rubble of fire is making the near impossible task of finding survivors even more difficult if you were there the morning after you didn't see it smouldering like it is now. i mean, the stench is very, very depth and it obviously is created quite quite an obstacle. the search for life was briefly pause to allow firefighters to dig a protective fire trench. they still don't know what's burning or if the smoke is toxic, yet they press on. the biggest thing here is hope that's what's driving right now. in reality, the likelihood of finding more survivors in the rubble diminishes with each passing hour. the agonized families are waiting in a nearby hotel for news of their loved ones who were likely embed on thursday, when the building collapsed in the middle of the night. i'm concerned about my mom . i wonder if you miss the thing. i wonder if you got open up the quality of the

a settlement worth some $26000000000.00 reached with the various facets of the oil industry. and that includes the pharmaceutical companies that includes the distributors that includes local pharmacy chains. if they can reach that kind of settlement, then theoretically, that money would be available to, among other things, provide ongoing treatment for those who become addicted to the medicines. perhaps put some money into research to find pain. medications that aren't as addictive as well as pay the people who are trying to carry out all this work. and of course, pay the lawyers as well. but there's no word yet on if or when that kind of settlement could be reached. there have been negotiations, but again, that has not been concluded. so really, people who are addicted are really caught in the middle. it's very expensive to go through these treatment programs. and a lot of private insurance companies just don't pay for it. for now. 70 percent of

what are these pharmaceutical companies have to do differently when it comes to how they communicate information, our care providers. one of the things that the biggest secret that people are aware of the public in terms of the pharmaceutical industry is that the people that are out there that are really educating doctors on drugs on devices or not actually sales reps, their medical science liaison, their medical affairs professionals and these individuals have a significant impact on the education of a position once they've graduated medical school. from our perspective, those individuals should have a credential. they should be certified like any other profession before the industry still, you know, behind on the april when it comes to that, there should be some kind of men on core competencies met to ensure that we're informing prescriber decision appropriately. the u. k. is health secretary has resigned after breaching social distance and guidelines? might hancock had been under intense pressure after

he should be proclaimed already president. so there's a lot of some about both sides, both sides thinking that they hold the school and they are the every day ready for marianna, for him or you haven't produced any evidence of fraud. then why are people so convinced she's won, or at least the people who support her? her support. there's are such that there has been probably a huge media from television, radio and newspapers around the country to keep up with the muddy majority of them . the most powerful in the supporting take more, you know, live core going on, the air on those on those on that media are not even questioned by journalists.
