he was. monitoring america as a body of water as it. has made you know your desire that. they don't know until total fucking assholes that had nothing to do. while there's a brisk trade in hand forged tweezers for plucking in-grown eyelashes the real action in the marketplace today is around the massive program to protect the fifteen million people at risk of truck in on high profits. no matter what that. that's not but let me ask let me ask what

that was. i thought. that was i thought it was a m. five five five five. zero one a manager in charge of the car to send his truck home a program does on the spot check ups looking for signs of the infection under the eyelids. that. sort of just charge has got out of the out come out in both eyes so someone who needs. some or not there's a you're just. not seeing dr paul anderson has been monitoring the impact of the elimination program. i think it's really nice that when we're looking at the kids the number of pads with signs of active turkoman is in the way lower than it was five years ago we've only seen one child so far. it's mainly the elderly who

come for help many have advanced to a coma which if left untreated will inevitably lead to blindness. each infection leads to a build up of scar tissue on the inside of the lid and as you get older the scar tissue contracts and as a contracts it draws the last years around and it's the lashes then rubbing against the eye that causes debilitating pain and blindness has been described as a blinking hell. and you have. some extra disk. i'm not a whole thing joe way or so but that at the end of the city does and one in ten years for weeks months bush has been involved a to go for surgery she's even booked them an appointment. you know

a book of an underdog and that's the way they're not you know when they're good to . the whole but i'm going to bet you a book i'm not a devil. and i won't go now. and the. reason yet is i mean that he said this in the good news that. if i thought as i did members when i was going to come on the negative. that. doesn't wasn't as it i'm you know some but not so let in the good old woman's religion the does your mission should not look a book of the last of. the. seventh just a good don't know if you indemnify of the tomb of. the wanted to get it out and he's such a good meal that i'm. going. to

a million people have severe truck on land that needs surgery. around the country young nurses are changed to perform the surgery as part of the plan to reach those in need but the health ministry and its partners have only managed to treat fifty percent of their target number. but i went on as. it was on and on and a doctor to death does the nurses to work harder the surgery register records that far more operations can be done on this of these you know so you get. twenty three year old duchess and only recently qualified to perform eyelid surgery . on me to morrow somehow they are no more major matter and they don't. get to a better me and i saw police had a way that not. only see should they. go as well i knew

nothing of that we could imagine they'd decide that. you're the one mother and all i'm fed up with that people's clicking on kids and she said only able to get let out of course in assignment with but and then i don't really think that on the inside also busy continue on with that oh yes in that class um no you are not the sort of doing that. after months of persuasion and a very long walk it is that last time for valdana malda to have a small but life changing procedure. but the talent that they all study threw a big dent in the fact that it was. good in the swimmy you know locations like. so good as you saw in the case of his. own. good and on the sets no matter if they had

news hour that's coming up in twenty five minutes time life line continues now. you scratch your blood the big guy showed of your skin used to scratch we were

using even. that stuff is like pieces all broken boards will screw fellas and there are some people who are going to bore you to water powered or toward on their board the engine is going to go off and they simply get burnt and it's innocent goes on. you each. each until you become irrational. the itching that drives some to suicide is a symptom of river blindness a disease that leads to an irreversible loss of sight. perhaps it's in uganda that it has taken its heaviest toll but it is also here that a simple change in how a site saving drug is being distributed that is bringing dramatic change. in the past up to fifty percent of all adults in some african regions lost their

sight to river blindness like chuck roma the target for eliminating river blindness is the year twenty twenty and driving this target forward to some extraordinary people. my first experience with a rueful brain this was in western uganda. i found it crime mimic to divest it of by this disease. these guys willing to do much for them so it was and saw. that to give me a cause to fight for. the. kind of thing that look. like many black to tropical diseases river blindness is found far from cities in

remote rural areas. most is cut a battle works to eliminate threat of blindness. from tired bored my ambition was to become a doctor but the big government in nineteen seventy one was or was thrown by to die mean and things changed. when uganda entered decades of civil war moses's dreams with nitish to. by the time the war had ended he found himself working with devastated communities in the countryside plagued by disease. today he is returning to the west now the region of uganda along the border with the democratic republic of congo. but right now both your ground law both city point five million people infected with the disease on the com

