so. one of these institutes is led by the american lawyer paul dietrich philip morris finances it with two hundred forty thousand dollars a year at the same time dietrich is a consultant for the w.h.o. regional office in america when his double role becomes known dietrich moves into the finance industry he won't agree to talk to me in the w.h.o. report on the strategies of the tobacco industry six other consultants are mentioned the british toxicologist frank sullivan for instance claims that passive smoking doesn't harm your health his study on the subject is financed by philip morris. in the year two thousand sullivan's collaboration with the tobacco industry becomes public but he still continues to advice. i mean with two

department leaders commenting tobacco under the auspices of the w.h.o. we have a zero tolerance approach as i said the director general says the tobacco industry is our number one and i would say and we wear that badge very proudly is franks i live in still it. absolutely and i mainly have it and they have a they can't because the names of all those persons are well known through the documents but that now i don't believe in and consented to w.h.o. for example in two thousand and two let's say. not that i'm aware of as well too and again the policies that are in place now is that all consultants no matter whether they're working on tobacco control or infectious diseases or anywhere in the organization have to sign a declaration of interest but this means a lot of trust. they should be reviewed trust i think that you should

trust you you trust you can't just to start by already being suspicious of all the people and their capacities to do things ok thank you so much. and also. they always say ok we had a problem and there were single persons who were corrupt this was the sullivan. and so on. but i always thought it wasn't really persons and now it's over or could you say that anti us segments of. it would have all the tobacco company documents which show how major corporations operate and the pharmaceutical companies or the chemical companies do not operate any differently their obligation to their shareholders completely overwhelms any consideration of public health so these are the people that are to be h one n one push. swine flu or h one n one is presented by the w.h.o.

and in the public media as a huge threat wrongly as it later emerges. if you've been diagnosed with probable or presumed two thousand and nine and one or swine flu in recent months you may be surprised to know this the odds are you didn't have a two thousand and one flu in fact you probably didn't have flu at all. many countries including germany italy france and great britain concluded secret agreements with pharmaceutical companies before the swine flu incident which oblige them to purchase swine flu vaccinations but only if the w.h.o. issued a pandemic level six alert. the world is now at the start of the two thousand and nine influenza pandemic.

reason who. right now on the analyst. made yarden. son of. the in. the me but i pushed it. for three good minutes are not stopping to must and if you can just kind of punted me on to denise to get the. most. swine flu makes considerable profits for the manufacturer. and first quarter net. profit in the quarter rose to one point seven. billion us dollars from one point five million i tried to arrange an interview with the person responsible for swine flu at the w h. he was often on television at the time but i get an appointment with the official press spokesman eleven countries officially reporting three

hundred thirty one cases of influenza a h one n one infection with ten dearth. well the country. companies and government we have to be aware of this of course you have to be aware of everything that's going on and it is extremely easy to after the fact say well maybe not have done y. and a should not have done b. however think about the opposite what would have happened how the influenza killed fifty percent of the people it infected and there was no vaccine. and then momentum and then they latch oh no no need to go to them to get that. program to. make i meant. to eat them or not we are not a joke but and i meant no going to see another year another year in low amazing. by

cannot control upon them me including middle his solo in a maze there in a totally putting that only group but he says is the edge of a not. at the time i'm pregnant and i am airports crowds and all forms of travel public media exaggerates with words and images the danger resulting from swine flu. is how a man would be in order to get solo police gondolas pretty girls among those who won't come there. he said ready to i don't like guidelines that there were below him is it could they have declared to condemn make a level six also with the zero at the finish no. i meant to. say that is the idea sent to get them beyond. saying two years ago it did you

deal. and then me. so this is a. this was removed. before. people footage when enron. cabinet shown if you're missing the are going to the pharma industry in so far as see i know good and there's on fear china good to have a day when all of us are going to go really if you like the local to do like phone calls of all sorts of all of that is allowed by its neighbors to the or it's already that's already installed and i just us of course would like to have a vaccine tomorrow we would have wanted to have it just city in two thousand and nine miss kinealy is a member of the w.h.o. swine flu working group previously she had worked for the french pharmaceutical

company trans g the press spokesman doesn't allow me to interview her so i try to approach her directly at a conference i asked miss kinealy why the criteria of severity was deleted from the definition of a pandemic faves. to. expand. the the the truth. their. value. i. don't want to. create. the crowd we.

