used to a human consumption. it has become the most coveted resource on the planet role in try not doing anything that requires water to die and say, hey, you won't be wearing any clothes you might be using your might all the time. you might be driving in a car, might be living in a half, be having breakfast. why be having lunch and be having dinner? water in, in 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

out on the planet? the people mocking london financial capital of europe. here is where the relationship between water and finance 1st began 30 years ago. at the time, it was simply a question of commending the virtues private a. it was margaret thatcher, prime minister at the time warner, who champion the cause many privatized, a war tie in a better deal than nationalized warner. i say him, 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 plates is private commodity. one of the 1st thing, some of the kill police did was to start crossing off would play to people who hadn't paid their bills. the number of people who've had their water cut off for failing to pay their bills has almost trebled in a year. one company for example, disconnected 11000 customers, and 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 i was, i always just come by. no nicole, like on the you have to come up with you think you'll have to make this journey that during the day just come down again . well, probably another bought i mean you go to here, you go to do some cooking. we didn't even have to care for this during the war time. i said to myself, it's disgusting but from the market perspective, but doesn't bursa the market can care less if people die of cholera, really, that's not their job. that job is making money and leave them not very well

fine. 10 years later, a law is passed that prohibits companies from cutting off the water supply to those who haven't paid that 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 of water. namely, private equity for valve cio funds. they are hungry and completely unaccountable. they may be funds which have a 10 year life and they therefore they need to get their returns over that decade that they will be the owners. and then they need to find a new and say you have a lot of international vestos people who may never have been to a water plant in yorkshire, tall or maybe never been to yorkshire. their fathers is wonderful. business truly

said links, you don't need to know anything about water and you don't need to care anything about water. the new owners arrived from canada, hong kong i'm a lazy in london, thames water distribution authority that covers 20 percent of the country is bought by the australian based mcquarrie farmers. i was aware of mccore, i mean, they were quite a famous institution in australia where they've been, they know 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 is going to be population growth. if this population grows, this can reward something trunk. david hall is the man who revealed this war to scan in 2017, he published a study which he detailed 30 years of abusive practices. rising bills, soaring dividends to shareholders, and tax evasion. a caricature of financial capitalism. ah, we ended up to closing for a belts $2.00,

billions pills per year was being taken out of the system by private capital. no brain reason for that was that the dividends. lo, pinewood cells were very high, a very regular. so this companies were perfect cash machines. they still are, they still are everybody believes correctly that we are being swindled by the water filters walk david whole study than did was it said, is this really how you think that essential services should be exploited? i think is a pathway by financial interests so aggressively. the

australia based mcquarrie funnels was a shareholder contempt water for just over 10 years. when it sold its fun 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 is any one source of money in the whole water industry and that is the customer. 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 they've taken out. those have just gone i think they take a few that this is a victimless crime. ah, funny thing about you case experience we 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,

with me, my some mites and helping each other. but now it's like dog eat dog world at the my space with the water policy ah, water has become like it is bought and sold with a single click. thanks to mobile phones and an application connected to the market available 24 hours a day. it's price changes day depending on supply and demand. mm

in the world of water markets, the key players of the agricultural industry, as is the case with webster. the country's largest producer about the directors of this company are among the richest water owners at the head of a reserve with more than $200000000.00. that owns a mass, cultivated and exported all over the world in relation to the amount of water used . this is their most profitable crop. on this phone, brendan barry has the title of water management. this is
