7:49 pm
number of beds which they're planning on doing to forty two beds then that's going to be repercussions for everybody so. hopefully it won't get to the point where it's going to be affecting patient care to the point where people are going to be waiting for such a long time so that they're not going to be getting treated as they should so we'll see what happens. yeah he was actually injected right check out the vehicle and the passenger. there is no one in the end to this we are the county hospital for the poor and yet with a trauma center for everyone on the south bay area of los angeles. so it makes no difference if you have the best insurance in the world or no insurance the next time you're in a traffic accident if god forbid we have an earthquake or a bioterrorist attack we are the place that you want to come we're the place you're going to be brought regardless of where you want to come and if we're overcrowded have no gurneys you're going to be in trouble you're not going to get the kind of

it's a scene straight out of an action flick assassins on motorcycles plant a magnetic bomb on a car with a scientist in it but this is no movie it's the most recent killing of an iranian nuclear scientists and now reports say israel is to blame we'll bring you the very latest strong. who is very. very very successful. modern. sitting in it to stand up for union rights seventy five years after poor conditions drove workers to strike many of the issues they protest and remain relevant today was this protest the original occupy movement. or bodyguard
8:01 pm
will back me up on this all pretty girls are right wingers. red white and full of patriotism conservatives have descended on washington d.c. for a second day and where there is movers error is also the occupy movement looking to shake things up well take it to the twenty twelve conservative political action conference. president obama he's the most effective their president and. leave it to newt gingrich to blame a national crisis on one man meanwhile millions of americans are living hand to mouth and using food stamps to survive and it's not just the poorest of the poor that need a helping hand explain. it's friday february tenth eight pm in washington d.c. i'm christine for you watching our team. one more tensions on this friday evening
8:02 pm
between israel and iran sanctions imposed by the united states and other countries on iran are starting to have a deep impact for the people seventy four million who live in the country and many now are finding it more and more difficult to get access to food and money meanwhile two senior u.s. officials have confirmed to n.b.c. news that the people's mujahedeen of iran a dissident group also known as the end ek worked in conjunction in conjunction with the mossad israel's national intelligence agency in carrying out the assassinations of iranian nuclear scientists now the emmy kay is listed on the united states official terrorist group list for the group has been removed from the terrorist list of the u.k. and european union earlier i spoke to max blumenthal a writing fellow with the nation institute about whether the relationship between the mossad and the m e k is significant. and the reason it's significant is because these stories are tumbling out in the mainstream press in the united states about
8:03 pm
israel using terrorist groups terrorist proxies to attack iran to carry out what the federation of american scientists call terrorist attacks inside iran before this story we had a story by mark perry in foreign policy about israeli mossad officers posing as cia officers conducting a false flag operation to use members of the pakistani jungle a terrorist group to carry out assassinations inside iran kerry sources were absolutely solid his story was not challenged by anyone in the united states and now we have a story by n.b.c. and b.c.s. chief middle east correspondent richard engel quoting u.s. intelligence officials meeting people in the cia who are clearly furious about what the israeli mossad is doing confirming that israel is used the marxist is slow islam islamic terror call the peoples and the k the kariya assassinations inside
8:04 pm
iran acts that secretary of state hillary clinton has sought to distance the united states from so we have a situation where the u.s. is in conflict with israel and at the center of it is this bizarre terror call yet so interesting when you sort of connect the dots here because you know i should say there are people in iran who believe the cia is involved but as a member of the terrorist list here the cia cannot be involved cannot be working with the any case though if you do have you know connecting the dots to israel working with the m.e. kay and the cia doing whatever over here but certainly wanting to maintain that strong relationship with israel it seems there could be some problems i had. absolutely the in the united states. at least on the intelligence community in the united states and the diplomatic corps seems to want nothing to do with this group
8:05 pm
because this group worked with saddam hussein carried out attacks on americans carried out attacks on iranians while that was the control of saddam hussein and therefore has no credibility inside iran an illegitimate president so it's something the u.s. would want to get behind but at the same time this group is paying major figures in the united states a bipartisan coalition former homeland security director tom ridge former f.b.i. director louis freeh former new york mayor rudy giuliani former democratic presidential candidate howard dean alan dershowitz the you know high powered pro israel trial lawyer all these figures have been paid to shill on behalf of the people's any k. which is now confirmed as a terror organization what they're doing is trying to get it removed from the state department terrorist list so the question is if these figures say it's not a terrorist organization just because they're being paid to and i'm not sure where that money is coming from it doesn't mean that it's really not
