correspondent robin bride reason hong kong for us rob so given this appears to be a bit of a stalemate as we've been hearing that what's next for the protest movement is kerry lamb likely to give in and agree to public talks. that's right this does seem to be from the student's point of view just too little too late and it doesn't bode well i think paul the prospect of. this one was just rejected out of hand i think what has angered the students is that they revealed at that press conference friday morning here that this offer was made privately to the students groups all just 2 of hong kong's universities and it was as you heard that just for private talks now this is all in line with the kerry land government step promise to hold more dialogue or to be more of a listening government to yes to hear what the concerns are of students but the main concern of many of the protesters here is not just the students there are many
2:04 pm
other groups who are protesting against this controversial law is that although this government listens it has simply refused to take any action on this suspicion is that behind this government there is also beijing holding them not to back down so what the students are still demanding that they will be a public session that's obviously in line with you know their idea of keeping this public debate going having as much publicity as possible throughout hong kong from the government's point of view they almost all want to work to the opposite of that they want to have told so yes they want to take the dollar they some of the sting out of this and try to diffuse it and by having public talks that might work in just the opposite direction especially if it turns into a big rowdy shouting match between representatives of the government and students which will just make things worse rather than better or on let me ask you then what's the atmosphere in the mean like then now in hong kong after there is unprecedented scenes that we saw on monday and as public opinion still splits.
2:05 pm
i think as we saw here from this rejection is very much in the in the kind of mood that we're seeing here is one of a see the resentment to see the anger. still nothing has changed here for many of the young people it's also a feeling i think of depression they number of the support groups the suicide help lines have reported a spike in the number of calls that they've been getting from people reporting feelings of depression this feeling as though as a young person a homecoming you simply cannot change the future of this city it's all in other people's hands and ultimately in beijing's hands and sadly there's a couple of protests coming up this coming weekend but also 2 memorial services for 2 people out of 4 who also do have taken that lives over the past week or so leaving notes telling friends that the reason they were doing it is because simply because of that very feeling of hopelessness in the future the static correspondent

2:22 pm
sepia there's something the venom can now be sent to all of our 3 finances is not limited to being drug. tested. sometimes it's very painful. sometimes it can crack. you. you can't deal with a threat to human life unless you know it's that and that means detection is one of the most important parts of any health professionals work but here in east africa many of the most sophisticated diagnostic tools from genetic testing to nuclear simply too expensive i'm dr javid up to my neck in tanzania was scientists are busy turning local pests into a crack team of disease detectives. tough because giant house rats have an exceptional sense of smell and a dose on nature which nigger's
2:23 pm
e bay and his colleagues at the charge of piper harnessing to save lives. look at these rats the huge they even have names so here's this this is more you got a huge rat called mojo in his arms ok and this is a specially trained rat yeah trying to do was sleeping on it once detecting around a month. every morning the rats are taken to nearby training fields to practice sniffing out the explosive agent t.n.t. in deactivated land mines. wars have left many african countries littered with millions of land mines and unexploded bombs. clearing them is notoriously dangerous slow and expensive. but a purpose here a rats what 10 times faster than humans allowed to like to set off the mines and will work for peanuts or in this case bananas. in training the rats scratch the ground where they think they swallow mine since 2008 the rats trained here have cleared over 900 football fields worth of heavily mined land in neighboring
2:24 pm
mozambique that is just the sea ice for when i benefit from q which is making a significant impact in the natural fit for the bird to show you the office. as they've done so well at sniffing out mines the rats exceptional noses and now being put to work on one of africa's deadliest diseases so you just might never mind going to trying these rats to smell is really in the history hypocrite that's merely to detect some day it is so it's a something new every week sputum samples from 17 tb sent to sterilize for safety then screened at the paper's lab which is the 1st in the world to use rats to diagnose disease so these are real actual tuberculosis kits and samples from local hospitals yeah this source with them sometimes called looked at from suspected tb patients and all the samples have already been tested in hospital but outdated methods mean many tb cases a mess those that have been confirmed are left in to test the rats accuracy but
2:25 pm
only one technician in the room knows which is which for all of the bars he knows he's a politician off the positives that the 2 hand this to play don't know the position and the right doesn't know it and how to just say that's what we call a proper double blind test no doubt is created to sniff. the technicians want to see whether the rat scratched out. in the confirmed cases and if they suspect any of this. sort of things. it was you. so it indicated to you the no one positive thing click followed by 4 followed by food and number so by indicators but it was the most polluted from the t.v. so he said suspect so we don't yet know that it could be positive if it's the wrong things it is now 10 percent over just finished yeah wow how long would that have
