individuals and groups is still financing attacks in particular it says the u.a.e. government works well with the u.s. intelligence agencies but hasn't done enough to prevent terrorist organizations from exploiting financial loopholes certainly u.a.e. did not succeed entirely in its pledges to not succeed. in its efforts to eradicate terrorism certainly it had most of its success in preventing attacks in u.a.e. so i seed in that respect but in terms of terror and for terrorist financing backing tin used to flow in the u.a.e. there needs to be a lot more done the state department also says the 29 month blockade imposed on cattle by saudi arabia the u.a.e. bahrain and egypt is hampering regional counterterrorism efforts u.s. position is very clear and that is that. the gulf reconciliation is a core national security interest and more than that in the state department report

a mixture of sand and chemicals is forced through a very high pressure and all this breaks apart the shale rock creating pos ways for the oil and gas to flow into the well while we are about the fracking holes he's an anti fossil fuel campaigner with friends of the u.k. . oh we are delighted than i've been on the phone all morning with friends in lancashire who face these after quakes and fought the sender straight for over 8 years and they fought the filth force of the government to make it happen the government is not just decided they've decided because of this uprising from the grassroots across the country and it truly is testament to their hard work compassion to stop 1st scandalous industry from taken hold in a group of friends of the earth and account dinners across the country were always going to push for a complete ban him from not just an england across the world not here not any worse the motto you're right it's not for obama but it is absolutely a moment to celebrate so many people's lives have been taken over by the us

industry the past few years and it fell on thank believe me you don't go there and be at the stage we were talking about moratoriums but less in our frock and bad in u.k. sure why not well illegal mining in sierra leone is being blamed for triggering environmental disasters than the government is introducing stiff penalties for the people behind it but some fair and maybe too little too late on that address reports from freetown. sierra leone's beauty is framed by it and you lay to mountains rivers and the atlantic ocean. just to 7 and a half 1000000 people call this hole so also a wide variety of plant and animal species but the country's beauty and the changing cost mainly because of unrestrained exploitation of the environment in such a to resources. lot scale mining and deforestation have exposed it's fragile

failed to discourage developers construction still continues in the shadows of the mountain. with extensive damage already done to the environment government has ordered demolitions and introduced of penalties for illegal logging mining and land grabs we have asked people to go to march in our communities and see if we can draw the greenbacks so that people don't go beyond those areas so we are going over that in terms of planning we know what. ground that insurance before you act and the beauty you don't erect your building on water catchment areas in disaster prone areas. but environmentalists say government actions may be too late for some areas and warn of more tragedies if we continue this is going to happen and it will happen again and again on till we go stop the disaster is here and it's going to be we toss. very recently last this rainy season and if you happen to get the

are the headlines to join me for more news here on al-jazeera after faultlines stay with us. and i mean going to. millions of americans have trouble paying for their prescription medication and. that includes type one diabetics. for them in store and it's a life saving drug for somebody like me it's like the oxygen that you breathe. it is like oxygen i breathe except for mean i have to pay $340.00 a mile for that oxygen. these diabetics are making the 12 hour journey to canada to

buy cheaper and so on which just over the border is about 110th of the cost and in the united states. you'll hear all these u.s. pharmaceutical companies they will tell you they have coupons they will tell you they have discount cards they a patient programs they have at all if i could go out to a shrink go bonnie do you think would be driving 870 miles. in the u.s. the cost of nearly every major brand name drug is on the rise. and for many people that means being forced to choose between financial insecurity or saving their lives. and what this bill means to me is her a for stable cancer it means i'm going to live longer but what is a pill costs this particular pill is going to be anywhere from 800 to 1100 dollars at any given time the way we pay for medical innovation today has nothing to do

with rationality that's the most expensive though you're also quoting course oh it's worth more than our car. it is everything you do with profit maximizing in an environment where we require nothing of the companies in this episode of faultlines we investigate what's behind the skyrocketing cost of prescription drugs and how the hefty price tag is costing lives. there at least 1200000 americans would type one diabetes an auto immune disease that has no cure. and once a person has it they're often required to take insulin multiple times a day for the rest of their lives. insulins and old drug. it was discovered almost a 100 years ago. but in the u.s. he keeps getting more expensive. you have to leave the country to buy something

that you need to live the rights are being held hostage by these companies and by the u.s. governments in our elected officials to pay a ransom when the president signed. between 20122016 alone the price nearly double forcing many americans to search for other routes to access if. you have an entire bus load of americans coming to wal-mart in canada to buy insulin because just where they can afford it. would be funny if it weren't so sad and serious. i came from new jersey to minneapolis to ride a bus to canada to buy it for $30.00 and i still think i'm going to save a life but after doing all that it's totally impractical and sort of sad that at all it's just something that required to live so i know it's not last or.

