legal. the government take control for came by saying if you get people here that will have no protection from slavery and unforgivable message, a sentence which shames the country and everything it stands for is, is absolutely disgraceful. complete application of humanity is going to see how can you recognize what is levy calling from? do you renting a lot, you know more than she ever knew that dad is in her condition, by the way, just published by the original. but there's something or what else literally exists . this is a war on the colonel, lost a potential and got your soul condescending when he was like a kind of a short down of humanity for him to want to, you know, supposed to be the lives on the human nature of the human civilization. these are really for going to be part of the initial pending their job on who wants to keep

you from getting on. do you know what was told a suspending the b b. c. host once more proves that there are a the problem is of course, the britain. although the british government likes to lecture everybody on free speech, we don't have free speech in this country. not really. there's been people who have been fined and imprisoned for tweets that have been questioning the narrative around the roofing from cove it to the ukraine war. now finally, somebody who is very high profile has over as now been targeted for cancellation because of the views that they have expressed. maybe see is a state broadcaster, it generally takes its line from the government not directly, but indirectly. though sometimes the government likes to crack the whip over it to make sure that it stays in line. and that's an example of what a chip or how it's funded reveals that it is a state broadcaster at the last attempt by the bdc to do journalism that was

severely critical of the government was over 20 years ago in the aftermath of the invasion of iraq by george bush and tony blair, where they did do some critical reporting on that. and then the, all the people responsible for that were driven out of that jobs very quickly in an establishment stitch up south africa already dealing with near daily rolling blackouts is now struggling to deal with water shortages. greenpeace reports that millions of people have seen their taps run dry. as rationing measures have been implemented for water stored hundreds of kilometers away in now shrinking reservoirs are t correspondent. no, lou, you coon day brings us the story does. does one thing that you're all away off? it's the fact that what is life yet this, the vital natural resource is being depleted. it's been polluted and mismanaged. official says disruptions water reservoirs is causing more water related disasters

in africa. and to tackle these challenges. citizen, the government's needs to do more than just talking. a mother, i paid us national dispos that sometimes the tops run dry the whole day. we then go to bad at the end of the day without any water to drink or cook. and that's up to pol accounts the whole day, making it even worse. we're more you'd go to, i can come back what i would still not be back. oh, okay. and if so, the shaft lamazzo manual buy for me, the crisis is about because my business needs water, we can't cook, we can wash, we can clean. as you can see for yourself, we're not operating, we can do anything when that you've been given along on, but it's not, the water crisis is hurting as badly as i'm speaking to you. i haven't eaten because of situation. even base kids go to school without eating a bad thing because we have no water. it's clear that infrastructure is lacking. whether or not it is an old pipes or ignorance is that african water prices. it's yeah, it's getting worse than it's affecting millions of people. i think it's her well

known trek gaga government took the moment to struggling with the a lot of service delivery issues to round out factor in a ga, platforms are unstable. and it's also a well known fact that our water and wastewater and ridiculous systems all dilapidated failing, and the severe pressure have been under capitalized and then in many ways or dysfunctional. so all things being equal, i do not see the scrutiny around. in fact, i see an accelerated right of collapse coming, and i see ultimately this is very lucky to trigger abreast lesson restaurant reschedule ripple across the country. and i'm afraid this is where we're quite interesting to know that in the case of load shedding, alternative sources of energy can be made accessible. but wood, water, alternative sources may not be as accessible all available. this means that the

situation of water shedding or shortage, can have more dire consequences than what we, as africans have already experienced it. for r t r non, we couldn't get into hannah's bird. those were the hour's top stories for the latest breaking news and updates had over to r t dot com. and be sure to follow up on all social media platforms for more content. thanks for tuning and we'll see a back at the top of the hour. ah ah ah
