back doing a lot of negative things across the united states homes like this are disappearing in one nine hundred fifteen chicago had thirty seven hundred single room occupancy hotels like this one spartan space at bargain prices with a bathroom down the hall there are now just sixty left although the number of s.r.o. has the client and the need for it has actually increase because the number of homeless and the number of poor people needing s.r.o. housing is grass rapidly increasing chicago passed an ordinance to protect s r o's three years ago requiring sellers to first consider buyers who would preserve them as as are rose but with real estate prices rising they're now selling faster than ever thirty six since the law passed and it's not just happening here what chicago has experience has been experience also in philadelphia san francisco los angeles

a billion dollars i think per year it's not that they're able to raise prices or pass it through to customers this is something their shareholders are going to fund but i think that a lot of amazon shareholders think this is the right thing to do that's what amazon said was behind the move it was the right thing to do but it's also facing a lot of criticism in large part because of its founder jeff bezos he is the richest man in the world worth one hundred sixty five billion dollars breaking that down he makes about two hundred seventy five million dollars each and every day and amazon is hugely profitable in the second quarter of this year it had a profit of two point five billion dollars so we can afford the raises i was low unemployment it might have to pay more to get enough workers to move their merchandise still the raise is being praised by amazon's toughest critics what mr bezos today has done is not only enormously important for

amazon's hundreds of thousands of employees it could well be and i think it will be a shot heard around the world not every economist things pay workers more will actually help decrease income inequality on the one hand yes workers and amazon will benefit from this this increase in basic pay but in the longer than is exactly the type of company which we don't match up. would invest in automation i would be much more difficult for other companies traditional retailers to match this kind of offer america can often seem like two different countries divided between the haves and have nots economists will be watching to see if amazon's move does anything to heal the divide. al-jazeera washington. the us first lady maloney a champ is encounter on her first solo trip to africa mrs trump was greeted at the airport in our corrupt by ghana's first lady we're back our crew for she will visit

scipio there's something of venom can now be sent to all of our three finances is not limited to being drunk yes. sometimes it's very painful. sometimes it can mean a crack. you can't deal with a threat to human life unless you know it's that and that means detection is one of the most important parts of any health professionals work but here in east africa many of the most sophisticated diagnostic tools from genetic testing to nuclear imaging simply too expensive i'm dr john in tanzania where scientists are busy turning local pasts into a crack team of disease detectives. africa's giant pouch droughts have an exceptional sense of smell and a dose on nature which nigger's e bay and his colleagues at the charge of pope harnessing to save lives. look at

these rats the huge they even have names so here's this this is more you got a huge rat called mojo in his arms ok and this is a specially trained rat trying to do was taking on anyone's detecting run a mile. every morning the rats are taken to nearby training fields to practice sniffing out the explosive agent t.n.t. in deactivated land mines. walls have left many african countries littered with millions of land mines and unexploded bombs. clearing them is notoriously dangerous slow and expensive. but i purpose here rats what ten times faster than humans alone ought to like to set off the mines and will work for peanuts or in this case bananas. in training the rats scratched the ground where they think they smell a mine since two thousand and eight the rats trained here have cleared over nine hundred football fields worth of heavily mined land in neighboring mozambique to

give the go free as for when i benefit from q. which is making a significant impact in the natural fit for the bird to show you the office. as they've done so well at sniffing out mines the rats exceptional noses and now being put to work on one of africa's deadliest diseases so you just want an avalanche you know trying these rats to smell is really in the history hypocrite doing this merely to detect some day it is so i think something new every week sputum samples from seventeen tb centers are sterilize for safety then stream papers lab which is the first in the world to use rats to diagnose disease so these are real actual tuberculosis treats and samples from local hospitals yeah this source with some sound is called elected from suspected to be patients and all the samples have already been tested in hospital but outdated methods mean many tb cases a mess those that have been confirmed are left in to test the rats accuracy but

only one technician in the room knows which is which for all of the bars. in all the positives the two hand this to know the pollution and the right doesn't know if they're out just so that's what we call the double blind test no doubt is created to sniff. the technicians one to see whether the rat scratch over the confirmed cases and if they suspect any other it's. love. it was you. so it indicated on the no one put the deal click followed by four followed by food and number so by indicators but it was the most polluted from two percent so she said suspect so we don't yet know that it could be positive if you put the wrong things it is how ten percent over just finished yeah wow how long would that have

