that a taxi and driven into protests ruins walking in central moscow course the assumption that a lot of people jumped to was that this was a deliberate attack the kind we've seen in cities across the world in the last couple of years but the austerity is came out quite quickly and said no the initial information suggests that the driver kyrgios man had lost control of the vehicle he'd been arrested and various charges have already been brought against him. but then the footage was released which actually search shows something a little bit different it seems to show the driver. pulling purposefully off the road he was standing in stationary traffic mounting the car and then driving quite far into the pedestrians making it look like a much more deliberate thing of course there are ways in which you could explain that away more innocently but it does raise questions and the russian authorities

do have previous history do have form in taking a very long time to attribute things to deliberate actions i'm talking about the bombing of a plane over the sinai peninsula in egypt a few years ago which the russians didn't want to say was related to any kind of terrorist act as they eventually ended up calling it. the russians have a very high profile events going on at the moment the world cup there under the international spotlight they want it to go off without a hitch and so i suspect that they might try to say that anything like this that happens is not a deliberate attack until the all the evidence shows and i think otherwise i was staying in russia the president vladimir putin has been accused of using the world cup to wave through unpopular economic reforms as many russians were watching their

national side beat saudi arabia the government announced controversial plans to raise the retirement age the proposal raises women's retirement age by eighty years to sixty three while men would retire at sixty five which is actually two years above average life expectancy in russia critics say any money saved has already been spent on hosting football's showpiece tournament and the much fever and the expert on russian affairs says she's not surprised the russian government chose to make the proposal now. it is all true of course you draw all the bad news in the pool of good mood but having some of that pension reform has been on the books for years and years we also see that it's going to been incremental process this is quite to peer rolled within twelve to sixteen years with a timetable kind of delaying reform for each age group because the russian

population is aging in other european countries now it is one point eight working person but each one the trends are point to continue russia retirement age is live to close it low life expectancy in russia has been growing but it is a considerable jump the gap so it probably is unfair on men but they retire should retire later than women while there is almost eleven years gender gap between life support of women which is now nearly seventy eight in line with the european average a male life expectancy still ahead on the program outrage grows in the u.s. over the separation of migrant children from there. and on the eve of colombia's presidential runoff from that event to kick the candidate that many fear could undo the far east you.

full funding for his border wall what gregory chan is an immigration lawyer and the rector of government relations at the american immigration lawyers association he says trump's policy is completely inhumane. the practice of separating these children from their families has escalated dramatically under the trumpet ministration and this inhumane policy is resulting in children being literally torn from their parents' arms if you look at the border checkpoint in macau and texas it is a massive warehouse where the children are now housed on a temporary basis that is referred in spanish as the which means the dog kennel because it's a massive massive warehouse where there are chain link fences create structured into jail cells where children are sleeping on the hard concrete floor with nothing more than a mat to separate them from the floor children are moaning and crying at night and

are unable to sleep so the impact of these children is absolutely inhumane we now know of many cases where the separations have happened parents have one at least a couple of cases the parents have done terrible things to themselves one father from hundreds has committed suicide after having his three year old son torn from his arms this is just a couple of weeks ago at least one person has been killed and dozens more wounded after indian security forces fired tear gas and shotgun pellets at protesters in kashmir hundreds have been rallying against indian rule in various parts of the administered region this comes just days after a prominent journalist issue jet was shot dead by gunmen on motorbikes the toria gate and he has more now on the latest escalation of tension. latest protests against india moon started after pres to celebrate the end of

candidates is a former rebel who is vowed to fully implement the zero the other is a conservative committed to rewriting it and the gallagher is more now from bogota . well we're just a few hours away from the polls opening here in colombia and what i can tell you for certain is that this is a divided electorate on the one hand you have people who want to see a more secure economy they are the supporters on the other hand you have people who want to see the insecurities and inequalities of this nation addressed they are the gustavo petro supporters but what's really uniting everyone and worrying everyone in this election is what will happen with the peace accord signed with the far governors back in two thousand and sixteen is a critic petro says he will keep the whole thing in place but let's take a look at it and do kay take a profile of a relatively new comer to colombia politics and see what his policies are and the challenges he may face. in colombia memories are a precious commodity especially in

