new central points of this epidemic where this is the center one of the central points of this up and demick is that this is a problem that has created private profits profits are going to. drug manufacturers and drug distributors pharmaceutical industry and socialized costs so the profits are or local or private the costs are borne by by everybody primarily i would say by counties in america the counties fund jails courts corners offices foster children agencies county hospitals libraries all of those agencies have been buckling under this under the strain of trying to support this so so these lawsuits are are a kind of a visible manifestation of the essential nature of this epidemic which is that this is a private the profits are private and the costs are socialized yet 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 unite

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
