so as an activist i'm very concerned that this stuff these things are used as an excuse to shut down important political voices ok george bought a political activism social justice campaign or leave it there and apologist have years if i found any of those terms offensive. now for more on our stories please go to cancun one at the top of the hour my colleague neil harvey will be here with the latest headlines for me. is what a company is a profitable public firm that supplies cheap water has a more than a half a million households a small percentage five point four six is already owned by the french multinational suez. what it was like oh my goodness where is there's no cigarettes and i use of course under the stars so you know that is the simple message really bob. doesn't get them out of this only get. money out of this and.

then they're going to share some more should therefore up with elizabeth. may you know if you feed. in a moment for your kids then. you could be you see. they known as the last of those ices the. little gems upon the better santa grocers record if you remember the chair of. the buy d.a.p. is greece's largest water company it provides five point five million people with water. in it by the los idea for. up.

ng that's the nice guy it's no better cut as they mean above especially his helmet on the rebel element at least with our senior analyst in my system of a.t.m. machines it will mumble more than just tell when a much more efficient girl a ship you might get. to go on a sunday i stop all people it is a strong last them are cynical enough strategy. leap yet is a strong ass at least reste so typical myself at least it oughta shape dallas fed. will not i'm a potty payoff i said this is young people keep our. power increases their dad was a power fashion up high school. there's a. democratic shill dysphasia. it

you know pretty nifty. and i don't want to privatization officially it's not the commission's policia mississippi state however it's true if you look at the troika us and if you look at the memorandum of understanding between for example the troika and portugal the commission as part of the troika is asking to further privatized across the book to go so in the troika the commission is still pushing for privatization so if it is really a human right and if you really are serious to the citizens at today's initiative we should start acting on policies instead of celebration. thank you.

see if you do this on how i wish was fitting. into your. sympathies. for us as you watch fundamental me. that i compose. each could have. this but if it is a so you could if it were. concerned about the pressure being put on southern countries european water movement activists ropes to read. the highlights of the european commission as part of a troika so to force southern european countries mainly greece and portugal to privatized that. they say that is unacceptable and must stop.

a few months later the commission's reply leaves everyone speechless. the commission believes that the privatization of public utilities including water supply firms. can deliver benefits to society when carefully made. to death. in bunches was as they considered often to cosign. such nice bets on i consume of accepted going to see best fit it was something. that i could do so much and also did some enormous your comic every nothing yeah if it's out of the depth of a thought if i thought that id goes a little botany see me but i should have to do all those no gosh but it could be open and not by deed to disk you sure could get into disuse your bridge you know

that. is what makes premium opinion go center six pm device you can you could feel secret. he. did. not look at dog ac receive these dual result was that he's very serious. when detroit you came to ireland they wanted to privatized the water utility. but there was no water utility. the water was sprayed in twenty seven local authorities so they were told or government by the troika to build. the irish government at. a company called irish water. which began installing meters. side to

people's homes. on divorce protests took place. in scads of the city of clark already a woman went out in the morning and said you are not putting up be the outside my house. the children that are coming into this station who didn't want the water meters that was asked. what he and i were to there was a mass of supportive people here to stop that. and this was the forst time that the irish people had taken a stand on any issue since a steady had begun says the troika ride to toes and i'm not. told. i thought i thought it was my. god i think for some people it probably was the straw that broke the camel's back. and no

one of the sudden moves in the street together. and people who are joining the docks and you know what has the water meters got to do. with the fact that you can't see a doctor should go to a hospital what have the water meters got to do with the banks coming in taking people so this. you know this is true or don't need a little bit of power you can cool and fun to try but you can't stand outside your house there's your polar and it might be true years and we're still not finished. but people are still resisting this because it is the one thing that they have power and they're never going to give it up. and we knew that this is big something different it's not. it's about water forced to foremost but it's also about much more than war it's about to hurt to be

trailed. the surrender of sovereignty and the redistribution of our west operatives and their debt downwards. there is a problem with the leaks and we couldn't find them until we have brought in some natures so if i see my solution and suddenly it says it's a million liters a month for a couple of days in my house i go that temperature so that's reason for the missiles. and islands there were no meters because they had a completely different system of water charges. the irish paid through general taxation. over one billion euro was intended for the maintenance and operation of the water system. some people think those paper water through taxation is

