12:36 pm
people and with no cure currently available it can result in a slow and complete loss of vision i'm dr janet abdomen and amsterdam the netherlands to see how an incredible new implant is giving people who are completely blind the chance to see again. fred van lente is one of seventy people around the world who are being fitted with the august two retinal prosthesis system a device that is giving back some sight to people suffering from certain types of blindness in the past i have seen i played football and for the kill kind of thing i can walk i can buy a bicycle it was not in one time i didn't go in fairing very slowly by the time you were thirty four you could not see yes i don't know. your wife tanya have you ever seen her face yes. when i was thirty four and she was twenty nine i'm not fifty eight years old in my mind she is still
12:37 pm
twenty nine years old i could think either i thought you were laid out how do you feel being only the third person in the country to have this. yes this. is the surgeon who will be operating on friday. it's exciting technology that is basically a little microchip we implant in the eye. blind people that are affected by everything like this because those are thanks to this. light in a healthy i the photo receptors in the retina converts light into electro chemical impulses that are sent through the optic nerve and into the brain condition such as retinitis pigmentosa can stop the photoreceptors from working properly the august two bypasses these damaged photoreceptors using a miniature video camera that sits on the patient's glasses this camera sense
12:38 pm
wireless signals via a video processing unit to an implant which has been surgically placed on the damaged retina the implant then emits small pulses of electricity which travel along the optic nerve to the brain which learns to interpret these pulses as visual patterns when you begin to question they do not understand what they're saying it's not official vision so they have to learn how to interpret the pattern of light we send them because it's not the vision we have but what we're used to. love order. during the surgery doc tomorrow will pin the electrode to the back of the eye which in turn will be attached to an aerial that will wrap around the i have a real it's being anchored to the outside of there i am white is just being on the
12:39 pm
hook and. it won't be seen when you look. behind behind. the complexity of the operation means the surgery can take up to four long hours. mockery of the firing the white being. which is. he can write. to me that he's going to him. from the moment of truth good luck on. that section of the truth and pretty much. because now. you know. who most done and you happy with it yes there might be plenty of these plays you said to still it might be. you didn't but it is another patient would want to not just pick mentos so who had the device implanted four months ago. i love that i want your room i'm fine
12:40 pm
thank you i've just been asked to be nice if you want to hear adult stuff that's exactly what i was eleven when i got diagnosed so yeah and when i was fifteen it's getting worse and worse and i think again not a bicycle anymore and yeah and when i was eighteen and nineteen in two years i lost eighty percent of my official feels it's only been four months since it's been four months yeah it takes a lot of time and you know i've got three film and the first long days with six packs. and that's for when the conversation i have when it's cooler weather and when it's cloudy or whether i use this one and i've got twelve with extra contrast and when it's too cloudy i use this one i'm sure that you could get infrared heat seeking just a touch of. it's
12:41 pm
a lot of preparation for just improving yeah when i do this yeah i see this you can see that there's life lessons oh wow. when i notice yes i can see i can and can you see what can you see exactly i see light and. i don't see how many are. so well you can actually tell there are stripes that i know that there are i see the stripes wow when you go stand over here. and it's gets and it gets much much better you're not show the good will not. if i could see you it's kind of me like. when i do this and then you know about it i see out of hand exactly what i think it is going now it's now you're standing in the right in the right leg so i can scan you and you can scan makes i actually. i now see something moving when. when when they walking i see something moving so i guess so yeah and it's a you know a little i mean big nice big so you can tell the difference in people in that sense
12:42 pm
. even in the four months he's had the device it's great to hear the difference it's made to urines life while my orientation is it's a little bit better i feel safer and i'm more confident now. that. two weeks after the surgery fred has recovered enough to have the device turned on for the first time jessica nice to meet you you excited about today. yes a little bit from what we did yes what you hope to achieve this afternoon i hope. that i see your face ok. so you are as well you are well good looking. well you are fear of closeness with the camera ok i'm recording it transfer me. to the cable through the feed you and if you sense back to the call. i'm thinking it would be
12:43 pm
a video processing unit or something else yes they're going to do you know to turn off. of that. just. let's turn to the one in your. room. i think i. could not show you what i see here things are called friends brain has to learn to process this. image which it's and that will take time so you just try to live and you will see and hear on the screen there's an approximation of what the camera just said i'm here to move around for and. i see myself on the computer.
