and say you know i do this i just do that for money but what i really love to do is x. y. and z. and talk about something he's passionate about to a certain extent are you just describing how to be yourself out of the you know really human with you know you're not sold actually because when when it's not working for you then being yourself doesn't work you need to change and improve definitely you know that's the general advice is just be yourself just be confident just be funny but most guys start can't do that some guys that just aren't doing anything or tokens with so many women may be they could be themselves and have some results but because the try and don't get anywhere they need to actually change but if you're changing to something other than who you are and behaving like somebody other than who you are and then you get past the second or third date at some point you're going to revert back to who you are is not going to blow up yet lation ship
11:49 pm
or is this all about one night stands. well my first few relationships went wrong because i'd got so good at the early stages but then when i go into relationship i didn't know what to do and i got dumped but then i learned about relationships and really what you ask is a good question but it comes down to you know learning anything the first time you know you were brokaw's still show you were smooth you were thinking about things you had things on your minds but now it comes effortlessly so we teach guys and when they go out there thinking a lot they're thinking about their body language what they say but once they've done it for a few months then it is natural so it's a process like learning anything else and once they've gone through it then they will be you know the cool calm relaxed confident guy that women are attracted to so where should andrew and young men like him recent college graduates they've been busy you know getting through school and get a job and everything and you know the word seems to be the bar scene and i guess that's the cliche where should andrew grow to find the woman of his dreams the bar
11:50 pm
is not the place to find the woman even if your dream space is the place to go and be sociable with still so lots of women and practice having conversations have some fun to really think about what you want to meet lots of women and you know come up with who your dream girl might be and then you're more likely to find her in the daytime in the street in the coffee shop in the mall than you are in the bar with a night club ok richard thanks so much for being with us tonight thank you and we'll pass along all your recommendations to andrew. men of the world now you have the power to go out there and get the woman of your dreams and now everything you know about the art of seduction is right.

we all know republicans are hell bent on repealing obamacare we also know facts are called news determined to misinform americans about what they stand to gain from obamacare this election year and we know that the pro corporate activist supreme court could deliver a death blow to obamacare in the next few months but none of these are the real threats to the success of obamacare instead the real threat is a lack of doctors particularly a lack of primary care doctors thirty two million more americans will have access to health insurance by two thousand and fifteen thanks to obamacare better means we need a lot more doctors to handle the new patients as this chart shows it's a simple supply and demand problem we're about one hundred thirty thousand doctors shy where we need to be to cover all the new patients and twenty twenty five and by two thousand and fifteen we're going to need at least thirty thousand new primary
11:52 pm
care docs alone that's going to be tough since there's not much financial gain in being a primary care doc these days so you can see on is the internal medicine at the bottom this is primary care docs in these are surgery anesthesiology cardiology radiology and oncologists are off the scale so how do we solve this problem of these primary care docs making so little a one way is to incentivize primary care docs and so little be two hundred nineteen thousand dollars a year this is that requires money in investments that has a snowball's chance in hell of getting through a republican congress especially if it will help obamacare be successful. another way is to import more doctors some abroad in a recent piece of business insider economist dean baker makes that argument writing the median compensation for primary care physicians is two hundred eight thousand seven hundred dollars a year there's no shortage of smart people in countries like china india mexico and elsewhere who would be happy to train to u.s. standards you come home fully fluent in english and work for half of this wage gap
11:53 pm
in wages between the united states in these countries is so large the dr some of these countries would be far ahead of what they could earn in their home countries even if they only made one hundred thousand dollars a year he also points out how our trade policies protect highly educated workers like doctors but let manufacturing jobs get devoured by dropping protections on investing in the fashion industry anyway it's a decent point particularly if you buy the so-called free trade argument that america must become a country of progressively lower and lower wages as we sink to becoming the world's lowest common denominator but there's something else that nobody's talking about and that's the power of the american medical cartel doctors have it really good in america they make more money here on average than any other country in the world and one reason why is that they purposefully keep the doctor labor force low so the demand for doctors always outstrips the supply of doctors leading to higher and
11:54 pm
