well. science technology innovation all the developments around russia we've got the future coverage. i know c.n.n. the m s n b c news have taken some slightly but the fact is i admire their commitment to cover all sides of the story just in case one of them happens to be accurate. that was funny but it's close and for the truth and might think. it's because one whole attention and the mainstream media works side by side the joke is actually on we're going to be coming back. at our teen years we have

a different price. because the news of the world just is not this funny i'm not laughing dammit i'm not. i don't know if. you got a sense of the jokes that will handle the big stuff that i've got to. six

point two billion swiss francs to fifteen billion smiths francs and average grows ten percent. food and beverage amounts and so last forces one hundred million who are. going to want him bruce amounts to stream one seven percent on average we three percent this is reached a level amongst highest painted mine to fears chief executives. lake geneva. is into this lake the melt water flows from the mountains of switzerland. located on the shoreline is the headquarters of a company which deals in water. it's the headquarters of nestling the

most powerful food and beverage company in the. atmosphere we believe that will have a long term business success you must simply famously create value for the shareholders and for that and we call this creating shared value and that is the fundamental principle behind the way we conduct business at nestle could put social responsibility. report this is think is our financial report so i think it's a good balance a good which is we play. when it comes to water it is a global ambassador he travels the world preaching cautious and careful use of his

most precious commodity. he's a captain of big business committed to making money but also a man who speaks of social responsibility so i want to know more about that my first destination is the used to be. when mr lee is hoping the united nations to provide a u.n. refugee camp with drinking water. is one of the humanitarian projects which the company finances as part of its corporate social responsibility program. it's the lack of drinking water the water problem which is also of paramount priority for the u.n. the water crisis is perhaps the most urgent ecological and human threat of our time in their recent world water development report twenty four agencies of the united nations confirmed that the global water crisis is getting worse and threatening millions of people every day it can't benefit the people for the p.o.p.o.

in a way it is possible for either the united nations board vastly to do it by itself . by having a bit know how far i've missed it or the company just with a few expertise so few in h.c.r. be able to assure access to pure water for the parents of south so people. this is the town to which we need to bring back us referring to his knisley we do it's home to some twenty thousand refugees from neighboring somalia. many of them have been here for more than twenty he is waiting for the cooling in the country to store. not that.

i've been expecting something of a showcase project but instead refugees tell me there's a shortage of water. but you see the way down to the converse is sometimes we don't have water for two or three days. due to problems with the boreholes we can have you know what tricity we could and then also it then we have to wait for a specialist to repair the system and get to. the campus supplied by an underground water pipeline the want to being pumped from the valley some twenty kilometers away. nestle to find out the water supply system and according to peter brown that is committed to its long term operation. so the body of the noble well. before the time.

given all. this is now running out of. the funding we've bought. me. no. no no it's no good this. they did in two thousand and two thousand and two thousand and four they support it and this is. out of not only more already got the budget. nestle's commitment to the camp is finished but according to the company. website it's still continuing oh aimee's to make sure that the water system can keep functioning with the law. so that the people of their reach. and their children

will have fixes to clean water maybe years into the future. is brought back intentionally playing up nestle's commitment or is the company's p.r. perhaps getting just a little too enthusiastic. the water companies are in this for one reason and that is profit and sometimes they connect up to a project like this for their marketing tools because we all over the world are criticizing them and they're trying to remove their image in the world they don't stick with something unless it's profitable they are a big transnational competitive corporation and they will never state was something for humanitarian reasons. from canada is an ambassador. just like peter brought back. except that she's a consumer activist a winner of the alternative nobel prize and a strong critic of nestle. nestlé

and. we've asked the company for an interview and we're still waiting for apply for the time being we can still know these pictures on the fringes of a media event. nestlé is one of the most profitable companies ever annual turnover exceeds one hundred billion dollars it's the world's largest food and beverage multinational adored by investors big and small. on a quarter of a million stuff. and the chairman of the board is a man with a mission. my i've often wondered what is the most single important factor that could ensure a company continuing for another one hundred forty years and i always come to the same conclusion water. comes to bottled water

