classic arcade game. instead of using a claw to pick up a stuffed animal, you pick up a beer. it's $2 a beer. that will do it for me. make it a great day. this the 12-hour cease-fire in gaza being extended for four hours. it was expended to expire at 1:00 p.m. eastern, 8:00 p.m. in gaza. the new deadline is midnight their time, giving the two sides until the end of the day to agree on another extension or long-term plan. the bloody conflict between israel and hamas started nearly three weeks ago, and it has left nearly 1,000 people killed. we'll have fox team coverage on this developing story. but we begin in libya where the u.s. is telling americans to get out. amid a deteriorating security situation in the capital
10:01 am
tripoli. i'm kelley wright. welcome "america's news headquarters". >> the state department ordering a temporary relocation of american staffers because of ask a lighting rivals between militias. according to secretary of state john kerry it presents a real risk to u.s. personnel. leland? molly thshgs is one of those situations where the u.s. want to get its people out while they could still safely rather than fighting their way out later, as it possibly would have been. a convict leoy left the embassy dawn. they drove from tripoli west to tunisia. in all, there were about 70 diplomats at the compound and 80 marines providing security on the way out. tripoli itself has been the scene of increasing chaos and violence over the past few days, essentially it was a lawless city with warring militias on both sides and recent attacks on
10:02 am
the airport made driving out the very best option. a defense source tells fox news the pentagon had been saying for a while that it was time to go get out tripoli. finally the state department agreed, did the president. evidently the ambassador and some staff will remain in the region. but there are no plans to return to tripoli from what we hear anytime soon. >> so many people died and gave so much effort to the birth of the new libya, and we're very, very hopeful that together all those people will recognize that the current course of violence will only bring chaos and possibly longer term difficulties. >> now, obviously the evacuation has to be looked at with memo memories of benghazi where four were killed including the ambassador. the state department didn't want another attack. the iranian hostage crisis in
10:03 am
the 1970s makes them crime targets. this broke early morning eastern time but early noon in north africa. it took six hours to 0 get the americans outs. the state department just issued a travel wash warning urging all americans to leave the country immediately as they are in grave danger due to the security situation. molly? >> leland, thank you. a fox news alert. a humanitarian cease-fire now extended for four more hours between israel and hamas. the offensive began nearly three weeks ago aimed at stopping rocket attacks and destroying underground tunnels. secretary of state john kerry is holding a new round of cease-fire talks with other top diplomats in paris trying to hammer out a longer term deal. we are live in washington with the latest on that. >> a longer term deal, secretary kerry says it allows the palestinians to, quote, live with dignity and allows israel to live, quote, free from
10:04 am
rockets being fired into their country. secretary kerry is in paris with foreign ministers from seven nations including turkey and qat qatar. qatar officials are in touch with leaders of hamas. both sides have important considerations in negotiating such a deal, says john kerry. >> each side has powerful feelings about the history and why they are where they are. what we're going to work out is, how do we break through that so needs are are met and we have an ability to provide security for israel and a future, economic and social and other development, for the palestinians. >> one former israeli official says even if israel agrees to a longer term cease-fire, it will come with a definite condition. >> i believe that the main condition for israel to extend the cease-fire further than the next four hours will be to allow it to continue its mission to destroy those tunnels and at the
10:05 am
same time diminish hamas' rocket launching capability. and then we can go to the next stage, which i think could be the demilitarizationing of gaza. >> one palestinian says israel doesn't need to attack to achieve that goal. >> that can be destroyed without war, by making peace. i don't think any country wants anybody to attack it, but that applies to both sides. the root of this problem has been the israeli military occupation which has become the longest in history, 47 years military occupation. we are in the west bank. we have the israeli army controlling our life. >> secretary kerry has been in the region for most past week, shuttling between jerusalem, the west bank and egypt, trying to win support for a, quote, sustainable cease-fire. >> thank you so much.
10:06 am
while we're on the topic, thousands of gaza dents who fled the fighting returning to their homes during the humanitarian cease-fire. many are finding widespread destruction because of the attacks, this as israel's defense minister says the military might soon expand the ground operation significantly. we are live from israel's border with gaza. john, what can you tell us? >> reporter: well, kelly and molly, at this point we're getting reports that despite israel's security cabinet agreeing to extend the cease-fire until midnight, there is possibly mortar or rocket fire here along the border. that said, the cease-fire negotiations continue as we have seen, as you mentioned, the destruction on the ground cross the border in particular in the northeastern part of gaza, in the distance behind me.
