Suspending autonomy to the regions president refused to back down on independence Prime MinisterMariano Rajoy will hold a Cabinet Meeting on saturday to trigger the process allowing madrid to impose direct rule over catalonia. Spains political crisis is deepening after failing to comply with the Spanish Government catalonia will now be stripped of its autonomy more cylindrical mock you for in the absence of a clear response we note that he has not answered our request and therefore we will continue procedure of triggering article one five five of the constitution to restore legality in catalonia the capital and president. Had been given until thursday morning to clarify and revoke any independence claim last week he unilaterally declared independence and suspended it to allow for talks but instead of clarifying his position sent a letter to madrid calling for an end to repression and for dialogue Prime MinisterMariano Rajoy has repeatedly refused to mediate with the secessionists were now in uncharted Territory Article one five five has never been invoked in mainland spain before you can see devolved powers over the raising of taxes Education Health care in the police soon in madrid hands of the very worst you could see the suspension of the government and the arrest of its leaders its hard to imagine any of these scenarios unfolding without more massive protests or perhaps even a change of tactics i think theres no possibility of following like taking arms phrasing arms and or even like. Seeing the birth of a terrorist group i dont think that is a possibility i dont know but some kind of more aggressive i dont want to say by a lead but more stronger organized insurgency in terms of political insurgency and organization i think its its a problem. But madrid to show restraint amnesty internationals urged the Spanish Government to avoid a repeat of these scenes on the day of the cattle referendum. Theyve also asked for two independents leaders jailed by spanish judge to be released the Spanish Government sixpack to to finalize plans for direct rule at a Cabinet Meeting on saturday. In response to cattle and leadership say that belies a dependent with a vote of the Regional Parliament this tense standoff is entering a critical new phase the parquet aljazeera bustling. With the u. S. Secretary of state has hit out at saudi arabia for failing to resolve its standoff with cata Rex Tillerson says he has little hope the crisis will end soon and blame the saudi bloc for a lack of progress to listen is due to visit the region in a renewed attempt to mediate the crisis in saudi arabia the u. A. E. Bahrain in egypt severed ties with cattle in june accusing it of supporting terror groups. Taliban fighters have killed forty three Afghan Soldiers after storming a military camp in the middle of the night the group set off two suicide car bombs at a base in the my one district of kandahar which was then followed by a lengthy gone back will more than one hundred twenty people have now been killed in a series of taliban attacks this week about one hundred thousand kurds have fled the region since it was retaken by iraqi forces the u. N. Says its worried by reports of millions of being forcibly displaced in their houses and businesses looted and destroyed. But least believe a bomb that killed a prominent journalist in malta was attached beneath a car and triggered remotely daphne koran who was a renowned anticorruption blogger and a fierce critic of the government died on monday as she was leaving her house on thursday more than two hundred journalists marched in support of her work a group of journalists have also filed a court case to make sure her sources on her phones and computers remain confidential as the investigation into her death continues. Now at next death by design an investigation into the on the belly of the Electronics Industry revealing how even the smallest devices have deadly environmental and health costs that. Im also attached to my phone my computer my tablet. And it amazes me how in just twenty years theyve completely changed the way i live and communicate. Our devices are sleek and elegant. We store our lives in a beautiful cloud. And i started making this film to explore the impact of our digital revolution. And then secrets the industry tried to hide for years began to spill out. Our electronics are made and unmade is dirty and dangerous. Its a global story of damaged lives environmental destruction and devices that are designed to die. In china massa. Of industrialization have put a huge pressure on our ecosystem and on the environment. When it comes to i. T. Industry many people think its. Its grainy or natural its rain or some people think its even think its virtual. But in our investigation we find its not like that. This pollution is having different consequences but i think that the top impact the biggest impact is on his Public Health we have nearly three hundred million rural residents who dont have access to sufficient saved drinking water. Going to see what they almost see the have a shiny new economy but not. The kind that your show is you know im just trying. To over think its wrong but rather. To just its is a hold up you hold on is it and i dont wish either you or. I keep thinking about the moment when i face all those environmental and social damage. River you know which carries all the ways to lake beside the river and waste old ladies suddenly found done on their knees in front of me. Was. No no no no no no no. No. I dont have any sort of government administrative power and dont have much Financial Resources to do with this but i told myself at that moment in front of those ladies i told myself that. At least i need to bring the message out. I need to make sure that all the users of all those gadgets they need to be informed about this. I