2:26 pm
taken microscopist when i was. a single technician 25 something that day by day here 25 some pills a day and this rapid 10. percent a minute that's 10 fold 50 fold on you can do the math that's very much for. the rats cartney screen around $800.00 samples a week and news of their work is sporadic so i'm going to introduce you to janet janet is a former t.v. patient. how he really wants. to conquer some us attorney. says. no one's looking for. less than never sick. of virginia and they. need. to fall. back to
2:27 pm
a new one up on. every week the rats flag up dozens of samples missed by hospitals which are then retested using a purpose up to date methods so you might really prepared this smears from this put them someplace else where it indicated by that the focus is suspect so he's going to stay in this smears so that sort of counter staining. as to the creation process make sure that the only the bacterium itself picks up the color and everything else in the background will fade in deep color so that when you look at it under a microscope it's very obvious so here it's a microscope your own emote. so you know we turned the lights off so we're in the dark because this is a fluorescent dye and so the bacteria actually glow in the dark so i have a look here 1st have a look. right. now this is there's a lot that i wouldn't even have to count to miss but 2nd to see that is at least
2:28 pm
20300 bacterium and that feels so that's that's really nice to see the rats have got it right you know our rights i think astrid she she she actually got a suspect case that is actually positive and that would have been missed with the ordinary diagnostic tools that we had in the community so that's brilliant more than 2600 patients were missed where the tb clinics but by their routes and confirmed there. since 2008 the rats have improved tb detection rates by 30 percent and with $45.00 new clinics to join the program next year these extraordinary rodents are set to save thousands more lives. planning coming in pushing. the stump why the same d.n.a. complement people.
2:29 pm
living with traumas can make everyday life to close these involuntary muscle movements effect simply to stop biting or even drive a car and they could not have the medications can and the fact that if they don't work an invasive risk of brain surgery is often the next step i'm dr elizabeth even in ohio usa to find out about a new procedure they use it's not a static and the incision etc without. for most of my life 58 year old sonny has suffered with essential tremor and your logical disorder that causes involuntary muscle movements so. i create abnormal activity deep in the brain causes shaking which is especially noticeable in the house and something that can be extremely disabling and that's very fine fine control and i thought that was the last one i was able to do i can't do that. sonny how long have you had essential tremor at. least since i was.
2:30 pm
what is it worth to both my hands. it's in my head especially if i do any and to mouth motions i only drink out of a straw and. going to someone's house to eat unless i know the last well i just i don't do it i just don't do it brushing my teeth it's a nightmare i've damaged my gums again tell you how mean. i have scars all over my hands cooking can you show me what your writing is like. ok. that's hard work for you isn't it for the transfer the table. can be very strong. so i can just make that out where i am is sunday so feel when your body is doing something you can control. the bare. bones is very
2:31 pm
painful. sometimes it can make me cry. because there are so many things i'd really like to do and i know i can do but i'm not allowed to because in my hands. invasive surgery and radio surgery can be used to target the effect of cells that cause tremors from within the brain but these procedures carry significant risks surgeons and. scientists at ohio state university his works in the medical center are now trying a completely noninvasive technique focus on disorders a new technology that uses the power to focus on me. to go through the skull and meet at a central point within the brain and the energy from all these scum minds together is powerful enough to all of us a small and criticize vision of the brain is a bit like when you use a magnifying glass to concentrate light rays to burn something will stop fire yeah
2:32 pm
absolutely so what are the advantages of this procedure over the current procedures for such a minute grandparents all focused on just how it is it being given on a razor to show without opening the skull patients are overweight and you can look at their specific tremor while they are drawing objects or writing an immediate feedback that you get is a key part of this procedure that allows us to be accurate while the patient is still on the table so excited that i do indeed is for sure. sunny is just the 7th person to undergo this new procedure at the what the medical center as part of a clinical trial. ok so sunny is pretty much all set to sort of go into the machine because going to fill me back but we can settle in and this is kind of the control
2:33 pm
sense that this is the point without question will be manipulating the controls to get the fact he wants. to see the reconstruction of the sun is. known as long. as you go to school you can see this in the form of a school a lot of emotion if you see through and much room for these folks in u. . he brings home for you. this is the part of the dream if i didn't like to be part of it and you can see ultrasound days the coming from the different elements you can merge into this morning of the brain it's all it's nature and now the next step is to stop say the treatment step by step to see how much energy you need still have to try to change the trend. ok that's for the. most good.
