earth. stortford you are real leverage on t.w. . the state of your news log from berlin democracy derailed and the un marked the military seizes power and declares a state of emergency for at least a year soldiers have detained de facto leader announcement suchi triggering the widespread fear of a violent crackdown on democratic voices also coming up. portugal's health system

on the verge of collapse germany is one of several in new nations offering to help the country which has become the dorms coronavirus hot spot in the world. and in the u.s. the deadline looms for ex-president trying to respond to his impeachment charge the investigation into the attack on the capital gathers and paints and widens in scope . on the car fellas welcome to the program condemnation around the world of the military coup in myanmar the army has seized power and imposed a year long state of emergency the move follows a landslide win by aung sun suu cheese and l d party in an election the army says was marred by fraud soldiers have detained along with dozens of political leaders activists and journal. yes the united

nations security council has called an emergency session for tuesday. off to the arrests the power grab military vehicles lined up in myanmar's capital make the tao soldiers now patrolling the streets a clear sign of who's in control. will this was the moment a member of parliament was whisked away in a predawn raid one of many from aung san suu cheese ruling national league for democracy or any of the party the door of her home is once more looks she previously spent nearly 15 years under house arrest in opposition to an earlier period of military rule in a statement suit she said i urge people not to accept this to respond and wholeheartedly to protest against the coup by the military north easy in myanmar but here in thailand me and most ex-pats made their allegiances clear honoring suchi crimes burning photos of the country's most senior army chief.

i'm terribly upset i've been crying all day be crying all day he's the bad guy how could he do something like this is that. while korean military supporters free flags in celebration on the streets of myanmar the coup was a setback for many others little more than a decade after the country began its transition to democracy the army is back in charge. civilian and you know that you know that i feel the army assaulted all the people when it states this deal when the civilian government and a government elected by a people. on out there you are countries just a bird learning to fly for life no. wings is another goal but like you know. presidents have been queuing at cash machines and rushing to

stock car for an essential as myanmar is catapulted into an uncertain future. let's bring in dave groom baum he's a journalist who spent many years reporting from ian martin joins us on the line now for hi dave the coup has caused condemnation around the world the u.s. is even threatening sanctions is that likely to have any effect on the army commanders. it's likely not going to have significant impact keep in mind that for decades when myanmar was under a military rule there are crippling economic sanctions on the country which did have an enormous impact on the general population and the country went from one of the richest to one of the poorest with so many people living in the extreme poverty but the military generals and their cronies in the business unit the business elite go live very well so that's not likely to have a big impact they've been through this before now there could be targeted economic

sanctions where you just target specific individuals that's a big general but that happened before the senior gentleman online as as had as they targeted sanctions they clearly took these cows made these calculations before going through with this military coup of the question's going to be how does what kind of help does china give to me m.r. how do they help the general during the days of the dictatorship that's where me m.r. leaned on was there was the with the ties that have with china and clearly any signs of china could potentially move in china has a strong interest in myanmar a lot of that could be offset by help from china. house and since he has called on her supporters to resist how big is her power now that she's under house arrest again. but you know to the masses of people in the m.r. she's clearly the most influential person there is the most beloved person across the country now she did get a statement that was really a statement i was prepared and it has the patience of being placed are being

detained that she got out to that i was already set up and put out yesterday where she talked about resisting the question now is she ever going to be able to get any messages going or to out to them to try to encourage them to do things so that's really question how can she continue to have impact with the common people but here's the thing they have already heard her initial calls to resent the question is will the people want to have any mass demonstrations to show resistance to the military will they be willing to do that and what repercussions could they face from the military because the military in the past has sometimes quenched squashed revolt with violent violent maneuvers and often deadly force i was journalist they've grown about on the line from kuala lumpur now let's take a look at some other stories making headlines around the world today. delegates from libya are meeting in geneva to choose an interim government ahead of elections

