all the middle east is a hotbed of conflict and for many it sees bridges war so webb says on reaching boiling point the river jordan continues to be a bone of contention between israel jordan and syria and while governments dispute control of sacred parts it's the people who saw the slayers. see home for quhy has always had to worry about water he has a go 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 their showers 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 as typical of a conflict situation israel wants to declare the lower part of the jordan river off limits to pull grimm's who believe this is where jesus christ was baptized by john the baptist pollution and so which have contaminated the waters to dangerous levels sixteen years ago israel and jordan signed a treaty that committed both sides to return fresh water to the river but that has never happened 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 tree drink and to wash each year an extra dainian minister says israel is ignoring other parts of the agreement when it comes to the reality is that it is sticking to. the share which was decided. latest plan b. fifty fifty three so was giving georgia a lot of water to irrigate areas in the jordan also to. the supplier to use for domestic supply and to seawater into a plant 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 street i didn't say. quantity

i can say very clear. that we are taking exactly the amount of respect to the location doing the winter. in the summer but we didn't take even one cubic meter or 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. now from favorable weather and a good harvest to healing on marriages in ancient times that shamans were in charge of almost all aspects of life but in the modern world by roll call be underestimated either sean thomas traveled siberia to meet one of them. valentini gets ready for a day's work packing as things into kissing his family good bye 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 that are. 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 of 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. in the queue 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. the newer side to sherman isn't includes tourism as people who visit by call region it grow more curious. that yes there are interesting people here there is not only russian culture but also without culture and you can also learn things about shame and content. interest grows a word to the one. eyes 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 rank official and got to be some

sort of a glamorous shaman after he retired he likes to wear expensive assessor hang out with fashionable people there are a few shame is like this but people only go to them simply because they don't know the difference. but valentino 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 the new 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 john thomas r. t. lake baikal siberia. some world news in brief now and president of the independence day celebrations as the country suffers its worst flooding in fifteen years there are all fears the situation might tear you talk to the u.n.

hello and welcome to business grain prices of more than doubled since the start of the drought and the hikes have been further supported bob reduction in the global harvest all cost but despite a temporary ban on grain export local producers are seeking to retain their presence in the international market that innovator reports. the record drought has seen the russian government reduced estimates of the two thousand and ten greenhouse wished to sixty sixty five million tonnes he denounced

a temporary ban on green experts from august fifteenth to december first to shoot domestic consumers from price hikes but then cost global grain prices just search to more than eight dollars per bushel despite analysts saying there is no grain to go around the danger is that given we've been through two thousand and seven two thousand and eight and we saw when prices per se rises in other prices of commodities the danger is that financial markets start to anticipate price growth in other commodities and that's actually what causes a more general food price spike so whilst the fundamentals don't point to a rapid price gains across all of these different markets. anything there are some risks that we need to be vigilant of. prizes gained more support when the u.s. agriculture department reduced. it's global would hold his forecast by two point three percent but it noted that global supplies were more than they were during the two thousand and seven two thousand the green crisis the russian green expert band
