ill. it will be allowed the terminally ill to be given sedatives until death and provide for doctors to remove life support. here's the details. >> the two french mps who drew up the law are keen to emphasize the proposals are limited. they will allow doctors to give deep sedation until death to patients in chronic pain. the patients will need to spell out their wishes in a directive that will tie the hands of their doctors. >> these directives will guide the decisions of doctors when it comes to interventions in treatment. they will be binding directives. the things they can contain be fixed by legal decree. >> in belgium and the netherlands, the lagos further. doctors can administer a lethal injection if the patient is in unbearable pain, conscious, and able to express a desire to die. in february, belgian extended this right to terminally ill children. switzerland allows assisted suicide as long as the person takes the lethal drug themselves. meeting clinics attracts crinkly ill patients from all over europe. france has one of the continent's strictest anti-euthanasia laws. mps will debate

it's my opinion that the true nature of mental illness needs to be understood. i don't believe having process or procedures in place to determine whether or not an individual was so severely mentally ill as to not know what that person was doing was wrong or appreciate the nature or consequences of other actions. i don't believe given the circumstances that the situation and protections in place that then an individual can fake it, and remove him or her from the gurney, so to speak. >> what do you think? would it be a manipulatable system, if we try to be specific about who clears the bar and who doesn't? >> i agree with george in large part. very few people are able to ma linger in such a way. i wealthed counsel from government and assumed that they were telling the truth. we're talking about an infetessimal amount of people. the reason why it would be unwise to draw a bright line in this gray area. as richard said, the inzane, that's understandable, the youth who commit murders are not eligible for the death penalty. we get those thanksgiving. those are bright

>> yes, ill be. i was convicted and received a five-year sentence.go to jail if i return to egypt. >> what was the state of play before the anti-mubarak up rising? were there newspapers that were written by people who didn't have people telling them what to write? could you go a radio station and say whatever popped in to your head rather than what people wanted you to say? what was the situation day-to-day for people working in the information business? >> well, it certainly was not a free press then. no. there were somewhat independent newspapers, more than there are now. but most of the media was controlled by the government. certainly most of the -- almost all of the broadcast media was controlled by the government. there were some independent newspapers, but even they were somewhat meek. but it's gotten much worse now. as i said, recently we had a situation where editors of both government-run and private newspapers said they were not challenge the government. they would not print anything that was critical government because they didn't want to

be imprisoned. >> whether a mentally ill inmate can be put to death. >> texas would cross an irrevocable moral line. >> they believe he is faking his illness. >> as ferguson burns, an unarmed group known as the earth keepers has appeared on rooftop patrols. >> men have come to protect small businesses. >> are they really help to go keep the peace. >> a man stopped by police because he was walking outside with his pants in his pact. >> we have a racial profiling problem in america that needs to be resolved. >> it's an incredibly powerful image to see. >> self rams players making the gesture. >> some say it was anally police, but others say politics on the field is a tradition. >> we begin with reports of a potential plot for a holiday season attack by al-qaeda over the skies of europe. the terrorist group wants to target five commercial jet liners before christmas. among the possible counter measures, a ban on carry on backs and a requirement that electronic devices including lap tops, phones and tablets be checked in luggage. counter terrorism officials are concerned the thousands of u.s. and europ

be able to start together, right now, at the end of 2014, with an initial kick off phase, where we ill be the consultant and putting the projects together and identifying the committee followed by an insurance shall planning phase and involved in number two in your slide and that will include the updates to the land use components and the existing plan bay projects and the new projects that will be in the projects and the forecast and the paper followed by a third phase that will be advanced planning to do the project evaluation for the new project and finally the final plan, elaboration, which we will be bringing together the sftp update document. >> we see coordination is key for this, especially in the city and we see tracks where this can happen, regional level, the city level in terms of planning and the third one is in terms of the future revenue sources and project prioritization. >> thank you. >> i was just going to add from my participation in the abag association of the air governments and the mtc and joint and regional meetings that it will not be as intense as a process as the

doesn't matter if he is mentally ill or he can be stable. that's the policy. >> mayberry says he was not intent on suicide but getting his medication changed. >> i can't be here. doc took me off the medication, said you couldn't afford it. i swallowed two things, been in the hospital twice. i just swallowed the glass thing. you all still won't give me my medication. come on, man! what they think the medicine's for? >> on the outside, mayberry had been taking a specific form of medication for schizophrenia, but the jail was unable to provide him with the same kind. >> our medical department supplies the medications. and most of them are generic brands. it's a cost-saving effect because it's the county taxpayers that are actually bringing the money in to operate this facility. we always look for ways to reduce costs without taking away from the -- the services that we provide. >> you don't see the things i see. you ignore me for a while. you know what i've been going through. >> inmate mayberry, he's actually not a bad inmate at all. he basica

