i said i want to. be a good of forcing what i mean. able to resist. the threat of paying for water twice led most citizens to regard the introduction of meat as and challenges as another austerity measure and the establishment of irish water as the first step towards privatisation. mr ferguson down with the minister tusk by the government with setting up the new company. clearly didn't work out quite as we expected. it was never on the agenda from my perspective that it could would or should ever be sold or privatized when i was discussing this matter with my officials at the time i insisted that the legislation would have to include three point one to lead to say she was handed to me before i went into the parliament it wasn't in it.

was real. central office and i didn't say of course we all know privatisation is ultimately envisaged. and then there was a letter from disinterested just example saying you're stuck you can say that would you please take these words out of the report. so then the report came back from years out towards the. light from many clubs over the years so i know the game and so i got. the ball isn't only about what happens on the pitch for the final so. it's about the passion

from the fans it's the age of the super money just kill you narrowness and spending to twenty million. it's an experience like nothing else going to because i want to share what i think what i know about the beautiful game great so will transfer. the thinks it's going to. run out of the uk upload to the best out of the jaws of. the concepts those paying to perform i have actually passed myself to die i. don't know so i need what i'm sorry no no sorry trust me last time. as most of. you want to snow and homo stuff tariana her to come on.

this continent was. she had the goods sewed on. so we'll see if you think. what trying to show you there was any good with us there was just not yes get more here to decommission. education there are a couple hundred twenty b.s. i mean a very good job. yes . the decision has already been made and everything is ready for the big day.

following the examples of berlin and italy the people of festivity key 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. she. said it would take somebody. they see fit the end of the scene at least they can not quote the enter into the school and the people who are making a little bit of this. interior minister younis make a lock is in a circular sent out the old municipalities declared the referendum illegal and then it got to kind of it when not in the christmas numbers a lot of the couples are putting up savers muffed or. going to make it a victim i believe you speak of course physical is going to become some of it is.

also difficult but there is much about this if you tickle basis to say yes of this i don't need to but i've been opposed to somebody needs to be good at these to mckinnell the house and state is supposed to fit the defense's position as a couple a good thing it's just the hosts the b.b.c.'s even if his but a man implicitly to call b.c. to put them on also all of them on your place to put up some of the budget boredom .

thank french president emanuel micron's on an official trip to weston's 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. among them as sean louise shows the sewage c.e.o. is company has its eye on greece's water company's. many pot of hell of. a lot from us you guys you've got a book on the back of my because. i've been vicious. it got them out. a bit more years now and the lepto brought out. a. little flat last time you know.

if you missed. it was i must. be is that. you. and. me. don't know don't stop it you know me. it's. tough 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 this 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 get these men up ok it show you may know it was cheeky very same as they say it could be he he

asked me that i don't like and go to some extent but only get upset at the park yep if i see both the state i may see it but that is going to be a piece of a part of 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 council's decision he's trying to salvage at least fifty one percent. after which the if it was in the midst of the most oil it. was just want to get used to gives good luck with the going to go to the loo and get this built the sooner we get the tube in there it's a go the governments with. it was just over what i mean this is it's that we're going to produce what i was it's what ickes the put.

in twenty fifteen and as became minister of the environment and portugal's newly formed left wing government after the twenty fifteen elections was a policy change soon enough to. a system of the vs a pulse the believe it. but they meant that that yeah it will be in this use could they. be. the bash. that. nope it is they sort of feed it was not received me but this is the view we see the vamps. 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 quantization you see these dimple wells we've got

on d.s. bossiest cd you know but if that is our problem there for us most interest and. others that i can veto mundo us most of us all to the real cull if the socially sheepish get already out at the at the divorce place for you minerals but us all to the key is to kick you boil in this us as well etc. marcellus and passes to farah have to get by on their own. mr gomes 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 bottomless 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 their shelves in new d.s.t. eat good she would buy put it aboard. so mr gomez decided to negotiate with the company was she so maybe. starship was awful guzzled a possible actual work was artifacts known by spark your theory of the thread. themselves to the version without whom is vs one school without is no. don't. visit when you lose even a no suspect that you've. encountered believe you if they just say double again but a blackout. passes different era but the most expensive water in portugal did not

