1:01 pm
the side of the public they just wanted over with i agree she said it may yet be far from over because if she loses that folk next week and she doesn't get her short extension the e.u. may indeed force a long extension of britain to avoid no deal and she said again this evening that she as prime minister would not countenance an extension beyond june thirtieth put all that together and you get to the point where if a deal is voted down next week that could in turn be the end of to resume and now a new leaders will discuss what to do next in the brics and crisis on thursday long flea has more from brothel. when sarees m a has to address the e.u. twenty seven the other members of the european union at the start of that silks on thursday afternoon the woman question the guns of yachting carries what happens if you'll deal fails again for the third time of the start of next week because they're only prepared at the moment to countenance an extension to back seats if

a deal policies and there's every likelihood that it won't they will say to her i'm sure what happens if it fails are you actually prepared at the end of next week for the u.k. to leave the european union with no deal it's all despite the fact the u.k. pollens voted against it now twice despite all the economic damage that would pose to the u.k. the republic of ireland the netherlands and other bordering countries to the u.k. despite the fact that it would be mean the reimposition of the hall border. on the island of islands and all the violence so that could lead to their going to say the reason why is that actually what your intention is and they going to have to try to get some sort of straight answer from a because it's based on that's on so that they then have to consider whether or not to have another emergency summit literally in the two days will direct it supposed to happen and potentially protect olen from a new deal by proposing an even longer extension and for some reason most repaired soko for that so many unanswered questions for the european point of view at the
1:03 pm
moment they're trying to get some clarity from some reason might but at the moment this seems still to be no plan b. for what she proposed proposing to do if she loses her deal for the time. still ahead on the bothersome. run this is a victim's reactions you ran a p.r. job just increased the jail sentence of former bosnian serb leader bad of that catch life from president asks for telling how millions of young first time fortunes could make a difference in thailand's election. hello yesterday watching a declining storm centered over took minister there's still a circulation here as you can see not far away from baku this case the other one

structural change as a whole. future ford says it's an alternative to the entrenched political parties and will cut the military's budget messages that ring true with younger voters. but most of these young voters live in thailand's urban areas that means the party lacks the support and brule areas that it needs to have for a chance at election victory and most opinion polls show it trailing the other major parties but that's not something deterring some first time voters who want a free and fair election. not and not just an election that led you to make someone that to say that ok i become a god and then because i'm elected to anything it doesn't matter we say because. what people believe in dictatorship we want to live in a democracy. with voters under thirty five making up about a third of all the registered voters the other parties have also reached out to the

and that traffic generates hundreds of millions of dollars in advertising revenue every year but this case examine the way google imposed anti competitive contracts on other website companies today's decision is about how google abused its them and to stop web sites using crocus other than the at since many websites such as news and travel sites have an embedded search function a little magnifying glass in the top corner very often and they bring up search results but also search adverse now those adverts are placed there by ad 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 late to change to a demand that google ads would simply get premium placement there was no reason for

