people's overdependence on big hospitals and the associated high costs government reforms have invested one hundred seventy billion dollars in the last five years to build up a primary health care system. in beijing the plan is to have a local community practice within thirty minutes of every home. this is station and community health center in north beeching saving about fifty thousand local inhabitants. who forms even to provide basic medical services that people will want to use without having to wait days or weeks for appointments. this will help to keep the costs of china's health care. if you. know. that. are.

insurance. or polar or doctor and brother when he or the ward. where what the people there who are most in that you fall through are the for the. three cos all you've got. to deal with or a portal are going to be wow. all are actual to do that and it's here the hour before the end of the hot literally out of water glass into what going to the room for the hot bad up out its ass for it into our house either with or without the tootsies untruth. why it's not just the treatment the time the talk to go devotes to her patients and the trust between doctor and patient is also at the heart of china's new primary health reform that i just. sent down with her ha. ha. ha ha shin then

dr john is in charge of the community centers new rehabilitation units with better living standards the chinese are now faced with more chronic illnesses like high blood pressure stroke and diabetes as in developed countries in the past decade they account for eighty percent of all illnesses and deaths in china and it's the community doctors who are taking on this challenge with western and traditional chinese medicine. it's a long way from where doctors young started forty years ago. to manage all. charlatan war harshly or you don't know who will show you sure a problem for the news when you mention him and if you. are your future sure go when you cheer share a doll. or show me what i want to see and you get cheeky which is what i hope you

system reforms. of one point four billion people over half of him live in the countryside. one of the most important year health reforms has been for peasants it's only in the past twelve years that health insurance has been extended to them in. the show family and their sick young son are from a small village a thousand kilometers away from beijing located in the cold far north on the border with russia. it is one of the poorest regions of china and the annual family in color is just three thousand two hundred dollars one sixth of the national average they used to benefit from barefoot doctors for free but had to pay for all their treatments since the market reforms began in the one nine hundred eighty s.

. just six months ago their only child six years old showed young began to feel ill. and you really should get. to a hindrance. to holding. that we came to through a family of four why your sadness is a little hazard to the family of all the the heartless good. previously they would have had to pay for the entire treatment themselves. the new government run riedel health insurance pays for up to ninety percent of all local hospital bills you know there will soon though who are those who want to hide rule it out a little longer to doubt them or even the intent is if not that much for him irrelevant good if. they're going about probably. the. right.

yes and. then that high that they'll. eat in show young's case the local county hospital quickly realized his condition was very serious so he and his mother were unfair to the prevention hospice home. mother and son travel to harbin the provincial capital. once they're out of the country the insurance scheme will cover them for seventy percent of treatment. of him and. i thought well that's why when she was walking up and.

after the examination harbin hospital confirmed to show young has a very complex cardiac condition particularly dangerous for young children and. they're not confident they can perform the operation here so that it fair the family to she her hospital in beijing over one thousand kilometers away. from dying and they all lather sure hope up. and they hog the lab which are a lot gonna have a lot piling a show you know is it all of two thousand years in the semi that. the family hesitates before travelling to beijing while the health insurance will cover some of the cost joe young's mother is worried about the expense of this kind of operation and such a famous hospice ho hey so not all they want to show is highly little billy similar to ours has so whole our. bodies are true then they show me

ways out long through nine other whistles all the saloon. opinion. i haven't drilled i'll go shower. show young's condition deteriorated and with that surgery his life was at risk. so the family decides that no matter what the cost they travel to beaching for immediate treatment. alan where this interview listen to this almost all a deal out of college this year was a college you know how this album is not our interest as well it. brought the. high low low. as it turned out that they travel to be just in time. by an ocean

of their whole family a whole new set of chinese who knew i had in the rather tunnel hora and therefore there are a lot of european even. if you know i'm not going to leave the whole game and if you know. it over one hundred hours of. the operation in beijing will cost them about twenty five thousand dollars which is equal to year's income for young's whole family. which you know at the store for you right around. the world bank and europe would only go to iraq and if you are a while harsh on the young boy or whether you were pulled out a little hard of hearing hearing for the wrong idea about your book and all but your lack of common you. share who hospital like most hospitals in china

