12:34 am
a conspiracy of silence one of the major breakthrough was when we managed to break this conspiracy or save us to make a political leaders so he would use awareness awareness is so critical breaking conspiracy or sailors making should not a political leaders could really end this then that it ha he could be a major major player not only for the health of a people but also for the security and best ability of the wardroom and i think when leaders in court of this missing each we went national harbor is social and will be ization with activists we came to government to ask for resources to make sure we could or break of a project tory obviously to me and today your great michelle as far as i know you made the reduction of h.
12:35 am
the transition from mother to child one of the one of the priorities of your entire . entire presidency in the office so what has been achieved in this you know first of all is a very important to say that is not acceptable that in the twenty first century we still have a four hundred thousand babies born with hiv in africa i knew early enough reka when is not happening in the rest of the world and we know what that goes babies most of them will die for tipper. santer of them will day before their first beveling and you know why it is important because it's possible it's not happening in the global not anymore we harbor drugs we can really make sure that the mavs are getting the mitigation then and then we can stop because mission it's all saw value for money because it will not cost. one hundred dollars to
12:36 am
stop the transmission around their child i mean this one hundred dollars will listen but in this child is born with hiv it will cost more than one hundred fifty thousand dollars only on treatment costs and then. there is a girl even a promise i think that by year two thousand and fifteen there will be no more children born with hiv do you believe it i believe fought for the throne we. put in place if global passed in. a global past in produce a global plan and his group plan has been lunch and today we are seeing a huge movement i came from south africa south africa three years ago there were having what been forty two thousand babies born with me today they are almost close to visit clearly eliminate africa right now i want to hear from saddam and believe me twenty two countries were most affected kin to go over to
12:37 am
a developing accelerated plan to make sure that it will be stopped i was incentive of the world just a few days ago in a wisit in a clinic where they don't have any more babies born with extreme victual and i saw their which where our friend it was so healthy. there where i'm going to be in the sun and we're going for foster families. well actually i was one of the pioneers are. starting to fight against each other was a young journalist i made the first ever television program how about hiv in russia and you know the funny people people who let me use words like condoms like vaginas if you can see this word now i said that how can you go to fight it it's a journey well what about awareness to do here is i knew that today you still are
12:38 am
fighting finding for example for. sexual education of young children so but is awareness of young children today better than it was in back in the night of reagan or you talk about liberation of evolution young people in the direction of new information on this and prevention on revolution was there led by young people why because that today the young people have been equate weaver less kids with it and formation which elop of them to negotiate their sexuality different me and they don't learn to be any more it possibility said is that of our actual we want to be actor of change and i think using those scores and making sure that we're to turn off then having it on which help again then what it means being positive was a major breakthrough in prevention programs so so so to do you know yes there's not
12:39 am
so much also hypocrisy as we used to have years to into the parlance because they have been exposed to so many. seeing their ever. growing with a t.v. in this is certainly because they were not having a communication. all of the kids about sex a very positive balance. disease if you don't talk about it is with your kids and you know they will talk about sex not me or somebody else is better for you to actually the spread of great seems to have provoked a shift of attitudes even within one of the most conservative communities the catholic church spotlights in a dimmy that has more. while the catholic church plays a significant role in caring for people with hiv aids it's also been accused of contributing to the graces because of its opposition to condoms during a trip to africa in two thousand and nine pope benedict the sixteenth said condoms
12:40 am
could make the h.l.v. epidemic worse a year later however the people said in the light of the world that the use of condoms can be justified in very limited circumstances he came up with the example of the male prostitute using a condom to reduce the risk of infection to aids activists the phrase appeared to be a turning point in the church's attitudes and although the vatican eventually issued a definitive ruling saying the changed church teaching the activists felt the door to greater dialogue was opened this event you can host to do conference on the global fight against aids the meeting was said to be partly prompted by confusion over the pope's comments on condom use and h.i.v. prevention and while the churches officials made little in the way of new concessions at the conference they demonstrated in reading this to discuss their
12:41 am
position with their full names. michael moore didn't want to discuss will anybody his religious beliefs or who are all or more more so even try to harm some of these feelings and work their agree that orthodox religion social catholic religion or the russian orthodox sheriff really islam can be really. a problem for for frights with the discussion in countries like in africa friends you know you could be also a solution really yes because not if you look at today what is happening in a lot of developing countries if you look at the network in the glass full of levels the services which are given to people millions of people who suddenly see these are given generally by a trash my favorite is organization you cannot. break this link if you want to really to make sure that your prevention the fight against
12:42 am
discrimination will walk you need all sorts to work with them what we've them in areas where you can agree we are not agreeing on all things but we personally believe that have a new movement which is happening is very improper you can have science if you don't force terribly link between science and social change science will not be used and i personally believe that the church can play. says michele c.d.b. executive director of the un aids and you are not the secretary general spotlight will be back shortly after we take great sound steve that field.
