4:02 am
ukrainian president will, de muranski signalled his flexibility on the most sensitive issues, including the long contest the eastern dawn by region. and your brain is neutral. and with its plan to significantly decrease military activity in your cave and in the northern city of jeremy, have moscow too is showing signs of willingness to compromise. the decision was taken in the interest of creating mutual trust and the necessary conditions for further talks to take place. although its ambition seems diminished, some of russia's demands remain unchanged. russia wants legal guarantees and 70 agreement that you claim will never be logged into nato. and it's also, once you claim to be called nice, the independence of the 2 russian occupied eastern regions in dawn bus as one of the russian controlled crimea, but to achieve its feet of object and will be not fighting. and the minute rising
4:03 am
rain, what russia would really like if a regime change in your grades its sovereignty beyond discussion, you refuses to even consider some of these demands. but this relationship with the west is not one of them. ukrainian officials have proposed adopting and neutral status only if it comes with security guarantees similar to nato's which considers an attack on one natal country as an attack on the entire block. the proposal also includes a 15 year consultation period on the status of a russian and ex crimea to come into force on the in the went of a c. s. fire. yes, sure. let if we managed to consolidate these key provisions, she than ukraine will be in positions. archie fixed it's current status as a non block and non nuclear state in the form of permanent neutrality. we will not host foreign military places in our territory, as well as deploy military conventions in our territory. and we will not enter into military political alliances as the force hopefully within a stumble,
4:04 am
ukraine's immediate goal remains the same as this fire without delay. and his willingness to compromise for it, but for russia to make peace, it needs to want it. bristol said that al jazeera is stumbled. you know that he is at least 5 people having killed and a gun, attacking israel. police saying a gunman opened fire in several areas of been a buck which is near tell of eve. he was shot and killed by police. it's a deadly attack to happen in israel. within the past week. he was president joe biden has signed into law or a bill that makes lynching a federal hate crime. the anti lynching act is named after emmett till he was murdered in 1955 for allegedly flirting with a white woman. advocates have been trying to pass anti lynching legislation for more than a century. you follow those stories on our website with algebra dot com. i'm back with more news in half an hour. do stay with us. lots of water is next. ah,
4:05 am
it is no pressure to something he can see quicker don't kitchen much better to hook up the account. so she didn't like the rising nor with the u. k. london, 39 degrees breaking the july record call. it says off the guns are loud within tonight. and i just got back with the girl to go to the menu reba. equally that they are not going to do me. no, i don't. as soon as the summer $29.00 team in europe illustrated the urgency, the climate crisis which claimed its 1st victim water, the demand is going straight up and the supply is going straight down. i mean,
4:06 am
it is dark. it's dark located. don't know. he wasn't interested in to get my water was farmers destroyed while others might use that to climate change reco regular way in today 70 percent of the secure water that 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, you won't be wearing any clothes. you'll be using it all the time. you might be
4:07 am
driving a car might be living in a house, won't be having breakfast, will be having lunch, be having dinner. water and everything that we do me to save humanity. wall street want to start a revolution. make water profitable and create watermark. it's just like oil markets. water falls from the sky, therefore it should be free. whenever i hear that, i always say diamonds occur in nature and they are not free me, it's a financial product like any other financial coming late, moran, i want to was $95.00 just at the beginning of do some water financial evolution. what about the guy that can't afford it?
4:08 am
like i still need to water me. the blue gold rush has begun. can anyone struct? the killer 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 mobilization. rising, the battle oval water has already begun. who will come out on top of the planet? the people on the markets. he thought the hot weather was bad this weekend. just wait until tomorrow. the 1st day of our he wave is expected to be incredibly uncomfortable and potentially dangerous. and the merely very hot today, it's moving in from the mid west where they've been dealing with the sweltering heat. and now that it's moving here to the east coast,
4:09 am
chris dig around for several days, becoming a full blown making water. a commodity listed on the stock exchange bet on its price. and if wall street replicates the australian model, ah, ah, humbling young man st monday, and you find you ever since the subprime crisis causing economic ruin for countries and individuals. the financial giants have been looking for new areas to invest in in june 20 o 8. the investment bank, goldman sachs, starts to one, is water. the new oil the firm invites his top clients to take a back on the future.
4:10 am
goldman sachs, the conference. that was me. i used to work at goldman sachs in 2008. that was a conference that i held there is this absolute intuitive appeal that says population growth is outstripping. the water supply that much mean companies are engage in the water business. are a sure thank that there can't ness they get mesmerized by these megatron appeals in water is water. the next oil, we set it up as a question and then mostly dismissed it. water does not have sophisticated trading market and has no substitutes. that questions not going to go away, which is probably not ready for it yet. goldman sachs and it's investors must wait. public opinion is not ready yet.