12:44 pm
he sees the peaks but this gives us a list overworked of what it means to my brain so i thought. you know it's been asleep for a while it's time to wake up. a huge part of the process for fred is to practice with a device so that his brain can learn to understand the signals it's receiving four months after it was first switched on i'm excited to see how he's getting on. for months exactly almost yes indeed it has a bit you want you want to know what but happened all the time. when we were going home at home i said all the trees that are we're really out of the tree last question. and i don't rush out and they're at home and when we put on the light in our house also i see all the lights. that fell. well amazing and on the set today she was sitting at the dinner table and i was
12:45 pm
sitting here and that's all. it was either that's really a moment that great yeah yes technique you know and. a lot of times you do one step back and doing steps forward. your you feel he'd love site ok find out what your have just turned your head you know you have to lift a friend of first beginning at the beginning you're benefiting and ok yeah there's your point that you've got a record. in the sense that's more. ok there is something you're good at and that's the end you can pinpoint is there it is but if you're seen now in the last two times see improvement already set improved so extremely so the sky's the limit it's very good. ok
12:46 pm
little just not straight don't but follow the line the. asking does it appear to me . very quick it's paramount to say it's reading go for it you've just seen a pyramid a few months ago you saw nothing but i think it's amazing. that. fred's brain will continue to learn to process the signals so there's no knowing how much his side will improve and at the same time scientists are developing the technology and software involved for people who have been living in darkness for so long the potential impact of this is enormous. discover new developments in surgery i'm going to have it up when i'm in hiroshima japan to meet the surgeon pioneering new techniques in regenerating money and could

12:50 pm
president donald trump went from no one knows what happened to jamal khashoggi to we need to find out we do everything we want to see what's going on here it's a bad situation it's a very serious situation. with this way to do. what is going on now will be the subject of an official investigation after twenty two senators. sent this letter to the white house invoking the magnitsky act it gives the administration four months to determine if the show g.'s human rights were violated and if so by law they will have to place sanctions potentially on people high up in the saudi government the outcry is bipartisan and growing and that this man was murdered inside a consulate in istanbul that would cross every line. in the international community . if it did happen it would be held if saudi arabia took a u.s. resident emerging into a consulate and killed him it's time for the united states to rethink our military

turkish media has released surveillance camera video of the suspects has more on the investigation from istanbul. it's with every day that goes by more and more information is coming out with regards to what's happened to. the. side from publishing the pictures of the fifteen saudi nationals who the turkish authorities believe form the hit squad that's went after. after he entered that building behind me on that fateful tuesday we understand their job titles in fact this is their identities amongst them is the head of the forensic units in the saudi defense forces and intelligence officer who used to be based in the saudi arabian embassy in london as well as several special forces officers all flew in on that tuesday now they left istanbul less than twenty four hours after arriving some of them on private jets now these fifteen had booked four nights at hotels nearby but left
12:53 pm
very suspiciously very quickly that on top of other information including terror traffic camera video from over one hundred fifty cameras across is the ball and other information that the police have is what led them to the conclusion that she was assassinated i learnt earlier that amongst the evidence that is with the investigation is testimony to from inside the consulate at the time that i was there which includes sounds of loud scream and shouting as well as calls for help and a sound of a struggle and then sudden silence now the turks have requested to enter the building to search it and despite reports that they were given approval initially what i understand from speaking to sources is that the chore casualties have not been given approval to search it in the way or with the team that they would like on top of that they also would like to search the home of the consul general which is a few hundred meters from here where a vehicle left the embassy off the german hundred answered by
12:54 pm
a couple hours it was a tinted van and went to his house. they have also asked to search some of these vehicles that are registered to the consulates however they have also given approval now one of the theories behind why the turkish authorities still haven't told me come out and revealed all the evidence is because the moments they officially declare this on camera own up to the leaks that have been coming that must be coupled with a political decision and most likely that's will include downgrading their diplomatic relation and possibly even expelling some ambassadors or diplomatic staff here it seems that they're seeing trying to see some sort of way out of this that would maybe make it a bit easier and not make out the fallout so hard but so now that's consensus hasn't been reached the bill corey is a former u.s. diplomat and former deputy chief of mission in yemen he says the case stands out because it brings home the real nature of saudi role to the american public. the
12:55 pm
pressure is building our work quickly and i think it will continue building up until this administration takes some action. i know that this is very shocking news but at the same time it is rather expected by the also was for no or this regime a regime which has jailed women activists as large a young poet for writing something on facebook and as executive she our clerics who are being opposition to the one hundred this regime has also devastated yemen and also. and this administration have been totally insensitive to the suffering of millions of yemenis so frankly it doesn't surprise me that there is you would do something like that but doing it to an
12:56 pm
individual who has become prominent mainstream in the u.s. and worse than media brings the story home to many and not just in government but also out there in the public and i think the pressure will build up a u.s. senator from both parties are questioning a trap administration support for the saudi amrani like coalition fighting in yemen want to share and civilians are being protected and jordan has more from the u.s. state department in washington. well a letter that has been sent to the secretary of state mike pompei o is basically calling into question his decision last month in september to certify that the saudi government and the u.a.e. government are both using the adequate precautions in order to make certain that yemeni civilians are not being killed during the air war that's being conducted against the rebels this certification it was mandated by congress and so the
12:57 pm
deadline was coming up in september and so because of the concerns of the u.s. is national security and its financial relationships with these two countries when it comes to weapons sales the secretary of state reportedly made the decision to issue the certification well according to a number of news reports that was a controversial decision both within the trumpet ministration as well as on capitol hill and so what these congressional leaders who are very active on foreign policy have done is asked for a reconsideration of the certification asking for you fuller explanation because they say that especially in light of the august airstrike in which forty young schoolchildren were killed just north of sanaa the capital of yemen they say that they don't believe that the saudi led coalition is doing enough to prevent civilian casualties in the yemeni civil war. at least ten people have died in flash floods
