want to see you try getting people in particular kate a grave is ok to ask her how even if you were directly affected these things these images that people are saying they are really really difficult to proceed some injured in the attack have now left christchurch hospital after treatment that many remain some in critical condition the medical staff say that tired but proud of the way they've responded to what was an unprecedented number of gunshot wounds gunshot injuries aren't uncommon for us we normally see want to a month and we normally see one to two critically injured contract i should say year or so but six not last three years but to get forty eight in one day is exceptional having to be exceptional for any hospital in the world actually the mosques where the attacks took place are still under police guard but people are hoping they'll reopen in time for friday prayers most of the focus now is on cleaning and reconstruction of the mosques worshippers want to be able to return for what would be difficult emotional and poignant friday prayers but they also

don't want any physical reminders of what happens the prime minister has announced that friday's call to prayer will be broadcast on television and radio around new zealand and then two minute silence will be held to honor those who were killed wayne hay al jazeera christchurch. and in an interview with al-jazeera the prime minister just in the audience said she was deeply concerned by the shootings thomas reports from christchurch. since last friday's attack the always of the world to be the new zealand and its prime minister. has only been in the job seventeen months and never expected the horror of what happened last friday speaking to al-jazeera she says she appreciates the sympathy the country's received we feel all of the support and condolences said of being shared with us from around the world and particularly. from the. the global muslim community and i think

on behalf of new zealand and perhaps of the new zealand muslim community i say thank you for that support we have we have found it very strongly our durned says she's all too aware how people at prayer with the targets of last week's attack if so confronting to us this new zealanders that it happened in that place of peace the worship we are you know that our muslim community would have been a place of deep contemplation when it was so clearly targeted at the him and talk to tag it became while they were shipping there i find deeply confronting the prime minister says the government was motivated by hate and ideology and that makes him a terrorist for me the case for using the word terrorists is a fairly clear this was a terrorist act this was a direct tech a very directed take a deliberate attempt on new zealand's muslim community we should call that what it

is although that except race is still a geology exists in the country absolutely acknowledges even though this terrorist act was committed by someone who was not a new zealander we cannot ignore that as many nations do that there are those in new zealand albeit small who will share the ideology of this attack a and we must root that out she says social media needs to be better policed globally and she'll give details of the proposals to tighten gun laws later this week it's my belief that when we come to announce the decisions that have been made by us as a government i actually believe that new zealanders who currently hold guns for legitimate use that they will be with us that they will ebb salute least see the need for the reform that we're proposing and why it is being proposed you don't have a terrorist act like this happen on your soil and not ask yourself the question did i. how gun laws contribute to the sin if they did let's change the prime minister

says to mark the passing of a week since the attack a two minute silence will be held mention wide on friday along with the broadcast of the muslim cool to prove their message that i'm sharing is actually just a message on behalf of the new zealand people we are an inclusive peaceful nation we are a people and grieving alongside our muslim community. that is who we are and that is simply what i'm communicating andrew thomas al jazeera christians still has on the program amnesty international says these satellite images show the u.s. military was responsible for civilian deaths in somalia. and will find out how much is of flowers have created a superbly human parts of california attracting thousands of vistas.

results but also search adverts now those adverts are placed there by brokers such as google's ad sense platform which competes with microsoft and yahoo and other platforms in the marketplace. from two thousand and six google started using its market dominance to insist a third party website searches would exclusively show google adverts that was later changed to a demand that google ads would simply get premium placement there was no reason for google to includes these restrictive crosses in their contracts except to keep rivals out of the market. and this is why we concluded that between two thousand and six and two thousand and sixteen google's behavior was illegal and the e.u. actually trust rules google has issued a statement saying we've always agreed that healthy thriving markets are in everyone's interests we've already made a wide range of changes to our products to address the commission's concerns over

what people want to. understand better be on the way we are inside the brain. space. in recent years researchers have been studying the potential benefits of micro dosing psychedelic drugs such as l.s.d. and d.n.a. also known as ecstasy as treatments for p.t.s.d. schizophrenia and depression associated with cancer treatments last year the u.s. food and drug administration approved the use of an ingredient found in magic mushrooms for a drug trial and treating depression opponents say the research on psychedelics is too new and limited to be reliable. well joining us to discuss all this in new york dr will see you he's a psychiatrist trained in m.d.m.a. assisted psychotherapy and provides ketamine facilitated psychotherapy as part of

