nourse ng that's the nice excel predicate as the mean of a stationary helmet on a rebel element at least with a senior analyst in my system of a.t.m. machines is a moment limited to tell when a much more efficient girl a ship you might get. to go on a sunday i stop all people to a strong last them off center but another strategy. leap yet is a stronger ass rescale reste so the bulk of myself at least it ought to shape balustrade. more not that i'm up to c.p.a.'s i said this is young people keep our. own keys there are dead. power fashion in place you. there's a. shill decision. it's

you know pretty nifty. and i don't want to privatisation 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 a spot 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. thank.

senior producer not wish was sitting. mostly with. your. sympathies. for us as you watch it because fundamental means. that i compose you. each could have. told us but if it is a song you could if you're. 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 the troika so to force southern european countries mainly greece and portugal to privatized there. 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 could appear at this one as i was in bunches was as they counted a duffer to cosign. such a nice best son i consume of accepted don't know c s q it would put out if it was something i don't. know so did some enormous economic every nothing yeah if it's out of the depths of a thought if i thought that id goes a little botany see need to shift to be all. and not by did. you sure could get all going to dismiss your bridge you know that. is what makes

premium opinion dissenters extreme events you can you could feel secretly got lucky let me be the last i did. not look at dog ac yourself these dual result listens and a very serious one. 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 our government by the troika to build. the i was government at. a company called irish water. which began installing meters.

aside to people's homes. on divorce protests took place in the toolbar in scads of the city of clock glory a woman went out in the morning and said you are not putting up be the outside my house. i told him they were coming to this tears vision one of the water meters and that was asked. what he and i were to there was a mass of supportive people here to stop them. and this was the first time that the irish people had taken a stand on any issue since a steady had begun says the troika ride to toes in the night. i told her. i thought i thought it was. i think for some people it probably was the straw that broke the camel's back. i don't know if

a sudden move in the street together. and people who are joining the docks and you know what have the water meters got to do with the fact that you can't see a doctor should go to a hospital what the water meters got to do with the banks coming in taking people so this. you know this is sewer phone a little bit of power you can cool and fun to cheika but you can stand to thank your folks. there's a polar and it like 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 be something different to talk 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 upwards 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 suddenly it says it's a million liters and more for a couple of people in my house i get all that tempting true so that's the 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're the only one that pays for a trip progressive 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 it all my 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 wage borrowed money and then we need a way to pay fresh paying out of general taxation people who work would probably end up paying more taxes. we are losing forty seven percent of our treated water into the ground in leaks before it gets to the top. no billion new up to

spent 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. of forcing more than me against evil as worse as. 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 while i was discussing this matter with my officials at the time i insisted that the legislation would have to include three point one delivered to say she was handed to me before i went into the parliament it wasn't in it. starts real. central office and i have it says 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 us i would towards come.

join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guests of the world of politics school business i'm show business i'll see that. the politics will wash them up and driven by the fossil fuel energy lobbyist they could of 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 but because they kowtow to those lobbyist they got stuck in the coal business which it up liberated by the gas business which is a truly dodgy had to for a lot of reasons and now it's going to be obliterated by the chinese led revolution in song.

about your sudden passing i have only just learned you were a south in taking your last wrong turn. you're at us we all knew it would i tell you i'm sorry for me i could so i write these last words and hopes to put to rest these things that i never got off my chest. i remember when we first met my life turned on each fret. but then my feeling started to change you talked about more like it was a cave still some are fond of you those that didn't like to question our ark and i secretly promised to never be like it said one does not leave a funeral the same as one enters the mind it's consumed with death this one difference may speak to you now because there are no other takers. to claim that mainstream media has met its maker.

the united states can always had a right to things it's news and it's been attacks on other countries for. economic sanctions or are often just the beginning another thing you like to do is place some military pressure on the countries a true 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 head. and we need to make rules for the rest. because without us there will be change.

