and mistreatment of mr no volley in that penal colony but not as journalists but as members of a russian human rights watchdog alike saying the volley compared that prison to a concentration camp but the crew was shown something that you'd expect to find it a normal prison including a library a proper medical unit plenty of visiting rooms and also leisure facilities bloodstream of the list but this is the love of society which the kurds and the world doesn't make anything changed in business with them to sleep through this movement to me she says is that we have which is why you want to know what is this going to go on and pushes them and it doesn't suit him based. on national pride that. will keep you right up to date on alexei no volleys health condition the international reaction to it and also what happens to the journalists that have been detained. his documentary channel explores america's battle against the crisis

that sees $170.00 people dying every day according bright will be within often hour to get up to speed on leaving headlines join us again but. what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confront a shouldn't let it be an arms race based on a sense very dramatic developments only really i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk. and in the 1996 something happened different a company called produce pharmaceutical. with

a drug called oxycontin and they started a mere and falsely promoted that opioids were rarely addict maybe only one percent of the could you get addicted to no. that was not true. and it is not true and never was true that was a false statement and the other companies jumped on the bandwagon of making money and the false lies spread and the false marketing spread that they are guilty of was about these tricks they caused this. i believe with every fiber of my be. back in 1906 the 1st promotional campaign for it was broadcasted we found it. we doctors were wrong in thinking that opioids can't be used long term they can be

and they should be we used to think they'd stop working all the patients would become addicts or they'd be sent to. these 6 cases show how wrong those fears were . in this little film the public was assured with certification the content would show no risk of addiction despite its high concentration in opium to make it believable a real doctor and real patients with this. feeling that this treatment usually reserved for patients in the terminal phase of cancer can be used without any danger for common pain. they are going to enjoy every day you know you can really enjoy must say i have been on this new pain medication i have not missed one day of work and this medication does not turn you into a zombie it is turned me into an active person again. whereas addiction is the

1st known risk of an opioid the figures shown by pretty farmer a purely and simply a reliable some patients may be afraid of taking opioids because they're perceived as too strong or addictive. but that is far from actual fact less than one percent of patients taking opioids actually become addicted. since 1988 doctors supervise their patients developing addiction yet in this internal memo the laboratory keeps on encouraging us representatives to sell the cost that miracle pill using bonuses premiums and all sorts of gadgets in only 5 years oxycontin went from 600000 prescriptions a year to more than 6000000. nowadays 30 pharma is the 1st company standing it is used in the lawsuit filed by the state of oklahoma in order to prove its responsibility the team relies on doc to kalani. in the 1st

6 years of the release of oxycontin produce sponsored 20000 educational programs across the united states they gave money to the professional societies to advocate for more opioids the organization that regulates hospitals took money from them the organization that regulates doctors in different states took money from them from all of these different directions we were told to prescribe much more the opioid lobby the manufacturers and distributors of opioids spent 880000000 dollars over a 10 year period the walking efforts for more cautious prescribing that they spent 8 times more than the gun lobby in the united states in has spent in trying to block gun regulations. the manufacturers of opiates are spending more money trying

to block regulations on all. the nice prints and is disseminated year after year during that time the epidemic takes root hidden in the shadows for so long the addiction of a 1000000 american citizens suddenly comes to light this days with the most people showing up for treatment saying they're addicted to the pills show up as read. and this is 99. 2001. 2003. 200520072009 what you can see is that in every state in the united states we've seen a very sharp increase in the number of people seeking treatment for addiction to prescription opioids big companies were aware that these pills were dangerous addictive of course and could kill people of course they would yes they were aware

before they put out their drug and when the drug started to get prescribed it was very clear early on there was a public health problem associated with this so there was overwhelming evidence that the products that were making them rich were killing people. back we wanted to find the patients they testified in this that really johnny passed away in 2008 in an accident caused by oxycontin his wife confided he had become addicted to it lauren was addicted for years now she's free if it became addicted and was also found dead of a cardiac arrest 3 patients out of 6 had become addicted as for the doctor who appeared in the film here is his answer.

it's not acceptable to say i don't believe in using strong pain medications for chronic pain we need to stop saying this. stuff. that we follow thank you for the mill we have we love you so much tell chelsea we were over and all my family in jesus christ my prayer. still 66 you hear me chelsea can hear a lot but i just feel like she's here with me every time i come here i just feel her presence you know it makes me shine if i was trouble with this whole it's a daily thing you gotta let it go people say you have to let it go tell us tell us how you do time don't know.

