9:48 am
this is proof that we're picking up on russ feingold's county supervisor. that opens the door a. little monday morning at eight o'clock this hospital be open to the patients. of watson well broke in the south central area of los angeles county. what was put on the map not only in california but the but the nation of the world . in one thousand six hundred five because of the riots six days a prior thing in the 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 by unemployment or education and things like the lack of health care and housing. the microphone commission said that the county must really hospital. just think that we had a section of los angeles county. over a third of
9:49 am
a million citizens without adequate hospital care when i transferred in m.l.k. more use to king. true hospital was the e.r. facility it was a hospital it was a trauma hospital trauma it was open which was actually pretty state of the art trauma and i believe we were saying to him fifty. maybe even closer to fifty five fifty seven thousand a year in the main are 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 for people to go walk in off the street and see clinics in the county and a few bad buggers a few years ago they closed those clinics private clinics are going to open up and
9:50 am
take under insured or patients who can't pay. you so 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. second if you had an appointment with a pharmacy a week ago why didn't you go. i did go. and 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 are not compliant 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
9:51 am
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 we don't feel your heart attacks a leg cut off you know because if they don't 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 . but 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 when. 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.
9:52 am
so we have a possible candidate for the program. mr mayor has been identified as every one user she's 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 to say i'm a doctor mrs romero my name is. i work with
9:53 am
a program called road to health and to help the patient understand better how to use the medical system setting them out maybe. but you are going to have a caseworker who is going to communicate with you often. ok use them as the way you were telling me at 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 maybe if they didn't give me this mattson you do have to educate and 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
9:54 am
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 with al did prescription or the k. y. . and of course they wouldn't sell it to me that's one thing we need to explain to the feet 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 enough for myself. pretty sure because you're going for wellness we'll get together later for a lot of. birds go to the cinema. the good news if you're in the market right now. let's. go there right now we are twenty eight. thirty recently in
9:55 am
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 resort on scene within six minutes you guys are holding down seven minutes flat. however the best it's ever been and it was six for one for. the super necessary just give you the facts. i had a doctor call me from hospital but we rescued get there but no and he called me one evening any tells me that they couldn't take any more patients at their mercy 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 will 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 but you know they're not
9:56 am
paying you can't function as a hospital and that's why we've lost in the hospitals in our area and in los angeles carol a lost just over five years we've had a love and emergency rooms close and in most cases entire hospitals. if you give a map of the city and you put a little dock where the hospitals are and you put a dog or were they have yours and.
10:00 am
the. egypt's streets. are alive with the rallying crowds once again it's a year after president mubarak was forced from power. people here are calling the military council to step down immediately saying they're blocking reforms in the country more from tahrir square just ahead. more pressure is piled on the syrian regime. under new resolution blaming it lands at the u.n. general assembly. to brussels with more cuts in exchange for a bailout cash or people vent their frustration on the streets about.
10:01 am
seven o'clock on saturday night here in moscow this is the life with me wrong. egyptians staging a general strike a day of civil disobedience to mark the first anniversary of the toppling of the former leader hosni mubarak they're calling for the military rulers to step down immediately accusing them of hindering reform. now reports from the iconic sobra square. if you ask those people they will tell you there really nothing has released in the years since the barak has been ousted as a matter of fact there is thing that things have gotten worse because now they have to deal with the military council the scouts which is a head of the country's government right now food for refusing to step down for saying that they're going forth with democratic forms but most people here believe
10:02 am
that is not the case and that is why they're calling for this massive act of civil disobedience the people who are i think i think the source of this call are the egypt's revolution three alliance which is comprised of more than fifty political groups. six of the six of them are the most probably revolutionary groups in the country a lot of them are university students for whom it is the first day of the semester and they're staging sit ins and walk outs they're not going to lectures they're not going to classes they're boycotting exams they're saying that they do want to see some real changes towards democracy in the country which they haven't seen yet they're also calling on workers for massive strikes to go on indefinitely until the military council steps down but a lot of the parties that have made it into the parliament. during the recent elections are actually not supporting the strike primarily or we should know it's the muslim brotherhood who are saying that these this these calls for a massive strike are actually destructive to the country because that will only
10:03 am
