Leads tributes at a memorial for a teacher who was beheaded in paris last week. A round the clock curfew in the nigerian city of lagos after reports demonstrators were shot on tuesday. And they calling on the year of a special need for Young Workers at the polling stations for this years us president ial election. Hello everyone there is a crisis that has overcome so many communities in the United States in addition to the corona virus pandemic it is the fight against opioid addiction and the u. S. Justice department has in the past few hours announced that the drugs manufacturer. Has pleaded guilty over its role in the countrys epidemic in a deal with the u. S. Governments the company is pleading guilty to 3 federal criminal charges and will pay a fine of 8300000000. 00 the owners of the wealthy family have been ordered to pay 225000000. 00 in civil penalties. They lost control and ownership of a company that was worth very significant amounts of money they will have no future involvement with that company if the Bankruptcy Court approves this resolution instead of being the owners of a Major Pharmaceutical Company they will have no stake in that company instead it will be a Public Benefits company with no continuing participation or involvement by them she pretends hes been following the story for us this wednesday from washington high she had tell us more about the 1000000000. 00 fine im interested to know she where that money goes. Right oh actually whether thats left here the meets the eye theres a sense that the farmers are going to pay anything like 8000000000. 00 because it is as we just heard a company in bankruptcy so its probably its likely to pay a fraction of that amount and that 225000. 00 figure that you mentioned for the Sackler Family is a fraction of the billions of dollars that the that they made from the sale of opioids since the ninetys and we should remember the reason why the so what itll per do follow was its long been documented that it was purging pharma and the sac a family who made a very cold decision in the in the ninetys to market what was an effective drug for people suffering from chronic pain but but that obviously had problems with addiction as a kind of cure all for all sorts of elmers they decided to market it aggressively and for all sorts of things and they downplayed the risk of addiction to doctors and patients so what theyve admitted to now to the government is misleading the government as to the sort of controls that they had on the distribution of oxycontin but also theyre admitting to actually paying doctors effectively to prescribe oxycontin to patients even though theres no medical value no proven medical value for those prescriptions and paying pharmacies to prescribe oxycontin even though perhaps out of all of these its stopped prescribing it because they were worried so these are very serious charges theyve agreed to an 8000000000. 00 penalty but its yet to be seen what that actually means in reality but certainly federal prosecutors federal attorneys are very satisfied with us. The unlawful dangerous scheme put profits over people by seeking to increase scripts for addictive jaros even when they were not medically appropriate and at the height of the u. S. Opioid crisis at a time when in vermont where im from and across the country people were suffering under opioid addictions that sometimes ended in death and so many of those addiction stories began with oxy cotton it is wrong and we hope that guilt produce guilty plea will send a message that the department of justice will not allow big pharma and big tech to engage in illegal conduct that corrupts the doctor patient relationship she had on the political side of things is this potentially good news for donald trump and his administration that this announcement comes out 2 weeks before the election the house when some reporting in the new yorker and elsewhere trumpet ministration of official officials have been pushing for some sort of settlement because this was a promise made in 2016 that he would crack down on big pharma crack down on those responsible for the Opioid Epidemic in the United States but thats also led them to suspicions from several quarters that this rush to a settlement 2 weeks before the election was more politically motivated but that the in fact actually more fighting could have been done to really hold a grudge the executives of the company or Sackler Family accountable because right now this would appear to be just the cost of doing business as far as the financial penalties are concerned and no one is being actually the individual who must or maybe these decisions actually are being held to account Shihab Rattansi following developments from washington thank you shihab and now can you and its with us the journalist and the author of dreamlands the true tale of americas opiate epidemic as a results of this research he actually testified in front of congress to discuss these findings so great to talk to you sound from the sounds of this today. I mean she had was outlining the lets you know all of this money this fine may not actually be paid lets say it is how much of a win is that for the millions of families and people in the United States have been affected by this epidemic. Yeah thats a good question and i dont think it will go very far im i dont i mean i know that in some small states in the United States 8000000000 doesnt even cover what one state would would tally would be the cost just in terms of you know cost off hospitals and jails and corners offices and foster children agencies and you can go on a very down a very long list and i think in in in in the state of massachusetts alone for example its quite a bit more than that for just one year in fact and so 8000000000. 