Very good evening to you youre watching our international. Recently unsealed Court Documents reveal that purdue farmer conspired to aggressively push its opioid painkillers screenshots of email correspondence published in a multi district lawsuit that led to accusations the giant corporation caused americas biggest drug epidemic companies also accused of downplaying the risks of addiction this is led to doctors prescribing its pills to patients even when they only had minor pain the further details his arteries kaleb more. 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 the 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 be boned 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 algys of drugs out there and trying 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 purview pharma and other manufacturers 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 poorly 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 fall 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 and chronic pain conditions which ultimately gave way to the current epidemic of opioid addiction an overdose death we have us produce on the full commons we await that response. Moving on in clashes have erupted in hong kong where people took to the streets despite a planned protest having being bound by the authorities. The thousands started marching peacefully early on saturday through the city center but unrest broke out with police resorting to tear gas and water cannon infused with blue dye while fires were started on the streets official reason for the protest ban is the violence thats been seen at previous demonstrations in the past weeks and months. Police of more than anyone taking part in saturdays action could face prosecution u. S. President donald 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 a much bigger job i think it would have been much more 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 new way of handling the problems and id let them know that. It is a humane fashion the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs has expressed this discontent with the white house for showing empathy with what it calls radicalized protest this friday to more protest leaders were arrested on suspicion of organizing unauthorized rallies but were released on bail one of them rose to prominence 5 years ago during the Umbrella Movement protests. Was. I. We will continue. No matter how democrats. Which we just saw there is one of the leaders of the current protests but apparently he learned the art of protest not just at the demonstrations of 5 years ago in a bit trying to explain its. 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 has 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 off now on the phone is prodemocracy activists from Hong Kong Joshua wa he was an independent inquiry into police abuse youve been very critical of 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 that 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 the 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. We spoke to china specialist andre learned who says that the unrest in hong kong is being stirred up by external lexus. This been reports of some of these voters theres the middle of the train in the or slow Freedom Forum. Which of course is in war in a lot of these around the World Trading whole trading ready on the tactics of some. And the establishment the socalled civil disobedience act its so i think that and also that our funds. Are supported by where is International Organizations including the National Endowment for democracy of the United States of course you know as they say as a democratic country and this organization as an ngo at the support they bought the seas around the world but on the other hand its difficult to link directly this kind of inputs but only had there is no doubt that the militants are highly trained to look at the way that their formation of bone in and also passing those of the ministers and so on. Pakistans Prime Minister has warned about a looming direct military confrontation with india over kashmir during demonstrations in islamabad on friday imran khan urged the world to address the issue in order to avoid a catastrophic more. When muslims are oppressed those who we call the International Community those bodies who are supposed to uphold justice keep silent our 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 they clash will impact not only the subcontinent but the whole one. The region in question kashmir is located in the north of india and pakistan both countries like claim to the area with the un describing it as a disputed territory socalled line of control remains the defacto border in kashmir maintains its own administration but earlier this month india revoked its special autonomy status on friday the Indian Foreign minister said that the country would be willing to enter talks with pakistan but only in an atmosphere free of terror and violence the un have its changes to any disputed territory. Kashmir is muslim majority population could 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. Cern charlie engines on the line hes a professor from the Jindal School of International Affairs very serene what do you make of the rhetoric weve heard from him around cause he has made it sound like pakistans ready for war do you take him to his word that comes thats a possibility or resist just an attention and attempt to draw attention to what he sees as a troublesome problem. Its a lot of brown model because our banks arent easy economically in very very dire straits was just being bailed out by the i. M. F. And by some gulf countries its fiscal deficit is 8. 9 percent of g. D. P. So you know even run cancer almost secretary of the Prime Ministers office has been threatened to be a country on electricity because if they have not cleared their news so all i think this you know of more many of these threats and warnings are mainly alarmist in nature and are intended as you said to provoke International Intervention when one of the objects imran khan published was in the New York Times so clearly hes aiming at the western you know liberal establishment and possibly even to again reading each president honored from him trying to interfere because earlier iran had gotten a rhetorical commitment from prompt rule here in kashmir and later trump backed of it because india and winston that it was not what his time and energy so now is theyre desperate and theyre trying to internationalize it through some means or the other and definitely calling you not talking about a nuclear war are involved out you dont need your flash flying and high loading it in such a read through propaganda will help you not there and they think it will help their cause to keep the kashmir issue in the news and in the public will be and because slowly india is concentrating control would be just one question here so therefore they are quite in a panic and theyre trying to use you know or some kind of our last ditch measures to gain attention you need to step on it theyre. Going public quite frequently theyre under mota by comparison relatively silent so does that suggest that that india politically has the the upper hand in this issue. I think theyre more secure relatively speaking because india you know can easily ward off any military threat from bugs and the only real threat is that you have these stay in an unconventional irregular forces which by the stand keep sending him to kashmir and you know kendras are said bombings and such things so there is a high level of preparedness on the indian side but overall i guess i think india has the upper hand because its essentially it was already controlling the part of dont want kashmir in which it made an internal read arrangement so its not that you know its trying to grab more territory which is under the panasonic control so essentially if you look at the frontier it is pretty secure from the indian point of view and whatever is happening is within are already in the indian purview so i think pakistans ability to somehow intrude and infiltrate and intervene easier rather limited especially given the Economic Situation there in and i think. They would be better of a better served learn trying to fix their domestic economic laws that are out now and i think thats the message from the International Community too because you know just drain your throat hoarse all the time about kashmir question a question may be in and out is not solving the basic social economic problems of the bugs and the people and i think more the on the other hand a little in yours you can only go to slowing down a bit or even a far more comfortable position if there is what i think india can you know sustained for a very long time pakistan does not have the resources to last even 10 days so i think they should rethink this you know. Brinkmanship and look at our you know or more rationally and objectively at their own situation and try and come up with a you know more amicable solution to this problem and as you mentioned in your is willing to have negotiations and dogs but not you know with a gun at this thread addicts ahead you know and thats the emotion. Blackmail so i think the emotional argument about islam is not only mean mean you are you know more points more divided and the need to look at it rationally in the moment the luger i do know much more and a gradual normalization of the situation. Pretty shaky time good to hear from you. The professor from the school of International Affairs giving as his interpretation of events. Moving on 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 well thats in specific about being in afghanistan theyve turned out to be not entirely true and not for the 1st time.
