oversees ukraine bureau was detained on tuesday for alleged treason on thursday a course in ukrainian city of person rule to detain him for sixty days the security service raid on the offices of re an obvious ukraine actually lasted for more than eight hours and the homes of journalists working for the agency were also search now has been high level condemnation of the action many organizations are accusing ukrainian government of an attack on media freedom and also demanding release we discuss this with rachel demba she's the deputy director at the europe and central asia division of human rights watch and she says that complaints over media freedoms in the ukraine are on the rise. under no circumstances should the government be criminalizing speech and media activities that groundlessly and ukraine i think this is out of line with ukraine's these raids and the detentions
4:46 pm
are out of line with ukraine's obligations to protect media freedoms there's a there's an obligation to provide some kind of transparency about what exactly is grounding treason charges that an extremely serious serious charge that carries a hefty prison sentence so they better continue to come forward with what it is that causing the grounds for this charge because working for you know working for you know the state or having a russian passport or not grounds for treason charge we and other organizations have have been expressing i think more frequently concerns about media freedoms in ukraine. you can watch the weekly here in r.t. thanks to the company this evening we're back. in thirty five. with lawmakers manufacture consent to public wealth. when the

water company is a profitable public firm that supplies cheap water has a more than half a million households a small percentage five point four six is already on by the french multinational suez. what it was like oh my god this is where i was asked and i was afraid so my guess of course i'm going to die so you know that is the simple message billy bob sort of set us down of them doesn't it get them out of this on the get out of the mill. doesn't. come in and she has more so to float up top with elizabeth that will be

4:50 pm
. to go into something i stop opiate is a strong us them are simple enough scottish. purity is a strong ass at least reste so the bulk of myself at least it ought to shape dallas said go to your funeral not i'm a potty peyos i said this is young people keep our. own keys that our dad was a power fashion impress your. there's a. still decision. if you know the city. and what's a privatisation officially it's not the commission's policia mississippi state
4:51 pm
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 for the privatized across the book to go so in the troika the commission is still pushing for privatization so if it is really human right if you really are serious to the citizens at today's initiative we should start acting on policies instead of. thank you. thank you. senior producer not wish was fitting. into your. sympathies. even. as you watch fundamental me. that i compose.
4:52 pm
each could have. told us but if it is a song you should 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 a 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.
4:53 pm
to death. in bunches was if they wanted a duffer to cosign. such nice besson i can still have accepted going to see best it would put out if it was something i don't. know said resume enormous your comic every nothing yes if it's out of the depth of a thought if i think that id goes a little too neat see need to shift to be all. and not by deed to disk you sure could get all going to disguise your bridge you know that. it will explain minimum opinion to centers extreme events you can be good as a good people secretly he let me be the last i did. not look at dog ac these dual result was that he's gone and
4:54 pm
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 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 loreal with windows in the morning and said you are not putting up be the outside my house. the children they were coming to this tears
4:55 pm
we didn't want the water meters that was us. waiting an hour or two there was a mass of supportive people here to stop that. and this was the first time that the irish people had taken a stand on any issue since austerity had begun says to troika write to toes in the not. knowing. 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 a sudden move in the street together. and people were 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 the water meters got to do with the banks coming in taking people so this. you know this is
4:56 pm
a sewer phone a little bit of power you can't go and funk to cheika but you can stand of science or false. and there's your polar and 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 being something different it's not. it's about water forced to foremost but it's also about much more than war it's about the hurt to be trail the surrender of sovereignty and the redistribution of our west operatives and their debt downwards.
4:57 pm
there is a problem with the leaks and we couldn't find them until we have brought in some measures so if i see my solution suddenly it says it's a million liters a month for a couple of days in my house i do all that temperature 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 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
4:58 pm
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 wage borrowed money and then we need a way to pay for it paying out general type stations people who work would probably end up paying more tax. we are losing forty seven percent of our treated water into the ground in leaks before it gets to the top. nobility in europe to spend do i choose to spend it on meters or do i choose to spend not 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 with plans to offset the new charges.
4:59 pm
and forcing more than me against able to resist. the threat 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 officious 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.
5:00 pm
starts really. centers 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 years out towards top. level was selling you on the idea that dropping bombs brings peace to the chicken hawks was a.