has been a profit making business since the early one nine hundred eighty s. . the new health reform means that even those young's family must take a huge loan to cover the treatment they hope they can claim at least some of it back through the insurance scheme. you know their homes your daughter for not will not be on there for an hour that you're out on a four week you know the last. followed by. a hard life. as the operation approaches and the risk of losing the family's only child becomes clear to show young's mother she asks to come in with him. well that and all of us don't see that all. the way home always a lot but. that's all i. don't

think. initially felt about our family and. i felt. like. the operation is a very complex one and the hospital coles and their most experienced staff including the senior needs to test. in one kind of some months when that hundred dollars each up causes them to tell you again and this and that so to hell will move the console of the cell so costs are told someone to listen something some of us can go into. the machine and talk that's among us is so it's at those

two that i just tell them still couldn't answer that bullshit just yet the incessant find. the best doctors in china are no world class but there are still too few of them and they are too concentrated in beijing and shanghai. it will be years before a show young could have such an operation and his regional hospice home.

show yang is still under anaesthetic. the family can only wait at site for the final outcome. so the shots. while you are still. there. are several in yourself. you see her tell her and she doesn't care one way or the other homeless or the

fearless. as you know she always shaved off a little. bit of pain any connection to the both you. and. the family can stay but they have nowhere to go. we cannot afford to tail zoho stories in the capital so they have to wait at the back of the hospital. is a testing time for the grandparents. i. don't . know. what that doctor doesn't want to do. the hive in iraq.

they were doing. but when they've had the will it be a partner to holla when you call a quarter one of her to go without. me that the yelling on the walls. and i mean they didn't yell race in that they could not allow a little faith or that. it's really a book or what you have heard that might. try. to. trigger you. as a couple these are due to ego how's the what's in the house. they will see through the not so actually the ok. the insurance does not cover any of the travel and accommodation costs. illness is one

of the most common causes of poverty in china. that it's the way it should are radical here in the dot dot. dot. there's a dash there for another one that fryer. wail. so that there are that they are right that a good way to get. that. dollar and other they are true for someone that. show more visual. aha to. lead to it.

getting health care to the peasantry has always been a challenge for the chinese government but a new problem is looming with economic success and better health care cheney's people are living longer than ever with life expectancy reaching seventy five years . one story to china's population some four hundred million people will be over sixty within twenty years and the costs of their attendant illnesses are already the largest element of health care expenditure. once again it is the reform of the primary health care system that they hope will take the strain. back in community health center there is a unit that represents something very new to china. hospice great airman newly ill

patients can come to die with dignity and proper care. with most chinese families having only one child hospice is like this could be crucial to reduce the pressure on the hospitals and their families. this is one of the first. and amusements that the government hopes to spread right across the country. the inimitable talk to do this in charge for hire working here is not simply a matter of medical treatment but of holistic care when you already know that you know they go oh my. we only got was well below what is what is going to do that. so.

i mean you know that it's you know when you have sunburns. they go yeah you look to your family it's your home. that elizabeth is open to work. with him i enjoy him up why don't we call him was she. meeting or call and you know we all sound basis and single. voice you know i'm looking for some fun elephants on the hill or. what do you feel a lot of the national radio that you did even back. in college are sounding the whole time male and you make you feel yeah i meet them i'm going to see you don't know enough or will meet ya was a better. use or else we would. all go home machine happily that town. meeting you also have helped a whole lot in that i thought it's useful or is it was it that that is true and

usually due to this it will be a question if you're going to. look at these you don't know what i mean to say gotten on a few times. to our people and. this treatment for the terminally ill is new and part of dr lou. his job is to train volunteers who will keep her patients company in these last days and weeks of their life's. hell to allow them to go long enough to be of only the guilt the team on the edge of the being made without their top backup c c i'm about ready to shriek and. people. that you are. going to cause you need all she. always issue. mission dadi you're not you're mocking the whole woman georgia tech you can jump all that what she how do you follow her that my children are all

numbers that you enjoy or share the letter of how about that one of the geology of your. knowledge you tell me all the alternative policy that each of those attention or should all sit on our economy is not legitimately called without it however what should i sure do not want. any legacy of. the. marriage elaine's condition has deteriorated. she is able to go into the hospice for care. brings in her old colleague to talk to zhang. together they make sure. it's as comfortable as possible. you know how you take the most out of your jewelry and you're magician hold on to your three children old doc how do you do that although you really will only laugh.