10:07 am
as you saw, people are starting to get into those hard-hit areas. there has been intense fighting over the now 19 days of fighting. the cease-fire allows people to get back into what's left of their homes to salvage what they can and also allowing relief workers to get into hard-hit areas to start recovering bodies. at this point, the latest number we've received is 151 bodies have been recovered in gaza. israel's primary objective prosecute are from day one of operation protective edge, that remain remains the case as you mentioned, kelly, is to root out and destroy hamas' extensive network of tunnels, many of which lead into israel. we've seen hamas militant ambush israeli soldiers here on the boerd. that remains a primary goal for the israeli military and ground forces. that said, let's talk about the latest death toll numbers. 40 israeli soldiers have, according to military officials,
10:08 am
been killed in the fighting, three israeli civilians have been killed during the 19 days. in gaza now, more than 1,000 people have been killed, according to officials on the ground there, and more than 5,000 have been wounded. and again, despite the ongoing cease-fire negotiations, kelly and molly, we're hearing reports of possible rocket or mortar fire here along the border. kelly? >> that shows how fluid the situation is. john, thanks for the update from israel. molly? experts from the united nations finding a second black box in northern mali just two days after the crash of an air algerie plane carrying 118 people. the u.n. specialists say they hope the black boxes will help in finding out what caused that plane to go down. earlier, french president francois hollande met with families of the victims. he said it's still too soon to rule out terrorism, adding that the crash was most likely weather related. nearly half the victims were french. what two americans f-16s
10:09 am
escorted a panama flight from canada when a man got unruly and threatened the aircraft. so this is the scene after the plane landed in toronto with police storming onboard and arrested a 25-year-old suspect who was apparently upset, get this, over the price of cigarettes. >> she complained, sir, i'm not charging your cigarettes. i don't make the taxes and all that stuff. so what happened was he said, well, you know, i hate canada. i just want to bomb canada. >> police say he has been charged with uttering threats and endangering the safety of an aircraft over a pack of cigarettes. >> can you imagine? how scary would that be? hands up, heads down? terri terrifying. this is an extreme weather alert. wildfires all along the west are continuing to burn. people in northern california are being forced from their
10:10 am
homes as a fast moving wildfire gets closer. so far, the flames have burned down at least two buildings and have now spread to about 1300 acres. in washington state, fire officials say a massive wildfire has claimed more than 300 homes and killed hundreds of live stock. and some relief in utah, orders of salt lake city are finally being lifted. janice dean is live in the fox weather center with all the details. >> the west has really been into an extreme drought situation, and we have a ridge of high pressure that hasn't budged. so this wildfire concern is going to continue through the weekend, even into early next week. dozens of wildfires are burning, very warm temperatures, and incredibly dry conditions as the drought here is excessive in a lot of these areas. there is your fire weather index. in a lot of the places molly just mentioned especially across california and the four corners region. the drought is extreme to exceptional for almost 50% of
10:11 am
the west. so this is going to be an ongoing situation throughout the summer. now, we do have a trough that's bringing cooler, drier weather and the potential for severe weather across portions of the midwest, the ohio river valley. we have a severe thunderstorm watch in effect for the areas you see shade nd yellow, a couple of severe weather warnings for nebraska. that's going to expand across the ohio river valley, the storm prediction center has given us a moderate risk for the areas shaded in red where we could see some strong tornadoes later on this afternoon. that is going to shift eastward across more populated regions of the ohio river valley, even up towards d.c. and new york city as this cold front moves through, the potential for hail, damaging winds, yes, even tornadoes on sunday. we have heat advisories for the central u.s. where it's going to feel anywhere from 100 to 105 with the humidity, very oppressive. people need to stay indoors. as i mentioned, cooler weather is on the way as we head into monday and tuesday, in some
10:12 am
cases 11 to 15 degrees cooler than average. so we'll wait for that and enjoy it hopefully across areas that are seeing a lot of heat. back to you. >> thank you, janice. the ukrainian military launching a major offensive against pro raugs separatists hoping to recapture a key eastern city. the very latest on the crisis coming up. israel may expand its ground are operations significantly in gaza. what are the military goals? we go in depth. plus, president obama reportedly getting ready to take new measures in the border crisis. will they make any difference at all? our panel debates. >> in addition to being a nation of immigrants we're also a nation of laws. and if you have a disorderly and dangerous process of migration, that not only puts the children themselves at risk, but it also calls to question the legal immigration process.
