Independent reports book that figure much higher. Class with multi resistant bacteria killing more than half a 1000000 people globally. Losing the battle against superbugs. Last britains brutal can only legacy in the 2 plantations of the way some of the surviving workers now and then ninetys was still traumatized by what they endured and when their land was. Taken back to the United Nations. This is the end to the tense standoff at a University Campus in hong kong after students barricaded themselves inside during antigovernment protests the events are unfolding in the heart of hong kong at the Polytechnic University some students attempted to flee with police appear to trap them inside the university by firing on them with tear gas and rubber bullets about 800. 00 protesters gathered on the campus some of them carrying homemade weapons including petrol bombs police threatened to use live ammunition if they feared to lay down their weapons. On the charlatans impale is keeping track of those developments and joins me now to tell us 1st tell me where you are and whats happening around you. A merry time outside the university at the moment where hundreds of students still said to be holed up now its calm where we are now but a short time ago the building behind me the university there was a huge fire we know as well we saw images of protesters trying to escape that building by running across the overpass just across that weve seen extremely violent images of protests who are trying to escape the university being captured by Police Images on social media showing them being dragged across the floor as they are detained the tensions here are extremely high at the moment with more protests planned into the evening as it starts to get dark we are expecting more violence more takeouts here on the streets of hong kong and show we had some very dramatic footage from what happened last night before we continue our conversation lets have a look at those pictures. Police moving. The protests are set the entrance to Hong Kong Polytechnic University a place forcing them to retreat. The police made some arrests. And some students were injured. Despite the dramatic and disturbing images the night passed with large serious bloodshed something many had feared over the weekend it remained a fiery stalemate hundreds of students inside the University Presses the police. The protesters using a host of weapons including molotov cocktails sling shots. And even bows and arrows to keep the police at bay the students are determined. Just as a war is more wars result. Ive already written my will. But i trust that my fellow students will keep the protests going. Many of us here are exhausted just like i am. I was sprayed by water cannon and i just so very painful but i keep going home to. Hong kong authorities and the university called for an end to the confrontation confort deescalation. But the situation remains tense. The protests which have become a broadly antti government and Police Violence movement have been raging for 5 months now and. People in hong kong are split on the matter but many continue to support the predominantly student led protests it all started with protesters wanting to safeguard hong kongs autonomy but beijing showing no sign of changing its stance towards the territory. So tensions running very high as you can see shall it it seems that he will colleague a lot is a building that was caught up in that situation at the campus and the only managed to get out this morning what did he say to you. Thats right mathias and several other colleagues who were reporting on the standoff last night did spend the night in the University Campus just behind me on able to leave he said he was eventually permitted to leave the university in the early hours of this morning but he said Police Ordered him and then fellow journalists to find out one by one he said he had 2 races on in the air as he was leaving one officer in fact it pointing his weapon at mathias as he was leaving the university that bags searched as well. This is something that we are seeing more and more as the violence increases here in hong kong there is a lot of pressure on the journalists reporting reporting this situation and of course their safety now is being called into question when will this be a court ruling which is given somewhat of a boost to the protesters whats that about. Thats why there was something of a surprise ruling today the high court here in hong kong decided that it was unconstitutional face small span thats been imposed by austerity here since october that was designed to try and quell the protests so many people have been taking to the streets where in malls to protect them from the tear gas or to hide their identities of thirtys thought that might by banning the face mask they would really be able to crackdown on the number of people taking to the street in fact that didnt see almost had the opposite effect many people coming out to protest against the face month ban and the emergency regulations that it was imposed through now though the court decided it was unconstitutional and police here have said that they will abide by that no longer be charging people with that emergency regulation but the atmosphere at the moment from what youre saying is very charged in hong kong this evening with china giving increasingly stern warnings where do you see this going. Thats the question and so many people have been asking so many months now we are more than 5 months into this protest movement a lot of people they are deeply concerned by a Statement Issued by Police Last Night warning that they would use live ammunition if protesters did not put down their weapons that is something that is really sent shock waves through the protest movement here real concern about Police Following through with that threat we know that a number of people were posting their last words on social media last night those who were trapped inside the university real concern