appeal to the courts. on berto brito seeing troubles realized that the game was lost and try to negotiate with the company. you know seems to me was going to be good to me and look misleading lucas and cooper to you this if you see those new word of the past freedom at that he for the. bison wasn't going to sit. oh and. 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 now what do you mean when we know everybody

knows that nothing is set in stone yet. the commission keeps pushing ireland to comply with the community directive and impose meters and water charges on its citizens. the jury is that this principle which is. framed in the water directive that the polluters should be sought there should be a direct responsibility of this cannot be done with a general exception obviously next friday we meet same time. and we'll do that right. on at them we don't act and we. faced with unprecedented public disobedience the government is trying hard to maneuver between public discontent and the demands of brussels. what are 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 of us that's what it helps but we can time logic on its head very very quickly because when the european commission after different opinion something acts for example that apple collaboration all the citizens of this country talk to be taught 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 you nepean commish take away our ability to meet our own decisions in relation to water four in opinion of the very same body and 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 to the contradictions.

that. all of these situations and all of the peoples of europe need to start having an honest conversation with each other. was. to ask considerably the whole movement to defend. these good people basically knew the name nice for the scene with a. system that when they're trying a western i mean to get them out of the government go in and then kind of i wouldn't have a dogmatic approach to. was. going to

come into shores can you are so many players on a company to to sell. beer . when decent they will cut to. crush europe people are saying you know. enough is enough. and we have our social europe back. yes. whatever this song all these. rights. of. it will. who voted no. to the.

different series of fictional. worlds is let. everybody i'm stephen bob taft hollywood guy you know suspect every proud american first of all i'm just george bush and r.v. to say this is my buddy max famous financial guru and well just a little bit different i'm not. going to win those up with all the drama happening in our country i'm hitting the road have some fun meet everyday americans. and hopefully start to bridge the gap this is the great american people which. two americas two intensely charged in opposing news narratives to cable news

networks reflect these divisions or rather function as triggers intensifying cultural divide also what has happened to journalism is it now a profession inhabited by hacks in the politically possessed despite its turbulent history the soviet union has dominated international sport however little was known about the lives of those champions from the. right more mature. more moved there will. be remembered. this is where the order of your. list will be reserved for you or your wardrobe the first some of you to limp it team of one nine hundred fifty two when. he did seem similar it was concentration camp prisoners and front line soldiers but it still thinks maybe in this good

headlines on r t international with two days to go until the winter olympics get underway the hopes of dozens of russian fighting a legal battle to overturn a banned from the games diminishing. ecuador says it will continue to protect. its embassy in london after a british judge ruled the wiki leaks co-founder still wanted for arrest. a new party is being launched in the u.k. with the a move. to support it's getting from the channel has led to accusations of french meddling britons in.

mid-morning on wednesday here in moscow you're watching international. it is now just two days and till the twenty eight hundred winter olympics get underway and it's still unclear who will compete the court of arbitration for sport has heard the case of dozens of russian athletes but no decision was reached today the session has now been adjourned until tomorrow the russian athletes are challenging the international olympic committee's decision to ban them from competing in south korea over the doping scandal in just a few moments here on the program we will go live to south korea and speak for more details with our. now on the program julian assange is to remain stranded inside the ecuadorian embassy that is after a british judge ruled that an arrest warrant for the wiki leaks founder remains in

force the president of ecuador says his country will continue to protect our such. our government inherited the issue of the mistress sons from our predecessors clearly it causes a certain inconvenience but since the first days in office we pledged our support for him until he is safe and we believe he is in danger the london court ruling is important but it will not change our position we will continue to protect mr sands under international refugee little. now with the court rule ruling going against him looks to stay holed up in the ecuadorian embassy in london sweden has dropped all criminal rate which argues against him that was last year the u.k. says it will still arrest him if he leaves the embassy effectively leaving us aren't in limbo human rights campaigner peter tatchell believes if a stanch does step one foot out of that door he could easily be extradited.

