2:07 am
trapped in the collapsed building were kids local medics say the strike struck a home and shop there many journalists were saying. what you have seen in the video that has been going around in some media for children under the rubble after the soviet coalition fighter jet but event it is cured to come and we have seen in some of this video again which was crying and she was asking for some water they said no we will give you a little bit of water you are still injured we need to check you out said no i am not injured i am not injured and you can see in the footage that she was really really badly injured by this so-called sodhi strike. a spokesperson for the saudi coalition earlier said that their goal is to restore yemen's legitimacy and to make the country safe and secure saudi coersion in yemen is aimed at who the opposition fighters who controlled territories in the north are human rights groups continue
2:08 am
to call on riyadh to end its role in the conflict saudi arabia has repeatedly insisted it does not target civilians but fights terrorists hussein says he has evidence to the contrary those bombs would have brought to me by children in that area just imagine i mean this young who but i think a lot of just what i don't do home in that village is i mean i want to ask you is on both of the two they live nation owes supplying this bomb to the soviet coalition the only country that actually is using this bombs on yemen the only company that i mean have a blockade in yemen the only fight that is. on the sky in yemen there are us over the fight that you get that out of fuel but you as. the only thing that they like is they've skated of both is what type of missile that the yemenis the hope you have. taking on the opioid epidemic has become one of the top priorities of the current us administration as overdose deaths have seen
2:09 am
a shopping crease in recent years part of the plan is to cut back on opioid prescriptions as american looks at how these have contributed to the crisis. a crisis in the us has reached the point where the drug enforcement administration itself says it should be doing a better job the united states continues to be affected by a national opioid epidemic which has been spurred in part by the rise of opioid prescribing and misuse the da can and must do better let's quickly break it down in a span of seventeen years two hundred thousand people have died as a result of overdose deaths involving opioids increase four times from ninety nine to twenty sixteen and every day more than fix hundred fifty thousand opioid prescriptions are issued in the us. and the da blames doctors
2:10 am
indiscriminate prescribing can endanger patients' lives doctors take an oath to do no harm and provide the best care for their patients first do no harm this is the basic principle to practice medicine. but is it fair to pin the blame on doctors when it's the d n a itself that registers individuals and companies to sell controlled substances and guess what their funding is depended on the da must set face at a level that ensures the recovery of the full costs of operating the various aspects of the diversion control program. in two thousand and seventeen the da claimed that it issued one point seven million licenses around five hundred thousand more since two thousand and eight a pharmacist who prescribe drugs to almost all of his clients is now serving jail time for ground zero is west virginia where doctors write hundred and thirty eight prescriptions for every one hundred people did you write three hundred twenty five prescriptions the first week of january for more than nineteen thousand oxy code on
2:11 am
pills. possibly you don't know how many prescriptions you wrote i don't i don't i think it may well be. it's not just criminal physicians or what we call pill mill doctors willfully exchanging prescriptions for cash even well intentioned compassionate physicians have gotten caught up in the problem of overprescribing i think the da does bear responsibility primarily in that their job was really to police whether or not opioids were being indiscriminately prescribed dispensed and even transported to these very small towns and they didn't do their job in that regard he's still behind bars but his license was never revoked it just expired well indeed a report showed that criminals are often allowed to continue practicing medicine even after doing their time in one instance
2:12 am
a doctor who was selling prescriptions for controlled substances to undercover police was sentenced to five years supervised probation but never lost his license if that's not shady enough the agency issued licenses to individuals that have a history of drug abuse and trafficking here's one example a doctor was granted a medical license after two drug related arrests the first time he was arrested for cocaine distribution and the second for cocaine use only to be issued a license eight years later. why is it that licenses are rarely revoked while the acting head of the d.a. believes the system is to blame we have done a lot of civil fines but when you look at major businesses find seem to have little impact and i think that's part of the frustration i think the key to it is as we're states either don't have the ability to connect with each other or the system that actually aren't being used as is highly problematic and the way the system works means we're only seeing the tiniest fraction of licenses the folks we're talking to
2:13 am
your zero point zero one four percent out of one point seven million licenses so one of the. the thing is that we are now recommending is that before the v.a. grants a license to a physician there should be required education of that physician should have in order to get the da license in the first place what would be much more important is training physicians in how to safely prescribe opioids in the first place and once they have prescribed opioids how to monitor patients so that they can see whether or not that patient is becoming addicted misusing the opioid or diverting it to other sources. hundreds of kittens are being euthanized every year after being used in experiments on food borne illnesses scientists use them to investigate diseases such as type so please most of us offer the experiments even healthy kittens were allegedly put down just in goodman the vice president of the white
2:14 am
coat waste project claims this has been going on for decades been doing it for nearly sixty years straight year over one hundred kids a year comes directly from the approved application for their very project never criticizing it says in their numerous times that they plan to use one hundred kittens a year and that this number is based on the number of kids they've used in previous years so it's not only that they're killing up to one hundred kids now it's that they've been doing it for decades and they've missed out of their documents now after all of us has come out of the u.s. department of agriculture finds itself under fire and says it didn't consider the option of adoption as the animals could have posed a threat to people by spreading the disease however the world health organization explained that cats are not the main way the disease is spread just a good one again says the kittens pose no danger. it is absolutely false and untrue what the u.s.d.a. is saying about these cats possibly posing a risk to people the u.s.