. >> it's the idea that you don't have to be sober or on medication for mental illness to be placed into housing. just because you need a home makes it so that you can get a home. >> critics say this strategy of prioritizing housing first before getting clean or addressing mental health issues rewards bad behavior and could be downright irresponsible, but it has spread to hundreds of communities across the country because quite simply it works. since 2007 the number of chronically homeless in the united states has dropped by half from 180,000 to 90,000, and more importantly it saved money. in new york the cost per homeless person dropped from $40,495 to $24,167. that's $16,282 less a year. colorado experienced double the savings from 43,239 down to 11,694. nationwide housing 100,000 chronically homeless americans cut at estimated $1.3 billion a year in costs. >> i think it's hard to appreciate how transformative housing can be. you see it first in the transformation for these individuals with regard to their own ability to care for themselves and basic hygiene, able to better control any

them,ill be enough for along with that 5.2% of limit rate. -- unemployment rate. e fed it just told you, it's not going to be as fast as he thought before. >> it depends on how stimulative this lower energy prices. -- price is. we have to parse out where this low inflation rate is coming from. from u.s. wages being low? wages are going to rise next year. in this case, the oil price is stimulative. in fromtion coming other countries is not necessarily bad for the united states given how much of our employment and wages you have to gives them more services spending, the economy gets better. the pace of how quickly they will hike rates, that inflation projectionist away above where the bond market is pricing. the expectations for the next five years is 1%. >> why the disconnect? >> that is a good question. it's why the fed has been pushing back in pushing back, withdrawing from the stimulus. getting affected by the global economy coming in crackdown --, getting dragged down? out theyou take expectation of what energy prices are going to be from the inflation bond mark

he was determined to be incurably ill. he says the last hope for him would have been a special institution in the netherlands where sex offenders are granted certain freedoms within the prison walls, but the belgian justice ministry refused to allow him to be transferred there. the lawyer says that hit him hard. >> i was worried back then that he would try to kill himself. i did not want that. killing yourself in prison is terrible. the prisoners are utterly lonely, and it's unbearable for their families. >> he promised his lawyer he would not attempt suicide but would wait in the cell until the court awarded him the right to die. >> i'm locked up here, and i have to sit in myself for 23 hours a day. what good is that? whatever i've done, i'm still a human being. >> he will die soon. the prison chaplain is helping him prepare for a death with the committee. doctors who perform assisted suicide are uneasy. this was not how they wanted the right to euthanasia to be interpreted, but in the end, one of them will have to carry

policy from the jail, he has to go in the suicide gown and it doesn't matter if he is mentally ill or he can be stable. that's the policy. >> mayberry said he was not intent on suicide, but getting his medication changed. >>. >> i done swallowed two batteries in the hospital twice. i just swallowed a glass thing and you all still don't want to give me my medication. >> on the outside, mayberry had been taking a specific form of medication for his schizophrenia but the jail is unable to provide him with the same kind. >> our medical department supplies the medications and most of them are generic brands. it's a cost-saving effect because it's the county taxpayers bringing the money in to operate this facility. and we always look for ways to reduce costs without taking away from the services that we provide. >> you know what i've been going through. >> inmate mayberry, he's actually not a bad inmate at all. he wants his medication to be right. >> you keep pushing a dog in the corner, one day the dog will come out of the corner and bite you. peek on him every time. he is going to come out of the c

illness. we feel like again san francisco can be a real beacon for this kind of work and we really appreciate again the support of the commission and the support of our community to move this to this place. thank you. [ applause ] >> there was one thing i meant to add in my earlier presentation about the process and how we conducted part of the work that we did. that was that we determined early on that because we were all coming from different places, different walks of life with different information at hand that we would have a portion of each of our times together as a learning session. so we had people who were experts in different areas come to the task force and speak for a short period of time on various topics which really helped us to come together as a group. i especially wanted to mention the last time we were together because it was decided that we would bring in, search is for and invite a panel of people who were both recipients themselves of palliative care or had family members who had died in one of our facilities in the city or at home and had palliative care support throug