10:13 am
10:14 am
10:16 am
10:17 am
children without a proper claim to stay will be returned to their countries. joining me, janine burrelly and chris kofinis a former chief of staff. thank you for being today, this pretty tough topic. let's start with, as this group of leaders from central america comes forward to the white house speaking with the president, he had been previously criticized for not going to the border in texas and getting a fist hand look. we're seeing the leaders involved in this crisis meeting, but how meaningful was it? >> how tha is a good question. was it another fophoto op? this is a human tragedy, don't get me wrong. but with president obama being the operator of chief in our country, his first priority should be to protect our borders. his 2012 executive action basically opened up our borders sfra as far as i'm concerned. people in those countries are
10:18 am
under the impression they can come here and they will be granted legal status, they will be granted amnesty. we're sending the wrong message. we need to seal our bordeds and we need to change the 2012 executive action and another law. >> chris, i want to bring you in. the president of honduras after this meeting talked about ambiguity in u.s. laws being part of this problem and they all talk birthday the shared neutral responsibility. your thoughts on what he said. >> well, to be honest, i think this is something that's been going on, clearly this has been a problem for decades. this is not a new phenomenon. the crisis at the border, it has obviously exploded in particular in the last year or so. but we've had a failure amongst the republicans, i would say, to be willing to sit down with the president after -- even with repeated requests to figure out a compromise deal. the senate passed an immigration
10:19 am
measure. the house has not. the house clearly does not want to. so at some point when politics trumps all, you're not going to find a solution to a serious problem. now what you have i think at the border is a serious humanitarian crisis when you're talking about these unaccompanied children traveling far distances that we have to address, but you're not going to address it by simply blaming the president. that's an easy thing for republicans to do. >> daneen, he brings up an interesting point where he's talking about inaction. >> obama's inaction has resulted in the individuals coming across our borders. >> when you're talking about obama's actions, i was going to bring up executive actions. that's what's being promised. the white house announcing that possibly yet again another executive action could be taken. this time regarding legal immigrants across the country, not just the children streaming across the border. they're specifically talking about families that already have
10:20 am
children here. >> right. >> and the possibility of a major movement there. >> well, i think obama is doubling down on stupid. listen, we already know what the results are from his 2012 executive action. even the homeland security memo said that this was why we are witnessing the number of people who are coming across our border. we need to seal the borders, get the national guard out there. i think this is all political. obama's numbers are dropping. he's losing faith in his black base because they are complaining about obama. and what's going on at the border. i think is all politically driven. >> there is of course a midterm around the corner. we're all aware of that. chris, when we're talking about politics as an aspect in this, republicans have expressed a lot of frustration, democrats have expressed a lot of frustration. how do you move forward and what with would an executive action here mean politically? >> well, i think -- there's two different issues here. you have the immediate crisis at the border with all these unaccompanied children. the president made it very clear that these children are not going to be able to stay. there might be exceptions,
10:21 am
obviously for people who apply and are -- and are granted some type of refugee status but it isn't going to be an open door policy in that sense. but the bigger problem that the president and democrats have been talking about -- by the way, a lot of republicans, including, for example, senator graham who said a few days ago that if the republicans don't address this issue as well, they're not going to have a very good election in 2016. but the reality is, you have to sit down, both parties have to realize this is not a democrat problem, not a republican problem. this is something that we have to solve in a bipartisan fashion. >> stop the hemorrhaging. stop t seal the border. obama is basically rolling out the red carpet for folks to come across our boredorers, not in the proper way, not in the proper prospect. >> it's a silly rhetoric. >> that's why we're seeing so many come across our borders. >> with all respect, people
10:22 am
are -- >> they're talking about a tremendous amount of money involved in this and now a break for congress right around the corner. we'll see what happens with that beginning in august. thank you so much, chris kofi s kofinis, da neen burrelly, for talking about this continuing issue. appreciate it. >> thank you. >> thank you. well, the world can be a very harsh place to live, particularly for children who are trapped in poverty. there are many organizations that are dedicated to helping these children. one group is touching heart out of herndon, virginia. what makes this group so unique is its founder made it a place for young americans to take an active role in helping kids in need. the group believes charity begins at home and empowers kid cans to change the world beyond the dream. scattered throughout the world are millions of children in need. some need clean water. some need food and clothing, like shoes. others need parents to love, nurture and guide them throughout life.