moved to this area in one nine hundred sixty nine to go to law school because i said i wanted to help people who didnt have the means to represent themselves. It was a time when most people are not heard of the semiconductor industry. But within a few years people started seeing the the birth of what has become the you know global Electronics Industry. The. Top names were companies Hewlett Packard apple intel advents micro devices. The virtually the whos who of the Electronics Industry. And of course the granddaddy of them all was i. B. M. When i got a card and i. B. M. That was great that was the company to work for at the time i could go any place where he worked at i. B. M. I dont need an id you just write a check it was that easy i. B. M. Had that much clowne. I was the first microprocessor buyer for i. B. M. In the early eightys the idea of a personal computer which was was on oxymoron right i mean personal computer what end what would you use it for anyway but it got legs and we started the p. C. Business the first year they shipped fifty thousand units. And so we went from five thousand a week to forty thousand a week and at that point the p. C. Was launched. From almost the very beginning you heard electronics and Semiconductor Production was a clean industry they said it was as clean as a hospital but what they werent telling people was that it was really a chemical handling industry and that the magic of making these microcircuits relied on the use of hundreds if not thousands of very toxic chemicals and thats why they have clean rooms thats why they have bunny suits to try to protect the chips it was never designed to protect the workers it was always designed to protect the product itself oh my god there was a a lot of different chemicals they built the disk drives we had to strip them out and then with the liberty had to dip im in severe gas and with the spiders you just with armed with severe i dunno what it was is i just knew it stunk really bad and you couldnt get it on your skin because it would burn you like nobodys business what what happened was people started getting sick was very strange kinds of illnesses things that didnt seem to make a lot of sense and didnt seem to hang together but increasingly as this happened more and more there was a small group of people that began to think that maybe this was related to the Chemical Exposure on the job. One put music on yeah right now and turn on the music from. But some good music on today. Right there. But theres a thing of. The. One nine hundred seventy five i was eighteen years old and i started working in the Electronics Field i went to spectra physics and they just hired me just like. I was making the end of the laser and i would have to mix up his chemical in i used to call it green go. And get the consistency and then put it into a spray gun and i would have to heat that up after a glued on together that was just all day that i did. Yvette you know the material she was using turns out to be probably in the vicinity of fifty percent little excite she didnt know she was exposed to lead in to with it and i got pregnant with mark in one thousand seventy nine and that was full term my months and were just really happy about it. That he doesnt even know to cross a street and know a car is coming to stop going to the restroom you know i have to go with him in there so i have to system with everything. Number one more you better know what. If i knew what i know now how to read out a spec or physics at the time it was unnecessary it just. Breaks my heart that i could avoid it this. Oh were filing this lawsuit against your employer and its a lawsuit for his son who was born with severe Developmental Disabilities and is a suit concealment of systemic chemical poisoning and case of a vet and for the direct injuries to mark. Marks condition isnt like a cold take antibiotics and youre going to be fine and by a days this is life. Your love just overrides all that and you do what you got to do to this day i still do that. Im sorry getting. And. I discovered i. B. M. Had corporate mortality. Which they kept for thirty years and it kept track of the causes of deaths of their lloyds the most dramatic findings were about cancer for the company as a whole this was thirty three thousand deaths that were in this corporate mortality file so included people who had worked all over the u. S. But then when you look at specific plants like the i. B. M. Plant in san jose there was some extraordinary access cause of death one was brain cancer another was not hodgkinson foma another was melanoma of the skin and in the women Breast Cancer was three and four fold higher than expected. That was the heart of this center was a loss of. Innocent a clear a courtroom today the first trial out of more than two hundred similar lawsuits filed against i. B. M. Former i. B. M. Workers jim bore and a lighter hernandez say they developed cancer from exposure to toxic chemicals at i. B. M. San jose facility in the late seventys or early ninetys i mean literally tried to prevent the results of the tally analysis from ever seeing the light of day in fact they went to the judge and said this cant be used in this case a lot of hernandezs not dead shes going to be in the courtroom and not only was it not relevant the judge said it might prejudice the jury if they saw what these excess costs were and so he denied use of it in the court many of the brands will respond to questions by saying no one has ever proved to me that a Single Person has died from exposure to these chemicals either within inside their factories or outside of the factories and of discussion. But thats not the way that we approach environmental or Occupational Health in the world we are not flying blind here at all especially on the chemicals at issue here in the Electronics