12:43 am
oh mummy. it's life in the sun still a. slow but anyway. i'm on site i'll just say. science technology exists like the city this lasts on our t.v. . i push the ten year old boy. it appears we as officers develop key words for them you know. you never explain to him why it's ok. most people at the point of looking down in time to pull the trigger became concious of gestures. i don't remember squeezing the trigger and i don't think i've
12:44 am
seen him go down i remember so we shall have the six. mothers sires soldiers to soldiers to assault and they're trying to kill us we're trying to kill them i just hope we face a war. each . other. i worked in the war zone and i started seeing how i need to check. in on the way to do their job as a rival filling out a first that's why i'm applying for concerts. oh oh oh oh oh oh.
12:45 am
welcome back to spotlight. just a reminder that my guest in the studio today is michelle sidi executive director of the u.n. aids the u.n. and the secretary-general. during the break where we will continue to discuss this this church matter the church religious aspects find against aids and what church and he said is that the church is becoming more and help then have an obstacle in
12:46 am
awareness in talking to people about it so it's been transforming to and changing yes what i'm trying to say we should we could not. have the opportunity to tap on a social network which is it existing and that is very important for us if we want to deal with prevention if we want to also to make sure that stigma and discrimination could be greece and community level that's very important and they are becoming more and more an opportunity also ok. as far as i know today statistics say that that most are the cases are going faction of the known cases of h r inversion are through through injection needles and not through and not through other ways like for example sex yes is sexually transmitted and aids still a significant number and not really. yes so you have what you want you have the
12:47 am
militant epidemic you don't have one beginning in africa it will be sexually transmitted but in this age or. even do we made a huge progress during the last five years we have been able to increase the number of people on treatment we have been able to prevent the name of them over to not give the babies we need to but we still have a major problem in eastern europe ensample asia because look exactly what you said fifty seven percent of the new unfixed on or. buckling in nonsupport water injecting drugs and ls we have a strategy to deal with that one will not be able to stop it really can you give us a figure you said you mentioned that if we want to prevent a child born with aids only cost one hundred dollars yes and we give it to
12:48 am
knowledge she today announced it but still can you give us the number of people that do not have equal access to that because of money because of absence of a doctor awareness and so forth four hundred thousand babies are born every year so these people goes on. or not these are deprived. and we can we can is not we are not talking about billions of dollars to stop that and we can have to seeing a new generation born with it even people are talking the waiting till we will have an adequately adequate drug that will help fight aids are the first of all are the drugs that are already on the market i'm becoming more effective. if we haven't the three for a generation of drugs and most of the. women today are on the first lane through our major challenge is how to make them moving from first lanes to suborn lane but
12:49 am
the drugs are affecting affecting what we are by the fact that that name is six for some of those people are still on the first plane and for us alone treatment will produce so on the long run resistance and side effects and need to move and so on which is too costly and we need in that case to produce drugs which can be made available. not at all costing the society there just in case you have a crystal ball so. bring your office of the u.n. when will we have an effective vaccine against the charity did you have any idea do intervene and i think. here's a decade there were no locates ticking and i don't believe the wheel of a vaccine or your use of thirty difficult is a very complex because the first four look really more investment on our backs in.
