we're joined by caroline lucas. the executive director for the coalition of kaiser permanente unions. caroline, thank you for being with us this afternoon. have you heard from negotiators with the company, now that the strike has begun, what's the latest on the negotiations? >> hi. thank you so much for having me. there is a need to negotiate, this is so critical that we can't afford to wait for solutions. >> so, caroline, when it comes to what you're actually hearing from the company, have they made any concessions that are getting closer to what you and the other workers have asked for? >> we have reached minor agreements on some matters, but we're waiting for real comprehensive plans for how we -- staff. >> so, on the question what this means for patients, who ultimately is filling in for those that are on strike today? how is that working out? >> you know, we know patients are understanding health care providers part of kiaiser, they know that kaiser has the best possible patient care. kaiser generally has -- hea

group of mps, the tory mp but also labour mps, richard and imran, as well as a green party mp, caroline lucasinister that while they condemned the actions of hamas, they argued that israel had been inflicting collective punishment on palestinian people and questioned whether israel's actions had been in line with international law. then you had from another perspective the conservative mp, michael ellis, asking the prime minister to agree with him that israel had followed international law. so clearly this is an issue that is increasingly dividing mps here in the house of commons. i think what was notable is that the prime minister did not answer that question directly, nor did the foreign secretary when asked about this on the weekend. many ministers are being incredibly careful what they say when asked whether or not they think israel has been complying with international law in its response to the attacks ljy law in its response to the attacks by hamas. at the prime minister did say in response, again, something under the other ministers have acted as a reiteration of his position that isr

caroline lucas, the executive director for the coalition of kaiser permanente unions and ultrasound tech georgette bradford. good morning to both of you. thank you for waking up with us this morning. i want to caucus about kaiser permanente's statement in a moment. first, staffing shortage and what it's doing to health care workers and patients. what has it been like? >> you know, thank you for asking that question, omar. as an ultrasound technologist request kaiser for 20 years, i have never seen it this bad. for me in the facility, my co-workers are stressed. they are burned out. leading to injuries. and we are also losing fellow co-workers to the burnout and the heavy workload because of the kyrie short saiser short st crisis. i work in a breast imaging center. a lot of my patients are coming in pause they feel a lump or because something's been seen on their mammogram. and when they are delayed by weeks, by weeks, to get their exam, the amount of torture and anguish and worry that is inflicted on my patients not only is unacceptable, but i feel it's immoral. and i wouldn't want that

and certainly my view is that the calls from caroline lucas to make lying a criminal offence by mps ,, i mean, this is absolutely ridiculous . after all the left i ridiculous. after all the left i think, lie all the time. you look at project fear, the endless lies about the supposed impact out of brexit coming from left wing politicians. and so there's a huge amount of hypocnsy there's a huge amount of hypocrisy that comes from the left when they call for this. also, it's very onnell in in my view , to call for investigation view, to call for investigation into to what mps are saying, whether or not it's the truth , whether or not it's the truth, who decides that and so i do think that this is this is a ludicrous call from the left who are, of course, as guilty as anyone of making endless lies. and we saw that especially dunng and we saw that especially during the brexit campaign with project fear. i mean, jenny, the thing is, with stuff like this , thing is, with stuff like this, it could backfire quite easily where every single politician is done for lying because they haven't stuck

lucas: with the ufc, people doubted him. he got disney to pay him a fortune. it inflated the value of ufc by billions. caroline: go into that element of trying to explain to investors what his business is about. he keeps turning to the idea that he is misunderstood. lucas: when endeavor first went public, they called it off. people didn't know what they were buying. then they had all these other things. professional bull fighting. no one knew how to value it. it is still a hangover. p ko. they have all these other assets in endeavor, which owns a big piece of tko. a lot of his media appearances, so far it has not worked. ed: he is regarded as a super agent. he goes into details about deals. i was surprised to hear that. lucas: the tyler perry one, i don't know if it had been announced. i assume he was referring to this nfl project david allison is doing with netflix. ari is a little more transparent than most media executives. caroline: later on, who have you got? lucas: we have the co-ceo of netflix at 10:00 pacific. we have the ceo of youtube. the king of k pop. brian lord. bill simmons. kris jenner. it's go