if it happened to one person you know ok it was an accident this is 5. that's right . i mean i don't know what our thinking miles i really don't i would like to now want to rethink your strategy i think that was healthy. chelsea was 21 when she passed away the same age as kyle who still struggling for his life. kyle has begun his 1st days of therapy at the center. and his struggle against the addiction only speech seems to be the hyper serenity. so what i want to do today is incorporate a little bit the stuff that we this morning. every single one of us to quote myself when we come in here all of us have a tendency for this particular thing when pockets. several of the guys that are in here were athletes. they got injured that introduced him to the

opiates and whenever they take the opiates they find out hey not only does this make me physically feel better but emotionally i feel better. so what of opiates. made me feel like a better person. like i'd be in the house all day and then once i got high i could go out and do whatever on a new. everybody else here is still the same thing and you know i can relate to a lot of these people stories and it's just. a lot of a lot of love i don't feel alone anymore so. that's that's going to feel lot better .

on day 15 of his treatment col relapsed. one of the patients who brought in heroin secretly. he couldn't resist. after he plunged back he was sent to this facility. monitored

under high surveillance away from his family and son he's following his treatment to be able to go back to the ranch. here every fall we thank you for this day look we think this were about to receive we think this is just being on a 4 year stretch with it and i just can't seem to stop and. yeah it's highly addictive. why is it so hard to be sober because you have pain i guess is just now i'm so over a half feelings. and. i mean to see how i would just pass out.

2 or. they may be. done. for me went to church this morning you know the. problem. oh ok. well it's almost 12 so i'm going to run by and pick up cash and come out there to you so you can spend some time with him. good luck. to you too and i'll give you a call here after a little bit. ok bye. he stood on better. his relationship with me his relationship with his brother his relationship with the son cows burned every bridge possible. even though he's her best the

most always so i have to be someone else to be there for him and we don't there's times that we don't want to sell we have to set our feelings aside and support him. i think the really the most difficult is far as anger is the stuff is just knowing. all the all these companies know what their drugs are doing and they will say it they they're like oh our jokes are so helpful when the ruling more lies and they're calling. her. my.

i think the only time we've ever thought it. was after my surgery last year. at that time we knew about it was way ahead. we did yeah i assured my mom wouldn't let me take care of and i was so scared that's what they prescribe him he had the same exact stuff that my brother got addicted to oxy r.c. cars. which the street name for that is roxy and they give you the exact same effect as heroin and according to my brother they're even more addicting that one and he had legitimate surgery and i freaked out i was like no you can't take these and here he had just had his appendix taken out he needed the hump and i didn't

want him taking them because i wasn't going to go through this again. just like calls family the whole country is in a state of awareness wanting to change things and contain the epidemic. at the oklahoma university and then seem an aggressive alliance was formed researcher andrew kolob me lawyer reggie with me and dr jason b. then they've all gathered to establish a common fight plan against every single laboratory. case. dr beeman has created the 1st college education program with the country on

pain killers addiction. and also what provide education to all of the prescribers from dentists doctors in bad areas right then and there. we think that there. more to the result you were describing than any of our other initiatives i think the overwhelming response has been that the doctors that are graduating now and going out into practice are not person writing these and we've seen over 20 percent decline in prescriptions in oklahoma over the last 2 years and my medical students will never be involved in this overprescribing behavior and there are definitely some doctors have knowingly contributed to this problem they saw an opportunity to make money and they went for it but that's that's a very small minority boko haram is department of justice is also trying to stop those who are responsible like one of the richest families in the country the one that funds and controls the purse and hire. article i wanted to show you that

appeared for bush about the sackler family and back in 2015 they had 14 bay and one of the richest families in the united states and they've sold more than 35000000000. dollars worth of oxy cotton since it was really just. it was boarded $952.00 by the secular brothers. until then did name was now known to the general public nowadays billionaires and very much appreciated by. made itself known as the patrons of museums such as the movie the guggenheim but without anyone making the connection between their fortune and their company michael barrett intends to make this truth known. do you think they knew what they were doing sure they knew what they were doing. they knew exactly what they were doing they pleaded guilty to crimes for all didn't lead with and. knowingly

crossing the north of the oxycodone that's resulted in the one thing for sure that they were my. i mean billions of dollars and they didn't hear. who destroyed what damage. in 2007 the company pleaded guilty to the federal accusations of misleading marketing and false advertising condemned they paid over $635000000.00 in penalties and continue to sell. the sack clothes would never have been able to market this product without authorization. the f.d.a. has to control and regulate every single drug put on the market it authorized the use of oxycontin as a painkiller without a problem. some of the same f.d.a. officials involved in regulating the drug would wind up leaving

