Cough syrup deaths: Why drugs made in India are sparking safety concerns www.bbc.com

In the winter of 2019, a number of children living in India's Jammu region began falling sick with what many thought was a mysterious illness.
The children, suffering from cough and cold, had been prescribed a cough syrup by local doctors. Instead of recovering, they fell seriously ill, vomiting, running high fever and kidneys shutting down. By the time the mystery was solved, 11 children, aged between two months and six years, had died.
Tests found that three samples of the cough syrup, made by an Indian drug company called Digital Vision, contained diethylene glycol or DEG, an industrial solvent used in the making of paints, ink, brake fluids. Kidney failure is common after consuming this poisonous alcohol.
Earlier this month, the World Health Organization (WHO) put out a global warning over four India-made cough syrups thought to be linked to the deaths of 66 children in The Gambia. Lab analysis of the samples of a syrup made by a 32-year-old firm called Maiden Pharmaceuticals Limited confirmed the presence of "unacceptable amounts" of diethylene glycol and another toxic alcohol called ethylene glycol.
The tainted drugs and the tragic deaths again shone a spotlight on India's $42bn - half of the revenues come from exports - drug manufacturing industry.
Some 3,000 firms operate 10,000 pharmaceutical factories making generics (copies of branded medicines that usually sell for a fraction of their price), over-the-counter medicines, vaccines and ingredients in what is one of the world's largest drug-making countries. Although India imports 70% of the active ingredient chemicals for its medicines from China, it is trying to make more of them at home.
A view of the Ranbaxy Laboratories Limited pharmaceutical Indian factory at Toansa village in Ropar about 50 Km from Chandigarh on May 14, 2013. The US subsidiary of New Delhi-based Ranbaxy Laboratories pleaded guilty to seven counts of felony after it distributed several India-produced adulterated generic drugs in the United States in 2005 and 2006.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi has championed India as the "pharmacy of the world". India's traditional expertise in making generics has helped make it a formidable low-cost maker of drugs and become a global manufacturing base.
Some 40% of over-the-counter and generic medicines sold in the US and a quarter of all medicines dispensed in the UK come from India. The country supplies some two-thirds of anti-retroviral drugs globally to fight HIV. Outside the USA, India has the most number of drug making plants - 800 - that are compliant with the US health and safety requirements.
Yet such breathless growth - the industry has been running at a clip of over 9% every year for nearly a decade - has been clouded by allegations of problems of quality and weak regulation.
Many believe that India has always battled a flood of counterfeit drugs, mostly sold in small towns and villages. But analysts say the physicians and patients are possibly conflating sub-standard drugs with what they think are fake medicines. State-run drug testing labs in many states are under-funded, short-staffed and poorly equipped. Regulatory oversight and enforcement is unsurprisingly spotty, analysts say. In 2014, India's top drug regulator famously told a newspaper: "If I follow US standards I will have to shut almost all drug facilities."
More than 70 people, mostly children, have died in five separate mass poisoning incidents related to drugs spiked with DEG since 1972.
In 2013, after a seven-year long investigation, top Indian drug maker Ranbaxy Laboratories was ordered to pay a record $500m fine in the US, the biggest handed down to a generic drug maker for improper manufacturing, storing and testing of drugs.
A teacher administers a deworming tablet to children to prevent intestinal worms as part of India's National Deworming Programme at a government primary school in Hyderabad on September 15, 2022
Official government records reveal that between 2007 and 2020, more than 7,500 drugs sampled in just three of India's 28 states and three union territories had failed quality tests and had been declared drugs "not of standard quality" or inferior, research by Dinesh Thakur, a former Indian drug executive-turned-public health expert, found.
These drugs failed tests for not having enough of ingredient chemicals, impaired ability to dissolve in the patients' blood or were found to be contaminated.
Each failed sample typically represents a batch of the medicine, which in turn could run into hundreds of thousands of tablets, capsules and injections. "The total number of patients affected by such inferior drugs possibly runs into hundreds of thousands, perhaps millions over the last decade," says Mr Thakur, co-author of The Truth Pill, a piercing look at drug regulation in India.
Mr Thakur says he worries that many Indian firms are not following "good manufacturing practices" or GMP, a drug industry term to refer to testing for quality control. He believes that the DEG-related incidents had occurred at home - and now abroad - because some firms "quite often fail to test either the raw materials or the final formulation before shipping it to the market".
"Given the sheer quality of drugs detected as "not of standard quality" over the last decade from the open market it is obvious that a large number of manufacturing facilities are completely flouting quality and process control procedures that form the core of 'good manufacturing practices'" says Mr Thakur.
A photograph shows collected cough syrups in Banjul on October 06, 2022. - Indian authorities are investigating cough syrups made by a local pharmaceutical company after the World Health Organisation said they could be responsible for the deaths of 66 children in The Gambia.
That's not all. Using right to information law, Mr Thakur found many of India's state-owned drug testing labs lacked key equipment. Drug sampling practices, he noted, date back to a colonial 1875 law where inspectors pick up a small number of random samples from the market.
India has been debating a law to recall drugs that have been found to be inferior from the market since nearly half a century. "All it has are guidelines, which many state regulators seem to be unaware of. Have you ever heard of a drug recalled in India?" says Mr Thakur.
It is difficult to understand the scale of the problem - many of India's drug factories are indeed world-class. Physicians say they largely trust India-made drugs.
Dr Rahul Baxi, a Mumbai-based diabetologist, told me that only once in recent years he became suspicious about a drug when glucose levels of a patient shot up after he switched off from branded drug to a cheaper generic.
But he suspects that there could be counterfeit or inferior drugs being sold in small towns and villages. "Many of my patients that come from far flung parts of India buy six months of prescribed drugs from pharmacies in the city because they say they don't trust drugs available in their areas," Dr Baxi said.
After the deaths of the children in The Gambia, India claimed that its federal regulator was "robust" and sought more details from the WHO on the causality of the deaths with the exported cough syrup.
Food and Drug Administration (FDA), which regulates medical products in the US, posts inspection status of firms supplying drugs to the US and warning letters. A spokesperson told me that its policies ensure that "companies - regardless of where the are located - meet the FDA's strict standards for producing medicines for US patients that are high quality, safe and effective".
A pharmaceutical industry leader, insisting on anonymity, told me that "although some countries do have very rigid quality standards", India's drugs were completely safe. "We are not defending the mishaps," he said, "but these are aberrations". Mr Thakur says: "An aberration should only happen once. You can't play with people's lives".