Industry actually and most of the common chemical used in all industrial manufacturing weve been at this work for forty years. If you look at the pub listening generated by i. B. M. You would think that we lost everything and thats simply not correct. After the trial i. B. M. Matters were resolved for hundreds of people whose claims to not go to trial. What can you tell us about the settlements. Im not going to be able to talk about any of the resolutions of the cases and. Can you give any details at all did you have to agree not to reveal the details as part of the settlements all i can say is that the matters were resolved thats what im allowed to say. Here its a look at bally Chip Companies and the other Electronics ProductionCompanies Used hundreds if not thousands of toxic chemicals and the most of the chemicals once theyre used in making the components needed to be disposed of as waste the companies ended up storing them in underground storage tanks all over the valley. But what the brilliant people who are designing these systems didnt quite think through all the way was that the solvent swear really good it dissolved ing things and so when you put them into a tank eventually theyre going to eat their way through the tank. Solvents that the Electronics Industry used in production in Silicon Valley in the seventys and eightys are now on in the groundwater and if you think about putting a drop of ink in a bathtub. That spreads really quickly and its really hard to get that dropping back thats what were dealing with except were dealing with multiples of gallons of the stuff that is in the groundwater. In late one thousand nine hundred one there were over one hundred families in one little neighborhood who had Serious Problems and the state Health Department discovered that the families that were drinking the most heavily contaminated water had significantly higher rates of miscarriages and birth defects then did people in other neighborhoods with a Chemical Industry will often say if i had not a dime for every time i heard this but even water can kill you then those non toxic thing of course it can but only if you stick your face down in the bathtub or fall into you know fall into a large body of water. So that has the traditional approach to toxicology is that the more stuff youre exposed to the more harm it causes you but what were seeing in particularly around cancer and around hormone disrupting chemicals is that its when youre exposed to it the time of exposure so if youre in third trimester and you get even a perp or billion or part for truly an exposure it can actually cause significant damage. We formed this Silicon Valley tuxes coalition and we did a summer organizing project getting people to sign petitions asking the e. P. A. Step in with their authority into the Superfund Program yes. Yes. Yes. And i went to a meeting in washington and presented these thousands of petitions saying we need e. P. A. To come in its time for e. P. A. To exercise your authority and to everybodys great surprise they agreed to do that. So Hewlett Packard became a superfund site until became a superfund Site NationalSemiconductor Advanced micro devices i. B. M. You name it they were there and they were all superfund sites and. The cost of cleanup for i. B. M. As well as all the other companies has been tremendous its an enormously slow and tedious process. If you look right over here also this is a major residential neighborhood just directly across the street from this Industrial Site and most of the People Living here today are unaware of this huge toxic plume. And those same chemicals that are still right under where were standing are now beginning to seep back up out of the groundwater through the soil and theyre actually coming into the offices of these Software Engineers ago. And this is the one that e. P. A. Said might take three hundred years to clean up. This is so complicated the devastation is so enormous that were really talking centuries of cleanup not just years or decades. The problem is that it just keeps reoccur. When companies started moving away from Silicon Valley to china i think that they were the only too happy to have the government off their backs. The Chinese Government made an offer to multinational corporations that they couldnt refuse. In the land and you need money and you need government approval and you need lots of people to put it all together well they have all of that in china. To get here and be in the center. Which is just. One of the primary purposes of outsourcing is to enable Companies Like apple to make what are essentially an reasonable demands on manufacturers that they wouldnt and couldnt make if they actually had to employ the workers directly apple doesnt have to worry about what it means to workers when they insist on a tripling of the pace of i phone production. Of the gloom and sounds of those who. Come in the new. Ball. Anyway focused on this is. Now in your. Hands how concerned are you didnt you go by the one you dont we see the sun with the current. Our family can go downhill mysteriously last year. This one dance here. You see the late ninetys. And they. Knew them. Because the year. You know we like to. Do. To. Good. Thing you put in the no. Sound were fine you sound sleep in my new samsung you can still read. About the feelings with this. With you. Know its easy to do so because later so. Basically. I was so good about themselves. Theres a. Good seat on the end of the one if she. Didnt do more than the. One of the nose on. Your feet. And you can get without any engine and when she. Didnt lose a. Bottle from the engine.

She was a Society Hostess in beirut in the 1940s she was in touch with a lot of people from the lebanese the request to make this work. Name was the. And she spied for mossad in lebanon or for.

