only because of federal subsidies. >> how much of a difference do the subsidies make in your bill? >> right now they're make $417 worth of difference. >> a month? >> a month. and next year if i have to pay for my kids, as well, you're looking at -- it would be making a difference of six $700 a month. >> the fear of having to suddenly cover that extra cost is keep luna's father awake at night. >> it would go into a panic because then it would turn out that would i have to completely reorient everything do i like i do, immediately, i would have to pull my kids out of school, would i have to add more classes or get a second job and would i have to figure out what to do with being childcare or my wife would have to start working more than she already does. >> luna's family is more than 300,000 people here in virginia who could lose their subsidies.

virginia. the father is stressing out not so much about the health of his children but the financial stress that his family is going to be facing. i know a lot of my colleagues are talking to families and learning more and more about families that are facing that false choice between making financial decisions and making is health decisions and finding out they can't do both and do right by their families. >> would it force to you providing care to your patients and not doing it if their health care situation is not known? >> i know a lot of my colleagues are trying ostrategize ways through the system and trying to prepare their families for the worst, by asking families to come in sooner for necessary lab work, they're trying owork with hospital schedules and imaging specialist schedules to try get families ohave those studies done sooner -- families to have those studies done sooner than

later so they swroants to deal with an unfortunately supreme court ruling. but in case of things going unfavorably they don't want these families to miss out on important health care. >> the lack of certainty that the affordable care act has had for three years how does this sort of limbo hurt business planning in terms of that side of running a medical practice but also the medical innovation that doctors depend on. >> you know i think that when it comes to trying to run a practice you're absolutely right. that predictability is important because that's very much part of the doctor-patient relationship. in primary care we depend a lot on establishings establishing a long term relationship with our patients. it's very hard to do that when we are not 100% sure how an insurance company is going to be treating a family's health care bills. when we're not 100% sure on whether the government is actually going to back us up when we're trying to do right by

these american families and provide them health care. so that unpredictability makes it extremely hard to do teen basic management running a practice and taking care of our patients. when basic scheduling is this much of a luxury it reality really, really shunt. >> dr. shriram thank you for being here. >> thanks for having me. >> video captured aftermath of attack bloody mark lipper leaving an arts center in seoul. he was giving a lecture when a man cut him with a razor blade. injuries are not life threatening. man apparently shouted no drills for war relating to military

handled the situation. critics say it didn't have to end this way. heidi zhou-castro has the story. >> why did christiana go to the police station her backpack had clothes in where she would wear for an anticipated sai at a mentalstay at amental hospital. >> why didn't she can ask you or her grandparents? >> she didn't want to burden people. if she could do it herself she would do it herself. >> confrontation inside the longview police lobby. no audio or video except her last words recorded on the lobby

phone. >> i'm in the lobby and i need some help. >> what kind of help do you need? >> the video shows an officer enter, christiana raises her hand. a message written on it, "i have a gun." she and the officer struggle for five minutes. although he overpowers her he never puts her in handcuffs then more officers enter and the young woman charges with a knife in her hand. they shoot striking her four times. >> i think that this situation could have happened different. i think that perhaps with more thoughtful action on the part of the police officers, maybe the death of this young woman could have been avoided. >> megan ryan is an assistant professor of law at southern methodist university and has analyzed other police shootings. >> we have to keep this in context and think about other police officers having to make

split second decisions. however i would like to know or i'd be curious to know why the girl was not handcuffed, why she was not immobilized. >> this is where christiana stood. she is struggling with him through this area, he pushes her onto these seats and here she doesn't move for a full minute with him leaning over her. why does the officer not put her in handcuffs? we go to longview police spokes woman christy bryant for answers. >> i don't know. i wasn't there i can't speak to what was going through his mind. >> is it protocol to not put someone in hand curves? >> not necessarily no. >> do you think it was an opportunity he had missed? >> i don't know, can't answer that question. >> that wasn't the only time christiana appeared to be

