3:30 am
but it also plays an important role in challenging colonial rule. and no jury, i can sit on the mission of the clock. what's the point out is there a well tells the powerful story of how football became more than just a sport and the fight against the french and british colonial authorities against the initial looks like the connection, the rebel game out. jerry, and so dawn on al jazeera resistance to antibiotics, could cause 10000000 deaths to get from 2050. that's according to the united nations sign to say climate change is another factor driving the leading crisis. why is that such a risk and what's being done? the balance that this is inside story, the color walked into the problems,
3:31 am
the whole rom and the united nations and solid. this world wide awarding, that's unless urgent action is taken to deal with resistance. antibiotics across is much bigger than the cobit 19 pandemic could occur by 2050. do you an estimate, so as many as 10000000 people could die every year from what's known as n t microbial resistance, o m a. not so many more. that's in just one. yeah. then the 7000000 lives last showing the pandemic. so why is this happening and what can be done to address that? we'll discuss that in detail with all gashodi. but 1st, let's take a quick look at the problem. a recent reports by the human development program says a major drive is climate change. fueling the rise of global antique microtubule resistance. this happens when bacteria viruses from guy or other power sites, develop the ability to resist drugs designed to kill him. disease causing bacteria under the microwaves of historically being limited by geography and color temperature says prevented diseases from spreading extensively,
3:32 am
but climate change is disrupting. these binary is a wilma plan that is bringing in more diseases, floods and drought. so disrupting water systems and sanitation facilities, creating breeding grounds for my craves health x, but say a critical way to stop these stupid bugs is to cub over use and misuse of antibiotics, measures to help climate change will also help in the battle against n t. my crew be able resistance well that spring in august for this edition of inside story in geneva mckesson capella and advise the for the world health organization specifically hold onto my crew deal resistance. he's also a professor emeritus of global health and to monetary and it says that the university of manchester, in bainbridge and a father and infectious diseases specialist for doctors without borders. and recently cut, wrote
3:33 am
a piece of dressing the development and spread of antibiotic resistance. bacteria in garza and an oxford in the u. k. i list of all the scientific lead in your socks, the institute for the microbial research who specializes in, but to real resistance will welcome to all of you on the program because you cannot just begin with you do that all 2 ways perhaps of looking at this and what's happening is that we have this scenario in our heads around the, well, that's the pun, demik, the cove it pandemic has had a huge impact on our society. so how is the pulse? debit goody? focus scientists and medical mines in general, about global infections to watch any good reason, but that makes the most a lot to lee covered have shown the world the dangers of glory when bugs go out of control their spread across regions and continents. and they're making
3:34 am
millions and billions of people vulnerable and the new opener, goods, new products of goods are coming up all the time to treat them every year. the have potential for causing brenda makes no resistance is upfront demick in its own right. because of the way it impacts it is a public across old continents. the way it could affect everybody, richard ford, north and south. and it's even worse because it is a kind of slow, good, slow growing, and frank demick, and it's on the simplest solutions. that's what i think is likely to brenda meant is appropriate, but unfortunately, it doesn't come with the complexity of the problems we face the present time. now hopefully will of pick a as we go along with this edition of inside story, i was to follow. you look, such as, like i said, a slow growing pandemic. would you agree with that? not?