10:23 am
sadly, millions of children suffer because they live without these basic necessities that makes life livable and their dreams achievable. from her suburban home near the nation's capital, helen yee felt the need to reach out and touch the hearts of children crying for help. >> i felt like my passion was to help kids, help kids and teach them the importance of helping others and knowing that they can make a difference. >> what helen did nexxt to answer the call in her life was dramatic. she walked away from a successful career as an i.t. executive in corporate america to launch touching heart, an organization that teaches kids the art of giving and the joy of becoming their brother's keeper. >> touching heart's mission is to inspire kids to have a giving heart. you want to instill compassion and empathy in them at a young age so that they can grow up to be a compassionate leader. we believe that if they do that,
10:24 am
they feel that joy that you get when you're giving and helping, it will stay with them into adulthood. >> the children who work with helen are incredibly aware of their mission. they learn how to organize and launch their own charitable events. from the money earned, they have literally helped thousands of children who are orphans or living in foster care. >> well, i really think it's empowering. it makes you realize that you have so much comfort, like you get to live with your family. there's a lot of people who don't get to have that. and so i think it's great that you get to see other people -- through other people's eyes and help them out. >> i want to give more to those who don't have a lot so it just sort of makes you feel good once you have done something for kids who have less than you. it just makes you feel really, really like proud. >> through touching heart, helen and her army of kids are bringing some comfort to
10:25 am
children in mohs embeak and kenya providing beds and shoes. helen says each time she helps her child she is reminded of her grandmother's legacy. >> my grandmother started an orphanage long ago after the korean war. she started it with a couple of kits. over time she had over 100 kids many her care. she started four schools to educate them. >> now helen is passing the torch to children in america. mentoring and teaching students from 8 to 16 on how to change the world by touching the hearts of others in need. >> if you think about it, if you got all the kids kind of awareness of this compassion, i mean, you're raising compassionate leaders so when they become leaders they can attacking human trafficking, attack homeless shelters, attack all of these issues that we have, and the world will be a better place.
10:26 am
so that's my hope. >> of course, the footnote is to add is that helen learned to launch touching heart with her oldest daughter taylor who at the tender age of 13 wanted to give kids a chance to make a difference. we couldn't talk to taylor because she's older and now is on a missions trip to help the poor in the dominican republic. >> to see that being passed down in her own family general are rai -- generation to generation. a pro wrestler making headlines after putting on a show in his own home we'll tell you why police is cheering for him. a 12-hour cease-fire being extended by four hours. we'll talk about the ongoing conflict between israel and hamas.

time for the top of the news. the state department pulling americans out of the u.s. embassy in libya. it's being done as a result of escalating violence between rival militias. american travelers are being urged to steer clear of libya. it's just the second time in three years that the embassy has been shut down. police in philadelphia are searching for two men who may be responsible for killing three siblings and critically injuring their mother just after they held her at gun point and demanded her car. cops say the two men then plowed into a group of kids and adults selling fruit to raise money for their church. philly police are offering more than $100,000 reward for their capture. and a suspected burglar in arizona is probably regretting his choice of houses this morning. pro wrestling star daniel brian catching a burglar in his home. he was celebrating his big win when he saw two burglary suspects running out of his

10:33 am
verify, that appears to show russia shooting across the border into ukraine. foreign ministers from seven nations including secretary of state john kerry meeting in paris to discuss a long-term cease-fire between israel and hamas. but on the edge of gaza israeli soldiers are regrouping as country's defense minister says the military may expand the ground operation significantly. retired navy captain chuck nash is joining mess. captain, good of you to join us today. >> nice to be with you. >> it's a very dire situation there right now. we've seen 1,000 lives so far lost on the palestinian side and 40 israeli troops as well as some civilians. where do you see this cease-fire going, particularly in light of the fact that john huddy just reported there's still more ar fire being fired? >> there is just kicking the can down the road a little bit
10:34 am
looking for a silver lining in a very dark cloud. the fact of the matter is, from a military situation, it is in israel's best interest to crush hamas to within an inch of their life but not totally destroy them. that sounds odd, but there's a political ramification should they do that. and they need to keep the pressure up right now if the international community has not been able to solve this problem in the last 40-plus years they're not going to solve it in the next four hours. we have to just look at this for what it is, which is a chance for hamas to resupply, reposition their positions and supplies and be ready for the next round. the israelis are doing the same thing. only this time instead of listening to the international community, i think it's in israel's best interest to take hamas within an inch of their life. >> a week ago on sunday, we spoke with benjamin ne netanyah who said he would continue to keep this open ended as a
10:35 am
military operation to make sure they root out the tunnels and hamas to make sure that the people living in israel could live in peace. >> yes. because that's really what they need to do. here's the political dimension of this. that is that you've got hamas controlling gaza and you've got fatah controlling the west bank. should hamas being totally destroyed and fatah take over gaza, then you have the same party ruling both places and you really have the political pressure put on now to unify and have a two-state solution, which everybody likes to talk about but is totally impractical and would cause even more problems because there could be unmet expectations in that should they try to implement it. therefore, you need to have almost a divided palestinians divided. what israel can't face, though, is the constant military threat from hamas. so hamas needs to come up with a plan b. they do not know how to govern.
