Weekly political talk show
An open dialogue with decision-makers, with no red lines


A discussion of the course of water negotiations with upstream countries after a summer that saw the lowest levels in the Tigris and the Euphrates for years. The two guests discuss bilateral agreements and the rules of international law on shared rivers, the link between the water and trade files, and what Baghdad needs to turn understandings into guaranteed water quotas.
