lol. we'll . let. that report. ok. ok. ok ok. the former top. four

thank you for far thank you oh all right thank you oh all right thank you oh all right thank you oh all right thank you.

it. led.

mr nor lives with his wife and child in a five metre squared room in one of the most populated and poor neighborhoods in mumbai home to twenty million people and india's commercial and industrial. sixteen years ago he moved here from the countryside seeking a better life. mr noor had the misfortune of facing two serious illnesses of the same time diabetes and leukemia. i have diabetes which used to constantly increase my doctor was worried and gave me injections but told me to do the c.b.c. examination which i did and learned that i have cancer.

i fear for my family if i die i am the only one that works that is what worries me most everything else is in god's hands. he was diagnosed in two thousand and ten since then mr noor follows a specific treatment of vital importance to his survival. every day at noon he has to take a four hundred milligram pill which ensures a better quality of life for him. with this medicine i feel good. for my body ached and when i got up i got dizzy. and now i feel good when i used to walk i got short of breath now i don't have that problem. the drug to which mr neuros has improving health goes under the generic name.

it is a copy of glivec originally introduced in the treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia which greatly increased a patient's life expectancy. is a breakthrough medicine for treatment of. chronic myeloid leukemia. just. as a magic bullet because it has changed. maybe for the future. on this. more than ten

years. the life of thousands of cancer patients around the world contains a substance called. in order to develop the substance decades of research and public institutions when needed. the researchers discovered a common element in all patients namely a shift in the genetic material of their d.n.a. . two different genes from two different chromosomes were coalescing by mistake. producing an enzyme that causes an uncontrollable increase in white blood cell count up to twenty five times higher than normal. because the researchers invented a weapon. they created. which aims directly at the targets and inhibits the

action. that he used. but you had a drug that actually. causing problems so they decided it was basically done by public money the problem really was taking the drug from. the market and that's what. i imagine it is the life saving substance for patients with my lord leukemia that is contained in quebec the drug tests. the exact same active substance can also be found in its copies in generic drugs

like the not which is produced by moscow one of india's the largest pharmaceutical companies. product is equal in people want to. go through a system of trial and regulatory scrutiny which i luvs us to get periods and this product so indistinguishable and they're the same and the patient who takes our product who takes know what this product we had at the same time we could benefit. both the original and the copy of the drug are equally effective. but they are also divided by a great difference that price believe a product is sold in india but a hundred twenty thousand rupees which is about two thousand four hundred dollars

per month typically and in ninja school. we have a retail price of two hundred dollars but would discount we give it to patient on hundred fifty dollars two hundred sixty. the great price difference between the two drugs is a matter of life and death for india's poor since about thirty percent of the population lives below the poverty line surviving on less than two dollars a day. i work in a shop where i polish gold. my wife works at home

sewing clothes in earning one thousand to two thousand rupees per month my wage was raised reaching now six thousand rupees about one hundred ten dollars a month i got a raise because i am ill and so we try to manage. with this family income barely reaching one hundred fifty dollars mr noor is unable to buy even the cop even for two hundred dollars. glivec itself costs two thousand four hundred dollars. i gathered money i also had something and sold my jewelry and my daughter. as well. and i gathered five thousand troops from the money for the greengrocer. twenty rupees he gives me for food i don't eat and keep them as well.

i can't do anything i'll leave it in god's hands whatever god wants i can't do anything. if the generic been up did not exist mr minus would not have survived. he sells incense sticks for the temples and his wife packs jewelry. the family income does not exceed seven thousand rupees or about one hundred forty dollars a month. if they had to buy the original glivec it would cost them one of the house their annual salary. to get one hundred twenty five thousand rupees is a huge amount of look in the end like me there are many who can't pay it can't buy it i believe that the drugs that do good should not stop being made.

