so so these lawsuits are a kind of a visible manifestation of the central nature of the stuff the demickhich is that this is a private the profits are private and the costs are socialized yeah it's interesting because in oklahoma the attorneys wanted $17000000000.00 from johnson and johnson defined rehab clinics for addicted patients for example the judge saying that that is not a drug makers responsibility and people around the world looking at this story going to be asking will whose responsibility in the united states isn't that. it's a good question on much or how to parse that out that issue certainly every county in america is seeing its drug treatment which is already slim overwhelmed most of the jails are are over when the jails have become almost a shock to treatment centers that's where a lot about extend up and so exactly how to parse this out i think one of the things that these next batch of lawsuits may try to have to address is exactly how this money gets you that will be whatever how so that will be a major question before counties before companies before states for some

or business if it isn't demick areas and the answer is yes to that you would probably have to take the drug continuously during your stay and so just remind us when could we expect the drug to be of rolled out for example in you know in places that africa is huge well we're very very excited to push this forward now editor in a full scale drug discovery program so we think we've got a 2 year lead to develop certain safety aspects and then it goes to the bill and melinda gates foundation of minette medicines for malaria that chip the final safety and so we're looking at maybe 5 years before clinical trials but it's a relatively short period we think we've got a good startle me strong. under tobin lead scientist of that study that discovered this new drug at the university of glasgow sir thank you so much for having explained it to us here on al-jazeera thank you. and that is it for me and the team here in london let's go back to julie in doha barbara thank you it's been 2 years since i saw was defeated in iraq more than a 1000000 people remain displaced the include 300000 from the city

reality let me say 22 things here i clearly understand the concerns in rwanda with having this frankly demick now in this large urban setting directly on the border between congo and rwanda but. and i know this crossing point from his it's true last year with 40000 people crossing the border every day this is a situation that really but from my experience as an m.s.f. doctor and in west africa. we know that clues in regular. board approved always have the risk of forcing people into the non-money toilet pathway i see i see and having said that that would also have a more infection has been detected how great is the risk that you know this goes outside of the affected regions because you can connect to other parts of the continent through from goma. excellent question i think. this border close to the border situation shows very much how important it is to 1st of all to build up trust with the population to not take steps that make. the population even more boring to make them hide away this is exactly what it bono ones ok to go to once to kill and spread in the darkness we have to do this tha

well i mean there was an enormous hole to dig themselves out of the issues of debt corruption in demick structural challenges facing the economy which are tied very much into. a predatory patronage system around the politics is going to take a very long time to unpick and he faces enormous resistance within his own party and within the state to these kinds of changes so we should temper our expectations and in terms of what could be achieved but a number of low hanging fruit have certainly not been picked in this regard and there is a real concern about the bona feeders of the monitor group ministration and its ability to deliver so i think that this is there in lies is huge challenge that he needs to reach out to a broader range of zimbabweans this is what he promised on at his inauguration day in office last year and what we're seeing increasingly is that he remains the leader of only one political party and that's the ruling parties and if you haven't described his administration as being a reason. some analysts talking to us today that's precisely the word they have used for those p
