e.p. defines reasonable and beneficial use says the use of water in such quantity as is necessary for economic and efficient utilization for a purpose and in a manner which is both reasonable and consistent with the public interest and if that public interest that has money in florida fuming over a new request from nestle to extract on average 1100000 gallons of water per day from the upper floridian offer for the same offer for a 2014 study from the sunny river water management district in florida had concluded that ground level ground water levels in the upper flurry of the and off were for had declined significantly during the past 75 years as a result of regional groundwater withdrawal and the environmental activists and water protectors across the world called cry foul on the impact these water bottle are so inflict on the environment many also wonder if the way in which corporations like nestle get the water is both reasonable and consistent with the public
10:31 pm
interest fact nestle waters north america doesn't pay a dime to the communities for the water they struck with they do is hire a company with an existing permit to extract the water like 7 springs water company and high springs florida and that company obtains the permit nestle pays loads of money to upgrade that company's equipment and sucks up millions of gallons of natural spring water and bottles it for mass consumption however aside from the $150.00 application fee nestle doesn't actually pay for the water they're taking from the community that means as was noted in an editorial from the orlando sentinel at a editorial board florida doesn't tax the producer for taking water and doesn't tax the consumer for buying it which makes you wonder hock watchers is mesley cares so much about the converse that conservation of the water they make billions of dollars from why are they willing to pay the communities a reasonable and beneficial amount for said water. we'll find out why as we start
10:32 pm
watching the hocks. you know what loading you treat the day like the real the christmas would be live at the bottom if you like but it looks like you are god. would you please. please please. please. welcome everybody to watching not some top of the wallace and joining me from the dark forest of minnesota as my co-host tyro enter thanks very great. always a pleasure always a pleasure as the as the water pours from the sky here in minnesota we are now talking nests looking in water and once again putting our environment in danger and our water supply and a lovely thank you nestle has always i mean you know months and so just was taken
10:33 pm
up all that press for being one of the worst companies on the entire planet nestle's that whole red bottled water and into us so we look at the numbers in 24 to 64 percent of bottled water came from you municipal supplies that's 1000 times more expensive than tap water so you could literally go get it out of your out of your tap put it in a water and it would be fame stuff these are anything from a commune anything that says from a municipal source every community water system means it's the same as tap water in this image and whatever area they're saying my palate it's it's odd to me. it's a scam i mean really at the end of the bear it's a scam bottled water is a scam i mean yes it's great to be able to like you because they sell it as like as you said you know you never hear them say oh it's tap water in a bottle you know they don't so that when you watch the commercials it's always
10:34 pm
like these babbling brooks and glaciers and everything else they've never been ever sellers like hey if you want outside turned on your tap put a bottle 100 that's what you're buying you know for $5.00 you know $5.00 or whatever it is i thought i wasn't in for a markup a 1000 percent. the nestle is running such a scam but i mean come on right it's a swiss company we should have known they put the holes in our chiefs that we couldn't trust them hey watch it i'm like half swiss what should probably explain is that. well my haps was co-host here with nestle waters'. retorts to the accusations that are coming out of the city in florida in the area in florida that you mentioned nestle's water north america claiming is claiming that spring water is a rapidly renewable resource when managed correctly and that at the end when managed correctly mesley waters north america is committed to the highest level to
10:35 pm
have the highest level of sustainable spring water management. at all the springs that they manage so see there there is it's a rapidly renewable resource when managed correctly and there they are thinking about the community and things of this nature however. in 22 the canadian study from the university. friends just 6 percent of the groundwater around the world is replenished and renewed within a human lifetime of 50 years just 6 percent in the sleeve what's the good in their p.r. either doesn't know or her buttoning the truth a little bit to justify taking a 1000000 gallons a day whatever that number was that you quoted long point 1000000 but the permit by the way is actually for no more than 2000000 and they are known for going over those amounts and this is what becomes a hard hard pill to swallow the average floridians water bill in that area is $2.00
10:36 pm
to $300.00 a year why why are they paying anything and here's my thing about nestle always saying we manage in one press release regarding this place where they just bought all these new bottling plants and they bought this new company for extraction that in the next on a soon as there is a problem they're like well that's not ours we just buy it we just buy it from them but everything's great and there's in the language of nestle that you understand they are saying they are managing the springs they're not managing them they are managed by the department of environmental protection and whatever state they're in whether that's a department of natural resources or whatever they're held to the same they're not managing anything they have no legal right to manage these things and they shouldn't be there it's a natural resource of those oil we wouldn't let them just go in and suck it up and walk away without paying for it and if you're gonna come in the states and take natural resources whether it's oil iron coal whatever you should pay that state.
