for tots. we are losing forty seven percent of our trees of war into the ground in weeks before it gets to the top. now i've been in europe to spend do i choose to spend it on meters or do i choose to stand up billion euro in fixing the leaks and building a new one for structure. despite the water having been paid through general taxation . no tax exemptions were plans to offset the new charges. forcing one of the major. threats of paying for water twice led most citizens to regard the introduction of meat as an 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 the legislation was handed to me before it went into the parliament it wasn't in it. was really. centrist it's office and i have it says of course we all know privatisation is ultimately envisaged. and then there was a letter from those interested just example say in your start you can say that would you please take these words out of the report. so then the report came back

from you as i would towards. it's seemed wrong but old rules just don't hold. the world yet to shape our lives just comes to the ticket and in games from an equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground.

some officials do not. fully understand or do not fully accept the principle of football being beyond politics that's a fundamental principle of the world football. were granted some people may have opinions but it's their own opinions and doesn't influence opinions of many other football fans who are buying tickets every day in large volumes. united states. and its attacks on other countries. economic sanctions are often just the beginning another thing you like to do is play some military press or countries are talking about. and there

has to be an effort to demonize that country and the leader of that country. we have a responsibility for the whole. and we need to make rules for the rest. because without us there will be change. but. the decision has already been made and everything is ready for the big day. following the examples of berlin and italy 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's a little bit of that yes there's a. face a bit then we see it not at least they can not close the ends needlessly and they become quite maybe a little bit this. interior minister younis make a locket in a circular sent out to old municipalities declared the referendum illegal and then it got to topeka in a kind of a done not by what i've seen in the christmas numbers a lot of the garbage but i don't see it as moscow going to the victim i believe you speak of course is full of fish you can go to them some of it is. my name.

but i pulls the typical potatoes mike at that this if you tickle basis to say officer i don't need to but i've been up officer to somebody needs to pick it up against him again not all the house and state he's supposed to for the defense today she has a couple of good steam it's just the hosts the b.b.c.'s even to spot a man who proceeded to cook d.c. to put the long haul and soul of the new money in place to build up some of the political out of. french president emanuel micron's on official trip to absence. is accompanied by forty french businessmen each with an interest in the greek

privatization program idea. to. they'll have the opportunity to directly question prime minister alexis to press. among them as. the sewage c.e.o. is company has its own greece's water company's. many pot of hell of. a lot for us because we got on the back of my because. i've been this is. a bit more you know. if you tickle. it was i must. be is that. you really have. to be careful that.

you know. if you. have to get into. the country is now obliged to transfer all state owned assets to the super fund. the new anonymous company with a life expectancy of ninety nine years his 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 these things up ok it i'll show you may go straight to bed the 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 yet if i see. the state on the seas but then i did the best they see sniffing at the piece that. crosses from

a loss who took part in the thessaloniki water movement became the old turn. as 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. of the effect of us in the midst of the most fuel oil it. was distilling it just wanted to give up with the going to get this built this little get the dependency of the government with it is just over what i mean this is it's that we're going to produce but i was it's with ickes the point that it's that. in twenty fifteen and as became minister of the environment portugal's newly formed left wing government after the twenty fifteen elections was

a policy change soon enough to. let its will deal a first time as the vs a pulse the believe it's that they didn't have that yet it will slow team is the in this views a good day at the vastness of. the beis. school that is good nope it is a city feed it was no receipt boustany but this is the deed to 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 we're going on d.s. bossiest c.d.o. but if it. was. to veto. of us to the real cull he had already the if that is the last place for you manage

. to kick you. etc. marcello some passes to farah have to get by on their own. mr gomez 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 bottom 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 today or the shelves in would be as good she would buy port.