10:36 am
gaza is a disaster. and it's not because of anything that israel's done. it's because hamas is essentially a mafia trying to control something as opposed to trying to actually govern a society. >> you know, one of the things that's kept under wraps here and it's been alluded to before is iran's factoring into this, because hamas initially has always taken its orders from iran. do they play a role in this? >> absolutely. that's where all the weapons, especially the more modern weapons that they're using this time around, are coming from. th it comes from iran, it comes from syria. a lot are chinese knockoffs but are produced in syria or iran and shipped into the gaza. and during the previous administration in egypt, that adele five corridor was wide open and they were smuggling in. since genesral sa sassisi taken
10:37 am
over in egypt, that has changed. they were so failing in their ability to administer gaza, that hamas had to come up with some other reason, some distraction so they pulled the pin on their own grenade. >> what do you say to the argument by many palestinians that say they have been living for the past four decades under military occupation by israel and they would like to be free from that? >> that's interesting because if they looked at their fellow arabs who are living in the state of israel, they're doing just fine. the people who are really suffering are the ones who have been living under the thug ok rascy tip can cal of a pal st stinian-led main, whether the folks in west bank or gaza, all they have to do is just look around at their israeli arab
10:38 am
brethren and they see a whole different standard of living. >> for the foreseeable future, there's no light at the end of the tunnel. we'll see what happens after the four-hour cease-fire. >> because there's no solution, kelly, that's why they have to be involved in the process. and when the united states pulls everybody to the table and sets up a new round of talks like we did recently and they come away with unmet expectations because there is no solution, you wind up with what we have now. >> a quagmire. thank you very much, sir. >> you bet. >> captain chuck nash. north creigh firing a short range ballistic missile. according to south rhea, it was fired into waters off the coast, just a latest in a series of missile launches in recent weeks. this shows that kim jong-un, the leader of north korea, is more belligerent than his father who rarely fired missiles and instead focused on negotiating. we are now learning more

president obama continuing to push for economic patriotism. he hammers u.s. companies for moving overseas to avoid taxes and also urges congress to close the loopholes that are making it all possible. >> corporate profits are as high as ever. a small but growing group of big corporations are fleeing the country to get out of paying taxes. they're keeping most of their business inside the united states, but they're basically renouncing their citizenship and declaring that they're based some place else just to avoid paying their fair share. that's why, in my budget earlier this year, i proposed closing this unpatriotic tax loophole for good. >> the founder of help save my dollars.com is here to talk about that. let's start with just, what is this? how does it work? it's called inversion. how does it work and why do we see companies do this? >> it's when a company buys another company in a foreign country, reincorporate it there
10:45 am
and take advantage of that country's lower tax rates. we're seeing a lot of u.s. companies buy companies in ireland, which has a 12.5% corporate tax rate compared to 35% in the u.s. so they're saving a ton of money. inversions are controversial because the are country in the foreign country may only have a few hundred employees where in the u.s. it may have tens of thousands of employees. we're seeing a lot of inversions in the pharmaceutical space because these companies have profits overseas they want to protect from high u.s. taxes. >> when you hear 12.5%, does some of this stem from just our tax rate being higher? >> our tax rate is higher and there's a lot of debate over, do we need more extensive tax reform? there have been about 50 inversions over the past decade, but if companies are saving hundreds of millions of dollars per deal, someone has to step in and pay those taxes and a lot of that is coming from small businesses. with these inversions we're putting pressure on small businesses who already have tremendous burdens when it comes to the economy and even
10:46 am
obamacare, set to take effect for employers in about six months. you know, you can make the argument that if you're a company here in the u.s. and you're benefitting from that, you've got to pay for it, not just run overseas to dodge u.s. taxes. >> the argument being made here is, it's loyalty. mark cuban talked about this, the billionaire dallas mavericks owner tweeting out saying, if i own stock in your company and you move offshore for tax reasons, i'm selling your stock. there are enough investment choices here. is this something that could actually work? are americans paying enough attention to where they're buying things and where companies are based and if they're based in america, that this could be a strategy that the american people could join in on? >> it could be. there are so many economic pressures on main street that for people to start thinking about what these major companies are do 0ing, i don't think americans are real this in. but when you look at a guy like mark cuban who owns the dallas mavericks and who is a well-known businessman, he's trying to get a market's response to this because he doesn't think congress will have

