spittal be open to the patients. watson will broke in the south central area of los angeles county. what was put on the map not only in california but the but the mission of the world. in one thousand six hundred five because of the riots six days of rioting in a negro section of los angeles left behind scenes reminiscent of war torn city much of south central los angeles seem to be on fire up fire killing five point unemployment or education and things like the lack of health care and housing. the microphone commission said that the county must build a hospital. just think that we had a section of los angeles county. over a third of a million citizens without adequate hospital care when i transferred in m.l.k. morning mr king. true hospital was a your facility it was
8:49 am
a hospital it was a trauma hospital trauma it was open which was actually a pretty state of the art trauma and i believe we were saying to in fifty. maybe even closer to fifty five fifty seven thousand a year in the main which set apart a lot of times we would get the diabetic and coma who knew something was wrong but didn't have the means to go to the doctor's office. again that goes to the problem that there are no primary care facilities in that area. a few years ago the county last year said a lot of clinics are open people could go walk in off the street and see clinics in the county and a few bad budget years a few years ago they closed those clinics private clinics are going to open up and take under insured or patients who can't pay.
8:50 am
and you don't have papers yes you have papers just permission how was your sugar level it's one hundred twenty. no no it's four hundred that's very bad for your diabetes. you have an appointment with the pharmacy a week ago why didn't you go. i did go. this is this is a free clinic the medicine is free you see me for free so why didn't you come this costs money. a lot of the patients here and all comply and they don't want to structure their never raise with structure they want the school you know never stuck with a layer. covering it so check your sugar two to three times a week don't use more not every day this is very expensive cost to not have insurance but this is where the money needs to go because you can treat a primary care why in this diabetic you know failure heart attacks
8:51 am
a leg cut off you know because if they don't treat it we see them on the streets and then two years later he ends up at l.a. county hospital you've got to treat it as if it cost five hundred thousand dollars . if you miss your next appointment or any other appointment you can find a new clinic oh yes if i miss the appointment i can come back you know what end. primary care nationally is a problem and it is an especially a problem here in los angeles county where do you go for primary care physicians first of all the country is not training enough for them.
8:52 am
so we have a possible candidate for the program. mr mayor has been identified as so great when users have been to. at least six times within the one year period we want to thank you for also the care management part of it in order to maybe help her keep her out of that yard and having to come in ok. mrs romero my name is. i work with a program called road to health and to help the patient understand better how to use the medical system setting them out maybe. but if you are going to have
8:53 am
a caseworker who is going to communicate with you often then ok list them as though you were telling me how sometimes you have difficulty making appointments see ok so we are going to help you a little bit with that. i think oh my you know how can i help you know me and they didn't give me this mattson you do have to educate empower patients to learn how to access care correctly and at the same time you can't do that if the system is not set up to be accessible if you're educating the patient to go down a road where the bridge is out and there's a fork in the road there's three different ways to go and you know which way to go that's not going to be very helpful in our vision is to improve access to care we want to give people access to the right care at the right time at the right place and we need to incentivize financially our primary care providers our physicians this is your family medicine doctor that you go see for a cold but also the person who's most likely to diagnose you if you have cancer. and you know you have refills you know but they told me i shouldn't come back
8:54 am
without the prescription or the k. y. . and of course they wouldn't salad to me that's one thing we need to explain to the feature of the field. yes five years she's telling me that she gets it that i may be seen i'm going to take it on and off i must. be sure be sure going for wellness will get together later for a minor. first go to the same. kind of a good thing for the market and i don't think we had eight this year that we're. going to go there right now we are twenty eight. and her uterus leading ok you guys are doing much better you're just about reach but margery's goal of what he wanted to have been a last resource on scene within six minutes you guys are holding down seven minutes
8:55 am
flat however the best it's ever been was six point four zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero. zero zero zero zero zero zero zero the super messenger here this gives you the facts. i had a doctor call me from a hospital but we rescued get there of no and he called me one evening any tells me that they couldn't take any more patients and their emergency room so i asked him to explain exactly what he meant and he says we need to free our beds for our people and i said i was which people are your people the people that were bringing them from these lower income areas are paying they don't have insurance they got to get treated they got to be seen. you know paying you can't function as a hospital and that's why we've lost in the hospitals an area and. just over five years we've had a love emergency rooms close most cases entire hospitals. if