there's no doubt that the bottom line in your son's case is the very serious and likely risk that he would be extradited to the united states to face a whole raft of very serious charges including espionage which can in theory carry the death penalty at the very least he can expect forty years in prison and possibly life imprisonment so it is totally understandable that as a rational human being journalists aren't would not wish to step outside the ecuadorian embassy when that risk of arrest the next addition to the u.s. hangs over his head. on tuesday a song took to twitter over a minor scare at the ecuadorian embassy in london apparently a package was delivered to him containing a written threat and then identified white powder police inspected the package it turned out not to be dangerous but it's not all being threats five years

inside that small embassy means julian assange has had plenty of time on his hands to entertain visiting friends and supporters.

so it is now a two days until the twenty eighteen winter olympics get underway but it's still unclear who will be competing with the court of arbitration for sport has been here in the case of dozens of russian athletes but now we understand that no decision was reached today in fact the session has been adjourned let's cross live now to pyongyang chang. joining us here the very latest that we really are. hello again indeed the session has been adjourned it was happening in the hearing room so you can see on my right and this is where history is being made on wednesday and thursday and this will definitely be a decision that will go into the sport's history books after a few hours of hearings on wednesday the court of arbitration for sports secretary general came out to deliver a statement that happened about fifteen minutes ago he said that for now the court

hasn't made up its mind just yet tomorrow they will convene the lawyers will be there again and he said that the is to make sure that some sort of decision is delivered before the opening ceremony but mr secretary-general couldn't guarantee that now this is a huge court case forty seven russian athletes with a clean doping tests history versus the international olympic committee but in a sense it's a battle of the court of arbitration for sports or cass and the i.o.c. here's why a group of russian winter athletes was initially a few months ago banned by the international olympic committee for life their medals were taken away all of this was last week overturned by cast but were guard less of that the alum pick officials still decided to flash the red card now plus

there were also russian athletes who didn't get lifetime bans but still despite never being caught for cheating they heard that they can't come to being young and the careers and the olympic dreams of these two group of athletes that a swiss law firm is trying to save right now the swiss lawyers are also saying that the grounds for these lawsuits are. the nontransparent criteria that was used for the c rulings plus the unlawful nature of the verdict itself but most importantly the discrimination on basis of citizenship now also you've got to remember that some of the people whose fate is being defended here are reigning olympic champions and.

the limping movement does not consider me an athlete who deserves to be a part of it without even providing an explanation i've never given a reason to doubt my honesty and my integrity. the games in korea were to be the first in my career together with my bottom and we've been working towards this olympics for many years it was my cherished dream. and i was shocked to lympics my dream and i was working towards this goal throughout my entire sports career i've given no reasons to doubt the increase. so just to put it very much the court of arbitration for sports and the international olympic committee don't see why the court clears russian

athletes but we can't be bothered by that and i can tell you that this almost put the torgan ization on the brink of conflict the cast secretary general just denied it but you can see for yourself from the previous statements. due to insufficient evidence the if you held the sanctions and their individual results achieved in such reinstituted who these kinds of decision she streamlet disappointing these decision shows the urgent need. for reform. in the internal structure of costs. well in any case the court will have to make up its mind quickly again the opening ceremony is just around the corner it's coming up on february ninth and that is friday but whatever the

decision will be the russian sports the court of arbitration for sports and the international olympic committee will never be the same. and that was articulated trying to live in pyong trying all a bit earlier we spoke to a russian skater she did not receive an invitation to the game to spite actually being cleared by cas a week ago. grossman there were also some of it it is sad for me to see other russian athletes posting videos and photos from korea clearly the first explanation which comes to mind is that they want to get rid of the strongest competitors maybe they were upset because we were ranked first at the sochi winter olympics they give no explanation do not share their reasons that's why the fear of losing seems the only plausible motive behind the decision i saw those looks from my foreign colleagues i heard them sneaking around some foreign athletes even took pictures of me it wasn't a pleasant feeling.