8:06 pm
a terror organization is this just not terrorism. i think it's a good question and certainly at least here in d.c. the commercials are often on t.v. on various channels about taking the m e k off the list and the importance of that and i always wondered myself sort of where that money was coming from max i spent a lot of yesterday at c pac here in washington the conservative political action conference and listen to several of the speakers there marco rubio michele bachmann and as you can imagine there was a lot of talk about israel the importance of the relationship with israel and why president obama. is a really bad friend to israel and a. it was even said by one person sort of a friend to iran in some ways talk a little bit about this new information coming out and how it sort of changes the political chessboard and how it sort of plays into politics in washington as well
8:07 pm
i'm not sure if the new information changes anything i mean what we're just seeing is a sustained campaign. in which president obama is being attacked as an enemy of israel and deep deep immersion by the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu and his proxies in this presidential campaign because netanyahu is goal is to overthrow two regimes one in tampa and the other in washington he wants to overthrow barack obama and replace him with someone like mitt romney who surrounded himself with neo conservatives who want to attack iran carry out what israel wants to do would probably can't do so the heat there is a shadow war going on israel is a partisan wedge issue it's being used as a culture war issue like abortion or gay marriage to attack the president in the goal is regime change in iran and one of the key proxies in this is sheldon adelson the multi billionaire backer of newt gingrich who may soon shift to backing mitt
8:08 pm
romney sheldon adelson is one of netanyahu his closest friends he owns a newspaper that backs netanyahu and israel israel high own he he's funded several think tanks that provide netanyahu with advisors and i want to know as netanyahu had any discussions with sheldon adelson during this campaign that's really the key question at the american media should be asking it isn't asking that was not fluent writing fellow at the nation institute. well tomorrow marks the seventy fifth anniversary of the end of the flint sit down strike one of the big deal and very interesting as well we're talking tens of thousands of people banding together to fight for better working conditions in u.s. auto manufacturing plants it all started when the united auto workers union targeted it to g.m. plants and workers showed up at work and sat down inside so that new workers can come in to replace them had nearly shut down the company and before long other
8:09 pm
plants followed suit and it did take a while but they got the attention finally of the big boys the heads of the automakers. now let's fast forward to today especially this year many of these same issues about working conditions and workers' rights will come up again as the subject is unions of course back up for debate of course and to union wisconsin governor scott walker faces a recall election a couple in a couple months because of his policies but as we said here many states across the country are working hard to dismantle the rights that so many fight for today and also fought for seventy five years ago take a look. it started in late december nineteenth thirty six workers that two general motors plants in flint michigan found their working conditions unbearable long hours no time for bathroom breaks and excessively cold conditions in the winter and hunt in the summer there were people who were dropping over because of the heat and other workers were told just step over them until we
8:10 pm
can get them out of the way. they didn't they didn't slow down the line they didn't stop it. so the workers stopped at themselves by coming into work and sitting down it was it was tested we very revolutionary and very successful and i think it was extremely important in creating the modern way that sean crawford works long hours on an assembly line today for the same company that was targeted in the sit down strike general motors so workers have been down for forty four days workers stayed put as their employers turned off the heat and blocked food deliveries it was the dead of winter but still they stayed shawn crawford great grandfather was one of them. was ashen we several times has just broken on two occasions was thrown off the list. because he was the question what to force it
8:11 pm
down straight what started into manufacturing plants in flint michigan seventy five years ago it spread throughout the country with workers from both in and out of the auto industry taking part you could say it was the original occupy movement the. guy the man the similarities are eerie right. now from the occupation itself. to the more extreme tactics hand. to the way in which they were dealt with by police they saw the flint police approaching in full riot gear they attacked with tear gas and guns. and violence just like today but you know what you know perhaps the most striking parallel though the core issues they're fighting for one reason proffered joined occupy flint in so far that
8:12 pm