scheduled for the end of the year the libyan political dialogue forum is being mediated by the united nations and the select transitional leaders by friday. russian prosecutors have backed a request to imprison opposition figure out for 3 and a half years on embezzlement charges this comes a day after $5000.00 people were arrested in protests across russia calling for an evolving is released. in portugal as covert 19 infection rates continue to skyrocket and germany and austria are planning to help relieve the overburdened health care system for sure goal is currently the world's worst coronavirus hotspot in the past week it's had the highest number of new cases for capita and the highest death rate a state of emergency there has been extended until mid february this is the 2nd field hospital being built on this university come to us in this bone with a few dates this time the basketball court is being converted into

a temporary clinic for 150 covert patients. jawad ok usually runs the university's sports facilities but in recent weeks he has also been working as an emergency. sports facilities they are very flexible and it's very easy to adopt the sport sold to a field hospital more difficulty is to putin cite the human resources put to run. these kind of. doctors from germany are among those preparing to work at this temporary corona hospital they are part of the medical team from the german military that is said to are rife in part about on wednesday lispunds largest hospital right across the street from the university campus has been under massive strain for days almost all of portugal's intensive care beds are occupied and there is an acute shortage of equipment the pressure on parts of god's health system

seems to become unbearable ambulances often have to wait for several hours in front of the hospital before their patients can be added to it and many fear that in the coming days numbers will continue to grow. joe out ok it's getting things set up for the stuff off the makeshift clinic he had mobile homes installed for the medics to take breaks during their long exhausting shifts the mobile home project began 2 weeks ago and is already supported by more than $200.00 volunteers and 50 vehicles . i should i couldn't what work here is pretty emotional last week a doctor knocked on my door and wanted to thank us she said she offered spirit i think in addition to a place to sleep the medical stuff sometimes need support 40000 precisely limiting it because each day the volunteers think that solidarity is the one positive thing

to have come off the crisis and the fact that germany and other european countries are now offering help is giving an international dimension to that feeling of solidarity. as senate democrats and the united states gear up for adults from 2nd impeachment trial in a week's time the former president has until tuesday to formally respond to the charge against him he is accused of inciting the deadly insurrection at the capitol on january 6th meanwhile the investigation into the riot itself continues scores of people have already been arrested and what is amounting to a probe of unparalleled scope. fierce and diehard supporters of donald trump scaling the walls of the u.s. capitol these images showing what is now called an attack on democracy an insurrection and failed coup attempt in which 5 people died still causes disbelief

and concern shock and anxiety for millions of americans today however just hours after the storming of capitol hill on january 6th federal authorities started multiple investigations in how exactly this happened and who is responsible for it all almost 4 weeks after the attack on capitol hill this fence and the bob were pretty much the only visual signs and reminders of what had happened on january 6th here but behind the curtains and behind the doors the investigation into what happened and who is responsible for this is in full gear. hundreds of 50 eye agents at headquarters in washington and from dozens of field offices all across the u.s. are following thousands of leads federal agents are sifting through an unprecedented amount of evidence including at least 2 100000 digital tipoffs from various sources media platforms. at least 300 people are under active investigation and at least 150 have been arrested so far officials say this was just the 1st face

of what they say is an investigation of unprecedented scope the investigation will shift a little bit from low hanging fruit off people let's say who filled themself attacking and getting into the capital committing one crime or another it will shift now into a more complex and. complicated way why is that because now the f.b.i. will look into conspiracy in organization in organized crime how much was organized of this attack what was the suit level of sophistication in preparing for the attack and who was involved. federal authorities say they're in for the long haul when it comes to their investigations and answering these and other questions back on capitol hill the temporary fence surrounding much of it will perhaps also remain for longer than originally planned the interim chief of the

capitol police wants it to become a permanent fixture. meanwhile much of the east coast of the united states is being hammered by a major winter storm causing widespread disruption cities including new york and boston have even suspended their coronavirus vaccination programs as they brace for what could become a record breaking blizzard. authorities started sending out winter storm warnings as the 1st flakes began to fall on sunday night public bus and commuter rail services were suspended in many areas across the northeast of the usa thousands of flights were canceled and schools closed meaning disruption for daily life in new york city mayor bill de blasio said the snow meant the city's fight against covert 19 would also have to go on hold situation obviously the 1st thing to say is that this storm is disrupting our vaccination effort and we need to keep people safe we