1:22 pm
what people want to. understand better how we can incite the brain is a great mystery even based. in recent years researchers have been studying the potential benefits of waikato sings 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 two of us food and drug administration approved the use of an ingredient found the magic mushrooms for 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
1:23 pm
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 olsen 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 it's a huge compliment. so yes taking. drugs that i will choose.
1:24 pm
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 in 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 holding compassionate person because you can through that so there's just you know one personal example and i'm sure there's you know many
1:25 pm
others that people could talk to well i ask the right questions about the experience of taking a hidden synthetic what else 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 i've 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's 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
1:26 pm
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. world where 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 as 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 hasn't had a little bit of light on that actually so i think that hunger for
1:27 pm
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 and through clinical trials and they allowed these trials to happen through their pilot programs. and say it 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 for globally you know up until that trying to and so it only makes sense that the ability to do this research would have to come from the you asked and be allowed within the u.s. and in our it actually happens david you're the chemist in our conversation and really i'll see if you would help us out the lies what is happening in your brain
1:28 pm
so he sent us a couple of pictures about what's happened to our brain when taking a hallucinogenic picture number one i want him to see on skype 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 reward so the 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
1:29 pm
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
1:30 pm
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 ball 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
1:31 pm
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 or your neurons tend to signal a specific circuits certain regions of your brand communicate with other regions preferentially and so. it can lead to this feeling of being stubborn or perhaps 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 calmly and 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 why do we know it is so i think. is that you know because when you asked the question about shroom do shrooms get you on stock what one thing that i try to emphasize to
1:32 pm
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 so that 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. so the 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 way to psychedelics helping also all maybe talk 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
1:33 pm
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 atrophy of neurons in the prefrontal cortex now pretty much every antidepressant that we know of tends to regrow 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've found lately is that classic certain urgent psychedelics like l.s.d. are dying 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 also it was a better description of them so i'm sorry i couldn't hear that you are don't give us a layman's a description a couple of days that's. ketamine is a is
1:34 pm
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. actually just 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. we have a lot of exploratory kate and that we collapse in addition to just you know the level of severity of. p.t.s.d.
1:35 pm
or trauma symptoms and these definitely support what he's saying and that people feel more compassion they go through and experience of an altered or not ordinary state of consciousness during the act the psychedelic at south 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 really supporting and promoting this and. so the psychotherapy actually helps to reinforce what's learned and makes it durable mordor 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. being you know feeling very similarly
1:36 pm
to how they get at the end of the city so that durable improvement with only you know between one and three exposures you would drown it's all 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 you know petri dish experiments so i want to go to a doctor i don't think alicia people at how this actually works necessarily setting because they may be having all sorts of imagery about how to use this in therapy so this is from the organization that bear is part of the most disappointing association the psychedelic studies and this is how who synthetics all different like little doses and it builds up over time but in this kind of setting the table i know you've tried to have
1:37 pm
a sense onyx to how does it help too. yes i had that was what i wanted to share is yes i mean i i am 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 the 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
1:38 pm
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 the ego 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 there her name erika avi take a listen to her experience. my cosyn 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 and mood swings that's a pretty radical change but for the my closing actually i can spend days in my part . of france not even. and that doesn't happen the more. i think my grossing help me become more aware of my thoughts my feelings my body my
1:39 pm
surroundings and become better to care for 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 bouvier 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 like prozac is that you can take prozac home with you and put it in your medicine cabinet the issue as i could alex 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
1:40 pm
as a therapeutic in the clinic. but i think that we need a lot more research before we get to that point. and 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 the 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 type as 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 dr dr shu that you know i have been really trained in how
1:41 pm
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 you can still. do not just comment on that is to pay it off i agree that 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 broad boss those nations like a comp 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
1:42 pm
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 in the ads adds to the cost of the treatment but i also think that with this you know increase in narrow plasticity what we're really seeing as i am and by are meant that context dependent facts as well so this is why i think we see pretty marked differences between use and recreational settings where people might be not sleeping they're probably stain upon i you know overheating. and all these things actually you know activate similar questions 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 rhythm risks are really manageable as a tax that's why all of us will miss running out of time as i want to say this or

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 is there are other places around the world really they're making progress in terms of psychedelic drugs and lose a little therapy. 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 barrett take care of that question sheets you know 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 a while. and turns into another topic vera.

and we're also supporting thirty thousand man zaya say sorry but 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 which 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 seals on chronicles pocket and founder and c.e.o. of michael meditations a legal citizen retreat center in treasuries jamaica in the last three years we've worked with over one hundred clients suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder cruelly mings either 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. and example of an experience that you've had in and explain to us how psychedelic what you he was talking to our audience. in the conversation what would you say the benefits from. 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 apart by seek greater shame used to drugs or experimental they don't tell the elders in their family that others may be 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 ultimately read magazines or

al-jazeera. this part of south london is home to people from all over the world you might assume this multicultural pockets of the capital is entirely against of bricks it's often portrayed as a defense of white's britain but it's not so with this nigerian restaurant there is a quiet satisfaction of the prospects of the u.k. cutting its ties with europe. rage offering to live. off a come british glad move for breakfast not because i've been the finnegans the roof and whites will give was this leverage in time so treatment opportunity walk. before becoming resistant is it. arrives to me that i can look after just a whim. but when people come from europe to come to the country to be that is there and when it's a good and. a feel shit i feel jealous about africa's most