charge egypt into further poverty and disarray also the religious leaders in the country are not supporting the strike as well but students the young people who are behind this really sharon with the workers who wanted to see some real differences there are saying that things must be chasing me more on why it's absence are going to strike here is my colleague mary snow. around a thousand killed at least six thousand injured and even more still missing egypt's people have paid a high price to live in a new country but despite all the sacrifices the shadow of the old regime still lose large during mubarak thirty years of mubarak's rule the number of people try them under military tribunals where one to two thousand now you know within about ten months or eleven months we have twelve thousand which is of course a humongous number for a country ruled by the military the supreme council of the armed forces or scaf
10:04 am
that's no surprise but surprisingly enough those discomforted over from who'd previously run the country are not themselves before military tribunals. for. suspected. to be thrown through a court system. that ordinary people there may be. medical records this is a better way and this is in the. hasty with no proper investigation usually with no lawyer and behind closed doors and with no right of appeal human rights activists complain military trials provide no justice and violate human rights you know you have a nineteen year old getting a twenty five year old center in your centers because he had a box of molotov cocktails and people who are found guilty of killing somebody by brutally beating him up and torturing him until he died these are getting seven
10:05 am
years in jail so i mean it they're obviously there's something wrong with this picture a lot of these people are trying for absolutely no reason i mean someone just just being in the wrong place at the wrong time is enough to get you in trouble that's exactly what a man says is his case september the time the israeli embassy in cairo the place. beyond screenplay writer was present at clashes between the army and demonstrators and began helping the injured arrested he was brought to military barracks after summary trial which lasted just twenty minutes he was taken straight to prison to serve almost four months for terrorists and he says the military dishes out a very rough justice. in the emerging a seventy two year old who's been in the army for at least two years it must be hard for him to take off his uniform and this lifestyle and this was the only way they know how to deal with problems. for several days what father didn't know her
10:06 am
son's whereabouts. when his sister came to me and said i have to talk to you i knew it was about him hoping for the best i prepared myself for the worst. a month after ahmed was relieved he now faces yet another trial from the same incident at these really embassy. go is to intimidate people the message is clear if you go to to really you'll be arrested and it makes us even stronger how is it they don't understand the met is no working on a book he wants a title you must shut up he explains if people didn't give up after being beaten and humiliated they'll never give up until their voice has a harem oh the citadel in cairo egypt and medieval symbol of power and strength it was fortified centuries ago to protect the region from his enemies at that time cross aides and crusaders today egypt's rulers are doing the same
10:07 am
striving to defend themselves and to keep power with thousands in jails and dozens killed the concern here is that they may have been working too hard. or if an ocean r.t. cairo. well turning our attention from egypt now to syria where a draw for a solution has been circulated at the un general assembly in saudi arabia is made by saudi arabia it's similar to the text vetoed in the security council last week while calling for an end to violence by both sides it lays blame primarily on the syrian authorities state t.v. says that gunmen for now have assassinated an army general in the capital damascus the first killing of a high ranking military officer since protests began amid reports of ongoing fighting in the country the city of aleppo suffered twin blasts on friday that killed at least twenty eight the free syrian army initially claimed responsibility for the attacks but later denied involvement and then blame the government
10:08 am
meanwhile syria's opposition says it expects official recognition from arab gulf states later this weekend and with no u.n. mandate to intervene in the crisis the u.s. is now said to be gathering a coalition of states willing to support the opposition with calls from washington now to the rebels because as deborah an international human rights lawyer says intervention would be a costly mistake. in syria i think it is a matter of there are some very legitimate interest in the country of people who would like to be able to participate more in their government and i think the government has made some effort to respond they think it needs to make more of an effort but i don't think that comes through foreign intervention it comes through indigenous processes of the people in the country if you look at any foreign intervention over the last several years you see that after the foreign intervention many more people died then could have possibly died through any type
10:09 am
of indigenous process even one involving violence and i think that moscow and some of its allies on this matter are very wise seen the pitfalls of foreign intervention and there is a u.n. charter makes it very clear the use of force should only be. the last possible means of trying to deal with the conflict ten minutes past the hour here in moscow you're watching on t.v. and still ahead for you in the program causing tension and pollution find out about the claims that american military bases around the world are costing lives through their environmental impact and wrecking the area around them. also have a look at this little fellow right here from ukraine becoming a worldwide legerdemain the adventure sport known as. we tread in just a few minutes here on. the technocrat prime minister of greece has cleared
10:10 am
one major hurdle on the way towards more e.u. rescue cash and his cabinet approved the deep cuts needed to secure it however in the process he did lose six ministers who resigned in protest now the plan has to be given the green light by parliament a small right wing party has withdrawn for the meantime from the coalition conservatives are calling for an early election the new dealing kluges firing fifteen thousand civil servants and lowering the minimum wage it's being pushed by e.u. leaders who have put the next one hundred thirty billion euro bailout on hold trade unions are in the second day of their forty eight hour strike with crowds outside the parliament following friday protesters clashed with police used tear gas in response to stones and molotov cocktails financial journalist dmitri coffin the us believes the greek leadership is not acting in the best interests of the people. the government's not doing the people's best interests it's just doing what's in its own interests and the people don't trust the government the government had an