10:37 pm
least pay for what. exactly and let's remember at the end of the day water unlike the oil or other coal them all that water is probably is at the other they are more valuable than oil and coal and all that because at the end of the day we cannot live without water it is a it is it is the basis of our entire lockheed's you cannot move forward without water. while most people couldn't even tell you what the 5 and 5 g.'s stands for finding technology is becoming more and more popular however many are raising new health concerns about the technology and how the f.c.c. has turns and to thrust it upon american cities and towns trade travis has this story. has 5 g. is rolling out all around the world new concerns are surfacing about the effects it will have on our health however experts say there's no need to be alarmed 5 g. the ultra fast wireless technology that has the potential to connect everything
10:38 pm
from cell phones to sell driving cars and even virtual worlds these students are literally figuring out how people will interact with each other in the coming decade. sprint and t. mobile all say that 5 g. is at the heart of their corporate strategies in 3 years we have committed to blanket 97 percent of the country's population with 5 g. including 85 percent of rural america but beyond allowing us to stream the latest movies at record speeds 5 g. has been designed to increase capacity introduce latency which is the time that it takes for devices to communicate to each other and they're connected by fine gee the response to the person can be much more rapid in general where it's really important for people to connect together because where you can be social animals you like to do things with us but according to the wall street journal there is a growing fear that since 5 g. uses higher frequency waves it can cause all sorts of health problems including cancer cities and towns throughout northern california are issuing ordinances that
10:39 pm
will exclude. cell sites from residential areas citing supposed health concerns but most studies haven't found a link between radio frequency signals from cell phones or cell towers and disease in fact some experts say about 5 g.'s signal simply aren't powerful enough to damage your cells dr david robert grimes an irish physicist and cancer researcher so that cancers can arise when you sustain a lot of cellular damage that if your d.n.a. gets broken up or otherwise accosted by outside forces it mutates and eventually becomes cancer the f.c.c. recently saying that there is no reason to be concerned and that there is no difference from other cellular technology including 4 g. or 3 g. in terms of causing health effects they also added that the higher frequency signals used to deliver 5 g. also pose no health risk and that the existing radio frequency exposure guidelines are still applicable to 5 g. regardless of the spectrum band used to deliver the service meanwhile a number of people and scientists do believe that this sort of exposure does affect
10:40 pm
human health and want all 5 day deployment to be halted until the safety of these devices can be determined reporting any or kind of the charges are taking. so tell me. you know with you and i have grown up in the dial up there. in the heart and those early days of the internet when you know we actually had to wait for things and obviously we're the ones i'm going really fast. in this group is i feel like the 50 is a much bigger political issue oh and i think that probably and i ask you this do you think that has to do with the you know. less competition in the world of the telecom industry they're all being bought up there's only a few of them and they're lobbying congress so hard that some of these mayors are rejecting it because they're getting pushed into it what do you think about that should towns have choices. other tone should have choices i mean look why not err
10:41 pm
on the side of caution and yeah you can hear the scientists say and you can hear these opposed our experts say look at doesn't hurt you it's totally ok and they could all be right but at the end of the day you know at one point they told us cigarettes couldn't hurt us of one point d.d.t. couldn't hurt you those still clings rhondda can hurt you so odd to me it's like if a mayor or a community says you know what hey let's just to err on the side of caution let's actually make sure positively sure that these the 5 g. technology cannot hurt us i don't see a problem with that i mean at the end of the day they're going to put it out they're going to be using it anyway they're going to you know at this point the ships already left the harbor so you know if we want to roll back and just kind of say hey let's not put the wires or let's not put the you know the. the the blight you know the the tower is next right next door to a community why not i mean i'd hate to i'd hate to err i'd hate to have a mono put a right in the heart of the community and then 30 years from now we by no you know