don't want folks especially seniors going out in unsafe conditions i think vaccinated shortly afterwards new york state governor andrew cuomo declared a state of emergency in the city and denied other counties he warned residents of a tough 2 days ahead if the storm reaches its maximum potential the white house could threaten the previous record snowfall set back in 2016 that storm sold the city pummeled with 70 centimeters of snow. but heavy snowfall and strong winds didn't deter many who were determined to make the most of the wintery conditions on monday. were central park on the drive and the planned it is the city until i get too tired have to go home. with officials urging people in the region to stay off the roads and avoid non-essential travel be either in the park or at home seems right now to be by far the best

option. i want to fly from berlin up next is the documentary a prophet or life with the love of god the power of the pharmaceutical industry about where you can get all the latest news on our website around the clock that's dot com still make sure to also follow us on social media and off it at stay that way you know it's funny and the entire team in the newsroom. imagine how many pushes old loves us turn out in the morning climb a tree a different call from stores this is my place where from just one week. can really just. we still have time to our fun doing.

what. we know mission the claymore done by name is michelle and i'm a father of 2 children who i was diagnosed with cancer wrote about. 2 weeks later my life looked radically different has never been the same sorts of. even 2 rounds of chemotherapy couldn't treat mikhail's aggressive cancer only hong glute. create a self if left untreated i would die in 2 or 3 months at best. so it's incredibly serious to clear. here's my last hope is a gene therapy with cancer killing cells such as kim mariah from novo artists with a price tag of 370000 swiss francs and camera is just the beginning

a new drug let's turn it was injected into it on $850000.00 gens but it's now the most expensive drug on earth right. $1000000000.00 how willing a society to bear the costs of withholding or do let someone die to save money or power at these prices calculated valmont do it southwest of the coals pharmaceutical companies sound the market to determine what can they get out of it and will limit ceaselessly meet the. board health insurance companies pay these record prices. 55370000 francs is a lot of money and we can't afford it was what can you do. it's tricky it's hard to tell what the future has in store.

we're going to get this cancer. let's hope so. michela and has a rare and aggressive form of lymph node cancer his crooked mouth also comes from the disease. his last hope is kim riaa a completely new treatment just approved last fall. samples are taken of the patient's own immune cells and these are sent to a noble artist laboratory in the us there the cells are genetically modified and reprogrammed into cancer killing cells. after being multiplied and frozen these cells are sent back to switzerland. the patient receives the killer cells in one single infusion with

a price tag of 370000 swiss francs according to the novara just catalogue. it remains unclear whether the health insurance companies will pay for camera they have joined together to negotiate a discount. on melting of ice and i work for the insurer hazel where i negotiate contracts with the pharmaceutical industry we're currently negotiating the price of kim rai with novartis. the price is too much she says partly because it is unclear what long term effects can royal will have and whether the cancer will return. official and it isn't quite clear to us how the price came about we didn't receive any cost breakdown and don't know why the price is so high you thought i had skin i was all. welcome to pharma companies provide that gonski formally and there is no human has to hold the price prices down i've never seen on the whole i mean this and i think they try to start with as high

a price as possible because in the end it always gets negotiated down still highly manoir the 1st price they set is just a starting place it's off now it's a real problem if you ask me i couldn't tell you what we consider bill if it was in any go. they discussed whether health insurance should pay. only in the event of success but what is success when it comes to cancer there's no solution in sight and for the time being every insurer is deciding for themselves. time's low cost of sure to pre refuses to pay for q mariah the benefits are not clear enough they sing . the house to be honest i was furious because this stinks of incompetence she gets in the end it's like the wild west you will see you can fly shit those who can afford treatment so the ones who get a chance to have a. and for others it's not clear whether they can do to your health care yes.

