plus why a fish can be better than a hearty handshake the study confirms the more traditional greeting carries more health risks than the cooler. for now the traditional london pub could soon be history british watering holes are closing down to be replaced with lucrative and plush apartment buildings so we dispatched artie's poly. to go for a point to find out why. there are few things more quintessentially british than the pub where pulling pints is a tradition dating back centuries some of the capital's oldest watering holes have been graced by the likes of byron keats charles dickens and even queen elizabeth the first but it could soon be lost orders for the u.k.'s taverns the british beer and public says they're disappearing at a rate of fifty per week mutating into ubiquitous convenience store chains

supermarkets and most often housing this has been parts of old london town for the seventeen hundreds it looks quaint but it was recently sold by its owners for a staggering twenty seven million pounds and guess what the developers want to do yes turn it into apartments calling time on centuries of ales willing socialising prices for housing in the capital are sky high which is why pub landlords are cashing in to ego property developers they are intrinsically. well built often in the victorian era with current touristic attractive to residential. it's happening across the whole of the caption at the moment the resolute pub in london's east end didn't live up to its name after the landlady knocked it down and turned it into flats drinkers at the star in north london have included paul

mccartney and dustin hoffman but that's not stopped owners punch taverns from selling out to developers who want to deal the death blow to the friendly local converting it into a luxury mansion worth millions of pounds many a celebrity and regular have taken to trying to save it the castle in south london has been shut down but the local community is still putting up fortifications after the pub group that owned it. sold out to developers that want to bulldoze it for wait for it luxury flats however in a sign that local authorities could be waking up to the prospect of a pub apocalypse an application to convert the old white bear in north london into you know what was more than the council could bear so they rejected it but what is it that makes this a really british institution worth saving london pubs i suppose all british pubs are unique in the world they have been described to social level as and what that

people like you would need to pick up the tab they'll be another telling off for the profit hungry in our next program. coming your way. death row inmate jealous of would rise in pain during a two hour execution. this prolonged suffering was not part of the plan and not constitutional but an accident and not quite a unique wanted that just this year in both oklahoma and my native ohio there have been botched executions due to complications with lethal injection one judge alex kozinski who voted to give would a stay of execution due to the questionable nature of lethal injection drugs said that the good old firing squad would be a lot more humane and his opinion eight or ten large caliber bullets fired at close range and massive damage causing instant death every time i think lethal injection
5:26 am
is popular not for the executed but for society as judge kozinski said shooting someone in the head with a machine gun is instant death so why don't they use the firing squad because that would be messy and raise questions quietly injecting people way from prying public eyes allows the dirty deed to be done without the hassle of ugly news footage i think that it says something odd about society that we must kill the wicked and murderous but could you do it in a bloodless way completely out of sight i don't want to lose my appetite but that's just my opinion.
5:27 am
welcome to the kaiser report max kaiser. this is the economy for now. out with the nouns and verbs. place yes according to our first headline here max why can't make ends meet trumps poverty this week the center for community change released new research that details of the way low income americans think and talk about living on the edge of the language being used by policymakers and others to describe them is turning off the very people it is supposed to help this is from bill moyers and he spoke to one of these people from this community center for community change what they found is that poor people don't like to be called poor because it's a bad term in america and it means that you failed at the american dream so they prefer verbs instead no that's true in america it's the winner take all mentality
5:28 am
the casino if you will be willing to live in a if you have a shot at winning at the big casino the big american dream casino unlike europe which has the tradition of the noble peasant or the impoverished no it wise person it's actually time more to catholicism because in catholicism they convinced a lot of people in europe that to be poor is to worship jesus in america which started out not as a religious theocracy as it has become but it started out as a separation of church and state and it was just manifest destiny grab all you can go for the gusto we want to be rich and now it's become more like europe it's become more like a religious theocracy is all the world's economies fall into the trap of of fanaticism so that guy bill moyers interviewed said to be poor it's the failed in
5:29 am
the pursuit of the american dream and that the poor are reviled so we shouldn't call them that in fact he says that nouns are failing us in this space and we need to move to verbs what i mean is we've traditionally catalog to mobilize people based on shared identity immigrant queer african american woman now we're seeing that since poorest. reviled category people who argue believe belong in that designation don't want to claim that label so we need to engage them with the language they're ready to not just accept but feel empowered to proclaim and that takes verbs so like struggling to make ends meet living on the brink working for family those are terms that he says are ok which is ironic i think because in fact the top one percent the top zero point one percent they are the opposite they don't want to be known by their verbs that would describe them rigging libel or rigging for x. rigging silver rig.