that this could become a life or death matter for so many of the protesters here that is something that theyre going to be very aware of Going Forward will we see more live ammunition live bullets on the streets of hong kong seana children bill in hong kong thank you very much for being us up to date on the situation there. Turning now to iran where its hard to set least 3 people are dead after violent protests against a dramatic increase in fuel prices other reports indicate the figure could be much higher irans Supreme Leader has given his backing to the price hike saying its for financing social welfare programs and the Iranian Foreign ministry strongly condemned u. S. Support for the demonstrators calling it interventionist. From causing gridlock on the streets. To taking out their anger on cars petrol stations and even banks. Protesters in iran leaving little doubt how they feel about the hike in petrol prices demonstrations that began late last week of taking on a violent age or storage fees reported some deaths many fear the real number there was likely to be higher irans Supreme Leader is unmoved standing by the fuel rise in branding the protestors who look at. Them as a bank on fire its not done by the people this is what dogs do. The movie is in part a response to the failing economy as a result of u. S. Sanctions iran says the money raised will be used to help the poor those on the street see it differently. The government has made this decision because it doesnt have any money now its taking money out of our pockets to plug the gaps on everything in iran is connected to petrol prices go up so to food prices simply everything the u. S. Has also waded in signaling support for the protesters and criticizing a shutdown of the internet as authorities in iran try to wrest back control of a volatile situation. Im joined now like on dan lothian from the university of sussex he focuses on International Relations little do you know hes seeing very angry demonstrations over the weekend how significant is this protest action. Yes i would like to start by just saying that the number of actually killed in this protest at the moment stands at 3922 of which is confirmed with names and details this is based on reports from this network of journalists in the pend and journalists inside and outside iran so the number you are journalists gave i suppose its based on state Iranian State media but its really much higher and the number of killed and injured are particularly high in kurdish regions of iran where the crackdown has been particularly severe police using sniper from rooftops obvious to sions and police stations shooting at people so. In terms of the significance well i mean it comes this latest wave comes roughly one year after some of the protests last around a year ago in winter as well and its particular widespread its seems to be spontaneous there is no. Organization behind it which makes it a bit more difficult for the authorities to suppress it given that people basically take initiative of their own and this time around they seem to have learned from whats going on in lebanon and iraq and elsewhere they barricade streets basically turn off their cars in the middle of streets set up barriers and so on to prevent Security Forces to come to attack them so in terms of these protests just a matter of given the scale of these filters that you seem to suggest a much bigger than what the official state media is saying. Can we expect some kind of a crackdown because the Supreme Leader ayatollah come in a has condemned these protests and even the president has some hollywood one that the country cannot allow this kind of insecure teacher crack to carry on. Well i mean this is the this is typical approach by the state throughout these recent years from the 2009. 104 that until now. The response of the government is really crackdown immediate crackdown and the suppression and crackdown did begin from the very early on it wasnt following harmonys intervention but following his intervention now the Political Office of. Islamic revolution god calls i r g c has issued a statement yesterday saying that they will actually intensify and take a harsher approach following what he said so i think. The governments stance is that you know that it has to be stopped at any cost because their experience from what happened in syria and elsewhere is that the moment the protesters gain some sort of victory then it has a kind of domino effect and if it it will be difficult to stop it so afraid the while its will only increase from the from the security authorities come down martin thank you very much fear and this is you are at the university of sussex thank you very much. Thank you. Let me have a yuppie did with some other stories making news around the world she learned because a new president performed a controversial sparing in ceremony that could threaten to further divide the country got there by adage of paxson held his inauguration in a book this trying to verify his single is a buddhist honor as he credited his victory to his buddhist a voter base but said he will work for or she duncans. Chiles president Sebastian Pinera has admitted that police use Excessive Force against protesters its the 1st time hes criticized Police Brutality since antigovernment demonstrations began a month ago more than 20 people have been killed and thousands injured in the clashes. At least one person has died after a bridge fell into the town revert near the town of made apply in france looking rescue services at the scene where a car on a truck vanished into the water 9 people are thought to have been involved in the accident. Youre watching the news coming up ahead the creation of britains. Streets in kenya also thousands of people driven from their homes those victims are looking for compensation and are taking their case to the United Nations. And intent is to see its crowned the final. 