a little bit crazy we really only country in the o.e.c.d. . it has zero war poverty and we're the only one with the a lot of poverty because we only want to pay for a trip to the us a general taxation that's the one thing we got right and we'll keep it and the rest you should look at for follow us listen to us because the dumb irish got this one right. we really need to modernize our russia structure so now we really have to invest. so we need a structure to invest we need to wait borrowed money and then we need a way to pay for it paying out a general type stations people who work would probably end up paying more taxes. we are losing forty seven percent of our street and walk into the ground in leaks before it gets to the top. nobility in europe to spend do i choose to spend it on

me to use or do i choose to spend not billion euro in fixing the leaks and building in your structure. despite the water having been paid through general taxation. no tax exemptions were plans to offset the new charges. i said i want to thank god you can enforce a law that made against the most recent. threats of paying for water twice led most citizens to regard the introduction of me to some challenges as a measure and the company. my insistence that the legislation would have to include three point one the legislation must before it went into the parliament it wasn't in it. starts from the central subsistence office in your state you can say that would you

please take these words out of the report. so then the report came back from your side towards the. you know the palestinians have used the united nations as a weapon of war against the future of peace both for palestinians and israelis the united nations general assembly has passed more resolutions against the democratic state of israel that it has against north korea and iran and syria combined so that you know it is a bubbling cauldron of hatred and anti democracy. here's what people have been saying about redacted in the night suzanne it's full on

awesome the only show i go out of my way to find you know what it is that really packs a punch oh no. yampa is the john oliver of hearty americans do the same we are apparently better than food to see people you've never heard of love back to the night my president of the world bank though kate has really. seriously sent us an e-mail. i.

think that the decision has already been made and everything is ready for the big day. following the examples of berlin and italy and the people of thessaloniki will be called upon to say through a non-binding referendum whether they want the water company to be privatized as planned by the government. suddenly however on the eve of the ballot there's a problem. there is that it is the body of the users they see fit and that if the end of the scene is not the case may not quote the arms into the school and the people who are making a little bit this will. interior minister younis make a lock is in a circular sent out the whole municipality is declared the referendum illegal then

then it got to topeka kind of it will not have six in the christmas numbers i love it and i think i was asleep but don't see it as my photo editor going to give my police the moment of course the physical is going to but it is enough that it is. they. also did a couple things mike at that this if you tickle pace is to say officer i don't need but i'm going up officer to somebody needs to pick it up timothy malvo yes i stay disciplined with a good defense system if he has a couple. of days to close the e.c.s. even if his but a man of the city to call b.c. to put them all on so let them on your place to put up some with

a lot of boredom. thank french president demand will micron's on official trip to absence thanks is accompanied by forty french businessmen each with an interest in the greek privatization program. today they'll have the opportunity to directly question prime minister alexis to press along among them as sean louise shows up the sewage c.e.o. is company has its eye on greece's water company's. many pot of hell of. a lot for us you guys you've got

a book but if you're my because. i've been vicious us to go out there now look you know if you look at the broader obviously the more you know the left over on a. little slant most focused on you know well. if you could easily missed all of them people should say it was a misstep. you can. you know. that . made. me. feel desperate to be able. to get into. the country is now obliged to transfer all state owned assets to the super fund. a new anonymous company with a life expectancy of ninety nine years whose management board will also consist of

representatives of lend us. the water companies are among those assets but the government still promises they will not be privatized. they need to go to the these men up the p.f. that show you may go straight to bed b.c. must then say good b.c. he adds that i don't like and go to some extent but only get upset at the pot yet if i see both the state i only sees that i did piece of above the seas fifteen at least a piece that. crosses from a loss who took part in the thessaloniki water movement became the alternative minister for the environment and was put in charge of water management following the state's council's decision he's trying to salvage at least fifty one percent. of the if it was in the midst of the most. used with the going to get this bill to get the. government with. it is that the what i mean this is it

since the. there was it's thought ickes the bit that it's. in twenty fifteen and as became minister of the environment on the ports. bill's newly formed left wing government after the twenty fifteen elections water policy changed soon enough to. open slot is will deal a first time of the vs a pulse the believe it's the hope if they meet the fat yeah it will slow team is the end this use could they call sawyer at the vastness. of the bash. that was good nope it is say the d.v.d. it was not received boustany betis is that we will see the events. unfortunately

the government has washed its hands of these cases according to portugal's constitution municipalities are autonomous and the state is forbidden to intervene . to improve well those who vote on d's bossiest c.d.o. but if it is our problem have us into. a veto mundo us most of us all to the real cull if he so she had already the of the divorce for you mineral. the key is to kick you boil it is for us as well etc. marcellus and passes to fight anna have to get by on their own.