Killing the count at this time on aljazeera. Hello im Maryanne Demasi and london harry a top stories on aljazeera spains government says it will press ahead with plans to suspend Catalonia Autonomy after leaders there ignored a final deadline to back down on succession Prime MinisterMariano Rajoy will hold a Cabinet Meeting on saturday and trigger article one fifty five of the constitution a measure thats never been used language or it imposed direct rule over the region has more from barcelona. Its not going to be an instant process the madrid government will have to qualify exactly where they believe that the catalonia leadership transgress their normal parameters where they basically essentially broken the rules they have said repeatedly that they want to bring the region back to the galaxy thats the Prime MinisterMariano Rajoy those close to him her phrased it but so exactly how long it will take to pinpoint the detail where the transgressions of the raid its very unclear the u. S. Secretary of state has his house in saudi arabia for failing to resolve that standoff with cata Rex Tillerson says he has little hope the crisis will end soon and blame the saudi led bloc for a lack of progress to listen is preparing to visit the region in a renewed attempt to mediate the crisis now taliban fighters have killed forty three Afghan Soldiers in an overnight assault on a Southern Military camp the group set off two suicide car bombs at a base in the my one district of kandahar it was followed by hours of gun fighting more than one hundred twenty people have now been killed in a series of attacks by the taliban this week.

You know michael thank you guys more for companies in the boat out season is obviously youngest of us to do it has died and fifteen others were injured after an explosion at a foxconn factory in chengdu southwest china that hed actually come to some confronting but you know just how you hold a day or two that occurred at around seven p. M. In a polishing workshop that appears to have been triggered by an explosion of combustible dust in a duct. No one to be surprised that aluminum dust if its in a high enough concentration and there is an ignition source it will produce explosion and fire this is a hazard which is extremely well known. So the fact that apple suppliers have an explosion in chengdu in the plant means that they had very poor housekeeping very poor production processes thats terrible. Whats completely unacceptable is that five months later at another plant that within the apple supply chain they had another explosion and fire. And outrageously inexcusable that they had a second one five months later. They set up the supply chains exactly the way they want them they monitor these private chains with exacting scrutiny so they know exactly whats going into their products at every point along the way. Weve all i think said of the guns. And. So i have an i phone five here and im a show you a little bit about whats inside what makes a tech and the some of the Design Choices that apple made putting it together to the first thing up zero has on the bottom is too proprietary penta loeb screws this is a security scare the apple designed to keep people out of the phone once we get the phone open we can start to see the guts this isnt really a phone its pretty much a full blown computer to make your phone last for eight hours or you need a really big battery. Batteries and phones last about four hundred charges every cell phone i have ever had just popped the back off you can pull the battery out swap a new battery and every year or two you have to replace the battery apple has decided with the the i pod and now the i phone that they dont like that model so what they are doing is building the batteries in the phone and using proprietary screws on their in the temp to limit the lifespan of the phone to about eighteen months which is around the time when they have a new phone and they want you to buy a new one anyway. I think says the company that wants to see everything get fixed so we show people how to fix things and provide the parts tools and guides to enable them to do so helping everyone fix everything so thats the challenge its a big challenge because theres millions of devices out there. Luke and i are reluctant capitalists we get excited selling screwdrivers even though that seems like a boring product because were selling people a capability with able to do something that they wouldnt have otherwise we want to make it simple and easy for me to repair their own stuff. The amount of Raw Materials that go on the products that we use are staggering to over five hundred pounds around material go into making in a down south. So heres an example of a Circuit Board in this new ways this is out of apple laptop from a few years ago even if you make this Circuit Board in the most environmentally friendly way its still going to use a ton of water a ton of money probably literally a ton of water lots and lots of materials. Book when we know of or most of you know. Nothing is different. Yet. Electronics Industries Close the ways that through this the american manufacturers are. Theyre selling a thing and theyre saying well you have it but you dont really on then. Theres no way were ever going to sell you a screwdriver the bill again the ford would never sell you a car and say were not going to make tires available to it to keep your car running after thirty thousand miles you have an entire ecosystem and entire industry thats built on secrecy and were one organization thats trying to pry open the hood a little bit show people whats inside. And weve kind of been conditioned by manufacturers and brands to leave yourself on the outside dont worry about the details we make this product we give it to you and you just use this product and when it stops working you go buy a new one. When we originally started i fix it it was just a way to provide people with some solution to fix broken devices. And over time weve realized both the manufacturing