patient identify those responsible. meanwhile, a former us marine and was a blower sent to us a letter from a nato officer who prefer to conceal his name and job title of a phase of possible retaliation. the source described a u. s. naval crew that fit the description and location of those who could have committed, but being behind that of the sabotage of rushers nor stream pipelines in the baltic c. i had a leading administration role in the june 22 ball top military exercises near borne home island, denmark, a u. s. military helicopter arrived carrying a group of men who were supposed to be u. s. navy anti mind personnel. the thing i found odd was that they claimed to be there to search for underwater mines. however, they lack the equipment for such exercises. their equipment consisted of the latest navy issue, deep diving underwater re breathers, and some small hard box cases. we called them, pelicans. they took their boat off shore, not to the area where the simulated minds were placed,

but to an entirely different location. after the exercise was over and they returned almost all of their pelicans were missing. earlier john mark duke and i joined my colleagues, madame ami in the studio to discuss the letter and what was revealed. now he said the sabotage or the notion pipelines essentially amounted to a terror attack. he also said the u. s. has no intention of pursuing peace in ukraine. i have a history of getting some very exposed of documents and keeping them secret and keeping my source the secret back. that's why had to come to russia because the u. s. government wanted to do my secrets, my sources for postings. when i was living in the us, they even rated my home. and i had to flee here to russia. and i know the misconception is that i'm pro russian, but i'm really, i'm pro truth. what the united states did is, is a war crime. not only is a war crime, but this one of the worst ecological disasters ever created by man. it's basically

a terrorist deck, the say that they don't want to escalate this war, but they're doing all the stuff in secret to escalate this war. and then are blaming russia for it's, it's absurd and they got caught. yet again, is it fair to say that a lot of americans don't really know what's going on and the taxpayer is that the tax dollars and how it is being spent? and i mean, there's a certain aspect of people that do know, but this is faith, a lot of people's livelihoods in america. do you think they could change to the future? i think they are slowly changing because people now are realizing slowly as information is trickling out, that everything that they've been told by the american government has been a lie. you had the biological labs. victoria newland said didn't exist. and then she said, well, we're worried about russia getting our hands on the contents of these labs that we

are partners in. and then using them as a false flag attack because they're dangerous chemicals. but if they're so dangerous, why are they worried? you know, so everything that's coming out of this administration is, is turning into an eye opening experience and people realize how much we are being lied to. and it's, it's not happening fast enough in my opinion, but it is happening. i think it's very important. so in the wake of that report by a veteran, john seymour hersh, essentially the us and nato together blew up russia's pipelines. but i imagine you knew that already. i guess it's important to keep in mind that those russian gas pipelines were the energy backbone of european industry and also keeping homes warm throughout the winter as well. so be careful who your friends are. europe just lost a huge part of. it's a con. we are back helping out with the

ah, nearly 71 percent of the earth surface is covered in water. even in modern times, we have still not been able to develop the ability to provide a clean water to those who desire. the 29 percent of the year, but it's not just a problem which the 3rd world countries are encountering. i'm sorry, no huge. on this episode, we're going to give you the 360 view of why clean water is increasingly becoming 1st of all problem. let's get started. on the news every year, nearly $1100000000.00 people like access to fresh water with $2700000000.00 of the global population finding clean water scarce at least one month per year. so

increase in demand by a growing population, mixed with poor management, pollution, lack of infrastructure. and of course, climate change are key elements which affect the availability of fresh water to various regions of the world. while countries in the middle east, like a tar israel, lebanon, and iran, are most prone to water crisis. despite technology, 1st world countries and other regions are seeing an increased in their inability to provide fresh water for all their citizens. was a far stretch to say that our world will ever run out of water. the ability to purify it and make it easily available is a continuing challenge, which has more to do with poor management and decisions by those in power than a result of nature. in fact, to blame for the 6 major examples of water crisis currently being faced in the united states, fall not on mother nature rather on mankind. joining me now for more on all of this is jim olson. now jim is

a lawyer and public water rights advocate. welcome. and we reached out to you because in the usa we are seeing yet another water crisis and a predominantly african american community. this time, jackson, mississippi, were flooding from climate change, a strained and already underfunded in the collected municipal water infrastructure, all to create another crisis which citizens without water relying on bottled. now i can flip michigan, a cynical attempt to save money led to public health crisis, where they generational legacy of destruction. and part of that we had detroit where cities bankruptcy problem led to city officials cutting of water to residents who couldn't pay their water bills. what's the common issue with all 3 municipalities in terms of delivering safe drinking water to the residences in the real question is right. i think there are several factors. one is. ready at least in the united states,