mchale's relatives want to fund the treatment themselves put the hospital is demanding half a 1000000 francs as security. after a camera infusion some patients reactions require transfer to the intensive care unit to leave because the gobby these kindly willing to give 850000 franc advance on her inheritance. squared are also new to me too so i'm also getting an advance on an inheritance. when my brothers spot their houses they got their share and i haven't needed it so far so but soca want it now i'd like to use it for this and it's also cool. heads who should know it's not me covered almost exactly see it going to get it really touch me that a lot of people i know are ready to give 10000 francs if it will help saying they know it isn't much so. that there are

a lot of people like that and it really touches down the hall who benefits because everyone realizes that in the worst case scenario the money will simply be going to fall in the very worst case it won't even have done any good to fall. back east. according to nova arches one and a half years after treatment 40 percent of patients like me. still have cancer. that's a start but could it be better. if. those made of course but the drug i'm currently on had a 20 percent chance of success. in the south was good there were days when i thought that's it as he gets older. i could only hope my final hours would go quickly told us it's done i didn't want my family to have to watch forever as that and for me to be a never ending with a work out committee and i didn't want to lie around like a vegetable and drugs all strogatz with the. stupak musique in the dog.

about a dozen cancer patients cannot be treated due to the price dispute critics might claim the health insurers are at fault with terminally ill patients running out of time and dying while negotiations my go on with no bar to see the full your there's this level of need the thought of but that's not the case we all share the responsibility because we've yet to find a solution to this all around less than ideal situation politics not so. mikhail monch times family has scraped together half a 1000000 francs he is the 1st lymphatic cancer patient in switzerland to receive can ryan. did the border. mikhail has

a muenster taken from him that will be shipped by plane to the us where they will be converted into cancer killing cells referred to as carty cells. will the treatment work week iles cancer is growing so every day counts. instead of me and it takes a while for the cells to be produced in a best case scenario it will be 4 weeks but it may take a little longer since so many products are sent in put took the high concept of the eye and called it the. go ahead to ensure the funds are available to go come to ny is prepared to issue a bank guarantee that and we are supposed to deposit everything into a special escrow account 1st at beck pierced and see we'll make sure it's not touched but this way we can proceed with treatment by their father murphy earlier lymph nodes it. was

a pro. moved through clinical trials funded by novara case. the see here i can feel at least 2. experts criticize the fact that the effect of can riaa has been tested on less than 100 patients worldwide before the war period was much than 2 years and can mariah was not compared to an existing treatment so the long term effects remain unknown this criticism generally holds true for other trials on her diseases. but naturally patients want the treatment as soon as possible and the companies present the study results as positively as they can says antonia miller. this is the case everywhere and it's intuitive although there have also been studies with carty cells that have to be aborted because test subjects were dying and there were too

many side effects up or and. because that went out isn't that crazy. wow well by most i will say yes but we're also talking about patients who would otherwise die along with all their can comets and diseases that's. it's nice and watched and that's our world has gotten impatient and our patients have to we're not just going to say to them let's wait 5 years and all that's the problem it's bottom of if you have a. brain. the trial with these deaths didn't concern novartis which conducted follow up studies on safety and efficacy. but what do you say about no barkus is price as it's in south sudan prices i find the prices in general to be staggering in many areas if you need to and not just those of novartis. ornon these prices are completely nontransparent to patients and to us doctors or it's.

someone enabling all. all of this to go on because there are vested interests and mine so there are reasons why they want to be on the company's good side this pushed into interestingly to whom they're stacking the 1610 film and then measure their wives stand off it because they could also produce in india or china and can afford c. and so it means jobs in basel alberts that's an it's the jobs of course and if you look at switzerland for example it doesn't have much industry but it does boast a few of the world's most important pharmaceutical companies a 55 i can sell it. at no fortresses plant in the town of dine in argo switzerland we meet with the head of cell and gene therapy in europe a month away austronesian. so this will be. this will be a key site for. they avoid talking about