his private practice in brooklyn new york journalist well not new york journalist in brooklyn new york eyes its list and author nicholas powers his book the ground below zero details his own personal experiences with psychedelics and in davis california davis also he's an assistant professor of chemistry biochemistry and molecular medicine at the university of california davis and in santa cruz california barrios are close in ski she's the director of research development and regulatory affairs at the multidisciplinary association for psychedelic studies or maps lots of acronyms lots of words there but very welcome to all of you good to have you here everybody asked if you have a psychedelic feel to it but. i did. take recreational drugs you have taken really synthetics pick one of your choice and can you describe the experience of that does it feel like this also my house. well that's a huge compliment. so yes taking. drugs that i will choose.

the experience of taking it is. feeling your thoughts in your ego dissolves in feeling emotionally open to the people around you and also to the sensory input around you soup in front of a speaker a party feel the vibrations of the soon seem to reach your bones and even into your soul you look at people's faces in you and those dive into the emotions like a swimmer going into a pool. and you are going through an emotionally hard time you can experience those emotions very vividly and possibly work through them and at the end of the trip feel like a much more integrated hurling compassionate person because you don't see that so this is just you know one personal example and i'm sure there's you know many

others that people could talk to well i ask the right questions about the experience of taking a hidden synthetic what else to know would it be the same as in time well you know we use this term set and setting depending where a person is when they take something internally and where they are. physically outside of themselves you know so i think of you know psychedelics as they've been coming into the mainstream of really been looking at the medical use of them right so it's a little different than saying you know are we focusing on the imagery and what we're seeing around us as opposed to if we're sitting in a therapist office with an eye mask in music it's going to be a very different experience and i'm just i'm just curious when you talk about that i mean you know we've we've seen this before in history we have a comment from the mayor saying if i recall correctly research on psychedelics was once hip in the mid twentieth century then uncool and supposedly now moving back into the mainstream what's behind the fluctuation in popularity i mean here we are having this conversation but dr you just mentioned you know that it's now in the

mainstream sort of what attribute that to i attribute that to us being really end up in a place and time especially in the western or. we are suffering tremendously personally from mental illness from depression from anxiety and we don't have solutions even though pharmacology meaning medications promised psychiatry in a way in the ninety's that this is going to be a revolution and that's been a failing us and that and then i think that is reflected you know the unhealthy mental health state of the western world is reflected in our politics we're seeing things get more violent both nationally and abroad and i think because we're hungry for real solutions that's why we really see psychedelics being as popular and getting as much attention as they are getting because we have not seen results in psychiatry that have shown anything near what psychedelics are helping people with that i should a little bit of light on yet that has been shed a little bit of light on that actually so i think that hunger for

a better world was present in the sixty's as well but really what changed was in one thousand nine hundred two there was a really critical meeting. where they agreed to treat psychedelics just like any other novel medicine that was being developed through clinical trials and they allowed these trials to happen through their pilot programs. and say i was the international viewers that's the food and drug administration in the united states right and just to be clear like the u.s. has a huge impact locally on the drummer and drive policies and you know had been enforcing that route or globally you know up until that point and so it only makes sense that the ability to do this research would have to come from the u.s. and be allowed within the u.s. and in our it actually happens david you're the chemist and i called the solution in re i'll see if you would help us out these are lies what is happening in your

brains and he sent us a couple of pictures about what's happened to our brain when taking a hallucinogenic picture number one always seems to see on sky and then you can tell us what is happening here and then what is happening here. sure so what you're looking at are tracings of neurons that were either treated with the controlled substance which is the h. and neurons treat it with the psychedelic compound known is and i'm not for tryptamine appreciate it d.m.t. and what our research group has found is that psychedelic compounds tend to promote the growth of neurons in a very important part of the brain called the prefrontal cortex the prefrontal cortex has a critical role in regulating fear and mood and and reward so more nuance. of the brain in the well being than feeling. so it's not