a nation where thousands of been killed by the colombian military deaths referred to as extra dudish all executions the military use those deaths to falsely claim they've killed more guerrillas jacqueline chrystia lost her brother ten years ago. and what this is sadly we can say there is a sense of indifference in society to the plight of the victims we need people to stand up and say we can't let this happen again we need to end it for good but instead people often don't seem to care. the deaths of innocent civilians are just one of the issues of will face if elected at forty one he's a fresh face in colombian politics untested and handpicked by a former president. who believes he has been accused of human rights abuses but remains popular among right wing voters critics fear duke it will be little more to the pockets of a former president with a questionable past but those in the business community welcome his economic policies to things that we need to keep growing we need to insert ourselves of economic international economic networks and we need to bring more money. and

see it going up to. the biggest fear among voters though is do kids plans for the peace accords with the fork rebels the. historic agreement signed in two thousand and sixteen ended decades of conflict but decay is a critical. event to case running on the campaign slogan was hard but it's what he may do with the peace accords with many here concerned some say the agreements up entirely other cities more likely to modify it but for the thousands of families that have lost loved ones a duke a victory could mean they won't get the odd justice they so desperately seek commons or gomez lost one son to an extrajudicial killing or other was murdered when he tried to find out what happened she tells us the possibility of a presidency makes her angry and we'll see no justice he says no truth colombia's voters remain deeply divided on sunday they'll find out who the new president is

and what the future might look like when the polls open on sunday morning we're just a few hours away from that happening at the moment all indications are is it has something of a commanding lead but it's also worth noting that was taboo petro is the first leftist candidate in this country's history to get this close to the presidency either way by sunday evening colombians will have a clearer idea of what the future holds. take a look now at the main stories on al-jazeera at least twenty six people have been killed in an ice old suicide car bomb attack at a gathering of taliban fighters and afghan security officials in the eastern province of one guy the blast came as president tiny announced an extension of the government's weeklong ceasefire with the taliban it's a blow to an otherwise happy day which saw dozens of armed taliban fighters

al jazeera. where every. top us think of this story is it's ten ten years. wow.

so this is the explosive yes it's basically a wearable robot. research and development for new medicines is costly and time consuming and almost always profit driven so where disease affects only the poor that market is neglected meaning no new medicines. to tropical disease it's the world's second largest processor killer off to malaria killing forty thousand people every year but has had no new drugs developed for decades. i'm dr dobson when i mean ethiopia to explore how big pharma are being mobilized in an unprecedented global initiative to find and fast track a cure for. colors are also known as visceral leishmaniasis is a parasitic disease transmitted through the bite of infected sandflies. when they feed on humans parasites infect the body and are internalized by microfiche is

immune cells designed to protect us from infections. here the parasites multiply and destroy the last infecting other five pacific cells the parasites that move through the lymphatic and vascular systems infiltrating the bone marrow liver and spleen. symptoms include fever weight loss enlargement of the liver and spleen anemia and the weakened immune system. the disease affects millions across ninety eight countries. just north of the equator here due to the hot climate and i grew cultural lifestyle colors are is endemic. ethiopia learned has more than four and a half thousand patients every year many of them male migrant farm workers working long hours in the field. with them

it's a three to four hour drive to the nearest treatment center but for those are unable to pay for transport it's a long walk. fortunately their destination is the center for the treatment of color. for the last ten years going to university hospital has been conducting successful clinical trials involving the combination of two all drugs so damn stupid lou can eight or s.s.g. and para myself. in twenty ten the world health organization officially adopted this combination as the new first line therapy for callas are in east africa it's the first movement in half a century and dr aramis deros has been leading the way. our previous regimen was so depressed we're going to commit four set a few days with a combination we're able to shorten that regimen to seventeen days that's good yes indeed and if you can see was more cement factors and so managed to cure ninety

five percent of patients where is the new combination is that much better than before well in terms of if it is more or less similar. but in terms of. hospital hospitals base it tends or spittle base to seventeen that's the biggest tournament. this two drug combination therapy is safe and has almost half the hospital stay of the earlier treatment. that's a crucial reduction for both patients eager to return to work and the health sector struggling to accommodate everyone currently all twenty six beds here are full. plate everything is love it must be nice to meet you this is it yes leishmaniasis research treatments. because. after the heavy demands of this year's high season the hospital has run out of

power m m i said and despite the new w.h.o. guidelines it's forced to return to the full thirty day regimen of painful and toxic s.s.g. injections. so this is one of old works. he feels very heart fever how long have you had fever. because you know better but. gosh he has been sick for around six months now right. to have pain in your stomach that i think you ask. them who was first suspected of having malaria due to the similarity in early symptoms. but after not responding to treatment he was referred to another clinic which finally diagnosed. now six months after he first fell ill he's in

