legal on all. the middle east is a hotbed of conflict over many issues but its water way of reaching boiling point me in jordan river has become a bone of contention between israel jordan and syria while governments dispute control of sacred parts is the people who suffer there explains. see home for quhy has always had to worry about water years ago she bought a tank to keep as much of the precious stuff in she needs or to wash her family's clothes twice a week and the rest of the time her children know to keep a shower is short in the jordanian capital h two o. is pretty scarce. and the thinking big families usually buy water tanks so we can have enough water to last the whole week but the tanks are expensive and not everyone can afford them we get water two days a week and those days i switch on the taps and fuel the tanks for

a few hours so we can manage on the other days. it's a problem affecting the whole region competition for water between israel jordan and syria has become so fierce that it's turned the once mighty jordan river into a trickle the rivers being almost destroyed because of the conflict because of the competition every country has tried to block off whatever it can before it reaches the international share of the river so they can keep it to themselves as typical of a conflict situation israel wants to declare the lower part of the jordan river off limits to pull guerrillas who believe this is where jesus christ was baptized by john the baptist pollution and sewage have contaminated the waters to dangerous levels sixteen years ago israel and jordan signed a treaty they're committed to both sides to return fresh water to the river but that has never happened and these pipes pump water from israel to jordan each year

some fifty to sixty million cubic meters pass through them this is enough water for one million jordanians to eat true drink and to wash each year an extra dainian minister says israel is ignoring other parts of the agreement when it comes to. sticking to. the shield which was the. latest plan i'm a member of fifty fifty three so was giving jordan a lot of water to irrigate areas in the jordan valley also to. the supplier to use for domestic supply and to see water in the upland you know for the most except like no this water has been almost diminished but the allegations have provoked fury i would belkin was one of the israeli team which negotiated with the jordanians about how water would be shared between the two countries the

problem is that when he said to the streets it didn't say. quantity i can say very clear. that we are taking exactly the amount of respect to the is the location during the winter. in the summer period. we think even one cubic meter more as the effects of global warming are felt more year on year disputes in this part of the middle east over water will continue to heat up. the r.t. in israel and jordan. from a favorable weather good harvest to healing and the marriages and agent times shamans were in charge of aspects of life but in the modern world their role cannot be underestimated either sean thomas travelled to siberia to meet. valentini gets ready for a day's work packing as things indicating is fairly good by but this is no nine to

five job. i'm a traditional shaman for my people the body at i grew up in a traditional family we lived at a camp where my ancestors lived and even though it was soviet times we still observed our customs and traditions. in siberia along the shores of lake baikal the powers of the sherman who channel and influence the spirits of good and evil are still respected by those who live here. i think they do trust them because many turn for help to shamans in some critical points of their lives a person always wants to have hope and so they pray regardless of their confession a christian a buddhist i just know that people do go to shamans. it is believed that shamans act as an intermediary between the human and natural and spiritual worlds of sherman's healing abilities are said to come from his use of these forces to mend a person's soul so in this modern age what's involved in this ancient role. is

there with you that the main rituals are the following every year we call on rain for our crops and ask for other blessings sometimes we hold wedding rituals but we shamans wait for an invitation they don't impose their practices on anyone this island is known as the heart of lake by call in this spot and particularly. is very spiritual for the shaman and valentine comes here and meets with people from all over so that he can keep ancient traditions and spirituality alive what a newer side is sharman isn't includes tourism as people who visit by call region and grow more curious. yes there are interesting people here and it's not only russian culture but also without culture you can also learn things about shame and culture. interest grows a word to the wise select your sharman carefully. there are huge numbers of shamans

now and the majority of them i can say this because i see it not just fakes i know personally one shaman he used to be high ranked official and got to be some sort of a glamorous shaman after he retired he likes to wear expensive assessors and out with fashionable people there are a few shame is like this but people only go today i'm simply because they don't know the difference. the dryland team it claims his bloodline is rich with true sharman heritage a tradition he plans to continue with the with the. we respect our history and culture traditions and customs worship the holy fire our great ancestors gods of the sky the earth sun and moon worship the creator of the universe mother nature we preach living in harmony with self and with nature. providing a service for those who believe sean thomas r. t. led by carl siberia. international news this hour but he stands president has