do. do it with us but. don't talk. it's gonna. do. i'll give you. half to. get. them into. the working group on swine flu consists of thirteen external consultants to report conflicts of interest ferguson declares consultancy fees from glaxo smith kline baxter and the manufacturers of the swine flu vaccines and medications not a problem for the. in two thousand and seven albert. right on the dutch

health commission due to his conflict of interest he declares to the. that he shares in the pharma company viral clinics which is suspected of profiting from swine flu he also declares. the chairman of w. describing it as a group of independent scientists in fact it is partly finance five. i can tell you they have no scientific meeting today organized that is not being spun that sponsored by industry and rightly so the industry is making the vaccines it's not the national institutes that are making the vaccines any longer industry's doing it i have a curious. at the moment i'm working more with the private sector as well so i started still consulting from time to time i used to working with this you scientists against influenza yes on the channels that particular organization because i saw it you declared this is

a conflict of interest. and it's not a conflict of interest but i declare also what might be perceived as a conflict of interest in him and you have to be very careful so at least if you say that and of course people can hold it against you yeah but at least i can always say and i've always done that say hugh you're at least you show what you do it was written there independent group of scientists yes when i looked under website as funded by all. says no no it's not funded by some money comes from from from vaccine produces but there's money coming from many other sources as well and that's the same with w.h.o. and a lot of other you know organisations as long as you are transparent and show what you're doing it's fine i think how is that percentage of funding i don't know exactly but there is a substantial part of the funding comes from elsewhere from meetings comes from comes from european projects come from and there is a percent just coming from industry as well and that's completely transparent so it's fine to bring it up again but for me it's free. i don't get any hard figures.

without any facts without transparency i can't make any progress here. i hear good news and i hear. that. more. stuff. not only. stuff.

and. good news and this kind of a scam. it's. in

the case of the pharmaceutical industry it's even more difficult for. them with the tobacco industry on the one hand the dollar is dependent on the pharmaceutical industries for. what the industry's financial interests mustn't damage the. health. today the pharmaceutical industry is part of the health system just like the government's. politics are losing power and that's also reflected in the financing of the w.h.o. in the one nine hundred ninety s. all countries froze their membership contributions in the wake of the financial crisis. today and organizations foundations n.g.o.s and industry contribute almost forty percent of the w.h.o.

is annual budget the second largest source of finance right after the usa is the bill and melinda gates foundation. thirty years ago and starting microsoft there was we had a very ambitious vision a computer for everyone. now i join you in seeking to achieve an even more important vision which is good health for every human being today the w.h.o. relies on voluntary contributions like that from the gates foundation but these are often linked to conditions. the w h o's annual budget amounts to about two billion dollars coca-cola spends twice that much on advertising alone and the hospitals around lake geneva spend six billion dollars a year. when it was founded the w.h.o. could decide how to distribute its funds itself now seventy percent of its budget

is tied to particular projects countries or regions. if the w.h.o. receives funding to fight malaria for example it can't use that money to combat it mona. says well that will put us in very precise words at present w.h.o. . the operational capacity of culture to deliver a full emergency public health risk. what does the director general of the w.h.o. think about that. i want to ask her what constraints she is under.

british companies have announced the biggest discovery of natural gas in west africa but what to do with these untapped natural resources is already a source of heated debate nothing much has changed they still spend most of their days looking forward to for the dry riverbed like this one five years on the syrians still feel battered or even those who managed to escape their countries haven't truly been able to escape the war. they're watching old as their arms the whole robin and these are all top news stories hundreds of french yellow vests demonstrators all back out on the streets of paris it's been more than a month since that protest movement began demonstrations across the country some of

