das year an hour for founder of steve jobs released by the f.b.i. includes allegations of drug use and former friends describing him as deceptive and not honest the previously classified files were put together when jobs was being considered for a sensitive job as a trade consultant to president george w. bush the computing pioneer who died in a toll were after a long struggle with cancer had also received bomb threats according to report. and israeli citizenship law is denying thousands of palestinians the right to permanently sell down with their israeli spouses and children the government says the law was designed for security reasons but as far as they are now reports it seems the battle against terror could be doing more harm than good tearing families apart this is the document that's ruining londres life it makes no mention of a university degree one husband or two children it simply states she's palestinian and therefore illegal and wanted in israel.

just to breathe and eat and drink and for me it's not the law. but a lot of chooses the nonlife because it's where her husband and children live by law they're israeli whereas the rest of her family live across the border in janine palestine. during. what. i have to walk. until now known as move between the two worlds with temporary visas issued by television but she's afraid they could stop as a government tightens its grip on an eight year old law denying permanent citizenship to palestinians married to israelis it's trying to limit the graphic. growth of the arab citizens encourage. citizens who marry palestinians from the

west bank in gaza or from jordan to actually immigrate to actually leave israel israel says the law is for security purposes and it's trying to prevent palestinians from taking advantage of being able to get an israeli id through marriage and then carry out attacks on israeli citizens but human rights groups don't buy that they petitioned the law arguing that in the last fourteen years more than one hundred fifty thousand palestinians entered israel because of family ties with israelis only fifty four of them were ever found to be a security risk. in upholding the so-called citizenship law the israeli supreme court president said it was one of the most difficult questions in the state's history the battle against terror while at the same time maintaining the nation's democratic nature we are talking about thousands of family that as a result of the decision of the supreme court that validated upheld the law they are now living under the can dribble threat of being forcibly separated from their

spouses from their children from their parents so we are indeed talking about a huge issue with a huge effect on thousands of people this law is thinking about it. i mean one of. degrees before having your very pure jewish state but in the meantime it threatens to tear families apart as lawn interests in now face the very real danger that they might not be able to continue living together. israel. while when the winter comes to town moscow can look like a fairy tale city albeit a cold one so our moscow team went to try some winter seem to timothy's on the outskirts of the russian capital from magical forests and hosking dogs to snowplows and tiny villages here's a preview. of

what. the last count is coming our way thanks to our hero t. but let's now cross to the business desk for the latest financial news with kareena . for him in his past one pm here in moscow hello and welcome to business russia second

largest lender will buy shares from its minority shareholders at a price they paid during its i.p.o. in two thousand and seven the stocks were floated at thirteen cope expressed share and as you can see it has never risen about the listing price carvey the stocks are trading at around half the price they were initially sold on the market to buy back across the banks around six hundred million dollars will be implemented in the next three months ahead of me and the question of the buyback is a one off event. but saw we live in a time characterized by deep and prolonged financial crisis the instruments that work for decades of failing today otherwise the germans would not be rescuing the greeks the e.c.b. would not be giving interest free loans of course such moves cannot be the every investor must understand he's responsible for the shares he bought but in russia this was one of the first ship placements and back in two thousand and seven none

of us really understood the world was heading towards a global recession what. so even though some people are happy they will get their money back it may result in further problems down the line and the share buyback applies only to small shareholders like the american cause q from north capitol says that this could pave the way for conflict and lawsuits. this initiative creates were all this student to arbitrage opportunities which are not qualified as a purely market and bonus practices when you see the same thing costing different amount of money you can buy cheaply somewhere and sell it more expensive somewhere else if the certain category of shareholders are granted approval which it must be explicitly explained why the other category of shareholders are not

despite those fears that he says they have taken into account all legal risks everything will be carried out in full accordance with the law what's more some experts seem to be unfazed by the move business r.t. spoke to the international rating agency standard and poor's and they believe the buyback will not affect the bank's credit profile in the long term it's not really into going to the strategy of the bank itself and you wouldn't expect this to happen again in this this really is not something that the next much of a difference from the way we started poorest look at the institution and look at its credit profile or potential performance of the future. we'll bring you the latest on this story as we get them meanwhile let's check on the markets most european stocks are lower but you finance ministers held back a rescue package for greece the european central bank has kept its key interest rate record low one percent in a move to stave off possible government default and bank failures the footsies down

me in about fifteen minutes for more here on business r.t. . from los angeles to chicago to birmingham twenty trauma centers have closed since two thousand severe problem is not enough inpatient beds not enough earth emergency department beds and not enough nurses to man those that take care of all the people who are here the only real health care system that we have in the city of los angeles is the los angeles fire department in fact when i started my venture is

a firefighter i didn't want to be a mask i started out going to just do fire fighting it's about eighty two percent of what we do the far the problem is medical but they had a rescue couple weeks ago waited four hours for big i've waited sometimes three hours but i wouldn't say same francis in lynnwood for four hours and fifty minutes standing against a wall with patients and we have a federal law that mandates that you can't turn no one away who seeks care in an emergency room. we have the most expensive health care system in the world and it's probably valued the least. more news today violence is once again flared up. these are the images the world