but i think 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 is that it is the body. they say that if it be seen it not it is not quite the end into the school and the people who are maybe a little bit this oh interior minister younis make a lockets in a circular sent out to all municipalities declared the referendum illegal i think then i got to go puke i mean that one not what i've said from the christmas numbers i love it and i think i was asleep but your service must go up and i meet

a victim i believe you speak of course physical is going to become some of it is. my mate. but apples at the typical potatoes market that this if you tickle pieces to say you have to stand on nicky butt are going up officer to somebody needs to pick it up timothy not all of them yes an estate is supposed to give a disposition as a couple they did. this to the b.b.c.'s even of his but a man who proceeded to call b.c. to put on almost all of them the money a place to put up some with a lot of water. thank

french president emanuel micron's on an 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 the law among them as sean louise shows up the sewage c.e.o. is company has its eye on greece's water companies. many part of hell of. a lot from us you guys we got on the back of my because. i've been vicious us to go out there now look you know from a bit more you know the left elbow it

a. little flat most focused on you know well. if you look each of them people should say it was a mustache used to be used. you i mean you know they don't let you. get ones. did. you not mean. 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 these things

up ok it show you may go straight to bed b.c. must really excited to see the happy like out and go to some extent but when we get upset at the park yep 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 council's decision he's trying to salvage at least fifty one percent. of the most oil and. with the going to get this bill to get the governments with. i mean this is it's going to but what i was is it's what ickes the put that it's.

in twenty fifteen and as became minister of the environment and the portugal's newly formed left wing government after the twenty fifteen elections. what a policy change soon after. all in the slightest will deal a first time of the vs a pulse that if it is a set up if they didn't have that yeah it will slow team is the in this use could they call sawyer at the vastness. of the bus. school that this kid nope it is say the divvied it was nice but this is the view will 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. to improve well those who vote on d.s. bossiest c.d.o. but even that. have us into. like a veto mundo us most of us all to the real cull he so she had already the it to the divorce place for you minerals. the key is to kick you boil in this us as well etc . marcellus and passes to fight anna 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 botanist 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 there's a shove in d.s. ph should by poor body and abroad. so mr gomes decided to negotiate with the company will she be so maybe thought started all of all doesn't. know by spark just to give the three of. them ships the two versions. home with vs one without is no. good to. visit when you lose ied and know such but that you've. england leaving 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 barcelona's troubles realized that the game was lost and try to negotiate with the company. good. luck seems news would have been to look misleading lucas and cooper to users of food through the new world of the past freedom at that he for that work bison wasn't going to pursue. 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. the jury is that 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 don't act on 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 are trying to do you know in

a small way they would say it has to happen because the european union toss it has to happen because detroit at all of us that's what it helps but we can tom logic on its head very very quickly because when the european commission afros a different opinion something. for example that apple corp older citizens of this country talked to bill talked in billion euro. suddenly the ideology walks in the us and suddenly the new liberal say the european commission it's only an opinion we're pound 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 commish 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 kids missing plays the whole movement to defend. you people basically need to be made nice that the scene. he is demanding that it's from our western union to get them out of the government go in and then we kind of can see and i wouldn't have

a dogmatic approach to. was. going to come into shores can you are so many players on a common type leave it to yourself. via shite when decent they will cut teeth. 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. who voted no. to the time.

difference street affection. just let. what politicians do something to. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president i'm sure. most somewhat want to. have to go to the press to see what the before three in the morning can't be good. i'm interested always in the waters of my house. this city. is the middle east stumbling towards a region wide war sure looks like it trumps decision to withdraw from the iran nuclear deal and set into play a cascade of events difficult to manage and control does anyone gain

a missing pending cataclysm. seventy four design submissions. seven thousand pilings. to join judges. and eight hundred sixteen nonstop days of work. a russian w.b. . and a russian pop stuff. show you how. long the crimean bridge was built. witnessed the construction moving you need to transport. that will help dogs of crimea to foster most of those you know what google for more snow yep it abuts. join me every thursday on the alex simon short and i'll be speaking to us from the

world of politics sport i'm sure i'll see you then. in twenty forty you know bloody revolution to the demonstrations going from be relatively peaceful political protests to be creasing the violent revolution is always spontaneous. as it. is. still in the middle of the former ukrainian president recalls the events of twenty four. those who took part in this today over five billion dollars to assist ukraine in these and other goals that will ensure a secure and prosperous and democratic. north
