kalinda show the social democrat m.p. and berlin's parliament asked for and was granted permission to read the contracts between the state and the two companies. she was led into a windowless room where she wasn't allowed to copy anything or even bring a pen to take notes. no matter what in public private partnership. that's is in p.p.p. it's all. ready there even now on bellina i said michigan. is can this didn't work then given these the first one had been undecided how that alley it went on in there and she skittish and gave those

sheets good taste angles when we as indecent to typify taken all kinds of beatrice and she's going to list on the disk attacked and see how from atlanta i live in. fear and galland a given and i know that gas is i can cliche i can tell youngish slow or not escaping can i for a tough. one as a dismissal of prima shift is would you make is that provide to current i'm giving this current years in the region under name or here were being provided behind nor is it is equal by reason for tarak discounts of easy go lark only cross the line but i didn't burka.

so presenting coming up. this spare little cornwall without a bullet back there. is a beautiful medieval city and portugal's north with a population of one hundred twenty thousand. two thousand. a contract award in the concession for water supply services to a consortium of companies. the main shareholder. a spanish owned multinational. lewis first can sell us is a spokesman. my risk ok. but is. that. the game faced. to.

you. the. most. see. the yes it. must. you could want i think new push them so use would be. a visit he cleaved.

for a world cup twenty eight team coverage we've signed one of the greatest goalkeepers available to us but there was one more question and by the way who's going to be our coach. you guys i know you are nervous he's a huge star and the huge amount of pressure you have to go to the center of the beach. and do all the great the great the good you are the rock at the back nobody gets past you we need you to. go. alone. and i'm really happy to join us for the two thousand and three in the world cup in russia meet the special one. meets just at the reno team's latest edition as we go. look at. the war hawks selling you on the idea that dropping bombs brings police to the

chicken hawks forcing you to fight the battles they don't. produce offspring to tell you that will be gossip and probably lifestyles of the most important. off the bad guys i'm telling you i'm not cool enough to buy their product. all the hawks that we along the border will want. indeed the targets that the municipality had guaranteed in the contracts such as definite growth in population and consumption were still only seen on paper. so when in two thousand and ten the newly elected mayor has to go miss started protesting the company went to court demanding compensation. for the brain. but i got minimally shipped out by got of since the

deals. damage to kenya if you do it and will. not far from this pass us defend the city of fifty thousand which signed a similar contract with the same company and with tragic consequences. the people talk to the streets. have suddenly getting the most expensive water in portugal. ok mike you just. leave it at that ok by you know then i will. get nothing and am i got up on best nobody to make a mess of passes to fight with water was the main focus of his election campaign. he soon discovered that the situation was even worse than he'd imagined no thirty

years give you the the leak in the if you can. the maze. is it going to when they. move. king is exposed to it so that. it. will be the place where they live where that and the loss of the most. student. this is typically provide end of the answer part of the lebanese that tried to say it now but probably the border brings direst. which is why you're absolutely wrong . perhaps no. pallone events like on the biggest and most important is the result. do the people of good quality work all the satisfied my descendants is in long protected

the main result should be performed. for the people who knew the terms of the contract of sale from the water company which had been kept secret it was only one option. to make them public. so that all germans could know that they themselves had guaranteed thirty years of profits for two companies. a referendum was needed to make the contracts details public. political parties try to stop it. that's what i do want once found i got down to who then b. and b. for taking who could do them first. the shift guy i'm. getting it done for just barely enough of us and skittish to speak. i dish out only it will fly again. and i don't.

know. the local government under the weight of public opinion was forced to reclaim the berlin water company from london which has since two thousand and fourteen completely returned to public ownership. however the repurchase price. it's very high close to one point three billion euros . the high costs of room in a spot as it. were through mainly due to the further water has been privatized first this where the costs are probably. much national have been very expertly proficient. at passing on to consumers because that's what

they do always wherever they go. this is easy you. know these are pushing this official to several of these supposed. to. be married to this thing can this be a better left up to me thought. now i mean i'm even more given the amount what our nato message thing is never of the. heart and mind of the european which is behind world products. i think that the european commission would be very very clear that water privatization on anybody is the only could. we let the member states to organize in the way that the think it's more efficient

