tremendously important opportunity for us to work together to see how we can defend ourselves against this aggression, thistor, how we can roll it back. it's a daunting task. >> there was little said publiby the leaders. no joint press conference, as is common. all in all, it was a low-key meeting designed to turn down the temperature in bilateral relations. that's a stark contrast with netanyahu's last visit in march. >> his excellency, benjamin netanyahu. >> that's when he defied the president and took his fight against the iran nuclear deal to a joint meeting of congress this is a bad deal. it's a very bad deal. we are better off without it. >> in many ways, the tactic backfired. the other did survived the vote in congress in spite of the speech and it angered many democrats who normally support israel. this time, netanyahu wants to mend fences. he will speak at a think tank aligned with democrats and mr. obama and meet with both

27%. so very, very impressive reductions. and in fact, the study was stopped early because the results were so impressive. >> were so impressive that people needed to know about them. >> right. >> to achieve those lower blood pressure, moert patients will need more medications. >> would mean more side effects. how big a concern is that? >> well, you are always bound between benefits and risks. we saw some possible risks although we don't really know exactly how much risk yet. it may just be short-term changes. but i would say here the medications we are using were standard maid indications that any practitioner would use. we were careful to use preferred drugs, if you will doses, very careful about our blood pressure measurements and actually, to get the difference we saw, which was a big difference in blood pressure, it was only one medication and difference. >> right. >> very, very achievable. >> it did seem that the

negatives substantially were -- the position substantially outweighed the negatives when it came to those side effects. so what would you recommend people do now? >> obviously, i recommend have a discussion with your healthcare provider sot guidelines we are going to try to sort all of this out to and help the practice community. some patients are going to be very similar in their characteristics to those we studied in this study and some patients are going to be very differently and many patients are going to be in the middle. so that's where the art of practice comes in, trying to understand the data. how does it apply to my patient? and this what are the particular issues around my patient? so, that so, that's the discussion to have with your healthcare provider. >> could your findings have consequences for people younger than 50? >> certainly we didn't directly study that type of person but a young personats very high risk, i think many practitioners would

say, yes. we might extend the application of those results to that sort of person. >> right. the added medications would not be a big burden for most people because most blood pressure medications are generics? >> yes. that's true. many are sport by insurance and, of course, we are only talking about one medication difference on average. >> doctor -- it's not a lot that you have to add to your daily medications? >> correct. >> and dr. whelton from tulane university in a very important study. it's good of you to clarify us? >> love to be with you. >> sea world said it will end its killer what i will shores in the current form. what the park has planned next for its orcas and what animal rights activists are saying. when you gafl fell, this became the second most expensive art work ever sold at action. the final price next.