times" is headlined, "texas execution of a severely mentally ill man would be an outrage." talk about the significance of the possible execution of scott panetti, how the national alliance on the mentally ill is dealing with this? clocks thank you, yes, the supreme court has already been the [indiscernible] and they did so because they recognize the brains of individuals who had fallen to this categories are impaired. the supreme court, while not going quite that far with mental illness, has said very clearly that if someone is so delusional that they don't have a firm grasp on reality at the time they commit their crime, that person should not be executed. that should be recognized as a mitigating factor. and yet texas has ignored the evidence, continuous evidence, for over 30 years that scott panetti is highly delusional due to his schizophrenia. this is not a recent phenomenon with scott panetti. he was hospitalized 10 times prior to his crime in the course of 12 years. he is been consistently , and irrational, really, since the crime. this has not changed. every evaluati

on the contrary, yesterday raul castro gave a speech where he made clear there with ill be no politicalnges. nor did the president ask for any. if you are going to make concessions to cuba, recognize them, if you have more commerce with them, there has to be some resip cal opening towards democracy. there was none in this engagement. that's why this policy is misguided. >> but you acknowledge the old policy wasn't working? >> the old policy -- i keep h r hearing reports about how it was designed to overthrow castro. that's false. the embargo's purpose was to protect american companies. they had asset seized. to prevent that, that was the reason why the embargo was put in place. the new purpose of the embargo in the 21st century was to serve as leverage towards democracy. we now have sanctions in place with the embargo that allows us to remove those sanctions. it's codified in exchange for a democratic opening. what the president has done is given away much of that leverage in exchange for zero democratic opening. >> you have heard the criticism of this cuba policy that it flies in the f

it may be 15 years before we see astronauts climbing onboard this thing. >> andy, thank you. >> a texas court put on hold the execution of a mentally ill inmate, saying there are legal questions dealing with his mental health that needs to be answered. joining us now is psychiatrist seth silverman. he diagnosed pinetti in 2007. what were our observations and do you still believe that scott pinetti is mentally ill? >> >> evaluated him and he had extremely pressured speech, very differ to interrupt. he had intensity with his speech and his thoughts that i've never seen before. i reviewed all his medical records, which is over 12 hospitalizations all speaking to the fact that he had a psychotic illness and he never malingered, he never faked his symptoms, the severity of the symptoms nor his thought content. >> there are a lot of people that believe inmates sit in jail cells all day long and dream up ways to fool people like you. how do you know you are not being snookered. >> that's an excellent question. you can't maintain that intensity over three hours confirmed by other mental health professionals. you just can't do that. plus his me

you put on top of that the emotional burden of knowing your daughter is ill and going to be ill for a long-term and the sadness you have to carry around. atoday is the first time she has seen her baby in two months and the first time in two months her husband has been with both of them. her parents took the boy home to fresno in october while he commute between the bay area and fresno to spend time with his wife and son. >> i am thrilled i don't have to have my family torn apart 180 miles from each other and i don't have to keep making a choice between which person i care about, which person do i get to see? >> he says the insurance provider did not see the progress for her they hoped so they said she had to go home and recover. >> it was sudden. it was unexpected. both the hospital and for us we were last scrambling to find a way to get her home safely as quickly as possible. >> now now she is able to move her feet and is alert but her health fluctuates and the possibility of entering a rehabilitation facility is still a-way down the road. >> the horrible and tragic nature of this is

and i -- you know, there's still going to be medical management, but what we want to do is make sure there's no more adverse decisions against the mentally ill be against cancer. that is the operative point. >> you say, congressman, that we have to see mental illness in a new way, that you have to see these people as morally flawed. what do you think it will take that people do not see them as morally flawed? if it didn't happen in newtown, which is one of the most graphic cases, what do we need to do? what will it take? >> we need more representative but we night to apply what we already know. most people think you can treat mental illness but that's part of the stigma. we have new tools to treat the illnesses unlike ever before. we need to put those into practice and i think the attitudes will shift once they know that their loved ones actually can be successfully treated. >> let me read anthem insurance. it reads in part, throughout the care of these individuals our behavioral health profeshals provided the patients and families numerous care options that went beyond their covered benefits. what can you do? >> right now united health is n

illness. appreciate you being with us. guest: thank you for having me. host: congressman murphy was providing a more broad perspective on the federal level. what are states doing? and i guess more importantly, what are states not doing? guest: that is the question. what are they not doing? because in 2013, we saw an immediate response to the tragedy and we had 36 states in d.c. increase their funding for mental health services and then we went back this year to see what happened, we saw a decline. only 29 states and d.c. increase their fundings. that's really concerning to us because $43,000,000,000 were cut out of mental health services from 2009 to 2012. we had nothing but huge cuts. we are not back yet to where we were. we haven't even replaced those dollars. we are really hoping to see more states increase their funding. and we didn't see that. so, it's deeply concerning host: why is this happening? is this an easier place for lawmakers and governors to cut? guest: i think that's part of it, it's beg at the headline phase, the attention phase as well