so mr gomez decided to negotiate with the company was she so maybe. starship almost all doesn't matter possible actual work was artifacts not by fact if that's where. jim shifted to version. almost vs one without is no. lost interest as it would be virgins wasn't zied and also at that even. england leave it to you if they just say 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. you know seems to me was going to begin to look misleading lucas and cooper the

uses of food through the mood 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 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. and we'll do that. only at the we don't that don't we. faced with an precedented 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 it has to happen because the european union told us it has to happen because detroit atones that's what it has become time logic on its head very very quickly. because when the european commission offers a different opinion something it's for example that apple corp older citizens of this country talked to bill talked in billion euro some of the ideology works in

this and certainly don't you liberals say that the european commission it's only an opinion we're powered 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 the unit be in 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 give an 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 the whole movement to defend. these good people basically knew the name nice but the same. system that when they're trying a western union to get them out of the government go in there with enough 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 do so. via shite decent they will cut teeth. crush europe people are saying you know. enough is enough. can we have our social

europe back. yes. he. was. the song of all these. are you. know why. boom leading up. to the time. difference. this is live. coverage we've signed one of the greatest goal people. but there was one more question and by the way who's going to be our coach. guys i

know you are nervous he's a huge star and a huge amount of pressure you have to go meet the center of the beach. and do a great britain you are the rock at the back nobody gets to you we need you to. go . alone. and i'm really happy to join. the world cup in russia. this special one. needs to just read the review theology team's latest edition as we go. look. at the politics in washington up and driven by the fossil fuel energy lobbyist they could have gone into renewables ten twenty years earlier and those jobs would be in place generating good paying jobs in america would be part of

a growing world beating industry because they kowtow to those lobbyists they got stuck in the coal business which by the gas business which is a true jihad for a lot of reasons and now it's going to be obliterated by the chinese led revolution in seoul. in twenty four to you know bloody revolution to the demonstrations going to be relatively peaceful political protests to be creasing the violent revolution is always spontaneous or is it. you know lloyd i mean you are liz put me in the. spelling needle the former ukrainian president recalls the events of twenty four g. and. those who took part in the studio over five billion dollars to assist ukraine in these another goal that will ensure a secure and prosperous and democratic. i

. dozens of palestinians are shot and killed by israeli soldiers on the gaza border in the worst day of violence since the two thousand and fourteen conflict. u.s. soldiers subject themselves to waterboarding to test whether the interrogation technique is a form of torture. and a cleric with strong anti-american views takes the lead in iraq's general election with the most votes now counted.

trying to broadcast live direct from our studios in moscow this is arch international i'm sean thomas certainly glad to have you with us. now the opening of the new u.s. embassy in jerusalem has been marred by deadly violence on the gaza border the united nations condemned israel's use of lethal force after the largest single day loss of life since two thousand and fourteen at least fifty eight protesters were killed on monday according to gaza's health ministry nearly a dozen were children including eight month year old girl who died of gas poisoning and more than two thousand other people were injured as well. donald trump's decision to recognize that jerusalem as the israeli capital last december has caused months of unrest.

what of glorious day remember this moment. was. this is this true. that. the united states will always be a great friend of israel and a partner in the cause of freedom and peace. for the. night prayers are still shooting tear gas canisters on the protesters at trying to disperse all these all these protesters in the e.u.

can see that at the tear gas fired is very concentrated we look and feel it from very very far away there are palestinian protesters that are injured and trapped inside where. the palestinian minister has been the ambulances can't reach them. that. was that was so what happened right now is we heard a huge explosion and. that they israeli air strikes on a place they needed to the protests and they're trying to scare the public. how does just that. throughout the day there was

a bunch of highs regarding violence in fact two hours ago during the highest peak of violence where the protestors and the israeli military forces clashed almost head on israeli military forces using rubber coated steel bullets tear gas canisters stun grenades and other armaments at their disposal against the palestinian protesters were mainly throwing stones and chanting against israeli military forces this had increased as the day went on with things calming down but make no mistake this area was a battle zone before with many protests happening across the west bank from ramallah to nablus to bethlehem and even hebron and other protests have occurred in the region as well with different places such as lebanon and even a man with some protesters going against the these decisions and rejecting these policies that are being presented by the americans. following monday's events turkey recalled its ambassador to israel and the u.s. for consultations france accused washington of violating international law by

moving its embassy to jerusalem others condemned the use of force warning of a negative consequences for the region international relations professor hussein box he told us the situation could upset u.s. relations with key allies. i think not only has she started but also did american turkish relations and. you do expect this though the american government. didn't respond. statement indicates clearly that america is not going to become a mediator anymore and turkey appears alone. against america. in this context what. it will be achieved we will see at the moment it is the time of demonstrations the determination of turkish president to appear. on the protector of the palestinians is.

