ah, but does his work make him a hero or a target witness? the d minor on al jazeera. ah, i'm not matheson and don't have the top stories and al jazeera russian forces have continued shelling a northern ukraine despite russia saying it would scale back its attacks. overnight strikes destroyed, buildings in china, have the northwest of keys. the capital has also seen explosions and fighting arches. it is kristen salumi has been speaking to russia's deputy un ambassador dmitri polanski. and he's told her that the international community as rushed to conclusions about rush as activities around keep and chem, have. there were some signals from our negotiators and they are of course,

better prepared and better informed. they were cautiously optimistic, seeing that it was for the 1st time that ukrainians gave something in writing. but actually after that, i think the ukrainians did everything to deny almost all the position that sol negotiators were promoting as kind of positive because they said that while any agreement was a subject of referendum, so frankly, i don't think we shall trash into the conclusions. right. now, in turkey, russian officials promised to scale back bombing of keys and also shown a he today our colleagues on the ground are reporting more shelling. can we trust russia? what i heard from negotiations and key if was that we were scaling down our military

activity. and some people work week enough to assume that we are withdrawing from key essential niga, which is not the case. it was kind of regrouping. and the military of defense confirmed this that we, we have completed the 1st phase of our peroration. now the objective is to, to liberates don bus. yesterday, the security council got a very grim assessment of what is happening in terms of more than 1100 civilians have died in ukraine. 10000000 of them on the move, forced to leave their homes on a personal level. how does it feel to sit in the council chamber with these people that you work with every day? pointing the finger at you and russia for the suffering. whether much sense and sympathetic with people suffering. we understand the situation in ukraine,

much better than our western colleagues. we, we where aware of the war that was going on for 80 years. ukraine is very frequent topic of our discussions. so i remember quite well the frustration that were felt because we were presenting facts, we representing people giving their evidence, accounts of what has happened in these split in the, in these places and our colleagues were pretending that nothing was happening. what is your thoughts on the secretary general's response and secretary general enforcement? it took the sod decides of the countries web leaving russia for everything. he was saying, russian aggression, the war, everything. i don't know all the lexical was absolutely all the, all the vocabulary was, was forgotten by him on the similar occasions. and that was our approach to secretary journal if he wants to, to be useful in these regards. he shouldn't take sides, but that's unfortunately what's happened. on several occasions. the red cross says

one of its facilities is being heads by shelling and muddy poll agency says this building was marked with a red cross on a white background indicating the presence of wounded people or civilian congo. trinity, as presidents, dissolved parliament after what he says was an attempted coup. case said, made the announcement after politicians led by the opposition held an online meeting for the 1st time since the president suspended parliament 8 months ago. a chinese estallion journalist accused of jeopardizing china state securities going on trial in beijing. chang ley was detained in 2020 and charge with handing over state secrets to fallen organisations. she's been in jail for 19 months. those are the headlines. the news continues here on our disease in about 25 minutes after lords of water. go by the

use of those additional pressure to something he can go kitchen, which is to hook up to the account so she didn't press the rising not with the cross. oh the u. k. london, 39 degrees, breaking the july record golf you fast. it says off the guns are loud within tonight and i've got to go on the look go to don't you bet you reba. equally 30 that they are not able 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,

it is dark, it's stark. located, don't read them from here into my water, with farmers i've seen that destroyed while others might adapt to climate change reco breaking the way in today. 70 percent of the earth pure water that is used for 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. why be using your might all the time. you might

be driving in a car, might be living in a house. you might be having breakfast will be having lunch. well, be having dinner. water in 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. mark 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 product coming like around $195.00 later than just at the beginning of this water financial revolution. ah,

what about the guy that can't afford it back? i still need water. ah, the blue gold rush has begun with the can anyone struct 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 mobilization. rising, the battle over water has already begun. who will come out on top of the planet? the people or 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 because you merely very hot today, it's moving in from the midwest where they've been dealing with the sweltering heat . and now that it's moving here to the east coast secret stick around for several

days, becoming a full blown making water commodity listed on the stock exchange bet on its price. and if wall street replicates the australian model ah humbling young and well st. money and you find it ever since the subprime prices 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 plans to take a bath on the future. ah,

goldman sachs, the conference. that was me. i used to work at goldman sachs and 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 must 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.

it, 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 oh 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

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 bream box on its mission city group, one of the largest us banks, publishes a report announcing the in the free water

if you're wasting water on a gigantic scale in certain regions, like california sudden spain, you're seeing scarcity of water or 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 to 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,