which have turned violent of spot a political crisis under seventy as the latest. you can see everyone's dispersed there's no real massive anger here whatsoever the police have had varying tactics initially they were holding them right by the arc de triomphe then they sealed off all the streets around and brought the demonstrators into an area which they sealed off would let them let them in then different varying tactics but the conclusion to it all is that the numbers are dramatically down compared with last week palestinian president mahmoud abbas has ordered the reconstruction of an activist home which the israeli military tore down just a few hours ago palestinians are protesting the demolition in the occupied west bank saying it's a collective punishment the homeowner son is accused of killing an israeli soldier earlier this year. and there's been fighting on the outskirts of who date or less

since i can't get to speak to market jan i need one of her close advisors. perception to sink there can be an external independent review. because then you have to say who is selecting this independent expert and who is controlling their independence and who is controlling the independence of those controlling the independence. of course he is right but he is wrong you know is mixing everything up because this world is as it is and you have to do what you can to make sure that the independence of the science is as good as possible it will never ever be perfect he's quite right that he should be talking about his own i mean his is from switzerland he came straight from switzerland which is a country that is completely locked into a partnership approach and he's in charge of partnerships. so i know.

this was very keen that any.

of the risks of radioactive contamination in public. data. in. danger. keeping silent about a rise in cancer. it's difficult to find anybody who is allowed to talk to my.

matsumoto. is also a doctor and has founded a convalescent camp for children from contaminated area he was. was at the limit i knew something but isn't it chilling out a. son or she talking at that so when i was about it i was helping at the. conclusion i will commit. you know when you are cocksucker. should i think you need that you are much easier. with all the dirt from what i've just. this got a few hundred there kick you out. your door more most of the leaders joked about or using the interview did it they must. as a result of experience after turn out the w h l recommendations for iodine my revised

in the year nine hundred ninety nine under the supervision of the british scientist keefe baber stout and member of staff at the w h o l. when i started my program with w.h.o. within a few weeks i learned that there was a claim that there was a large number of thyroid cancers in children and this ended up in the mission to minsk and we saw an astonishing number of children who had been operated for thyroid cancer quite young children so to see as we did on that day when i think it was eleven twelve maybe cases in one place at one time all having been operated was really quite extraordinary. we took it from there. ben

russian colleagues i was too short papers in the journal nature to draw attention to it off to the papers were published w.h.o. me to withdraw the paper from nature. read a paper published with about five or six other people all agreeing on this position and crys lost me to redraw that paper from publication. after the being published who were cries of. geneva yes he threatened me he says if you get my career he said your career will be short and if you don't do this. unpleasant charcoal. did you have any contact with us w h o f that's a typical accident you know much a lot of them and doesn't all this resident of the go karting is gonna and will you

show me that the total you must know what i think you'll still get us as far as it goes they should have it on twenty and the means to name all that did not jiggle i say stay here. so you when you i was a successful tended to my stuff so i'm going to say says then there were so horses at least more than i thought was and all. that and all so much so i found out i don't i mean my study is so you tell them that on the net that. they misunderstand will be joining us there and then they just up they could just as soon as they all. come out of that and they misunderstand again what i have no all or nothing at the catalyst. i still find it beyond belief that naoto kan was convinced at the time that no radioactivity would emerge after the

accident. just one day after the accident a monitoring station of the organization c t b t o recorded raised levels of radioactivity two hundred kilometers from the nuclear power station. i mean. they. may be what i'm i'm. doing it the take i take. it and all. there is you don't buy that got a monkey and we. gave them on of in that vehicle and i thought he bet. if i had there was a little more of the survivor there to witness you've got a gang of money why doesn't my gym either move with the. dick when i meet their

listen i'm all i got up and i not been long so they will hike them up. and that's when this is going on all settled on another don't so they move which isn't going to do you could do to distort the weather so your weather each day and i do still do it for you to do you know what is in the studio cooks but who is right if you didn't even know this and honestly can't say it so i just got out of the the plans again so it will be an awful scene but i'm on the will call to you so if that's what that night i couldn't even think um was you know. what do you think today about iodine intake i asked the new p.r. accident well again it's more or less what was said in the video people are not taking all it on as if it were the job news authorities have not said that that should be there and they have distributed are you going tablets preposition them but have not yet i asked anyone to take them taking i don't like tablets in the

absence of i don't read a radiation is actually bad for you you need to mash i don't mind taking i don't to the exposure and i stand by that from today's point of view was the exposure given at that time in most affected areas or not you know again that's almost five years ago and i can't remember the process from day to day and certainly we would have adopted though our recommendations based on the information we were getting but there are these guidelines and it's written in yeah you should take i have been within the first six hours after a nuclear accident. that's in the air and it's also clear that it was not given in full. it's also effects i mean that's something you don't have to look up it's obvious ok.