3:35 am
absolutely. i. i agree or not dogs. so i'll call out with the target pandemic, but it's a slow growing one. and if we don't take action appropriately, we'd have prepared adequately, then the consequences could be worse than we buy as we've experienced during type it a. let me just bring you in quickly because obviously you and your colleagues that doctors about board is also name is a m s s. do work all over the world, not just in conflicts, those button climate disaster areas. obviously, you know, these scenarios occur when the infrastructure of those areas collapses. how is it presenting in general uh, to your colleagues who a noticing this, you might say at the full front to of medical care. so we're noticing it in, in as, as our 1st speaker said, these, these bugs, nose no, no,
3:36 am
no boundaries. and even in places where we were not expecting to see a lot of resistance, we are seeing, it's even there where we were assuming that's not a lot of anti microbial is, would be used. and this changes a bit makes us change the ways we need to treat patients and maybe we need to prepare in another way and all emergencies. it's, it's a very difficult us and already isn't that you might say conflict. so at a natural disaster, they have their own issues and they raise that road problems. look ash, i mean you what ensued on, i believe as well in the gospel area. we're also seeing events and fold in places like brazil, whether it was heavy flooding recently. we've had the storms in the caribbean, and of course we've got the ongoing conflicting, gaza, how different all similar,
3:37 am
all these areas when it comes to these microbes and bacteria showing you might say that ugly face. i think all those the corrections of disasters was and those conflicts are different. they have their own specificities. however, the underlying risk some vulnerabilities has been created. are you really similar? so for example, when you are living in a long concert, vc now in the sedan or chronic prices, like in the city of or an acute, comfortable like you know, god and parts of your printer. what we're seeing is that health systems are breaking down. oh, we see the basic access to health care is disrupted. what that means is that when the patient's need urgent health care, they don't necessarily have access to the all the move configuration of pharmacy. typically, agents required, basically adult. this will make do with whatever is available,
3:38 am
and very often the patients will not get properly treated. instead of having the flu close to find about like somebody to only be able to afford or have access to maybe 3 days. which means that these situations become hot beds often as expense because the bugs then get adapt to the conditions in this a regions under. and we have received this part of the change as well. um and uh that means that there are organisms like bacteria, viruses, and so on their project foster, thus creating the conditions for uh, the, the, uh, the resistance, the genetic to be imbedded in the population of organisms, dr. scalds is disease and someone brings all over. so we see a remarkable commonality despite the diversity around the world. so i was thinking, i'll just bring you in here as well because what we all have and you said there was this alarm bell, alarm bells being run across the world. and by very evident segatus, i mean,
3:39 am
if i just mentioned jeannie bizarre i, she's the lady that took over from and add to the, found she after the, the co, 5th 19 scenario sidney from the american side to think she's now the new head of that whole health department across the us, she's told about lives still being over stage and being treated with antibiotics all the time. and it's not very livestock, but humans eat and that's what with them. all right, bodies, we become, you might say, a new to the health care that we would expect if we, with the full ill, i mean the cycle of food generation and, and taking it in how much of a problem does the food chain create for us in this scenario, but i think one thing that's being absolutely clear and is that we all one find that we all owe connectivity. i'm to my cargo resistance doesn't know any boundaries. i mean national and have no geographic boundaries. and my client,
3:40 am
there is a link between and to my credit bill use it, and she medicine and culture. something around between 60 and 75 percent on spa tics by mass worldwide. opposite by way, all use in agriculture, in some phone. and some cases this is use to, to treat an infection, but not many cases. it's used preventative, like an apple as provided. so the wide spread spread of an infection across a lot of and now the good was off bad for this can spite out into the environment and that is documented. but what, why is clay is that use of and to micro a antibiotics in agriculture is spreading resistance specific resistance. genes that can fire resistance to human drugs is exhausted by 2. by using agriculture,
3:41 am
you're all about doing an agreement. if i just about to add to, i mean what we are seeing studying complex sciences if we just come to something like gaza, just as $11.00 incident, one story is that when you have the infrastructure of a location destroyed and you have the water supply, disrupted they sold exacerbates the problem of spreading disease and you might say disease and uh to both of you single, changing it into new forms that are very difficult to treat. how, how much of a problem is it to have medical locations destroyed? be in the conflicts the all by natural disaster. i've been trying to rebuild them quickly. so the disease doesn't spread, and the salts of microbes don't become prevalent. so in complex all you have the dis, this destruction of the medical infrastructure meeting that people can seek
3:42 am
healthcare or not able to get the health care or the medication or whatever the. so that's this part you don't get treated in the right way or get the necessary treatment under the 2nd part, which is the regular all around your infrastructure and the water and you don't get to water properly. maybe your house is destroyed. maybe, you know where you live is destroyed, you have to, you have to go somewhere else. your living conditions change. so some of the diseases can spread. so things like color i was water or other diseases can spread these codes or could not be resistant. but even if you're sick, you become more prompt to get there. other resistance, you increase the use of anti microbial is it's available, but also you become more prone to getting disease because of stress because of your food to water. you can flush yourselves hygiene. so all these factors play in one research. yeah, this is a bit of
3:43 am
a certain that because you're thinking about research within countries such as pockets down south asia, the americas, where you're looking into are you not and about how these and see microtubules actually affect the loan to scenario. but as i still want 6 hits and gone so i'm up with colleagues with colleagues we, we have series of labels, surveillance programs. so looking in pot and content signed and often not for disaster. but it's just more generally um that on the big issues is these diagnostics is working out. what are the bacteria? is that a bacteria infection net for you should use antibiotics and what? so what type of bacteria? i'm not telling me that now. what type of resistance james, do they have to get? what are they, what drugs are they resistant to?