within the ranks of syria's opposition fighters at first they claim they were behind twin blasts in the country's largest city of aleppo which killed at least twenty five but another spokesman has denied responsibility just barely an hour later. greek default looms large lawmakers raced to secure more cash by trying to pass another round of massive cuts which send workers on strike and thousands on to the streets. and observing political change russia's public figures come together to ensure a fair and free presidential vote striving not to take sides.
9:01 am
twenty four hour news live from moscow this is our with me rory sushant we are getting conflicting reports over whether the free syrian army an armed wing of the opposition was behind the attacks in the city of aleppo an hour after one f.s.a. spokesman confirmed this another blamed the government the blasts have killed at least twenty five and injured more than one hundred and seventy journalist reports from syria. aleppo a northern city in syria has been relatively quiet since the anti-government protests took place and march the government claims it's fighting a foreign funded insurgency and as well as it blames terrorist groups for the several bombings that took place in damascus of last year the violence has
9:02 am
escalated in syria for the past week opposition forces claiming assad's forces are shelling on several areas including the city of homs activists are accusing the government of a massacre saying that hundreds of civilians here have been killed something that's hard to verify meanwhile the u.s. is setting an international coalition aimed at supporting rebels and their struggle these so-called group of friends of democratic syria will involve countries willing to proffer the opposition and pile more pressure on the regime although direct military action is has been ruled out some reports suggest the british are in concert responsible forces are already in the conflict zone there are now calls from washington to arm the opposition and as our teams merino portnoy i reports that the region has been flooded with weapons from the u.s. . at the united nations security council america holds one permanent seat but when
9:03 am
it comes to weapons the world's largest arms exporter is often seen as sitting on two chairs they say there isn't an international embargo on arms preventing them from doing that that is a fact but that doesn't change the immorality of supplying a dictatorial regime that is killing its people in massive numbers every day and we are are deeply concerned about that as u.s. officials continue publicly scolding countries over relations with syria critics say the accusations are being thrown from a tremendous glasshouse the us is a hugely difficult in this regard because they've long been the largest arms dealer and most of those weapons the us sold the story quickly more than four hundred billion dollars worth of since the one nine hundred sixty s. have gone to the middle east and you can't argue. seriously that it's made that
9:04 am
region any more stable in the past few years nearly fifty percent of u.s. weapons exports have been flowing to the middle east many countries with the biggest appetite for american weapons have also made headlines for carrying out brutal crackdowns against dissidents and opposition groups if you are are fog you're ok in france they are thugs you're not i mean this is for all of us who have been overseas the duplicity in apocrypha of american foreign policy is painfully. evident according to congressional figures america has sold one point four billion dollars worth of weapons to bahrain since two thousand and america struck its single biggest arms deal when saudi arabia ordered sixty billion dollars worth of arms the us has long subsidize the israeli military and recently supplied them with bunker buster bombs experts say this strategic arming of middle eastern. trees is
9:05 am
aimed at iran and extending u.s. dominance in the region with. that is going on. against your own it's not a you know human right. it's all about some geopolitical f.b.i. whistle blowers sibel edmonds has accused america of playing particularly dirty while leading a campaign for regime change in syria but it's not some kind of. simultaneously op rising situation where people are rebelling and then suddenly they are mysteriously arms and mysteriously arms are being smuggled into syria from turkey well who who is providing this arms nobody's asking in the u.s. media well these are u.s. arms shipped to turkey this as the u.s. military complex flush with record revenue continues to lobby its interests on capitol hill arms manufacturers are some of the biggest companies in america there