is this different than the one you would get in the us it seems like the same exact to say that. 3. weeks out we got in florida i got 9 by all the fine over $3000.00 for 9 vial of the united states. to stop me $243.00 inside i think it's showing exactly why we have people dying in america on a weekly or monthly basis we need legislation passed in america so that no longer people are going to be dying of a type one diabetes. and for many people going across the border to buy cheaper insulin is not a long term solution. studies have shown that one in 4 americans with diabetes have ration their insulin because they couldn't afford it and this can be a deadly gamble. no one knows this better than nicole smith hope whose son alex died in 2017. so we're here today remembering alec and all the others that have

lost their life from insulin rationing it's it's amazing to know that it's you know he would still be alive today if i had known at that time 2 years ago that i had the option to cross the border to purchase completely affordable and soy and. not just a bunch of people whining and crying about the price of insulin there's a true impact. my family was destroyed by this. and lost a child. and i'll never have my ask my son back. in 2015 alec was diagnosed with type one diabetes when he was 23 years old. at the time while still in the coles insurance alex insulin cost between $2.00 and $300.00 a month. but when he turned 26 years old under america's health care law he was no

longer able to remain on her insurance. and without it the cost of his insulin shot up over $4.00 times. i went to the pharmacy the 1st time without my insurance card and hand his 2 types of insulin his diabetic supplies anything that he needed to take care of himself cost of $1300.00 a month. he wasn't planning on it being that expensive. so what do you do he went home with no i saying. because halliburton $40000.00 a year as a restaurant manager he didn't qualify for government assistance. nicole believes alex started rationing his insulin because he couldn't pay for it were this made him susceptible to d.k.a. or diabetic ketoacidosis a dangerous side effect the type one diabetes when the body doesn't get enough insulin. starts shutting down your bowels which would why has stomach was hurting

so bad and then it'll work your way up your intestinal system and your intestines start shutting down. and your kidneys start shutting down and and then you're along start shutting down. and then your heart starts to go. and as the heart starts to go. you typically go into cardiac arrest. or you go into a coma. you start having seizures. and it's and it's true remotely painful way to. elevate him off of my insurance on june 1st of 2017 and was found out on june 27th of 2017. he lasted 26 days i'm sure.

he's handsome could. turn smile. like days of. the phones because. nicole and her family learned that alec had been stretching out what little insulin he had left until his next paycheck. he was found dead 3 days short of his payday. what do you miss most. is have you. on the big brother around you. who do you hold accountable. i love the pharmaceutical companies partially or are accountable i hold our our government partially accountable. myself partially accountable. house man i should have seen that.

i said and there to protect. i should have been. but ultimately the system felt like. insulin is kind of a perfect storm of all the problems with our drug industry and all the public failure to regulate it meaningfully. it's a century old technology that was gifted to humanity by the university researchers who came up with it and since that time prices have only increased for something that by now should really be essentially free. the reasons behind the high cost of prescription medication in the us are complicated. but one main factor is that the government doesn't regulate or negotiate the prices of drugs directly with companies instead it lets them set their own prices which puts the burden of ever increasing costs on patients. our government has taken less seriously than some others our responsibility to provide affordable medicine for our people in

canada and many countries around the world governments are active purchasers and they say how do i get a good deal how do i negotiate for the best deal and the united states we simply say pharma tell us what you want and we'll give it to you. they can charge essential as much as any of us would pay to care for our 2nd our loved ones no constraints. no constraints on drug pricing means that for many americans no amount of planning can prepare them for the cost of an illness. stay in the r.v. . we have done. in 2015 and just 50 years old jackie trapp was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer called multiple myeloma keep it pay it. a tricky little cancer and because it's a blood borne cancer surgery is not an option radiation is only palliative it's really just to make you feel better drugs are all we have her doctor prescribed

revlimid an oral chemotherapy drug manufactured by the u.s. biotechnology company celgene and that's just and it has no generic in the united states. revel may quite simply is the only form of treatment available for me for my cancer. revlimid has kept checking cancer stable for the last 4 years. but the bills to pay for it and her overall health care have shattered her financial stability the 1st $1.00 i got was january 6th of 2017 and the total member responsibility right here is 11100 $48.14 and then i got the 2nd bill january 30th and that one was 412039 dollars and 89 cents total member responsibility and here's a real weeks later 3 weeks later here we are on their bill for $12.00 ours is your responsibility yeah this must been terrifying though while you're fighting. cancer

in a period of 6 weeks you get 3 bills for the one drug that may extend your life and it's looking like it's going to be you know over $12000.00 a month. i can honestly tell you that when i was diagnosed you know there are some tears there but i cried hard more when these bills came along i've spent so much more emotional energy on finding ways to fund my treatment than i ever have my cancer. at 1st jackie's insurance didn't cover revlimid has been saying well we can do this i'll sell my truck you know what that old bell give us the money but i'm going to be on this indefinitely this is not a solution we need a longer term solution and we're not going to be paying this out of pocket it will be bankrupt before you know it and then what jackie spent up to 50 hours a week at times cobbling together a plan to bring down.