has been seeing from the streets of canada. giant corporations are old today. with r.t. live from moscow these are the top stories syrian state media reports several blast in the country second biggest city aleppo have killed at least eleven people and the government is blaming wat it calls terrorists it comes as american gathers a coalition of nations to help bring down the syrian regime indirectly. greek labor union stage a two day strike in response to the latest wave of us to ready cuts which they say is pushing workers and the economy for the financial abyss the measures were a crucial step toward securing

a desperately needed one hundred thirty billion euro bailout package. a group of public figures from russia's civil society gather widespread support on their request to keep the presidential elections fair and transparent after succeeding in establishing ties with both the authorities and the opposition they are planning to monitor the vote in march. of next step the second parts have a special report on the american paramedics known as doctors in a box who treat everything from heart attacks to stomach aches. the orange dots show hospitals that are no longer here in the green dots represent those bills that are still in existence here what you don't see is in the new because there are no new hospitals constructed to do so. if you look at this area from a health planning standpoint. the medical desert is from. there

to me try to get the medical records. security that is closed i couldn't believe it was close there when i went in the security guard told me that. they basically doing years. and i was shocked came believe that this is what's going on now you know it was a great hospital this is the last house but i was in in two thousand to when i got shot. it was a sunday afternoon around twelve o'clock in just two cars came in and it was a big show it out and i just happened to roll by and i caught a bullet in my spine i came to my legs i'm paralyzed you know if it wasn't for the people that were here i don't think i would have made it the way i made it because that was a little kid i was seventeen years old when this happened to me i go to school and i go to college you know and if it wasn't for them i went forward i even drive now

i do everything i'm independent and it's for these people and they can help nobody else you know and somebody might not get that opportunity i got to write this case in chief mccurdy the middle said that we're luther king is going to be a complete closure but the capacity is going to change from one hundred forty some beds to actually forty two beds to friends to be around pretty quickly so we're going to go into schools. with hospitals and challenge windows don't the school is a challenge because we're going to be around. the professionals. don't you gauge don't get angry when i hear that you do need to do it. right and your question. the community had a big name for ok and everybody knows it's called killer king we would get. in first thing people would ask is where am i going to be transported and if we said

martin luther king you know often the response was please don't take medicaid. they're understaffed and underfunded and they had too many patients and didn't have private physicians and with four or five hundred patients in emergency rooms very difficult to treat those into the hospital through medical center is in critical condition and the cantor was in the bottom two and a half percent of all hospitals in the state of california health officials a patient there had been put in quote and media jeopardy patients and martin luther king medical center to get ready for fewer services and a new way we cannot assure that patients would be safe or that fundamental hospital standards can be met the proposed closure of the trauma center will have an impact the l.a. county fire department i'm begging of you don't ignore this. don't marginalize this . warrant i promise.

you anything like we have to suggest. we used to be a very simple system that we have you took the every patient the closest facility but you close ten hospitals with eight beds at a major eighty patients out of our system in the city she didn't look well when she came in sat scores we close our doors here we are close to saturation when our waiting room is for when are all of our in our beds or for angelus lines waiting in the hallway and we're. basically closing to saturation for safety purposes you know the sort of suppress right so diversion is a huge thing for some of our hospitals down here they're on diversion about ninety percent of the time so ninety percent of the time we're looking for another

hospital and we could be across the street from that hospital thinking a payment was not where you go with them let them do it because you're going to tell things he said. frank harbor u.c.l.a. by saturday for say fast is a sad i miss we're going to kaiser bellflower because done up on the plate for a hospital it's about a ten mile ride however we are in l.a. and there's a lot of traffic so. they're

going to. hear. they're getting. better they are not. going for the average american who has insurance they don't realize the impact of what's going on. let's call it on the obviously they think it's a problem of the uninsured of someone else he's got a worst national injury actually just put it in there and spread all this way under here and you see something is interfering with the not ok ok so when you do this you can tell that it's not in attendance which is a really really bad infection. if it gets really good intended going to bone in his bone infection the worst soon are you can you know usually armed it's really bad we're going to prevent that it's really going to be feel good but none of us are

going to. be in the hospital says two o'clock and not just what is it six o'clock right now sixteen. if you have insurance just a good thing you know finally have insurance ok magister we standing aside we did say we're waiting six hours is not uncommon and if you go to surrounding hospitals people coming here tell me they're waiting twelve hours sometimes to get back however u.c.l.a. right now at this moment it's a twenty four hours meaning as soon as you walk in the door and they try and figure out you're not critical basically you're someone and they can definitely live for another couple of days before being critical they'll keep you in the waiting room and you have to sit there and wait to be seen. it has happened at certain hospitals i've gone and they actually did all the team itself again and we just waited so we're missing calls in our district because our he's tied up at the hospital because they don't have a bed to put that patient in with the lady in the hospital that's that's normal