and the environmental problems are all huge concern. Over the last few years ive been to china on a regular basis a lot of that related to our tool manufacturing. Were looking at getting some Circuit Boards manufactured. This is the big Rechargeable Battery and this is the main Circuit Board in here so considering its just a flashlight you can see its a surprisingly complex Circuit Board and ive got these basic schematic to sort of board once we decide well leave them with the facts and proceed to. Finding this supplier that is environmentally friendly has good quality and has reasonable pricing all three of those at once is probably going to be a challenge. For some action photos like. Visiting factories weve found that its surprisingly effective to show up on short notice. In general any factory of its not willing to let you see the factory is an immediate red flag at least for someone that we dont want to do business with. This is the big. A line from the factory said this is where theyre edging it bringing all these nasty acids and other chemicals and. Youve got a little bit of acid believe here you can see acid on the outside in the machine. I walked over to where there were some storage tanks and it was basically assets all over the floor and at the moment i looked over that they told me no get back away from here and this isnt giving me a good feeling. As far as making sure everythings done correctly environmentally it doesnt seem like thats a priority for them. And they got them out whoever. It is the fact that it was so dear to you is the price you have to pay for the last thirty years of development you. Dont want to buy from them. What you that was the time to someone. That i hope what i think when you know i didnt finish the front of me. Not to just lie. Down. And up and tell you to thats when. You saw. The community. Just its a wealthy store so i said no she really wasnt at the time to buy them just smile. And said what the idea what thats like a model of model hope were. Not going to go were going. To do a lot of the next time were done so that it. Doesnt you know but you know when you see you tony. Theres a need to. Do it so you suddenly and so when you push you. Do its a typical high profit. From why your budget dont you think you. Do you see. That is constantly changing and. Im all of those. You. Spend a lot of time travel you. See. We see. This is definitely the most professional of the factories visited. The fact that were being taken through this Water Treatment facility is a really promising sign. You start out with incredibly yucky water and it goes through a progressive series of filters and other processes and eventually you end up with hopefully acceptably clean water. The coolest thing when the water is coming through the Treatment Facility some of the water comes out and dumps into this fountain and they have fished in here in the factory and i said well they know the Water Treatment is working ok as long as the fish are still alive a little unfortunate for the fish because if something breaks maybe the fish die but its clear to me that this would definitely be a factory to buy from up the one we visited. From the institute of public and Environmental Affairs ma june. Thank you ladies and gentlemen im truly honored and humbled to be the First Chinese citizen to receive the scole award was thank you i set up this institute of public on your bar medal affairs ip and our first project is true to a National Water pollution database. Though this records comes from the government sources the public can access the information by click on the locations on the map because people want to know you know who should be held responsible for such a bad what a pollution situation and so far we got some more than one hundred and ten thousand records of violations in our database. April two thousand and ten we file letters to twenty nine mighty brands to check with them whether those polluting factories whether they are their suppliers. All of them responded except to one that is an apple. Apple just give us one statement that is we have a long term policy not to disclose our supply chain or. Not to. My june contacted me and we began to Work Together to apply additional pressure to a company with headquarters here in the United States might join singled out a number of facilities that he believed were in apple supply chain that it had a very heavy Environmental Impact in their locality and when he level of those charges apple was shocked and is sort of in denial that this type of problem to this extent could really exist in their supply chain. I think its important to understand that this is not just about apple you know this is about the id industry. They all share printed Circuit Board manufacturers they all share chip manufacturer is you know despite their audit protocols there is a lot more talk than walk on Environmental Impacts in the supply chain. You say to yourself how could they not know about any of these problems but you know its its always you ask and its all you look for so if youre there and you have a checklist of what you need and you need it now and that checklist does not include whats going on at the end of the pipe of your wasteWater Treatment plant its actually conceivable that you know exactly where its being made you just dont know exactly how its being made and what the impact is. Thats whats going on not just with apple but with all of these companies. Forty years of operating the Environmental Protection agency in this country these are american based companies hard to believe. We still have this industry which is discharging so much waste not just normal ways and a Hazardous Waste. In just one supplier it generates more than one hundred thousand tons of Hazardous Waste in one year. How could we dispose stuff you know in a safe way so how much a time bomb this industry is gonna create. In electronics at this moment in time i believe were in the dinosaur age. Were using too many resources too many Raw Materials