Good evening to you this is our internet. Recently and still Court Documents reveal that spurs do far more conspired to aggressively push its opioid painkillers screenshots of email correspondence published in a multi district opioid lawsuits have led to accusations the giant Corporation Cost americas biggest drug epidemic the company is also accused of downplaying the risks of addiction and this led to doctors prescribing its pills to patients only had minor pain for the details is on the scale of. Usas in the midst of an ongoing Opioid Epidemic. Of the. In response to the Opioid Epidemic 48 different us states have taken action against Purdue Pharma a drug manufacturer owned by the Sackler Family now even the company itself admits that those affected should get help as soon as possible while purdy far more is prepared to defend itself vigorously in the opioids a geisha the company has made clear that it sees little good coming from here so its a geisha and the pills the people and communities affected by the opiate crisis need help now now its certainly commendable the focus on helping the victims rather than simply avoiding blame but some 1000000 emails that have just been released show the Sackler Family and produce pharmaceuticals in a rather negative light Richard Sackler then the president oversaw the creation of some Public Health advocacy groups its implied that the American Pain Society and the now defunct American Pain Foundation operated almost as front groups then president Richard Sackler explained his motives our goal is to bind these organizations more closely to us than here to for but also to align them with our expanded mission and to see that the fate of our products are next to it could be bound up with the trajectory of the Pain Movement that these organizations works to convince the us public that came related issues were not being properly addressed however thats not all the emails have shown dr Kathleen Foley a neurologist who was also a paid speaker for produce pharma urged Richard Sackler to expand and to collaborate with other Drug Companies who stood to make a profit from an expansion of pain awareness im thinking of an alternative strategy of bringing together all the members of the pharmaceutical industry who have drugs out there and trying to come together as a sort of hes if you recognizing that your particular drug has been recently identified in the newspapers as a drug issue how the pain a. We are in this campaign may have resulted in giving some people a temporary buzz but the pain felt by us society in the aftermath of the resulting Opioid Epidemic is far greater interior clear that purview pharma and other manufacturers from very early on were interested in one thing in that was their bottom line they were really indifferent to the well being of patients who would actually be taking the opioids that they were peddling and their wanted gender was to make money so hopefully manufacturers played a major role in the current american hope you would have to demick they were not the sole and to do responsible for the epidemic but without their fall i highly doubt this epidemic would have come to pass it was their misrepresentation of the risks and benefits pain killers that led 1st and foremost to an epidemic of over prescribing painkillers for minor chronic pain conditions which ultimately gave way to the current epidemic of opioid addiction an overdose death we have asked for comments will bring you any response as it comes that. Clashes have erupted in hong kong where people took to the streets to sponsor a planned protest having been banned by the authorities. The 1000 started marching peacefully early on saturday through the city center but on respire ok out with police resorting to tear gas and water cannon that was infused with blue dye fires were started in the streets the official reason for the protest ban is the violence thats been seen at previous demos in the past weeks and months. At least of war that anyone taking part in saturdays action could face prosecution u. S. President donald trump commented on the current tensions between hong kong and china saying the anti beijing protests should be handled in a quote humane fashion. I think it will work for the trade. Hong kong would be a much bigger job i think it would have been much more balance i really believe china wants to make a deal and they know it puts us in a very bad position if there is not a humane way of handling the problems and id let them know that. It is a humane fashion on the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs express this discontent with the white house for showing empathy for what it calls radicalize protesters on friday to more protest leaders were arrested it was on suspicion of organizing unauthorized rallies but they were they to released on bail one of them rose to prominence 5 years ago during the Umbrella Movement protests. I. Know matter how democrats. Not just sure of all who we just saw there is one of the leaders of the current protests but apparently he learned the art of protest not just that demonstrations 5 years ago and he trying to explain. Hes only 22. 