i really think you are wasting your time on this topic and then we should move on to other topics because i only have until twelve o'clock is it that you can say something critical about the japanese government i. work on the basis of facts and if i don't have the facts and the information about your fingertips i'm not going to speculate. but in general is it possible to criticize nations i'm i'm not going to say anything more about this what she does with war no this was a general question not in relation to. well let's move on to another topic ok is it getting much difficult for you now that w h o has the us dressed. who says w h o's must trust that you. know the new york academy of science book this one. comes up with an estimate of

nine hundred eighty five thousand deaths but that is world wide between nine hundred eighty six and two thousand and four and of course that makes a dramatic contrast with what the establishment says which is still around fifty deaths and possibly four thousand cancer is. a final total. we have been in front of the world health organization headquarters in geneva for seven years now and it is a permanent peaceful protest. the other major mission is that the world health organization has never considered anything except cancer. health effects through committees or minister. as much as an inch of the mist if you use the bus or the engine yes you me here right. because it has used students. who really are sure. you know your mother thoughts

on. school. and yet they are all right here. for. the rest of. us. in prison by the church to. rescue people you are saying give me more you just want to be have to let us go to sleep. since january we know that there are other diseases one of the diseases unfortunately. it's caused us to lead disease in fatality diseases other than cancer there's a book maybe you heard about it the academy of science which was refuted by the new york academy of sciences because it's so when sound but that's not true yes if you

read the account of the statement from the new york academy of sciences and two thousand and eleven or twelve they were purely at the board and let me give you this this is from the journal of radiology monitoring review ok the york academy of sciences which talks about all the flaws of that ok ok so i should also if you something in her book review by independent to you. yeah yeah. ok we read this and then we meet again. hello this is me and frank what does it mean exactly that the new york academy of science repudiate the chairman bill book the editor tells me that the academy never repudiated the book he permits me to record the phone call but later he withdraws his permission is in the able to speak freely either. perhaps the publisher of the

chernobyl book can help me. or in a good morning the original contact person at the new york cademy of sciences you know agreed to publish the book and then there was a big truck to the new york academy and they didn't think it was a good idea and i suspect that they were pressured by the nuclear industry but i don't know for sure. the influence of the nuclear industry. the international atomic energy agency. wants to promote the safe and peaceful use of atomic energy.

the w.h.o. is concerned with health these are different priorities but the two organisations are working closely together. for example together with other un organisations they are compiling a report on the health consequences of her novel. i'm a critic. and they. tended not to invite critics for their two reports one of. the thing was that the would be whole series of going on between w. h. o. and i a quite senior levels very senior levels. and they would. pre-determined what the line they would take. that's why they had a w.h.o.

stroke. meeting in riyadh two thousand and five. to put the line across this is a this is what we're going to do the trouble was that many many people came. near out works at the w.h.o. she's responsible for the risks of radioactive contamination i deliberately make an appointment to see her in paris the press department won't get in the way here to make sure she agrees to see me i don't tell her what i want to talk about until we first meet. is like a lot of them said we've seen that there have been one that's the. one that's come on. this is because they love one of their own. and then their money out of one million this is it but this is because they are looking at

a broader patch of population one view that you think you can hide one billion but seriously yes but do you seriously take course you have more thoroughly this request how can you seriously believe that accident caused fifty deaths not only needs it but it's still under websites. so we wrote the other report. and the initials are t o r c h which is torch we said right away that we expected somewhere between thirty and sixty thousand altogether worldwide future death because the plume from chernobyl went right round the world. the northern hemisphere and whiles the concentrations were low far far away it doesn't matter because the world many many millions of people there are six hundred million people and europe alone. and they were all affected even if it's