10:42 pm
sorry we misspoke and it does cause cancer right and you'll see that in small towns they don't put the towers in the middle of everything right tend to put them a little bit outside of the main drag of a town and also they tend to put it on a hill somewhere away from people and i have a ground i wonder what we're going to do and sticks to it which by the way the 505 g.'s stands for 5 g.'s dance regeneration so where the next stop will be 60 and that'll be some other version of that and do you think this will ever end is this just all part of this weird lobbying effort to get us constantly thinking we need new phones constantly thinking we need new things but not really looking out for the consumer or the cities in which they're putting these things. i think you're right hugh that's a great question actually because i think you're kind of like right on the point is you know how much are they just selling this just to say you need the bigger the next bigger better thing you know now if you don't have a 5 g. phone you've got to get the 5 g.
10:43 pm
phone you got to get the technology that only can revive juice you got to buy new stuff and know you care about the old stuff i mean it's that constant you know capitalism crunch that there that capitalism sales job they always do when you know him and at the end of the day i mean to me technology is going to move forward there's not much you can do about that and a lot of times the benefits of the technology are great the benefits of 5 g. are great but what's wrong with taking a breath what's wrong with saying hey their bottom line is capitalism you know their bottom line is how much can they make for their show shareholders these cell phone companies and these big tech companies we need to also make sure that what you're putting out is going to be ok in the long run and you know i'm sure in 20 years 10 years it'll be 60 and at some point i'll be 10 gee you know maybe if we have actually focused on the infrastructure of our country ahead of time we wouldn't be in this spot right now it would be much easier to implement this rather than always playing catch up well and as a you know i want to come to pass as we have talked about in this this half of the show whether it's water and whether it's your cell phones you need to talk to the
10:44 pm
people who live in that community and they decide that's what democracy is it's seen what's best for them what's best for the whole community not what's great for some company that's on the stock market thank you so much tyrone from minnesota we'll see you back here soon in a day or so type of enter at thanks for joining me. thank you as we go to break off watchers don't forget to let us know what you think of the topics we've heard on social media and be certain to check out watching the hottest the podcast now available on spotify apple music and everywhere you listen to podcasts coming up watching the hot social media producer gavin springer joins me to discuss censorship of opposition voices in your national conversation and also turns out pros have a taste for one very human. that state's. going
10:45 pm
to. paradise with some around and into a round the experimentation field but agricultural chemicals we know that these chemicals have consequences they are major irritants there's no question otherwise why would that the chemical company workers themselves be geared up that suited up locals attempt to combat the on regulated experiments but often in day you have many of these people one foot into the biotech pharma and the other foot in the government regulatory bodies this kind of collusion is reprehensible while the battle goes on the chemicals continue to poison hawaii and its people so one has to ask the question whether there is a form of environmental racism going on in hawaii whether these companies feel they
10:46 pm
can get away with this because the people have less political power. what politicians do. they put themselves on the line they get accepted or rejected . so when you want to be president. or somehow want to. have to go right to the press as like them before 3 of them or can't be good. i'm interested always in the waters and. this should. serve as the lead to get up off the ground to serve began to pay him. sounds.