nestle is the undisputed well. the company has bought up many of its competitors and now owns more than seventy different brands annual turnover totals more than nine billion dollars. with a takeover of perrier nine hundred ninety two brands. joined the product portfolio . access to the lucrative beverage market in the usa. of course which is also very important which is what this image of our companies will be checking all over the constantly what are people thinking about mass less bryants about ministers responsibility as a corporate citizen. in burn switzerland i have an appointment with a senior nestlé manager. he chose the restaurant. will

nest and give us information about its water business. and an interview with peter brown back. the answer is no. according to the nestle man it would be the wrong film at the wrong time. then he offers to commission from us a film about the global use of you know greek culture. above and beyond that the domes to this night will be closed to us well what. that means no cooperation from nestle from now on we can film peter brown bank only when he makes public appearances but that doesn't deter us so we travel to the country where the company sells most of its will to. a spring water pumping station in the northeast of the usa.

for its poland spring break and nestle pumps out a million liters of water every day. tank so you found some features of water which nestle pays a price of not just to. find the heavy traffic this is a problem the water tankers carry up to twenty five found some of. the time to mrs bachmann looking to. try. and offer and freiburg it supplies about a sixth of the water for poles from bali was the focus of attention today. our cure for what. dr berger if you take in millions are killed to order out of one place they're asked to. that effect somewhere that's why you've invited freiburg residents to dump bottles of cold spring water to the point. that. they don't

belong here they don't have a right to be here and you will if you are allowed. they don't have a right to come here and take the law. in front of a nest and once to build a second pumping station it wants to pump double the quantity of water. but also some consideration the local authorities are refusing the company permission as a result nestle is now suing the town. this truck access from denmark and that water source is something that is crucial to their growth here. it raises the question even more loudly who does the water belong to and if i have a house next to your house and i pump out of my my land where is the line where what i pump out from under my land is coming out from under yours the situation

right now is that the public has said no plan of course said no the appeals court has said no and nestle says so and the appeal was filed i believe last week or the week before. suing the inhabitants of the town of. c.-span a man in my opinion that is an absolute right when someone says they do no wonder bawling operation in their community does also that is something we must also understand as a stand. there's a media leave us so we leave that maybe. by the same motion security. policy there's a goal. which is that no one is asking with the gas that you deserve answers from it's all politics only on our t.v. . wealthy british style.

market why not. come to. find out what's really happening to the global economy with mike stronger for a no holds barred look at the global financial headlines tune into cars a report on our. list and constantly needs new sources of water. here in the state of maine a home team of hydrogen interests is searching for new springs for the company. mr knight requires water rights privately all purchases whole areas outright. which

is what happened in the front a preacher. poland springs are nestle's would like to. tire area here and get all its mountain water and sell it all over the world for money regardless of what it does to the ecology they are very very as stupid. and dealing with. changing regulations or working within regulations. to meet the demands and the goals that they have if there was no. resistance to them coming to town it would be no office with a good labor policy giving away free coffee the funny part is they give away free water they were giving away a case of free water to the first fifty people every month that come in there and for me it's extremely ludicrous because that water is water that we get when we turn our sink they use it up there and wash their hands. and flush their toilets

with the same water. selling is bring water. thank you bob that. in maine opposition is growing many people are angry that nestle is making big money out of their water a meet up again with more bhalo. leslie is a water hunter they're a predator they're not interested in the sustainable use of ground water or this the springs that are the reverse of the springs that they use their out for one thing and that is to make money and so they come into an area and they see the water like water mining like

a gold cup they come in they drain an aquifer until it's gone and when it's gone they move on they don't live there very seldom they don't have any connection to the place they're after profit they're predators water hunters looking for the last piro hotter in the world. in the small town of poland stands a kind of fairy tale council it's a bottling plants dating from the a nineteen zero seven. the original spring now has little water rumor has it the spring ran dry a long time ago but the name has remained today poland spring is the top selling spring water in the usa for less lake a spa claim success in terms of turnout. today in the state of maine the rust free new clothes all cling poland spring water the newest is this one built by nestle in kingfield one hundred twenty kilometers from the original spring. we want

to pay a visit the local media spokesperson said that all she had to do was inform head office. half hour. hour after. the barrier stays down just like the mystery man told us back in the swiss restaurant. my next destination is a wildlife preserve some two hundred kilometers south of conflict. here to the hydro geologists have been successful investors. but a small group of women are against next. i don't think.

