and people of flint we haven't forgotten you. my pleasure thank you for having me and i hope everybody continues to think about those there's another self-inflicted crisis looming children are vaporing t.v. commercials from category dominant jewel offer that their products can wean grownups off cigarettes but aren't for kids the commissioner of the u.s. food and drug administration a doctor is not happy the f.d.a. has the power to ban cigarettes and commissioner gottlieb threatens that if the youth use continues to rise and we see significant increases in use in twenty nineteen on top of the dramatic rise in twenty eighteen the entire category will face an existential threat how serious is the threat to children's health let's ask dr dominic got siana the author of well now today's comprehensive health and wellness guide he practices internal medicine in chicago doc how addictive is nicotine. and you can see it's very addictive i've counseled addiction for twenty years and i think is secondary to the heroin and i've gotten people

karen: what happened in flint was criminal.s that have been poisoned, and actually a whole community, but we know that kids under the age of six and pregnant and nursing mothers will be impacted for the rest of their lives. when you have people who have died as a result of legionnaires, what they are looking at now at the high cases of miscarriages and stillbirths that took place during that time. one of the things they are looking at now -- and i am talking about the medical community -- are some of the numbers of deaths attributed to pneumonia. and they are wondering if that was really legionnaires and what was going on there. and when you look at the mental health implications, i was talking with someone earlier and i was saying it is really easy to put a cost on infrastructure, and what we need that way. but when we look at the human cost, the human factor, we do not know what that is going to be. some of it, we are going to have to wait and see what happens. carol: is it a reminder that our society puts values on people di

first order of business in michigan, her first executive order on day one this week was about the flint water disaster, with multiple rick snyder officials facing criminal -- excuse me, rick snyder officials facing including manslaughter charges for role in causing and covering up and lying about the flint disaster, the first thing the new democratic governor of michigan did this week was sign an executive order requiring state officials to immediately report health and safety threats the way that snyder officials did not when the city of flint was being poisoned and people were dying because of it. there is a national impact. there is a big american impact to these things, right? paul le page is gone in a puff of smoke now. rick snyder is gone, democratic governors replacing both of them and immediately moving to try to fix the worst damage that those governors inflicted on their states. in washington, d.c., democrats, led by a democratic woman speaker, they only get to take over part of the government, and we are therefore still stuck. for example, in this shutdown, as long as the rep

ofjanet in flint has had his eviction quashed for decades later after the real killer was caught dueccording to official statistics. figures show thatjust over four and a half thousand people were sleeping outside on a single night, down 2% from 2017. earlier we spoke to our social affairs correspondent michael buchanan who explained the stats. a single night snapshot, they have a count of the number of people out on a particular night. a mixture of counting and estimates. essentially they have gone down by about 2% on last year, that is the first fall since 2010, it is only a small fall, but certainly it will be welcomed by the government. the fall in the number has been driven by what has been happening in the rest of england as opposed to in london. in london the numbers have actually gone up by 13% this year, and in the rest of england they have gone down by 6%, so there is evidence that people are coming to the capital, and if you look at the detail, coming to cities as opposed to leaving some of the surrounding areas. you mention that this counting is done on a single night. ho

thed: well, you picked right city, because i'm a native of flint, michigan.ave known that, but i know the city well. what do you have to contribute that you do not see any of your fellow democrats contributed today? is we havewhat i see a lot of people out there that are supposedly fighting for the people. they are not fighting for the people. they run for congress and a run for senate. the majority of them end up being lobbyists later down the road. i am the one saying we need to put body cameras on lobbyists, because if we did, then we could possibly do away with some of the backdoor dealings that go on and start to show true transparency in our government. i think the people really need to go and see what is going on behind the scenes. are not think anyone is willing to say those things. i want to fight and check big pharma. i come from a place that is ground zero for the opioid epidemic. we have people who have thrown their hat in the spring and say they will run for office because they will fight this overview if you haveic, but received campaign contrib