all kinds of it is at sea in the vein that's you'll see even five caning if you hadn't mentioned also had that it often in that you'll in the soviet union. we were not using cancer mortality figures but rather the incidence is because as you know most of the concepts can now be treated in therefore there will not mortality associated i don't know whether you have not is but our health risk assessment is only with the log of but i mean if it once heard of the experts

belong to a year this is kind of anticipating that those estimates from i.e. are not on the best of their science which is the case i don't think they were there to represent any interest i mean it was criticised that there was no caller just on our radio biologist also no scientist who published critical articles on has effect of nuclear energy but when you need to do as difficult poort is not a question of printing an activist the from the left we have an activist a from the right wing is a question of science what's happening is that there are groups outside that they want to use those us events to say you see nuclear energy is easy is bad is dangerous why with long to stop the use of the nuclear energy which is a different cost doing anything it could also be the other way around that nuclear industry tries to or not to tell the whole truth about it has impacts absolutely i have no doubt for sure we are there and we are doing the best

that we can and with the support of everybody who need to recognise that there is a need for a global public health. better to have institutions having the good sense i mean with weight. and powerful institution it would be the best for all of us and i would fight for that for the rest of my life. convenes a health officer and i think my record accurately it's that if we need to fight i'm not afraid. a scientist in the united states this past spring made the observation that this generation of children. is the first generation in modern history. this is not going to be as healthy as their parents. that should not be. what do i do with this knowledge now go out on the streets together with

independent who are just go home and dan. and i at the end now is there any real and margaret chan carries on. right. it's over to you folks who would like to start the round of questions. is it on. ok million frank over media it's a question to dr chan we have just learned that area if you. are and climate change global health challenges but i'm asking myself how can we meet him if he is constantly losing power important no nine nations may want to weak. one could

even compared to the titanic i would say so isn't it your responsibility dr chan to step down before the end of your second term an audit to signal to the well that your organization your ship is sinking you as an excellent question if i tell you that big toe as an organization only thirty percent of my budget is predictable funds other seventy percent i have to take a hat and go around the world to beg for money. and when they give us the money they are highly linked to their preferences but they like it may not be the priority of the big so if we do not solve this you know we're not going to escalate to be as great as we were.

when the shots came from the holiday and we heard cracks we heard some noise. this was no no sniper alley was on in the most dangerous intersections and side able. it didn't come in through the front entrance that was what happens to people who were shot they came into the wrong entrance the nightly pyrotechnics of the furniture to come remember shouldn't scare the hell out of your sorry a vow holiday and war hotels on outages era.

beneath pink skies by the taj mahal. or is the sunsets in the city of angels. now the storm system that started generating beautiful clouds a few days ago is still there is nobody's more significant rain north of the plates or more today hundred seventy eight in the beaches in twenty four hours that's enough for some flash flooding it will run away but you know significant rain it's been around for a day or two it's largely going offshore now but you follow the same week is in the atmosphere and that brings you showers in northern argentina and believe you're down towards the coast near lima the chance of lima getting rain or pretty spalls very dry city but typically there will be a certain amount of rain up in the higher ground inland the same is true for ecuador and northern brazil much of central parts of brazil drawing a shower too is possible in rio and north of cayenne probably draws wealth of venezuela and colombia as is true through most of the caribbean but we have seen

a lot of heavy rain in the last week it was in honduras not much then as you can see but you also see that line of grays tricky comes from the gulf of mexico another front is light to enhance the rain potential and once again we're heading into honduras and maybe got somalia as a place to get most of that rain but the tail end will also bring some pretty heavy showers to the cayman islands western cuba and of course florida and the bahamas. the weather sponsored by cattle and always. medieval western society it was a feudal society that detail if you keep the lot of them all and as soon as the poll ended his speech some people stood up and said god will sit down and the entrance to the city was horrific they killed people in the streets in their houses and in. the crusades and arab perspective the sold one shot at this