3:44 am
and i think you can, you can work out and if you can get cheap, cheap and accessible diagnostics and cold wave ready to pay you debility of the right time to politics. along with good health care and sanitation, then we will be able to tackle problems. i am to my capital resistance at least as a business connection, though not wasting that with climate change. i mean, when did that actually don't on, you might say the scientist older such as a, in your understanding and it is, this is not something that's just being discussed over the last 6 months. is that this is something that's been going yeah. is becoming more prevalent now the discussions and gaining momentum and but it was clear as the climate climate change is exacerbate and extreme weather events and the not wasting that, whether it's flooding,
3:45 am
whether it's hurricanes that listing at the moment and all these things disrupt um, basic health and sanitation and this leads inevitably to spread off diseases including dice caused by a bacteria and that's for and to my cargo resistance spreads. the the, you are agreeing it in say a result. look, i should like to come to you really as us, the guy who's traveled the well the for the you and as well. i mean i, i, you lingle, i usually sort of nothing in agreement. generally with wireless to said that there is this link canal and it's becoming more and more evident that it has to be dealt with at the very high level, a governmental level. yes, i would agree with that, but i would also say that there is unfortunately not a lot of foot urgency about this little problem. and the police feel free to selection in terms of global mobilization and national action is a,
3:46 am
is very poor. i mean, i'm, i'm, i'm a strategic and by the organization on their own, i do microbial resistance and the spring bunk back. so we can get this problem or how to turn global guidance on good practices and the technologies and science. and we really know what to do with this is true is how you can it's governments around the world, especially those in the developing countries in port countries. oh, don't have a national classic district is with this, but not the so in the, in the ritual was you have complete to complacency. and in the developing world, you have a lot of a lot of awareness about this and know how to accelerate that action. so that we can have a public coke movement. that is to keep this problem before a to implode, sitting on a much bigger scale than sitting at the moment. it's really the issue. that's why
3:47 am
the upcoming meeting of the united nations, the high level for a move september on our, to my group. the distance is that some of the event will be much more global engagement and resources. more resources are needed in countries to build the surveillance to build up the bottle crease, to build up their reporting capacities and that some kind of global corporations be accelerated. so we can get to grips with this. yeah, i just want to come to that said that you in general, somebody meeting of september to buy me just want to just get back quickly to add a you know, thing ahead your head as well. i'm in agreement with both of our the speakers because i once trotsky, yes, it's all very well, isn't it that the government level for, for this to be made aware, but at the end of the day, your, with the grass roots that hold up the coal sites to a certain extent, how do you get your voice heard of? how do you get the voices of your doctors and medics hood? when you have these incidents of these bacteria rising, all the same, that need to be made aware of to the why to medical surgical. i think this is the
3:48 am
point making the world aware. and we're, i would like to go back to the diagnostics part the both of my co speaker has talked about diagnostics. it's key to know that there's a, if we talk about bacteria who need to know that you have a bacteria 1st and then you need to know that it's the resistance. and where we work, i can say that only in, in, in the areas we work. we usually use the diagnostics, we try to use a local diagnostic, a local a lot and only in, in it's less than 40 percent of the places where we work, where we actually can find a lab that has a good quality enough that we can work with so in 60 percent of the time we have to come with our own and build our microbiology lab and that knowing your problem is where it starts and a lot of places we don't know where the, what the problem is. so we have tools that we the so we least tried to make the
3:49 am
diagnostics lighter. so we have like the tools that we have to make it easier for people. so there's a front of capacity building. there's a part of, of, you know, it's, uh, i'm assuming those there is the infrastructure for it. so we've tried to make it to the, to the, to user. so we have something called a mini lab. we have the empty juggle app and you can use your smart phone to be able to interpret these sensitivities easier. so i would like to make a call for that. yeah, time is your entity, isn't it really to a certain extent to try and get that voice to get those findings actually outside to those people that kind of make the difference. i list a can i come in here because the book has just mentioned the un general assembly meeting with various reports, for example, who strategic and technical advisory group for entry at and t micro biome issues.