Mongolia’s judicial system is under immense pressure www.news.mn

The Mongolian justice system has progressed significantly towards protection against arbitrary detention but it is important not to stop, as further measures are needed if rights are to be fully respected, UN experts said.
While commending the government for multiple reforms during the past five years, a delegation from the UN Working Group on Arbitrary Detention said arrests without a judicial warrant are still the norm rather than the exception in Mongolia and individuals are routinely interrogated in police custody without the presence of a lawyer.
“It is concerning that criminal investigators and prosecutors enjoy vast and unchecked powers, while defendants are not afforded all the guarantees of due process, disregarding the equality of arms,” the group said in a statement at the end an official visit to the country. It has made recommendations to the Government on how to further strengthen safeguards.
“We welcome the reform of criminal justice laws, the enactment of a law on human rights defenders, as well as the establishment of a National Preventive Mechanism. Nevertheless, these strategic decisions need to be effectively translated into practice, since the adequate implementation of the law cannot be taken for granted.”
The experts said the judicial system is under immense pressure, due to the lack of new and specialised courts, shortage of staff and case overload.
“This situation could be preventing judges from devoting sufficient time to give detailed consideration to each case, opting for simply granting the prosecutors’ request, without giving due consideration to the arguments and evidence presented by the defence.”
Some crimes were vaguely worded or not properly defined in legislation, including provisions used to combat the spread of COVID-19.
“It is concerning that these could be used to interfere with the legitimate work of human rights defenders, especially as they protest against strategic development projects or to restrict the peaceful expressions of opinions and freedoms of assembly and association,” the experts said.
The Working Group said Mongolia was tackling what appears to be a widespread problem of alcohol abuse and it recommended that the Government approach this from a health and social perspective, for example, by implementing community-based treatment. Resorting to deprivation of liberty and tasking the security and law enforcement agencies or officials with the prime responsibility was not the answer.
During the visit, from 3 to 14 October, the delegation – Elina Steinerte and Matthew Gillett – met Government officials, judges, prosecutors and lawyers, civil society representatives and other stakeholders. They visited 21 facilities and interviewed around 65 people deprived of their liberty.
A final report on the visit will be presented to the Human Rights Council in September 2023.