and the life of a computer is a typically three to four years. Risk mall company in our hand and a mission is to produce a fair trade computer. In the early days i repaired this component levels on the computers and one imports. From the i noticed that there was huge amount of waste in the computer industry. So we started designing and building a database of raven reuse with computers. This is my fathers environmental drill now electricity and just you know its just its just its just. How can you build a computer would have to ask how could you build a computer without lead mercury p. V. C. s brominated flame returns and all the other heavy metals. That was our gold the material we use is wood so its technology of one hundred years ago but its perfectly good. Computers will last seven to ten years because home users nontechnical people can repair and replace im never place in the memory you can extend the life upgrade ability. To day is these are major launch in europe. Weve lots of invites and to people. We were wards of the worlds first european economy for integrated Desktop Computers it was the worlds first ever achieve this award at that time i thought wow the gates will open with orders for flood in first that was not the case maybe a little bit of naivete on my part as hard as theyre like Government Agencies some people like that there is no room for environmental they are totally just bottom line. Im looking at it now its one little step at a time the what we need to do is work harder build more computers. Get people to join us. Americans toss out a lot of gadgets every day. If we look at the three million or so tons of electronic waste that gets generated in the United States every year probably fifteen percent of that gets recycled. And some percent of that gets recycled in a responsible fashion. From. Far too. Shes a t. V. Movie. Get that idea of the wind you need to fill a room or. To majorca you want so more say on the five. Hundred words. Youll carry the sewage a particular and. The green new or many. Dishes should those with the. Sun the face hunting. Ok the highs it. Should only as you should. The one who has a peak go. To the dress and was. So happy that he will seal hi bill. She says those are shall we. Now. She need. To heisley use a male voice here that has a k. G. B. And she deal with iraq. We think ok well send our you ways to china let them burn it let them have the pollution but we have to remember that air pollution travels around the globe. That pollution is getting lost into the atmosphere and coming right back to us. Metals and metals in metal you know and its theres no other form for it to convert to you can convert it from being in the soil to being in the water to being in the air but you still have a metal. In our work we fly through clouds and we sample the cloud droplets and we measure the chemistry of each one very fast as youre flying through a cloud. There flashing as fast as you can imagine on a screen and we collect all that information and what we get is whats a chemical fingerprint. In california with getting rid of lead in gasoline weve reduced the amount of lead we have and so when lead shows up that is one of the tracers that we say this could be from elsewhere and we can trace it back in time and say you know four days ago this air was over asia. And you have more pollution you have more aerosols those go into the cloud and so you have so many things they cant get big enough to fall and lead to rain. And its giving you these extremes of either not enough water in some places and way too much water in other places. What happens if we push it too far. Well start to see more of these extreme events things like flooding and hurricanes. These are what people often refer to as tipping points and not so thats what were very concerned about happening. My attachment to my devices is more complicated now. Its hard to get excited about the next new model or upgrade knowing what they really cost to make. The industry in its constant search for cheaper workers and land is moving on to new countries with few government safeguards or inspections. We all have a share in this problem. But we can use our voices and our buying power to demand real labor safety and greater Environmental Protections. The digital revolution has improved our lives in so many ways. We need to make sure it doesnt rob us of our health and our planet. Head of the recent flooding in queensland has moved north to stock quite a dramatic run time so you see the cloud now not so much neighbor has been theres rather more happening further south thats a cold front a ragged cold front on its way eastwards it means its left behind a big drop in temperature for all of victoria a good part of South Australia as well as here in the high teens here and sydneys twenty one probably dropped stans the teens as well the day after as a cold front moves up now the chances are well get more significant thunderstorms down the queens and coast by sunday as a result of that was all settled further west purse warmed up about twenty six degrees for a time to get saturday in the sunshine thats a new zealand had a good couple of days to be honest it looks like the good couple days are still to fall or from just going through tasmania and the tasman sea but the bottom end of it isnt that dramatic it just brings a bit of cloud a radius of fall to the south island but otherwise youre in the sunshine its high teens rather than low twentys just like warming trend i have to admit by saturday there is rather more in the way of cloud and sherry right there most its going to be inside north island where if you know clint and look at the west youll see it coming and look out to the east you see blue skies. Outside. Were able to bring a different perspective to global and then. When you peel away. The minute tree in the financial. The people in those words and his policies are affecting. You know lets face it the situation theyre living in. Identify with the story. This is al jazeera
