3:06 pm
the demand is going straight up and the supply is going straight down. i mean, it is dark. it's dark. located don't need from near the water was bombers and destroyed while others might adapt to climate change. reco breaking the way in today. 70 percent of the pure water is used to a human consumption. it has become the most coveted resource on the planet roll. try not doing anything that requires water to die and say hey me,
3:07 pm
you won't be wearing any clothes. why be using your mind all the time? you might be driving in a car might be living in a half way, be having breakfast, will be having lunch. we'll be having dinner, water, and everything that we do me to save humanity. wall street want to start a resolution. make water profitable and create more markets, just like oil mark. the water falls from the sky, therefore it should be free. whenever i hear that, i always say, diamond occur in nature and they are not for me. it's a financial product like any other financial like around $195.00 just at the beginning of this water, financial revenue,

3:09 pm
finance 1st began 30 years ago. at the time, it was simply a question of commending the virtues of privatization. it was margaret thatcher, prime minister, at the time warden who championed the cause many privatized water in a better deal than nationalized ward. i believe we'll go very successfully. indeed. what happened was the entire system, the inter physical system as well as the concession was sold to the private companies. every drop of water in the place is private commodity.
3:10 pm
well of the 1st thing, some of the calculus did was to start cussing off would supply to people he hadn't paid the bills the number of people who had their water cut off or failing to pay, the bills has almost trebled in a yeah. one company for example, disconnected 11 salesman's customers. as far as the company was concerned, they can stay disconnected if they didn't pay their bills, they didn't get any war. so oh, why is your car by no nissan you have to come up with the times. you think you'll have to make this journey that during the day just come down again? well, probably another bought i mean, you gotta,
3:11 pm
you gotta do cooking. we didn't even have to care for this during the war. san said to myself, it's disgusting. from the bulk of perspective, but doesn't bursa the market can care less if people die of cholera, really that's not their job, the job is making money and we've done that very well. ah fine. 10 years later law is pause. that prohibits companies from cutting off the water supply to those who haven't paid them it, but this is not enough to deter the finance years. on the contrary, in the early 2, thousands, a new generation of traders and the world war 2. namely, private equity for valve cio fund,
3:12 pm
they are hungry and completely unaccountable. they may be from which have a 10 year life and state. therefore, they need to get their returns for that decade that they will be the ins, and then they need to find a new you say you have a lot of international vestos people who may never have been to a water plant in yorkshire toll or maybe never been to yorkshire, their fathers is wonderful business and truly said links, you don't need to know anything about water and you don't need care anything about water. the new owners arrived from canada, hong kong. i'm a lazy in london. tmz water, the distribution authority that covers 20 percent of the country is bought by the australian based mcquerry farmers.
3:13 pm
i was aware of mcquarry, i mean, they were quite a famous institution in australia where they've been then as something i think they were called the millionaire factory because so many people who worked at mccory became very rich as a result of the bonuses. and but corey world, 1st for equity companies to say these are good places to believe. one of the simple reasons for that is if you observe there is and these going to be population growth. if this population grows, this can be, will, would something, trunk david hall is the man who revealed this war to scan. in 2017, he published
3:14 pm
a study which he detailed 30 years of abusive practices. rising builds, soaring dividends to shareholders. and tax evasion. a caricature of financial capitalism. ah, we ended up to closing a belts. $2.00, billions pills per year was being taken out of the system by private capital. no main reason for that was that the dividends, though paying themselves, were very high. a very regular. so these companies were perfect cash machines. they still are, they still are ah,
3:15 pm
everybody believes correctly that we are being swindled by the water filters. ah, walk david whole study than 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 aggressive the australia based mcquarrie funnels was a shareholder in terms water for just over 10 years. when it sold its final share in the company, march 2017. mcquarry says it had just over $13000000000.00 of debt. somebody at that point will have to repay all those borrowing. well, if any one source of money in the whole water industry and that if the customer and when the customer has to repay the borrowing that will affect the charges they have
3:16 pm
to pay. and of course, the owners will never return the dividends they've taken out those of just gone i think they take a view that this is effectiveness crime. ah, funny thing about you, case experience will to 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 ah, today of 80 percent of brittany's would like to go back to a time when water was a common public and essentially free resource. but this concept is slipping away

3:44 pm
leaving out of just trying water worst. we're just interested in getting more of the mike by water to mike living not, not just making living by buying and selling water, the system was put in for the farmers to create well for the, for the economy. but it's been taken from the farmers now who's making the money water purchased at the market price has drained the australian countryside. only the agricultural giants have the means to compete with the investors who are

3:47 pm
but in the next 10 years it will double again because of intensive agriculture. there's a lot of discontent between the farmers and the people who are controlling the water. and so the farmers sometimes look at these people as border barrens or water bandits because they controlling water that many times i can afford as an owner of expansive water reserves, david williams sprints his water to farmers as others would rent land in the future is looking bright if we get an opinion population and the chinese want more food and the indonesians offered and the indians, what more food and i can afford to buy for it. then we need to find more intensive ways of growing food. that means more water that's going to lead