00 does not go. Terribly far and doesnt come close to what its really the cost of the something demick across across the country because virtually every state in america has been affected in this way right so id like you to expand on that for us we have a an International Audience who may not be aware of how big and bad the situation has been the phrase epidemic is easy to say but i want to get some sense of the real scale for a few as. Well we have to have it in the laos several years record overdose deaths. On unlike anything weve ever had in this country i think those those numbers are those numbers are greater than all the americans killed in the vietnam entire 15 year the vietnam war every year every year were losing about that number of people certainly recently on i think in fact that those numbers actually smaller than them and i mean that was an undercount which due to a lot of technical issues and problems with smaller counties not being able to keep up with the numbers of deaths but its even more than that its a its a general malays that its a huge amounts of addiction the key is that consumes not just the person whos addicted but the family and then the extended family and frequently. Thats the neighborhood sun and churches and businesses and schools all are all around it and you can go to many states in the country where this is just been a. Torment for really 2020 years and in many states and theres really i dont think any large part of the country that has not faced this problem and then of course addiction to opioid prescription painkiller pills and by by doctors has led many people to to be addicted to switch to heroin these are very similar drugs heroin or are opiates as well so they have Higher Standards whirls figured out that the sentinel was a problem sorry to interrupt but how is it that a drug that youve just described that can become as you know is it not dissimilar to to to heroin offense in the end that it became something that was dispensed so easily i think of course one of the telling us earlier that you know it was sort of known is that the candy man because that is dulling it out like sweets or weld perdue wasnt doling it out they were present they were telling other they were convincing doctors that this was the way to go the story behind how that happened is a very very long one but the idea was that companies are doing and others convinced doctors that they now could use narcotic painkillers derived from the opium poppy for all d manner of pain problems wisdom tooth extractions bad backs and in huge amounts and not just not just for one from but for for an endless refills and so on and and doctors are convinced of this and that was taught in medical school that this was the new way to treat pain and that there was no risk of addiction if people werent paying if the patient was something that patient could not get addicted that was what was from motive by Pharma Companies and by pain specialists as well and doctors all across the country bought this idea it turned out to be incredibly wrong turns out to be not based at all in science. And out to be a massive. I think frankly a an idea that that was really promoted by by the profit motive more than anything more than anything else that companies wanted to just see it ike huge amount of money to be made in all this and doctors kind of went along with some of them did not others went along reluctantly and others want a long wait eagerly but whatever the case use you saw this fellowship in narcotic pain prescription pain killers take place beginning in the mid ninetys across the country and rising every year for the next 1517. 00 right 17 years and we are still living with that because even though prescription pain killers are really in decline its still are living with the problems of heroin addiction sentinel now is a huge and very very deadly problem such an important story for us to talk about and sam im really glad you could join us sam can you in a say in a sensuous thank you on to other news in the french president emanuel mccrone has been leading tributes out a memorial for the teacher who was beheaded last week samuel a patsy was killed after showing count tunes of the Prophet Muhammad to his students an 18 year old from chechnya in russia was shot dead by police after fridays attack 7 suspects have been taken to an Antiterrorism Court for questioning by a judge just well i didnt do that tonight i wont talk about the procession of terrorists of their accomplices and all the collets who have committed and made this as a nation possible i wont talk of those who gave his name to the barbarians they dont deserve it they dont even have a name anymore Bernard Smith is in paris covering the story i mean just the facts that the french president a man your icon was there speaking at this memorial today shows you how big and how significant this has been in france. Yeah an indication of the shock across this country of the brutality of the murder of this teacher beheaded in daylight as he walked home from school and emanuel mccrum in that address although he said this was about the teacher this was about some of the party this evening was about remembering him he said why was samuel potty killed and he said that is because islamists want our future they will never have it the president says it comes only a couple of weeks after president machen spoke about and promised to crack down on what he called islamic separatism of what he sees an attempt by conservative islamic beliefs to impose these conservative islamic beliefs beliefs over friends is more liberal traditions so hes under a lot of pressure macron because of what has happened because he has an eye on the election in 2022 when he will likely face off again against Marine Le Pen from the far right hes under pressure to be seen to be doing something and while this was a remembrance for some of the Party Tonight and of course it is a above all a personal tragedy for his family this was also an opportunity for emanuel macron to hit out again of what he calls this islamic separatism bernard i mentioned. Just briefly before there was an Anti Terrorism court in play here whats the prosecutor there been saying. Well earlier today prosecutors have said that they believe that the killer the 18 year old chechen killer samuel party paid a couple of students 14 and 15 year old students around 400. 