that over their water. kind of. that was started. the reason i'm fighting for water preservation is we have a very large water rack were for here that we care very much about what happens to with nestle move their way into it over three years ago without us knowing about it we noticed wells were in place on this land and that's why we began the fight to maintain control of this my passion is we're in a battle of our life with nestle and we're trying to not have nestle come into our town to read. the next leigh decided to put wealth in the ground they go down

a certain number of feet and they let them monor ter the water levels in this area off the land puts or they have not requested a permit to extract they're only testing our area. well here we are we're still this is three years we've been tested. you know how to exploit commercially the massive reserves of water nestle is trying to find private land to the towns of shapley and. from there with months to pump water from the wildlife preserve and at the lowest possible price. in the towns around the preserve nestle has now become a political issue. as a fiber we cannot fight that company on any level playing field they didn't feel it

was necessary to hold a public hearing on this issue this is why local control is so important corporate america has the lights lobby for us they are thing here they are drowning us out it is time for people to stand back up and speak to what they need to address what is right for their towns you live in the towns they don't they live overseas. it is a question of whether the normal water supply for the population should be privatized or not and there are two points of view. one i would call it an extreme point of view. is not supported by n.g.o.s choose. which insist on water being declared a public right. rick. perry's in other words as a person you simply should have the right to have water. that's an extreme solution

. so the other view is that water is a foodstuff. place and just like any food stuff it should have a market value they want our water and they want our water for profit and what they're paying less and a penny a gallon is just outrageous and what happens is they come in and they come in again to these small rural area years where there is very limited government and they use their scare tactics and there have billion dollar company and you can never beat them. nestle might be a wonderful company but i have not seen it we've tried to work with ness but when you find out that nestle weaves their way into our community and the person that wrote our regulatory ordinance was recommended by nestle well the people should be

writing the regulatory ordinance it's our town that's where the tax payers so what we did was we met with a lectern officials and under the regulatory approach in the united states the regulatory approach we have ordinances in each town. and what those ordinances do the regulatory ordinance pretty much tells these companies or a small company or a large company what they can do in their limits and so forth but it only regulates them make that we cannot say no we don't want you in virginia producers of course we know them very well and we have intense discussions with them the situation varies from country to country from city to city or as in the us from state to state. in several countries there are people who are very happy to see us building factories or connecting wells. in our cities and going on you know there's there's discussion of blood whether or not we're interfering with the natural water flow

from so. since the breakout and operation. listening to green tankers to transport vehicle from just wildlife preserve. nestle's battle with the determined women of shop lee and infield has not yet been designed. by followed the big water tank has to haul is made to the lawn just want to bottling factory in the wild. off the water is pumped by nestlé from the area directly behind the factory. the other half is transported in tankas from pumping stations in the hinterland. for one time to load nestle pays ten dollars or even nothing. once bottled the

same water costs fifty thousand dollars when sold across the company as a home spring natural spring. in maine nestle pumps about as much water as that used by the entire agricultural sector throughout the state that's around three billion liters e.-m. and the figure is rising. back in switzerland we're at nestlé is annual press conference for us the opportunity to film inside the company. i'm interested in this latest new brand of water aimed at winning over two. in developing countries.

at the press conference we are offered san pellegrino and we tell water the new product comes the promising name pure life to your life brand for those who don't know ten years ago did not exist and it's an incredible story to go from zero to where we are today one of the top brands yes yes and one of the reasons we've been able to grow grow is we've been able to offer the consumer value good quality water and different parts of the world and it's been very well accepted we're looking to take that asset and expand to more geography more parts of the world we think the growth will in fact continue it's a profitable brand forced to and it's a jewel that we have an opera photo and i our plans are to continue to leverage it so i'm very optimistic about that brand. one water. that's the idea behind your life. your life is purified ground water and reached by

an artificial blend of minute. it's a secret nestle recipe. it's produced locally in twenty seven countries on five continents. it tastes the same every. nestle pure life is now the top selling bottled water in the wild crowing in double digits. the test market for the product was pakistan. well. science technology innovation all the latest developments around russia we've got the future covered. the pledge play was terrible they

are legendary hard to take on to let once again let alone their discipline that never had sex with others make their lives let alone. listen to the american . live.