. both public and private ownership are possible so that we have an official system that distribute i call it the safe efficient affordable water to all the citizens. in their patients. and everybody should get a. break. in talking about three go. i could be voted. the best actress and i. would if i stress once offered once me into social if not. all of it i should be used by you know how to get it all. he said linda to

students to prove that she's young this size and mass in sight and i don't i know this guy fishtail to be out of a community is evil does. it get i was a hype. it was a historic referendum. ninety five percent of a tally of voters said no to water privatization was berlusconi's government a plan. and the reason why we had this referendum is because the business could be good at math two years before passed a law that was foreseen there but i think they show up the local level you need

them what their management is in their heads of there will be somebody. making complicity for many body to sell out at least fifty percent of the state in public companies for all of the public said business not only were there. a few weeks after that referendum triumph. and mario draghi the new and departing directors of the european central bank sent a secret letter to bonus going to be exposed by the korean adela's newspaper. they remind him of the basic measures expected of italy. structural reform favoring competition and italian bonds including the full liberalization of local public services through large scale privatization. that secret letter caused quite a backlash because the e.c.b. has no institutional jurisdiction to enforce policy making in an e.u. member state. it was judgment the judgment of the e.c.b.

. was necessary in this absolutely dramatic circumstances where forty percent of the g.d.p. of the. attack one of. the bellas going to government implemented many of the measures proposed in that letter while at the same time secretly trying to introduce provisions to private eyes water. a proposal that italians had rejected in the referendum. the courts intervened and said no you can't rein should years. legal provisions been repealed as a result of. this caused european commissioner olli rehn to write to mr berlusconi again asking for clarification.

as a judge of. italians who had already made up their own minds saw that sentence despite the outcomes of the referendum as an insult it also infringed upon an e.u. article demanding neutrality. this is it this i mean yes get is. say yes he. did and then here he's got this give this that you don't. know who are not mix is. going to do your.

group i mean is that funny that we're going to prevent. the exact city you're. going to. do no it don't want to do would amend these are peaceful says it. all is up in. large scale privatizations of a key demand in every memorandum that the troika has imposed on every greek government the water companies of athens and thessaloniki always on the list. and on the good. mr make a luck as a journalist and was new democracy spokesperson. the later became interior minister

for the right wing government formed by antonius a modest and twenty twelve. that was the year in which a minimum percentage state holding in the two largest water companies was abolished by law paving the way for complete privatization. thought if you tickle peas in the car in the copy of them one of your. i left you would have made by thick but i must put up. with him i'm giving up a bit of a. edition. with some rain there. just enough to make you know you put it. clinically of the school and they should be actually of us use for the event of us to be put on a mission of about a.t.m. machine will be enough to come. out of our little good location for the debate and they can move the precious. ship you look to have

a look at the super moon as opposed to scripted by. the. united states can always had a tool to use in its tax on other countries. economic sanctions or are often just the beginning another thing you like to do is place some military pressure on the countries attorney 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 of. us without us there will be change.

so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy in front a shouldn't let it be an arms race off and spearing dramatic developments only move slowly i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk. i. i i i i i.

i. was. the opening of the u.s. embassy in jerusalem on monday was met with violent protests across palestine. sixty protesters losing their lives and hundreds. nation from around the world. between the e.u. and the us. the european union's energy chief reassures iran that the mains committed to the nuclear deal washington. brussels. engineering europe's longest bridge crimea to russia on tuesday.

welcome to the weekly here on ars he international running down the top stories of the day and off the. the opening of the u.s. embassy in jerusalem on monday was met with large scale protests all across israel and palestine. this is true. that with the eleven we extend a hand in friendship to israel the palestinians and to all of their neighbors may

there be peace we pray for the peace of jurors. across. the opening of the embassy went ahead as despite the ongoing protests including outside the gates of the new compound here's a quick look at why jerusalem is such a contested city. 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 kingdom of jerusalem but the end of the thirteenth

century had been a crusade. on the 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 the only site and since the formation of the state of israel in one hundred forty eight israel considers jerusalem to be its capital of the subsequent conflict with the arab neighbors so israel. and i nixed the entire city of jerusalem the move has never been recognized by the united nations it stuns 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 status should come through negotiations a not a you know not for auction. angry crowd has gathered there protesting against him

