Also coming up the dangers of the misuse of antibiotics with bacteria killing more than half a 1000000 people every year are we losing the battle against the super bowl its. Good to have you with us we begin tonight with dramatic scenes in hong kong a group of protesters trying to escape the hong kongs Polytechnic University campus. That theyve been occupying for the past few days another large group of demonstrators has since left the campus following a 2 day siege by police threatening to use deadly force to get them out and in a separate development chinas ambassador to britain has warned that beijing has the power and the resolution to end the unrest which has gripped hong kong now for almost half a year. These students are ready to go home camped out at hong kongs Polytechnic University they are wary from increasingly violent clashes with police over the weekend. But having failed to dislodge the protesters for days the police are now preventing them from leaving. Exhausted because weve been up since 5 am yesterday were desperate because our supplies are running low. Anyone leaving the university risks arrest and a lengthy prison sentence the students are worried. You know. You can you can say. Theres. No way we can get out in the 1st they say. The previous night protesters set fire to the entrance of the university to stop the police from storm the campus and they showered petrol bombs on advancing vehicles. But when they tried to break through the Police Cordon on monday they were met with a hail of tear gas canisters and rubber bullets forcing them to retreat. The. Police arrested those that did not make it back into the building. How some protesters tried to run for it on a highway they have been blocking for the past week. Stuck inside the university the rest are replenishing their arsenal of molotov cocktails. With the police in no mood to compromise the situation remains volatile. You know and more of the activists have now managed to escape from that University Campus more now from correspondent charlotte. Well. There ill. Just. Try. The walking. Out. So ill. Be around. A while. That was charlotte shells until their reporting from hong kong heres some of the other stories that are making headlines around the world u. S. President donald trump says he is strongly considering testifying in his own impeachment investigation tweeted the announcement a day after a House Speaker nancy pelosi challenged him to appear before the committee to quote speak all the truth that he wants russia has handed back 3 naval ships that he captured last year from ukraine its the latest move to ease tensions between the 2 countries before a key summit takes place next month the handover took place off the coast of crimea hundreds of riot police in georgias capital tbilisi have used water cannon against antigovernment protesters outside the countrys Parliament Building it comes a day after demonstrators blocked the entrance to the Building People have returned to the streets after the ruling Georgian Dream party backtracked on promised Electoral Reform its. Venice is returning to normal after days of flooding calls damage running into hundreds of millions of euros but as the waters in the city recede other parts of northern italy are being swamped by torrential rain leaving entire villages cut off. The rains have stopped life is getting back to normal but in venice that means assessing the damage after 3 floods within a single week still the waters are receding from public squares and the taxis are working the canals. But its a different story in land flooded fields as far as the eye can see in central italy. And that field even a julia region rivers burst their banks flooding a key road and making access to cut off the ledge is difficult we feel as if we just came to the lake and now this if it goes on this way we wont have any prospects for the future. The situation was even more dire in a coastal town. City and the sewer fills up and overflows into drains. Floodwaters making even the most basic tasks much more difficult but pivoting with very limited as you can see when things like this happen were stuck at home like prison as has appeared on the. I mean the romagna in central italy was hard hit firefighters rescued stranded residents in boats and helicopters forecasters warned that more flooding could be on the way. While the leaders in iran are defending a hike in fuel prices which sparked days of rioting at least 3 people have been killed more than a 1000 arrested the government insists that the price rises are necessary to finance cash handouts for the poor the internet has been cut off and today the ayatollah accuse the United States of being behind the bar. Asked. The central bank in bay behind in flames police cars and a billboard of the ayatollah are also engulfed in blazes scenes of unrest and destruction in southwestern iran in the capital tehran demonstrators wish death on their supreme leader. The unrest has left many dead or wounded this footage was recorded on saturday before the government blocked the internet on monday came this statement from the commander of the bus each a militia loyal to the government and. I will mean that yesterday the situation was stable throughout the country today things are also under control most of the people behind the riots have been identified and arrested this time the americans did not have any success and they added another defeat to their tally recorded omission of. The United States has criticized the rainy and Security Forces for using violence against the protesters secretary of state mike pump a 0 posted in a tweet as i said to the people of iran almost a year and a half ago the United States is with you. Because of u. S. Sanctions irans oil trade has collapsed the government is short of funds and is trying to offset its losses by raising gasoline prices a payments are planned for 20000000 people a need a quarter of the population. The government has made this decision because it doesnt have any money now its taking money out of our pockets to plug the gaps here in iran hommage everything in iran is connected to petrol prices when they go up so defeated prices rent everything. Since the weekend iran has been cut off from the outside world that makes it difficult for the protesters to coordinate their rallies for the regime its an opportunity to suppress the protests without interference around 1000 people are said to have been arrested so far. And for more now we want to bring in the iranian activist author and journalist must see only need jobs she is in the United States but she has close contact with the people in iran and she joins me tonight from new york city mussy its good to have you on the program on your twitter account today you posted that video of an iranian woman removing her his job challenging irans rulers she publicly calls for the ayatollah to be executed. This this woman shes taking her own life into were directions by doing that would you say that this is a rare expression of opinion or is this something that is beginning to represent the majority of the people in iran. Let me tell you from the beginning this protest is beyond the job its beyond the fuel price increase the people who are actually taking to treat and protesting they are chanting against the whole clerics they are chanting against the Islamic Republic and this is actually the 1st kind of people who believe any hit job doesnt get even a job people who are you know religion number of agents working class middle class to gather and they are actually saying that we are fed up with these dummy republik which is a shocking right now its the level of violence against these people people are facing live bullets people are being killed in the streets of tehran and different cities across iraq. I mean those are claims that we are not able to verify partly because of this internet blackout in iran tell me how are you getting the information that youre getting about whats happening in the country. Now some of the people actually using universities why 5 which is not a lot some of them using the wife i of governmental institutions because a lot of people who even work for to these government they are unhappy. This has been the 1st