actually the number of neurons the it's really the ability of these neurons to connect to each other and to communicate with other regions of the brain you know we have a lot of comments about this people talking about their personal experiences with some of these substances but also some questions for me barbara smith saying in the right setting with a non-intrusive guide for safety the psychedelic drugs are useful for anxiety depression p.t.s.d. in terminally ill patients and even those who are just stuck and you know nicholas when you spoke earlier you know you talked about dissolving the ego we hear barbara talk about being stuck a lot of people who've battled mental illness who are writing us talk about this this idea of being stuck is it true as horace's is suggesting that shrooms has the potential of permanently altering one's brain chemistry and is that why you get unstuck if you will. i can i just a question of being stuck more than the chemistry question but just to give you one

example from my life. the most powerful psychedelic experience that i had was in two thousand and two and it was the year after nine eleven so i was in new york had i was going to new york i came back in a month later the towers fell so then i went to an art has the will and my body was very traumatized the anger the fear even the guilt and the rage all of it was cleared up inside and when i went in to the festival i met someone also from new york who gave me some psychedelics and when i took them i felt all of that anger all of that rage all of that fear. getting unstuck from my body and flowing out and when i came back to the city i could feel how much more lose open i was compared to the other new yorkers who are still living in the in the shadow of the toads so that's just one experience out of many others but yeah so for me i do want to be

like ok go ahead sorry i'm going to say that what happened there is that you're not you're having the subjective experience of something is changing in your brain you'd say that feeling of sadness is essentially are your neurons tend to signal a specific circuits certain regions of your brand communicate with other regions preferentially and. it can lead to this feeling of being stuck or in a rut and with psychedelics you know it's also as described in michael pollan book it's almost like you have this powdery look to ski down and meet you haven't laid for a few connections between your neurons and this is particularly why dr olsen's work out a hole because it is the first time we've seen direct evidence of this so data like i don't know that is so i think. is that you know because when you ask the question about shroom do shrooms get you on stock what one thing that i try to emphasize to

people whether it's my colleagues or patients is that you know it's not just the shrooms it's not just the substance people have been taking these alone and it's also not just the psychotherapy right psychotherapy has also been around for a long time it's psychedelic assisted psychotherapy or m.d.m.a. assisted but they're both things combined that are really being helpful to people because you know i think it's an important thing and it's a it's an approach of combining a medicine during psychotherapy that is new and novel to psychiatry i want to say what i want to know is what do we know. absolutely certain that happens to the brain and in terms of sarah palin connect those two things david i know you in your lap and working on this tell us about one of the research and studies that. give weight to psychedelics helping also all maybe went away from that. so you know i wish i could tell you that we know exactly how these substances work but we simply do not we need a lot more research i can tell you about i think one of the prevailing hypotheses

in the field and if you look at the structure of the brain for people who are depressed or have a related to a psychiatric disease you see this actually of neurons in the prefrontal cortex now pretty much every antidepressant that we know of tends to be grow these neurons they just do it on a time scale that correlates with their efficacy in the clinic so slow acting antidepressants and the regrow neurons more slowly something like ketamine rapidly grows these connections and what we found lately is that classic certain nerves and psychedelics like l.s.d. are done of the tryptamines more produced a very similar effect of ketamine and this is the normal just kind of tell me that it discusses that is a medication that. is put into anesthesiologists that kind of dampen your feelings as it was a better description of thomas. i'm sorry i couldn't get it right you are going to give us a layman's a a description a terrible. ketamine is a is

a dissociative anaesthetic it's used in that mary medicine in and in people as well like um but recently i don't think i said is that is that too heavy handed some say it's a tranquilizer so it says you could use that but that term low doses which is what is typically used for depression the f.d.a. action this recently approved as a treatment. but then she referred to there is this depression and you know a lot of people writing us funny or talking about trauma we've talked about that you go we've talked about trauma we've talked about depression p.t.s.d. but i'm curious horace is saying personally even though i haven't tried any before that i would love to i feel psychedelics have the potential of deepening our understanding of human consciousness now i know we haven't said that we understand exactly what these substances do and why there are trials but is that ring true with you based on what yet we have a lot of exploratory gate and that we collect in addition to just you know the