hard. to. talk to lou and turner says her own hand for their own special brand of reassurance that i didn't. feel i'll ever get it's an. inch a hospital. has made a remarkable recovery after his heart surgery. where

the family need to get him home as quickly as possible. and look whatever he's done well for. sure the local hospital for that or there was what are your feet on the high list your national holidays all over it your dad articles all about how to deal with him on. the show the. soulful talk a little bit. walk through challenging if you're a chef so it's not you know the way why do you that the hardship that thing. shuttle in the fall is all. he had to be home for the harvest to begin to pay back the huge loans they had taken ites to get show yeah and his treatment. was other than the found a lot this hour here john hart as will have the mail to know what challenges it is

as i am up there all of us how while i drove all of. the. people for this elevator think it. would be just. the day after their return joe young's mother takes him to the kentish ministration to claim the costs from their insurance. at all. the total cost of the treatments for joe young's illness was twenty five thousand dollars both locally and in beijing. of this the insurance covers about half. an hour a lot mentally ill i didn't know whether that you'll be able doesn't know me being after this or did the legacy that they're holding down for what you have they don't

listen if. they didn't understand i don't recall anything thirty don't mean the whole invasion they're not at all shy devotion is it looking at the end. mr yang you've been is in charge of the insurance scheme here. local governments contribute to the scheme but the bulk of the funding comes from beijing. but you know this was in the fall and it always been in the article but. she felt you. were in court with. over him that it. was. that he was on the. front when. he's on.

the. run for the you know. the operation and the trip to beijing have left the family in enormous debt. for years to come they will struggle to pay back loans but without the insurance they almost certainly would no longer have a son. from the further streets of the country sides to the heart of beijing. the chinese government is facing the costs of its own economic success. rising living standards and a longer life expectancy. health reforms

are only the first steps towards affordable and sustainable care for this massive country. healthier china is on its way but there's a long way to go and new reform that seemed at one point four billion people can succeed over night. from a fresh coastal breeze. to watching the sunset on the australian outback. i'll

its aircraft was shot down by inaccurate syrian anti-aircraft fire on sunday the russian defense ministry blamed israel for the incident in which twenty five servicemen died it says israeli jets hid behind the craft pushing it into the path of syrian fire israel denies the russian act. zation zz the government has long wanted to get its hands on the s. three hundred system but russia has held off selling its in recent years because of israeli pressure the soviet designed system can be spread across hundreds of kilometers with radar and warheads based on several flatbed vehicles it can be used to defend against aircraft in missile attack and fired at targets on the ground iran and china own versions of the s three hundred as does greece on the other side of the mediterranean from syria is considered powerful but not unbreachable in recent years some western powers have developed technology which it's believed could successfully evade s.

three hundred detection rate chalons in moscow starts our coverage. a couple of big steps from the russian defense ministry the headline one is that russia is intending to supply within two weeks the syrian military with the s three hundred air defense system a big improvement on the s two hundred system that it was it's currently been operating the second is that russia is going to start jamming onboard radar systems sat nav systems military communication systems in the eastern mediterranean off the coast of syria which will make it harder for outside aviation powers to operate in the area now the s three hundred wars a deal that had been signed with syria a few years ago two thousand and thirteen but israel put its foot down and on the go see ation with russia russia decided that it was going to hold off delivering

these units well in the aftermath of the events last week in which a russian plane was shot down in the area over the syrian coast russia has obviously decided to go against that agreement with israel now there is some difference it seems between the russian defense ministry and the kremlin over the handling of this the russian defense ministry is very angry with israel the kremlin seems to be wanting to play the issue down so it looks as if we might have a bit of a split between these two parts of the russian hierarchy when asked about this and whether it was directed at israel the kremlin said no it's not directed at any third party the ministry of defense so specifically names israel in its announcements. it is possible of course though that this could be being used as

something of a bargaining chip by putin and that maybe over the next couple of weeks the situation will change slightly on negotiation with. its counterparts in israel ok joining us live here in the news. he's a military analyst and retired general in the lebanese army he joins us from beirut how long will it take the syrians to learn how to use this new kit. i think that the syrians are already trained on the use of this mess is the few years they go. there have been leaks the dozens of syrian officers went to the to russia in order to train on the use of other leagues also that the s three hundred missiles are and egypt syria but they did not declare that russia now worth mentioning that the short time weeks

that generous we were talking about it is a very short period. of the from russia and ship it to syria it seems that this is our in syria and now they can use it against the israeli planes but israel already has good defenses so in that regard what's the point what is the benefit here. yes the point is very important that the three hundred very effective. missile and this is well known and in the field of defense and is that of their then of the danger of these. missiles and that deprives the air force from. the and freedom of woman in this funeral space so that will change. dramatically and there will be no more freedom of movement of the.

