you had the mayor saying, "the show must go on", and pumps a lot of funny into the economy. you had another camp with a public outcry saying there are so many storm victims needing our help. why don't we diversify the resources. ultimately it was cancel. for some people it was two years in the making, they are ready to go and do this. . >> you mentioned security seems to be front and center after bovt job's bombings -- boston's bombings. what is different this year. >> we saw a heightened security presence. you are also seeing it in new york. i came through the gates here a little bit ago. they went through every item in my purse. security is tight. according to police commissioner ray kelly, they have added - they have 6,000 surveillance cameras, and have added 1400 to

confident they are winning the batsle. >> not more than a year and a half today, these type of crime will disappear, will be eradicated from mexican society. >> for some that date can't come soon enough. life in mexico can be difficult enough, without having to feel nervous every time the phone rings. >> many mexicans say scams have shattered their sense of security - so much so authorities say as many of 92% of extortions are never reported. >> two french journalists killed in mali, and now french president francis hollande convened a meeting to discuss the homicide. radio journalists ghislaine dupont and claud verlon were abducted on saturday. they were interviewing the head of spritist rebel groups when

neurology. thank you for being here. >> my pleasure. >> why are so many young people suffering strokes >>. >> it's a great question. there's not been a lot of studies designed to answer that question. probably some need to be done. but it's most likely a combination of factors. the first is the surprising incidence of risk factors - such as smoking, people are getting diabetes, obesity, and then the other thing is we are getting better at detecting strokes. technology, mri scanning, and we can pick up more strokes than we used to. >> you mentioned detecting strokes. how can one tell. i understand there's a fast method. >> that is a fantastic question. because strokes can have variable symptoms, it's important that we get out the word on how to tell you are

having a stroke. there's a push to educate the government about doing a fast screen. that's the numonic, it's fast. the f stands for face. you look for asymmetry, weakness in one side of the face. you can ask someone to smile if you believe they are having a stroke. we are looking at the mouth. if one side is different from the or, it's conservative. the a is arm. ask them to hold up their arms, if one drifts, it's concerning for weakness. the s is speech. this can be slurred speech or it can be difficulty getting your words out or difficulty understanding what one says to you. any of those would be concerning and cause to bring someone into the hospital. the t is important - which is time. time is brain.

every minute 2 million neuroons die. 2 million brain cells die if they don't get the blood they need. there's nothing more important than getting to the hospital as soon as possible. >> you mentioned time is important. why is it so important to have 911 take you to the hospital instead of having someone drive you? >> i tell my patients call 911. no one likes to use an ambulance, but it is important, better than taking yourself in. (a), emergency personnel are well trained and can stablilize you before you get to the hospital. the second thing is that they can't help triage, they can be in contact with the hospitals and the doctors and let us know that you are coming so we can be ready. >> speaking of hospitals and doctors, we have an mri of the

brain. can we pull it up. can you walk us through what the graphic looks like. >> this highlights in picture form what i'm talking about when i say time is brain. so that pink area is the core area of brain tissue that died after not receiving enough blood. and the yellow area that is bigger that you see is the tissue at risk that we are trying to save, they with can reverse the damage to that area. even though the area that is affected is small, the area that could be affected if we don't do something immediately is larger. >> bringing us back to why time is important. >> you got it. >> thank you for joining us. >> mark morgan is here with sport as we kick things off with college football. >> last night's showdown with