10:47 pm
back to where they were. early last year social media giant twitter came under fire for their suspension and censorship practices or rather lack there up and present donald trump threaten the world with nuclear war clearly breaking twitter's conduct polities policy is and he was not suspended from their platform a year later and not much has changed as users and political advocates demand answers on why twitter recently decided to temporarily suspend the account of
10:48 pm
venezuela president nicolas maduro while also expelling over 200000 pro chinese accounts for allegedly december mation operation related to hong kong's protests watching the hawks digital correspondent devon springer is here to help us make sense of it all. make sense of it. was doing so 1st i want to get out why you did or what if we said they say it's twitter suspend than a swale and president nicolas maduro account and how do they justify that considering. right well so narrow whoever so he was suspended last week for about 3 days and the way they justified it was that they didn't get in trial they didn't take comments on it they just were silent on it and everyone's you know you they had said previously that no world leaders would be suspended because they believe it hinders the public debate around the world whatever that even means and then now they've suspended a public leader and they after receiving lots of pushback miraculously suddenly his
10:49 pm
account disappeared back online right so the only state where they put out was they said after over viewing his account i didn't violate any regulations or rules which still begs the question why was his account taken down in the 1st place also his account isn't verified even though it's very well known that he does run this account so again these are just different ways that twitter is toying with people and it doesn't really make sense there's always the sort of double standards and loopholes in their policies and they're never fairly applied across the board well i was thinking of other world leaders and elected officials suspended from twitter and i'm not talking about you know specific people i'm running for office they need to have my twitter a little or a limb or who's running for congress so she has some legal precedent of why she has to have it are other elected world leaders having this issue is as far as i know in the in the investigation i've done and others there's been no other world leader
10:50 pm
especially a president to be kicked off of twitter even if just temporarily and at the same time there is still as i said before only one president who threw a nuclear war on the platform right last time i attacked last time they exactly so they said they wouldn't take down. any world leaders but they actually this isn't the 1st time they've sort of been tampering and toying with in a swale is specifically in a report for the gray zone journalist been north and said quote this is not the 1st time twitter has targeted been a swale but big corporation has on several occasions suspended and verified hundreds of accounts run by of an internationally recognized government including numerous state bodies so this is a sort of one in a long sort of pattern of this really yeah and what's interesting is the opposition and opposition president. whatever it's hard to keep track what is he has he has a verified account there's no issues there but if it was somebody trying to run
10:51 pm
a coup. i'm pretty sure twitter would probably say if elizabeth warren stood up right now and said i'm the opposition i'm going to lead a coup going to do you thing that sort or would treat her the same way they're treating long way to in the soil they would treat her like she's a monster she's a criminal racist and then they have her on c.n.n. like 3 weeks later and say we have to drop that i would say the exact same things slightly differently and be different so this seemed we twitter officials announce that they grabbed 20200000 which is a very large amount when you think about the size of conversations these are approaching these accounts that seems massive is there any precedent for them taking off that many saying this is all this information according to whom who decided that they what they were doing with this information well the only precedent for this on twitter specifically actually goes back to venezuela back in february of this year they took down about 2000 pro madeira accounts claim that they were spreading propaganda similarly there's been hundreds of iranian accounts
10:52 pm
of they claim are pro iranian propaganda accounts now what all these countries have in common they're enemies of the u.s. so it begs the question is twitter just doing the bidding of new politicians at this point but they did put out a statement actually about the. $200000.00 chinese accounts and they said quote over all these accounts were deliberately and specifically had symptoms so political discord in hong kong including undermine the legitimacy and political positions of the protest movement on the ground then they went on to call these accounts spammy spam a network of approximately 200000 accounts who were proactively suspended meaning they actually suspended them before they really even got off the ground these are accounts that were just made so i don't know how they knew they were spam if they hadn't even tweeted it seems like they know that proactively anybody who just got a twitter account that reason became an enemy of the state i mean twitter exactly it's so bizarre 200000 i don't think people realize that's more than some us states
10:53 pm
