12:20 pm
discipline and desire and more important it's not the fear of failure that drives them is the fear of missing the chance to play in a world cup on home turf they are so well received most rapidly and if they really want russia to host the twenty mile cap it's my life's purpose if we keep working hard we have a good chance of making the team but the training is no walk in the park before they can even touch the ball they must ensure a punishing nonstop fitness routine for the first hour the coaches know the boys have talent but it's their hunger that's the key this man is no stranger to that he knows what it takes to play in a world cup. with a defender for the u.s.s.r. in the one nine hundred seventy championships bags of hercules. i was gripped by a burning desire to see the world but how could i do that in those days so i told myself that i would be a football player i pledged that never in my life would i smoke a cigarette or drink a gram of wine. you know he never had the chance to play in
12:21 pm
a world cup at home but he knows it's something not to be missed and visiting and playing in front of your own fans hearing the whole country support behind you is something you can't beat richard as a footballer you want nothing else i never got the chance but if these boys do very little change their lives was who pulls a matter of national pride in russia this is how the country reacted when the team reached the semifinals of the two thousand a european championship i. hope this supports the swing fief is vote for you some of. the most important thing is that it is a national sport which is loved in every city and village in this country with the i am the found support here is unconditional they just want more to cheer about you know winning this feed will help. them with a world cup at home would give us an. very similar

talented young lawyers to defend the honor of person for those men with the emblems of pressure on their chest. is the only thing these boys dream. i've given it hearty moscow. international pharmaceutical companies want to fire for allegedly testing a new drugs on people in india without their consent around two million people are estimated to be taking part in clinical trials in the country but even those who do sign are home told the full story about potentially dangerous side effects. any india government run hospitals provide low cost treatment to the poor but there are increasing claims that being made guinea pigs in drug trials for western pharma companies without their knowledge here at the. hospital in indoor the north has been taking pills for the last six months on the advice of his doctor he suspects he's being experimented upon. to get to me i had
12:23 pm
a pain in my abdomen they did all sorts of tests and gave me all sorts of pills to have in the morning afternoon and night but i haven't got any better i'm. sure a cat that they can test any medication they like call me. allegations have surfaced in the media that the hospital conducts illegal drug trials on patients police are investigating the complaint the hospital officials say any trials are being conducted in accordance with government guidelines india is fast becoming a global hot spot for testing new drugs with two million people estimated to be taking part in clinical trials routes without their consent. drug trials are increasing here because they cost just one sixth of what they do in the west the regulatory system here is comparatively corrupt companies can easily register patients and begin trials giving informed consent to be part of an experiment is

the golden rule of all clinical trials but many patients here sign on the dotted line without understanding the nature and the consequences of what's being administered to them. are americans or treaty indians as guinea pigs the patients being used for trials are illiterate and pool they don't even know details of the drug that it is a drug trial this is unethical. patients sometimes sign up out of desperation to them experimental health care is better than none at all. but we agreed to let her child be treated with a new drug which she's been told will bring his fever down. the treatment history sound happy with it. there are regulations in place to monitor drug trials including setting up takes committees and hospitals to ensure patient safety but these are often used by doctors to simply rubber stamp trials so. it's
12:25 pm
a very ad hoc system that is misused for instance a medical institute and for women by gives permission for a drug trial in cities like indoor pulp all enjoyable poor how can you use permission from an ethical committee of another institute in another city to just appoint a drug trials institute here with over one thousand three hundred drug trials currently being conducted in india this industry is already said to be worth one billion dollars yet it's clear that the laws against unethical trials are not working and the government will have to come up with other ways to stop the country's poor from being enticed into medical experiments that could potentially have serious side effects got unseeing r.t. india. briefly strangely and the prime minister today can't help initial they're depending on that it's just too much a form of government help to saturday's election where most of the vote counted the country is facing its first palm and in seventy years no policies like these when the seventy six seats needed for an outright majority were killed on who remain as