21. But 1st for years now researchers have been sounding the alarm about superbugs and thats the name given to bacteria that are resistant to antibiotics of these superbugs are Getting Better and better off the effects of medication. Organization kicks off its antibiotics a brand this week we take a look at a problem but Scientists Say poses a huge threat to Global Health and development. Before the mid 20th century contracting a bacterial infection could easily kill you the age of antibiotics was ushered in by Alexander Fleming who discovered penicillin back in the late 1920 s. And was later awarded the nobel prize for his work antibiotics at the scene for a paradigm shift in medicine theyve saved countless lives but bacteria evolve and a few of them always survive the encounter with the medicine pathogens eventually acquired resistance 1st to one then to more and more antibiotics then they multiply and pass it on they can even share their resistance with other microbes some multi resistant super bugs are no impervious to practically the entire arsenal of antibiotics that are disposal. And research on antibiotics has advanced nearly as much as in other fields of medical research big pharma is interest and them evaporated around 20 new major classes of antimicrobials were discovered between the 1940 s. And sixtys but over the last 60 years just 2 new classes of the drugs have been approved. Meanwhile the problem of multi resistance has grown increasingly acute experts estimate multi resistant pathogens killed around 700000. 00 people worldwide last year but theres still no comprehensive global plan for dealing with on. The science correspondent equip them so now joins me in the studio welcome denis thats a huge gamble almost 3 quarters of a 1000000 People Killed by jones resistance to antibiotics last have alone whats driving this increase well there are a couple of Different Things as we saw all germs will eventually become resistant to antibiotics thats the nature of evolution but where were accelerating this evolution in a couple of different ways 1st of all. One of the big problems is over prescription of the antibiotics that we have weve been prescribing some of these drugs for 60 years now and often were prescribing them in situations where theyre not medically necessary all of us have taken courses of antibiotics particularly in the seventys eightys ninetys before this became a big problem that werent really necessary the doctor you would go to the doctor with an infection in your throat the doctor would say we dont know if its a virus which isnt affected by an antibiotic where bacteria were going to go ahead and give you antibiotics anyway its estimated that about a 3rd of all prescriptions are completely unnecessary and they are accelerating the evolution of these bugs the other aspect of it is in intensive animal farming now often the only way to really create a sustainable added miss fear within these massive farms that they have with within the livestock industry is is to preempt any possible medical problems by feeding the animals prophylactic plague and of course by doing that youre also speeding up the evolution of the bugs that cause these diseases because youre putting them in the sort of hothouse environment where theyre forced to evolve ok so youre giving actually antibiotics to animals as well as what youre saying which is getting into the food chain now another issue that you mentioned in your report was that in the boss 60 years the pharmaceutical industry has hardly come up with any major new drugs in terms of this what lies behind that slowdown well this is actually one of the most interesting aspects of this debate for me i mean you would think that it would be kind of a no brainer something thats so vital to our actual in the to medicine that you would think that it would be actually very profitable as well but unfortunately antibiotics are drugs that that in a best Case Scenario youre only going to be taking for 10 days to 2 weeks and then youre done the core of the problem is that its incredibly expensive to develop new drugs the the industry says it cost 2500000000. 00 per drug just to develop a new drug so they want to recruit that investment and if with antibiotics because its. Short term treatment its not going to give them the chance to recoup that investment and development now the the thing is is that this is such a vital aspect that governments have gotten involved separately governments have gotten involved with public and private partnerships trying to kick started but the Business Model actually in the pharmaceutical industry is broken when it comes to antibiotics and we really need to fix it because this is a very very pressing problem and given it is such a pressing problem dead equiv lot of the implications for humankind if we dont take urgent action on this you dont even want to think about a post antibiotic world i mean if as as i said in my piece if you look at the pre antibiotic world used to be that you could get harmed infections that we would think of nowadays as harmless and they would kill you thats happening more and more with these multi resistant bugs 700000 People Killed last year now by these these diseases these conditions that couldnt be treated that a few decades ago would have been easily treated with antibiotics so it is a very very major problem the thing is though that i dont want to end and say on it on a dark note there are drugs in the pipelines we are doing something but we need to desperately raise awareness and this is and make people aware of the urgency of this global problem Derek Williams thank you very much for all that information on that day pressing issue as you described it. Thousands of kenyans who say they were driven from their homes under British Colonial rule are demanding compensation and have taken their case to the United Nations the litigants say theyre the victims of systematic Violent Crimes designed to displace them did other travelers to get each of which is known as kenyas capital.