since very beginning of the government's most you countries decided to boycott the opening of the new us embassy although representatives from hungary romania and of the czech republic were there. but donald trump himself chose not to attend instead he sent his daughter ivanka and her husband the white house advisor jared here is a brief recap of why the status of jerusalem is such a divisive issue. jerusalem is a city that's been a point of contention for nearly a thousand years ever since the first crusaders arrived to drive the muslim population away the nearly two centuries the area was governed by christian congress under the name of the kingdom of jerusalem but the end of the thirteenth century had been a crusade of the holy land and up under muslim control with so much turbulent religious history today the area holds significance for christians jews and muslims alike all regard different parts of the old city to be their holy sites and since

the formation of the state of israel in one thousand nine hundred eighty eight israel considers jerusalem to be its capital the subsequent conflict with the arab neighbors so israel captured and annex the entire city of jerusalem the move has never been recognized by the united nations stands firm on the idea of establishing the two state solution where israel and palestine exist independently so by president trump announcing moving the embassy to jerusalem he's on the line that the u.s. recognizes the holy city to be the capital of israel for the international community that goes against the notion that any change in the city's status should come through negotiations and not take unilateral action as of now out of eighty seven countries that have embassies in israel the u.s. will be the only country to base its facility in jerusalem. i'm standing here in front of the american embassy where in the last few moments an angry crowd has gathered there protesting against him if you need any israeli police are trying to

keep the crowd at bay why you have. i'm here to oppose the there's a by the u.s. administration to relocate their embassy in the heart of the cattell the city in the heart of the city there were thirty five to forty percent of its residents are living under occupation that are not that is the that is their denied basic rights i mean the group at all that's left regular day after jews against the occupation we're here because we oppose transcend the field we think it's playing with the lives of israelis and palestinians alike in our lives and it's. it is not a game what's happening today is illegal and unacceptable and it's our duty to say no admittedly anybody parliamentarian why what do you what do you think about the whole incident we are. in a demonstration which has been liason by there's been a police but immediately after we arrived they attacked us attacked a member of the knesset just because we had it been two of the best known for them

and then they attacked us and pushed us to the back we are here to see that jerusalem east is ok i did a tour it could be the capital of the state the palestine the tensions are definitely running high here as you can see this scuffles and clashes and we're being pushed forward and that. was a lot of anger and. what have let up in fact right out the heart of the firefight up the middle of that up militia didn't we were not i don't think. what all of this coming as the embassy just across the road is opening so while the world is witnessing crum pictures of a historic occasion of the jerusalem industry opening just across the road are these kind of scenes i'm circling where there's a lot of anger and out of frustration and a lot of disappointment that the american government went ahead with this move now

the americans have been putting a lot of pressure on countries to sign up and approve this move although there is a lot of resistance internationally to it we have seen the u.s. ambassador to the united nations making how he was sorting to do teach tactics and writing a threatening letter to consider the vote i want you to know the president and the u.s. take this vote personally he will be watching this vote carefully and has requested our report back on those who voted against us thank you for your consideration and more more question. being asked if the current violence that we witnessing is a response to the embassy me well then just how exactly does the american president try to think that he is going to cut as he has said the deal of the century between israelis and palestinians the israeli military has defended its use of live fire on the border and a spokesman for the i.d.f. blamed hamas which controls gaza. our message to the hamas is clear we will not tolerate this violence we will continue to do.