the water in flint is still dirty. >> that is right. alexandria: the water in flint is still dirty.have got children -- van and i were talking about this earlier -- we've got children that are choking on the smoke in california. at the same children in puerto rico are chunking -- choking on the fungal spores because we haven't recuperated from the crisis. the mold from the floods is taking up all of these people's homes. we haven't justices in this country. they are concentrated in frontline communities, indigenous, black and brown communities. they've experienced the greatest injustice, but if we have the moral, political and economic courage to say we will fix all the pipes in flint, we would put a lot of people to work at the same time, and that is what this is about. [applause] bill: van should ask the first question here because van literally wrote the book on green collar economy and green jobs. all, it justrst of brings tears to your eyes to hear you. it is just unbelievable. and you know, bill, bernie, myself and a bunch of other people here, we tried to take this in a big p

we have a nation right now where people think flint, michigan is an anomaly, but it is not. over 1000 of our jurisdictions children have twice the blood lead levels as the children in flint. what cost is that to us? it is a human tragedy. it is morally irresponsible for the most powerful nation to have children living in communities where it's easier to find unleaded gasoline than unleaded water. but we know we have a nation that if you have an elevated blood level -- you don't even need lead poisoning -- that child's success in life goes down. their productivity goes down. their executive functions are un inhibited. it's more likely for them to get in trouble. these are not left-right issues, these are just about how we make our country strong, economically vibrant and how we make ourselves successful. i remember -- i got down to the senate and met with both sides of the political aisle, which i did. to have friendships and relationships. i remember talking to one senator. i can show you evidence-based how to invest a dollar of taxpayer money to save $5 to $7 for taxpayers.

there's the reverend west virginia a few years ago, and most recently of flint, michigan which has become the poster child for our need to improve risk communication to impact event affected communities. how we communicate risk disproportionately underserved communities. they are the ones who often live, work or go to school near areas with environmental hazards. they are most impacted by how well or how poorly we communicate risk to them. epa owes it to the american public to be able to explain in very simple and easy to understand terms what are the risks that they face in their daily lives. i've made this a priority to our regional offices and i'm proud to say we're already seeing progress. take the city of st. joseph, missouri. older neighborhoods throughout the city there are still homes covered in lead paint. from 2010 until 2015, 15% of children tested in st. joseph had elevated lead levels. that's more than three times the national average of 4% and responds of a new lead task force. they were closely with the community to increase awareness and dangers of lead paint and help fami

in flint, one the former buick facility, buick city and at our airport.ve also had now for half a decade drinking water contamination through lead exposure as a result of highly corrosive water eroding the distribution system and leaching lead into the drinking water. thankfully congress stepped in in 2016 and provided resources. we are fixing the pipes, replacing the service lines and improving the water distribution system, providing health support to the families that have been impacted. the flint story is a good example of what happens when a community has its water source contaminated. there is an immediate impact, you have got to clean up the problem, there is a health impact that is longer-term. people affected need help support in order to overcome the challenges presented as a result of being exposed, whether it is led or pfas, or whatever and then there is a longer-term economic impact. the flint story should serve as a warning and i know it is one of the reasons we are so anxious to move on this issue. we don't want other communities to go thro

earlier, my colleague shaun ley spoke to windsor davies's co—star tn t—a. , in t half flint mum.uys. i considered him, really, my best friend, even though we hadn't been in communication for many years. to work with him was a pleasure. he was so generous. he was generous in his work. he was generous in... in every way. you couldn't actually ever buy him a drink, because you'd go into a public house and they'd say, oh, windsor has put some money behind the counter for everybody. presumably he was not very like the character he played. nothing like him. he was a charming, quietly spoken, gentle human being. he was a lovely, lovely man. he said that when he started tv he did not know one end of a camera from the other, yet by the time he started it ain't half hot mum, his comedy timing was brilliant. when he auditioned for the part, he went in and did it in a cockney accent and they said, why are you doing that? and he said, sergeant majors just talk like that, don't they? and they said to him, no, you're welsh — we want you to play it as you are. he terrified me, working with him.