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, in coming profits well or so indirectly doing good for humanity. so it's the best all possible worlds. what could be better? it's very amorro to tread water. my will to be immoral to trade water. because water is life. you pay for health care just because it's life doesn't mean it cannot be priced

ah, the last stage in the financial ation of bought the loan to a stock market index to buy some water prices. i know 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 rides to pollute in the

form of credit. before he discovered water, water used to be free in the l. but the world is changing. there's too much stress on the system and the most important commodity on earth can be free for ever. if you wanted to put it into the creed scenario, if you don't control it and you should probably, what will the rhetoric the happen? he says that the cache will have it and those about the cache one texas loans coogan is the sort of man who looks to the future in order to attract investors to find that he's joint forces. but the top water expert in the united states, and i wanna drive around in your dad's gonna just pull around to the 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 the 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 get on their dinner now. why? because they like lots of food just like you it isn't

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 on the 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 to price. is it a speculation? i think we all are managing on what we think the futures going to look like. can get their pet in here. what is in 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 nonsense, a judge, not in the front page or the nice if

what people are saying is come in, you better be on top of your water situation. are you going to be with that water? and what i'm doing is getting people's focus through financial instruments to see what is actually going 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

i see more nonprofit 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, of habitat protection. the environmental water trades make up 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,

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 ringback ringback a huge canal at being 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 ensures the life and prosperity of 40000000 p e. but climate change threatens the california dream. 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. not so much water. we're down there. so today i'm declaring a drought emergency in the state of california. ah, reco drugs and disastrous wildfires to california has been catapulted into the world of extreme weather phenomenon. yeah. father,

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, 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 valley 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 know, doesn't work out. how do we let you know again that i wouldn't take my water back,

you know, to be you, can you, 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, can i turn this to my advantage? is there a way for me to generate additional value? and i think the just the word market invokes in 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 market. you know, we're here because we,

we see it as an important tool for flexibility as folks are dealing with more and more scarcity under sigma and in 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 could benefit this region. valley here is definitely ground 0, but there's groups in sonoma, there's groups in eastern to fully madera, fox canyon. everyone probably sorry many, it's christy about it and i were i thought you were, i'm an, a very surprise of the through environment. are a pro market the i was to initially, i think, you know, after we had a chance to talk and understand what their interests 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 the environmental impacts, water quality issues, all the things that they're concerned about. and so it's good to have their input

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 imagine 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

al jazeera, well need some extraordinary women who am making things happen their way. following their daily struggle to survive for their families, to thrive with egypt swim in st. sailors on al jazeera african stories from african perspective isn't well yet i said, well then he was a bit short documentary from african feel me from mommy and synagogue for you. see, that is your only don't little rush to rig mom. i love it now cuz she's almost the adventures off of a car and led to africa direct on al jazeera. ah

al jazeera, whatever. ah, all for the ah

ah with i'm madison and don't how the top stories on ology 0 russian forces have continued shelling and northern ukraine despite moscow saying it would scale back its attacks . strikes have destroyed buildings in charlie, he's on the north west of the capital, keith, as seen explosions and fighting ukraine. the president's love me as the landscape says, russian forces are only considering withdrawal from keith because of military setbacks stuck. yeah, put a whole warning for us if you keep it. there is an ongoing negotiation process, but for now it's only we're, it's without specifics. are also other words about the alleged withdrawal of

rushing sources from keep turning eve and about the alleged decrease of the occupied activity in these directions. we know that it's not the withdrawal, the consequences of explosion, consequences of our defenders work. and i'll let that cause, but i'm sure we'll see. but we also see at the same time russia as a massing forces for new attacks in the down the us. and we are getting ready for this. we don't believe anyone in their flowery words, russia's, deputy, you and bassett has told out his ear that moscow is not withdrawing truths from keith and gender, have emitted janski's says they are regrouping now. russia has completed the 1st phase of its operation. it says the next goal is to liberate, don't boss. the red cross, the says one of its facilities has been hit by shelling in money. a poll, the agency says is building was marked with a red cross and white backgrounding indicating the presence of wounded people or supplies for civilians. janet is president has dissolved parliament after what he

says was an attempted crew crisis. i. e made the announcement after politicians led by the opposition held an online meeting for the 1st time since the president suspended parliament 8 months ago. mm. a chinese stallion journalist accused of jeopardizing china's state security is going on. trial in beijing. chang lay was detained in 2020, and charged with handling over state secrets to foreign organizations. she's been in jail for 1900 months. please, and shall i have arrested at least 55 people during a day of nationwide protests. at least 5 officers were injured, so violence broke out on the 2nd anniversary of the killing of 2 brothers by police officers. the pair had been protesting against chiles constitution. it dates back to the augusta tennessee, raising the rule from 19731990. those are the headlines now it's back to lords of water. there's a wave of sentiment around the world. people actually want accountability from the