00 but hes already backed himself at least a few lines in the history books joshua wong has already served several prison sentences hes a leader of a Political Party hes followed 5300000 users on twitter is invited to speak on the most Prominent International news channel clearly your message to anyone who has demonstrated previously is disregards to come out and demonstrate again. Yeah thats. Us now on the phone is prodemocracy activist from Hong Kong Joshua wa he was an independent inquiry into police abuse youve been very critical of Police Tactics he has just got out of prison at 3 and a half hours ago just so how does it feel to be free to issue a warning is frank hed love a bit of western support i hope you as a politician they should take a more active to support hong kong democrat high station to ensure the interests of you asked citizens in hong kong. And probably to go and Economic Freedom in hong kong can still be guaranteed in the future and apparently hes highly admired by many in America Joshua wong went to washington in 2015 to get an award from Freedom House and n. G. O. S which power gets most of its funding from u. S. Government grants and a couple of years american lawmakers nominated the young man and his associates for the noble peace prize this month it was revealed his in touch with american diplomats in hong kong after he was photographed meeting the political unit chief of the local u. S. Consul general the activist said he thought theres no big deal about it even went to washington several times so whats so special about mit in the u. S. Consul chinese authorities though have been making it clear they are firmly against other countries getting involved. In the hong kong situation. We are strongly dissatisfied and firmly opposed to the carping remarks in the g 7 leaders statement acting as the backseat driver on Hong Kong Affairs we have time and again emphasized that Hong Kong Affairs are purely the internal affairs of china and no Foreign Government organization or individual has the right to intervene however some of the protest skills George Szell Wong and his fellow activists have up their sleeves were picked up from abroad in the build up to the 2014 hong kong uprising the folks from the socalled always low Freedom Forum share their protest expertise with joe show wong and co today hes confident Democratic Political reforms are the only way forward for hong kong and he says he wont shy away from challenging the most senior officials at home and in beijing. We spoke to china especially foundry learned he says that the unrest in Hong Kong Spinks by external activists. Or the soul is the business of the middle of the train in the. Freedom forum. Which of course this is all that most of these. Trading whole trading is this ready all tactics all some of. The simple civil disobedience that its so i think the and also the funds. Supported by the International Organizations including the less little. Because the of the United States of course you know is this is a democratic country and this organization has the support the ball sees around the world but on the other hand its the richly. Of inputs but only had it was those of the highly trained look at the way. Theyre always been at the phone and also policy in those of the ministers so. You do release the emails reveal how chemical John Monsanto attempted to discredit an action group campaigning against these weed killer moms across america had raised the alarm about the use of one of the companys leading products called roundup thats your enemy read it out of them and put them on the defensive and you want to have this problem i have been arguing for a week to beat the shit out of them and i have clearly lost we dont want to be seen as beating up on mothers nobody will listen to it anyway it has to be done by 3rd parties toward 13 the unction group sent an open letter to monsantos top management calling on them to stop selling g. M. O. Seeds and spraying crops with life to save another person the suns moms across americas director told us why the organization promotes organic farming. All we need to do is to take matters into our own hands and to make sure that the food supply is safe and that our families are not exposed to toxic chemicals and what weve done is created a moms across america Gold Standard and so this is a new seal of approval that brands can get to show that theyre not only organic and not g. M. All but theyve gone the extra mile and gotten some pesticide testing done their packaging might even be bio degradable so your trade is used to mainly raised animal products is used and they support the transition from g. M. O. Chemical farming to regenerative organic farming and so as a mother and mothers by 85 percent of the food we believe that they are listening to us and that it does make a difference and we ask all the consumers out there to continue speaking up and to go to moms across america dot org and find out more about our Gold Standard that will be launching next month. Now its not just moms across america that has been targeted by monsanto documents reveal the company also operated a socalled Intelligence Fusion Center its a 2 month and discredit critics who claim that glyphosate the main ingredient of monsantos weed killer is extremely dangerous to human health life a site thats a herbicide and crop drying agent after it sprayed onto crops it ends up in food in the air and in tap water and several lawsuits monsanto is going to say product was ruled to have actually caused cancer but the company says that its product is safe to use and its appealed against those verdicts on cross americas director again here telling us that this shows the companys disregard for Public Health this is an example of the type of mentality that g. M. O. Companies have and that shows a complete disregard for Public Health and this is very disturbing considering that our government would like to now into the hands of regulation into the hands of these companies they are proposing to allow g. M. O. Companies to dish so determine whether or not their products are safe or not and so as a mother just doesnt make any sense to me at all that the mentality of these taste people will have control over whether or not our supply is safe thats extremely disturbing to me and must not happen in our government must regulate g. M. O. Those and they must be able to determine whether or not theyre safe or not and these emails are a very good example exactly why that must happen for. Us democratic president ial hopeful joe biden has been making his case as to why he should get his partys nomination but some of the stories hes been telling well on the campaign trail