i've had to rescue a couple weeks and waited four hours for being i've waited sometimes three hours i was it's a same francis only way for four hours and fifty minutes standing against a wall with a patient if they don't have bad you're going to wait and because even though we're inside there you know we're still on scene with that patient if we if we leave the hospital don't transfer care to a bed is negligence or even the county can say you know what there goes your paramedic license and you're gone. the river here if we don't have a paramedic i said we go back to the firefighter only. so how many calls to get last night four calls after midnight three out of the four calls we had were people just basic cold and flu symptoms sniffle. sniffles and nausea vomiting diarrhea and sick for three four days. and just said uncle. smoke anything at all

that we did. when the fire broke for twenty eight years and i came on as a single function firefighter when i came on the job. and back then we actually respond by four or five different types of v.m.s. calls responded on chest pains heart attacks car accidents and drownings and if you called with a spring from or a broken finger the dispatcher back then told you to get the car to go to the hospital so a lot has changed. take probably. be on you for what's going on today think think how to run plan exactly how do you know. your are going on you know what happens. when are you really this. oh ok. tough being an enemy. is easy and you've been here before you have been here a few times you asked me five or six times over the last year found a mom to be a mother

a grandmother the son and the twins and her when she was pregnant with their material youngest and they have two houses this one another one down because i. don't hickory earlier that day oh you know i don't remember the one time. i think every time i guess. you can say he would feel secure a pretty horrendous yes six total rodent sisters oh yeah hey ho that everything's looking ok all right you can relax ok else we can do i mean good it could be good then. i will see going to later have a good day. a good station i think huge part i mean everybody's understanding what emergency is different but i mean people been called out for a bandaid thinking that all we are is you know a system that they can call and literally commit to a couple band-aids and i mean. look at the way it's called one hundred three that. these are some of the programs that we do send to we have things such as boyle's

can't sleep they're hungry constipation to think but if somebody says they're hungry what do you tell what are we have to do is i'm given five dollars keep a local calls. we've been called to you know broken sprinklers on the lawn to a dog and need the chimney you know second of all and what is old and had to cause god always makes it all fun at the same time it's like. where do you draw the line yeah you're always going to have the percentage of people who actually know the system and it would jury people that's not with him right now they're down i want because i truly need somebody to tell me what to do because this is their first emerged today it had to deal like we have a transportation policy on the farm and we offer transportation to everybody on this it's a minor extremity injury since we've had that system which is in about the last five years because lawsuits down to nothing it's paid for itself. at the

expense. to the taxpayers is the expense of the individual who wants the right at the expense of the the ripple effect of filling the spittal beds. with non-critical patients. i know gas prices are high but. i know i can get to the local emergency room for a lot cheaper in my own personal vehicle if i have the flu and the insurance company will look at that and say well what were paramedics really wanted on this and then they will pay and then the citizens get stuck with a bill. i really do believe that every patient should pay something for their care because one of the problems we also have in this country is that health care is not valued we have the most expensive health care system in the world and it's probably valued the least people are going to have to begin to take

responsibility for their health care. pay something they can start small. perhaps a five dollar co-pay for an emergency visit. i think it will change behavior as well something happen be done the question is what. here we've closed hospitals in the last ten years and over a thousand donal's harvey burger king they contribute to the high blood pressure diabetes and everything else in the sense i mean if you could tax cigarettes. and we searched. for restaurants pay for some of the stuff.

we've got a boat now. he's a diabetic or whatever it takes two days or whatever he has said no he never wants to. take off and let me have a look at him every for sure if he says no we can't force him out and talk to him and not then we can then yes that he had this i know. we need so anyway this is all we need his permission to let my medics. know he's agreed to let. you know he doesn't want to force her out of the you know. he's a great weren't taken aback. ok then you're welcome. i know you do you know what the best for him he'll have to go get a check and start to go searching teary. all that stuff right you know

he has no complaints he feels fine he's answering all or pushed questions appropriately. please let me finish and it should. there's world three it's within normal limits right there we're going to take his blood pressure after after that if there's nothing that he wants from us but unfortunately there's nothing else that we can do for him by law ok i'm yeah we do get frustrated and it's only us but it's the nurses and the hospitals it's also the doctors i've seen them just for you know like why i see this person every day for a last ten days why are they here again you know when you see a patient i got a response going up there are a hospice it. mostly human spirit seeking attachments in a six nine three. i did start to get to a lot of. personnel down here and i'm pretty sure it's. seven california is not. the only area where it's happening now firefighters coming from different

states who want to apply to have a city and the paramedics are experiencing the same thing i had a guy from houston last week you know paramedic burnout talked about in his area. a guy from new york. paramedic paramedic. for greatness. in the field with the shield the shield is it still doesn't mean the other rescue at our station is available so they get the next cough which means we get the chance to take a shower and pressure teeth so we don't get our showers interrupted jimmy page that . you know all these rescues here we're probably going to be waiting for a while because i think we just got the last available that that's i got that one i . want you to yeah. ok. we just take a patient to martin luther king with knowledge on vomiting which history.