4:11 am
it's not until 2015 and the international climate change conference in paris that the well leaders finally declare a state of emergency. we are here. we are now replace on short term interest behind the air that our young people will breathe in the food that they will eat in the water that they will drink and the hopes and dreams that sustain their lives. then we won't be too late for them. in the developed world for the last 100 years, we haven't had to think about our water or worry about our water. it's been essentially unlimited wherever we want it whenever we want it. it's been really inexpensive. no one thinks about their water bill. they don't say, oh, take a shorter shower. the water is too expensive. i think that euro is over
4:12 am
climate change is going to have a huge impact on water availability around the world. the same amount of water is going to be available in the big picture, but we don't live in the big picture. we live in a specific place. we raise our food in a specific place. and so the movement of that water will have a dramatic impact on how cities manage their water and how we are able to grow food to feed every the climate emergency demands radical changes. wall street brim box on its mission city group, one of the largest us banks, publishes a report announcing the in the free water m wasting water on the track, antic scale, and certain regions. ike california,
4:13 am
southern spain. we are seeing scarcity of water, of sometimes extreme degrees. maybe have had thank us filters, water sailing to barcelona. ah, there is no alternative to pricing water properly. and making people realize that every time they take a sip of water, there is an opportunity cost and they feel within their wallet. how else are you going to get people to use less? if you give it to them for free, ah, the dam has broken the soft sounds of liberalism grow louder to celebrate the union of finance and water. yeah, go to she, acid markets,
4:14 am
selling water derivatives, even the high frequency traders, the hedge funds would become interested. so know everybody sees this as an opportunity did real come. you question is just when and who will push it 1st and hardest. and what would be their motivation in common prophets, marlowe. so indirectly doing good for humanity. so it's the best of all possible worlds. what could be better? it's very amorro to dread what to my will to be immoral to trade water. because what is life he pay for health care? just because it's life doesn't mean it cannot be priced
4:15 am
ah. the last stage in the financial nice ation of bought the loan to a stock market index to buy some water prices. buy news that a stock exchange specialize in technology. this is the 1st time that water has been reduced to an hour with me. the man who came up with the equation works in central london. as a former trader in a swiss bank, he launched the carbon markets where industrialists trade rise to pollute in the
4:16 am
form of credit. before he discovered water, water used to be free in the but the world is changing. there's too much stress on the system and the most important commodity on earth can't be free forever. if you wanted to put it into the creed scenario, if you don't control it and use it properly, what will the rhetoric the happen? he says that the cache will have it. and those about the catch. what happens long coogan is the sort of man who looks to the future in order to attract investors to find that he's joint forces with the top water expert in the united states. and i want to drive around and your dad's gonna just pull around to the
4:17 am
side, mom in law, throw some hail, scoot way back up there. look like the grain. a cowboy living in idaho, and the western united states. the only man who knows the secrets of a market that was until now reserved for experts and inside of clay landry runs a company that has recorded every water transaction since the year. 2000. when i got to call, it was unusual. it was a little out outside of our you know, our normal focus. i was intellectually curious. you know, from our standpoint it was relatively easy because we had the data on both. okay. we go give them their dinner now. why? because they like lots of food just like you it isn't
4:18 am
a reliable index to be clear where you're not buying water, you're buying the price of water stuff. so you're not taking physical delivery of the water. so it's a little bit under is a bit. yeah, it is a bet. were just betting whether the price is gonna be higher low it 6 months from now. so like i said, this is the condition on what the price. is it a speculation? i think we all are managing on what we think the future is going to look like. can get their pet in here. what is the free? nobody worry. we're all happy. that's going back into the dark ages. i was in the called market 2006 to 2012 people told me like, what's his nonsense, a judge? not in the front page,
4:19 am
or the nice if what people are saying is come in, you better be on top of your water situation. where you're going to be without water. and what i'm doing is getting people's focus through financial instruments to see what is actually going on on the grab. it changes the work, the world of water. as in australia, both partners have gained the support of powerful local environmental organizations . finances seem to be winning the environmentalists over oh oh i
4:20 am
i see more non profit organizations forming to participate in that market. and again, looking at ways to acquire water in areas where it's needed for stream flow either for fishery benefit, water quality benefit or some other type of habitat protection. the environmental water trade to make us about a quarter of the market. is it too late to stuff a financial take of a bed on water? heat wave is letting up in the midwest in northeast and temperatures are rising to dangerous levels in the west,
4:21 am
excessive heat watches and warnings are posted tonight and parts of california. at the same time, nearly 40 large wildfires are burning across the web room. california has built up its wealth through water here the reserves are in the north while the cities and farms are in the south. oh, in order to. ringback domesticated resource. ringback a huge canal had been built tomorrow, transporting billions of gallons of water. climbing over the mountains, irrigating the fertile valleys before supplying the people of los angeles. the california aqueduct is the essential artery that ensure the life and prosperity of 40000000 p e. but climate change threatens the california dream.