time on al-jazeera. with bureaus spanning six continents across the globe. al-jazeera as correspondents live and breathe the stories they tell have. no i could never have the letters. were at the mercy of the russian camp for palestinian direct i'll just zero fluent in world news. this is al-jazeera. alarms the robin you're watching the al-jazeera news our life my headquarters here

in doha coming up in the next sixty minutes scuffles under arrest says please try to stop another weekend of anti-government protest from turning violent in paris also. is there or crime committed by the government to say goodbye and got thirty years in the hour the chief palestinian negotiator criticizes israel for demolishing the home of a well known activist and. has disputed a prime minister resigns but there's no guarantee it will end the political crisis . and five years after the world's youngest nation descended into civil war we have south sudanese refugees if they think they'll ever see their homes again. welcome to the news are hundreds of french yellow vests demonstrators back out onto the streets of paris it'll be more than a month since the protest movement began the demonstrations across the country some

of which have turned violent began as a rallying cry against fuel tax increases they've since grown into a wider movement against president emanuel mccraw now he's announced tax cuts sounding come in income tax increases for the working poor and elderly people saying that he's heard their anger but police put people on the minimum wage will earn around one hundred fifty dollars more a month starting in january while taxes on overtime pay will be scrapped also retirees earning less than two thousand two hundred dollars a month will no longer have to pay a recent increase in social security taxes so protesters have welcome back holds concessions as a good first step but critics are denouncing what they see as half measures which are too little too late to cross over to paris where cost of bernard smith is following the story and of course yellow vests protesters started to gather early on in the day was the situation like so far.

well so i'm in front of the past a lot at the opera house just behind me which is one of the main gathering points this weekend of the yellow bus protestors i'd say there's about a thousand or so people here it is essentially peaceful but a little bit tense because all every road out of the square has been blocked off by the front right police there and they're blocking off this road just behind me there as well on the water come. at the ready should they need to use it but it is essentially a peaceful gathering although the numbers i think are down on last week significantly while the numbers might be down the disruption in central paris remains the same many metro lines many matters stations closed trains terminating early going to get from one side of paris to the other you can't unless you take a taxi and while not far from me is on the main department stores of paris they're open this week but

a lot of places that cafe latte opposite has got boarded. windows like a lot of other places in case is going to be any trouble a lot of these businesses have closed down again on a very important saturday just before christmas so i'm going to bring that up actually burn it because often we're ten days away from the huge. christian festival of course. this is most important time for businesses they need to make their money now obviously you've been across paris these last few days you've got to see sort of how businesses and people feel about the way this protest has developed a real concern about what could have happened or could happen today. well one of the business federations in front so is that even last week just before this weekend and last weekend they lost a billion dollars worth of trade more than a billion dollars worth of business in the run up to christmas warmness federation of small and medium sized businesses as the overall cost could be about ten billion

dollars to the french economy we've spoken to restaurants who've lost between fifty ninety percent of their business on a saturday this is small businesses can little afford to lose that sort of business and with stalkers so spoken to hotels who seem bookings drop twenty to fifty percent in some hotels and bookings ahead of a new year whenever you want to everyone wants to spend new year in paris people being put off to the counselling those bookings as well so the other best protesters message why. the numbers may be low the message is getting through because they're still managing to cause major disruption right at the heart of paris and the government and they're still not satisfied with the concessions present my comments but we'll leave it there for now burned of course follow events through the day with you thanks a lot now the israeli army has demolished the home of a prominent palestinian activist in the occupied west bank protesters have criticized the destruction of the teeth out. collective punishment and there have

been clashes with soldiers across the territory more than a hundred people have been injured and one killed in the past twenty four hours that are actually going to reports now from the refugee camp on the outskirts of. the booms of sound bombs echoed and the smoke of tear gas formed clouds above l m r a refugee camp on saturday morning israeli soldiers stormed the camp to demolish the home one of the sons islam is in prison for allegedly throwing a cinder block from a roof and killing an israeli soldier last may despite being illegal according to international law demolitions of palestinian homes are a common tactic used by the israeli military human rights groups say it's an unjust form of collective punishment when an item is the international community that the international community is backing israel they are not set to fast with the palestinian cause the abu have made family has become