overpowered. >> he's sitting up leaning against her holding her and now 22 seconds pass with her not moving. >> right. >> why doesn't he put her in handcuffs then? >> he's seen the 95 too. you got remember, she is got the knife. >> why does seeing a knife mean he doesn't put her in handcuffs? >> i can't speak for him. >> 12 seconds passion where she's face down, he's kneeling on top of her. at that moment why doesn't he put handcuffs on her? >> i can't answer that question. >> if you were to just zoom in on that one instance where she's coming at him with a niefer and sheniefer andshe is shot, that would make sense, -- with a 95 and she knife

and she was shot is. >> that is something i can't speak to. there again we're trained to do our jobs. we're trained very well to do our jobs and i can't speak to what his decisions were. >> when this video was initially released, the chief spoke at the prrchls andpress conference and he said, this officer followed his training. do you guys still stand by that? >> yes. >> reporter: so everything he did here was department protocol? >> what he did was what we were trying to do, yes. >> reporter: so not subduing a suspect when she is immobilized for more than a minute, that's what you're trained to do? >> no. what i'm saying is that our training and our experience or what that officer did at that particular moment.

>> well let me ask you this. she was a 130 pound young woman. he is double her size. why was he not able to subdue her? >> i can't answer that question. >> the police department would not immediately share information on its use of force policy. al jazeera's public records request is pending. >> what kind of mental health training do officers receive here? >> critical incident training. >> that's law enforcement training that the police officers go through every four years. the officer had severed the flaing police academytraining in police academy which he graduated from a year ago. >> this has happened in police departments across the country. so i think it really pushes to us take another look. >> reporter: then there's the seven minutes after christiana is shot. seven minutes with the young woman lying on the floor with

officers trained in cpr none check her vital signs or come to her aid. >> many say that's a sign that police are heartless not to help a young girl. >> those three officers are not heartless at all. >> what are they? >> they are -- they're good officers. and they -- they're very caring officers. if you played the video a little later you see them actually sitting down ton chairs they onts chairs on the chairs and say oh my gosh, they're just drained. >> it's horrific to be able to watch your daughter die over and over again. it's really hard. >> reporter: how much responsibility do you think the police have to bear in this? >> all of it. just -- >> reporter: let me ask you how much responsibility does your daughter bear? >> because the situation was

mishandled i don't think -- i don't think that there is anything, you know, on her where she should still be alive. >> the officers who shot christiana are now on full duty. an investigation led by the texas rangers is ongoing. police say they are cooperativing with the district attorney and the case will go to a grand jury. david i have to emphasize again the pacing of this confrontation. it lasts for five minutes but for a full third of that time christiana is not moving pearnlg overapparently overpowered. we have shown this video to other officers and they point to the pacing as very troubling. >> what was the feeling had the officers did absolutely nothing.

>> the police-community relationship has been pretty steady up until now and this town of 80,000 that's far from any major metropolitan cities there has not been any locally borne protest. anonymous and occupy have been trying to stir up fervor. >> the grand jury investigation where does that stand now? what kind of timing will the grand jury take to make a decision in this? >> right so the texas rangers are doing that investigation and this could go on for another two or three months. but the grand jury will indeed consider this case. local law requires that for any fatal police shooting. >> heidi zhou-castro reporting live from texas heidi thank you. doris ful err fuller, joins us from san franciscan, doris what do you make of this case?

>> well, it's a heartbreaking case. it's an unusual case in some ways because christiana actually was in treatment and was seeking help. usually what's called justifiable homicides that we looked at involve people who aren't treated and who are not seeking help. but this is a hard one for me to look at. because i have actually been in a situation with a young woman who was dangerous to herself. and watched police respond. and these are tough situations. they are tough for officers because they're trained ofight crime. obviously, they're tough on the patients impossible for the families. >> how typical or atypical is it for police across the country to react to somebody who is mentally ill in their midst where they simply decide we're

not going to shoot them and after they're shot they don't provide aid is that usual? >> of course it's not usual. the police have millions perhaps tens of millions of encounters with people every day including people with mental illness and these things don't happen. but what we do know is that probably somewhere in america every single day someone with typically untreated mental illness is shot by an officer in the line of duty. now, why is that happening regardless of the specific circumstances in each case? it's happening because we have a systematic failure in america at every level for people with mental illness. we don't provide hospital beds for them. we don't use laws we have to help them stay in treatment. and again christiana is unusual in this regard. probably our studies indicate that about have the people in

