Large parts of india have experienced a drought in decades this year. The monsoon which usually provides some relief was weeks late and when it finally arrived it was once again deficient with less rain falls and expect. 600000000 indians thats nearly half the population of facing acute. Despite Economic Growth and recently it remains one of the most unequal societies in the world and that inequality can be seen in peoples access to lifes most basic necessity. While swimming pools in Luxury Hotels remain full 3 quarters of the population dont have Drinking Water as. The effects of the draw the most clearly in rural india. 300000 farmers have killed themselves in the past 25 years and many more have deserted their crops to move to cities in search of work leaving behind the elderly. Today on talk to aljazeera we traveled to one of indias worst affected regions in the state of maharashtra to look at the impact the drought is having on people. This is the moment of villages wait for sometimes for days the arrival of a truck carrying a tank of water. The desperate scramble for one of lifes most basic necessities. Women men and children come on top of the truck while its still moving afraid they much you miss out on they share. These government tanks provide about 20 metres of water a day per person that is the size of this bucket and the women here aggression that water for all of their household needs including drinking cooking and bathing. Suit that by gaekwad lives and i had a wide gown village with a daughter and granddaughter she teaches at the local school. See the by how hard is life for you right now because of the drought and the lack of water. Leave you one could be in a van and one at my bank but iowa but there have been a bit there. Plan it. A. Bit at night. Then up and buy a new bit of. Credit. And it would. Learn to live. There to live. There was better to do a little of that theyve. Done that and i like that that theyre the 1. 101 on it and fed up of our way. And that little bit of water that you do have how do you use it how much of it do you drink coke with bathe with clean did not as i did with a book. But the one told us that they did but it. Was fun to hold their thought up. And if theres. A lot of it up on that when i was it was a lot but at that moment they did to us and it database had done but. They say the drought in maharashtra is the worst in nearly 50 years and that theres less and less rainfall every monsoon do you see that. Done a lot up on and i had a lump on and i doubt that it is out of. The how to wire it. Up on but i do some of the plan is out of place here the bums out and. The situation is so bad apart from the water tankers that do say every 4 to 5 days is the government helping you in any other way. He asked out of the top. Out of the. Sagal i. Doubt it but i. Got one of. Them are that up the bow out of that. I mean its a plan. And all of it has a plan of a lot of like heres a look at the thing that im one of bonnie. Bell up on its a must think to. Invade city we meet lauda a tank operator who has a government contract he manages 170 trucks which provide water to 110 villages. He takes us to one of the reservoirs where his tankers fill up. If i need to post what up on the up i will have to be about there and you are saying that in 2016 this reservoir was full of boy scouts will army your boat i will go to what i will use to buy their bodies so we need sleep on it but the more you. Believe that there. Is no b. C. Part of i think theres a battle going. On about a little more about the. Lord tells me that theres not this reservoir for 15 days but knowing about that we go to. School youre doing a good we hung up on you going to the way the people were destroyed maybe your bunny had a bee house apprentice teles commercial beheld them. Going. All got a bunny theyll deny you a little bit of money got to do this at the. In maharashtra more than 6000 tankers supply water 215000 villages every day the government tankers provide water for free but many a private making money by selling water to people and businesses villages say the cost of buying water from private operators has shot thompsons the drought. Do you only get your water from government tankers a are you sometimes paying tankers to come here as well or youre going to get that. This little boy got an army but there really are. That it does it about something together when you get back when i when you really want to answer for me. But the thought of a bit. About i did sort of about. The beard on our planet and at that moment there. There were also complains about government tankers everywhere we go people tell us the water trucks dont come as often as they should the water tankers are supposed to come every day but were hearing from many people that theyre only coming every 4 or 5 days whats your experience. With them is there does a lot of. Good because i thought that it probably miracle. Like i bet it was a. Lot of my visit was a lot about it but im not 100. 00 that it probably must not be as ive been wired to figure out whats wrong g. P. S. Tracking devices have been installed on 1000. 00 government tankers the water tankers which are providing why are they being g. P. S. Tracked. Because of the. Monitoring and sometimes we get to complain theyre. Not. Going on route all day or not completing their trips so they have. G. P. S. On oil tankers because there are allegations of course that some awesome water tankers operators are benefiting from this terrible situation thats a different scenario in fact if you see human history. We find many. People trying to benefit claim situation to benefit in more warlike situation for that a different aspect of human being but if we are talking about the tankers theres some there are some places and we are getting out we get complaints from the local villagers because tankers are 1000 tankers approximately meet making the 2000 trips and sometimes indian feel sometimes they are human and sometimes many other problems and due to their. Tankers are unable to fulfill their trip or their promises so people complained to us and they went to be a digital system if you get the complaint if you buy a mobile go by 24. 00 telephone call then immediately reiterate dont the g. P. S. Of the tanker with the location what is the problem and you try to create just a situation and do you ever think that its incredible that we are in a situation where we have to put g. P. S. Tankers which are carrying what should be. The most basic of necessities. In fact. G. P. S. Is the latest technology and i think the latest technology should be used to bring transparency and accountability in the administration and in goal meant and because goldman is using tankers as a tool to provide. So obviously. Technology should be used but it highlights doesnt it that water has become so precious that. We asked if he certain his workers who should be providing water for free arent making money from the drought there have been a lot of stories a lot of allegations actually that some tanker operation is benefiting from the drought in the state that they are actually making money are you certain that all of your operators and your workers are doing what theyre supposed to getting the water to the people who really need it and not profiting from their need. To have how do. You collect the. Other opera which will look like you heard of. The war but our big bang but i only got a day or dont go there which. People. With. Your confident that all of you workers are doing the right thing but are there some that are taking advantage of the situation and are making money so i suppose we could. Be here.

