1:30 pm
much of a may give an opiate the now when sort of the east force cafe in has 2 to 300 visitors a day on weekends even more come here to play. an average day say 3 hours but some are here for 24 hours. so sue me gucci is a doctor degree how much addiction center the 1st clinic of its kind in japan. he tells us about some of the problems he has seen firsthand among young people addicted to video games the 1st thing i have to point out is the brain damaged
1:31 pm
the in the past you know there are several papers reporting the. brain damage caused by you know gaming disorder and meaning the neuronal cells. were destroyed or damaged. you know gaming and this is the problem here most important the significant findings but at the same time you know they are usually isolated from the soft side the in the stay at home for a long time and because of the you know some of them suffer from you know problems associated with in activity such as you know the low you know body things and low bone density. then do not eat regularly just 11 time in
1:32 pm
a day you know because you know they cannot eat they get they have to participate in the only games and they cannot find the time to eat something and the because of that they know the they sometimes lose their weight and suffer from malnutrition and so those kind of things if a school a school boy spends. they. please 2 to 3 hours on the computer no more gaming. and that number of hours could go all the way up to 16. on his days off we do you consider that child an addict this is called tolerance you know when we start to play a game they are satisfied with playing only 2 of us but in the course of time you
1:33 pm
know they cannot decide to sway the we'll just you know play for 2 hours or so then they have to increase the number of games. and this is part of the this is the part of the cyst symptoms which is typical of addiction we cannot in a say where the he is addicted to gaming not by just looking at number one was. games would you say that it is a source of concern and needs to be monitored because if at 12 years old. he or she prefers to stay at home not go out and have very little social life and play that it could develop into something much more severe in a few years or do you think it's just maybe. that age when you turn from. pre-birth t. and you know every boy or girl or trouble that if we
1:34 pm
diagnose you make diagnosis of gaming disorder the patient needs to show at least pretty fundamental or or can a characteristic symptoms you know one is loss of control i think you know if we play 16 hours you know you may say you may think that he loses you know control over gaming and the 2nd these the gaming is prioritize prioritize in life of course you know if you ask him what is the most important thing for you in your life he he will respond to you gaming gaming 1st and then the 3rd the 3rd or you know symptom is the you know to continue in cleese the gaming be here despite the veto by the problem he has there's another credit which is.
1:35 pm
because of gaming he suffers from severe functional impairment in school. and in the family and life so you've met many of such patients. behind that is there a deeper issue i mean sometimes from what i understand when you speak to drug addicts or alcoholics it is a way to to now maybe some deeper than 70 percent freights you think gaming is the same thing or gaming is actually much more superficial as an addiction nearly 50 percent of. patients with gaming do soda are either junior were senior high school students in the ratio. or boys 2 girls is usually 88 to one or something so they have
1:36 pm
a little limited experience you know in life so they usually do not have the deeper you know background you know why they become you know addicted to gaming and then when we see a patient with gaming a disorder home or wait with other mental disorders such as a d h d and asparagus in the room we need to take care of not only giving this of the but also you know other mental health disorders what is the success rate to get someone out of this addiction and how long is that process very good question. we have not conducted you know outcome study. so again or tell me any i could at the you know estimation but. when we see a patient with a gaming disorder we strongly recommend him or her to give up
1:37 pm
play games anymore if they agree to do that the usually their outcome is quite good but if they do not want to stop gaming completely and they want if they want to reduce the amount of hours and games the outcome is in this a good thing if it isn't typically the problem of addiction whether it's alcohol drugs or now gaming is that you tell a person you need to stop and he's mentally maybe they know but they're not able to isn't that one of the core issues yes that's right but in the case of gambling or in the case of our core dependency the majority of patients are told they can't understand the situation they are put in and they need they can understand why they have to stop drinking and stopping the gambling in the so force but in the case of
1:38 pm
. schoolboy girls they cannot understand that if we push too much they were drop out from a treatment so this is the very big issue for us and. we we have to think about the balance between you know how how do we push at the same that we need to. avoid the patient. from. looking at us. she thought it was so cool right i started gaming when he was in kindergarten he has effectively played his entire life and he sometimes can't find time to do anything else then membered your normal day how does it look like. he knew all day so.