level of severity of. p.t.s.d. or trauma symptoms and these definitely support what he's saying and that people feel more saw compassion they go through and experience of an altered or not ordinary state of consciousness during the after act the psychedelic at suffer but then afterwards they're able to take away a you know new meaning in their own lives and this is particularly where you know we're talking about the psychotherapy and really supporting and promoting this and . so the psychotherapy actually helps to reinforce what's learned and makes it durable mortar and long lasting and we have data going out for most studies at twelve months later and one study we have data going out an average of three and a half years later where people. literally report being you know feeling very

similarly to how they get at the end of this that he said that durable improvement with only you know between one and three exposures to a drug it's all is really powerful and the only reason it's able to do that is because of the psychotherapy paradigm which activates learning and memory based mechanisms in the brain and this is what's shown to be required for the neural plasticity that dr also has been showing in animals and it is you know petri dish experiments. so i want to and i think something i'm going to show people how this actually setting because they may be having all sorts of images about how do you say sincerity so this is the organization that barrel is part of the most display association the psychedelic studies. have suggested different like little do season it builds up over time but in this kind of setting delta well i know you've tried. to and how does it help. you know so i had that was what i

wanted to share is yes i mean i. both a medical doctor and i have a ph d. in basic you know in a laboratory science and at the same time i spent four and a half years doing psychotherapy three to four times a week to try to really help myself i mean was tremendously valuable but around that time i actually got a chance to use m.d.m.a. in a therapeutic setting legally with math and there was a piece of loneliness that had sat with me since age of like nine from childhood physical trauma that i was finally able to work through you know in the not just during the the m.d.m.a. experience i think the m.d.m.a. experience allows us to access old memories old emotions and that's when we talk about it altering consciousness or giving access to not non ordinary states of consciousness but it was really in the weeks after it continued psychotherapy that i was able to really come to peace at that and for the first time you know that was at the age of thirty seven from nine to thirty seven i had felt loneliness almost

every single day of my life to the point of suicide sometimes and within a month of taking m.d.m.a. in that setting i was free from the neck and say two years later i don't suffer from that anymore if i can interject i mean you're talking about loneliness and some of these emotions obviously that anyone feels and can relate to you there when they're depressed or when you go takes too much control of decision making that's a least that's my personal experience but we also have another grad student who could relate to what you said dr and what you laid out their names erica avi take a listen to her experience. my kiddo seeing it helped me become more comfortable just in the world and getting out into the world and appreciating life again and as someone who deals with depression swings that's a pretty radical change but for the my closing actually i could spend days in my. friends not even. and that doesn't happen anymore. i think my going to see how

we become more aware of my thoughts my feelings my body my surroundings and become better to care myself i don't think the drug itself cured me of my depression in the long run and i don't think any drug could but i think it helped me implement all the daily little things i can do to stay balanced. what comes to mind i mean does that resonate with you because elizabeth rainey is asking flat out you know we have a lot of people commenting on this topic on you tube saying can psychedelics be the alternative to some of those traditional medicines we all know prozac value and other into depressants. so the difference between you know psychedelics and something going prozac is that you can take prozac home with you and put it in your medicine cabinet the issue with psychedelics is that they're stuck to one compounds and they're currently illegal and so due to the the perceptual changes when you take a pill listen to gen they also publish it be administered under the care of

a doctor and so i think that they offer an incredible potential. as as a therapeutic in the clinic. but i think that we need a lot more research before we get to that point not to add to that in terms of safety because it's not really a requirement that they have to be given by a doctor i mean i can speak to some of the side effects that we've observed in our data and it's things like you know and some anxiousness depressive symptoms these are things that people already have when they come to studies it's just that in some cases they may be slightly exacerbated and the other side you know potential side effects that we see are like dizziness some not. muscle tightness and so these are not safety concerns at the level that would require you know ongoing direct oversight by a doctor it's really the psychotherapy that's really needed and so we need quality by psychotherapists like copter dr shu that you know i have been really trained in

how to deliver this knowing that knowing what they know about the medicine itself and using that as a tool to enhance the psychotherapy so yes i agree with you they're not going to be taken medicines because the psychotherapy is really what is making that and i'm having lasting and durable that's you can still. do not just comment on that is to pay it off i agree that it's psychotherapy could definitely enhance the effects but you know some of our results suggest that even without psychotherapy. you know in rodent models these compounds have beneficial effects on their own and you know are common like m.d.m.a. that doesn't produce robust solution nations like a compound such as oh it's the it's going to have a very different safety kind of profile but if you're producing really drastic changes in perception usually while you're under that experience you should be in