if you leave the. economic up and downs in the finite months they belong to the deal sang i and the rest of the life doing the case you will be everything we own all the. comrades soldiers you're in the military now no more joking any more. never been some time in my life. every day we're being pushed to an obsolete limits. do you

think it's going to be easy to fire. but everyone's desperate. for suspects to protect our interests. me i don't know if i'm going to make it to the end look you still filming some i'm just a book on the left i don't know what to do. but. we're going to go digital the price is the only industry specifically mentioned in the constitution and. that's because a free and open process is critical to our democracy allmers. in fact the single biggest threat facing our nation today is the corporate takeover of our government and out across several we've been hydrogen lying handful of transnational corporations that will profit by destroying what our founding fathers once told us about my job market and on this show we reveal the big picture of

what's actually going on in the world. we go beyond identifying the problem try rational debate and real discussion critical issues facing the camera ready to join the movement. when a state grants a patient or gives a paid and certificate to a company for its product it guarantees the company's monopoly for certain period of time which is usually twenty years. in this way it is believed that the

company gets compensated for the innovation that contributed. however the indian state has not granted the pain for glivec allowing the distribution of exact copies on the market. for that reason in two thousand and six to suit the indian state launching a landmark legal battle. this battle was so important that it could affect the access to affordable lifesaving drugs for billions of poor people worldwide. living of course. forty countries.

in. india patent was applied for but was rejected and the waters of course wanted to see how innovation be valued in india so we are fighting the battle to get a patent in india to be more like opening the doors the form of the fort which india has but before which we have the door to door to be open for all these corporates to go ahead and exploit on the same lines other drugs before the seams the other companies will go ahead and say ok if they were being granted on the scene grounds we should also be granted. claims that it started this great legal battle just so that it's paid and gets recognition and the circulation of generics will not be at risk in the future there's no question that

if has drawn to a patent be a big barrier against all kinds of general products i don't see the logic of it at all and in fact you should ask the people who are telling you to explain that logic to you basically go to court and block the number of genetic companies on a number of different don't know why this is made that this has nothing to do with monopoly or the pricing going skyrocket if it is not the case the way fine the case if that is not the case then go back to your office and start working for the benefit of the society why you did based on your time in the courts i. owe it to you. because it is hiv positive and a member of an activist group that fights for access to cheap medicines. he remembers the time before generics entered the antiretroviral drugs markets when

aids treatment cost almost ten thousand dollars a month. now it costs less than two hundred fifty dollars even that it to forty dollars per month to put company which is giving it it's making profit although it is not giving it for free. it's not giving it to us also it is making a profit out of it and good enough profit. to its employees for them it's very easy to see that the drugs are not available but for us if if you don't pick one drug no a favorite of ours but it is it starts to replicate so for me it's a matter of life and.

self-sufficiency was central to the political philosophy of independent india's patriarch mahatma gandhi who believed of his country did not need western technology in order to be independent on clothes food or medicines. the government's policy dating back. was that india should be self-sufficient in the production of food and medicine. and not only did he have no patent system he had a patent system that. medicine. this philosophy was ingrained in india's legal framework on peyton's which resulted in the highly important one thousand nine hundred seventy act for peyton's.

thang. introduction of the nine hundred seventy but it was only the. applications which would. not. lead a simple yes or no and begin to has been did it paul says. if making it but it. didn't mention is lying in the bull's eye it's. the bulls. not the burden. this policy provided the opportunity for great local generics industry to be developed in order to cater for the great need of the local population which totals almost one point two billion people. i think you may need it i think we thought. the benefit of having back and you know. the cost of

medicine to the point of death so basically what india said was that because companies like g.s.t. pfizer and apple to a pricing that drugs too high in the air in the sixty's in new chemists needed to be needed to set up facilities where we could make the drugs ourselves and these are public sector facilities the government and they basically sort of not sure an industry into making the drugs that they needed for themselves but of course the moment the industry started to grow other developing countries and you've been agencies animal sex talk to access to the drugs from the very same source so it benefited of course you know for example in gas malaria. program but it also benefited patients outside of india. as a result india became the greatest global power in the production of generic drugs

