on bangladesh's border with me and maher with more i mean shop or the on my backside in nyc on the other myanmar side of the border in between is the nuff river now you can see behind me smoke rising these are villages been burned by the myanmar security forces within the last several days thousands of people are trying to cross into bangladesh through this river crossing many of them are unable to cross because the boat men are charging them exuberant prices ranging from a dollar to two hundred dollars this people are poor they cannot afford to cross because the prices are so high now a lot of these people need to be transferred into the official camp or in the quite appalling area where the presence of international donor agencies right now they're in the marcy of the local donors people from local community are providing them fresh water and food most of these people are a woman and children some elderly people that desperately need aid and they need to be mobilized and move from this area into the official area of cooper long

otherwise they won't get the kind of how the need now the amnesty international latest report corroborates what we are saying and our contacts and myanmar are saying the same thing the masses of people have gathered and they're trying to cross into bangladesh the where the ploy is going within some time that number could very well rich into one million let's now bring in karen donnelly in new york on the news great his the head of international programs at the international rescue committee an organization that responds to the world's worst humanitarian crisis thank you very much for being with us mr donnelly we've heard a lot in the last few weeks about the conditions rohingya who fled myanmar facing the difficult journey they had to make but what about those who have stayed in rakhine state what do we know about their fate. well we know what we've been able to hear from those who've managed to escape we know what we've been able to glean from second hand reports the unfortunate and tragic reality is

we don't have access on the ground for our teams to be able to assess the needs of those populations trapped behind the lines of military operations but we do know from what we've heard that conditions are awful people are fleeing from their villages they're making for the border they're having to survive in the jungle facing perils that range from poisonous akes snakes raging rivers and very disturbing reports of landmines being laid in the area as well we're very concerned about the populations those who fled and those who remain trapped and unable to access humanitarian aid it is difficult isn't it to monitor what's going on on the ground in rakhine state because there's so much misinformation social media campaigns that have been using pictures from various conflicts to talk about what's happening in myanmar this is a conflict that's very closed off isn't it. it's very closed off we have the international rescue committee about four hundred staff and volunteers working in rakhine state we've been running programs there in health

in women's protection in livelihoods for a number of years now we reached one hundred thirty thousand people across the province last year alone but our teams today are stuck in their houses or stuck in their offices their own able to move we haven't been able to get access out we're ready to scale up our response we have teams and supplies positioned and ready to go but we have to be able to get in to access people to verify their needs to understand what the priorities are and to be able to deliver services that they acutely need yeah this is a story you know that a lot of our viewers are interested in the fate of the writing a muslim is something that people on this show often talk about and want to know what the united nations can do what the united nations should be doing as far as your concerned what do you see as the priorities now for for the people in myanmar in rakhine state but also for those who fled to bangladesh to other neighboring countries. first the priorities are clear first and foremost there needs

to be as a whole to stop to the military violence that's causing people to flee that's causing casualties among the civilian population secondly we need to be able to provide assistance to people who need it on the bangladesh side there's a real opportunity for the bangladeshi government to show real moral leadership in the region open up access for u.n. agencies for organizations like the r.c. to be able to provide assistance to those populations unequally on the on the myanmar side of the border to be able to get in says those needs launch services in the medium term of course there needs to be a solution to the issue facing the range of population right now today we have close on over four hundred thousand and expecting five hundred thousand people to flood bangladesh half of the range of population in desperate need many more trapped inside myanmar on the first priority stop the violence and allow aid workers to get in and start providing services mr donnelly thank you very much for

taking the time to speak to us karen donnelly head of international programs at the international rescue committee joining us there from new york thank you for your time now an excellent film airing on al-jazeera right now on the plight of myanmar's muslim writing in the rohingya silent abuse al-jazeera arabic correspondent salim hindawi goes to myanmar to investigate the situation surrounding the rowing and it's a great documentary if you've missed it on t.v. you can always watch it online just click on the documentary stab on al-jazeera dot com and then take on al-jazeera world and you'll find it there and a lot of you have been commenting on the situation in myanmar asking what the united nations is doing saying that they should be doing more to help the rohingya people you can keep your comments coming by contacting us all the different ways to do that on your screen right now the hash tag as ever a.j. news great you can also tweet us our handle at a.j. english and also whatsapp us on number of prost one seven four five zero one triple