taken microscopist when i was. a single technician trying to find something that day by day here twenty five some pills a day and this right did ten. percent i mean that's a ten fold fifty fold on you can do the math that's very much from. the rats cartney screen at around eight hundred samples a week and news of their work is sporadic so i'm going to introduce you to janet janet is former tb patient. how hearing want. to conquer some us attorney. says. you know when looking for. lesson if it's to can we have him. full. of virginia ending up a mile while it was all he needs. to fall. back to new one

up on them and they see him. every week the routes flag up dozens of samples missed by hospitals which are then retested using a purpose up to date methods so they might really prepared this smears from this put them someplace else where it indicated by that yeah well this is suspect so he's going to stay in this smears so that sort of counter staining acid creation process make sure that the only the bacterium itself picks up the color and everything else in the background will fade in deep cover so that when you look at it under a microscope it's very well it's. so here it's a microscope a room oh. so you know we turn the lights off so we're in the dark because this is a fluorescent dye and so the bacteria actually glow in the dark so you can have a look here look. right. this is there's a lot of i wouldn't even have to count that it may split second to see that is at

least two hundred three hundred bacterium and that feels like so that's that's really nice to see the rats have got it right you know our rats i think you astrid she she she actually got a suspect case that is actually positive and that would have been missed with the ordinary diagnostic tools that we had in the community so that's brilliant more than two thousand six hundred patients were missed where the tb clinics but by the routes and confirmed here. since two thousand and eight the rats have improved tb detection rates by thirty percent and with forty five new clinics to join the program next year these extraordinary burdens are set to save thousands more lives . come on. the stump why the same point people. living with timers can make everyday life to these involuntary muscle movements

a fact simply to start writing or even drive a car i think i'd love to have my medications can the fact that if they don't work an invasive risk of brain surgery is often the next step i'm dr elizabeth here in ohio us side to find out about a new procedure they use it's not a static and the incision it's surgery without. the most of her life the fifty eight year old sonny has suffered with essential tremor and you're not going to sort out the causes involuntary muscle movements. so it's things like create abnormal activity deep in the brain causes shaking which is especially noticeable in the hands and something that can be extremely disabling and that's very fast and i find control and i think that was the last one i was able to do i can't do that on sunday how long have you had essential travel at.

least since i was very what is it worth did send both my hands. it's in my head especially if i do any and to mouth motions i only drink out of a straw and. going to someone's house to eat unless i know them lawfully well that i just say i don't do it i just don't. brushing my teeth it's a nightmare i've damaged my gums it can tell you how mean. i how scars all over my hands cooking can you show me what your writing is like. ok. that's hard work for you isn't it for the tramp through the table yeah can be very strong. so i can just buy that where the aim is sunny has the feel when your body is doing something that you can control.

is this very painful. sometimes it can make me cry. because there's so many things i'd really like to do and i know i can do but i'm not. because i'm a hands. invasive surgery and radio surgery can be used to target the effect of cells that cause traumas from within the brain but these procedures carry significant risks surgeons and scientists at ohio state universities works in the medical center are now trying a completely noninvasive technique focus on to sound is the new technology. uses the power of the song being. to go through the skull and meet a central point within the brain i mean memory from all these thousand beams combines together it is powerful enough to all of a small and the size vision of the brain is a bit like when you use a magnifying glass to concentrate light rays to burn something will stop fire yeah

absolutely so what are the advantages of this procedure over the current procedures for such a. grand or forced ultrasound is it being given on a razor to show without opening your skull patients are overweight and you can look at their specific tremor while they are drawing objects or writing an immediate feedback that you get is a key part of this present that allows us to be accurate while the patient is still on the table so excited that i do indeed is for sure. sunny is just the seventh person to undergo this new procedure at the works in a medical so. just call it a clinical trial. ok so the sun is pretty much all set to sort of go into the machine to come go in a film about bots with china seven and this is kind of the cultural sense that this

is the point to adults question obeyed manipulating the controls to to get the facts he wants. to see the deconstruction of the sun is. known as hard. as you go through this thing you can see the sins on the stone or don't shine in vision of the throne and once you're in for this oh and years he brings home for you. this is the part of the dream you've identified to be are there and you can see ultrasound rays now coming in from the different elements to emerge into the smaller of the brain finds all its nature and now the next step is to stop the treatment step by step to see how much energy and instead of to try to trade the truck. ok that's fun.