you've got other mps like caroline flint who've said quite patently that as far as she's concerned, for to a second referendum would represent a betrayal. but they're properly reflecting their views but also they're reflecting the views of their constituents. so what we've been able to do as a party is establish a process where people can express their views but then we arrive at a democratic decision and we've done that at each stage and that's what we're doing now. but my point is that these are characters who will actually not, even if you whip votes, they will not agree to follow the labour party line. so that represents to me, a split. with great respect, that isn't necessarily the case. people have expressed strong views in the past but when the parties come to a democratic decision, the vast majority have abided by it. i think the last vote, we lost about three of our members voting with the tories if i remember, maybe four. yeah. how much does it matter to you that the labour party membership — according to polling evidence, which is pretty substantial, and significant over time

so then what we have seen over the past couple of months is guys like manafort, flint, there's been a lot of fire there and they paid the price from the legal perspective and the white house has been quick to say, that's those guys, it's not the boss. it's not donald trump. now we have a situation where the fbi is, we now know, has started the investigation against him. first of all, i don't envy the fbi guys. you don't just walk in and say i think i'm going to start an investigation against the president of the united states. there's serious thresholds that you have to get over to get into that part and start the investigation and of course they were told well, we have special counsel now that's been working on this, but predictably, the white house has come out with this deep state stuff which is ludicrous, having spent 30 years in the cia and working with a lot of fbi guys, this is not a political move. this is not something that you do. this is because there's special legal and regulatory thresholds that have to be met before you can start an investigation like this. >> i want to

. >> you have to understand, i'm a little kid from flint, michigan.blows my mind. this is the same story that each one of these acts have. they're incredible. these are guys that have been practicing these things in their basements, rooms, jgyms, wherevr they're at. they're singing to a small group and all of a sudden you're on the world stage. simon gives you a chance to blow your thing up. they become worldwide superstars. best of the best. >> back to your world and your life, you were up against of struggles. i'm sure people told you you can't, you won't be able to do it. when you were on your what made you say this isn't going to be my last day trying, i'm goingo go one more day. what was it? >> there are several different inspirations for that. when i look at the people who never got a chance. in my life i had family members eyat say one day, i wish i could have. never did it. they tell you i wish one day i would have done that. and they missed it. that's not going to be me. >> how did you get tt courage be like, you know what? i'm going for it.

way around would be better and then you could have bedside tables on both sides of the vita is the flint. plan so no one is a die hard powerhouse afficionado. his home here on the estate designed by a typical p.s. is his castle. an annoying option i'm having a new garage added it was really hard to find one that suited the house but then i'm obsessed with bob house well thought through zeerust i wanted something very specific fortunately i had something to go by. myself hoping the copious master's house still has an intact garage so i used that as my. over it was hard but i found a company where they could build it for me with the promise concrete which is even eco friendly and make something that will look very promising as a ball of article simple to. be a stroke for efficiency lucian's he tested out new building materials and prefabricated parts that could be made in series production. the construction site was like an industrial production line with several houses under construction at once. the limited budgets called for ingenious architectural solutions. you're here behind the show

every single one from flint on down was air tight. my point about the family and why the white house should be n concerned is now we know there's direction from the people in the white house who lied and i suspect some to the mueller team, did they lie as well? that is one of my take aways from the report. who directed stone when they spoke to special counsel, did they do the same thing everybody else did and say i didn't really know about it and if they did, they're in trouble, don. >> anything else that stands out to you? >> in the way they haven't characterized wikileaks. there's nothing to suggest even if they were exchanging this information with wikileaks or anyone in the campaign, there's nothing here that says that was a crime. the crime that we keep seeing that have been committed in this entire investigation -- >> lying. >> -- is lying. and the question is what is going on? why were people consistently lying? has to be for political reasons. they didn't want to damage on the don and his chances for being elecced. they knew t

there's places across the u.s., flint, michigan, that don't have clean water. do you have a plan to address that? >> sure do. i heard 50% of your water is polluted. >> over 750 waterways. >> that's bad. we have similar problems in my state. i'm familiar with it. the county i live, we have pfoa in our water. there are families who have -- their water has been polluted by manufacturers who manufacture plastics and other chemicals. their children have higher levels of pfoa in their blood than -- 100 times normal. it's so frightening for these moms and dads. they don't know how to protect their kids. they don't know what the outcome will be. one thing that i think is common ground is all of us want to protect our children. all of us, no matter where you live, red, purple or blue, everyone wants to make sure our children can drink safe water, the air won't cause asthma attacks. one place i represent, the asthma rate is so high because there's so many highways that the pollution and toxins get absorbed by the kids. they miss school. if the teachers don't have asthma