higher wages consider this a number of applicants to med school in america dramatically increase between two thousand and three and two thousand and eight more and more americans wanted to be doctors as we discussed the country needs more doctors however during these same years the percentage of applicants accepted at med schools actually went down. that's because rather than opening up more med school slots in american medical association and groups associated with them tighten things up and began restricting open slots cutting back on how many doctors could be trained in america today fifty seven percent of applicants to med school are turned away which doesn't make sense especially when you look at other comparable fields like lawyers since nine hundred sixty three the number of law schools in america increased almost fifty percent there are now over over two hundred law schools around the nation and no one thinks we have a shortage of lawyers who are going to schools it's a different story one hundred years ago there were one hundred sixty six medical
11:55 pm
schools in our country today there's roughly one hundred thirty that's a twenty two percent decrease while the american population has increased three hundred percent similarly the number of docs who can practice in america is limited by the number of hospital residency slots for doctors in training and most of those residents these are paid for with medicare funding and methadone has been frozen since one nine hundred ninety seven by the balanced budget act i wonder we have a shortage of doctors and will continue to have a shortage jonkers as long as the a.m.a. and congress limit the supply of doctors i research in medical school openings and hospital residences but what else do you expect from a health care system that puts the profit motive ahead of healing but you know it's time to hand the job of healing americans back to americans back to all of us make medicine and health care part of the commons just like it is an every other
11:56 pm
developed nation on the planet how do you do that it's really simple we've already got a single payer health care program in the united states it could conceivably cover everybody in america right now and covers everybody over sixty five it's called medicare. the apparatus is there the infrastructure is there the bureaucracy is there it operates on a three percent overhead it's very very efficient their checks actually always get cached so let's create a new medicare program we'll call it medicare part d. the standing for everybody now is going to take a little while bring the since let's just say that every two or three years will drop the eligibility age for medicare by ten years or so over a period of maybe ten or fifteen years eventually everybody in the united states is eligible for medicare. everybody then is covered by medicare and you've got universal single payer coverage so that's that's the way that i would do medicare part d. that's the big picture for tonight for more information the stories we've covered

to. put to the test as the u.n. general assembly scrutinizes the syrian crisis group is seen by some as an attempt to put the screws on russia and china. and. europe gets hit with yet another wave of celebrates confidence collapses in the future this is the e.u. presses ahead of its will still see crusade against or let's increase. through the russian ways flooded with free election campaigning positive coverage of the fees in sections as precise as number of vantage of the other presidential candidates. plus a balance is becoming more practical. habits. and business incitement.
12:01 am
focusing live from moscow this is all tweeting about the program the un general assembly is preparing its members for the upcoming visit to have a new draft resolution. on syria the committee to protect the kurds the long school in beijing in the security council every un human rights chief said over forty to take action on the syrian crisis precise knowledge to execute. the decisions of the joint force and the thing binding some believe the votes could be used in the attempt to put pressure on both russia and china which strains. this meeting has definitely lasted the entire day we've been hearing speeches from
12:02 am
dozens of countries that started early in the morning and of course this comes only a week after a double veto from russia and china blocked an arab and western backed resolution on syria to the security council so what we saw is an attempt from the saudi arabia and qatar to go to another body of the united nations and attempt to find some kind of decision there even though the general assembly does consist of over one hundred nineteen members we have to keep in mind that it's not nearly as powerful as the security council because whatever decision comes out of the general assembly is by no means binding it's only seen as a recommendation by the rest of the international community and what's key here is that the text off this supposedly resolution of the general assembly will be voting on voted no on has not even been circulated yet we're hearing about it's going to be pretty much the same document that russia and china vetoed and russia is unsure and china's problem with the text was that it seemed biased to the countries saying that it only names the syrian government as the main cause of the conflicts going
12:03 am
on on the ground in syria but not the arms group the armed groups and that's something that continues to give major sticking points the recognition of our two sides to this conflict by the international community we've been hearing all of these countries make speeches cities seeing the syrian government is committing atrocities so really this is another opportunity for those who do support regime change on the ground to stand down criticism towards the syrian government many experts. saying really that the fact that this symbolic diplomatic gesture is being attempted at the united nations doesn't really mean much because any sort of document is not going to help stop the crisis on the ground unless i question is for a cease fire so many are saying that should be a priority prioritized at the general assembly these days and not just you know a lot of words of criticism well neil clark a u.k. based journalist and contributor to the guardian newspaper says instead of the diplomatic wrangling world powers should focus on urging both sides in the syrian