are some of the most powerful lockheed martin not only do they making so much for the defense department around the world there are federal contractors and many other levels there are going to vote in elections this statue outside the u.n. headquarters is a symbol of global peace and nonviolence but critics say the idea has been twisted by the u.s. which goes around advocating peace arming countless conflicts all for the sake of profit marina point ny r.t. new york. now according to chinese media we're getting reports that iran has sent fifteen thousand of its a little revolutionary guard troops to help maintain order in syria and let's discuss this further with professor saeed mohammad marandi from the university of tehran joining us live now from lebanon i thank you for coming on our to you today do you believe that iran would risk getting involved in a conflict in another country according to these reports from the chinese media. no definitely iran has no troops in the country iran has never had troops involved in
9:07 am
the problems within syria this is. basically western propaganda. someone in the chinese media has been receiving information that is completely false in general the information that is produced in syria and in the mainstream western media comes from sources that are highly questionable such as the syrian observatory for human rights which is based in london and it just for example the other day claimed that in syria. babies inc incubators in hospitals were were killed were murdered by the government and this is the second time they produced propaganda and reminds of one of what western the western media did in its turn before the war in iraq as if i may joe lieberman i do apologize for interrupting but you bring in the issue of propaganda here that these reports allegedly from the chinese media say that iran
9:08 am
has sent in twenty thousand revolutionary guards into syria but you say it's propaganda but many believe that the us wants a regime change in syria to weaken their own so i mean it's quite possible to imagine that iran must be interested in the survival of assad's regime. well definitely iran does support the syrian government and it supports reforms in the syrian political order according to polls carried out by the b.b.c. funded by the fact that he is the majority of syrians barkhad the syrian president they want him to remain in power even their own polls say that on the other hand iran is completely imposed opposed to foreign countries imposing their will on the syrian people we already see in the turks helping create civil war we see the dictatorship. in the persian gulf region funding civil war and violence in the country it is these countries that are that should be blamed for much of the
9:09 am
bloodshed in the country and the west of course supports them as well but the western propaganda machine. inverts reality in what they gave if they are so keen on democracy in the region they should the united states and its allies should call on all dictatorships to their leaders to step aside and to have elections that i'm going to write and say i'm going to say the president ahmadinejad he does support the assad regime ongoing in syria facing this pressure from the opposition but iran is now under severe international pressure over its nuclear program we've seen the west bearing down on even further in recent months do you think with iran's support of the syrian government could it could tear on really risk coming under even greater a backlash if it in some way does support the assad regime. well remember iran's position is based upon a moral principle and that is non interference of hedger monic powers and the non-a
9:10 am
ference of neighboring countries in the syrian internal affairs the syrian people have to make their own decisions and they don't need to be funded there are no there doesn't need to be any funding for weapons coming outside the country even in iraq before the united states invaded iraq and killed almost a million people directly or indirectly as a result the iranians opposed that war as well despite the fact that the iranians had immense dislike for saddam hussein they despise saddam hussein and iran supports the support of the opposition in iraq but iran was opposed to the war because it was unprincipled and against international law in this case as well actions of the turks and the dictatorships in the persian gulf region along with the red western regimes are against international law and that is why iran opposes these actions based upon the same moral principle professor mohammad marandi from the university of tehran live in beirut thank you for joining me today.

9:12 am
going to take a haircut on their debt already have that fully insured in the credit default swap market and they're going to make money no matter what they don't take any risk that's why greece is in this problem to begin with all of the toxic debt that has been accumulated on banks' balance sheets around the world and germany and the u.k. in the u.s. have been put onto the balance sheet of greece and now the government of greece wants the people of greece to pay for this toxic debt the debt in greece did not originate in greece it originated in these other countries that have used greece as a toxic debt don't don't their debt now they want the greeks to pay the debt the greeks of course will be on able to pay their debt the greek government is in place by the bankers the previous greek government was put there by the bankers he was trained in chicago the same place christine legarde was trained the greeks have not had representational government in quite some time they need to take a page out of the arab spring they need to stage

9:14 am
a bid to make the upcoming vote fair and transparent. it's going off reports. it doesn't take long to find videos of alleged violations during the recent parliamentary vote in russia just a couple of clicks is enough years of these files have flooded the internet and even though most of the allegations are still to be proven in courts tens of thousands of people have been taking to the street demanding fair elections with marches presidential votes just around the corner events are unfolding quickly where. people want to vote responsibly with the internet where their votes go what they want political competition independent courts in media feeling the voters league is not. the idea was floating in the air the voters league was officially founded in january by a group of journalists bloggers activists reuters and other public figures and stay with us blake t.v.

host and now activist. or the head of a charity fund and blogger elizabeth would be also known as dr lisa. other school martha ordinator of the blue buckets movement fighting for equal rights on roads for everyone. our league is an opportunity to gather people who are not indifferent to what's happening to more people with a similar position there are just better the leagues main goal is to ensure fair elections is published a list of initiatives on the web divided into groups that everyone can be a part of public discussions and online votes are the key instruments and letters have been sent to all presidential candidates asking them to cooperate with the league and even though the project is less than a month old everyone has so far agreed including pledging to appeal to another candidate businessman mikhail prokhorov has already struck a deal with the leak you have to go i'm willing to authorize one hundred fifty
9:16 am
thousand league observers was also arranged to put together a unified database to keep the check and the election points because according to its founders around ten thousand observers are needed to ensure a fair election in moscow alone. it's great that the civil society wants to be more active but it's clearly important not to cross the line and observers not only are positioned it is serious so if the mutations are not to take sides in the political process. it is the league's founders say those shut the organisation down if it ever starts turning into a political movement claiming there are keen to work with all candidates equally there's no doubt society has changed more people want to have more influence on russia's political life perhaps that's why it took less than one month for the voters league to establish ties with both the authorities and the opposition and with the help promise from candidates the league just may secure enough access to effectively monitor the vote in march as long as it avoids taking sides and