numbers here but cancer patients expect a price discount if the transport costs to the us are eliminated. no says mr austin e. because the production side doesn't affect the price it is the value of gene therapy that is relevant meaning a prolonged life. this is a paradigm shift because the pharmaceutical industry used to justify its prices with high research costs. the principle of value based prices is wrong health insurers say because a human life is ultimately priceless and they estimate that premiums will rise by more than 10 percent over 10 years due to the cost of medicines. and you're not afraid that the health care system could break if you continue like this. no i'm not afraid i think we can find the solutions we are open to

take the resources the kinds we're open to take risks with with our stakeholders to make sure that we can bring the therapies that patients. the pharmaceutical industry calls this risk sharing with those insured bearing part of the risk including the risk for camera which was not even invented by no bar to small. these cancer coming cells trace their origins back to the university of pennsylvania and this is far from an isolated case with more than 60 percent of newly approved drugs in the u.s. not stemming from pharmaceutical companies that are german army a professor at the university of pennsylvania my team invented. in 2465 years old but i think they're working on the. 19

right. carl june was named one of the world's 100 most influential people by time magazine in 2018 the 1st actually test of this is in patients read it yet factually because they have lost to the virus many of their own t. cells. 2 years later my wife died of ovarian cancer in 2001 and so i really needed to move from hiv the to do really all cancer or. at the time however he did not receive a dollar from the pharmaceutical industry because the treatment initially only worked on mice but not human it's ok well what we know for sure is that the. fundin essential a was essential to make a new industry so to have fair lathrop in. government support it was

millions there was millions it was probably $20000000.00 i mean. i think for sure $20000000.00 were invested between when i came to university of pennsylvania in 1990 until nov artists at the alliance were made in 2012 but the riskiest part was state and government yes all the initial research that showed this new concept of our car teams could work was the academic laboratories. in 22 and came the breakthrough in the cancer patient douglas olson however it was the news of 7 year old emily whitehead that spread around the world think i'm ryan saved the young leukemia patients mind and even 7 years after the infusion she remained cancer free. the treatment is more effective in children than adults. we had hundreds of calls for a venture capitalist warning to start new companies that fortunately had no part of

call us about one of their commercial artist. inventing a drug is one thing says novartis but putting the research into practical use through a market launch is costly and time consuming insiders say no part is paid the university of about 225000000 for the exclusive right to sell q mariah. and novartis is paying the university about 5 percent of the sales price for each infusion the group has no comment on this the health care industry is not transparent and it's not been designed for the benefit directly of a patient and transparency our most recent estimates. are around $55000.00 just to make the cars the cell that's our cost per patient and with no profit. so the actual cost is almost $7.00 times cheaper the university however had only done small scale trials with camera while

novartis had to fund world wide studies to attain market approval and build centers to produce the treatment to. make a dime is still waiting for his cancer killing cells from the us when suddenly a message comes from nova artists the group will give him the riaa for free. plus amusement of all things were killed with joy and very relieved immediately the beak . i mean you always a lot of money at stake and also of azza will start their own cult of what about other came via patients standing looking on. those i don't know novartis is a plan c. and that's right ethically it's a delicate question as to whom the hardest gives free trade not to use of course. the 1st 2 swiss patients are being given ki mariah for free because negotiations

with health care insurers are taking so long no far to 6 planes. mikail moonshine a father of 2 children will all to lose the race against time nope artists usa informs him that his cancer killing cells have not managed to multiply well enough to produce camera. 900 days later he dies. my name is paul cloyd can then in the pharmaceutical industry for 30 years in the

last position was a us president and chief executive officer of a company i am retired now and over the last 5 years i have been dealing with and then curable cancer. so car and what it's like to show us all the medications that i have to take in a day. this being the most important one just as my anti-cancer drug. this product is to take one of these capsules for a day the cost of those a $750.00 each and entrusting only enough they only cost $1.00 each to manufacture what do you think about the prize the 370000 swiss francs for a camera that's ridiculous car it never happened this is a product that was developed at the expense of the us taxpayer did you have a different view when you were still