when we began to shifter solutions in the market place, we shifted away from more for government action and took on, i think, even in government sort of a business attitude, george government. so in that climate that involved over the last 4 years, at least in this country, since the reagan administration intelligence very more and the ninety's and certainly more in the last 2 decades. we've seen this hurry or what we're one public services education, prioritize, prisons driving ties, health care privatized somewhere in the energy field muscle because the public utility regulation. and i think that

that shifting in coverage has affected water services. i think it affected more than mars since i think it's affected the way we adjust or problems. and the other thing is that i don't think there has been an understanding of what the role and delivering right. or really is it is taken treat jacket for those around the world, fighting in the year end for you and right wire congress in 2010 with the work of the project tomorrow, warriors, and a lot of war. i countered the canadians by my barlow who were serrano and cheering great grandma right. the human right water and the un doesn't necessarily translate to what

happens in jackson, mississippi or what happened to jackson, mississippi and continues today. or the detroit sher austin began in 2014 or the front lead crisis. and let me add one more dark in the michigan great lakes region. the algorithm crisis in the west. you're my 3rd year and we have we have one of the great lakes western, luxurious experiencing serious our last 89 years and there's no government action that is adequately addressed. the problem and 400000 people were shut off from the water supply years ago because of the toxicity of these books. so what government has done is they see their, their utility water service,

and i'm just going to talk about water service on that. the bigger, wider issues on the planet you'd like to show and maybe talk about what's called the probably just doctors. but i think what we do, we shifted in this wider delivery as a product. and people are customers. well, that's a contractual relationship. if you have contractual rates but, but, but it doesn't mean that you have some fundamental, right? it's already as good as the contract. and your remedies are only as good as the contract. and what we're lacking is an understanding of what the role of govern government governance is when we're dealing with water on the planet . and every time we see a crisis like this, this lack of attention that you mention shows up as one of the fundamental, if not the fundamental cause of the problem, or at least the,

the cause of the continuing problem after we become aware of it, like what what happened in the fight in jackson, mississippi, we finished all over the world. me just what's going in the package and elsewhere. if we're seeing the effects of climate change most dramatically, as we saw on pakistan and 10000000 are displaced and closer to home flooding in houston. why is the right to save drinking water being addressed as part of a discussion of climate change? and much of the focus has been on fossil fuel pollution, but little is actually discussed about floods and the impact on water. i think the problem is that we don't view conrad changes in water issue if we did we live and i just here i i if you want me to put some side of a well, but if we don't describe it, we live and i just hear the water of average, it moves in wire in the sky and clouds and it gets cold and condenses. it comes to

the earth that it runs over. the land is right. it goes into the ground water, crazy lakes and streams, and rivers, and streams, and rivers and oceans. and goes around around and plants and roots in transit, reparation. it's a cycle. and every arc of that cycle through the rear becomes crucial to every person on the planet and away from the but in so the climate climate is, is a high, does your issue. it's a water issue. neither is this greenhouse gas emissions, but we're so focused on emissions. we're not focused on the fact that it is disturbing the entire high just fear and all the water on the planet in various times in various places putting these appeals. so we need to understand that this is a public water is your pirate. why? the other thing we need to understand when you get to the jackson mississippi

issues is that we can't sit idly by in the face of changing climate. and we know the weather is becoming more and more extremely noted for 2020 or 30 years in the last decade. it's been more well beginning with her again. katrina, we understand that this is a, this is a, this is a very serious problem and it's getting wash. and as those things intensify, the in action of jackson, mississippi's, or any government, any state, govern in the federal government. the in action of not beginning to understand that everything we designed in the past is obsolete. we're living in the 21st century and then probably just start and i mention is a 21st century principle. yeah, it's roots are 2000 years ago. but the fact is, this is

a 21st century issue. and the doctrine addresses the ad. so lessons of the why the actual lessons of responsibility in, in the inaction of understanding that we live on river water cycle and the climate change is what is the public trust doctrine and why is something that was created back in the seventy's even relevant today? you know, i'm kind of wondering how it was used in your case against nestle and what change and what's going on. yeah, assuming the cases reported in for those that are interested reported in the michigan court of appeals reports are published by law states and particularly michigan. it's in volume 269, michigan app. it's called and the, the cation rouse, nothing in michigan in selecting an area that they thought was robust and

ro wired. but they were selling spring miners. so it was connected to a spring and the company to demonstrate to do which spring water, their marketing. it shows free water on the bottle and demonstrated every every gallon. the watershed for going in the bottle is a gallon out of the spring spring hard for their stream and the late in the lakes and their buffering reduce the stream or anywhere from 18 to 35 percent of the time of the year. and we were able to file a lawsuit both under common law, right? of people that live on water bodies and also our law, but also the michigan and protection i was jo, sex had drafted creating rates and citizens the sooner this probably just which they have because they're beneficiaries were legal beneficiary just like a trust in ranks. and so you have