1:39 pm
it's a good possible people are still gaming or so you know you know. junior people around here who the mother needed and you play every day a little bit must listen another coup on a disc you don't mind. my data are pretty slim ok so what would be the shortest amount. you play and what would be the longest musical sons of the world who took you know more than paul when i worked there. he's used to conduct are so the greatest just sitting at that desk for 20 hours. they get all moneys you kind of start out because you can sons of god so you just move to go to the bathroom or maybe to get a glass of water marsalis in there and you do anything else do you work do a study do you do anything else you will to us tonight do you think this amount of
1:40 pm
time you spend gaming is good for you equal to what he did so the odds are wounded and i don't want also known. as you can go most honorable. their game where you took this there was a 2nd that was and that i couldn't manage and i got them when you feel happy. and what exactly do you like about the games. so you need to know that my union i don't. know we did or did they not done that then and they come other still he shows. us you not them with us do you think that because of all this time you spend gaming you are missing out on other things in life. so you don't think that sometimes instead of playing you should be out with your
1:41 pm
friends being in the fresh air you should maybe be travelling you prefer to stay here and. most of this meeting of us can know that but you need to do to keep. coming you couldn't and i cannot them begin that and what did your parents say. about it and your girlfriend well you all between them with that she doesn't prefer to go out with you she likes to wait for you here while you're playing. think you are more so no game way at the end of statistics medically doctors say that people who play as much as you do are somehow addicted do you feel that you are addicted. so or more today. you don't think that all of this could be negative for you. and i mean it's capable.
1:42 pm
of causing the data to. go. to set up the. need to seduce to. know that i don't play if you were to tell me. or tried to convince me to start gaming this scribe to me was it is. difficult to buy a business buddies and. my studio or most of the new york you are going to go there so have a buddy to look out. the door to them when you see. them less you know about a god in a game and i got there and i got so as you speak of course accused me of what i spent 3 hours in front of a computer my eyes hurt my head is like this flashing you don't get that. it's getting some coming can i go many times that he needs to go that's also
1:43 pm
getting there what is it if you were to give advice to someone young who also loves gaming what would you say game place or box. i mean i don't know. but being cuticle is a county so the more isn't that the booklet as he says where there tomorrow it will . all stand there so no more fun or what he there being you are being called a game a game when he told me at the moment he. wanted to hire good as me took their cut and so game of those you can think you need this but the challenges they're facing right was parents are hopeful they will be able to work with their son to make sure he can live a normal life. because.