12:04 am
conflict to lay down. why we got peace in syria over the last eleven months the government has said they would make concessions the government could open to troops but the opposition has been picked on by irresponsible west and its allies and i think we would have had a peaceful solution to this months ago had the opposition not been gone by the west they are being encouraged to take a very hard line the west has been denouncing the government violence but it hasn't been denouncing the violence by the opposition and until it does does not have any peace in syria so you know that he is actually the western powers in the arab league ability to say to the opposition forces look you have to stop the violence the government stops the violence everybody stops the violence and then we can now call for talks but syria alarming reports continue to emanate from the protest of homes and with the spiraling violence now being found by such person and concerns the crisis could take a sectarian for as artie said
12:05 am
a further. a predominantly christian town of milly lies in the syrian mountains it's even here in this hauntingly beautiful place and signs of the paralyzing conflict was tearing apart much of the country right now creeping in and a sense of foreboding hangs heavy. travel out of this area much longer feel it's safe he speaks of the nuns at the monastery here they tell us about the town's preservation of the ancient aramaic language and like their cherished tongue they hate the fine balance of religious groups in the country can be kept even in these difficult times for having this woman who have been living. their religion and ethnicity in peace for a long time. back in the center and damascus is known as a melting pot of religions alloa effect are a minority in the country but despite making up around just twelve percent of
12:06 am
potato population and luis have occupied elite positions in the government and the military for decades and now there are fears that resentment among the majority muslim sunni stacks. the country girl until this crisis breakout was religiously diverse the tolerance now the current increasingly polarized genuine fears that just that these divisions my late here's a sectarian tensions being further exploited in stakes by the emergence of an al qaeda video link the holy war illustrate the assad regime violence is just not going to end we see it happening and iraq neighboring iraq sectarian violence that is catastrophic and nobody is reporting on that of reporting on syria and they're not focusing on the potential problems that syria could lead into another iraq on the streets they are an increasingly desperate population has called for help in whatever form it comes as long as it stops the violence as little time for them to
12:07 am
think about long. carrying risks as many of them are worrying about a least a vital anyone or. anyone over there. in syria right now the state still largely remains a long list of coal mines but there's concern that it's increasingly bloody conflict continues it could turn into a sectarian one as well so i think it's serious well still to come on the program a super power games washington beijing representatives meet to discuss cooperation of the u.s. into. these. tensions between israel and iran escalate. to bomb attacks and this is stuff from an assistant. just a few minutes. yet another wave of credit rating downgrade says hit the
12:08 am
e.u. with moody's one of the big three rated slashing schools of italy spain for other nations this latest directed debt bearing greece hopes that extreme austerity that will open unions credit contagion. reports it's a plan that already seems to be unraveling. a system under siege m.p.'s drowned out the pleas of tens of thousands of demonstrators amassed within a short passing another round of unpopular cuts. the results proved in a century. in which they actually got a protest turned violent as protesters including fringe and a case clashed with police again leaving their mark on athens. the day on this is the remnants of public anger with loss of the only thing that's being broken as
12:09 am
governments past increasingly unpopular austerity cuts will be left asking who can they trust serve their interests the measures are very very tough part of the poor people especially and this is a zone that we feel. today i think more measures have been taken and they're it's not going to work in the empty field be another bill he clearly. and. oh i hope for the best but i don't see it coming. under pressure from brussels but when and the international monetary fund the greek government has cut more jobs to slash funding for the nation's pensions a minimum wage recovery policy a case the main expose those was vulnerable to crisis conditions somalis that some feel is doomed to fail and we already have destroyed the whole generation of young people living their dreams destroyed the structure of the sabian the structure of
12:10 am
the whole country we know that there is. a piece there that we have no signs that he does eagle or old euros we cannot continue like that because the ball is the government is following actually increases the dead instead of finding the solution of the hearts of activists claims is their search and that they've noticed their. the for the best part of five years now and that time taxes have risen incomes have full of countries deficit only seems to grow ending this austerity cycle is something sought by an increasing number despite the turmoil the government walls would follow what the political system is that they have the right exactly even more. people. the only way out from this point is the default default is good to be very tough for us but there's going