if he needs radio police are trying to keep the crowd. why you have. i'm here to oppose the decision by the u.s. administration to relocate their embassy in the heart of the contested city in the heart of the city where thirty five to forty percent of its residents are living under occupation most of them are not citizens of any state that denied basic rights i mean the group but all that's left for the diaspora jews against the occupation we're here because we oppose crimes and the sooner we think it's playing with the lives of israelis and palestinians alike in our lives and if it is not a game. but. it was. meant to be and it's ready parliamentarian 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 out attacked members of the knesset just because we had it been the best you know and then they at that

i pushed us to the back we are here to see that jerusalem east is ok if i did it today it could be the capital of the state of palestine that tensions are definitely running high here as you can see these capitals and clashes and we're being pushed forward and. i need a lot of anger now. on. what happened what happened back to right out the heart of the fire fight up to me don't doubt it but there should be it is different when i don't just let it. all if this coming as the embassy just across the road is opening so while the world is witnessing crime pictures of a historic occasion our future we see them in to see opening just across the road are these kind of scenes i'm feeling with these a lot of anger and out of frustration and

a lot of disappointment that the american government went ahead with this news and the israeli army has commented on its handling of the protests and setting that they followed standard procedures while acting in self-defense against palestinian protesters it also says it used live rounds in a selective manner we asked our guests for their views on the embassy may. only a yearly miserable some people around us want us to expose tolerance to those who declare that they want to kill us who declare that they want to get into israel by. by clutching called by a guy falls poorer than me they're just you know at the regional high limit our other one is not exactly on the island the narrator on a sunday or later in that has only two for for eleven years your start up always what policy has brought to the world where we have anything resides raises

schiffman and. a lot of n.r.a. anything jews are now a small minority and that population and the more of a minority they become the more undemocratic. and racist israel becomes there are zero israeli injuries zero israeli casualties over two thousand palestinians injured over fifty seven palestinians killed including i'll share you how magic. what do all of these tests hamas is not my favorite organization hamas is a politically bankrupt group which has completely failed to exploit israel's gross gross contradictions and to use them against the this increasingly raissa state i have something to tell you

we want to stop the policy and state in the future the two state solution is the international solution it's not the palestinian solution alone i do believe still that there is a chance for this solution but it will take courage and it will take resolve from the international community to step up. some of america's traditional allies have moved to condemn his decision to relocate the embassy actually calling it a breach of international law and saying that inflames an already tense situation well some of the criticism was voiced out in an emergency session of the united nations security council on tuesday by the u.s. representative insisted that the rest was not linked to the embassy move. yes. on jerusalem's holy site does not prejudge whatever the parties might negotiate in a peace agreement it does not honor mind the prospects for peace in any way and yet for some this is supposedly

a cause for violence the un human rights council on wednesday vetoed voted to launch an international probe into the mass deaths of palestinians on the israeli gaza border and washington condemned the resolution but the u.s. envoy suggesting that the international organization has more important issues to deal with however as caleb maupin explains nikki haley's accusations may actually be a double edged sword. the day that the american embassy was officially moved to jerusalem it was a day of great jubilation for american and israeli officials what a glorious day remember this moment. but across the palestinian territories it couldn't have been more different in beleaguered gaza there was nothing but suffering and chaos our greatest hope is for peace the united states is prepared to support peace negotiations going to states is prepared to support a peace agreement in every way that we can i don't think it hurts that peace plan.

the peace plan will be introduced at the appropriate time there was certainly not any criticism of any of israel's extreme use of force by anyone in the trumpet ministration hamas terrorist backed by iran have incited attacks against israeli security forces and infrastructure so israel is not responsible for shooting mostly peaceful palestinian protesters some of whom were just children shot down by their own soldiers but if you're a place israel with syria suddenly nikki haley's heart bleeds for the dead in far less clear cut situations. yesterday morning. we awoke to pictures. to children being carried in the arms of desperate parents yes all the talk about human rights does not apply to palestinian protesters they do not get america's support because they're not pro to.