fome thirty five districts. revolve brain this is a disease of the border. where the road ends is where you will be gun seeing the disease for. five years where you find these people chad if i tell you where the water this is where you expect your spot exists and gets it good for the better for us and better plus we've been all services that's where we started their walks. that lives in a village bordered by two vehicles through. my father who was at the new ground three places where they were mostly cultivating and

usually after i was doused out along any of our bonds. three were strong energetic gentlemen and then he started developing skin three quintin regard diverting. the issue for their board became to my eyes he started feeling here through my brain and even as time goes on. he. began losing these sight thought. i was in the us it was so painful a study more than where i stoped i received was stronger not so i've been by education are even universe i was always lead to him being the only

son why does go for thar their duties like this. even looking for food for us to eat. money. is. go. i shall move through. this rod and god has brought four thousand. you cannot around i we will need aftercare for you my daily diet because that is no any of that person to care for you.

the whites now has many. it brings life to a vast areas of the continent but like many rivers in africa it can bring suffering to. even here in its ted didn't want to see the tiny me on a small black library. this is the carrier. and all the suffering that it causes. and for him to castigate is a victim control officer in uganda's ministry of health for these at the front line up the campaign told him in a tree so we are looking for the brothel for life breeds it's in fact he is the bait for the biting in saves these specimens will be tested to see if they carried their bit of blindness parasite food and maybe got approved for use if you know. it is full blood

for the development of hot dogs so it bites the. disease. in their own moves by another person who doesn't have the disease. larvae i injected into its human victim. these grow into adult worms and form not jewels where they breed. each female produces up to a tiny micro celeriac every day. these invade the skin. your. bodies. but. they are for the bodies so your immune system attacks and to use him in a system which causes it. now if you i mean

a system is very efficient use a formal feel for him has set up a field laboratory to examine the flies for he also tests tiny skin samples from people to see if they are infected fis can give an accurate measure of the number of micro for larry at that have invaded the skin it's when you take a skin to skin it's under that michael for who could but i knew that there was your friend at old gordon and michael grady so you knew a little dizzy and would be so you can imagine the children when someone says you know simply something. something larry i wriggled their way into their victims eyes over time it leads to total blindness

we do know because but. people were telling their people but. when people were asked. but the thing to do was to run the. land cursed by the disease was abandoned people lost livelihoods many valleys lay fallow for years eventually people began to. sing these. schemes. for aids president. in one thousand nine hundred eighty seven. companies began an unprecedented program of breakthrough drug it's called mek to which with just one

dose treats the disease. is as much as needed for. even in perpetuity but not everyone celebrated the free medicine. days it's. very heavy. in the field and get people lying that we have given them. after seeing their friends swearing their. there was. some religious sects believed. it was a divine punishment. they. see the.

god. to his people rejected us us. that we are being the steve my europeans were making drugs for the people who took the drug and endured it severe reactions life improved. then their fourth and fifth the day all of these deceptive i'm the sleep and. you do that hadley but when i started taking the drug i did my scheme i actually agree with women and men coming to me this way that for the first time they feel they could if they were like women or men because they had the stick plus sexual contact after a long long time and then it came to thank me. you know what we have done all of the group and now they are human beings.

in the years since the drug program began people have come to depend on its protection and some wait anxiously for their next treatment. i got to try to let my. applies to bite so from the neck here i'm from here so whenever they bite you like bees do that to but the believes is to try it's you it's you begin to scratch you so that you eat my body is that they be so each is i can night so i was so worried that is there

does not get loud so. this strategy is that everyone in affected communities gets treated not just those with symptoms in a west nile region where river blindness infections are exceptionally high make design is distributed twice a year we'll find out if they are you are that are in are very rare very moderate about i do not i don't believe you out. when the dam rags that sebastian has volunteered to called the villages for medication. why would i want to see me everywhere are already. every mammal. i mean i don't know. whether they are minor i mean ma'am we are everywhere more people are happy he said laughing whenever day yeah i used to go to hong kong yeah yeah she had drugs i saw people who can really good

a number more in isolated communities drug distribution is an immense challenge. in the beginning health authorities were able to distribute make design to thousands of promote said to. moses had experience of working in such places and believed he had a solution but it wasn't well received. and my idea was we go these people educated them and provide them their medicines they treat themselves and they report buck. but they hit a system had never been involved in that kind of stuff in fact it was illegal to treat us if you needed to get their profession a clinician to give you their medicine so it was fine for the minister here to hear

that communities are going to be encouraged to distribute their own medicine everyone thought they're going to kill themselves and so they will pose it to me. i ask them to use their system and see how it's going to perform and for a whole year. for your country when need to treat two million we treated four thousand people then i brought back the figures i'm sure. that they had figured despite these poor results his ideas still met with opposition until the world health organization offered to test it. i don't. want it i don't have the right.

