gang member at the time of the shooting there was another great street gang member with each person that was killed victim of the murder and according to the game code he asked to make amends for allowing a gang member to be killed on his own watch. if he doesn't act or take home some sort of action against the shooter then he will be disciplined by his own gang so. on this scenario that particular gang member. carries out the murder against the great street gang member who provided the gun to the transit and it's all caught on video. this is inside jordan downs it's mid day and you can see there's about 10 to 15 gang members loitering in the parking lot. just going about their daily business. is the group of the gang members several of them loitering you going to see the victim of the shooting
9:31 am
come running. through this area with the suspect shooting behind them. you can see on the game members scatter. and they kind of hang around. because they know it's going to be a street on great street or who's disciplining another member so they sit around and watch where it is that was a rival gang shooting all of them would run out of the way because they'd all be intended targets here the suspect is chasing the victim around the vehicle. and he's just waiting to kill him. here the victim tries to run the suspect shoots him in the hand he falls. and then he comes up and finishes a month. he puts the gun in his back we're going to somebody and then just slowly walks away he has nothing really to fear here in the neighborhood because they're all great street crips gang members and he's banking on the fact that no one's going to go to . testify against him. and you see that nobody's really shocked about it nobody's
9:32 am
talking about it nobody chased down the suspect. and then just go about their daily activities and then obviously homicide will come in and start their investigation. you're the 1st time i was shot 3 times i mean i really didn't realize it until my stomach start burning my stomach start burning i knew something wasn't right so. i went to spit and i want to spit the spitting come all the way out of my mouth they must burn even more as they call ambulance basically and when i got shot the 10 times it was early in the morning i was actually stranded somewhere somebody walked up with his hands behind his back came from behind his back and called me by name and shot me in my face 1st. my face i turned and went to try to run back and i laid it like to go to make me spin like michael jackson would let me go nowhere and so after that the 2 shot with 38 i don't know who had the 38 but i saw the one with
9:33 am
the 45 in my face and i got 45 into it 38 at that point and the humor is poor you say and i was laying there i was saying your brain steals be working so when i'm laying me and i pay as i thought i was going to die because you know he said you do with before you die and i. go out. in like oh. home i could really see out of. this after we get out of the sad face so i just had this was over like a silver dollar then once i got to ask it it was another scary feeling i went through because when i was back to the doctors when really rushing to do it was like they was nobody on a hurdle and i'm sydney i'm trying to say how do i look and my job really opened up the feel like my jaw was broke from when a bullet hits they had to look so now my brain. i mean i was kind of glad the doctors came in at last or really kind of feeling myself and getting around because i had the collapse of the bag zone but right as i'm raising my shirt up and seeing with all this that i'm feeling. i saw all my intestines on the outside. but i had
9:34 am
a heart attack the doctor said i walked in right when i walked in and it was like a whole nother. just went through my head you could you could actually see. and you know that was the experience with bet right there. until some 2530 hoods militant groups working together on the same page in the same model to restore community to save lives so what happens is that they get a shoot in a community get to shoot them our community says this is a good issue the mockumentary and it was the shooting was done from one of the guys i collaborate with at the table he will call me the same in one of my homeboys just got shot in your neighborhood or is that they have the father. in law will deal

9:36 am
realities the reality where we get involved in gang bang the various reasons we could be here all day but the reality for the system is good business. and this one on each other. each other is good business the state of california alone makes $6000000000.00 a year of the prison complex system if you can figure a way to make the 7 plants trillion $1.02 piece you have global peace tonight. you stop the wars not only in the streets but internationally this is more money and. that's why this reality exists. for only office of the firm hold least walking by point let me the point that matt always pointed people. this will make the black community bad when officers arrived people community jobs pointed people don't even know him might want to know
9:37 am
one man own 2 police officer haircuts man you hear a little stronger man showed me that you've been eating a lot this week and i just seen already go by little i mean the no. need to go man. you know are you going. to do some of the attrition work and. money going to be instantly. all the money up in one week. you smoke all the money that you made man one week. and it's hard to do like trisha work and money come come hard man and do just blow all the money where. are you way about he looked like he used to weigh like a 100 pounds you know we. are not the rooms you see him close down so we're learning to read his journalism through. his clothes his clothes is wearing. you know.