the ability to prevent this. >> is this something that democrats and republicans and the president could all actually come together on? >> well, look, a lot of republicans are saying, if we have companies no longer doing inversions, that's going to limit their nability to compete overseas. if their competitors are paying lower taxes they have more money to invest in their company rather than u.s. company. that will limit their ability to be competitive. other politicians are saying, look, this will take away from the momentum when it comes to overall tax reform. that's the bigger issue. when you look at inversions, the joint committee on taxation says if we curb inversions that will save $20 billion in taxes over the next decade. that's a big number. but when you think about how big tax reform is, this is just a drop in the bucket. >> thank you so much, scott, giving us insight into this. it will be interesting to see what happens with legislation, if there will be meaningful legislation. >> thanks, molly. so do you ever experience back pain? a lot of people do.

welcome back. about two-thirds of adults say they experience back pain sometime during their lives, and most take a pain reliever that is found in brands like tylenol and pan adoll. but a new study shows those medicines are no more helpful than swallowing a sugar pill. dr. manny alvarez is the senior mathing editor for fox news health.com and part of our team. the reason i say ouch is because i have a back pain right here. >> back pain affects millions upon millions of people. i think it's one of the most common pains that everybody has alongside let's say a headache. you know, look, pharmaceutical companies are not going to be happy with this, but this is something that a lot of doctors know. if you talk to doctors that deal with back pain, they'll tell you when you have either a pinched nerve or a sprained back muscle,
10:53 am
that is an intoflammatory pain d many times a typical tylenol will not do anything. and the fear is that everybody is sort of overutilizing a lot of these over-the-counter medicines, that people don't realize they could also have side effects. acetaminophen is not something you take every day chronically because it gets filtered through the liver and it could create a lot of problems for you. so if you're dealing with back pain you have to find a different strategy. >> how do you spell relief, then? >> look, i had a couple of surgeons come and did a segment for fox news.com talking about back pain. what can i do? well, really nothing. if you look at the way that they deal with back pain, they'll say, look, back problems tend to go away by themselves without any intervention, especially if you pay attention to your core. the muscles around your waist.
10:54 am
exercise. lose weight. physical therapy. acupuncture. all of those are magnificent. you get to the point of surgery when you really have a compressed nerve. then you may have to do a surgery. they have a lot of minimally invasive techniques, opening the vertebrae between the nerves so you get relieve. but at the end of the day, that's the only technical aspect to deal with back pain. >> you know what's so interesting about this, it's no more effective than a placebo. sometimes i admit i take a pill and i feel better. is that all in my head? >> it's partly in your head to a point. >> great. >> if you have a headache, tylenol works well. i'm not 0 saying it's not a pain reliever. but not for that kind of pain. people have to realize that aside from exercise and physical therapy you have to pay attention to 0 your shoes. i love your stilettos but if you wear them for a long period of time, especially with back pain, they'll make matters worse. pay attention to what you put on your feet and on your neck when you're sleeping.
10:55 am
beds and pillows are very important. people don't pay attention to those things. so there's a whole gamut of things that you can do without going for the pill. >> for the magic pill. >> be more proactive, exercise, make sure you're doing all the right things to take care of your back. and your core. >> right. your core. >> that strengthens your back. >> when you get back pain or you have chronic back pain, you say, where am i getting this from? try to find the source. is it something you're wearing, something you're not doing right, the way you're sitting, how long you sit in front of your computer. then deal 0 with the core issue, really focusing on exercises that tighten the abdominal muscles in conjunction with, of course, other kinds of physical therapy. >> well, i'm not giving up the heels so i better hit the gym. >> those cistilettos are hot. >> i guess i better keep working o out. >> doc, thank you. >> thank you.
