a reaching boiling point the ritual continues to be a bone of contention between israel and jordan and syria i'm all governments dispute control of sacred pots it's the people who polis 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 well 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 that's 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 day in

taking exactly. the amount of respect to the location during the winter. in the summer period we didn't take 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 policy r.t. in israel and jordan. well for favorable weather and a good harvest to hayling and marriage is an ancient times same ones that were in charge of almost all aspects of life but in the modern world their role can't be underestimated either so thomas that traveled to siberia to meet them. valentini gets ready for a day's work packing is 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 but. 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. 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 in particular is very spiritual for the sharman and valentijn comes here and meets with people from all over so that he can keep ancient traditions and spirituality alive what a newer side to sherman ism includes tourism as people who visit my call region and grow more. serious. but 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. as interest grows a word to the wise so lucky or 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 a high ranked official and got to be some sort of