9:38 am
one of the reasons i became an attorney was to help people because you know what i was a little girl i noticed that there were a lot of drugs in the community a lot of gangs in the community and i found 2 bodies dead bodies that had been overdosed on heroin they were in the alley all run to the 1st and mechanically and i knew they were because my cousin was a heroin addict and i knew and one of the women i knew her little girl and i knew her and i had seen her when she was alive so i was in 3rd grade when i saw these bodies then fast forward a little bit farther in the future and then crack came into the community and my little cousin was a victim of that and so just saying what that did to the community i decided to open our facility were. whining why use drugs they can't get a job maybe will have been tagged with melanie's for low level offenses when she
9:39 am
tagged with a felony you're serving a life sentence on the installment plan basically you are going to go in and out of jail because you've got to come out and be faced with i have a felony so i can have public housing like imperial courts i can be with my family because i am a felony. you stand on the streets trying to figure out how to get a job you can't get a job because you have to check the box and if you're a felon you most people won't employ you you can't get public housing public health you can't get medicare medicaid if you have a felony man names and they will incarcerate and actually it's drug related ok as we're finding and that's why these prisons are so overcrowded now because of drugs so what we're finding is when they come out they can't get treatment because my facility is based on medicare and i can't serve the women and melanie's so it's a catch 22 and it keeps bringing people back around to the same place where they can manage our they can't find housing they can't get medical treatment they may be depressed at this point. won't be able to get any treatment for their mental health
9:40 am
issues and so therefore it just becomes a vicious cycle that keeps repeating itself over and over. male black and. white. you're going to want to be coming out a. little bit in that little iron lady printer. narcotics news doing surveillance on a narcotic said to me in the midst of gardens which is funny kind of blunt which is my game for the last 15 years. so we're going to try to take down the cellar right now. let's pick up the very start you know. so funny kind of blood from one of the largest and most violent gangs in the country. make tremendous profits on selling. at any given
9:41 am
time inside the water here and using these 3 to 5 are not part of the selling day and all of just to call her cell it's just this gentleman story is just selling on the streets to locate it on the t.v. and a local transit rochus less somebody goes by. now a lot of times to. the world is driven by dreamers shaped past and present those words.
9:42 am
the day there's things. we dare to ask. this is a story of women and women with troubled histories and complex court cases you know for some of us daily leave off whole lives out there. where not. the person that there is a cheesiness of the day are considered the most dangerous of criminals she's in a still. all the office 23 hours of the day tell me that it's not enough and it led world of women on death row.