10:11 am
option it could have just said no we're not going to accept these measures and we'll go to default and by the way there's no reason that a default has to equal an exit from the eurozone i don't see the connection other people have made that point and that's used to intimidate the population in greece to scare them to say well if you don't accept these measures that are. we're going to default i'm going to be pawns of the chaos of the drachma hyperinflation disaster and you know these are scare tactics the only way that they're bailing out greece with more debt so more debt exacts more interest payments exacts more debt exec's more interest payments and the end result of that is neal feudalism you get to a point where you have no there's no capital and everything you have is credits that you get from your overlords who are the banks or who are the the political elite who own you basically so of course the only solution is. default bankruptcy it's to write off the debt let someone else deal with it let the banks deal with the losses they extended the loans they had a great time making profit making fees with their with their buddies in the greek government and the greek politicians made
10:12 am
a lot of money and now the greeks have to pay because everyone someone has to pay down the line but now they and instead of making the people that made all the money in the past pay they had a really great time you know it should be greek families and people on pensions and seven year olds and couples they can't afford to get in make money and they have to lose their living standards and not die very gracefully because people before them are kleptocrats and still are so it's actually quite outrageous. that was a financial journalist to meet your coffin so with his assessment of a greece's ongoing debt. america's a mighty military presence around the world is leaving many locals with a bad taste in their mouths the pentagon is accused of causing massive and sometimes deadly pollution not just in other countries also at home as aussies liz wahl reports. the united states department of defense the planet's biggest polluter with hundreds of military bases around the world the department is responsible for
10:13 am
more ways than any other company or country this is a consistent pattern of a lack of concern for the environment and for human life and of course that's something that's part of an imperial mindset the problem has persisted throughout history from nuclear testing in the pacific in the fifty's fire. to nato attacks dropping depleted uranium in libya it gets into the water table and it does damage to the kidneys and the liver is very very highly dangerous some countries say they've had enough like japan which is pushing for the ouster of u.s. troops stationed in okinawa what looks like ninety thousand people in okinawa and thousands others across japan seems to represent people saying as they have been for quite some time that they have just had enough others suffer in silence it tends to be connected at least conceptually to environmental racism countries are being occupied and just leveled or destroyed afghanistan and iraq now libya and if
10:14 am
you look at history in the late twentieth century i mentioned vietnam earlier. is another place where you're going to see this happening this was going on a vehicle with naval bombing in puerto rico and it happens in our own backyard i can please you north carolina where for three decades people bathed and drank contaminated water. only. through. veteran gerry adams mayor believes he lost his nine year old daughter to cancer causing radioactive toxins he and his family were exposed to while base there they were told that they have these and ten minutes and they're getting more or have years. before they. were there well and he's not alone one in ten americans live near a. military site or something some superfund site because military bases extreme and putting in not only radioactive pollution also you know jet fuel how is this
10:15 am
able to happen the entire politics is controlled by fossil fuel interests wall street interests and military interests and though the contamination is costing lives the cost to clean up the mast may be too big for the pentagon an estimated three hundred twenty billion dollars that's almost half the pentagon's budget instead the money is being spent here on wars in afghanistan and iraq and military operations elsewhere. and in today's climate in congress the environment is not at the top of the agenda this is the most environmentally house of representatives in history so far this congress the house of representatives has voted again and again to block action to address climate change to hold their fruits to reduce air and water pollution well president obama recently announced his plan to boost military presence in australia
10:16 am
a military buildup also happening and why a province in south korea with the pentagon splurging on expanding their military reach there seems to be a little funding left to clean up existing masses around the globe and washington was wall. now with the race for the white house well under way and a wrong poll taking second place in the latest caucus artie's very own resident new york now i guess the chance to ask people there if they think that ron paul has any chance of making it to the white house. well. according to some polls ron paul is now back in in the us republican presidential candidacy raised does he really have a chance this week let's talk about that do you think ron paul has chance i personally don't buy into looks weak just physically don't know just looks like an old man and said to say it maybe his values are great and everything but. that's
10:17 am
interesting so do you think the battle affect the way people vote that's affecting the way over aluminite is going to have whatever they want so do you think they're going to choose them. to pry given that obama not a chance why now it is just too much on the fringe for the rest of america but he has such a strong contingent among the you for now well i'll tell you that any changes he'll bring forward will be on obama's good work that's what i'll tell you that he's laying down a foundation for the next president whoever he is exactly that's my belief you know and i and i mean the straight here i think he's got as good a chance i mean i think a bomb a series of those effects of the public the novelty of his kind of a sea world within about twelve months of his arrival and ron paul certainly would be a novelty in office keep in o.t. with. world politics is based at the moment i think is interesting is a non-politician.
