a quick refresher if you've been avoiding the news because you just can't take the b. word anymore for another 1010 and to resume a who's carney getting away from it all hiking in the swiss alps spent 3 years trying to deliver correct said after the referendum something we are definitely clear on bricks it means bricks it bricks it needs frex it wrecks it means bricks it and where you're going to make a success of it but parliament had other ideas patchy shouting had out even might have heard a key point had to reach for how water then she found that brussels wasn't very happy about how to bit the old blighty and wouldn't budge on key points like the i . stop to maintain a seamless border on the emerald isle they managed to thrash out a deal to you and me tried 3 times to push it through parliament no luck so she shut a tear and left i do so with no ill will but with enormous and enduring

gratitude to have had the opportunity to serve the country i love. and to boris johnson. and leave can't think it had johnson promised to take the u.k. out of the european union by how do we do you own no deal and that's really all people riled so where are we now well just 2 months from b. day and with parliament due to be suspended before it's even got going and only have to meet to try to block a no deal bracks said everyone's crying foul saying it's a constitutional crisis others though have just had enough he's gone on for so long now we just need to get on with it because it's just causing more trouble whole process is discussed in. parliament has been bypassed and. not democratic it's a catastrophe so anybody who tried to bring it in would be. a what the people voted
3:12 pm
for i think it's a constitutional outrage he wants to think you know winston churchill said you know it's self-important to blame any problems on others and he will be patted on the back for delivering bricks were no lection that's what he sees over and boris johnson should do everything he can. to get back if you can't get it through he's out although where is cynics point out that what's really on democratic ah m.p.'s in westminster spending 3 years and piles of taxpayers' money by dithering over delaying breck said ok perhaps it was a little rogue to disrupt the queen's summer holiday in scotland and maybe suspending parliament was quite drastic for. it's supposed to be a parliamentary democracy that's apparently taking back control but then this is boris johnson who's never been one for a convention and it has been 3 years already just about every hour for new explored

advocacy organizations which served as front groups in the screen sorts of e-mail correspondence published in a multi district opioid lawsuit have led to accusations that joint corporation caused america's biggest drug epidemic we reached out to purdue pharma for comment and we weigh the response of the less the company admits people affected should seek help as soon as possible. wild bird you farmer is prepared to defend itself vigorously in the obviously it's a geisha in the company has made clear that it sees little good coming from years to waste food to geisha in appeals to people and communities affected by the opiate crisis need help now in the late 1990 s. prescriptions for painkillers were made readily available as pharmaceutical companies assured doctors their patients would not become addicts but it quickly became clear many people were becoming dependent with deaths from opioid overdoses reaching a record high of 42000 in the year 26 thing. and the following year the government
3:19 pm
declared a public health emergency currently an estimated 130 americans die every day as a result of opioid medicine abuse the health crisis is also placing a huge strain on the u.s. economy and reportedly encouraging higher rates of heroin use addiction specialist and then kit told us both the pharmaceutical industry and doctors have failed in their duties to customers and patients. well doctors certainly bear some responsibility for the opiate epidemic but i think to really understand how this happened in the united states it's necessary to realize that a whole generation of physicians was educated to believe that opioids are not addictive as long as you're giving them to a patient in pain and this was a message that was eagerly adopted by produced by johnson and johnson by chance and by t.v. or by many other opioid manufacturers why because it helped their bottom line to sell more opioids so certainly doctors have to be reeducated as they are now they

have to withhold opioids they have to stop prescribing opioids for ankle sprains for chronic pain conditions we would not want the pendulum to swing in the opposite direction and for people who really need opioids not to be able to get them so finding some kind of middle ground is going to be essential. commemorations some of the 80000 of us are of the start of world war 2 began this week in slovenia an eternal flame was lit is a memorial built in honor of soviet and slovenian soldiers the thoughts used was poured all the way from russia was itself live from the eternal flame of the tomb of the unknown soldier next to the crown that presented from the russian embassy as well as russian and slovenia veterans were among those attending the ceremony is a reminder of slovenia's plight under nazi occupation.