forces the. direction of travel you were talking there about it being changed dramatically could it have been changed more dramatically or faster perhaps because the s. three hundred it's not russia's best defense system it's up there in the top three that's what other analysts are saying but it's not the top top of the line stuff is it. technically it's the best the version of as for under their modified one which in terms of range and. get them are a matter of this method of the cover most of the think that will make the theorem effect. in their conference think any israeli air force. flying the. ok will leave it there early as for good to talk to again in beirut

thank you very much. world leaders have begun gathering in new york for the u.n. general assembly that is likely to see some intense discussion the us president donald trump has arrived at the u.n. h.q. just a short time ago he's at the meeting of global leaders talking about global drugs problems he set to speak to the general assembly on tuesday as is the iranian leader house and rouhani tensions between the two powers is growing following an attack in the iranian city of bars just one hundred fifty kilometers from the border with iraq diplomatic go to james bays they're going to be following us following the developments over the next couple of days or so james mr trump has already been talking what's his focus so far. well it's about global drugs in the fight against drugs around the world that the president has been talking about he actually has now left the u.n. he was here for less than half an hour and he left the u.n. in the last five minutes or so it was a pretty general speech she was introduced by the u.s.

ambassador nikki haley there was also a speech by the u.n. secretary general antonio terrace focusing on the fight against drugs no new specifics and i have to say although a hundred thirty countries have supported this call to do more to fight drugs globally privately some diplomats including close allies of the u.s. are a little puzzled what this meeting is supposed to have achieved one diplomat. told me well we're all against global narcotics i'm not really quite sure what they're hoping to achieve here a point i put just moments ago to yuri further tof is the executive director of the un odissi that's actually the part of the un that fights global drugs is said to him they don't see too many specifics or anything new here and he said no but the global push there seem to be moving in a positive. direction and the focus is on this issue once again thanks to president trump i have to say i think there might be another reason for this meeting because

president trump was very very strong in his praise of the new colombian president saying he's one is election overwhelmingly well i think that's important on drugs because drug production is up in colombia also important because the u.s. i think is trying to get colombia supports in condemning venezuela also james so many contentious issues to do with iran syria the war in yemen also trade tariffs that's something else we're reporting on here today on al jazeera what are the chances that those sort of four central relationships end up worse than they were. in three days time after the two days of the general assembly get together. with regard to iran i think that is a big danger that you could see this new york in the next two or three days as a venue for a war on words watch what happens in

a couple of hours time when we hear the first comments here in new york of the u.s. secretary of state and national security adviser they are giving a news conference we know the president trump has iran in his sights he'll speak about iran at the u.n. general assembly we're pretty sure on that he's chairing a security council meeting on wednesday all nonproliferation he's already made it clear on twitter he'll be focusing on iran. and remember it's not just president trump president rouhani will also be here in new york and i think he will try to give as good as he gets so on iran big focus of course all the other issues around the world will be in the spotlight here at the united nations we will be looking of course at yemen syria all those issues one of the other focuses today we're telling you is the whole issue of refugees around the world and we have a situation right now in terms of refugees there probably were more at the end of

world war two but they're actually in terms of counted refugees that they've actually managed to count the numbers we have more than it ever been counted before in human history has mr trump said anything perhaps on twitter or even when he's been talking to fox news about his what is mindset is like going into this because it's not his natural environment he had one of his campaign style rallies a few days back clearly feeling very comfortable in that environment sitting opposite the world's the other presidents and prime ministers from around the world maybe slightly out of his comfort zone. he doesn't like it you can tell he's nervous at summits like this i think having said that he's been a little bolder this year than he was last year and you saw him take on nato at that nato summit a few months ago in brussels changed all the gender kicked out some of the people that were supposed to be in the room and just sat there mate.
