welcome to everyone. special. friend. troubles here for the burial. we same say only time that we may chop. community isn't a funeral. it just happens all the time and we always. we must stop meeting like this most. of them. take the position you were raised. repeat after me i swear by almighty god i swear by almighty god the evidence i should give that there were times i should give the

faith the truth shall be the truth a whole tree the whole truth and nothing nothing but the truth the state richard and john were. the 1st to write. i was diagnosed very light at the age of 3 years old spent a lot of time in hospital the doctors didn't know what was wrong with my neck. i was getting swellings and bruises all over my body. richard has a form of hemophilia a rare and severe inherited disorder that impairs the blood's ability to claw the slightest injury agrees an internal bleed or even just a bruise could cause irreparable damage from years around very engine ricker is easy for me with. my arms.

factor. a treatment. with either. or even both. richard was a month and he had to undergo a series of treatments. are very cross. side effects mood swings and sweating in. part. to take. drugs. in the 1970 s. a new drug called factor 8 was released to using human blood it promised a much easier life for him affiliates they no longer needed to go to hospital and

could self administered the treatment by injection at any time or convenient. but it had one fatal flaw or about which patients knew nothing until too late. one of your treatment might contain the donation of 405-0000 people. a lot of products in the u.k. came from america and one of the things we now know is that the people giving those . people who maybe were in prison. and they encouraged to give that. to provide that. this is a result that you were 8. years and you were. not were you told that you were being.

the drugs don't move and the brutes and ankle supports have saved me a few times because sometimes you walk and you roll your own call and if i didn't have these on i would have very bad bleed through one girl's. like other human fairly x. martin has problems with joints mainly his knees and elbows caused by internal bleeding. and was diagnosed within a full year about the age of 6 months old. growing goal with him earlier back then for a parent it was a nightmare children there always were in falling over buying in themselves and i

would have all kinds of internal bleeds and damage to my joints. martin was under constant medical care 1st at birmingham children's hospital and of your age of 17 he was sent to an adult facility. i remember being in the white american and my name is called out now the doctor doesn't even introduce himself his 1st words were hello us we are a child people i didn't understand the significance of what he was saying because i was a healthy teenager a my words to him were all well that's a lot. even goes on to say that your life for the next 2 years and then i said what do you mean by that. and he goes you got 2 years to live. that's when it hit me. so we rode back to birmingham and got a letter that says on it that i was tested in 1900. without my

knowledge i was found to be positive but it also says that i found an old sample of my blood from mountain and storage and i was positive then. but i could have been working on why i could have been sleeping with somebody and it would have more to for me if i have infected a girl what gives them doctors the wrong to play god but that i'm risk all the peoples laws why didn't they tell me. in 1981 i knew had previously unheard of disease was discovered in the united states acquired immune deficiency syndrome aids. in january 982 with the 1st hemophiliac contracted aids in the us 9 more cases have been recorded by the end of the year 8 of which were terminal. despite this great

britain continue to import american factories. are you proud of your all the new jump. up and lots of you call him a for. ever jerry jerry j.j. sure. my dad lived with hemophilia. really did all one thing aim affiliates again his way the time it was kind of an odd thing the song people. say he was there warnings in the air carpenter using. saws and swinging. wood around the shop things . you know that sick let me go i was. crazy for. a merry thankfully it's all those videos because

it's the evidence by memory it doesn't have. it's it was a father to me and he raised me and was doing everything a father should. say there i was. in towards the late seventy's he began to use facts a concentrates because that was for the doctors on him and everyone i'll see use. may 1983 so the 1st reported earnings of the british hemophiliac contracting the disease. tickles appeared in the press claiming that factor 8 was a safe. in november of 84 he raised concerns about the products with his stopped and they told him this is just sensationalism it's fine you know don't worry they convinced him to carry on using facts concentrate and then it was only shortly

after that the his 1st choice v. tests came back as positive. things just very difficult for a strain on the relationship with my mom you know they'd only got married and nothing their life went from being one of planning for the future to planning for the end. to see new statements about one of the worst things being the feeling of sticking that. with relation to. in the early days christian people don't get i see where you were a lower. level when we found out that he was positive felt such fear never felt little it's not the fear of what he might suffer it's it's social it's everything it's children it's housing it's your career is

everything is gone it was something to be ashamed of even though we did nothing wrong he did nothing wrong i bring a prominent locally and then one night i walked into a pole to play mama and the landlord just pointed out mate and said you get out the pool tame i've been playing with but i also don't they're not one of them taught to be for me i'll help sick. and i thought dead. this was a classic case of. infomed it. doesn't take away the fact that it made me feel a lot rubbish. my dad

lost his job among got sidetracked her job they received hate mail phone calls making fun of. the stigma is incredible it's this whole thing though if you had a 0 you were gay or you druggies are all some kind of what they sold to be and desirable. by 9190 nights a he'd become verio. he had progressed to a it's only opportunistic infections using off way slowly going through a horrible death. and. by the end of my 3. news news that.