00 to identify the teacher and then the killer said to these students im going to film him and force him to apologize on camera on a video camera and then im going to humiliate him and im going to hit him and the students agreed to identify the teacher and stay with him while he did this of course no indication that these students knew this teacher was about to be murdered but the Prosecutor Says they could face charges for complicity in a terrorist assassination and also the father of a student who posted an angry facebook video denouncing and criticizing the teacher he could also be charged with inciting the attack on samuel patty thats opponent smith with the update from paris thank you bernard. We are exactly quarter past this new sound and heres whats coming up. Armory chalons instep not far from the battle front of no corner karabakh keep watching to find out whats an International Charity is doing to make sure that unexploded munitions like these dont kill civilians around here. But also look at how the need for social distancing is failed to protect the young Homeless People in the u. S. And kept many out of shelters and this german world cup winner was hit back at his own club santa will have the sport a little late to. Nigeria now where protesters against Police Brutality are defying the 24 hour curfew as well as a call for calm from president mohamed bihari. Security forces in lagos opened fire on wednesday morning after several demonstrators were reportedly shot dead on tuesday in another part of lycos which is nigerias commercial capital a large fire was burning at a bus station. And videos are emerging of them in uniform opening fire and killing people in lagos on tuesday even though there are uniformed Security Forces denying any sort of involvement more from a manager is now hes reporting from nigerias capital abuja. Security officers are still out on the streets so some individuals many of them weve seen over the last few hours weve seen videos of some people even going into peoples house trying to break into their cars break into rooms apart from the violence weve seen earlier today there was reports of a section of the nigerian port forward to building in a set on fire and weve also seen how a television station was burned a large section of it was a set ablaze by some people and then the identified people protesters say its not them one of the independent channel was for most of the ad because of what it called impending attack on the i need to operations in lagos eventually after a few always the television station is back on and now and weve also seen how apart from that bus station with also seen how people have been running helter skelter that means that the protests are still going on the latest by the run around the clock car fuel being put in place the governors address the lagos state community asking them to calm down asking for patience while this is being sorted out. And now sit down with Security Forces the fired tear gas at protesters who are complaining about the cost of living the annual inflation rates hit a record peak of more than 200. 00 a sense that happened last month as Transitional Government is really struggled to revive the economy after the overthrow of president on up a shia last year more from him all going in cutting. Protesters in khartoum and various parts of sudan are comrie thing the 21st of october which marks the anniversary of the 1st sudanese revolution in 1964 now the black smoke that you see behind me is the result of protesters burning tires to express their frustration at how this government has been operating over the past 2 years protesters say that the Economic Conditions have been getting worse since this government took power in august last year and they also say that the military is still in control of many institutions something that they say goes against their revolution which started the 18 now protesters have been met with tear gas and stun grenades most of them have run away from where they are right now just a little bit to where i was standing right now and then back again and they say thats because they do not accept this use of force by Security Forces now many of them also say that theyre not here to oust the president the government of Prime Minister of the but rather to vent out their frustration and to put pressure on this government to try to improve the Economic Situation as well as complete what they say is the demands of the revolution which is forming a transition Legislative Assembly and holding to account those who are responsible for killing protesters since 2018. Thailands Prime Minister says he is preparing to lift the emergency measures put in place to stop protests. Insists the ban on down there will be overturned if there is no more violence thousands of people around it for a consecutive days in defiance of the ban they want the time Prime Minister to resign as well as reforms to the monarchy.