and at the same time protected the population and financial interests. and india is the perfect. two of the worth of medicines today medicines and you see in today's prices made in india is sold in the u.s. sold in utah up the soil enough tickets sold in south america and generics probably make up sixty seventy percent no longer look to make up seventy percent of the volume of medicine so there's no fear of what you might call the quality of the medicine i think the concern is about they they didn't aches from the fact that because of the lower pulse some people suspect the lower standards were no examples of drugs from because the names. of drugs i think have to be to cold because we found that there were some problems with quality some boxes that were not. good and so on so if you have a system in place and if you have to re mechanism that guarantees that your drugs

of good quality then they're more to cure the actual active ingredient that the drug has doesn't really come with the pot and when you swallow your appeal you don't swallow also. the trade names like nobody's or i don't like that recall many files that he just sort of this particular chemical molecule that will help your body to fight infection or out of a disease it read regulatory authority over any of these bigger countries they come to the factory before the three of them licenses example enough actually we had the u.s. if to get. approval we have german a pool we have a pool from greece to be sent to go to do so because we're selling a product movies we have people from australia so that it is a system where all regulatory authorities don't take chances they all come and make sure the proposition because there's in place when lead then the ilo.

thank.

outside of mumbai's counts are hospitals the patients relatives come for months on end. i have been here for three months. but my son has cancer here on the side. he had surgery we're staying here. but there was a lump in my chest. i went to get tested and they told me it was cancer and let me go. inside. what should i do all the money i have saved was spent on the trip to come here it is gone. but what will i do know. that where will i

go where will i stay. mr kumar is a professor of oncology and works for one of the country's largest counter hospitals . india to be have almost one million new cases. which of which anything printed by what we call the pieces of the close to ten million. only a small percentage who can get the money to mr need it that and the government sponsored government and they can get the investment. so. with the same quality can simulate a few p.c. or. even less a place and i think it becomes a bit of a usual thing for the system.

after decades of prosecuting a proxy war against iran can watch them change its behavior many in washington have dismissed obama's all branch out of hand many in iran are just as mistrustful is this quest for peace a fool's errand to. react to situations i have read the reports. put the no i'll leave that to the state department to comment on your latter point to. secure a car is on the job here. no more weasel. what they need a direct question are you prepared for a change when you punch be ready for a. critical speech. down to to freedom.

well. science technology innovation all the least and melons from around russia we dumped a few jerks covered. real damage and complexity of this oil spill was not something you can grasp just by looking at dirty birds we have between four to five million people in this directly affected area of the coast and it's pretty clear why it's not being reported because b.p. can't afford to have a reported all along the gulf coast are clean they are safe and they're open for business if b.p. is the single largest oil contributor to the pentagon the us war machine is heavily reliant upon b.p. and their oil this is a huge step backwards for democracy it's

a step forward for oligarchy carex it is toxic is a look a lot like spraying in vietnam it was it was not a picture that either the government or b.p. really wanted to have out there i don't want dispersants to be the agent on. this. over. did you know the price is the only industry specifically mentioned in the constitution and. that's because a free and open process is critical to our democracy correct al gore's. role. in fact the single biggest threat facing our nation today is the corporate takeover of our government and across several we've been a hydrogen lying handful of transnational corporations that will profit by destroying what our founding fathers once told just my job market and on this show

we reveal the big picture of what's actually going on in the world we go beyond identifying the problem trucks rational debate and a real discussion critical issues facing or not define them for the ready to join the movement then walk a little bit of. drama has the chance to be ignored to. stories other is refused to notice. the faces change the world writes never. the old picture of today's you know i've gone to and from around the globe. look to. the.

welcome to over russia the olympic flame arrived in moscow as the first torch bearers begin in the marathon four month relay through russia before it launches of the sochi two thousand and fourteen winter games. celebrations for the fortieth anniversary of egypt's last war with israel turn violent in cairo where fierce clashes between opponents and supporters of mohamed morsi was ousted regime might leave scores killed and wounded. a u.s. operation in libya seems a top terror leader seized in a separate raid in somalia proves unsuccessful with special forces unable to capture a wanted al shabab notes into peter. and at least a dozen children are killed in a suicide attack in iraq.