jason evans founded the independent campaign group factor 8 its members of the immediate relatives of him affiliates who died because of contaminated blood products his organization provides them with legal help. i really only had one goal when i got involved in campaigning on this subject i wanted it on the official record that what happened could and should have been avoided i think after that point maybe there's room for that as support for people counseling and compensation and all these other things but i think from apes. so there once it's on the record that there is liability and that i'll be satisfied. if. anyone else seems wrong why don't we all just don't call. me.

yet to shape out just days after. and in detroit because the trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. we can see richard's perhaps most clearly documented date stamped 10th of september 1976 so very soon after you would have been still saying it should go with him and we can see the words have like to scream it sticks with the existence of a risk of habits like to something you or your parents were aware of. the show. we have cash cow and that is dari alfonzo mongery has died.

he's died in. a haze died on rocks one of the page turners generation paid change dard or. at 11 years of age richard went to college a special boarding school for children with disabilities. there's an n.h.s. health center on the campus students could receive the medical care they needed and attend classes all in the same place. it's also the signs of the greatest concentration of contaminated blood cases that the u.k. has ever seen. what it. is that you receive significant quantities of fatty rates on a prophylactic base. they were crazy about. aren't 2 real target joints and that was my left mate neither of our rights. or our current system why they would give me consecutive doses day after day.

great britain will be self-sufficient in blood products and will guarantee their purity. it was the government's promise in the 1970s. when she came in that pledge in that aim went away and they found a way around the. importing this particular product. all these issues were very often at meetings of 1015 people but they were all held in secret no one was allowed to publish the minutes of the meeting. the main beneficiaries of that secrecy were pharmaceutical companies. these companies had a huge financial motivation to sow these problems today. the fact concentrate market is a 1000000000 dollar industry in order for the need to say our product is safe for the next companies they needed

a trial date that showed we've used this product and it's not infectious and in this country at least the dot is. often as consultants to the pharmaceutical home as there are numerous documents showing that doctors in oxford doctors in cardiff work keen to test facts or a concentrates infectivity on their patients to all hemophilia sense directors. initial production batches may have been tested for infectivity by injecting them into chimpanzees it is unlikely that the manufacturers will be able to guarantee this form of quality control for all future batches it is therefore very important to find out why studies in human beings to what extent the infectivity of the various concentrates has been reduced. the reason they used humans instead of chimpanzees was one because chimpanzees were expensive and essentially patients

were free when they don't know that experiment we tried to speak to the pharmaceutical companies that produced factory took the time over the last 50 years they have changed names and ownership several times and none wanted to talk about the contaminated blood issue now. what we know now is that the trolls are also conducting tests regularly and keeping records of liver function tests which made you think ok so what are they actually looking for figuring in a safe product to be one to monitoring how you live. or if you trace there was are you c.t. for kanwar with looking at these things. out of the 8. 9 hemophiliacs who went to train those college 72 died.

and people still dying. from liver related problems rushed to have a charge say. i actually feel guilty i'm still here i asked myself the question why am i still alive when you know 70 percent of him feel that boy use. college. i've had and i don't care and i'm always question yourself why me i why my son i live by being allowed to live when so many have and. the official claim was that the new medicines were safe the most emphatic statement to that effect was from kenneth clark health secretary under margaret thatcher's government. i think someone that really has a lot to answer for as

a minister is. the well known kenneth clarke actually stood up for an argument and said there is no conclusive proof. is transmitted through blood products he really needs to answer for. type of misinformation and this was the reply we received from kenneth clocks office krista clark has chosen to decline through what's been and from the u.k. department of health and the infected blood inquiry is a cabinet of its leader and therefore they will be the ones best placed to answer your questions beyond that initial acknowledgement the cabinet office has not responded to our request. and all we could find on the official u.k. national health service website was a report mentioning that victims are entitled to apply for compensation. at 2019 and for the 1st time the u.k. government agreed to hear what the victims had to say

a public inquiry was opened in london and jason evans group factory is taking part in it is finally happening it's been. a long road and this is a this train journey is one that i say here countless times over the last 34 years . even before jason was born his father was aware of the deadly disease. in spite of the risk of passing on the contamination his baby was born. after i think about how would i have dealt with what my dad went. next year i'll be the same age my dad was when he died. i think about if i was to die i didn't a share that age that would have been really a very short life. that weighs heavily on my mind.