9:43 am
yes. school here i don't know if it's really for me. so you had it all man oh i'm also me with my own just so we live it was a lot. going on. you gotta keep this place through nobody's very innocent or your album do i know how long you've been sitting here obviously one of those couple minutes trying. you know they haven't checked did you say it's in his . ear but i think that's what that's where he keeps it. yeah i mean let me check with these guys right now. you can see red snake is
9:44 am
a jacket has read everything is consistent with gang activity. this is their territory bonnie hunt blogs nobody else's territory you better have a mission to be in here if you can rival gang and if you're not. this gang has a different sets of cliques to the gang and they're broken up into crews they got you shooters they recruit the dope dealers or crew your robbery suspects a cruise this gentleman here is part of savage squad it's a click of the body on a bloods that responsible for street robberies home invasions look at store robberies. and they take pride in that and a tattoo themselves they take the legions to each other and that crew you see arms so this is from their christian gardens this is $112.00 street that's his clip me h.w. for money on a watch. and then this is be ip instead of rest and peace it's bonding and peace and that's his home. there rival gangs crave street so they'll have $107.00 which
9:45 am
is the pinnacle for murder. street with that she crossed out. you're telling everybody that you killed a great street and. everybody comes out to check on these guys in a report back to other gang members so why they're being stopped as you can. see behind us 120 i think it's 127 i want to look is a unit that's selling our cocks so as much as a concern about these guys i'm more concerned about the money inside of me with his hand gun side and narcotics inside so they'll move this location right will mean they can set up shop somewhere else. all these guys are here a customers whenever you see a group or transients hanging around you know that there's a narcotic location within 50 to 70 feet and they set up camp here and that's all they do is smoke all day long but these guys again it's everything's full circle so these guys now are your car thieves your burglarious because they have to feed their habit and a gang members know that so it's just a revolving door here. is enough from that enough to take. the other suspect into
9:46 am
custody for sales a narcotic so tyson's going to bring him back to the station people for sales. i. i. i i. was going. to buy vocational pastor is extremely difficult i work full time as a special agent for the u.s. department of justice office of the inspector general and that is. a position in which i investigate f.b.i. agents the agents u.s. attorneys and others. it's difficult to to handle both jobs well
9:47 am
and i've been pretty successful of both areas. i believe that it's imperative for me to continue in my career in the federal government because. as a role model in both areas of life so people when they come to our church and they found out that number one i am by vocational that that's impressive to be because they want to know how i can hold it all together and secondly because i am a man of god and i treat everyone fairly no matter where i'm at. i believe that is our primary responsibility because the god that we serve is a god of 2nd chances and i am so pleased that we have so many people in our parish that have been rehabilitated people been formerly incarcerated former
9:48 am
drug addicts former prostitutes gay members and we accept everyone as they are and we let them know that hey they may have made mistakes in the past but they are god is a forgiving god and a merciful god we're here to tell. what happens with so many people the wind up being homeless is that they've had opportunities that have presented to the self that maybe they haven't been able to take advantage of it. oftentimes they shut down. for me. i had a brother homeless and eventually died on the streets and it's very difficult to deal with someone who has really given up on life. when you think about the sheer numbers of individuals who find themselves homeless in los angeles we're talking about estimates 38 to 45. 1000 people on
9:49 am
a nightly basis find themselves only this 4 door. exists between south los angeles and downtown los angeles. sutro in l.a. compton watts up on skid row skid row's a diverse community you know folks won't run. see guys that i know you know if they're in our group and your role in the mission and they go to jail and they end up in a county jail for 7 months by the case and i always said you know they go to court the case is over the fight oh it wasn't you just please go. you know what happens if a guy have a job you know lost a job i know we all pay a rate you know it's very few people have their own home you know so by the time you get out your apartment is gone you know all this stuff is. going to go to 90 days to come pick up your property you know as their music so you're into music every day. so you get out you have nowhere to go you have no money you know what do
9:50 am
you do you come skid row to get a road is the only place you can we see you roll and you write something to get some clothes and hopefully you know design is not to go find a show to be you know is going to get into a program. hire an estimate of disconnection from the labor market for african-americans is around 60 percent for african-americans between the ages of 18 and roughly $45.00 so think about think about you have a population in 2012 about 500000 african-americans who reside within the city of los angeles which is 459 square miles and a large percentage of them the greater number of are not connected to work in los angeles one in 18 african-americans own homes the national homeless population. in this 50 square block area it's about 4500 but when we talk about south central los