is. the way it is for you smarter people who are drawing the everyone else in humility the excess capital that it or that story will always be despite historic battles fought and ground game and i am confident that after a thorough. there will be a better understanding between employer and employee. and better still i hope the conditions will be improved under rich men and women labor. law. the confidence of labor friendly governor frank murphy prevailed on february eleventh one thousand nine hundred thirty seven a deal was struck recognizing the united auto workers which had only been formed the year before as the exclusive bargaining representatives to g.m.'s employees day . shortly after
8:13 pm
a local business weekly declared the revolution is here thank you. christine for south r.t. well labor journalist mike alka joined me earlier for more and here's part of our conversation i guess you know a lot of lessons you know what i found most interesting about that right there is that you know you brought the point that the u.a.w. has formed you for the struggle organizers are plants have been going on for the better part of a decade and in that one moment they were able to come together and i think big lesson for labor leaders as we hear a lot of talk about. you know i guess organizing is characterized by powerpoint and one year strategies and there's never this big long term picture of you know it might take ten thirteen years to organize a couple hundred workers but that's a struggle we need to keep an eye on and i think that's the biggest lesson is that sometimes change happens overnight but it happened as a result of a lot of organizing going for that i want to put up a headline that was in a newspaper and this is what it says this is caterpillar lays off locked out
8:14 pm
canadian workers moves jobs to low wage indiana i mean this is really interesting because becoming a right to work state. the article i'll also ask could indiana be the new mexico talk a little bit about what is going on right now in terms of this sort of dismantling of rights so caterpillar is a company that makes locomotives and london ontario as well as a lot of other places the workers in london ontario were making about thirty dollars an hour and the company one of them cut their wages in half i mean you know magic somebody comes and ask you to cut your income in half that's a life changing experience they ask them to cut their wages in half they walk the workers out and then they decided they were going to move the. right to work indiana for half the wages and you know they put out advertisements for managers that were experienced university and union three cultures so lose this this experience where you know i've taught a lot of canadian workers where american workers you know are now becoming the new
8:15 pm
mexico for canada new mexico for a lot of europe which quickly becoming the labor laws are so weak you on the flip side of this though mike i mean for anyone who watched mitch daniels speak after the state of the union and said this very thing but said it is a very positive term for people who are out of work and watching us right now saying you know what i wouldn't mind making fifteen dollars an hour because i've been making nothing for the last year you know what's sort of the insight that you lend to those people who have been out of work who are very. about the prospect of working at a manufacturing plant in indiana or other places that maybe right to work. you know because it is a job yeah i mean sure that's that's the big problem is that there's so many people that are willing to do that are willing to go in and scab on other people like that that are so desperate that they're willing to go in and do that kind of work you know what was really interesting is last month he announced that you know jobs had
8:16 pm
grown and you know one employment to go down to seven point eight percent or so well was two hundred forty three jobs even if it only was from eight point three down a point that unemployment was going down dramatically but the more telling statistic was that real wages have gone down by two percent in the last year so while jobs are increasing it's having an effect on wieters and that's the rate front so when it's at our destination fast food and lower even more of anything for less we do so yeah and i think the lesson of one is you know the only way you're going to double stop that race to the bottom is have everybody been together in a kind of solidarity and i think that's the real lesson of the sit down strike and that's the guy that i interviewed that you saw in that report sean crawford really interesting because he has so many ties to the flint sit down strike and he today is a number of the united auto workers union works you know long days on the assembly line and he said that. one of the problems that he sees is he doesn't see that kind of solidarity happening today because of what you call you know the desperation
8:17 pm
that we see and you know what's it going to take for that kind of same cohesiveness to happen again with the large numbers that we saw seventy five years ago why he gets already starting to happen i think is the great thing about occupy is that you know it's sort of like a training camp and people sort of come together and they've learned that you know people collectively can take action and you can really start changing the dialogue but in the real last couple weeks there's been a number of organizing victories a cablevision in new york jean kansas city and the big common to nomination seems that folks are just at a point where they've had enough where they can't cut the. and what it can cut their wages for the more we can do that and i think because of that but what about i mean what we're seeing right now twenty twelve is going to be a big year especially as you know i was at c.p. i guess today a lot of talk about the different ideas that republicans and democrats have about unions and you know this is going to be on the forefront of discussion for the next few months right to work for.