oh in 1903 tina and. yes. it. from the accident shall we say. the wife knew pretty soon after and she went to see her doctor. we were advised really in no uncertain terms not care to note that. it was all in those few months so mixed together and at the time we were still reeling from the shock and the implications of dealing with the times now sister i could have been positive in which case what we you know. being approached child at that time to be in office if you'd come into the world we didn't know how long we have all the child could have been positive as well this me in which case was it morally right

to give birth to a child that i be you know suffered terribly i couldn't walk away from a man who i spose to love. just when he needed me most and once we found out that i was ok. afterwards. he. realized that if i was going to be a mother it wouldn't be with richard and i just say with richard he said you're a perfect stream really loving and supportive wife yes she's a ship in general. as it. assists a great sadness to you base this being that you have to have children. a problem if there. really.

anything you would. have to say at the time it seemed easy i didn't feel as if we had any choice. in the lazy a thing. but hey. martin bed was also thinking of starting a family his girlfriend was a nurse at the hospital where he received his treatment. i've got the dial m. earth hemophilia os and not all of the don lemon or of a child of a not just infecting her but possibly possibly on to children as well so took the decision after about a year to split tilt so that i would feel

a she could go off and have a family of our on and thankfully she did and we're still friends on facebook so you know she seems happy which is good. missionary very apt rebate and not such a. very loyal dogs rottweilers a. very protective as wild. animals. one of the greatest comfort she can ever offer. because she can have the lousiest day in the world when you walk in that house and the dog's place to see your. dogs know when you're in i know when you're in trouble and. it's soothing.

the. 2 attempts were made over 40 years to investigate the causes of this medical disaster in the u.k. but so far no one has been held accountable. the current inquiry is goal is to gather evidence the final decision about how to proceed after that will wrist with the government. i have no doubt that what happened was criminal i think the real question is to walk degree was a criminal i mean nothing a bad minimum we're talking about some form of criminal negligence and perhaps corporate manslaughter. perhaps. and i think the inquiry can help direct in some way where where those lines made. their criminal prosecutions have been brought in other countries and they have been successful particularly in france whether they

will be brought in this country i suspect not the reason they won't bring them though the crown prosecution service won't be directed to bring those prosecutions it's because it's widely accepted that they would be successful and the only way they can a boyd a successful prosecution is to avoid bringing it up. the public inquiry is expected to continue for at least 2 to 3 years too late for the victims who have already died and to long for those still fighting for their lives every doing morning. first witnesses. it was so frightening. i was told about a year to live it was a hard time it's so frightfully experience it wasn't any life. really try for exams any more because you will be dead in a few years so we will actually. i don't feel calmer it.

came out we'll switch to a knee. tone swamps it down the house hard enough is no way should have to do that we just wanted to be with them. and i believe now is the time to do is to say. we are spoilers recognition of. a meaningful recompense for the large group who are stored from those.

to get the valuation you get it by. stock price times current the number of shares outstanding and if you have knowledge on how to buy back their own stock and pump up those stock prices and executive stock options then you have a higher market cap but you actually didn't create anything for the economy you didn't engage in any capital expense expenditures a cap ex to expand your company in any way then what'll happen is will happen to i.b.m. you know they want to the whole stock buyback routine then eventually it played out in the companies

a shambles or general electric general electric is almost absolutely out of business by trying to push i mean listen instead of products.

russia says germany is stalling the probe into the alleged poisoning of election avali by holding back crucial data moscow's envoy to the global chemical weapons that watchdog. group deliberately delaying the process did the completion of the preliminary inquiry in russia that was held in order to ascertain whether there is an offense or not. french mayors have voiced their anger over the government's tough new coronavirus restrictions saying that they were never consulted. and the pentagon is accused of spending up to a $1000000000.00 of coronavirus funds on military gear. that is it for me but don't worry my colleague carol lin takes you through the latest stories next hour stay with us now though for the kaiser report.