9:51 am
angeles combines south central los angeles home osama's combined with downtown los angeles homelessness we're talking about 20000 people skid row. exists within the center of power in los angeles and i think it's important to note that skid row thievin in los angeles california is a well kept secret this is the epicenter this is the epicenter of poverty and if you can't fix it here you can't fix it. the largest amount of homeless people are african-american children because of you render why and why many homeless and she has 3 children what happens is there's not a lot of housing for women and children so the woman goes into transitional housing by herself and those 3 kids usually get split into different foster 0 homes and at
9:52 am
that point they may never really see each other as a family again and and that's the most one of the most heart wrenching things because the kids will tell me i had my little 16 year old boy and you know boys are supposed to cry 0 and i saw a tear about to form a design he said mistakes and i didn't do anything wrong i don't understand why this is happening to me and. it was very sad and i was like you know he didn't do anything wrong but his life had been turned upside down. and i can't tell him that his life is ever going to get better. or ever since time when the kids are going to get the kids ok in the teacher spends time think the teacher gets the kids and the parents spend time they get the kids if the gang spends time they get the kids more often than not the gang is the one that spends a time when the kids and so they do get that sense of community from them because there's a very dysfunctional family unit there's you know they're not everybody needs some kind of support and nurturing and some sense of belonging and appreciate. so i got
9:56 am

10:00 am
welcoming our viewers from around the world live from central london this is also u.k. . the prime minister boris johnson remains in intensive care about a month in hospital after his coronavirus symptoms worse and as the daily death toll reaches over 750 the highest number yet i'll be talking to a dog very shortly. from the stand in for rob claims the lockdown must continue but that's his economists estimate it's costing the country 2400000000 pounds a day i'll be speaking to form a leader of the liberal democrats and one time business secretary said vince cable . also the front line medics treating patients with 19 claims they are forced to
10:01 am
make that protective equipment from improvised materials that says research suggests. underestimating the number of doctors. with the virus. the prime minister remains in intensive care at some thomas' hospital in london after he was moved last night due to worsening coronavirus symptoms that says the data told in england hits $758.00 now that is the highest so far. is live outside the hospital where the prime minister is so well. what is the latest then on boris johnson. what we know of cool stuff the prime minister be suffering with code 98 offsets about 54 it around 10 days ago but towards the end of last week the reports confirmation apart from downing street that the prime
10:02 am
minister continued to show symptoms that on sunday night he was taken to hospital here to tell this is hospital which is just over the river from downing street and from us. house of parliament but last night it would appear that the prime minister's condition. for the us because he was taken to intensive care when he remains oh not just to spite and they should be at even the day downing street and all that up attend school staying that's the promise that was ok and i'm not comfortable. in the hospital but i'm holding to the same sources i have out in st augustine are still in good spirits and is despite big an intensive care not receiving treatment without any ventilators or intrusive 3 think the platelets. the prime minister has been stable overnight and remains in good spirits he is receiving standard oxygen treatment and is breathing
10:03 am
without any other assistance he has not required mechanical ventilation or noninvasive spirit trees. now images that we can see from the helicopters flying above showing the hospitals in thomas' where the prime minister is being treated and while he is here dominick rob will be the acting prime minister for all intents and purposes he is the 1st minister of state he's also the foreign secretary and he will be taking over the normal responsibilities for handling the coated $900.00 prices however he won't have to the how the power was given to him he was be holding weekly calls with the queen and he also wants to be able to change any positions within the cabinet although we understand the cabinet themselves they will if they have to make any decisions based on a decision made by all of the members of the cabinet so the talk of collective
10:04 am
responsibility if you will now the prime minister has received good wishes from all the leading members of state from the french president manuel macro on taking to twitter yesterday evening to wish the prime minister a speedy recovery and also a scottish 1st minister because studs and taking the opportunity to extend well wishes to the problems for. the prime minister as well as leading the u.k. government response is currently in hospital facing his old past in a battle against coronavirus actually the meeting of the scottish government's cabinet this morning and we to cordiant our very best wishes to him and so now you and i'm should i do this on behalf of all of scotland i want to say and every good wish to head to his fiance and to his whole family we are all willing you on board us get we'll soon. now we are waiting for the latest figures of those who have lost their lives often testing positive for code 90 in the hold