f.d.a. and taking higher paying jobs for pharma and other drug companies we call that the revolving door i think they should have figured out earlier than what was going on and to this day some of these same f.d.a. officials are still at the f.d.a. and rather than saying we made a horrible mistake we have to change our policies they haven't changed their policies they keep approving more opioids. it's a big day for oklahoma the attorney general's teams are facing the lawyers of the 4 companies being sued a judge has to rule whether there's enough evidence to go to trial. approved pharmaceutical after johnson and johnson we sued the ones that we. did business and call street market and you know my goal is to have the truth come

out i really hope this case goes to trial it's an enormous. and they're going to fight for the is what they've been in. to try to show that they didn't cause us there probably go. to blame this on doctors and they're probably going to blame it on people like myself who got sick. we've probably got at least $20.00 for being on it what they have been a insta spend on the fancy billions to spend on lawyers and they have no limit on what they'll spin in these cases and they ship broader day out here from the east coast and they try other lie as much as they can. it takes years of investigation and hearings for the course of history to change but the time to reckoning is common for the 1st time full laboratories will be judged as being responsible for the crisis. one day i think they would like us to stop.

and go away but we're not we can't wait it's trial may of 2019 we're going to tee up for trial and we're looking forward to it we believe in our case i believe in our case with every fiber of my being that look forward to trying this case if i were the 1st case in the nation set for trial and we've been getting calls from others. we will set the precedent if i will might some history on that matter. i hope it's a good history. the lawyers of the 4 laboratories duchesse despite our repeated demands for now none of them has accepted to meet with us. they were smiling how does that make you feel maybe you can come back from that jury verdict that didn't say how much or. that's a better answer to that and i'm going to. face them out of.

that on everybody's will. and that was. all. i don't know if spent. since you were mobbed boyish. are scared of getting hooked on drugs 6. that's my biggest worry are occurring that are often just ask god. it's been 3 months since col reintegrated the ranch told his dad he is coming to an end he now has to leave find a new routine where paying calloused don't exist. now that i'm sober and or feel a lot better more confident. like my body doesn't hurt. healthy.

after he left the ranch moved in with his mother for a while. he's now found a job and rents a flat where he can accommodate his son every day is a struggle. this is the final battle the one that gets to decide the fate of dr nichols her lawyer asked for just muscle of counts. the state of oklahoma once the lawsuit to go before a criminal court. i think she acted extraordinarily recklessly so what my goal is is to berks file a motion to allow the jury to hear all the other victims that died as a result of that which is off so the jury can get sure of what she was doing here you are not going to die it is why should you not like the medication and each

one especially time that it. you think to be evidence has absolutely failed to show. this in. the. very clear about what is the murder case and what isn't on there's other cases involving doctors frankly with. egregious conduct in this. meeting you just see that make those or you just dismiss it it's very confident i'm so. you're waiting for the doctor. yes you should be writing could we have an interview with her maybe later as soon as the case dismissed it. all along the hearing dr nichols seems detached from the events surrounding her but they can look on her face she will never speak as if none of this were her concern

. if the judge has reached a ruling. dr nichols will be tried for murder. it's an exceptional decision on the part of the american justice system the trial has to happen in a year or less from now on she's banned from practicing. dr nichols on her lawyer have decided to plead not guilty. i think it's a good thing she's going to have to go to worst and have to answer for what she did wrong. and should have to answer in front of the journeymen know it added a manslaughter better at least he didn't dismiss it she deserves she deserves you know to go before a jury trial and see and see what's going to happen with her you know my daughter

to serve that i used to prescribe all kinds of dangerous drugs that we now know are dangerous a bit at the time they were doing the best they could to treat their patients and now they're blaming one of their own victims. for doing the best she could with the medical knowledge she. will love you. i miss you. i miss you hear me. i believe you hear me. chills see. mr ford. through this this i can smile and smiles

a great help she's helped somebody else. that's what i see if you're. ok i figure. if you're really here she here every day i forget i hear i hear you here. since that case happened dozens of american doctors have been sentenced in a court of law for over prescribing opioids. and $27.00 states is suing the laboratories for financial losses that purge you pharma company is now looking for new claims for its opioid it has created subsidiaries in asia and south america. everywhere opioid consumption is on the increase despite patients knowing the truth.