4:22 am
california doesn't charge farmers for water. if they drill a well and pop out of the ground, they can pump as much as they want. whenever they want. not only is there no charge, no one even keeps track of how much water they use. and during the last drought, which was just a year and a half ago, some of the farmers in the central valley of california. we're pumping so hard that the ground was falling, the ground was collapsing by an inch among mm . lots of water left so much water right down there. so today i am declaring a drought emergency in the state of california. ah, reco drugs and disastrous wildfire. california has been catapulted into the world of extreme weather phenomena. father,
4:23 am
he's supposed to be safe in the middle of the last drought. california passed a really important law that's gonna change water use in the state forever. it may change what gets grown in california. it may change who succeeds and who fails. under pressure from environmentalists, the governor is forced to vote in a new little cold sigma which limits underground water extraction. from now on california and farmers and cities will be entitled to a specific water quote based on their consumption. a revolution in the land of the free sigma or the sustainable ground water management act. initially,
4:24 am
i think was viewed with fear and trepidation. i think people recognize that it was a necessary piece of legislation, just like balancing your checkbook for your home or you can't live by writing checks for more money than you have. and so i think collectively the bally is endorsed it and supports the idea of sustainability with in bakersfield or the local water agency has decided to create a stock exchange to allow pharmacy to buy and sell that quotas. none of those to 10 years after australia comes in california is coming around to the concept of watermark rates in and you may be your july and you say, wow, based on this projection, i'm going to have a supply surplus. you may decide, you know, i'm going to manage that. i'm going to go into the market and make that available and maybe generate some additional economic value. so if it falls through afterwards, we hit confirm and it falls, do they didn't pay or they didn't, you know, doesn't work out. how do we let you know again that i want to take my water back,
4:25 am
you know, to be, you can i that once you hit confirm, as far as the district is concerned, the transaction is complete. there's, there's going to be some growing pains, and certainly it's not going to be perfect every time, but we're trying to structure something that seems straightforward. some of the people, the wheels were beginning to turn and they were thinking, you know, can i turn this to my advantage? is there a way for me to generate additional value? and i think though, just the word market invokes and people a sense of, is there an opportunity, can i somehow be advantaged by participating? and that's by far the, the most common reaction that i have when people hear that, you know, we're creating a market for water. i think they view it as an opportunity contract with you probably are not a platform provider. i don't have skin in the game in terms of your bottom line here. again, environmentalists are at the forefront encouraging the establishment of these markets. so, you know, we're here because we, we see it as an important tool for flexibility as folks are dealing with more and
4:26 am
more scarcity under sigma and in a climate change in general. so we've been talking to eric for some time since this is ground 0 for ground water overdraft. it would be great to actually experiment with how water training can benefit this region. the valley here is definitely ground 0, but there's groups in sonoma, there's groups in eastern, truly madera, fox canyon. everyone probably noon and i'm sorry, my name is christy. about it and i work, i thought you were, i'm and in a very surprise of the through environment or a pro market. i was to initially, i think, you know, after we had a chance to talk and understand what their interest were and recognize that we were very much aligned, these transactions have to be evaluated not just from a financial standpoint, but we also have to take into account environmental impacts, water quality issues, all the things that they're concerned about. and so it's good to have their input
4:27 am
and their vision. and so that, that answers your 1st question. i mean, we don't know right now we're just kind of trying to project into the future. would you have imagined that situation before? no, this is i think taken many of us by surprise 4 or 5 years ago. this would not have been possible why supply has been constrained by definition of sustainability. and so the market i think is necessary. ah. will california become the new australia will intensive agriculture monopolized this resource and will small farmers disappear, sacrificed in the name of water profitability wall street's new cream, or in
4:28 am
a from the al jazeera london broadcast center to people in thoughtful conversation is very intuitive to us, to corporate at local scales, unprompted uninterrupted, west, individually submit about any school freight with people outside our group and see them not as members of groups as such. but as individuals, part 2 of will store and nick la re harney coff. racing outside of our immediate family is a major part of our human success story studio. be unscripted on elvis there at

4:31 am
