Good evening and welcome you watching our International Well 1st this hour we have news from the french city of leone where one man has been killed and 9 other people wounded in a stabbing attack on a train one suspect has been arrested while police say they are still looking for another according to reports the assailants attacked at random they said not yet said whether they believe the incident was a terrorist attack well keep you updated on this story. Recently unsealed Court Documents reveal that spur do pharma conspired to aggressively push its opioid painkillers screenshots of email correspondence published in a multi district opioid lawsuit led to accusations the giant corporation called americas biggest drug epidemic the company is also accused of downplaying the risks of addiction this led to doctors prescribing its pills the patients even if they only had minor pain for the details is killing more. The usa is in the midst of an ongoing Opioid Epidemic. In 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 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 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 its very clear that purview pharma and other manufactures from very early on were interested in one thing and 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 be 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 of pain killers that led 1st and foremost to an epidemic of overprescribing pain killers for minor and chronic pain conditions which ultimately gave way to the current epidemic of opiate addiction and overdose death. We have asked Purdue Pharma for comment offering any response when it comes in.

Found the started marching peacefully early on saturday through the city center however and resprayed coutts with police resorting to tear gas and water cannon infused with blue dye of fires was started in the streets official reason for the protest ban is the violence thats been seen at previous demonstrations in the past weeks and months.

President donald trump has commented on the current tensions between hong kong and china saying the anti beijing protests should be handled any quote humane fashion. I think of a word for the trade. Hong kong would be a much bigger job i think it would have been much more violent i really believe china 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. It is a humane fashion the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs expressed this discontent with the white house for showing empathy with what it calls radicalized protest this friday 2 more protest leaders were arrested on suspicion of organizing an authorized release but were released on bail one of them roast to prominence 5 years ago during the movement protests.

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 organization or individual has the right to intervene however some of the protest skills George Szell Wong and his fellow activists have up their sleeves were picked up from abroad in the build up to the 2014 hong kong uprising the folks from the socalled 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 he spoke to china specialist andre lung who says that the unrest in hong kong is being stirred up by external activists. Distin report of the sun is the business of the military is a big trade in the or slow freedom for. Which of course is involved in a lot of these though theres a world of trading whole trading is this on the tactics of some of. The establishment the socalled civil disobedience act its so i think that and also the ones. Supported by International Organizations including the National Endowment for democracy of the United States of course you know as they say the country and this organization is an ngo the you support the bosses around the world but on the other hand is to link the rectally. This kind of inputs but only had those though doubt that the militants are highly trained to look at the way that the formation of the violin and also policy in those of the ministers and so on. Due to release females reveal how chemical giant monsanto attempted to discredit an action group campaigning against its weed killer moms across america had raised the alarm about the use of one of the companys leading products called roundup thats your enemy 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 2013 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 or satan of the pesticides moms across 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 and non g. M. O. But theyve gone the extra mile and gotten some pesticide testing done their packaging might even be bio degradable fair trade is used to mainly 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. Its not just moms across america being targeted by monsanto documents revealed the company also operated a socalled Intelligence Fusion Center so it was to monitor and discredit critics who claim that the main ingredient of monsantos weed killer is extremely dangerous to human health glad to say its a herbicide and crop drying agent and its sprayed on crops and then ends up in food in the air and tap water as well in several lawsuits monsanto has got a profit was ruled to have actually caused cancer but the Company States its product is safe to use and its appealed against those verdicts moms across americas director going 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 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 as it make any sense to me at all that immense how are these tastes were people will have control over whether or not our supply is safe thats extremely disturbing to me and must not happen in our government must regulate g. M. O. Those 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.