Germany looks to Mongolia in push for critical raw materials www.bloomberg.com

Germany wants to expand investment in Mongolia to help secure strategically important raw materials including copper and rare earths, according to Chancellor Olaf Scholz.
The East Asian nation sandwiched between Russia and China can be a reliable partner for Germany as it seeks to diversify suppliers and guarantee access to the materials it needs in areas like battery and chip production, Scholz said Friday after talks with Mongolian Prime Minister Oyun-Erdene Luvsannamsrai in Berlin.
“What is important now is that very concrete projects are identified where cooperation can be taken forward,” Scholz told reporters at a joint news conference. Germany wants “many good partners around the world” as it looks to avoid “placing all of its eggs in one basket,” he added.
Major economies like Germany are competing fiercely for increasingly scarce resources and access to metals and rare earths is crucial for their climate and digital transitions.
Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine has also been a wake-up call for Germany, which built up a heavy reliance on imports of Russian fossil fuels in recent decades and is now seeking to diversify suppliers of the materials it needs to keep its economy running.
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said last month that commodities like lithium and rare earths will soon be more important than oil and gas.
She predicted that EU demand for rare earths alone — which are used in anything from electric motors to wind turbines and portable electronics — will increase fivefold by 2030.

Commitment reaffirmed to bring Mongolia-Turkey relations to new level www.montsame.mn

Chairman of the State Great Khural G.Zandanshatar will pay an official visit to the Republic of Turkey on October 13-17 at the invitation of Speaker of the Turkish Grand National Assembly Mustafa Şentop.
On October 14, the Speakers of the two countries held official talks.
At the outset, the Turkish Speaker expressed satisfaction with the fact that the development of relations and cooperation between the two countries, which was slowed down due to the global outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, is being intensified and high-level visit is being organized. He then emphasized that Mongolia declared Turkey as its “third neighbor” in 2011 while expressing willingness to bring Mongolia-Turkey relations to the level of “Strategic Partnership”.
Moreover, the Turkish Speaker expressed his interest in expanding cooperation in air transportation and put forth a proposal to increase the frequency of direct flights by Turkish Airlines and cancel the passenger limit.
Expressing his commitment to further expanding interparliamentary cooperation, Mr. Mustafa Şentop invited Mr. G.Zandanshatar to take part in the 11th Conference of the Parliamentary Assembly of Turkic-speaking States in April 2023.
Thanking his counterpart for the warm welcome, the Mongolian Speaker expressed satisfaction with the development Mongolia-Turkey relations and cooperation and underscored that the people of Mongolia and Turkey have a long history of friendly relations.
He then reaffirmed his commitment to bringing Mongolia-Turkey relations to the level of “Strategic Partnership”, before expressing support for his counterpart’s proposal to increase the frequency of direct flights and cancel the passenger limit.
“Mongolia has over 70 million livestock and has the potential to bring 20 million livestock into economic circulation annually. We have a capacity to export 100 thousand tons of meat and 25 million livestock leather and raw materials per year. Mongolia accounts for 50 percent of the supply of cashmere products in the world. Therefore, I would like to express willingness to deepen cooperation in the fields of agriculture and animal husbandry based on the Turkish advanced technology and Mongolia’s resources”, said the Mongolian Speaker.
In accordance with the Government of Mongolia’s decision to declare 2023 the year of visiting Mongolia, the Mongolian side also voiced interest in cooperating with the Turkish side in increasing the flow of tourists.
He mentioned that the ruins of Hulagu Khan's summer palace and the monuments related to the ancient Turkic Empire were found in Turkey's Van province and Mongolia's Arkhangai province respectively. He then expressed willingness to expand cooperation in the protection and conservation of cultural monuments and heritages and develop tourism based on archaeological discoveries.