the united states live in a county where the officers have gotten crisis intervention, team training, that means half don't. and so what happens? well, our officers are trained to fight crime. and we've turned them into mental health workers. >> but regardless in this particular case were they justified in your estimation to go ahead and shoot her? >> you know that's not ajudgment i'm prepared to make. i wasn't there. there is an investigation pending. i can't really comment on that. i can say that -- yes? >> i was going to say you did comment on what you described was systematic failures in our society to deal with the mentally ill. are you referring to the transition over the last several decades in which there used to be institutionization of those people and yet those same people now have nowhere to go and

they're having run-ins with the police. is that what you're talking about? >> david, that's what i'm talking about. i love that institutionization, word. we transinstitutionallize people with mental illness. in the 1950s there were 550,000 hospital beds for people with mental illness we don't need that many beds, we have 35 35,000 beds. where have those people gone? they are in jails in prisons on the streets and a lot of them were dead. >> doris thanks for coming on, we appreciate it. there are questions tonight about another controversial police killing this one in los angeles. we know the man shot by police on sunday was homeless. he was an ex convict who served

13 years for robbing a bank. we don't know who exactly he was. originally police say he was a french national. the french say he stole that identity. now u.s. immigration officials say the man was actually from cameroon. his death at the hands of police has sparked outrage. jennifer london has more from los angeles's skid row. >> these are some of the nation's poorest streets 50 city blocks known as skid row in los angeles. where exactly do you call home on this sidewalk? >> you standing on it, wherever i lie down. >> wherever you lie down is where you spend the night? >> you have these missions that's down here and you go up in them, you have beds that's dirty and nasty and you might come out with a bed bug overnights. >> is it better for you be on

the street than in a shelter? >> i'd rather be on the street. >> everything you own is in this blue backpack? >> this is my clothings. these are my socks my protection my soap. >> you won't find skid row on any official city map for los angeles but its boundaries are well flown. right now i'm driving on seventh street towards central into the heart of the highest concentration of homeless people in the country. still it's an easy place for most people to ignore. an outpost for destitute that is less than a mile from city hall. monte didn't want his face on camera but did show me the patch of sidewalk he calls home. >> clothes in one corner, books and papers in one corner, cosmetics in another. these are all blankets. >> the cardboard boxes that are

ubiquitous missions and shelters and soup kitchens were centralized in the 1970s as part of the city's containment strategy, which is exactly what it sounds like, contain the poorest of the poor in one area of the city. >> we haven't figured a way to intentionally reverse that and it's really become as described by the police, years ago it's become a mardi gras. it's become a survival of the fittest. not enough bathroom facilities. >> somehow that acceptable? >> it is not -- how is that acceptable. >> it is not senl not senl. it is embarrassing, it is shameless. >> leaving thousands on the street. there are a number of different reasons why people end up here on skid row. about 20% of the population are

veterans. many more suffer from addiction and substance abuse mental illness is rampant. >> imagine a place where people are living and dying on the streets. dying of hypothermia when it rains and gets below 40 degrees heroin addiction women have no charchtionchance of avoiding sexual assault, there is no way we should be leaving people in this condition. >> reporter: last year the city announced a new plan of giving those living on the streets another chance. to reduce overall homelessness with a focus on mental illness. kenneth ray adams says he's yet to see any real differences. >> i do have mental illness and there are times i can't get the help i need. there are programs that say they can help you do this do this do this. but at the same time when you wait for that help they are not

giving you that help. >> so he and others wait in the fact of bad to worse is a way of life. jennifer london, skid row, los angeles. >> theangeles. >> the practices of hillary clinton, related on a computer server tracked back to her family's home in new york. the practice of running her own e-mail server would give mrs. clinton significant chrome to limiting access to her archives. al jazeera department cps government system. the employee said it was well-known that clinton's e-mails were at greater risk of being hacked intercepted or monitored but the warnings were ignored. clinton is is considering a 2016 presidential campaign has so far turned down requests to publicly
