Atmosphere free of violence. Good evening and welcome this is r. T. International. Recently unsealed Court Documents reveal that Purdue Pharma conspired to aggressively push its opioid painkillers screenshots of email correspondence published in a multi district opioid lawsuit that led to accusations the giant corporation caused americas biggest drug epidemic the company is also accused of downplaying the risks of addiction thats led to doctors prescribing its pills to patients even with only minor pain for the details hes killing more than. The usa is in the midst of an ongoing Opioid Epidemic. Of 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 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 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 that 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 allergies or drugs out there and try to come together as a sort of 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 its very clear that Purdue Pharma and other manufacturers from very early on were interested in one thing that was their bottom line they were really indifference to the well being of patients who would actually be taking the opioids that they were peddling in 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 responsible 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 pain killers for minor in chronic pain conditions which ultimately gave way to the current epidemic of opioid addiction an overdose death we have us to do film if a common time will bring you and your response. But she is of it up in hong kong where people took to the streets despite a planned protest having being banned by the authorities the fear of renewed violence sparked the ban though thousands started to march peacefully earlier today through the city center to the rest later broke out with police resorting to water cannon infused with blue dye of demonstrators hill petrol bombs. Was. I. I i i i. Was. I. Police warned that anyone taking part in saturdays action could face prosecution us president of the trump commented on the current tensions between hong kong and china saying the anti beijing protests should be handled in a humane fashion. I think if it werent for the trade. Hong kong would be in much bigger trouble i think it would have been much for balance i really believe john 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. In a humane fashion the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs has expressed its discontent with the white house showing empathy with what it calls radicalized protesters on friday 2 more protest leaders were arrested on suspicion of organizing unauthorized release but were released on bail one of them roast to prominence 5 years ago when the Umbrella Movement protests. Was was. Was. The. Moment of how democrats. Joshua blank who we just saw that is one of the leaders of the current protests but apparently he learned the art of protest not just that demonstrations 5 years ago in a potential explains. Hes only 22. 00 but hes already backed himself at least a few lines in the history books joshua wall 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 and thats. Going 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 the 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 u. S. 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 wall 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 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. 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 wall and co today hes calm for the 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 specialist andre lunk who says that the unrest in hong kong is being stirred up by external like this. This been reports of some of these voters this the middle of the train or slow Freedom Forum. Which of course is involved in a lot of these theres a world trade in whole trading ready on tactics of some of. The establishment the socalled civil disobedience act its so i think that and also that of funds. Is supported by where is the International Organizations including the National Endowment for democracy of the United States of course you know as they say as a country and this organization as an ngo support democracy is round the world but on the other hand is to link the rectally. Kind of inputs but only had it was the old al that the militants are highly trained to look at the way that their formation and the violin and also policy in those of the ministers and so on. Ok i can bring you a breaking news story coming out of the u. S. State of texas where theres now an active manhunt for 2 shooters in the cities of adesa the middle and one of the suspects is believed to have opened fire from a Vehicle Police saying at the moment that at least 30 people have been shot 20 of the victims reportedly in a desert with another 10 in midland and multiple victims shot a said to include at least one Police Officer president has been briefed on the situation we will update you on this story as we get more information. Pakistans Prime Ministers warned about a looming direct military confrontation with india over kashmir and demonstrations in islamabad on friday iran can urge the world to address the issue in order to avoid a catastrophic war. 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 of was. 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 is a disputed territory the socalled line of control remains the defacto border and kashmir maintains its own administration however earlier this month india revoked his special ptolemy status on friday the Indian Foreign minister said that the country would be willing to enter into talks with pakistan but only in an atmosphere that was free of terror and violence the un prohibits changes to any disputed territory so safe it kashmir is muslim majority population to 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. For more perspective of a drama islamabad based expert on political in just a teacher and a sphere and professor from the school of international affairs. You know even in round. All secretary of the Prime Ministers Office has been trying to do the country don electricity because it did not include their news so all i think this you know are many of these trips and warnings are mainly alarmist in nature and are intended to provoke International Intervention when one of the obvious imran khan published was in the New York Times so clearly hes aiming at the western. Liberal establishment and possibly even to again reading each person donald trump is believed to have negotiations and not the not the you know the the gun gets ahead and thats the emotional blackmail so i think the illusional an argument of our concern is not meaning many of. The viewpoints more divided and the need to look at it rationally in the moment the reader i think well know much more and a gradual anonymization of the situation should mean indeed part of the region has been under cover for its market lost one month people are dying of starvation because of necker medicine nearly 100000 but a 1000000000 about only drops out of their back to flex that india are washing use every conceivable mattered to suppress this uprising i think what is a likely scenario is that this will not only do they got to do is going to be lifted india will have to lift theyre going to close to one month now and remember back to the christmas lifter that means more tragic stories that we are you will come to know the scale of the operation the number of the people who have who have died in these and the number of the people who have been illegally detained by the Indian Security forces. U. S. Democratic president ial hopeful joe biden has been out making his case as to why he should get his partys nomination some of the stories hes been telling while campaigning about when he was in afghanistan have turned out to be not entirely true and not for the 1st time. Guns may be kept up in the mountains in colorado around 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 want to me to pin the silver star on. I love this place i would look whats not to like about them on terms of the beauty of it and what a neat town to. Watch with populace can support can come up to seem the last Vice President they won the war that in some some you covered. International leaders spoke about you had people like margaret that are skilled you had people like the bits i know every one of these leaders except i dont know the new Prime Minister of a of of england he looks like down trump i dont know i for kids are just as brady just as tallis white kids and saying time fantasies of things hes been my friend. Newly revealed emails show chemical John Monsanto sold to discredit criticism of one of its products linked to cancer or not after the break. Global insurrection goes back or occupation we started that really before occupy wall street before the revolution in cairo before obviously this year in france or the protests and theyre all connected all these protests are connected theyre all connected to a rebellion against we have money and banks are all global and structure is bankrupt. When it comes down to it it is no 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 of 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 approach you is to come up with cheap russian bashing that helps. You released emails reveal how chemical John Monsanto attempted to discredit an action group campaigning against its weed killer moms of course about records raised the alarm about the use of one of the companys leading products around 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. Turn to the thing the action group sent an open letter to monsantos top management calling on them to stop selling g m o seeds and spraying crops with life estate another post decides on a course 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 in. What theyve gone the extra mile and gotten pesticide testing done their packaging might even be bio degradable fairtrade 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 each 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 ringback out there to continue speaking up and to go to moms across america dot org and find out more about our old standard that will be launching next month and its not just moms across america this been targeted by monsanto documents reveal the company also operated a socalled Intelligence Fusion Center with the aim to monitor and discredit critics who claim that life is the main ingredient in monsantos we kill is extremely dangerous to human health but i have a safe thats beside and top drying agent after it sprayed on to crops it ends up on food in the air and water and several lawsuits monsantos glaive say base product was even wrong to have caused cancer but the Company States as part of his safety zone and has appealed against those verdicts moms across americas director here again told 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 go into the hands of regulation into the hands of these companies they are they are proposing to allow g. M. O. Companies to dish sellers determine whether or not their products are safe or not and so as a mother just as it made any sense to me at all that the mentality of these types were the type of people will have control over whether or not our food supply is safe thats extremely disturbing to me and must not happen and all our government must regulate g. M. O. Is 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. Indonesia will be moving its capital away from to qantas to a new location on the island of borneo which is the largest in asia indonesian government plans to begin relocating the capital from 2024 in the move prompted by jakartas going environmental challenges.