1:53 pm
on with the europeans are they going to close to the us or not what's the say it's a policy when we'll see talks or not let's say of the iranian nuclear program and so on i think this this presentation of the ship of the understandable when it was 1st seized is really drawing his attention away from the more important issues what we've got now is that both sides are prepared to wait a while if both sides think that time is on their side then we're just going to see a continuation of this. low level escalation punctuated by incident superior if we raise the level of tension the devastation caused by hurricane dorian in the bahamas has been likened to a tsunami with entire neighborhoods flattened at least 30 people are known to have died across the caribbean nation but officials are warning that number could rise dramatically dorian was the most powerful hurricane to hit the bahamas and authorities are now focused on bringing in food safe drinking water and shelter and

1:55 pm
right now apart from loss of life apart from the efforts of search and rescue crews looking for the people that are still missing are the shortages food water medicine all of this this crisis continues to unfold and it could still get worse without immediate action from the international community during and has the weekend but it is still bringing flooding to the u.s. state of north carolina on this storm is now a category one over the atlantic ocean the coastal areas remain on alert as it makes its way up the east coast at least 4 people have been killed in the u.s. more than 200000 people are without electricity dorian's expected to reach nova scotia canada late on saturday and the gallagher's in charleston south carolina. well hurricane during has finally moved off the u.s. east coast after briefly making landfall in north carolina in the outer banks there is taking a north east course that takes it away from all the states that were in danger for so many days remember the storms lots of for almost 2 weeks since it 1st formed
1:56 pm
about 200000 homes in north and south carolina have lost power they're expected to get it back fairly quickly because there was no damage to the infrastructure basically hurricane during after spending days crawling up the u.s. east coast to spend almost everybody there was no damage in florida not in georgia very minor damage here in south carolina or north carolina pretty much dodged a bullet as well so the emergency services working on restoring power there are still warnings in place in places like virginia but ultimately the storm is now headed to canada or nova scotia where it's expected to hit landfall as a category one storm in about 2 days protests in hong kong are planning to block roads to the city's airport authorities are limiting transport services and access to one of the world's busiest airports in anticipation of further disruption police say those who enter the airport illegally could face up to 14 years in prison but despite warnings from beijing and hong kong police the demonstrations continue to
1:57 pm
make a pall and joins us now with the latest from hong kong so david having said all that what is the plan for today. oh to show you i met at one of the main entrances of the airports and there is heavy security here a heavy police presence people are being checked as they go inside the airport to see whether they have the proper boarding passes to get in or at least the identification to get in what is interesting about this time is that both the airports and the protesters are very prepared the police are here on like last sunday when protesters stormed the airports and came well after the chaos began police there's a heavy police presence here there right police here they're also right police and police. that's a whole plaza about 14 kilometers away where the protesters are expected to gather and then they're also there's also heavy security at a ferry pier where other protesters can enter this island this is where they are
1:58 pm
puerto situated from. the protesters for their part are also have a very different strategy this time they're telling people who are join them protest to act like passengers and act like people who are legit who have a legitimate reason to get into the airports and they're being told not to wear the customary gas masks or helmets and also to perhaps print a fake boarding houses so that they would be allowed inside and bring their passports but the police are being very bad vigilant they're checking people if they look 2 somewhat like they could be a protester even if they're not wearing the usual protest gear we just saw a young man being stopped by police police checked his id card and pos porton looked in his bag he turned out to be a legitimate passenger so both sides are once again this time very prepared both sides each have their own strategy to deal with each other seeming to have learned from last week's lessons so it doesn't seem like these protests are going to stop anytime soon what is the plan and the motivation going forward
1:59 pm
for the demonstrators they've gotten some concessions but clearly that that's not all they want. that's right michel these protests started 3 months ago when the government tried to push through this contentious election vission law which would allow hong kong suspects to be taken over to mainland china for trial since then in the last week the government has withdrawn the withdrawn not the extradition bill thinking that this would quell some of the protests but what's clear is that each time the government has read the sentiments of hong kong people and the protesters incredibly that been incredibly off in their reading for how the people are going to react so protesters now have changed the focus it's no longer about that extradition bill the protests are now about how the police and the government to handle the protests in the past 3 months protesters have accused the police of using excessive force and brutality and they're accusing the government of not looking into legitimate complaints they say not just against
2:00 pm
pretty. esther's but police forces against regular people citizens who weren't part of the protests so that's the focus of the protest now what i also find that's interesting this time or this week since that actually dition law was pulled is that the whole i would say the emotion behind these protests has changed they don't seem to be interested in clashes or major confrontation with the police there and the warnings out protesters are in all the flyers they're saying try to avoid confrontation please disperse if there's a large security presence police on their part have also been very restrained last night there were clashes around the police station protesters had surrounded it we saw the police trying disperse them but there was no water cannon use there was restraint use of tear gas and much less use of any kind being backgrounds or any ways before aggressive ways that they had been using to disperse them ok david palmer the latest in hong kong to thank you.
