man who revealed this was a scam. in 2017 he published a study in which he detailed search a year civic use of practices. rising buildings soaring dividends to shareholders
9:14 am
and tax evasion. a caricature of financial competence. we ended up polluting a belt. 2.5000000000 pills. was being taken else of the system but private capital now a 1000000 reason for that was that the dividends. were very very regular so these companies were perfect cash machines they still are they still. everybody believes correctly that we are being swindled by the world is.
9:15 am
what david hall study then did was it said is this really how you think that essential services should be exploited i think is the best way by financial interests so graphic. the australia based mcquarrie finals with the thames would just overtake us. when it sold its function to the company march 22nd 2. acquiring uses and had just over $13000000000.00 of debt somebody at that point will have to repay all those boring well there's only one source of money in the whole water industry and that is the custom and when the customer has to repay those borrowings that will affect the charges they have to pay and of course the owners will never return the dividends
9:16 am
they've taken out those have just gone. i think they take a view that this is. a fictive in the sky. the funny thing is that you case experience with privatization is no one else in the developed world has done it it's a one off and sometimes you have to ask yourself why is. today over 80 percent of britons would like to go back to a time when water was a common public and essentially free resource. but this concept is slipping away. from. the reins sweltered through
9:17 am
another 24 hours of extreme haste i've been i had barely dipped below 30 degrees in many parts of the state with temperatures soaring into the need to hide the reasons during the day i. really need not to write a lot of stuff but not enough to run to the right of the story it remains a story my hoff notified me that i want him because the things are going to happen . right. australia. on the frontline of climate change. here drought is a part of everyday life. in this parched country australians are getting closer and closer to tomorrow's world. a world where water is
9:18 am
a scarce and expensive resource. is a dairy farmer who lives in new south wales one of the driest regions in the country . for many months now his reserves have been empty. the only solution for feeding his animals is to buy extra water from the private market. although you know if. you go. to die to run just for my kale cost me close to half a $1000000.00 for 12 months of oil $500000.00 can you afford that it would put a deal this trying on us if we if we did it a great deal
9:19 am
a strong. and i. thought we now if i'm in the last 3 months it's already spent $1000000.00 on water oh. well. a storm could come straight tomorrow up at all and. so it's they've spent the money but still a game of fun with it whether it's going to work on. which basically the chaos alarm goes we've told the board to grow crops so they can't. we can't afford a real lot of grinding out they're getting very little or not a grind at all at the moment. side they're producing. 50 percent less than what they should be but he's told me.
9:20 am
it's just. sawing saval i keep going. and i am trying it out the other end of it. strikes me as my somites in helping each other out but now it's a little like dog eat dog world at the my space with with the waterfall a c. .

9:22 am
a law of exciting afaik for man or. why we doing it is we next year the rivers of fall and that we don't have to go back on to that i can market to buy water again well what happened when we die. we multiply russian roulette it's. to combat water shortages the australian government has chosen to rationing. each year it allocates a quota to the major water consumers farmers industrialists and cities. this is calculated based on activity existing reserves and weather forecasts. along with this new law called the water act water markets have been created where
9:23 am
anyone can come and purchase additional rights or sell some of the. value of coal as the market is changing and there are over the last couple way certainly was not i don't judge or modeling i may say driving really having around $400.00 i believe after 4 yani 5 dollars right in martin martin from the waterfront thanks tate look for to hearing from you in just 10 years the water business has become the new el dorados with a turnover of 2000000000 dollars a year morning yeah i am not a talk 1st thing. i want to find is the world's leading water stock exchange was because they work with the mega liter a unit of measurement equipment to 1000000 liters. some are tame he called me the water market parnia. i'd like to cite then
9:24 am
i'm a pawn either in the world. i must always have got nowhere to go since actual money on the transmitter these are only got i think yeah yeah it's a 6 digit. so we reset that a gun then imagine something alleged that we secured that so are you demanding transfer $250.00 makes plus the side prices to die around the $500.00. make a later will mean later is you've got. is i think it's . what $500.00. was that 300 euros 350 euros for 1000000 liters of water. it's pretty cheap when you look at it from that perspective. isn't a good thing that way
9:25 am

a lot and that from pretty much live on some of the mosquitoes and the old. days used to market one on. the total value of that water is more valuable than all the land we hold of the plant and equipment over the last talk that we hold. the water market in this area this year has gone from about $320.00 per meghalaya to have a $700.00 per megawatt hour and that's in a period of a ground 5 months. and that will probably double the process but that's how it works.
