3:05 am
russian actors of the election infrastructure bill nelson however says he has obsessional inside information about russian hackers in florida but he can't tell us the details because it's classified he can't tell us which counties have been hacked because it's classified and he can't tell us who told him this you guessed it it's classified nobody in florida has heard of it the department of homeland security has not heard about it but let's take bill nelson at his word let's say the russians actually have hacked into the voting records don't you think that bill ought to be giving whatever information he has to the d.h.s.s. and to florida officials shouldn't he be telling them before he tells the media if they haven't heard about it yet shouldn't they have heard about it now and shouldn't they now take that information and stop the breach why is bill not swing into action getting all the local and federal officials involved well that's classified so classified that bill is holding all the cards and leaving the rest of

america in the dark talk of russia is certainly a headline grabber but this time no one is rushing in to see. they have the unnamed counties in florida and that's what makes it a bit too fishy it sounds a bit like somebody isn't telling the truth and that somebody is a lot closer to miami than the moscow. spain has become the biggest receiver of migrants that across the mediterranean world almost thirty thousand people just this year alone also as the eighty seven asylum seekers docked in the southern spanish port of august sirus but the local mayor claims that the city doesn't have the resources to cope with these new arrivals we were not informed of anything as mayor i have to ensure citizens' interests and i don't want social imbalance here the spanish have big hearts yes this issue we have to use our heads because there is not enough money over twenty three thousand refugees came to spain by sea this year the massive inflow spark concern among people in the capital
3:07 am
to. go after we need to take more measures to help this migrants in their countries of origin so what is the one but is competing with the show for such grandstanding the law is it's all about politics they're simply playing with people you know but in most we can't let these people simply die in the sea but this has been happening for a long time and it will let these things happen again and again on saturday a new migrant deal between spain and germany comes into force than under the agreement refugees travelling from spain can be returned there within forty eight hours at the arrival of the german border is that the german interior minister described the deal thus the german governing coalition wants a procedure with the main affected countries to negotiate the process of repatriation of migrants i hope that soon we will get some clarity and see if it works out in the end the german people would not understand if we took in more refugees and we sent back this wouldn't fly politically the president of the far
3:08 am
right spanish party respect though claims the country blindly follows any orders from germany. it's not for the symbolic it's implemented but a lot of beauty purpose of the symbolic agreement is to help merkel save face before her own government which is in trouble right now and of course spain is going to obediently take whatever merkel throws at us europe cannot accept any more migrants every week we see problems plaguing spanish cities all because there's no way to control the inflow of migrants because there's no way to give jobs to the newcomers all the while thousands of skilled young spanish people are leaving the country every month we're not providing them with opportunities we made the biggest mistake a nation can make and that we have forsaken our own children to take in others who . tens of thousands of rally to cross romania calling on the government to resign in the capital book arrests protests turned violent to at some point four hundred forty required medical help including twenty four policeman. ah.

3:10 am
a country course where millions of people still don't have access to that vital resource it goes down off reports. nigeria is a country going up against all sorts of hardship poverty corruption the resurgence of terrorist groups but there's an even more fundamental one water about forty percent of the country's population almost seventy million people live without access to clean water for the eighty thousand people who live here there's only one borehole for every sixty households used to walk miles to fetch water by the river now we fetch from this bore hole nearby and have time to cook and wash the all the uses the water for cooking and the laundry of course the. we don't drink it so we had to look for tiny teas like packaged water that's all we you know we drink because of how the water systems pipes have decayed now
3:11 am
a quarter of all supplies literally seep through the cracks three major companies have been shortlisted to seize control of nigeria's water by privatizing it healthy competition or so when you think but actually it's a choice between the bad the ugly and the really ugly the first company i'm going to talk about is france's veolia it could be known for many things but it's not tori's for just one oversaw the quality of water in the u.s. city of flint michigan which turned into a major disaster. it's
3:12 am
fascinating in its own way but in response to veolia drugged it off saying some are just too sensitive competing with it is a compass. called evan goal which took a shot at facilitating water privatization and bolivia and let me just show you how that turned out and three of the of things the company or ring the every coin out of bolivians not only did it triple the price of water had been go impose the fees on collecting rain awards which well was the last straw and the final company i will look at is a dubai based imitator through its largest shareholder it's linked to the infamous decoder access pipeline which was accused of ignoring heritage and putting business before people.
3:13 am
well frankly nigerians don't stand to lose much when it comes to water supply it's so scar's activists have called for a state of emergency but with business sharks calling the shots the country's crisis kind of down the drain entirely so-called investors are ready to go in and then this. one million to four liquidity good when it is just. business as usual what the financial edition of the. people who work need to. do. it because each wheel. in. the laws of the world will be

campaign targeting the b.b.c. has been launched as viewers once again accuse britain's national broadcaster of political bias one of the key centers on the b.b.c.'s treatment of opposition labor party leader jeremy corbett he has faced constant questions over alleged anti semitism in his party people started to use the hash tag b.b.c. switch off.
3:17 am
put the claims to the b.b.c. which responded by saying it's proud to be the most trusted news provider and provides exceptional value here's some reaction we got from the u.k. . they perceive the b.b.c. is maybe shooting one person what i would say is that it's without question and indeed the b.b.c. has more or less tacitly admitted this on occasion that they have a strong liberal bias in terms of the main issues of our time i think that's absolutely undeniable i mean or whether it's on migration or the results certainly on bricks it quivers on climate change they have tended towards a certain viewpoint and i would say this without question the fact that that makes it a bias organization the problem with this campaign is it in a way is beside the point but i would say that the main thing is that the b.b.c. particularly for example since the referendum vote has shown its colors so obviously and so according to you i think there's no question that is bias the reality is that the b.b.c.
3:18 am
if you look at the broadcasters in terms of andrew neil who is the chairman and editor of the spectator magazine you look at robbie gibbs who was the former. former head of b.b.c. political output is now the reason is director of communication you look at craig oliver who was down in streets under david cameron's chief of communication was actually ahead of programming in the b.b.c. so this idea this notional idea that the b.b.c. is some left wing entity is plainly false it's actually many times pandering to those on the right who talk about pandering you know there was a case just this week where the b.b.c. actually had to withdraw something which they admitted was biased it was aimed at children fourteen to sixteen year olds and it was about migration the history of migration into britain it was so biased it was almost laughable and the b.b.c. actually had to withdraw it all because there were so many protests peter if you