a former manager than you have now on your industry. the answer is. yes current and. for 2 reasons 1st i was not a patient i've been part of the system i've been a my family's been a beneficiary of that system. i really didn't know any better at the time you know you go to work at the get a perspective which is the company perspective and what you learn as you get older is your perspective combs much wider. than is the former c.e.o. of a company acquired by nope artists in 2002 he says no participants are benefited from a 50 percent discount on the cost of its trials with camera this was the us is when you have incentivizing research on a rare diseases it's people like myself who actually have funded the development pro to the development program or half the development program of camaraderie and

what they get in return is basically a punch in the teeth from the artist. recreated a price model for camera based on nov artistas claims that it had invested over 1000000000 euros by the time the treatment was approved. i calculated a fair price current all for $200000.00 per infusion in 2019 using the assumptions using the assumption that novo artists were generated total of $1700.00 patients and fusions out of 14. to 14000 potentially. goes on if you can actually drop that price it can be reduced to about half of 370000 francs the fair price is calculated in such a way that no bar to sit cheats an average operating profit of 20.7 percent the research cost averaging at 17.3 percent are also included in this calculation the

health insurer associates. sometimes truce is also demanding a price of $200000.00 francs for camera. looked at the document you sammy the document is full of incorrect information they came with the correct information i cannot give you that and i am up i cannot comment on it because it is not ardent darr data it is not our document the criticism on the farm are not just snowboarders but on the farmers in transparency it's growing worldwide we hear it we age o.b. hear it with the health insurers with the public because the public is the payer. are you afraid that this will damage the image of nobodies. are not afraid of damage to the term of ours or you mention in transparency transparency is required across the system not just from one party our government is asking for transparency because we have a transparent list for prices i think it's the opposite. or it can be discussed in

a broader group i think it's a bit it's a different conversation. 71 year old quarter ending it. also has left no cancer and he says if he has the strength he goes out with his dollars because of the price dispute he has had to wait 3 months for the health insurer to decide whether to pay for camera. quite a few could you afford it if the health insurance didn't pay when he owned approach and i were 100 percent sure it would work i would sell my house but i can't like that if it doesn't work my wife will be left with nothing that's out of the question in my eyes that ever it is that must also ban it if the company didn't pay for you or you wouldn't do it to me no it's too risky scone because the low chance

of being cured. and. each year around 110 cancer patients in switzerland who have undergone all other treatments to no avail receive camera and the 64 year old teacher anton shows are in but maryland is one of them. if you don't have that the question is what is a human life worth it is to put it bluntly you are over 60 if a young person asks how much longer do you have left is it even worth it when curing your illness is a best case scenario and does it hurt to hear that kind of question. now you have it if the internet now and it's so you know but i've also met young people in the hospital who are in greater need when you look at it that way. i've lived a decent life and it's been nice so far share. some harsh i almost feel ashamed even though i didn't set the price you feel very uncomfortable and so guilty but

it's the only chance he has left of course you're not going to say no. do you feel guilty sure. now i really need billy not really i was in good health for a long time and paid premiums for decades it never really needed anything that i might be not have the stroke this came as a surprise in court. his health insurance is also paying for him right now. the price negotiations between the insurers and novartis took 4 months with the price being haggled up and down like at a bazaar. some insurers threw in the towel while others came to an agreement with novartis. insiders say insurers wanted a 45 percent discount on camera out for treating lymphatic cancer which was too much for novartis they instead agreed to a 20 to 30 percent discount to pending on coming riaa success rate meaning about