Clearance clearance of this area checking for any unexploded items and then destroying them almost in situ because these items cannot be kind of touched and they can land anywhere such as buried in the mud inside this chicken coop another one for the clearance teams. The danger is that anyone could pick them up either because they dont recognize the latest weapons or because they want to move them out of the city which is exactly whats happened here so here we have a collection of different munitions most of them the ones with red ribbons are cluster bomblets that fell upon occurs and theyve been brought here by local residents who physically pick them up and put them in a box any one of them could have exploded.

And Security Forces in Lagos Nigeria have reportedly fired on protesters again on wednesday despite a 24 hour curfew crowds of returns to the streets to demonstrate against Police Brutality. Theres been more violence in guineas capital conakry between Security Forces and opposition supporters and follows a tense president ial election between the incumbent president alpha conde and its main rival challenged. Nicolas hawke live in forests now tell us more like. Come on were just outside they get good they have embassy here in their car theres more than 3500000. Living in neighboring senegals and if you look right behind me theyve just gathered outside one of the main arteries of the capital the car stopping traffic earlier on physically Security Forces fired tear gas to spread the crowd by. Theyre staying here theyre chanting said lou said who said with the name of the opposition candidate said with allen general who claimed victory after sundays vote now theres a protest in the capital cannot create deadly protests where there is clashes between the Security Forces and those supporters of said to the land especially after last night announced by the Election Commission who gave out partial results only 4 out of the 38. 00 districts were announced and all 4 went to according to the Election Commission to incoming president outside. During this day of protests that we saw in the capital could create the areas mostly populated by full lonnies which are known to be supporters of settling down in july well there were electricity that were shut down and we saw Security Forces deployed their. Inhabitants in those areas say that Security Forces fired live rounds we know that at least 8 protesters were killed. A Police Officer also was killed during those protests and kemal the final results have yet to be and now its in such theres still and theres already such a level of violence that shows you the level of distrust there is between the people and the institutions overseeing the vote of course sitting down and jello himself says that he has won this election but he hasnt given out his tally publicly his house is being surrounded by Security Forces were told hes not allowed to leave his home so very much a tense situation in the capital conakry as well as on the countryside in guinea but also in neighboring countries where there are so many get in migrants especially here in senegal that have settled and the people there that were here that we spoke to some of them saying like we are fed up of seeing African Leaders staying in power for so long most of the people who live in guinea and most of all that we see here that getting in here are under the age of 25 they feel a disconnect between their leadership and their own. And thats why you have such a high level of protests here outside the 82 year old if he wins this election hell be close to 90 when he leaves office and so he amended the constitution back in february to extend his stay in power despite widespread protests in could not create an outside we saw some protests here in the cart now the good population here are 3500000 of them while they were not allowed to vote during this election when we spoke to said and done jello. He said that was intentional be because he knows he has such widespread support in this country but the Election Results are expected in a weeks time and were expecting more violence in the days to come come all keeping an eye on things the situation in ghana he is in to go. Well one of the concerns about the upcoming u. S. Election is how few polling stations will actually be open remember the majority of poll workers are people over 60 years old and so many of them understandably a hasnt hesitant to work on the day because of the pandemic that is allied to a high profile recruitment drive talking to younger people to help out and support us from paris telling. Us elections need thousands of people to make everything work jacki names handed out ballots even doling out those stickers usually the majority of these temporary workers are older but given their risk for corona virus many said they would sit this year out sending Election Officials scrambling were down about 50 percent thats 20000 people who are trying to recruit to be election judges as a result the state of maryland is closing about 80 percent of the places where people usually vote but in some cases theyre opening up larger facilities like this arena hoping that just fewer workers can help many more voters i mean these places are even though in the local. Transportation routes so. In order to. Use theres nearly clothing or even as an election. There are requirements within a certain distance to close. But during the primary fewer places meant longer lines in many States Election lawyers fear this shortage of poll workers could be exploited in some areas to hurt democrats weve seen unfortunately more voters of color being affected by those poll closings and consolidations some counties you know specifically targeted minority communities for these closures and consolidations so now superstar athletes like Le Bron James and others are getting involved using their celebrity. And their money to recruit poll workers especially for minority areas its got done kumble is the codirector of power the polls and he says theyve been able to recruit more than half a 1000000. 