Al Jazeera English podcasts@aljazeera.net no Al Jazeera English Chagas is a deadly disease that has affected million of people, but one Argentine doctor is trying to stop it. It is deadly, it is spreading quickly and most of the world has never heard of it. Chagas, a parasitic disease is spread by the vinchucas bug bite. In rural Argentina villagers speak of "muerte subita" or rapid death caused by Chagas. It can eat away at the cardiac muscle until the patient's heart ruptures. It can devour the intestinal wall leading to toxicity and massive internal bleeding. It is incurable in adults and while it is not always fatal it is almost always debilitating. Chagas affects about 18 million people worldwide, most of them in Latin America and may kill as many as 50,000 each year.With more and more rural to urban migration the disease is migrating as well. While it is easy to diagnose with a blood test, it presents few obvious symptoms so many of those infected may never be properly diagnosed or treated until the disease attacks. http://bc05.ajnm.me/665003303001/665003303001_2302843206001_WEB-WIT-CHAGAS-1612-15.mp4?pubId=665003303001&videoId=2302555537001 Tue, 16 Apr 2013 14:06:13 +0300 1500 witness,you tube,Argentine,Richardo Preve,youtube,disease,witnessprog,latin america,muerte subita,Doctor Gustavo Farrugia <img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/podcasts/witnessHD/~4/VkEorcozntk" height="1" width="1"/>http://feeds.aljazeera.net/~r/podcasts/witnessHD/~3/VkEorcozntk/665003303001_2302843206001_WEB-WIT-CHAGAS-1612-15.mp4http://bc05.ajnm.me/665003303001/665003303001_2302843206001_WEB-WIT-CHAGAS-1612-15.mp4?pubId=665003303001&videoId=2302555537001http://bc05.ajnm.me/665003303001/665003303001_2302843206001_WEB-WIT-CHAGAS-1612-15.mp4?pubId=665003303001&videoId=2302555537001 Al Jazeera English Can Erodo, a nomadic Turkana in Kenya, get the education he strives for?

The annual migration of the wildlife through the Serengeti is one of the great spectacles of the natural world. And in Kenya, the migration runs across the Maasai communal lands. Recent reforms have made it possible for individual Maasai landowners to sell their land. And the temptation to do deals with commercial farms and hotel chains is huge. But this commercial development is threatening both Maasai traditions and the great migration itself. http://bc05.ajnm.me/665003303001/665003303001_1726423845001_WEB-WITBrink-1005-9.mp4?pubId=665003303001&videoId=1726406939001 Tue, 10 Jul 2012 09:17:47 +0300 1499 aljazeera,kenya,Nabiosho Conservancy,maasai mara. wildlife,youtube,Maasai Mara National Reserve,witness,witnessprog,al Jazeera <img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/podcasts/witnessHD/~4/U_Ep-w_60zU" height="1" width="1"/>http://feeds.aljazeera.net/~r/podcasts/witnessHD/~3/U_Ep-w_60zU/665003303001_1726423845001_WEB-WITBrink-1005-9.mp4http://bc05.ajnm.me/665003303001/665003303001_1726423845001_WEB-WITBrink-1005-9.mp4?pubId=665003303001&videoId=1726406939001http://bc05.ajnm.me/665003303001/665003303001_1726423845001_WEB-WITBrink-1005-9.mp4?pubId=665003303001&videoId=1726406939001 Al Jazeera English One determined aboriginal woman fights for her destitute community's share in Australia's mining profits. Aurukun in Queensland is one of Australia's most remote aboriginal communities. It is also considered one of the most destitute and dysfunctional. Unemployment hovers around 80 per cent and the local school is one of the worst-performing in Queensland. Tribal violence is part of everyday life and there are around 100 government agencies for a population of only 1,200. Gina is an aboriginal businesswoman from Aurukun and like her mother before her, she is not after hand-outs or hand-ups from the welfare system. She wants to make a meaningful difference in her community - the Wik people - by providing skills and economic opportunities for them. http://bc05.ajnm.me/665003303001/665003303001_1715857795001_WEB-WIT-Auruk-1717-1.mp4?pubId=665003303001&videoId=1715834362001 Tue, 03 Jul 2012 09:15:14 +0300 1514 Wik people,Queensland,Aurukun,youtube,aljazeera,Aboriginal,witness,witnessprog,mining,australia,al Jazeera <img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/podcasts/witnessHD/~4/ho8JUYtPS2I" height="1" width="1"/>http://feeds.aljazeera.net/~r/podcasts/witnessHD/~3/ho8JUYtPS2I/665003303001_1715857795001_WEB-WIT-Auruk-1717-1.mp4http://bc05.ajnm.me/665003303001/665003303001_1715857795001_WEB-WIT-Auruk-1717-1.mp4?pubId=665003303001&videoId=1715834362001http://bc05.ajnm.me/665003303001/665003303001_1715857795001_WEB-WIT-Auruk-1717-1.mp4?pubId=665003303001&videoId=1715834362001