time in our history 3 day the internet has shut down almost most of the country and that actually shows you the sign of the panic which the government are facing because they are now scared all these people that because they are out of control and they cannot control them so the videos that you receive actually showing that more than 100 people got killed more than a 1000 people got arrested and this is turning into the level of violence seen heat of cobra november 1978 during the last month of the shah when the military try to impose order based on reports from inside iran and the videos that i have been receiving and you know people actually from different cities around town taking to this treaty actually saying that we want the rest of the war to hear us we are like hostage in iraq so we are like prisoners in iraq so it sounds like youre what youre describing is the conditions for yet another revolution i mean today we had the revolutionary guard warning that if the unrest does not stop Decisive Action will be taken so there you have the threat right there for military crackdown are you saying that we are looking at the beginnings of another revolution in iraq. To me it is just the beginning of another revolution because i know these people from working class middle class they have to try get a chance to reform this government this regime and it didnt work look at what jobs are eat and president rouhani has been saying to the rest of the war calling here on an island of is the ability but you run is not right now is suffering from economy you know pressure iran is suffering from so should not have laughed at social freedom these government who do not allow people to dance to seeing to choose their own like a style to walk industry to freely and choose what they want to wear this government never allow people to protest peacefully jabot said it was using twitter and saying that johns ideas are foreign minister. Iranian people have the right to vote and have the right to protest when my south pole look yes or no as you know that youre in the United States and you know that for a long time it has been u. S. Policy that pressure now under president maximum pressure on iran will eventually lead to a regime change from within and are you saying then that the policy that the u. S. Has pursued is now beginning to bear fruit. Let me tell you something this is the behavior of the government leading people to you know i asking for revolution for having regime change this is the crux in iran not just the maximum pressure from outside and im not saying that given the fact but let me tell you something when the iran deal happened people took to the street on set every can get deep but the same people were asking for another view which was human rights so after the deal the government to spend the money in jaffa in syria in lebanon and that is why actually the main is still going in the streets right now people are chanting and angry then telling the government that do not to spend the money in the middle east we are suffering from not having bread not having electricity not having grown equal to not having being paid our salaries for months and months but what we need from the United States and the rest of the world especially the e. U. Make this government discuss this papers accountable because theyre killing the people they dont allow the journalists to report about the that the violence we dont need and for from present our state directly from chaos we have an action we need to even join the united estate yes unfortunately were out of time but we appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts with this your passion and thoughts about the Current Situation in iran a must see on the judge joining us tonight from new york city when we thank you thank you for having me or researchers have been warning for years about the rise of superbugs antibiotic resistant bacteria despite this the danger is higher than ever but this is the start of the World Health Organizations world antibiotic Awareness Week heres a look at the threat posed by super bugs 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 acquire 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 at our disposal and research and antibiotics hasnt advance nearly as much as in other fields of medical research big pharma is interest in 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 them. For more now im joined by dr tim munns from the robert caulk institute here in berlin he heads a unit that researches antibiotic resistance buggers good to have you on the show so why are we seeing this resistance is it because when we go to the doctor the doctor is just just too willing to prescribe us an antibiotic yet says one weazened several reasons and into it in different settings for somebody in. High Income Countries this is is one of the reason high Income Countries to much describing of and to be addicts thats. Whos to underbid it was distance but if you have a global look this is different for example in poor countries in low Income Countries there is not so much too much use of antibiotics its more wrong use and all the other things like no toilet and no good houses doesnt it what about the wrong use because we hear from the doctors that if we are prescribed an antibiotic we should take it all the way through to the end even if were feeling better but a lot of people dont do that right so theyre not really killing the bacteria completely is that is that what is happening yes this is there are new research on this that sometimes say is perhaps its not necessary to take so long for example years ago folk pneumonia we said 10 days then it was 7 days now we are in 5 days only 5 days in the morning is that its enough so this is not so much a problem of course you have to take the under biotics as long as the doctors tell you and not stop it yourself are we running out of by antibiotics no i think we are we are away from the past under biotic times but but we have to be very much aware because resistance is rising in many countries and in many parts of the world and we have to use antibiotics which we have in a wise way which is very important really take them only if the doctor is describing and and you have to know that it is of not necessary because most infections viral by when you go to the doctor and if you have the global view you have we have to support other countries with the Health System if you have a good whole Health System you use it in a better way than to be and what about the drug makers the pharmaceutical companies are they doing enough to come up with new medications to replace these. And biopics no i think that they dont do enough there they have no interest because they conned so much money was under biotics was as was a job tracks and but but we have to understand that anyway and new to access are just to postpone the problem with under be adequate systems we have 2 new antibiotics only a what a small piece for the whole broad and much more important i think at the moment is you with these traps which we have in a better way in the animal in the human side and all the others beat to a good Infection Control and new under biotics and in that moment of candor we lie on the document do you think that we can rely on peoples to people to do that because you cant control the entire population and there are so many people is there another option is there is there something that goes beyond trying to use antibiotics to treat bacterial infections has nothing in view in the next 10 years their research is working on Different Things but not a reason we have nothing else we need for medicine how we do it today and absolutely necessarily need to be any dr jim edwins with the robert costa institute with the latest on you know bacteria and biopics in resistant structure things we think you think you. Are going to south america thousands of protesters in chile are stepping up their demands for a new constitution and for the resignation of president Sebastian Pinera many have suffered serious injuries in recent antigovernment demonstrations they accuse the police of brutality and aiming rubber bullets at their heads president pinera says any excessive use of force will be investigated.
