Good afternoon youre watching r. T. International Court Documents reveal that a Big Pharma Company conspired to aggressively push its opioid painkillers this is led to accusations that 30 pharma caused americas biggest drug epidemic well the company has also accused of damn playing the risk of addiction this lead to doctors prescribing its pills to patients even with only minor pains as more. The usa is in the midst of an ongoing Opioid Epidemic. With the. In response to the Opioid Epidemic 48 different us states have taken action against produce 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 purdie farmer 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 that people and communities affected by the opiate crisis need help now now its certainly commendable the focus on helping victims rather than simply avoiding blame whats a 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 buying 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 we pound up with the trajectory of the Pain Movement and these organizations works to convince the us public that pain 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 try to come together as a sort of the hes if recognizing that your particular drug has been recently identified in the newspapers as a drug issue the Pain Awareness 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 is clear that purdue farmer 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 pilate manufacturers played a major role in the current american hope you would have to demick they were not the sole and to do responsibly for the epidemic but without their involvement 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 overprescribing painkillers for minor and chronic pain conditions which ultimately gave way to the curb appeal the current to epidemic of opioid addiction and overdose death but we did ask pretty pharma to comment on this story although so far we havent received a response that its not just per day this thing accused of prioritizing profits over Peoples Health later on in our planet and we look at how the chemical giant monsanto has been trying to discredit its critics. Like i was showing you some pictures now out from hong kong where protests have erupted there after people to. To the streets thats a sprite a planned protest having been banned there by the authorities. I. Think i was and started marching peacefully yearly today through the city center however unrest did break out with police resorting to tear gas and also water cannon while fires were started almost streets you fish or reason for the protest badness the violence thats been seen at previous demonstrations in the past weeks and months so police are warned that anybody taking part in todays action may face prosecution u. S. President donald trump meanwhile has commented on the current tensions between hong kong and china saying that the anti beijing protests should be handled in a humane fashion. I think if it werent for the drake. Song john would be a much bigger drop i think it would have been but for a ballad i really believe john wants to make a deal and they know it puts us in a very bad position if this is not a way of handling the problems and id let him know that. Well the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs has expressed its discontent with the white house for sharing empathy with what he calls radicalized protesters on friday to move process leaders were arrested on suspicion of organizing unauthorized rallies but were released on bail one of them rise to prominence 5 years ago during the Umbrella Movement private sector.

S. Consul general the activist said he thought theres no big deal about it but 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 would you that we are strongly dissatisfied and firmly opposed to 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 organisation or individual has the right to intervene however some of the protest skills George Szell Wong and his fellow activists have up. Theres leaves were picked up from abroad in the build up to the 2014 hong kong uprising the folks from the socalled owes 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. The prank that we spoke to china especially sandra long who says that the unrest in hong kong is being stirred up by external actors this in reports of the soul is the business of the military is that the trade in the or slow Freedom Forum. In which of course is in war with a lot of these builders around the World Trading whole trading ready on tactics all. The establishment the socalled civil disobedience act its so i think that theres also the ones. Supported by International Organizations including the National Endowment for democracy of the United States of course you know as this is a democratic country and this organization so there is you know the use of all the bosses around the world but on the other hand is to link the rectally this kind of inputs that all they had was the old out there the militants are highly trained to look at the way that their formation of bone in and also policy in those of the ministers and so on. Now with the president ial race in full swing in argentina some do appear to be resorting to bribery to ensure the result they want because 2 leading business man reportedly announce that they would pay their workers 5000 dollars each if current president richer machree succeeds in reaching the 2nd round of the elections one of the pair is also a lawmaker for crees ruling party well it follows a landslide victory by Opposition Leader albert if a man days in the 1st round of the eggs in the current arch in time leader he was seeking reelection lost by a far greater margin than expected however he is still well ahead of the 3rd place candid now whoever wins argentinas president ial election will have a tough job on their hands as the country looks to be on the verge of defaulting on its debt. If we are talking about at the crack of marc receipt thats not legitimate to do it youre buying a person stuff and that youre buying a persons decision thats why im a critic reduced to its not only democratic but also. Its a legitimate is it involves a lot of. Anti Democratic Values doing this the way that theyre doing it is this just shows the separation and preoccupation of their own political stance and economic stance today makris. Approach to the economy theyre resold sub hes near liberal policies have damaged the country itself the levels of unemployment and the levels of inflation i mean the play sion and the quality of life in you know didnt he now have gone down. Meanwhile the 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 while campaigning about when he was in afghanistan have turned out to be false entirely true and not for the 1st time. Young navy captain up on the mountain for kolarov around in afghanistan one of his buddies got shot fell down a ravine the sky climbed down or a green card this guy up on his back under fire general wanted me to pin the silver star on. I love this place i would look whats not to like some of them on terms of the beauty of it and want to leave town. To.

International leaders spoke about you had people like margaret that high school you had people like the pitch i know every one of these leaders except i dont know the new Prime Minister oh book of of england he looks like donald trump i dont know. 4 kids are just as crazy just as tallis white kids finances and time certain issues of saying shes been my friend. And watching out International Back with more stories just awful. Theres things. Here that. 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 theyre all absolutely things that the west needs to be doing and what i would like to say is much much less. Counterproductive rhetorical struggles we see against russia that its you know its its become an easy way of getting certain the audiences to applaud you is to come up with cheap russian bashing that helps. Welcome back the newly released emails from feel have you chemical john one son to attend to to discredit an action create campaigning against its way to kill or arms across america have raised the alarm about the use of one of the companys leading products called roundup. Thats your enemy beat the shit out of them and put them on the defensive and you wont 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. Well in 2013 the action group sent an open letter to monsantos top management calling on them to stop selling g m a season spraying crops with lye phosphate and other pesticides bombs across americas directs us 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 their 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 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 name the 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 but it isnt just moms across america its been targeted by monsanto documents or to reveal the company also operated a socalled Intelligence Fusion Center saying it was to monitor and discredit critics who claim that life is saved the main ingredient in monsantos weed killer is extremely dangerous to human health well it is a herbicide and crop drying agent after it is sprayed on crops though it can end up in food air and also tap water now several lawsuits monsantos life say based products route to of course cancer however the Company States that his product is safe to use and does not course cancer and its appealed against those verdicts bombs across americas director again told us 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 immense how well you know these types of people will have control over whether or not our supply is safe thats extremely disturbing to me and must not happen at all our government must regulate g m os 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. Commemorations for the 88th anniversary of the beginning of world war 2 get underway on sunday in this part of the us a torch lit in the terminal flame of the tomb of the unknown soldier in Moscows Kremlin is being delivered to some of the capital of the torch will be transported on a Russian Defense ministry plane and it will be used to lighten the moral built in honor of russian and soviet soldiers who died in slovenia during the 1st and 2nd world wars the ceremonies have been it is meant to serve as a reminder of the soviet union throw in the liberation of europe and also from nazi germany.

A paradise with some or all year round turned into a round the experimentation field for cultural chemicals we know that these chemicals have cant. Quinces they are major irritants theres no question otherwise why would that the Chemical Company workers themselves be geared up that suited up locals attempt to combat the on regulated experiments that often in day and you have many of these people who have one foot into the biotech pharma and the other foot in the government regulatory bodies this kind of collusion is reprehensible while the battle goes on the chemicals continue to poison hawaii and its people so one has to ask the question whether there is a form of Environmental Research going on in hawaii whether these Companies Feel they can get away with this because the people have less political power. Said she stressed to us take this or that to buy gas at the bill of budget at that. Time. Stop question was so i could see then taste a taste it is easy to see why which is what i.