one four nine. now qatar's emir is on his first abroad trip since the gulf different crisis began in early june sodje arabia egypt bahrain and the united arab emirates have cut ties with qatar accusing it of supporting terrorism a charge the government has strongly denied shift i mean bin hamad all funny has just met with the french president in money and my core ideas it is where they will hold closed door talks the french government has been keen to offer itself to mediate the crisis earlier the emir was in berlin germany for talks with chancellor angela merkel he agreed to rated a kata wants to negotiate but had. mr dudley we talked about the regina's of qatar to sit down at the table and to discuss and solve the issue we think germany for its effort and also i think the chancellor of germany his role to solve the problems around the negotiating table we think you for your support of the kuwait initiative which qatar has support to

since the beginning and will continue supporting until we get the solution to such fights all the parties want to go on and. the players should really sit down at a table germany's not a part of this conflict but germany would like in line with its values to help to get this conflict resolved in such a way that all can keep if things. kane has been covering the berlin leg of the emir street. the visit of his majesty the emea of consul to germany was a brief one but an important staging post for his majesty meeting anglo-american before going on to meet president mccall at the end is a promise in paris the point to make here is the fundamental element that germany has been playing through its foreign ministers it might go in trying to bring the discordant notes the the parties in this crisis together in the same room where

possible to hammer out some sort of solution because the german design here is to play a broader role diplomatically speaking in the gulf and they hope that the into session will be in some way able to bring about the kind of solution that all sides say they want to bring about the point point therapy is really what is now showing all of this benefit we think other immunotherapy will do that as well including adopted t. cell therapy and these other ways of engineering the t. cells before giving them back to patients you wouldn't think of chemotherapy surgery radiation therapy without adding any new no therapy anymore you've now changed that whole paradigm yes i'm i'm very proud i think you know it's his passion that i fell in love with to be honest and it's been his passion that drove the work he wanted to see whether or not what he did in the laboratory his basic science could have clinical impact and he drove that i have to say there were many people who thought that all you're going to take an antibody and block this single

molecule and you're going to treat dancer come on give me a break that's not going to work right he got a lot of rejections along the way and he stuck with it but it worked out for everyone not you know not just his science or his career would it work out for so many patients. for some of those patients like david white life has been extended beyond what anyone imagined but it comes with a price infusions come by weekly or paid for by the drug company sponsoring the study but the trips are tough all of this is emotional you heard i think emotion. harder than the physical part so you've had some pretty amazing results on this immunotherapy can you tell me about that. you know i just get lucky. i got response and six weeks to the a mentor and i haven't had a reoccurrence of my cancer in. two years at age seventy two two years have made a huge difference. yes. and

what do you want to do now. ok i gave up running but i still coach and referee so. thanks again guys thank you yes joe young children were never far from his thoughts is hard to talk about. so when i got cancer nicholas was ten and. isabella was five. snow or you want to be with little kids. but they're a big part of my voted as should. do i get a hug before i leave. and i felt like my job. so necklace is now sixteen.

he's enjoying your. and isabella going to be eleven end of this year and she said have greater big difference. i've been able to be and often have an influence on their development life quite a bit it's not. coaching. and with the outcomes we've got right now i'm i'm hopeful that it's going to be a lot longer at least relative to this part of the disease. so i mean heard not only did he have a complete remission where we essentially cannot find the tumor back on c.t. imaging he's had a very long term durable remission that's now ongoing for more than two years of treatment for his labs and the other types of reports that you look at do they look

very similar to someone of his age that never was diagnosed with cancer. over time have become more normal more what i've seen in the typical population and so clearly the effects of them you know their b. are certainly relevant they help him he's feeling better he's doing better and his cancer is under control what percentage of the patients in your trial sort of experience this miraculous recovery so around twenty percent or so patients do very well with these clinical trials so it's not everyone but it is a substantial fraction of people that we couldn't do this far before i mean checkpoint therapy became available that gives us hope that we can build on this twenty percent to make it fifty percent eighty percent maybe one hundred percent i'm not going to sign miracle although it feels like a miracle feels like a huge blessing. and i think it is i think it. checkpoint

inhibitor i mean a therapy is just one of the new therapies it seems to work best with cancer is that people get too much sun smoking. but techno just come to paris because of beneath our feet high and it. is called a c.t. or adoptive cells charms for their. scientists take t. cells and genetically edit them this immunotherapy is now undergoing his first human test the results are impressive. which year old but she's fighting for her life. just. she was diagnosed with leukemia as the only decision there was no doctors tried everything including a bone marrow transplant so we didn't agree with dominic right to do nothing when i was a why we don't want to know whatever we want to know that we've tried everything for her i would like to move on just go home and know that there's something available and just think what if we had tried we've done it now and i mean. they list