China’s Xi opens Party Congress with speech tackling Taiwan, Hong Kong and zero-Covid www.cnn.com

Chinese leader Xi Jinping on Sunday vowed to steer China through grave challenges toward national rejuvenation, advancing a nationalistic vision that has put it on a collision path with the West.
Speaking at the opening of the 20th Party Congress, where he is poised to secure a norm-breaking third term in power, Xi struck a confident tone, highlighting China’s growing strength and rising influence under his first decade in power.
But he also repeatedly underscored the risks and challenges the country faces.
Describing the past five years as “highly unusual and extraordinary,” Xi said the ruling Communist Party has led China through “a grim and complex international situation” and “huge risks and challenges that came one after another.”
The very first challenges Xi listed were the Covid-19 pandemic, Hong Kong and Taiwan — all of which he claimed China had come away from victorious.
The Chinese government, Xi said, had “protected people’s lives and health” from Covid, turned Hong Kong from “chaos to governance,” and carried out “major struggles” against “independence forces” in the island of Taiwan, a self-governing democracy Beijing claims as its own territory despite having never controlled it.
Wen-Ti Sung, a political scientist with the Australia National University’s Taiwan Studies Program, said Xi’s decision to flag the Taiwan issue early on in his speech was a departure from previous speeches and conveys a “newfound urgency on making progress on the Taiwan issue.”
Xi won the loudest and longest applause from the nearly 2,300 handpicked delegates inside the Great Hall of the People when he spoke about Taiwan again later in the speech.
He said China would “strive for peaceful reunification” — but then gave a grim warning, saying “we will never promise to renounce the use of force and we reserve the option of taking all measures necessary.”
“The wheels of history are rolling on towards China’s reunification and the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. Complete reunification of our country must be realized,” Xi said to thundering applause.
Xi also underscored the “rapid changes in the international situation” — a thinly veiled reference to the fraying ties between China and the West, which have been further strained by Beijing’s tacit support for Moscow following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
He said China has “taken a clear-cut stance against hegemonism and power politics” and “never wavered” in opposition to unilateralism and “bullying” — in an apparent jab at what Beijing views as a US-led world order that needs to be dismantled.
Laying out broad directions for the next five years, Xi said China would focus on “high quality education” and innovation to “renew growth” in the country’s crisis-hit economy. China will “speed up efforts to achieve greater self-reliance in science and technology,” he said, in comments that come just months after his damaging crackdown on the country’s private sector and major tech companies.
Xi also vowed to speed up efforts to build the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) into a “world-class military,” pledging to improve the PLA’s ability to safeguard national sovereignty and build strategic deterrence. He also urged the PLA to strengthen its training and improve its “ability to win.”
Xi’s speech was peppered with the Chinese term for “security” — which was mentioned about 50 times. He called national security the “foundation of the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation,” and urged enhancing security in military, economy and “all aspects,” both at home and abroad.
Another point of focus was Marxism and ideology. “I don’t think there will be any relaxation of the ideological atmosphere in the coming five years,” said Victor Shih, an expert on elite Chinese politics at the University of California.
Dali Yang, a political scientist at the University of Chicago, said the directions laid out in Xi’s opening speech were a continuation of his previous policies. By emphasizing the challenges and struggles, he said, it justifies “the need for a strong party and its great leader.”
Cementing power
The week-long congress kicked off on Sunday morning amid heightened security, escalated zero-Covid restrictions and a frenzy of propaganda and censorship.
The Communist Party’s most consequential meeting in decades, the congress is set to cement Xi’s status as the China’s most powerful leader since late Chairman Mao Zedong, who ruled until his death aged 82. It will also have a profound impact on the world, as Xi doubles down on an assertive foreign policy to boost China’s international clout and rewrite the US-led global order.
A sense of crisis has defined Xi's rule. It will shape China well into the future
The meetings will be mostly held behind close doors throughout the week. When delegates reemerge at the end of the congress next Saturday, they will conduct a ceremonial vote to rubber stamp Xi’s work report and approve changes made to the party constitution — which might bestow Xi with new titles to further strengthen his power.
The delegates will also select the party’s new Central Committee, which will hold its first meeting the next day to appoint the party’s top leadership — the Politburo and its Standing Committee, following decisions already hashed out behind the scenes by party leaders before the congress.
The congress will be a major moment of political triumph for Xi, but it also comes during a period of potential crisis. Xi’s insistence on an uncompromising zero-Covid policy has fueled mounting public frustration and crippled economic growth. Meanwhile, diplomatically, his “no-limits” friendship with Russian President Vladimir Putin has further strained Beijing’s ties with the West following Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine.
In the lead-up to the congress, officials across China drastically ramped up restrictions to prevent even minor Covid outbreaks, imposing sweeping lockdowns and increasingly frequent mass Covid tests over a handful of cases. Yet infections caused by the highly transmissible Omicron variant have continued to flare. On Saturday, China reported nearly 1,200 infections, including 14 in Beijing.
Public anger toward zero-Covid came to the fore Thursday in an exceptionally rare protest against Xi in Beijing. Online photos showed two banners were unfurled on a busy overpass denouncing Xi and his policies, before being taken down by police.
“Say no to Covid test, yes to food. No to lockdown, yes to freedom. No to lies, yes to dignity. No to cultural revolution, yes to reform. No to great leader, yes to vote. Don’t be a slave, be a citizen,” one banner reads.
“Go on strike, remove dictator and national traitor Xi Jinping,” read the other.
The Chinese public have paid little attention to the party’s congresses in the past – they have no say in the country’s leadership reshuffle, or the making of major policies. But this year, many have pinned their hopes on the congress to be a turning point for China to relax its Covid policy.
A series of recent articles in the party’s mouthpiece, however, suggest that could be wishful thinking. The People’s Daily hailed zero-Covid as the “best choice” for the country, insisting it is “sustainable and must be followed.”
On Sunday, Xi defended his highly contentious and economically damaging zero-Covid policy.
“In responding to the sudden outbreak of Covid-19, we prioritized the people and their lives above all else, and tenaciously pursued dynamic zero-Covid policy in launching all-out people’s war against the virus,” he said.
Alfred Wu, an associate professor at the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy at the National University of Singapore, said Xi’s words signaled it is “impossible for China to change the zero-Covid strategy in the near future.”