3:50 am
place the i need to have the un general assembly, but we've also got the, the call 29 conference happening and back who and as a by john, which again, links to climate change. how high up the agenda should this be when you know, when you go to the un general assembly, you're, you're on the sidelines the and then you both for the will be on the sidelines of the, of the call meeting as well later in the, to get your voice heard to get your findings out the to tell people, this is what's happening. all right, and then no man, no many competing issues and issue confidence facing the lot of them. i mean, i'm to my current bill resistance is, is a really big growing company. and what we want to do is to prevent the unthinkable being inevitable. this is something that we need to safe, god, 8, and use fancy on to politics, which on the pin martin medicine, a variety of things and they used to treat infections that they also use. but when
3:51 am
patients with all the diseases. so for example, it came most likely you often to ask about takes routine, so treat might no longer be possible. if i am all it is a problem. so what we need to do along with all the other issues and climate change is planned for the future. and that's why we're talking um, raising this issue now. lucas, could i just put you in here? i think you want to, i mean, how links all these to conferences now it does of getting the debate going know tony, in september in new york, but later on and also by john, i was having good all my life into your and i wish i could say that all these different conferences were linked together. they're not, they're all well when they're on tracks tracks and know the route. it's a good things and maybe have some good outcomes. but we're not gonna get into connecting the global global issues. but i want them all to come and one thing, sure. new technologies, new techniques, hun hooked acknowledges, for example,
3:52 am
in conflict on. so i a black box. the on to, for the fact of the matter is that we're constantly looking for new ways to solve problems. when we're not doing doing the basics. so for example, we have the problem of hospital infections. uh, which is the major cause of the spread of m r. we have for example, the lack of health care universal health coverage is going i've been going down or is not that a little or it's under advancing. and we're looking for some kind of book, a good solution to our to might cause resistance. but what we need to do is to attend to the basics. there isn't going to be a magic solution or a new physical that is going to this to this uh, since solve this problem. we have to deal with the fundamental building block of healthy societies, whether it is a more a peaceful world or the more equitable world or the work where what have are available. ok, this one says, unavailable. they are acting like will be with the says integrated into them. i
3:53 am
think you to go down the road. okay. mark as another sees the be sold alone. so other diseases and health problems being one of many other problems facing the work that i'm afraid, am i read oldest on low down the list of i'm the most integrated temper, etc. but printers, there's been one of the many problems that we don't want to partition between my problem is because in your program what the lessons, the conflict is the pick up in my disaster. but i think we need the smaller kind of unified approach. and everyone has the rules of the patient or a environment list. yeah, i think i think the other piece because it go yeah, looks like i just been getting. yeah. i mean, how much money is that being pulled into this research to try and find solutions to a boss? it is the same amount of money that was bought into and finding solutions for carpet mount. when governments were forced to act, they did, they put money into it, they subsidized the companies to develop new therapy. we would develop new anti
3:54 am
politics quite quickly. i'm one of the issues as well as that many companies i have withdrawn from the field of development of new anti politics. in many cases, the drama with tons that you typically see what other therapies of carriers. i just know that instead we need more funding from government and organized labor organizations from the private sector and from that they're nation. so other research partnerships to continue the basic research to find new treatments. so you're basically saying that the big fob is not interested if there's not a big profit margin involved. no, it's, it's more complicated than that. um, but what i was, i will say is that the economic incentives for developing a new drug. and you have to box it. um it just is just not that. so you're developing at a loss is all anti biotech that would be used in an extreme cases. you don't want
3:55 am
to use it widely. i'm most on to bile today. what most of the time, and that really cheap, generally cheap, readily available, just in part why they use um, in agriculture and so, and the problem because when these common antibiotics no longer what, what color that you want to come in the? yeah, i think uh, i just, i think it's a, it's both covered the problem with developing new antibiotics. this is a bus missed if you got to print it, do i have to but think i can just do kind of start using it then before nobody was like but assistance to it because the resistance of the natural phenomena, it's been with us since the funded by 670 years ago. so regardless of the business model, good. uh, this is not going to be funded, but anyway, so we need a public goats approach as opposed to an individual, the companies coming in and developing visual doctor and they're about to approve.