a supportive setting to help you overcome anything and so that the fact that you have to be in a doctor's office with this is as an additional cost to it. as opposed to something that you could take on but in your head the advice adds to the cost of their treatment but i also think that with this you know increase in neural plasticity what we're really seeing as i am and by are meant that context it and get back as well so this is why i think we see pretty marked differences between use and recreational settings where people might be not sleeping their problem staying up on i you know overheating. all these things actually you know activate similar commies and that can be safety concerns but if it's and in a controlled setting like you're saying i'm a doctor also and then i think the rich the risks are really manageable on and

that's why all of us will miss running out of time as i want to say the survey this is a it's a headline that comes from a study in the last few weeks a new era of psychology. psychedelic drug trial could change how we treat mental illness again it's a very small study but i'm wondering delta well as there are other places around the world relief they're making progress in terms of psychedelic drugs and lose a little therapy. and you're saying just yeah i mean barrack it probably speaks more to that in terms of i mean there i know there are active studies in europe and australia. so i thought i'd let vera take care of that question she and she knows that yeah actually we are we are actively pursuing approval it with after being in israel and canada and seven different countries in europe including the u.k. which may want not longer be here anymore after we. have tons of children to another topic vera. and we're also supporting studies of the man zion say.

you have a seventy. sabera and when you bring up those countries i mean many people think of jamaica as the land where cannabis and marijuana is legal in fact it is illegal but what is legal in jamaica is some of these psychedelics like magic mushrooms so it's contains that ingredient we've been discussing let's listen to eric and what's going on in treasure beach in jamaica but whose are. host of these cells on chronicles august and founder and c.e.o. of michael meditations a legal citizen retreat center and treasuries jamaica in the last three years we've worked with over one hundred clients suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder crippling zaya the treatment resistant person or facing their own mortality and nearly every single case we're seeing massive improvements in the quality of the individual's life clearly so sudden mushrooms are

a powerful medicine. stunning. example of an experience that you've had in and explain to us how psychedelic what you he were talking to our audience and in the conversation what would you say the benefits from. that. second alex to help put the different parts of one's psyche together they can also actually help. a family together oftentimes families are driven to pipe a secret or seem used to drugs or experiment they don't tell the elders in their family that others may be a repeat of getting older and of their mortality but they're not telling the people who are younger in their family and i think that psychedelics when talked about more openly even within families can actually create more unity more level more support and i think they can change the culture not just in a family but in a neighborhood in

a nation will help us talk about psychedelics will openly read negatively of delta will there's no actually because i'm at the end of the show and i'm not is that we are very hard to talk to well actually thank you very much nicholas and david and that was absent to stink on the satellite i want to will see you on t.v. the watching everybody. used properly can be a beautiful sight. and

court in the hague carriage was appealing against his twenty sixteen conviction for genocide which he was given forty years behind bars but the judges said that sentence for these children it's a massacre in one thousand nine hundred five was too light given the gravity of his crimes i families of the victims of seventy eight's are celebrated the sentencing watching it from the memorial to those who died more than eight thousand muslim men and boys were massacred in the genocide at the bosnian town by the bosnian serb army so you're going to go has more from the hague. it's not just for the relatives of the victims that it's significant for but also exactly. that underlines the the justice meted out to a rod of iron carriage which for the crimes that he committed when he was the de facto bosnian serb leader and that includes he accused of genocide

a war crimes crimes against humanity and in fact when the prosecutor when the tribunal stated that he his sentence hadn't been wasn't enough then that really was a relief to a lot of the relatives who were outside here who wanted for there to be this prosecution they wanted to see that sentence passed down to him for life behind bars as well but it's also in effect a very important case for the international tribunals and it underlines one of the most devastating episodes of the yugoslav wars and that is of the massacre of that ebony in which as you said more than eight thousand muslim men and boys were slaughtered at the hands of the bosnian serb forces this also has a direct implication exactly for how such defacto leaders can also be held to account for their actions during such conflicts of course there have been other