a right to correct these arms river to use those principles and demonstrated impairments have the water system in a series environment. raven to limit the pumping or what hasn't been addressed to me. and then you're back to probably just arching hasn't been adjusted to privatization issues. i mean, when you think about bottle water, it either comes from a private well or municipal system. these companies get it one way or the other are the ground and loss situation. nobody pays for, they just they just take it under the right of what they call regional use her country or uses. but it's basically a regional in years. and really until water came, or nobody really thought about the shower water. there was the real water covering water services with the shower. water is a reasonable years. you have to use alarm. the question is your right to show it or

if it's public water does the sovereign through it say you have to consent on that? and i think the entry, yes they do. interestingly enough that would create a level range, you know, between generations, government and those privatizing and profit profiting off the water. again, bottle water, bottle water. but it should be under the umbrella of sovereign. it should be consented to by the sovereign and the sovereign therefore, should not be shown, disguising their private profit. it should be shared. those who are systems that over gamblers go back to the jury. aquafina and designing coke invest. see they get their water from detroit on. a non profit cost, they just they put it in a barrel and they make the profit. and even though other users are sharing and then non profit, they just,

they share in their cost or using the cost and no product goes majors this year in the cost they don't share in the profit. so it goes to the company that says what we're using water once we average our no, i don't think that's true. i think they're getting it from the public based on public expenditures to create that system to begin with. and they're being subsidized by everybody else. tax fairs in the state of michigan as to why. and we have to understand this, this has to be corrected is privatization water through by wire privatization emitters. systems is yet another issue. whether that's a solution or not, most people have concluded that, you know, these major coverage buying at mutual waters because jackson, mississippi's, in the world can no longer fix or just so you know, larger companies that have the money will get the money. and then compound interest on these people, i'm and profit and into the future. these are

a serious question to need to be addressed in the context of the governance of water, public and public trust. thank you so much. you know, that was jim often lawyer and public water rights advocate. alright, stick around because when we come back we will be joined by a guest, an expert on water right out of india. ah, i choose oh, we're going back today. we're discussing water crisis that are plugging western

countries as was developing nations. and so for a look beyond the borders of the us, we want to bring in vandana shiva. she is an environmental activist and author of the book water wars, and she joins us now from india. thank you so much for being with us. you know what? you've written this great book, water wars, pollution of privatization and profit all back in 2000 or 2. then it actually got reprinted in 2016, but a lot of the points that was making then are still being discussed, even debated. and we're seeing more and more privatization of water and corporate control of water. what are the state of discussions and the 2 decades since you wrote that book? you know, i wrote the book and the early stages of privatization, including the privatization, by default, when you take the water as a commons, you take a river that throws for all and you use it to dump your pollution. that's one kind of product icy ship. the other kind of privatization is you take a remind i budget all hydro electricity,

all full irradiation. ok. so the water is the ultimate comments. and after i wrote that book, the pressure to privatize water, increased intensity withheld from the world bank. and i met i'm, it was given, every country that was trapped in debt was being given a restructuring loan with water privatization as a co, competent, and a. and if we hadn't had a movement of the international program and globalization. and if we didn't build a movement against the patenting of seeds and the privatization of water, frankly, they would have been no free water. they would have be no communities to protect the water. so if you think of how bad things are, think of how much was they would have been if we would not have had movements standing in defense of the water. what is the state of things? and andy at the moment, now of course i would recognize it's

a massive country that we're talking about. i know, for instance, places in the eastern part of india, we're getting a decade after decade with climate change effects. is that still the case? are things actually improving? well, you know, if the pollution of the land and the atmosphere keeps increasing, of course the disasters will keep increasing. the big super cycle that you mentioned was 1999 and it killed thousands of people. we've had more frequent cycle since then and journey in 10 cycles. but after that took the cycle, the government, of course i did amazing work in cycle warnings and cycle and share to us. we have been saving seats and among the seats that are coming to d. c. bank in august i had said was seats that could tolerate, sold and plotting. and that was distributed with the results of the cycle. and when the so nanny hit south south india and the bail being also nannie. oh,

that will this a palmers gate be sold in the black toner and seats to the farmers of come in? i do. so yeah, climate extremes are increasing and all of the predictions are the south asia, asa continent will be the worst effect it. and i have personally worked on the research as well as movement building 1st because we are the 3rd pool. we have the maximum snow's in the himalaya, after the north and south pole for the north and south pole doesn't have a population asked nose and a water support half of humanity drinking water. now the glacier met is one impact and they've seen a disaster in 2013. when heavy rain king a glacier was melting. the develop the building of huge hydro electric project and totally devastated the river. and the combination of the 3 things, intense rain, racial melt and mal development created