doctors made a desperate plea to a biotech company in paris it was a long shot but dr andre shooting was ready god a call from the physician that we're creating and they said we have no solution and maybe this off the shelf prolog could be a solution why because this patient had not enough cells the next step in the fight against cancer is happening in the barn this one scientists here in paris a genetically manipulating t. cells essentially engineering them to become cancer fighting. later received a single dose of genetically engineered t. cells so we shipped the while there and that was the first time this new party nineteen which is the fourth product for a cure flown for what i think looking at was those in the sort of the strong

patient in just a few weeks she went into complete remission and jared keeps us up late and i think that's already in the morning. yes she's not even started just magic the genetically engineered days is in this vial it's a type of t. cell therapy called path or a p american antigen receptive therapy because of proteins that give t. cells the ability to target human cells in. this technique was invited inside this laboratory operated by the select his company to get a close up view of how this gene editing works before us. protective gloves and. so this is the place where you can find a place it's a block cell the pregame menu collating genetically programmed them from and to become real killings or happens head yes it is just the start the entire process would take seventeen days it begins with the company gets from

me. so how is this different we cold it's target of terror targeted because we use molecules with a kind of a warhead the tip these molecules have dialed and program and which are called antibodies it's like a rocket that can recognize. a cell. seeking missile finding the cancer cell that's exactly it so we can actually see the cells being growing hair in the flower yes and i like to let our tool centered on the so-called wafer. so here we have what's called the wave machine named for the gentle motion of the machine designed to help. what happened in the body is totally different when the cue cell gets inside the body it will recognize to become

through the camera and to generate scepter it will start lifting the cancer cell the cell that would present for example see the nineteenth and then the t. cell will kill the cell but what it said gets inside your body here is start the war against cancer here is where you have to measure. cancer fighting self yes we want to preserve the cancer potential as much as possible and keep them. alive sleep here. in perth any interaction before do get into a war so here where we just. exerciser but don't take off my cap. jam exactly it's a it's a jam. and it was on to the most critical step in the process from this happening here it's a word a genetic thing will have some new load. to put the thing ready so it's loading electricity. get started and then the thing happened it's

super simple i'm going to read it it happened it's very it's a microsecond the gene editing process happens on a microscopic level that looks like. a cool talons come the d.n.a. sequence to suppress surface receptor. can then be targeted for specific cancer so now you have this is the time of the impressions of the two sounds in the next city and now the action to get your reaction to the story now i'm joined in the next hour to three hours old the genetic tangle have the trucks only for ninety percent of the cells will get the genetic thing not hundred percent. you caught nineteen later richards he had acute lymphoblastic leukemia a our form of cancer. you caught one two three targets eight and out

were acute myeloid leukaemia own mary cancer. so what do we have half so these are. the cells are targeting acute lymphoblastic leukaemia and they have been told so they were frozen and without them and so we can see the cells. wow there are many council soldiers in there it's amazing to think that one of these tiny little sounds is a cancer. yeah when you see them actually. credit. the idea behind this therapy is to make it viable for any patient because the t. cells are not specific to an individual after gene editing that should be no rejection of. an uncertain revolutionary isn't a. trial i think that is the definitely a revolution that is starting its heart of it and cancer but this revolution

going around the results. be very promising as of october two thousand and sixteen which it's remains in remission the second young patient was given that . she has not been identified she is reportedly in remission. but the little girl and her family who are brave enough to. put this treatment intact is the one who talked to she remembers. very happy because that weekend she came home ok now painted me. what was that like to be part of that first saw her on t.v. i think this drug has drawn like a pretty strong emotion in a worldwide this is like the most beautiful thing i've ever done in my life and if it has to stop here well at least i've done something. to the world

the innovation needs to be tested the fine to fair competition but when it if i can secure could be a reality the technology i'm dr should be femara in paris be a next time. the centenarians of italy one hundred years old and counting when you told me that people like these and you receive these you thing that you want to be think a person of seventy five there's something about this area that is helping young devotee of life i mean organic here it's not a trend here is what you have they don't have to miss here and although they're eating and smoking and so on for the last secret techno this time all knowledge is either.

let's talk about now. right now. right now it's happening so fast. you can barely keep up with it. right now we've got clowns protecting rhino. on mobile technology finding clean water not tomorrow not five years in the future. now. in a disaster the internet can be restored by a truck. in a mine this truck can drive itself and right now this child is being treated by a doctor from six thousand miles away this is science not fiction and cisco networks are making it happen now. because when everything is securely connected

anything is possible and there's never been a better time to change the world. provocation from pyongyang kim jong il and fires yet another missile of the japan triggering a new round of international condemnation.