10:05 am
off you don't stick to do already have the figures to england and over the most recent 24 hour period of the ignition the death toll the death toll of english patients has risen by a massive 758 that's following 2 days of a downward trend where the numbers were lower all across the u.k. so that's a really steep tacuba jump in the numbers of those who've died and we are expecting to see that number to grow even further when we get the official figures from the other countries around the united kingdom and then later this afternoon at 5 pm like every other day throughout this crisis we will be getting that update from downing street at this stage not clear yet who will be giving it but like i mentioned just a moment ago dominic robb now in charge in the prime minister's absence. is really thank you very much indeed for that live update there from central london well for more all the prime minister's condition i'm now joined by dr david bull david good
10:06 am
to see you know not to you k. now the prime minister is in intensive care standard oxygen but not on a ventilator what does that mean well i think what it shows really is just the human tragedy behind this disease you know i think it shocked a lot of people that the prime minister and i think many people saw him as someone who was in number 10 downing street giving out these really warm sentiments saying you know everything will be fine and for him suddenly to be admitted into hospital and to then be transferred to intensive care means that actually his condition is worsening now there are conflicting reports are spoken to some of my medical colleagues who are working in that hospital now and there is no doubt that he will have received oxygen and obviously they're being very careful you know he's the prime minister so you have got to make sure that they do everything and they go over and above what they could possibly humanly do so he's been given oxygen i've also heard. he has been given say power now that is what is called continuous positive airways pressure that keeps the airways open to allowing his lungs to
10:07 am
inflate with oxygen one of the problems with this disease is that you can't actually ventilate your lungs properly but there is a trade off we don't want to intervene too early but at the same time you don't want to intervene too late so the point about using something like see is it will help him to oxygenate his blood and that's something that they would have decided with caution so from what i understand and the reports are right there he hasn't been integrated and he's not going to light it can you put a prognosis on the likelihood of recovery for someone in this situation well he has a number of risk factors against him i you know there's i don't think it surprises anyone when i say he's overweight that's something that will count against him i don't know whether he has any underlying medical conditions the good thing is he is under 60 we know those people under 60 do better i think he's 55 or thereabouts but
10:08 am
the figures speak for themselves and last night when i heard that he'd been admitted i was gravely concerned because when you look at the numbers across the world those people if he is on c pap and that's what i've heard what those figures normally show is that you tend to move from say power to being ventilated in about 60 percent of cases within 24 hours now it may be that they instigated it early in which case you can come off and hopefully that is the case but i really suggest people do not really underestimate the severity of this it all stated his very clear indication that so many people feel it is the elderly the vulnerable those with underlying health conditions and as you said earlier here is a man who's just 55 yeah i mean i think that's right we've said all along it's those people with chronic conditions like heart disease risk disease diabetes immunosuppression and being over 60 but what this shows more and. one thing it and we know this from other cases this virus does not discriminate it doesn't matter
10:09 am
whether you're rich or your poor 'd whether you're young or you're old and that is why we are saying stay home say protect the n.h.s. and save lives so what do you say to people who feeling unwell because on sunday he was admitted as a precaution he said he was in good spirits and suddenly got. quickly very sick hasn't he since sunday he has and this is the problem with the disease because what we say is that you have a long incubation period up to 14 days and then you seem to have this initial illness with a slightly right raise temperature and a persistent cough and from what i've gathered from other cases that people seem to be getting better and then you get hit by another wave of it so this seems to be as the inflammatory mediators then overtake the body's reactions so the thing to say to people is if you are feeling unwell stay at home because the point is that that hospitals are not a place you want to go unless you are in extremis you know the medical staff are working around the clock to ensure the safety of those patients so make sure that you've got someone that you can rely on at home drink plenty of fluids and try to
10:10 am