These scenes have become all too familiar rescue workers at times dig for hours to find survivors and remove the dead civilian infrastructure schools hospitals. And help the syrians are protected under International Humanitarian law theyre meant to be spared and yet theyre being impacted more than anything else so there has to be outrage. The latest offensive is no different from previous ones during the 8 year war they are carried out with impunity and little accountability.

Istanbul. Well earlier we spoke to rupert cole the list spokesman for the uns high commissioner for human rights he says government airstrikes are relentless and indiscriminate where were definitely seeing a military escalation in general but particularly from the Government Forces and their allies over the past 3 months or so and just in the past 2 weeks i would say its escalated even further with daily attacks and multiple attacks daily i mean over and above what we were talking about this morning we were hearing of more as strikes last night and some early today as well so its ongoing its relentless and the people suffering most of all in are not the fighters well the wider issue of child casualties in the worlds conflict zones is the subject of a new report at the United Nations now to syria has obtained a copy it says that last year the saudi and the raja Led Coalition in yemen killed or injured 729 children accounting for the heart of all child casualties in the country it also blames israel for the deaths of 59 children and the injury of nearly 2700 the highest numbers in 4 years in syria airstrikes barrel bombs and cluster munitions killed or injured more than 1800 children while afghanistan had the most child casualties for another year with 3062 our diplomatic editor james bays has more now from the United Nations. This report comes out every year it makes very grim reading its from the secretary general of the u. N. To the Security Council its not yet been published but aljazeera has obtained a copy of the report ready in recent years its become a political hot potato with 2 countries not wanting to get mentioned in this report and thats israel and saudi arabia its pretty clear to me from reading this report that theres been political pressure again because inside the report it says that israels responsible for the highest number of deaths of palestinian children 59 in 2800 for 5 years and yet at the end of the report the amex which lists the countries and groups responsible for killing children israel is not mentioned saudi arabia does get a mention on the list but on the part of the list here of listed parties that have put in place measures during the reporting period aimed at improving the protection of children there are saudi arabia the saudi Led Coalition in yemen has been under that section for 3 years it does though beg the question if theyre putting measures in place to stop killing children to protect children why are children in yemen still dying well Lou Charbonneau is the u. N. Director at human rights watch. Its good that the Syrian Government remains. The worst part of the blacklist for what its been doing in the war there same for the military in myanmar and the south sudanese military were quite disappointed by the inclusion of the saudi Led Coalition on what is known as the not so bad part of the list of shame its the category of countries and that are trying to improve that are taking that have put measures in place to improve their record when it comes to protecting the rights of children theres simply no evidence that the saudi Led Coalition has made any improvement and they have been committing appalling atrocities against children for years now since 2015 and to to include them year after year as a as a country that is as a coalition that is improving sort of makes a mockery of it because if they are improving why arent they getting off the list there there is another element to that. The as you said israel is not included in the blacklist although the report highlights some very worrying facts that more children have been killed more palestinian children have been killed largely by Israeli Forces since 2014 the us Supreme Court is allowing the use of pentagon funds for the southern border wall that rule that president from can buy that 2500000000. 00 from the Defense Department to fund the project in june he was blocked from doing so by a california judge not to kill him is the latest from washington d. C. U. S. President ellen from taking to twitter claiming a huge victory at the u. S. Supreme court and for now it is a victory the conservative justices ruling that he can spend begin spending about 2500000000. 00 in money that was meant for the u. S. Military to begin signing contracts to replace border wall on the southern border now its a little bit more complicated than that basically this lawsuit was over the question of whether the president can simply ignore congress to Clara National emergency and use money the congress doesnt need it for other areas of the government to fund his wall to earlier judges had said we dont know if thats going to be legal but in the meantime you cant build the wall the Supreme Court is saying go ahead you can Start Building the wall but theyre not deciding on the merits of the case they want to let the lower courts work through it make those decisions as to whether or not the president is in his right to do this but in the meantime hes going to declare prop a political victory and hes going to say the wall is being built well cliff and stein is director of the center for ethics on the rule of law at the university of Pennsylvania Middle School she says the Supreme Courts ruling is a symbolic gesture to support donald trump the taxpayer is going to pay for this and the funds are being diverted for other military necessities ironically some of them went to Border Protection so in fact there was a diversion of funds from some of the very same points that donald trump has been arguing is necessary here but the Border Protection in this case was not supposed to be building a wall and as the lead into the story that you had so ably explained this is such a small proportion of the funds that are necessary to build this wall that its really a symbolic gesture on the part of the Supreme Court supporting Donald Trumps authority as commander in chief of the armed forces.