good hands but if it was left any longer he might not have been so lucky. patients three more places not able to find. and subsequently when the really we see him. go. and now that you're here in hospital. not working how does that affect your earnings skirmish only time can change us that all it's us and. there are times. in which they're standing it. would be mad at us a nation can lead to. them but who is likely to normalize within a week still like all colors our patience due to the dangers of s.s.g. hill require around the clock monitoring and toxicity testing for the entire thirty one days of treatment. the new combination therapy is an improvement but until

these toxic drugs are replaced entirely by new safer and more if acacias ones it's still not good enough. as a neglected tropical disease. is desperately in need of a new research and development boost. a few thousand miles away help is at hand through a new global initiative. we're here in geneva not far in fighting the un and the world health organization but over here we're going to meet the n.t.i. the drugs the neglected diseases initiative. d.n.d. i are the nonprofit organization behind the s.s. g.p.m. development. founded in two thousand and three with the help of medicine saw from nobel prize money they've been rallying commercial pharmaceutical companies around the world to share their resources. already they've gained access to

a limited selection of big pharma drug libraries and now have a portfolio of fifteen promising new drugs in various stages of trial for several neglected diseases but now it's a particularly important time for them going to see charlie mowbray head of drug discovery is the architect of the all new n t d drug discovery booster a project is. and to access and speed up new therapies for color well it's a great time to visit is an email i'm just about to center for the world's leading pharmaceutical companies ok so after america. ace high qaeda quickly ok you can see here there's a chemical structure or some information here of different ways of depicting the structure or its activity against the parasite also it happens to kill t. crusie that causation i guess so this compound will kill the parasites that cause disease and reshma narcisse really we will have screened one hundred thousand compounds maybe to find this one they really precious the parasites are really difficult to kill the properties of this is still quite

a long way away from what we need for something or long from only become an oral meds from swallow and it'll kill the parasite so we would normally have to start making compounds my hand one at a time really slow really expensive but the companies that have been working in drug discovery for fifty or a hundred years already have big collections hundreds of thousands or even millions of compounds and they're going to have some good look a bit like this one this is drug discovery. d.n.d. i is essentially on the hunt for a look alike to this compound one that may have even better properties for the purposes of a new drug for colors are. but they can't do it alone that's where the booster comes in participating pharmaceutical company has effectively opened their entire back catalogue and what's more they'll lead the search themselves if you persuaded these companies and it's in their interest to do. what i think is many many motivations but one of the things i like i'm a scientist i used to work for francois pharmaceutical company the people on the

other side of this project and no different from me they're really excited about working on a disease like this because we can all see the appalling need here most people want to help and i hope some other companies are going to join this project quite soon so we really want this to be a global console to only name and shame the ones i have inside. where we're working hard with some other companies where you noticed it. it takes a long time in discussions like this we hope some of the companies will join us are great so you're going to click send well i'm just about to do that so so yeah we can send it. and that will be off the wall part as in in the u.k. in japan at the end but drugs will be made available at no cost or low cost to the patients that need them so an exciting time fingers crossed. for pharmaceutical giants have so far signed the booster contract which means d.n.d. are now gaining unlimited access to millions of compounds one of the company's

astra zeneca is in the u.k. the other three are in japan shinobi. and days i have received charlie's emails with the seat. we're looking for the man received the email from d.m.g. i believe is in here. high or low it's nice to meet she let me through that so you look at structure of molecules on computer models as well as in real life clinically sure yes you can use only what you do for us that's a fluke not there i think if this is going vessels the three dimensional structure is no. biggie for us all these compounds that see the compounds and imagine this is the seed that came from the n.d.i. the n.d.i. seed is seventeen parts carbon four parts nitrogen fifteen parts hydrogen and one part chlorine connected into this unique shape. this combination and shape closely

fits and binds to a vulnerable spot on the leash mania parasites interfering with their mechanics by so far unknown mechanism but the fit could be better just like fitting a key to a lock by intelligent trial and error one point zero is a shop for food fight this is simple ok this is not a sin but you don't have to be a chemist to say that this doesn't look like that so. i would such a compound based on chemical for an update so now of sudan and i took jan and so the fact that seoul screening is out romney oh yes it's generally quick around yes style a ninety four percent and you can see two rings three rings trying girls and the next one is eighty five percent and so on and so forth that didn't even take to set .