we are seeing all the risks. of course, we are not seeing grounds to trust the words coming from representatives of the country that continues fighting to destroy us. um brazil, more than up greener that ukraine supports the talks and will continue the negotiation process to the extent required, we are counting on the result. we must have real security for us for our country's sovereignty, and our people, russian troops must leave occupied territory, solid sovereignty and territorial integrity of ukraine must be guaranteed. or hey, russian strikers had a government building in nikolai of ripping a hole through it. not least 9 people were killed and 22 wounded. the southern port said he has been on the heavy assault for weeks and all the new 5 people having killed him. she thinks that he is really city of tel aviv already say, a gunman opened file pedestrians now. he was shot and killed by police. is the 3rd deadly attacked to happen in israel within the past week? he was president joe biden has signed into law a bill that makes lynching
4:32 am
a federal hate crime. the anti lynching act is named after a bit till a 14 year old boy who was murdered in 1955 for allegedly flirting with a white woman advocate say that they been trying to pass the federal anti lynching legislation for more than a century haitians have rallied in the streets of the capital over the western crime rate and political instability protested, say, kidnapping, murder, and rape is happening daily without consequences for the crimes. please. in the u. k. plan to find at least 20 star from the prime minister's office for attending parties of broke cove in 1900 lockdown rules investigation is related to 12 events where restrictions were thought to be violated. or johnson has been criticized to taking part in these 2 of those gatherings. you can follow they stories on a website that out there at dot come back with more news in half, and i will return to lot of water here. and i'll just join the debate said is no, he tom bad,
4:33 am
better eunice. i am in it. anyone here talks about women that i had 2 horses, dustin, the, some bill seemed of then says notes. so he gets off the table. we were taught to see abortion as a one way ticket strength and health, all of the companies. they deny any responsibility, even though they have the resources and the power to fix it, where a global audience becomes a global community. a comment section is right here. the part of today's program, this stream on out is iraq. ah, will california become the new australia will intensive agriculture monopolized this resource and will small farmers disappear, sacrificed in the name of water profitability wolf streets. you creed,
4:34 am
people's been fighting over water since white people set foot in this valley. it's our life. if we don't have water, we don't have an economy and we, we don't have anything. you have the growers, you have the packers, you have the shippers, you have the manufacturers, but it's all based on what comes up out of the ground and you need water for that. historically the central valley has been the orchard that supplies the whole country with fruits and vegetables considered of national security. it insures food independence for the united states. but over the past decade, the crops of chain solid leaves have disappeared. the valley has become an almond producing machine. as in australia, the financial, i say some of water is transforming landscapes and encouraging mono culture.
4:35 am
i can remember cuz i grew up in the valley in driving up and down and all over the place that you had much smaller plots of land and farms and a lot more alfalfa and cotton, especially cotton. and now you have, you know, just as far as the i can see in some areas, almon trees, as the price of water increases and it becomes more valuable than the land and more valuable than the production of the land. well, you have a commodity. it's valuable somewhere. if you can't use it on the land, what else might you be able to do with it? farm it to sell. so he knew where water is
4:36 am
a new crop. yes, hunter is. what ours is probably the most valuable crop in the central alley right now. it's more valuable than oil. ah. so what is blue gold would replace black go? the owner bit of it is what's known as a water garn, a reference to the 1000000000 as of yesterday who control deal and markets
4:37 am
i knew were l a was i knew where san francisco was this central valley is something that was foreign to me and after i bought the land was about 4000 acres. i bought it, bought it for $270000.00 and it had today's value had $12000000.00 with the water racks and today's value maybe more. and a lot of people feel that john, that of it, he's not a farmer that he is a water farmer that he buys these lands and gets himself involved in the stuff in order to get control of the ground water. my strategy has always been that it's not so much the land, but it's the water and maybe i was a little bit early. maybe i wasn't. how much have you invested in all these? so infrastructures i will say in the hundreds of millions. so
4:38 am
that's, that's what i have invested hundreds of millions of dollars. yes sir. does it worth it? yes. absolutely. mm. ah, joan bit of it is not afraid of soaring water prices. no, the arrival of wall street investors. for him, the danger lies elsewhere. blue. ah . cities will always get the politics, are there, the money is there, they can increase the cost of water so that the farmers can't pay for
4:39 am
in, they're going to steal it by making it so expensive that the farmer is at their mercy. that the fear is it's all going to go to allay cars. ela has all the money that's. that's the fear member m w d, the metropolitan water district, which is the big gorilla down south. they have millions of customers where you could spread the cost out and it's not going to affect the individual customer. what is money? it's power and it's money and it's becoming more and more and more valuable, almost daily. ah, in the land of free enterprise, what competition is 5th city against countryside,