German Chancellor Hopes To Get Key Raw Materials From Mongolia www.foxnews.com

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said Friday that his country wants to strengthen ties to Mongolia, citing the country’s wealth of key commodities such as copper and rare earth metals.
Speaking after a meeting in Berlin with Mongolian Prime Minister Luvsannamsrain Oyun-Erdene, he said the two leaders had agreed to “deepen and also expand cooperation between our two countries.”
Scholz said combating climate change and transforming the energy sectors would be the focus of a meeting in Mongolia next year, adding that the country has “enormous potential when it comes to wind and solar power.”
Germany, meanwhile, is keen to strike deals to import more commodities from the landlocked Asian nation to reduce its reliance on countries such as Russia and China.
“Mongolia will become an important partner for many raw materials in our diversification strategy,” said Scholz, adding that concrete projects now need to be identified and legal certainty for investments ensured.

Entity established for Sakhalin-1 oil and gas project www.nhk.or.jp

A new entity that will take over the Sakhalin-1 oil and gas project in the Russian Far East has been officially set up.
Russian state media TASS reported that the company was registered on Friday. Its head office is located in Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk.
The move comes after the Russian government issued a decree to that end. A subsidiary of state-run Rosneft was assigned to become the new entity.
Foreign participants in the Sakhalin-1 project must notify the Russian government within one month if they agree to retain their stakes in the project.
Japan has a 30 percent stake in the project through Sakhalin Oil and Gas Development Company, or SODECO.
Half of the holding is owned by the Japanese government, and the rest is held by businesses, including Japan Petroleum Exploration Co. and trading firms Itochu and Marubeni.
The Sakhalin-1 project was originally led by Exxon Mobil with Rosneft, SODECO and others as partners. But in March, Exxon announced its intention to end its operations in response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