a disaster that washed away 20000 people. and 2021 in the source of the place where the beautiful movement, which inspired me chuckle to protect the forest. and the women were seeing you destroy the forest in the catchment, you're going to get more landslides in get more plants, you wouldn't get more drought. sadly, in 2021. that village was impacted because another glacier melted. another m was being billed and 200 people were washed away. the 2nd reason why we have huge impact is we are totally monsoon dependent economy and, and destabilization of the monsoons either by creating intense rain or lack of rain is making our agriculture supper. our paper supper and then we have the longest for sign more than 7000 kilometers. and cy, clones, sea level rise, or still erosion, or a per dimension of the impact that comes why

a climate. however, through water i have said from the beginning, at the end of the day, climate change impact slides either through intense flooding or through drought. the temperature aspect is there, but it's not the most serious in terms of the impact on life and death in the immediate situation now. ok, so in situations like you were discussing where you've got these massive climate change events happening across at the united nations general assembly decisions in 2010 that recognizes water and sanitation as a human right and essential to human rights. how is that? and those decisions where people agreed to them were all the countries signed onto them. and how are those being addressed in any of the climate discussions that are underway at the moment? i do think water is being given the central rule. it should be given because what's the climate system? the climate system is the biosphere, managing the climate,

and when the climate is the stabilize, the hydrologic system is the stabilized with the same systems that are leading to emissions of greenhouse gases and possible pollution of water intensive systems that are anywhere destroying the hydro, logical balance of the land, i did a book on the green revolution and been job open job is the land to find rivers. it should have no war to crisis. this is why the green revolution was taken to been job. and in a few decades, it has of course, destroy the saw. it's destroyed, the palming is created the cancer training, which was it is leading to a war to famine. when you use chemical agriculture use 10 times more water to produce the same amount of food. but worse, you create water pollution, the nitrate pollution is one of the more serious impacts, whether it's in local water bodies in streams or it's the dead zones in the oceans,

which absolutely killing life. and then the nitrous oxide that comes from the synthetic fertilizers is $300.00 times more damage than carbon dioxide. so whether it's the atmosphere or the dead zone, or the dead sizes and usually empty food, we should be looking much more at how fossil agriculture is to has destroyed the water body that you do in analysis. oh, how did lakes dry up like lake chad or rivers dryer? it's because this chemical agriculture, the green revolution, including in africa, the alliance of the green revolution, but pushed by mister gates and miss and rock solid sadly though, and the cop $27.00 rock fellow. it destroyed india, spurn job is standing there with the food and agriculture organization looking at future solutions for then the future solution will be future streaming in water, which they're starting. it will be treating water as

a financial asset which is starting rockefeller and the new york stock exchange has started talking about not allowing nature to have integrity, to reduce nature, to a financial essence. and to allow the black rocks and the van does to decide the future of water according to how you can trade in on it financially rather than protected. ecological. thank you so much for their shiva author of water wars. you know, sort of the politics. i have to wonder how low can politicians sink and using a natural resource which life depends on, is truly the definition of hitting rock bottom. it doesn't government of an area which finds itself facing a water crisis have failed to do. one of the key task of their position, and if they cannot be held accountable by a court of law, they at least to be held accountable by the ballad box. for those countries who face the water crisis because of physical water scarcity and the lack of water to

meet all demands, others should be compelled to step in and help resolve. however, when the problem is actually poor decision making by those in power, no grace should be given. however, oftentimes those same folks make decisions which allow the problem to purposely persist while crying in front of the cameras at the injustice. this display of a poxy is nothing new. however, in today's modern day society, it should be unacceptable. if we have the ability to put a man on the moon, find cures to diseases, then we are fools. if we continue to repeat the same issues which cause such danger to our most vulnerable communities. as more light is being shown to me to action rather than just words from the politicians. and most importantly, demand accountability results and accept no excuses and scale here. thank you for watching this addition of 360 view until next time. ah

ah. with that i have to say that russia is forced to suspend our involvement in the new start treaty, russia of suspense. it's participation in the start nuclear weapons treaty with america, but it is not abandoning the effort that announcement from vladimir putin and his annual address to the russian parliament, the west calling to ignore the fact that it's impossible to defeat russia. another message by vladimir putin who says the west is seeking to transform the local conflict into a global conference with the russian foreign ministry demands. the american ambassador show up and explained the sabotage of russia's north stream pipelines. as a former us marine tells.