250002300000 francs but no one is willing to talk about. the agreement after all is confidential in fact it is so shrouded in secrecy that health insurers such as concordia which were not in on the deal well not even find out their discount on till they have signed the contract to fit in with ink it's scandalous this is the 1st time i know of for us to conclude a contract where we don't even know the price that was issued that's unheard of in swiss health care with prices and contract clause as a normally transparent rolls but you can usually check what you have to pay for hospital treatment and cost transparency is very important in health care otherwise we subjugate ourselves to the big corporations. court pending or has to have another cell sample taken because novartis didn't

manage to produce the cancer killing cells in the us as they did for me. and those who are it's free of course it doesn't feel good things were looking up and asked to show them their wanton off cells at strain a cut. in the approval study for camera one 3rd of patients could not be treated at all either because the cancer killing cells couldn't be produced the patients illness. had progressed too far or they had died waiting like mikail moonshine. anton schlosser receives good news from the us his cancer killing cells have been successfully produced and are on their way to switzerland and the cons it is in one sense and then you get about these cards here man cells cells that are even stronger than normal immune cells and seen in the last many moods and when immune cells get into action there are side effects last time i saw

a chanst may experience fever circulatory problems or even organ failure. in that site at best kidney failure for instance has been observed in about 20 percent of patients once but some of the needed eyeless us that just has at least puts in. and mattel use it as a potential most. cancer killing cells can feel patients and kill them. so those cells are the last hope for those who would otherwise die of the disease. you know michel for jerry my name is alfred scheidegger and i'm a risk capital investor day here in san francisco i'm attending the world's biggest health care conference. alfred china grrr invests in small biotech companies

developing new cancer drugs. have a good day about his goal is to sell me a small companies to pharmaceutical companies for a profit. so. this is how are you doing yes actually doing ok for those playability start what we're doing. is good but 1st. mr shiner what's going on here that's a shot so it's like a marriage market it's unbelievable. if you run into all kinds of biotech companies especially own political ones that fall off a list pharmaceutical companies aiming to take over small companies later on once they've provided proof that their cancer drug is effective in humans like we do and that it's in the. 60 percent of new drugs are not developed by pharmaceutical companies but by small biotech companies they need

a lot of money for studies with patients and this money comes from investors like alfred schott ika and marcus horsa. try to close company often invests during the early stages of research but the pharmaceutical industry pays the most when a biotech company is about to launch a new drug on the market so far this is why the us company of texas the place secondly $90000000000.00 gilliatt scientists that we defy kites farm out for almost $12000000000.00 no march as has now demanding a record price of $2100000.00 for of excess treatment in the state the vicinity fuels there are calculations involved that have an impact on the price hike and the fact you have to gain back your investment and of course that's part of the market price in the event based on tired of shills for mock plays with kim riaa nov artist managed to avoid dealing with the biotech companies for investors by signing

a contract directly with the university saving them billions. for patient court bending or at a hospital camera is able to be successfully produced on the 2nd try. carry a few more than 3000000 liters costs 370000 francs. does that if this is a discussion that i frankly do not want to get into now at a patient's bedside yeah i've still got a life to live. i feel like i can't be hit you have high hopes it will work. and tom shows are received his infusion 2 days earlier. yet said that he did this how are you doing fine so i. heard it tired right i fall

asleep even if i want to watch something. mechlin you tell of the camera is working and it's invasive for your heart it's too early we hope so of course but we can't tell through food and we have high expectations of course it's it was all asking me for a moment no government representative on the phone informs her of new problems with camera since it is considered a hospital treatment the cantons have to cover 55 percent of the cost. may be our stock in the set no we're starting the process in parallel to buy the car because it because it's a vicious circle because the health insurance only covers the costs if the cantonal government also agrees to give its part has of the supplies it does allow for by you know each of them says they'll only do it if the other has already agreed to the stem cut.

make and it's with meeting with jenny levy an investment banker from hong kong where she covers china and they clean up. china conducts the most trials on cancer killing cells worldwide and market observers say if the treatment is approved there it will cost about $70000.00 to kind of argue the trend and do you know that really big plus that it will get growth that jenny lee says the chinese government is putting pressure on pharmaceutical companies. that part then they have to lower their drugs to the approach based on marketing they said they are a bit yeah that because you'll want new games that will be a huge volume of the clock so that was all you yeah is the lot of them if the pharmaceutical companies read my mind those high priced really the tiniest market

cannot afford the tiniest patients are our insurance system so you'll be all lost lawsuits. are. also use this about profit or saving lives psalm of the. sixty's existence the existential justification of a private company is to generate profits while simple feat. and that comes before life. i can't really answer that question. anton trowsers wife documents his treatment using a cell phone. there is no use that no depressed no. agitated. in the 1st days

he has fever and chills so only minor side effects. it's the same story out in social retard with court bending or coming down with a fever but otherwise he feels fine. so do you feel like it's doing a good. cover i can't say that we don't know yet on their. heart this. somatic and right this biotech company is researching in the booming field of medicines for rare diseases referred to as orphan drugs just like a mariah when you say 3 locations or. are just a few we're focusing on morphine is an issue yet. in the us and e.u.

