have figured out a way to absorb fluoride in water by using cow skeletons the idea is that water containing high fluoride levels sticks to the animal bones when put through a filter instead of harming human bones the process to make the bone charred takes weeks. we're inside the furnace and as you can imagine it's mel's awful and here it smells like death they just look the flame and these bones will essentially be baking at temperatures of $350.00 degrees celsius for at least 10 days until these bones are whittled down into bone char. the char is then ground sifted and washed if fluoride levels are too high a more expensive chemical alternative is provided half of the battle with this program has been convincing communities that it's safe to drink water filtered by bones what i'm in most when we take this product to the local community we were facing challenges they asked if this was a muslim or christian slaughterhouse we finally convinced them that this was only

from cattle. the char is then brought to rural communities to be added to water supplies the rift valley has an unusually high level of fluoride because the volcanic rock naturally produces the chemical the world health organization recommends fluoride levels to be around $1.00 milligrams per liter in this village the level is 9 the excess levels of fluoride causes a chronic condition called fluorosis 67 year old fatality suffers from it as do most of his 9 children. and we get a new one in your room i feel back pain in joint pain i can't sit down or stand up properly i also feel pain all over my body. and. the effects of fluorosis are irreversible but increasing calcium intake can help 97000 people have been helped by the chart program but 16000000 are affected this project is just scratching the surface but for those in this village safer drinking. water is

making a difference we are hearty in al-jazeera mojo in southeast ethiopia. the u.s. state of oregon is introducing mental health days for school students activists say it's needed to deal with what they call a mental health crisis in schools suicide rates in the u.s. are at a 15 year high in oregon suicide deaths are 40 percent above the national average the new law will allow students to take up to 5 mental health days in a 3 month period it's hoped this will help reduce the stigma around mental health according to the world health organization as many as 800000 people die by suicide every year it's a global problem that afflicts countries rich and poor the same way or so korea and russia are among those with the highest suicide rates well political psychologist forbes will see joins us now by skype from naples in florida discuss this further

and also role see what exactly would you say a mental health day would achieve well 1st thought nice to be with you and i think this is a good step forward i really believe that mental health in america should be tried all right so the answer your question i think what it will be achieved is to bring our ties mental health make you can make it something that on a go forward basis we're going to we're going to try we're going to make it happen in terms of treatment or people who have all types of mental health problems whether it's the pression anxiety personal anguish suicide or a whole array of issues that confront people every day. but this can't surely this can't simply exist on its own it's all very well taking a day off to reset but if there are underlying concerns they offer to you isn't going to isn't going to help much surely. well you know again to prioritize mental

health is really the issue here and if you think about it people pay medical days off because they don't feel well sometimes they kind of fudge it but they get help . and mental health days are important joe psychologists have said for a long time without mental health there is no help so i think this is really a positive step in the right direction i don't think people should take advantage of it but i would predict that most of the days are going to be reasonably taken and is going to be something that works and it probably is it is a good thing going forward do you think that this should be made available more widely so not just for students but for the whites a workforce absolutely mental health needs to be dropped prioritize that if you look at what happened and 2017 where the the bills out of the senate and the house both the limit they that mental health in america for most for most of it and you

know mccain and some others you don't knock that down but it could have passed and would of the fact that lee eliminated mental health coverage with insurance companies entirely i mean that's a step backwards this is a step forward and i think it's a good thing because many have mental health and one psychologist can do today with cognitive behavioral interventions really at the top not at the bottom of the health care system. it's great to get your thoughts thank you very much indeed for speaking to us here on out to see you next year with. lots more. sports including. more than ready for the new food bowl season pizza will have all the details for you coming up after this.

hello and welcome to al-jazeera live from my headquarters and with me elizabeth rodham also ahead. as iran raises its flag on a seized british tanker the prime minister calls an emergency meeting to decide the government's next move. hong kong's protest movement takes another violent turn as hundreds of thousands of pages of undermining their freedom plus. days of protests for supporters because a governor to announce he won't seek reelection. refuses to resign. israeli forces are preparing to demolish about $100.00 palestinian homes close to

the separation wall in the occupied west bank the residence of why the homeless had 47 year legal battle to overturn the military a vixen order but as well as high. court dismissed the case despite the land being under the administration of the palestinian authority a correspondent rob matheson is live for us at the homeless in the occupied west bank before we get to what's happening there rob i just want to be clear palestinians in this area had all the necessary permits to build their homes so why is israel sending in the bulldozes. well this dates back to a military ruling that was made about 8 years ago which said that any construction within about 250 meters of the so-called separation line the separation fence i don't know if you can see it just over my shoulder the fence is running up the center of the road from just over my shoulder there. these buildings there were

obviously less than 250 meters from that fence and the ruling was that any building it to be constructed up to 250 meters away from the fence had to be demolished these buildings were constructed after the ruling was made 8 years ago as you rightly said this area is administered by the palestinian authority and it's had given permission and permits for those buildings to be built but as far as the israeli security services and the authorities are to speak for the authorities are concerned these buildings are illegal to meet and to dunedin lawlessness and that when we got here in the early hours of this morning it was still dark but there was a very very heavy security presence we had to make your way in by food i don't know if you can see there are a significant number of security forces up and down round the hill here they blocked off all the roads leading to this particular area and when we arrived there were already security forces and demolition teams which had been working their way up through this building in front of us this is going to be unoccupied and as you can see i don't know if you can see but there are men on several floors. of the

building at the top who are in setting up to demolish that particular part of the building but just after we arrived there were sounds of screaming and shouting coming from the pink building which is just to the left hand side of the finished building here there was a family living in there we saw the security forces moving in opening the doors and we believe bringing out members of the family but with very little notice but also we think bringing out activists who have been supporting the family in their the families in their campaign to not have their buildings demolished but again as you mentioned before there was an appeal made to the israeli high court a couple of weeks ago to stop the demolition of these buildings the high court said no these buildings are illegal and they are going to come down. rob thank you very much for that for now that's rob madison with the latest live in the occupied west