stay hydrated and how long could the recovery be after you've recovered from that 2nd wave as you say you just. obviously the 1st part if you get through that ok the 2nd wave when you have those breathing problems and as we see with the prime minister just just how long will your quality of life be affected after that i think it all depends how severe the treatment is that sense to go to because if you are on see happen if you will then ventilated coming off a ventilator is not easy and of course everyone is different so they the nature of the disease in every single person will be different but this is a long term healing process you know he is not going to be bouncing back to work anytime soon then we can we take some sort of the fact that many people are getting this and experiencing mild symptoms and surely therefore many are recovering just as many who are getting infected when we see that surgeon recoveries yeah that's absolutely right and of course we need to underline this 80 percent of people who get this condition. well gets a miles condition and of course the biggest problem for us in the u.k. is we have no idea how many people have been infected we haven't been testing so we
10:11 am
have no idea of the spread of cases or where they are in the country and of course we don't have antibody tests and these are the tests that show you whether you've been infected in the past and for me this is the holy grail because if we can show that you've been infected we can start to release that lock down the cost of 2000000000 pounds a day to the u.k. economy but equally we need people to get out and about to then support those 1500000 vulnerable people who need to stay isolated are convinced as partly by the effectiveness of these antibody tests because there is of course some concern that they simply don't work at this stage so i my understanding is that once the government bought don't work i think they have a 30 percent efficacy rate i know there are many companies trying many of these antibody tests at the moment and the point is that that's why they've been delayed we're not going to roll them out until we know that they're effective but they have good sensitivity and good specificity because you don't want false negatives and you don't want false positives i have no doubt that we will get a good test but it's all
10:12 am
a matter of time today the bill great to talk to you today thank you so much for being with us not eating. while the man turns for stepping in for boris johnson dominic robb is downplayed the possibility of lifting the lockdown the foreign secretary said that the current rules must continue to be in force to slow the spread of the virus the risk right now is if we take our focus off the strategy which is beginning to work is that we won't get through the peak as fast as we need to which is why it's perfectly legitimate to ask the question but the government's overriding priority has got to be to keep up the work that and the commitment that so many people have made to make sure that we maintain the social distancing we stop the spread we protect the unit just as we come through the peak. the lockdown applies to all 4 home nations and the 1st minister of wales has called for a cobra meeting to review it not draycott said it's necessary to look at the restrictions as the initial 3 week knock down period draws to a close meanwhile experts are concerned about the impact of
10:13 am
a continued shutdown on the economy estimates suggest the lockdown could cost the country around $2400000000.00 pounds daily the center for economics and business research says that g.d.p. will reduce by around 30 percent as people are forced to stand home and others predict that the economy could be hit by 30 percent in the 2nd financial quarter from april through to june if the lockdown remains whom are consumer confidence is at its lowest level since the financial crash nearly $1000000.00 people applied for universal credit at the end of last month 10 times the average. what are the all of the latest developments further i'm now joined by former leader of the liberal democrats and former business secretary said vince cable since really good of you to join is the softer one thank you can we start with the prime minister what kind of medical team would high profile politicians have around them well i would hope he gets very measured treatment season. term successful no question starr had
10:14 am
a very brief. encounter there about 10 years ago. and like everybody else are going you know i just wish him well it's very important. leader of the country as soon as possible. and what you make of his attempts to keep running the country when he was pretty am well stay for the last week or so and now all of a sudden he's now in intensive care well it's a lot we don't know about us hope that he has our medical advice. do you worry that sometimes we're not necessarily getting all the information on sunday it was just described as a precaution of him going to hospital that the government being transparent here do you think well i don't want to criticize i mean that you know we're a pretty open transparent country where we are getting regular reports from what the prime minister's condition is and show that he has been medical advice. but i can't see anything inappropriate in what's happening let's talk about the economic
10:15 am
impact here on the country the moment the lockdowns some saying it's what 2400000000 pounds a day how sustainable is that. well it's not sustainable in the long run i managed to put a against percentage terms which i think people spend a bit easier to get them that the actual numbers the g.d.p. that the economy is running about 30 percent below what you'd expect it's trend now let's supposing an optimistic to be that this keep it remains the next 3 months and we don't know the relief of the lock down in the summer maybe then there's a 50 percent below trend in the in the in the 3rd quarter and then we'll return to normal well ducks at 10 percent just over 10 percent cuts in the economy we've never had anything as bad as that even in the financial crisis say it's a very big hit and that is the optimistic view it could be that we take a long time to recover not some things have been damaged they and it may not may