2:15 am
centers for disease control one of our top health agencies the americans at merion medical association and the association for every medical colleges as well as lots of other authorities also say that cats who have this parasite are perfectly safe to have in your house the government agency say that these cats are healthy and to be people's pets they could be adopted out but instead the u.s. department of agriculture is killing one hundred kids a year for no reason are still to come on the program here on our team journalists in spain are taking a stand against alleged government meddling and if they're all trusting in black we'll give you details offer a very small bright. light for many clubs over the years so i know the guy even saw you guys. football isn't

2:18 am
republican support. watchdogs of american politics of observed that the democrats are losing their supposed upper hand when it comes to the upcoming congressional midterm elections now there are many different factors that play into this but one that stands out is that trump has doubled down on good old fashioned american warmongering he's appointed notorious war hawks pompei oh and bolton has ripped up the iran deal and he's even unleashed a torrent of missiles against the syrian arab republic more recently he's appointed gina has a bloody gina to be the head of the cia she was allegedly involved in the agency's torture program of the past now we get a lot of democrats speaking up against gina haskell but as long as she gets two of them to go along in her favor she's clear to be confirmed already we've got joe manchin from west virginia democratic senator speaking in her favor. i have found gina has to be a person of great character she has worked in some of the most dangerous corners of
2:19 am
the world and i have the utmost respect for the sacrifices she has made for our country i look forward to working with gina hospital now joe manchin is from west virginia that's a state full of conservative minded appellations while opposing war and torture might when the democrats friends up in new england in red states among conservative minded americans these hardline pentagon policies are crowd pleasers not scandals now remember the resistance the folks protesting donald trump at every turn and taking the leadership from hillary clinton well those folks agree with donald trump on very few things but among them is bombing syria i really believe that we should have and still should. take out his airfields and prevent him from being able to use them to bomb innocent people and proxy sharon gas. even c.n.n. the network down in trump is accused of fake news is with him when he's on the warpath remember when missiles were flying into syria voices that usually. poe's
2:20 am
donald trump simply an odd donald trump ordered a missile strike against the assad regime in syria i support president trump's use of american military power this week they even talked up the military equipment we are refueling the saudi bombers that are dropping the bombs it is said that thousands of civilians have died in yemen because of this you know there's a lot of jobs at stake certainly if a lot of these defense contractors stop selling warplanes other sophisticated equipment to saudi arabia they're going to there's going to be a significant loss of jobs or revenue here in the united states when the media and politicians are telling americans that war is good for business don't be too surprised if you see us public support for war let's recall how the media pushed the americans to support the invasion of iraq and most of them went along with it we expect every american to support our military and if they can't do that to shut up our duty as loyal americans to shut off once the fighting begins trump campaign
2:21 am
with candy war talking points but the polls show that he's hawkish turn hasn't really hurt him among the public there seems to be a lot of americans who are tired of war but there's a pretty solid core of folks who believe the cruise missiles keep them safe and that america first should refer to military strength. r t new york. a man who was violently escorted out of a senate hearing on wednesday has been released walking out of the court facility seventy nine year old cia veteran remick up and showed bruises on his hands reportedly from security he was one of the protesters who interrupted the session denouncing of the controversial cia chief nominee hospital. i was going. on the first i resisted my many respects and. never stop resisting how was he he was going to stop hurting me and i don't just let.

a radio and t.v. corporation or dressed in black as part of a protest against alleged interference into the channels work by spain's ruling party disgruntled journalists are calling for the sacking of the media corporations president they started the black friday campaign in a bid to protect media integrity expressing anger at the government's perceived efforts to control their work when they're done called the positive developments in catalonia because you find a damaging use more interesting when you're asked to tell the viewers about the electoral campaign in chronological order so that you won't start with the scandal affecting the ruling party. when you're asked to present certain information exactly how it's been presented to you data there is always one sided and that you have no chance to give the broader context to next week the spanish journalist will present their case to the european parliament and at the spanish parliament on wednesday john list on politician no earlier we had a i gave them how support bellamy got i don't think my boss instructed me to