populous nation a blog just economy has a youth unemployment problem in a bid to control the internet of the future some say a kind of digital i am go through this folder we bring you the stories to the shaping the economic world we live in. counting the cost on our. every simi automatic weapon used in the terrorist attack on friday will be banned in this country. new zealand's prime minister announce a strict new gun laws following the cross church mosque attacks in which fifty people died.
1:49 pm
hello and welcome to al-jazeera live from my headquarters in doha with me elizabeth for them also ahead desperate efforts in mozambique to reach people stranded by floods. with them bob and in malawi affected to. this is a matter of great regret for me britain's prime minister criticizes her parliament on the bricks and on certainty as she seeks a three month extension from the e.u. . and relatives of victims react as u.n. appeal judges increase the jail sentence of former bosnian serb leader bad about a carriage which to life in prison. museums prime minister has announced sweeping conk controls following last week's
1:50 pm
attack on two malls some christ church that killed fifty people just as they will be an immediate battle military style semi automatic weapons and amnesty will be put in place for the guns to be handed to police in short every simi automatic weapon used in the tear is to take on friday will be banned in this country. these changes will require legislation that legislation is now being drafted and will be introduced under agency let's go to our correspondent wayne hay he's joining us live from christchurch and that bad now in effect in new zealand way. yes it is this war where these were law changes rather that were drawn up by cabinet they started doing that when they met on monday they unanimously agreed on these laws changes
1:51 pm
now it's a case of drafting legislation which will be presented to parliament and they will be a vote in parliament i expect that that will pass fairly easily given that the opposition has already said that it basically agrees with the measures taken by the prime minister and cabinet so the prime minister is saying that she expects these law changes to come into force officially within three weeks that they will be passed in that sitting all of parliament but in the meantime she is basically created a new rule a reclassification of the existing gun laws so anyone who holds one of those guns that is going to be outlawed by parliament will need to go to the police and get a new license for the next three weeks and what she's saying basically to those gun owners is don't bother don't waste your time they're going to be illegal soon anyway so you just hand them in so they will be a government by bag scheme as you alluded to that's going to cost around one hundred forty million dollars or up to one hundred forty million according to the
1:52 pm
government but one of the big problems is elizabeth they don't really know how many guns are out there so it's a little bit difficult to assess they'll be some opposition to these law changes probably not as much as we've seen when other governments have tried to push through similar changes to the gun ownership laws certainly the new zealand prime minister believes that she has widespread support for this. i absolutely believe there will be a common view amongst new zealanders those who use guns for legitimate purposes and those who have never touched one that the time for the mass and easy availability of these weapons must mean and today they were. and when i imagine that must be some relief for the grieving families some of whom buried their loved ones in the first funerals on wednesday and. continue to today.
1:53 pm
yes well it's been a difficult process for the family members all the asli made perhaps even more difficult because of what they believe has been a slow process and having those bodies returned to them by the police what we can tell you now is that all fifty bodies have been identified the post-mortem examinations have been completed and they're all available now for family members to take and to get those funeral process is underway they started monday with six funerals taking place there be many more on thursday the first of them to take place those day mourning. milne a fourteen year old another student of kashmir high school two students at kashmir high school killed in the attacks on friday and tariq rushy to omar a twenty four year old also had his funeral on thursday morning he was a former student of kashmir high school the other good news elizabeth is that it appears that work is continuing to try to reopen the two mosques in time for friday
1:54 pm
prayers i'm standing in front of the el nor mosque where most of the people were killed where the first attack took place and the police work is basically finished inside there and it's now a case of cleaning and rebuilding those buildings so they can hopefully reopen for friday prayers when thank you very much for that for now that's when hey live in christchurch thank you. john best to be as a fellow at the center for security studies at massey university of louisiana and and he says that legislators have become complacent in recent years. the problem i think was that new zealanders pair with brain sayf from the sort of thing not just in the last ten to fifteen years we've seen a rise of international terrorism but why before there are a mess killings are nothing on the scale at this before and the rigorous few and far between so new zealanders a got this attitude maintained over a long time that these sorts of things just aren't we will but not and we've been lazy when it comes to security. we're optimistic in the idea we're not going to

we should have to proceed realize that actually what's different from the ear to ear out we should have followed we didn't you're right last year i had the opportunity but again the scenes of just didn't seem to be with me they had anything really like it is a reasonably well who and what we. mostly made up of more abiding people who are responsible gun owners and i might agree they didn't want to be punished or the sons of the rich. we never got the we we believed it cost us dearly and we can a fool the privilege of owning firearms for years we gave. the lives have been. is live on to other news now rescuers in mozambique fear the number of deaths from side to it i will continue to rise with more bodies being found in the flood waters