about when he was in afghanistan theyve turned out to be not entirely true and not for the 1st time. The. Young navy captain up in the mountains in a cone our ground in afghanistan is one of his buddies got shot fell down a ravine of the sky climbed down a ravine carried this guy up on his back under fire general want to me to pin the silver star on to. I love this place i would look whats not to like about from on terms of the beauty of it and what a neat town to. Watch with populace can support can come up to see moonalice Vice President then one of them suffer some you covered. International leaders spoke about you had people like. You had people like the beach i know every one of these leaders except i dont know the new Prime Minister of of of england he looks like down chump i dont know. 4 kids who just as bright and just as talons white kids plan on syrian time fantasies of friends hes been my friend. I stay with out international that stick around more news in just a couple of minutes. When lawmakers manufacture consent to public wealth. When the ruling classes protect themselves. When the crime. Lifts and we dont want. To ignore middle of the room sick. When it comes down to it it is not actually that i think one can say oh well the russians are all bad this certainly is not the case that the west is all good there are absolutely things of the west needs to be doing and what i would like to see is much much less of the church hopefully counterproductive rhetorical struggles we see against russia that its you know it its become an easy way of getting certain the audiences to applaud you is to come up with cheap russian bashing that helps move. But his stance Prime Minister has warned about a looming direct military confrontation with india over kashmir during demonstrations and his love about on friday imran khan urged the world to address the issue in order to avoid a catastrophic conflict. When muslims are oppressed those who we call the International Community those bodies who is supposed to uphold justice keep silent army is ready to respond to any move against the free kashmir but the world must know that when there are 2 states with Nuclear Weapons that clash will impact not only the subcontinent but the whole was. All the region in question kashmir is located in the north of india and pakistan both countries like claim to the area that the un describing it as a disputed territory cycled line of control remains the defacto border in kashmir maintains its own administration however earlier this month india revoked its special autonomy status pakistan says the move the stabilizes the status quo india has accused its neighbor of fostering terrorism in the region the un prohibits changes to any disputed territory so severe its kashmir is muslim majority population could be targeted by people of other faiths in the region the dispute over the territory has been ongoing for more than 70 years without a solution. Lets go live now to java drano whos in islamabad based expert on political and geo Strategic Issues very good even if you judge it lets start with a monk words wary anthracis that pakistan is ready for war do you believe hes sincere about that or is this just an attempt to get the attention of the International Community. Well in domes of military build up. Is on a regular well theres a military build up on along with the borders with india not only in kashmir were also of the International Borders with india so to that extent pakistan remains a deep in pakistans if force is also on the red alert and then did have been. Obvious ones border with india. And so many soldiers from those have been cute and every next to india has been killing civilians on pakistani side of the. Stand there is a situation like of war like situation it is not a full scale war but i think there is a bigger trouble something has pointed out and that is the mean indian part of. It has been under. One month people are dying of starvation because of knuckle medicine and then people inside. This asking Security Forces dive they be short of bed instead of being tortured so in that kind of situation and theres more frustration that means that they are these people these educators possibly end up in the hands of the military and theyre going to conduct suicide bombing and whenever that kind of situation happens then india have a bill in pakistan that perhaps it has been sponsored by pakistan when as a matter of fact it is a situation inside nearly 900000 but if youre going to bet on leave troops out of their back to flex that in. Every conceivable a method to suppress this uprising that is unlikely to happen and i think there is a bigger trouble which is the least and underscored in this part of the world and that is that fight last 2 decades died aboard want to bring an end will be is military and to bring an end to jihad and of money stahl and. Envenomed there is a vote the very 1st to focus on is going off. Of what they call jihad which is a holy war which means every it will be incumbent on every pakistani under under to jihad and fighting against india and in a situation where did god more than 1000000 people in india out there have lost your citizenship and most of them are muslims and a similar battle is going to be there you know all over india there is the strongest possibility that this jihad is going to suppress all over india from should be it to all of india that these bully. Doesnt aboard very well for india it doesnt award florist of governors and the 2nd is not who is death in this situation there is a possibility all 3 of miscalculation and in that us did it would be a degree of war.

Counters also facing another pressing problem the illegal draining of aquifers by both locals and industries is causing massive land subsidence and thats put many buildings on the brink of collapse we asked indonesians for their thoughts on the plan to move the capital to borneo.