we going to detroit and flint with love, we go to texas and los angeles and chicago, we go into our locallike a money uttered prayer, like the one in, like a threat. we go as black women and political positions, and atlanta and charlotte, we go forward with names like keisha and val, where you can learn to say schwarzenegger, you can whip learn to fit areca into your mouth. we go like an x across our chest, screaming wakonda forever! love in our heart for the colony and colonizer for the citizen and country, like caretta raising children after the dream was passed, is a woman's work is never done. like now, that real weight there is work to do in our schools, their living dreams to plant them in our churches that are living dreams to plant them in our homes there are living trees to plant. in our lives, there has been an awakening. a drum, growing louder overtime for the alarm clock that sounds like florida evans bellowing james, we must learn to live together as brothers, or parish as fools, i do not believe our mamas raised any fools, did they mentors? so, what do we do now? we go forwa

also doctor bob mcmahon in flint, michigan, and experiential learning based school with a focus on stem and business fields. and the senior vice president for academic affairs at montgomery college, the top community college in maryland that serves about 60,000 students each year. it is a new record. just about one third of about in the united states have a traditional four your college degree which means a lot of people don't. many of those graduates are not prepared to go to a specific job. many are underemployed, many are saddled with a lot of debt. and preparing the next generation of students for the jobs of tomorrow. before we begin, i want to remind the audience you can tweet your questions using hashtag post live. i want to start with mister craig. there is a problem and a lot of possibilities. what do you see as the biggest problem here? what are the chances of success? >> what gets most of the attention around i education is affordability. you can't miss it every week on the front page, student loan debt, $1.5 trillion, $40,000 per college graduate. it is a lot. the fact of th

what i hear from them in my hometown of flint and saginaw is, stop using a crisis of the government itselfin order to solve another problem. people are sick of that. they elected new leadership in the house because they want to see us roll up their sleeves and actually legislate, so seeing the president essentially acting like a spoiled child and say, if i don't get my way -- forget the responsibilities in the house and the senate, if i don't get my way, i'm closing the government down for months or years, that's not what the american people want to see. >> i do want to talk about the planned withdrawal of u.s. troops from syria. president erdogan of turkey says the national security adviser, john bolton, who has made a visit to the region, that he made a mistake, a serious mistake, erdogan called it, when he said the u.s. would only withdraw from syria if turkey pledged not to attack kurdish fighters. they are allies, the kurdish fighters, of the u.s. in the region helping to fight isis. turkey considers the kurds to be terrorists. what do you make of this? president erdogan saying it is

what we've seen over the past couple months is you've seen manafort and flint and there is a lot of fireere. they paid the price from the legal perspective. the question has always been in the white house has been very quick to say, that's those guys. it's not the boss. it's not trump. now we have a situation where the fbi is actually -- we know started the investigation. you know, first of all, i don't envy the fbi guys that decided we need to do this. it is a really serious thing. you don't walk in the morning with a donut and cup of coffee and say, yeah, i think i'm going to start an investigation against the president of the united states. there are some really serious th thresholds. but predictably, the white house has come without this deep state stuff. this is not a political move. you don't get because they fired comey. this is because there are specific legal and regulatory tle thresholds that have to be met. they had that. that's why the investigation moved forward. this is a significant thing. >> i want to bring in now congressman castro. he is on the intelligence committee. h

hello flint, hello toledo. we have a good jobs crisis as coined by former labor secretary.infrastructure crisis in this country. we have a health care crisis in this country. there are plenty of things that this president could be using the power of his office to live and do and make the change. he is propping up his lies to stir up anger among his supporters. this wall is unpopular with the american people. you think this president cares? no. he doesn't care. >> there was talk of some breaks within the president's own party here. you have heard as you often do, not exactly highly critical language from republican lawmakers but questions about how far the president is pushing this. others have come out more directly to reopen the government here. you speak to a lot of republicans. do you sense widespread concern about the president's stand here? >> what i am hearing in talking with folks is that many republicans do want to see progress with regard to reopening the government. certainly, when the first round of paychecks are not dropped in people's mailboxes they are hearing