00 young people what were doing is were really trying to go where young people are these days which social media and so one of the one of the reasons for organization is you know Election Officials dont know how to run instagram had somehow run snap chat ads so really working closely with forms like snap to try to get young people and if we have we have succeeded and this is expected to be an election like no other record turnout in the midst of a pandemic and a u. S. President hoping to cast doubt on the elections credibility his opponents thinking creatively about how to give him one less reason to do that particularly aljazeera maryland. With us on skype now from new york on iran because a documentary producer is unfortunate currently unemployed but heidi youre going to be a 1st time poll worker tell us why youre going to do it. Its nice to be here thank you for having me. I mean ive been voting im just getting under the wire of the 60 year old thing but ive been voting since i was 18 year old ive been i really believe in voting and. I think it just came down to like when my country needed me me when my city needed me i was to the challenge my want to make sure that everybody gets to vote even in some place like new york which is decidedly liberal but i cant think of our vote has had greater consequences in this election in my lifetime ok so youre going to do this in new york when you went to sort of sign up as a polling station worker what sort of picture did they paint of they say you know we really need people here its looking at its looking dire. Well i went through powered power to the polls but we as in most places i do think every poll worker ive ever encountered in new york city and i mean brooklyn has has been older so i knew they needed people. So i dont think it wasnt like they had to make a huge. Huge push and i think everybody that i know is doing as much as they can to help out with the election this year are you worried about is that you as well are you worried about the day itself on to the fact that there will be a lot of people and presumably quite confined spaces yeah i mean i think its like its not like it hasnt entered my mind and i plan to get tested 5 days before the election because i do think that the dangers are more of the those about us we are required to be there from 5 am to 10 pm and like my local place that i vote here is you know its the basement of a library so its just like the call centers that are impacted the walmart workers who have been impacted the danger is us being in that room with the research relating error with people who make a potentially be sick for you know more than 12 hours. But then if you could hear a report from Patty Calhoun just before we spoke but someone in her report talks about the concerns of a public transport about people actually being able to get that now new york public transport is the king there people use the subway and bus is all the time do you think that could be potentially a concern for people getting to the polls. Yeah i found that out on twitter this morning or i actually asked the m. T. A. If they were going to we do not have subways running now between one in 5 and. 1 am and 5 am we have to be at the polls at 5 am and while 15000 poll workers in new york city they they do try to assign you the proximity to your home but theres another 10000 that are going to have to go someplace other in the borough so yeah im very im very concerned about the subways not running because not everybody can afford to take you know a car service not everybody can afford to pay for that and im very concerned that that could actually result not only into lays an opening were were choir to get to the polls at 5. 00 and voting starts 6 and with a whole bunch of you know 1st time coworkers i expect that that. Process of opening the polls is going to be super clunky and so im very concerned in 2 ways and then im also concerned that people just poll workers will not be able to get to the polls where theyre supposed to be working final thought from you hide in the sort of goes back to your 1st answer when you said that you felt that you know this was the time to serve your country in one way or another. Is there almost a sense of excitement about the day the fact that finally its coming the whole world is watching you i promise you that and that there is actually a great duty involved in the day. Yeah i mean i am not one to throw im not a liberal documentary filmmaker you know this ive never used the word patriot in my life or. You know having a duty to my country but i really feel like this is despite despite the wrists like i feel like this is the most important thing i will ever do in my life right now. I dont come from the car good on you its great to hear your story and to be able to talk to you about this 2 weeks to the election now and i do hope it all goes well for you on the day in new york thank you very much now still in the u. S. And its been revealed the u. S. Government cant find the parents of hundreds of Migrant Children in its custody courts documents the u. S.