i got a lot of who started training in these communities and requesting them to do their own distributers and they did a good job but there were no to doing as weird as expected and then they discovered the problem was that many of them without crossing their fine merely structure to treat in other families and they were northup was shifted another program that it was always men as being said it did no female was. there more we promoted defy many best the distribution the higher the treatment to cover it became. to ensure that each person receives the right number of tablets and innovative method is used to link height to dose its. final results showed that extended families were able to treat everyone in just two

days. it was an extraordinary breakthrough and became the model for treating river blindness all over uganda. and. i have long cared to myself to write for my people. are now calling for various people about their brog to what is their perfect goal of the crown on why is it the into the water wheel that time after wards a good thing. i believe in the program because when we have gone on more better as their communities they have been a sow's ear stick so it's not just one hundred here thwack us we have a mini on food sword joe's doing walk to get this medicine to the most of the people were needed. now i just think foot soldiers like

these across africa and south america have distributed more than a billion treatments of make design and tend the tide on river blindness. the goal to completely eliminate the disease worldwide by twenty twenty is within it. finally said best and gets his own dose of make design perhaps tonight he will sleep better. while black fly remains in an environment people are at risk of three infection in order to stop the spread of the disease in its numbers must be controlled. or whether we come to the island i will fight the disease we have to see. whether the abrupt right is a breeding in but that even. if you had someone issue with

freshwater probs and that's about the these two fridays. we would subs clubs up of these problems. if we examine a deal on the city for the of what the artists give over these for us and that they are that this is the price it was for they did this ritual that well as it is if their river must be treated to kill the fly larvae careful calculations need to be made. to clear the fright well used any friend who is excited and up to defend their rights for abortion putting us at the nouveau we did most of what the riches of the party to the point if it's. it's when you would that i thin the

folks in your life. even if you put drinking the water after you off with a dick in the pool he doesn't want to think he did. that two pronged strategy of environmental control and mess drug distribution is showing progress so this is your ground. and we had river brain this here we've finished the job no revoked and it's covered already gone. here. finished so now their main fear is more yeah it took. this is a new idea because there was war but now it's peaceful so we haven't gone there and now we're talking the problem now for you you're hearing me yesterday always deny so here it looks exactly like it's gone now we have to concentrate on treating the

people twice a year. in two years i want us to come and do studio stage we are going to need to go clear but you're doing a good job to continue treating people and sitting two women as a distributor would have become in the back of this is not that i think i'm taking a message to give a message to everyone. i have learned a lot walking with. my gin that i can manage things one would hope what their money say all these people hopeless but once you walk with them be teaching you and you teach them and they become so confident of what they're doing.

the next day in another county bizarre more community comes together fine annually and. i mean energy. any more you don't refine it slow you to do all your work up what i stuff. so far down what's good about the right you know to me whether you have what i do you will be doing. today they are electing a new team to distribute drugs and women are well represented here that's. what moses never became a medical doctor but his work with neglected communities has changed the face of public health today uganda leads the way in the quest river blindness in africa. when to comes to their walk i'm doing i feel that i have touched many lives touched people who have never been reached and so that accusing movie in

no satisfaction emotion. i am i told i am at peace. with. these new i mean. there have been those themselves and their own things and or been always up to those who knew less. than. most. but fear.