you know some cities out people living in iraq it's a lot of people oh i tell you what your. i mean we've seen this for generations whether it's a newspaper or something then there's somebody who wants to control the conversation and there's somebody that's going to make a bunch of rules to keep other people from saying and i think people's who does the smarter about deciding who to listen to and whatever mission many are critical of the sort of claims that they're so neutral right but we've seen this time and time when they're far from very far from it thank you so much stephan springer thank you for joining me watching the way it. usually when a country changes the location of its capital city it's for political reasons however a big move is in the works for the capital of indonesia at this time that's because mother nature and the effects of over development and it's not going to be a cheap endeavor r t correspondent natasha speed has more on why the country's president is calling for the most. indonesia's capital jakarta is one of the fastest sinking cities on the planet as the overcrowded and polluted city slowly
10:54 pm
caves into the java sea president we don't know is preparing for a big move presently doto announces his goal of moving their current capital of jakarta to the east kalimantan province as it stands the 2 areas are worlds apart. the proposed location is relatively underdeveloped with floating houses on the river jakarta on the other hand is indonesia's metropolitan powerhouse home to 10000000 people the united nations estimates roughly 3 times as many people are living in the greater urban area a whopping 30000000 and this makes jakarta one of the world's most overpopulated regions many times with over populations comes excess pollution in jakarta's case the congested roads makes this a stark reality the smog has become so serious that dozens of residents sued the indonesian government back in july and the sinking is believed to be a result of over extracting groundwater that's something president we doto says he
10:55 pm
wants to face. cannot continue the burden of jakarta on the island which is getting ahead of your in terms of population density severe traffic congestion air pollution and water problems that we must immediately deal with but this move won't be without cost the relocation adds up to almost $34000000000.00 and it would take roughly 10 years to complete we don't oh says jakarta will remain the top priority for development as he hopes it will continue to serve as a global trade and business center no name has been given for the new science the government initially announced plans to move the capital by april but the change up still requires parliamentary approval in los angeles and has just sweeps. and now we go to the birds according to the american ornithology or an apology will society urban living with its wild pace and fast food is affecting the howls of american crows as much as american humans see in
10:56 pm
a study published this week researchers study 140 crows nest wings and an area of from rural to urban in california for 3 years what they discovered was that the urban or city crows had a much higher cholesterol levels than world crows and found. after being fed has 3 cheeseburgers a day by researchers one group of crows showed a serious increase in their cholesterol in addition they would take and share those burgers with the rest of their families but don't worry about the over fed crows because that high cholesterol 8 doesn't seem to have much of an effect on their lifespan however scientists and bird lovers suggest feeding your local crows a healthier option of their favorite foods things like unsalted peanuts boiled eggs or even regular dog and cat food leave those cheeseburgers high cholesterol to the humans will take. every one is our show for you today remember everyone as my
10:57 pm
co-host tyro mentor always says in this world we're not told i'd love to tell you all i love and tabitha was keep on watching the locks and have a great day and night everyone. that's my life you know i started on wall street 40 years ago and i've been living in the luxury of life ever cheaper money ever since literally not having to work a day in my life because they also spotted 4 years ago i've gone straight up. to. them.
10:58 pm
but i think it's ended up by doing one thing when there's real body. one of them would not be should have been there so. presumed a lot more than i or i can't that's funny as i knew she needed out of to get out of the i am question to get you into any kind of chickened out to play in a female to move out of a hole the last young enough but otoh before i don't think. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy going from day shouldn't let it be an arms race is on the off and spearing dramatic development
10:59 pm
only closely i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk. when i was told small seemed wrong but old quotes just don't hold. any new world belief yet to shape out these days he comes to educate and in games from an equal betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. if you really think i'm. going to believe that amount of. money kind of you know how to go knowing it would. 6 take.
11:00 pm
but. you know if you can write i'm from book one we're going to. france's president speaks out over quote tension and conflict within the ranks of the g 7 as the host wraps up the summit in the luxury resort of b.r. it's. a court finds a pharmaceutical giant johnson and johnson guilty of contributing to the opioid crisis in the u.s. bordering it is to pay over $500000000.00 in fines. and radical new rules in force at google with the tech titan telling employees not to engage in the political debate. it's more on.