12:11 am
to be a better solution than this a slow death. and now relative calm as a turn to the streets of athens smashed buildings have been patched up the signs of damage swept away and the simmering discontent hasn't been a mass force medicine appears to bring nothing but pain many are continuing their call for terms of treatment to greece r.t. athens. despite recent passing its harshest austerity package yet there's no guarantee it will get more bailout cash still has conditions to fulfilling colluding further cuts to protect against a greek default and international consultant and author agency which in some countries walked into a vicious cycle. are bankers that stupid that they always make the mistake of lending too much money and are governments that stupid. much more than they can pay back or insist is this part of our model we're like shylock's pound of. you
12:12 am
ability of the sovereign there it's literally to control and it's so sad to see the same sickening scene time and again. into the streets they are repressed by the police will tear gas we throw stones somebody gets injured hundreds get in somebody's always ends up getting killed and i always figure that it's the poor people on the streets fighting the police who are also poor and i always wonder if there are a cigar smoking perched on the fifth floor boardrooms looking down of these scenes and just laughing at it all well the troika of greek and then desired you to be told wednesday to give your friends bail out their preliminary approval the final say however rests with the german parliament something that's not sitting well with next kaiser but thirty g.m.t. certainly europe's debt crisis and kaiser reports. greece approved tombstone austerity deal with troika so we see over and over there's
12:13 am
a great deal there is not a great deal there's a great deal there's not a great deal well. there is a deal now there were german. were cruising trying to build a new drive all the elegant marvels but big already stalled. the arrival of the chinese vice president xi jinping in the u.s. comes at a testing point in relations between the two economic giants you to meet with his american counterpart to joe biden if you're expected to work on ties against the backdrop of a u.s. troop buildup around china let's discuss what may come of this trip with. our list of random school russian studies in singapore where you are joining us mr escott all what's the chinese vice president hoping to achieve over the coming days do you think. well basically the visit marks an important milestone first of all in sino
12:14 am
u.s. relations but historically from current perspective and a future perspective historically it's a forty year twenty five is the forty year anniversary of president nixon's visit to china which ways it be open up to us some sign of u.s. relations so the sort of that basically from historical perspective is very very important now twenty twelve is also very important hearing in chinese political political system is that it's a year where you'll see a generational shift in chinese political system and she jinping basically represents the fifth generations of new chinese leaders which will take the helm after after this year he's basically opposed to become mature general party secretary in october of this year and become china's future president and basically did she jim paying you have a whole new generation of new leaders that will come with new ideas and will shape the future is china u.s. relations so i would argue that you have a sign to u.s. relations at the crossroads right now both in terms of where they are right now
12:15 am
where they are heading and in terms of his goals basically there are three three ideas he wants to show that he has he is not it's probably just credibility both internally externally as china's future leader and specially internal dimension is very important he wants to show the chinese domestic audience that he is a capable confident and well established and basically take care of the responsibility of handling the most important relations with the u.s. and secondly he wants to give a sneak preview of if he wants to basically show himself will introduce himself to the u.s. now there's very little information on whether he was what he's really worldview what he's world views are so he wants to basically introducing himself to u.s. policy makers and discuss a range of issues on both from the chinese and u.s. perspective and third of all there probably i would argue he wants to mitigate some of the tensions especially in the year of friendly fire when you have u.s. elections you mentioned today i mean shown with neither side seemingly willing to
12:16 am
make political concessions to the other what you think is the future of chinese u.s. relations. well i think it's important not to see a sign of u.s. relations in zero sum perspective is zero sum game that means conflict is inevitable are not i think the future of u.s. u.s. china relations will depend on the know how they will able to manage the complex issues both on bilateral regional and global level so i believe there will be tensions but most of all it will be very important how the new generations of leaders especially in the trying out will be able to manage the own domestic problems and how they will be able to communicate with the americans and vice versa so it's important really not to see that as a zero sum game as there are some perspective if there is a room for cooperation there's a room to to improve the relations further ok about how drastically that their parents are lists that they read about in school of international studies thank you for joining us here at all to think. you can log on to our team dot com or