not be easy to replace credit from financial institutions will kind of things could happen and it could be we get into a saloon w. shaped recovery as. suggested by the return of the virus in places about singapore that seem to have got on top of it and it could be that we don't recover but we just have a lot of damage that just remains indefinite they post this happened out of a 2008 shock we went on so much you know levels of productivity and other western countries that the senate is a bang in months of very starting consequences you're talking about do we not have to balance the economy with health at some point is get it's going to be an acceptable death rate at which we've reopened the business. well i think you're asking the right question and that i mean i have absolutely no time for the president trump but he has raised that is c.e.o. of our costs and benefits and tradeoffs and at the moment i think everybody is
10:17 am
comfortable or at least accepting the advice of the epidemiologists and the specialists and it's right that we do so but it is also right to begin to us the question you know what are the costs and what are the benefits of this approach when when we're dealing with wins you know right from death questions about new drivers we don't quantify we try to quantify the benefits in terms of life saved as against say and the cost the financial costs involves a very hard headed cannot run the bloodlust calculation and we may have to start asking that kind of question on a macro level for the whole epidemic but at the moment i'm you know i think that nobody would want to question they scientific advice that we're being given and should give advice what about economic advice what would you say to the government to try and stimulate growth again once this is all beginning to calm down a bit from you will experience what would you say well at the moment they have
10:18 am
obviously not stipulating directly trying to stop that and that's the whole point about the lockdown but once we get to a point where they restraints on production are removed then it's a question of then breathing some life back into the economy getting people spending getting businesses investing well or that we are going to be faced with a running very very large government deficit because it sends the government is supporting the economy. debt levels are going to get very very uncomfortable in britain and dates around the world and there will then be quite a big economic debate about how do we handle the legacy them and do we try to pay these off or is it the self through inflation is a ticket converted through. to. the money supply there are some very interesting and important questions there which we should trust begin to figure out if this if there's shutdown is for a long period of time. very large amounts of government deaths are going to

forgotten about sharing this time. influx of patients suffering from the virus means there's already a shortage of intensive care beds while operating theatres have been commandeered to handle intensive care unit overflow this is led to some surgery being perspiring such as heart operations with many patients left unsure when their procedures will go ahead a pandemic is also there to the cancellation of a wide range of clinic appointments as well as mental health services or one deal struck between the government and 3 private cancer clinics means that thousands of priority cases will now receive treatment outside the n.h.s. but the strain on n.h.s. resources that led many patients with serious health issues frame that they will become hidden victims of the pandemic while the consequences of delaying some operations such as heart surgery could be fatal. well for more on this i'll be joined in the next hour by consultant cardiologist dr a see if cutscene. a frontline surgeon has taken to social media to warn people

radio 3 has been encouraged to play classical music by living composers instead of the likes of mozart and beethoven to help them financially you're in lockdown the ivers academy which represents british composers says the royalty payments would help musicians and introduce the public to lesser known works most artists are self employed and despite the government pledge to pay 80 percent of average profits over 3 years incomes in the music industry can vary substantially years a year in response the radio 3 controller said he was focused on keeping the station on air and that playing the music of living composers is already part of the plan or critics are concerned that such music simply isn't as popular chair of the ivers akademi i should say chair of the ivers academy classical committee gary carpenter told us morton classical music is actually very accessible. a lot of music that performs. that is actually starting copyright novolin williams stravinsky shostakovich and so forth so it's not really so much

i don't trust medical authority at all ever and the reason for that is i had this horrible autoimmune disorder growing up and it turns out it was completely alleviated with very drastic dietary measures and i went to a number of doctors to discuss what happened to me and i was basically laughed at like diet has nothing to do with autoimmune disorders so my suggestion to people who have health issues they can't figure out if they're going to see a medical professional and they've been going for 10 years and they're still in the same place they should probably take it upon themselves to start testing things out testing out diet testing out exercise and try and figure out things on their own.
