5:03 am
of the possibility of holding elections. we need to imagine some form of interim governing authority emerging. there has to be a process of constitutional reform. they'll have to be some opportunity for syrians to become acquainted with what a democratic system looks like and how it operates for parties to form and all of that and will take some time. so it's entirely possible that syrians will be able to participate. ready and shaping a future government, but it's not something that i would look to as a very quick next step. that was middle list analyst, steven hartaman, this speaking to data of the or alright it with a lead state, a syria must and find a way to revive an economy that has been hold it out by almost 14 years of civil war of a 3000000 syrians severely food insecure oil production is just the fraction of what it was before. the conflict and the county is into more than many in serious i

. it can only get better from here. the syrians gather in the main square of the capital, damascus to mark a new dawn after the fall of president, bashar al assad. for the full of us side is broadly welcome. syrians remained anxious about the price of food. the grim might look for their livelihoods, and the tattered stays of the economy. and the new one came out today and thought and thought, there's no fear. it says nothing to be scared of. everything is okay in the country 2nd, so i'll just hope the economy gets back on track and everything will be okay. serious economy trying to buy more than 50 percent between 20102021. the world bank the leaves, the economic impact and ordinary people could be far larger. most conscripts in the syrian army were a minimum wage, which is the equivalent of just $21.00 per month. hardly the kind of salary that will inspire a soldier to defend the government,
5:05 am
which many were on into the aspect to begin with. even before the rebels began their lightning advance out of it, live providence. on november 27th, nearly 13000000 people in syria needs of food assistance. assad government slash subsidies on the price of bread and shortages, drove prices up. this meant some families were spending more than half their income of the staple food. it's at the breaking point at the moment in syria, after 13 or 14 years of conflict to over 3000000 syrians are severely food insecure and cannot afford enough food. then monitor shift is that the global levels, emergency levels, a total of 12900000 people in syria, where classified as food and secure and needed food assistance before the recent crisis. after more than a decade of war, instability and sanctions, the syrian pound is close to collapse. the official exchange rates of the syrian

the country's opposition beta john for that money mahatma, the widow of subsidized presidential elections. he received 56 percent of the both, who already being president, 10 years ago, prioritized the economy implants, they appeal to young voters, his or his election is the why the exit sounds like an i'm across. the 2nd or 3rd is of arrested a passenger on the domestic flood after he allegedly tried to break into the cockpit via craft. continue not it states. other passengers said the attack and tried to subdue a flight attendant using a pain as a weapon. the line said no one was hummed in the incidents. sotheby's is auctioning a 1500 year old marble tablet inscribed with the 10 commandments made in the run and be some time in pie. it's the oldest such a copy of the ancient moles which abraham make religion say were given to god by
5:08 am
moses are given to moses by god rather amounts to not prosecute as in new york and filed near the charges against a suspect accused of killing unitedhealthcare c o brian thompson in manhattan last week, police in the state of pennsylvania, arrested the man of the he was sponsored at the mcdonald's near the town about 2 now he had a fight with a silencer. and a fraudulent identification matching the, the one used by the suspect to check into a new york cost. good afternoon everyone. the deputy reported. laura gabel okay. in washington, tell me more about the suspect so far. what we know from what we heard from police as that a 26 year old suspect was born and raised in maryland. so a state not very far from here from the capital, the connection to pennsylvania, which is where he was detained, is that he studied engineering at the university of pennsylvania. and so when he
5:09 am
was detained, he had on him a handwritten money festa that criticizes the way to the healthcare companies, puts profit above care for the people. so that is quite a clue as of why the ceo of one of the biggest players in this industry was murdered last week in the country. it has to be said that it's synonymous with gun violence. laura, this case is attracting a lot of attention in the us. why is that these things to engage both online and also offline? a lot of people seem intrigued and very much into this case because it sparked a larger debate about the way that the us health care system works or doesn't work . and it's also shed light on the huge role that these insurance companies play and some of the start injuries studies that they use to avoid paying claims. so there's a lot of frustration and in fact, a lot of people seem to support. and the things that the suspect has done,
5:10 am
or at least it seems so online where people are more honest or more brutal. a lot of people have a set things or trying to shed light on the fact that look, there's so many lives lost because of these insurance companies and the roles that they play. why we're not talking about that, because we have to imagine here in the us, a lot of people don't have health insurance at all. and even if they do, it doesn't mean it's particularly good. because even people who have health insurance might end up paying huge amounts of money, or they might not get the medical procedures that they need. because these housing insurance companies might not authorize the procedures even if doctors recommend them. so we also tried talking to people here in dc and see their reactions after this murder case denied the pose and defend 3 words written on the bullets that killed bryan thompson. the ceo of one of the largest health insurance companies in
5:11 am
the us. these words have been used by critics to describe how to health insurance industry avoids pain claims. many real quick to connect to ceo's murder with the excesses office industry. although the investigation is still ongoing to be on the internet, the murder has sparked a greater debate about the failures of the us health care system. the actual incident in new york, i served as a, as a trigger for a lot of people to express their frustrations and real grievances about how the system works, or really how it doesn't work. i think this is just an adverb, a more market on trying to people. so issues with their own hands for not only for health care, but for race, for sexism and everything else. so obviously sad when anyone passes away, but i think the reaction of the american public and how callous and that response has been should tell people something about the health care crisis in the united
5:12 am
states. pretty shocking. but and i'll kind of assign of the times, i suppose, a tragic for him in his family, but uh maybe don't do terrible things like this. i'm not saying you deserve it. yeah. but what is it about the health care system? exactly. that makes people so angry, you can face paying thousands and thousands of dollars out of your own pocket to use medical care, even if you have health insurance. and then another type of limit is that health insurance in the united states often use what it's called pre authorization. the doctors and hospitals cannot simply provide the medical care that they want to. they have to get permission from the insurers. and sometimes the insurers deny that emissions, while the hand for thompson's killer goes on, the public reaction has highlighted that for many americans, the world's most complex and expensive health care system simply isn't what
5:13 am
we still with lawrenceville. okay. and washington bureau, a lot of strong reactions bundled into that report. laura, a wonder could this case actually trigger any changes when it comes to health care and us that's also one of the questions. we are the expert that we just saw on this piece because this seems to be a lot of momentum right now. a lot of people seem very fed up with the system, but the expert we spoke to so that he doesn't really think so because actually we have talked about the flaws of the us health care system for over a century. and not a lot has changed. it has been some changes has been obama care. so the affordable care act. but he told us that there are a lot of structural issues in this country that would need to be tackled. if you look at the u. s, which is rich democracy as, as germany, for instance, the u. s. has a very different health care system. it's very fragmented. so there's
5:14 am
a lot of these health insurance companies that play a big role. but it also means that it's not very regulated. there's the division of responsibility between the state and the federal level. and so that means it's fragmented. it's not very much regulated. and that also affects that. and the cost is not controlled in a, in a centralized way in washington dc lawrenceville. okay, thanks so much. all right, let's get you a quick reminder about top story before we got the theory and read the latest have met with the feeling prime minister in damascus by c in the countries parliament side. they have ready to help with the transfer of power. the rebel grids that laid the final offensive to toppled by shot, a sign to trying to present a more moderate public in andrew, out to date up next. the documentary on housing. bob boys economy relies on the support citizen, so it's integrated approve. and that story coming up in just
