past commitments. these are these retreating from international commitment. israeli is denying the seizure of its own supreme court to return the land of those sentiments to private. but as an owners, any those so denies a law the law of these engagements which was accepted into so 5 when, when is a pulled out from garza, in other words, you can address any word of israel because if a commitment can be turned down like this, with a new government, then they, you know, partners, possible bothers of these allows them says, what, what does it mean to have a word signed word? this is right. what is what is turning everything back. but by the end of the day,

it is a better which was decided already. i mean one more settlement or one less settlement will not change much. the 2 state solution is dead long time ago. so practically doesn't have much meaning, but symbolically as a lot of meaning. there's an imminent risk of a global water crisis that's according to the un, which is hosting its 1st dedicated conference on water and sanitation. and 45 years in new york with you in says more than 2000000000 people globally experience for the shortages, for at least one month a year. but 26 percent of the worlds population do not have the safe drinking water and almost half lake access to adequate sanitation. the you in wounds that water shortages will get worse in the coming decades, especially in cities, if international cooperation is not boosted even in the countries with vast water

these absorber is not absorbing as much as this. and we want to say, this planet act, and one way to save this planet of besides n, dest accuracy in this is also to upkeep the waters. and therefore, this conference is really, really important to buy another dish. in addition, we also have many diverse which comes from other countries, $57.00, the rest comes from other countries and we have to develop it. program policy said that all the people of that in the line and cashman should be benefit. so what needs to come out of this conference to make it a 6? i think we need to look forward to universal code of conduct in utilizing the what are the sources maintaining the water and also, but you must protect and preserve the water across the nations. it tells us the

good news that so many countries are talking about water and talking about cooperating on its use privately. though diplomats will tell you that all the commitments that come out of this week's conference will be voluntary and there will be no final binding agreement. james bays al jazeera at the united nations. a silly hit on al jazeera held the world's most famous my masses as inspiring a new generation of performers. 100 years after he was born. ah, what is scarcity has become a major labor issue. the demand is going straight up and the supply is going straight down, turning an essential natural resource into a commodity traded for profit. just precocious life doesn't mean it cannot be priced. what about the guy that can't afford it? that guy still needs water?