orphan drugs receive exclusive marketing rights with similar products from competitors excluded from approval for up to 10 years states each is all come off to the cities a little or is built to incentivize research because once you obtain approval you enjoy a sort of exclusivity for several years a competitor can't just launch on the market that's exclusivity told to like it if we see exclusive dates. in the us the orphan drug act was enacted almost 40 years ago today the politician who initiated it was not meant that some pharmaceutical companies are exploiting their monopoly to increase their profits. the topic of orphan drugs and market exclusivity also reached switzerland a few years ago. just a. moment ladies and gentlemen pursuant to council regulations

before engaging in the debate on this topic i hereby disclose my vested interests. i am the president of into going to the swiss association of generic drug and bio similar manufacturers. in order to promote the development of medicines for rare diseases pharmaceutical companies should enjoy market exclusivities for 10 years for orphan drugs during this period no other medicinal product should be approved for the same therapeutic indication unless it is proven to be safer or more effective if you're. the kook this is the point is pharmaceutical companies are not social institutions and they only conduct research when they expect to profit from it this people have to know in order for new drugs for rare diseases to be introduced at all it takes a monopoly and this is achieved through market exclusivity push the market exclusively to it because often. when sebastian flame was voted into parliament he

gave an access badge to novartis lobbyist at the time while no barters and rush donated nearly 900000 swiss francs to the middle class parties last year and the power to mislead fest still at the end of the debate it became clear to us it was not the patients who had gained anything a through this revision of the law on thursday you see a product recently out on being measured caution no but instead the main changes have been about his coffers to be filled up even though no i don't believe him sorry throughout the commission's deliberations and still here today i feel like i and perhaps others here to have only been aware of a fraction of all the lobbying going on here in the background lobby are right on the interest since the 1st. calls and others had consequences. but i received a reprimand from past. then the head of novartis. creature

and what did he say. your head he emailed me because he wanted to meet with us and discuss our stance. of methadone so he claimed we were not being pharmaceutical friendly in the law making it harder to be there i thought it was outrageous for him to interfere with my parliamentary work in parliament are the shelf that had that ever happened before i never experienced that previously or again at lap. the debate went on for 2 years and the national council voted in favor of market exclusivity twice but the council of states opposed it the monopoly didn't pass but instead a stripped down measure protecting orphan drugs did. one month after the infusion with a camera and one schlosser is thoroughly examined. did kim royal work

and has the cancer disappeared. yes not much i'm 1st going to show you the old pictures there was this lump here or that there was the main mass in the fashion compartment. and of course on your lower leg. it's called and now here's afterword with just some slight activity flower activity a tad that there are still some in the fashion compartment but it's already receded a lot. rainy go. so it's mean if i couldn't have expected things to go any better for that that's the old tumor mass has completely disappeared without a trace of inflammation can you tell if he's in remission or could the cancer come back again. we don't have a crystal ball we don't know that but it's a good start that's an obvious. that's come you can never rule it out but with kim

treatment waits with carty cells still need more data not to quote. meanwhile in social retard court pending his cancer also disappeared immediately after the treatment. of course i'm glad i can get home and i'm done wearing this mask. we can take care and enjoy life and it's the matter covered with alcohol that's the good to see. his doctor doesn't want to give a prognosis according to the no watches study it takes about one year to know which patients have overcome lymphatic cancer for good. more than half die. and it's not yet clear how the cancer killing cells develop in the body in the long term but. in this brave new world of