people who are running their countries and i think often people's voice is not heard because it's not part of the mainstream news narrative. obviously we cover the big stories and report from the big events that are going on. but we also tell the stories of people who generally don't have a voice. i'm in one other child, my dad to never be afraid to put your hand. that last question, and i think that's what i was 0 really does. we ask the questions, the people who should be accountable, and also we get people to give their view of what's going on with

with the whole will california become the new australia will intensive agriculture monopolized this resource and will small pharmacy disappear, sacrificed in the name of water, profitability, wolf streets. you, cree,

people, 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 ocean that supplies the whole country with fruits and vegetables considered of national security. it ensures food dependence for the united states. but over the past decade, the crops have changed. solidly so disappeared. the valley has become an almond to producing machine. as in australia, the financial i zation of water is transforming landscapes and encouraging mono

culture. i can remember as i grew up in the valley in a driving up and down and all over the place that you had. i'm 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

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, ah. so what is blue gold? what to replace black go don't a bit of it is what's known as a water garn, a reference to the 1000000000 as of yesterday. who controlled deal and markets

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 had today's value, had $12000000.00 with the water rights, 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

that's, that's what i have invested hundreds of millions of dollars. yes sir. does it worth it? yes, absolutely. ah, john 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

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. water is money. it's power and it's money. and it's becoming more and more and more valuable, almost daily. with the land of free enterprise for to competition is 5th city against

countryside. the colleges against farmers some people are 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 i 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 bases. so my tropic, overseas canals we pay for the canals or maintain the canals. we built the canals. so if another layer of a land owner wants to actually have access to my canal and move water supply they acquired. we're going to pay for all

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 in 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 words, the value is it fishes and farms is that people does really at the end, the day is the, the hard issue for us to decide about where is the best use for water supply and then varies based upon where you are. the 20th century economy centered around the world. trade nowadays was look, said to shape the 21st century. we have

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 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 set up to accommodate as you met them personally. no news doesn't make sense. should we be trading water? i think we're pass that question we. we are training water in this country and for people are moving to the west. they need water. ah,

just at the beginning of this water revolution and 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 screen pools and for people who are dead done they get it. well, what is the who yet? vonny my mom would have gone to the one that has been done. bonnie: something about the young man that bonnie and the janice, little physical and that is still that a global war to rush is accelerating privatization, competition profit?

key words of the liberal doctrine. faced with this for it. one woman is standing up, mod, bondo canadian human rights. ah, she has already won her 1st victory of 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

to oppose, even though they actually wanted to oppose among the nations that abstained, 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 another it's, it's now universal. so you got it now 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 while to start us off. i'd like to ask more. barlow, gills with

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 in institutions that support unequal access to the planets. dwindling water supplies. our goal must be clean, affordable, accessible, public water for all, for everywhere, for all time. is it 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

water. that's their argument. they're saying, oh yes, it's a human right because the 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, there's 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 and 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

a human, right, as a public trust and something that belongs to everyone. that's our goal. it's a big goal and does not want everyone shares. i have to tell you. thank you so much for coming. really, really, it was wonderful. the activist now this, it'll be hard because sometimes you'll find nobody else. it's like why me, why don't, why don't other people care and it's just the way it is. and you guys will do it. i know you will be early. the winds of revolt spring. oh, oh, you're the fight against the financial ization of water is fueled by the refuse to accept any sort of privatization and in the streets of dublin, rome, berlin and paris citizens are spearheading the resistance

that the senate for the rest gets down, do i bonnie will go home with my mom because she is to the real. did you see the bill be fillable bill kill that in the french capital. politicians have also taken up the fight in 20 o 9. the city council ousted viola and suez the 2 giants shed the war to market and created its own water management company. oh, to pay on that? well, i bought it, i bet died, but i just want to be the best son already. bethany beth on the ball section and i was yeah. because the best ones on best buy. well, we do not a fit good show the export, the lowest. so the reason that i go see 20 uncle some at the latin does not that i do not. who's solar?

not them credit a week previous bhaskar losing you prevents in lucy. she's hot dog. i needed to call them or oh yeah, they come in on want to renew? she can met no. yeah, no, no. you can hear me if i was approved on the line. i'm off. yeah. it i know teaching there would be educate them what i do think with low alcohol to them in a law lives in the hospital. so going to me coming

so he's it that a for approval. m m thought in movies i prefer to play. if i got there i saw things repulsive. yes, i may or thought movies or straw told me, how long will the european fortress be able to withstand the financial market pressure? the in 2012 petition called right to water, a mass nearly 2000000 signatures. a 1st for your protested demanded war to be given special status. ah, the piano detention if it really changed the way we discussed about water in europe . he helped at creating a movement and the whole idea that water should be considered