4:40 am
the colleges against farmers, some people already preparing to become water bankers, welcoming those who wish to stock their reserves before using oh, reselling them according to market prices. so my drop as a set up as a sponge to be able to capture as much water available when it's here. and then we have the luxury. when the surface water is not available, we can fall back upon the stored water in the ground water basins. semi tropic owns these canals. we pay for the canals and maintain the canals. we built the canals. so if another layer of a land owner wants to actually have access to my canal to move water supply, they acquired. we're going to pay for all
4:41 am
as a seller, if it's more interesting to sell water to cities than to farmers. yeah, you're probably have a higher ability to sell water to cities, but then you were those cities getting their food supply or the import the soup food supply from outside the state outside the country or they want to have a local food supply. like having the natural stream system near their home, whereas wars, the value is it fishes are farms. is that people that really at the end of the day is the, the hard issue for us to decide where is the best use from water supply and then varies based upon where you are me. the 20th century economy centered around the world. trade nowadays was look, set to shape the 21st century. we have
4:42 am
seen financial investors and others come in and look at ways to take advantage of that. their goal is to get in before the market elevates the price of water. and in some cases, i've heard that they've done it. mm. and how you look at that. you know, there are some that feel that that's kind of exporting the system, but you know, there's nothing that we can do to prevent. it may not like it, but that's just, that's the way our system. that's what capitalism is set up to accommodate. you met them personally. no news doesn't make sense. should we be trading water? i think we're past that question. we, we are trading water in this country and people are moving to the west. may need water. ah,
4:43 am
just at the beginning of this water revolution, water, financial revolution. the, you can't let the market be the only decider of how water's allocated. price can't be the only way you distribute water, because then you'll have rich people with big swing pools and poor people who are dead. i don't think it is the her yet volunteer offenses that have gone to the one that has been done. bonnie's about betty, the young man that bonnie and and jennifer physical in that is that a global war to rush is accelerating. privatization, competition profit,
4:44 am
key words of the liberal. i faced with this for it. one woman is standing up mothball a canadian human rights activist. ah, she has already won her 1st victory at the united nations in 2010. when the general assembly voted in favor of a resolution that recognized access to water as a universal rights line, it must be declared a public resource that belongs equally. i was in the united nations, up in the balcony, the day that that they voted and i thought we were going to lose. i had staff with me, they were crying. i said, don't worry, we're going to be back in 2 years or 5 years, no matter how long it takes, we're going to be back and we'll do it. and when they vote, they vote, they sit in their chairs and they vote electronically. so you know right away, so boom, a 122 countries voted in favor and 41. they abstained. they didn't have the nerve
4:45 am
to oppose, even though they actually wanted to oppose among the nations that abstain that they were australia, united states and great britain. countries that have all chosen to turn water into a financial product. the human family took an evolutionary step forward at that point. and since then, every country has ratified it's in one way or enough it's, it's now universal. so you got it. now you got it. now, mod barlow may have won the battle, but she hasn't yet won the war. in stockholm, in december 2018, the activist was invited by the nobel committee to continue her fight at a conference about the future of water. so we thought we focused on activism for a while to start us off. i'd like to ask more. barlow, gills with
4:46 am
united nations calls, water scarcity, the scoured of the earth to truly guarantee the human right to water. we must protect it as a public trust and a commons, not a commodity to be put on the open market for sale like oil and gas. and we must challenge the current power structures and institutions that support an equal access to the planets. dwindling water supplies. our goal must be clean, affordable, accessible, public water for all, for everywhere, for all time. is at the end of cheap and free water. well, the corporations and city group and others want it to be the end of free and cheap
4:47 am
water. that's their argument. they're saying, oh yes, it's a human right because they can't fight that anymore because everybody says ear, awful person, if you, if you deny it, right? so, oh yes, it's the human right. but the end of free and cheap water it, when they say it's got to be a commodity, it's because they know that the scarcer it becomes in a world where you desperately need water. there's this gold, it's called it's blue gold. in stockholm mod, barlow appears as the grain of sand capable of bringing the water market machinery to a halt. there an awful lot of people in elite circles in let's face it, the no bells, pretty elite that believe that the best thing to do for what the water crisis is commodified put it on the open market like well and gas and see what see where it goes from there, right? so i, i, it, for me, it represented a breakthrough in arm in getting our message out that we have to see water as
4:48 am