12:50 am
that's a very important and certainly it is a little virus and is not sort easy to have every box in which we have it if it casey the vaccine we have today is of a vaccine which if it sees it around thirty three percent so it will take some time to be able to really revive vegas isn't is a virus which is changing it's a mutating eating years litigating saw is a complex to have a vaccine but people are working on it in one of your recent interviews you said i quote we are moving from a period of opportunity to an era of scarcity that's characterized by many crisis particularly the global financial crisis as quote the financial crisis point of view it reduce the scale our view of relations and project i think we're
12:51 am
told in belt of world it is a particularly big government world are facing a major financial crisis but what we are looking for is a adjustment with a human face it we are being already putting seven million people on treatment we cannot tell them that they are. having access to their equipment and day we have named million people waiting for men what can we tell them so what we are trying to do is talk secondly bring in you did beat their own share of responsibility looking on all saw the possibility to what lays and warm. from domestic but also i believe personally and i quote for about one when i was in vienna and four it takes a shunt or a financial transaction because i personally feel that it is the opportunity to harbor in long term resources which can help to finance
12:52 am
a development i don't believe of classic. up rush we were having and you know we'll continue to produce the same result they knew before and during these high level commission only chivied prevention promises nothing worse than a quote prevention revolution which will bring the hiv epidemic to a halt this is the moto of the cherry prevention committee how soon is this revolution expected and what are the reasons i want to miss the optimism or is that this on what we are seeing today like i was saying young people are a leading of a prevention research breakthrough we are seeing or saw on the science first we harbor for the first time in microbicides which has been founded by your initial shelves in the south africa which are been able to do was lead that is use a systematically we can reduce infection by fifty six percent in most women that is
12:53 am
the first time we have a tool the women can use themselves but also consider. fifty six percent reduction in men we have also today in new woman tom which are being created because of we know that the ninety six of our addiction is possible if we put people on treatment currently so if you combine all of that we can harbor a major impact on a new infection wasn't. doing the work most of the time most of the the effort. of yours is it spending really a reason really. this is very good question i think on my my work is to produce a strategic information to advocate and to mobilize the resources of fora raising and fonda thought of people who are in need because you know it is about peace.
12:54 am
partly. it is a social issues and political decision and you know when you pocket world aids you need to think about social justice and the distribution of opportunity any place where you will see people being marginalized people are being a discriminate you will see it growing and our job is to mix or we can really help out because people who are access to minimum or services when mobilizing the resources we're sharing strategic information you have mentioned. in africa because for the new the situation isn't very. actually it is alarming in eastern european countries in asia what's the reason is it a result of failing state policies in these you know is a combination of factors for example i was just saying that are in vis
12:55 am
a region particularly we are seeing a growing epidemic because of the people who were injected the drugs because government and the natural flu increases are after the g eight incentives lord to increase budget allocation put more people on treatment and reduce of the transmission from whatever but. still of the f.x. on are growing very quickly is the fastest and fiction we have today and what because people like most of the people are like a drug user and people were in the prison on not having access to services and we need to really deal with these initial you're a your opinion have done i know the russians have been discussing it for a long time some people say russia should legalize methadone as a drug replacement for people who injure drugs well what do you think about this
12:56 am
controversial issue you know i know you're in a rush. the discussion is going on much of a science is very clear the evidence is there about the most of the countries where it begins but i can talk about china indonesia malaysia and vietnam after experimenting the punishment and move out of that today we are one of the biggest i'm a reduction program in asia in china because they realize that by creating space for our system. making sure that the army would have some program could be put in place to teach until the peak would be made available first then we harbor people coming and people over adoption by jamie thank you thank you very much for she really out of time so just to just to remind her very much my guest today was a civic executive director of public safety and you and pound said egypt and that's