hello again it's good to have you back we're going to start this hour here in australia and across the bay we are seeing two weather systems pushing through one down here across parts of victoria and then another one making its way from perth across towards adelaide now what this is going to do is really change the temperatures so as we start here on monday at twenty seven twenty four degrees but once that system pushes through then we're going to be seeing a big drop in temperatures winds going to be coming out of the south so for adelaide you can be going down about ten to eleven degrees there over here towards melbourne some showers in your forecast at sixteen but really not looking too bad

for brisbane about twenty seven and partly cloudy there well knowledge about across much of new zealand are going to see one system pushing out so the forecast is getting better there where we are going to be seeing some clouds down here towards the south island with christchurch at fifteen degrees but then as we go towards tuesday we do expect to see some clearing in your forecasts and then very quickly up towards parts of northern asia we're going to be seeing some better weather of course we were dealing with the last few days across parts of that has moved out and dissipated so no problems there winds have died down but down towards tokyo temperature and partly cloudy conditions few of twenty three degrees there then over toward seoul partly cloudy at twenty and about twenty degrees. the consequence of war. ventures and roger shuls he served in the marine corps for ninety two ninety ninety five that just doesn't go away. but living out of his

truck for the last couple years. he's home was zero follows a group of u.s. veterans much iced by war. as they struggle to get their lives back. zero. hello i'm maryam namazie this is the news hour live from london coming up in the next sixty minutes missing and feared murdered turkey's president says he's personally following the case of veteran journalist jamal khashoggi who disappeared

at the saudi consulate on tuesday brazilians cost their ballots in one of the most divisive presidential polls for years but will far right candidate. get enough votes to avoid a ronald. more than five thousand people reported missing in indonesia's palu city after last week's devastating earthquake and tsunami. and partial results show successful pro secessionist counted it mirrored dick one of those near and heads of government his most divisive elections and. on poll recent our all with the sports coverage of moma gold medal of brit's connell mcgregor in the big u.f.c. fights but it's what happens afterwards that is throwing the results into. and we begin this hour with the case of missing saudi journalist jamal khashoggi

whose fate is still not known following his disappearance from the saudi consulate in istanbul on tuesday turkish officials believe he was mud at the as his fiance waited for him outside saudi arabia insists such allegations are baseless the case is threatening to strike relations between the regional rivals while also garnering criticism from those who believe disappearance is a blow to press freedom. reports now from istanbul. jamaal hershel g. has been missing for five days the well known saudi journalist was last seen entering his country's consulate in istanbul on true's day and hasn't emerged since friends and colleagues from around the world now fear the worst they said he entered the consulate in the left and we don't know what happened but his wife was out there is so he didn't leave so that said that's a fact and i think your story will probably be true that he didn't leave because the video footage you'll see there in a few days i mean it's just not credible and i think anybody who has

a sense of decency should understand that this is something not acceptable it's not acceptable to a citizen because it's new duty or a different country and just abducted or whatever mean well the operation since his disappearance senior turkish officials have held back from speaking on record in an attempt to avoid a diplomatic fallout with the saudis however on sunday president right up to taper iran had this to say the version of only the letter and the prosecutor general and a standalone extensively investigating this incident from a security intelligence perspective checking of the records of departure an interest them by the airport in particular is ongoing we are awaiting the results of these investigations that said for us to see such an incident taking place in my country mr jamal is an old friend of mine that's why my expectation is still in good faith i wish we don't come up against a situation that we don't desire i do believe that the defenders of freedom and freedom of opinion in our country will follow this matter as president of turkey i

will follow this closely and i will announce the results no matter what to the world the law was the former editor in chief of saudi media outlets are not up and then what on and was close to members of the saudi royal family last year however and after the rise of crown prince mohammed bin said a man was banned from writing allegedly because of his comments on the kingdom's relationship with u.s. president donald trump shortly after her show. she fled his homeland to live in self-imposed exile in washington he was not necessarily a dissident i disagree with that description he was a loyal saudi citizen he had his own vision of what the country should be doing that type of freedom needs the type of reform it needs and maybe in the final analysis that's what got him in trouble he was last seen entering the saudi consulate in istanbul it's around one pm on tuesday several hours later

a saudi official told his fiance who was waiting outside that he wasn't in the building turkish security sources say a group of saudi officials flew into stumble on the day of his disappearance and were at the consulates when herschel she was there are three days later turkey's foreign ministry summoned saudi arabia's ambassador to ankara and crown prince mohammed bin some months said turkish police could search the saudi consulates they then invited journalists in to show all cultural jew was not their. after the turkish police announced they were conducting a murder investigation saudi arabia state news agency denied accusations that he was murdered in their consulates. the washington post which could tell she wrote opinion pieces for said if the reports of jamal's murder are true it's a monstrous and unfathomable act tomorrow was or as we hope is a committed courageous journalist the disappearance of her children is i think further strain to talk of saudi relations with officials here saying they will be releasing security camera video as well as other evidence if an acceptable and