3:56 am
the other thing is that they do the easy stuff with different union and they, well, once a year from union has done something good and back to that is really all brought the excessive use of our deep micro bills. as a result of the last few years, a didn't want to, to use, has really gone down your costs. that generated political problems even had to a farmer than phones, belgium and many other countries are writing, including leading to the political in on. so you see in your notice, so it's a politic decides they should, em are agenda. we come picketing to see alongside the politicize ation of the congress changes. and so if you look into that complex, we also see the challenge ahead that we have to face the regardless of the technical solutions of the amount of money which for update on it will come to the end of the program. i'd like to give you the final say being of the full front of looking after people who have this problem and you'll facing it and say, well, your colleagues, what would your appeal be to the, the, the,
3:57 am
the move is in the shape because it could be any, make the decisions as to how to you might say stop a ball is actually the coloring incoming society when they're all conflict zones or climate changes affect to the community. i think we need to go back, go back to basics like like okay said prevention is key and to have accessibility to proper living condition, hygiene, etc. are the basics, are the basics prevention vaccine nation of teen alter these are prerequisites for, you know, forgetting for preventing micro investments. we need to think of it as an echo resistant, lots of the vertical thing. it's really needs to be integrated and everything you do. elizabeth, like when you're thinking of climate change, we need to think about it in every gesture we do everyday. yeah, it needs to be the same. well, let's hope it can be in some shape or for both of them, but we have to leave it that we have come to the end of all. probably gonna take
3:58 am
hold of my guess the cash capella on the farm and alice to follow you and thank you as well for watching. you can see the program again any time by visiting our website. it's all just every adult. come on for further discussion. go to on facebook page. let's facebook dot com forward slash ha inside store. you can also have join the conversation on x, i'll handle that resides a inside story for me. so robin and all of a team here. thanks for your time and your company, the in nature or 9 made catastrophes. ali rates who is why severe weather events are resulting in other words, think devastation. the variety of human factors means their intensity and impact is a purely natural and the politics behind normalizing climate changes was affect if i was supposed to be seen as normal. but if that's something that should have to happen to any one, is it really a natural disaster?
3:59 am
oh, hell, the permit on al jazeera injustice for me is the driving force of why i do this to show people what it's like to live in places where injustice isn't something you read in. the news is something that happens to every single day. whether it's a war, a natural disaster, whether it's political corruption, making sure they understand in a simple language is absolutely crucial. the cities already 50 percent evacuated. most of those people actually left in the early days at the will. i couldn't do this job without the best cumberland, best produces the best spaces and those of the people to ireland in order to be able to get that message out to the world. one day i might be covering politics. the post office a from serbia is a 100. what's most important to me is talking to people understanding what they are
4:00 am
going through so that i can convey the headlines from the most human way possible. we believe everyone has a story worth hearing. the . ready hello, i'm down, jordan and joe. hi with a quick reminder, the top story 0 and i'll just say are gaza, hasn't you had one of its deadly as days in recent weeks with at least 77 palestinians killed across the street since tuesday morning. at least 30 died in an attack on a school housing, just based people in the south. children have been playing football just moments before the last time that i would have been a brief moment of a spike. quick attempt of tragedy in the aftermath of the attack and the tone of us on there was just a trail of bodies. this is the 4th is really attacking