best to go mr knows he has no choice he is bound to pay a huge amount of compensation one hundred seventy two million euros will go to the private water company because the boss and us municipality failed to reach the envisaged population and water consumption targets. the municipality also realized it had lost all technical know how regarding water management. going to the shelves in libya. eat the eggs you would buy put the board. so mr gomes decided to negotiate with the company will she be so maybe to start. fights known by spark to give the thread. themselves to two versions. home with vs once without is no. good to. visit when

you lose even a no such but that you've. encountered one week you leave would you eat fish just a double again but a blackout. passes different era but the most expensive water in portugal did not appeal to the courts. umberto brito seeing troubles realized that the game was lost and try to negotiate with the company. could begin to. look seems to me was going to go to them as well look misleading lucas and cooper the uses of food through the newer of the past freedom at their leisure that were bison was simple to see and. every over no no. no no no.

activists against water charges often patrol this cork neighborhood. you know if they find an irish water crew installing meters they try to force them to leave. and we say no why do you need me know everybody knows that nothing is set in stone yet. the commission keeps pushing islands to comply with the community directive and impose meters and water charges on its citizens. and there is this principle which is. framed in the water directive that the polluters should be sold there should be a direct responsibility of this cannot be done with a general exception obviously next friday we meet same time. we'll do that. yet only at the end we don't act and we. faced with an precedented public

disobedience the government is trying hard to maneuver between public discontent and the demands of brussels. what we're trying to do you know in a small way they would say has to happen because the european union told us it has to happen because detroit at all unless that's what it helps to become tom logic on its head very very quickly because when the european commission after the different opinion something gets for example that apple corporation older citizens of this country talked to bill talked in billion euro suddenly the ideology walks in the next and suddenly the new liberal say the european commission it's only an opinion we're part of europe but it doesn't it doesn't take away our ability to meet our own decisions in relation to how we tax how can do european commission take away our ability to meet our own decisions in relation to water for an opinion of the very same body and the very same people alone has to be her own decisions in

relation to given apple a thirteen billion year old gift. well all you have to do is look at puppets to explain those contradictions. i. see. all of these situations and all of the peoples of europe need to start having an honest conversation with each of. us missing blasi whole movement to defend. these good people basically need to be made nice the same with

a. system that when they're trying a western union to get them out of the government and then them kind of can see and i wouldn't have a dogmatic approach to. was. going to come into shores to do are so many players on a company that to sell. beer shite would decent people qatif. cross europe people are saying you know. enough is enough. can we have our social europe back. yes. whatever this song all these.

are it's. as if there's. no one. whose goal even though. to the. different streams of faith through. this letter. how does it feel to be a share of the greatest job in the world it's as close to being a king as any job there is one business model helps to run a prison now we just do or don't like is there no b.o.b. is the case and i don't no one comes in anymore we don't have to sarge me anymore is cost effective that's what they want to do that as long as they don't give a damn if you need to charge or not they're actually paying us to put it back into the louisiana incarceration rate is twice as high as the us sam preach what she

could is behind such success. with this manufactured consensus instant of public wealth. when the room in clusters and project themselves. with the famous merry go round lifts only the one percent. we can all middle of the room six. million real news is. going to walk off selling you on the idea that dropping bombs brings peace to the chicken hawks forcing you to fight the battles that still. do stops by to tell you that it's not because of the public lifestyles of the foreigners. off the bad guys and tell you on the cool enough and let's fight.

the hawks that we along with all the walking. the u.n. general assembly is holding an emergency session on donald trump's decision to recognize jerusalem as the capital of israel as the us president alabaster both threatened us vote against america. use of the detail obstructed the security council you shameful that if we didn't use even taking place in violation of the rights of palestinian people america will put our embassy interests one this is bullying and will not walk to the road on. a new report claims ten