convincing explanation from the saudis is not forthcoming. they stumble when a delegation of saudi prosecutors have visited the saudi consulate in istanbul the saudi ambassador to turkey says the delegation is working with that turkish counterparts to investigate what happened to. well david hearses the editor in chief of the online publication middle east i he says the inquiry can't proceed until investigators are allowed into the consulate. my understanding is that a forensic team. is still awaiting permission from the scientists go in the forensic team are very confident that they will find traces of blood and other human remains inside concert music streaming difficult apparently to cover this up unless you physically destroy the walls and the room in which he was murdered and they will start releasing the detents over the next few days but it's going to be

a criminal. investigation is going to be the prosecutor who releases it not the politicians but what they want to do is space can make the world wake up to what has happened in atrocious crime you know consulate in a in a european city this is unbelievable jamal was a model saudi he did not consider himself a dissident. he did not criticize saudi arabia over for instance and lisa literally the war in yemen or indeed the reform program what he was talking about was the lack of democracy in in saudi arabia and huge human rights abuses and he said you cannot have an economic reform unless you have a political hope he's a very moderate mild sensible things to say it's the view of a reformer not a revolutionary now that unfortunately the saudi regime is such that it cannot

stomach even moderate criticism and this is what they do some moderate critics and i think a civil completions that could be drawn from from this case last one is that the state of saudi turkish relations is dead it doesn't exist anymore and there is fury unbridled fury in turkey and they're not bothered about now the relationship confessional relationship isadore the second tactic is that it's now going to be employed by the in and the presidency is to name and shame and to get twelve's opinion on their side and to leave no iota of doubt as to the facts of what happened. polls of close in brazil and one of the most closely fought and polarizing elections for years far right candidate jr both so narrow is poised to take the

most votes in the first round the tough on crime politician leads his main rival by fourteen points with a left wing candidate for dad is a former mayor of sound power who replaced a former president luiz inacio lula da silva as the workers' party candidate who was disqualified from signing in the election after being convicted of corruption if no candidate gets more than fifty percent of the ballots there will be a second round in three weeks time we have two correspondents covering this story for us in a moment we'll have reaction from trays of both those at the workers' party headquarters in sao paolo first though the latest america italy c n human in rio de janeiro last time we spoke you see there were crowds of people behind you waiting to cast their vote what's happening there now. you're right but now the polls have closed but not in the entire country but in most of it there's still an hour to go in the western amazonian region of brazil but in the

largest and most populated parts of this country people have finished voting and we've already seen exit polls not for the presidential race but for the gubernatorial and congressional seats and from what we're seeing the workers' party the leftist party of former president and of. his replacement things do not look good at all in fact former president rousseff who is running for the senate is in fourth place right now which means she will not get a seat now joining me to talk more about what's being described as a political earthquake in brazil is political analyst daniel. you were telling me earlier that this is a completely a typical election nothing like none you've ever seen what do you mean by that i mean the. it's a very it's a very feeling it's a very sentimental election people are crying smiling yelling people are nice thing in lines for longer hours trying to make their position into a vote so it's

a very different election than the others now if we can use what we know so far from the exit polls for the gubernatorial and congressional seats that we've seen what can we expect the presidential outcome to be built on out of seems to have a very strong position maybe he's going to win today because the senators in the governors are supporting him it seems that they are going to have higher voting them we expected hours before so that means that there has been a real shift a monumental shift from the left center left to the extreme right in this country how do you explain it especially a candidate who barely could compete who barely went to any of the debates who a month ago was unable to to go out and campaign because he was almost assassinated and yet he seems to be winning yes he's he seems to be winning because he's he's positions very strongly against the violence against corruption and he's very

against the everything that the government seems so he's connected with what people want in this moment but he is also a man known for having massage an ist racist a homophobic and also pro militaristic tendencies or opinions does that matter anymore it seems that it doesn't because people wore it with things like violence with corruption in the problem so everything that he has had in the past people are saying that it's not so important that he has to change and he's going to be he's going to change even more when he's if he's the president of brazil and you believe that not really i think if you if you stand for some causes you're going to keep standing for that cause this when you become president. they.
