johns hopkins hospital is closer to the inner harbor on the eastern side of the city. this is if you think of baltimore as split right down the middle this is on the other side. this is on the western side and north avenue is sort of -- if you made a big cross through the city we are right at the center of the cross right now. this is really the main part of the city. what's closer to this actually is the university of maryland medical campus where a lot of folks if you've ever heard your doctor went to school at the university of maryland this is closer to where that is. this is over in the west baltimore region. it's close to coppin state university. there's a there are a couple of htss. the school that's the closest to this mica. very well-known in the country for painting sculpture, visual arts. we wanted to give you a heads up. i had a piece of paper handed to me. it says several prince georges police officers were hit by rocks this afternoon during the disturbance. all of the injuries so far have been minor. there are about 30 prince georges police officers in th

jeremy greene professor of medicine here at johns hopkins university. dr. greene, what's the definition of a generic medicine? >> guest: generic medicine is supposed to the the -- in medicine, we think of them as identicals. they are the same molecule. they're supposed to perform in exactly the same way except they're not exactly the same elm want them to be cheaper. we look at a generic drug as a way of gaining more access at affordable price to medicines which, when they were previously available only by brand number under a monopoly they're much more expensive. a generic drug is a concept. a very contested object. it's a very recent object over the last 50 years. it's become a key point in attempts to try and help american health care be more affordable at the same quality. remarkably successful set of policies. 2014, more than 84% of all drugs filled -- prescriptions filled were filled generically trillions of dollars have been estimated to be saved because of substitution of cheaper generic drugs for brand name drugs. but generic drug has been a proble

joining me also a neurosurgeon at johns hopkins who specializes in spinal disorder. just trying to re-read these notes for clarification to make sure we are accurately capturing what police have said here. they only learned after their detailed in-depth investigation that there was a second stop. this transportation van and they only learned it after seeing a camera that was privately owned. why would they need to get that information -- >> the people who were driving the van should have been telling them that they stopped in various places. so to begin with you wonder whether the information from the officers who were driving the van are credible to begin with. and this is not a surprise because over and over again the reports by the police who are involved from the initial phase are not necessarily accurate. >> and let me bring you in on this. we heard in this news conference this information turned over to the state's attorney involved in this. we heard authorities or police say they will continue to do their part here. we already have a leak this morning to wake

one at johns hopkins university and i was affiliated with the institute for politics with the great institution. recently i set out to do some research in baltimore in both neighborhoods and to the publication of a very important book by william julius wilson, he'll will send out harvard then at chicago. it was a book that was published in 1987 called the truly disadvantaged. in that book argued very persuasively and very importantly the part of the problems faced by low income african american had to do with processes that de-industrialization and outsourcing. i was curious to know whether that actually was happening in baltimore because as you know, baltimore was mid-level in the city in the 1970s about 34,000 people were employed by bethlehem steel. by the time i started looking in to this question a much smaller number of people were in lloyd as bethlehem steel had been curtailing operations and moving them to overseas locations. as they try to write in this book, it is not very difficult to confirm what the wilson has done in chicago and that is the industrialization is the closer factorie

the $1 billion lawsuit filed in a maryland court accuses johns hopkins and the rockefeller foundation of helping "design, support, encourage and finance" the nonconsensual tests. at philadelphia international airport, baggage handlers, cleaners, and other workers went on strike thursday to demand higher pay and benefits. the workers, who are paid as little as $7.25 an hour, want the airport to comply with a living wage requirement for city-owned facilities. meanwhile, mcdonalds' workers rallied in dozens of cities, from new york to los angeles calling for an expansion of the company's plan to raise wages to at least $1 over the local minimum wage. some 90% of mcdonald's workers are excluded, since the hike does not apply to franchises. officials at duke university in north carolina say a student has left campus after admitting to hanging a noose from a tree. duke says the student will be subject to school disciplinary procedures. the noose was discovered wednesday, days after another incident where a black, female student said a group of white, male peers harassed her using the same r

how in the community known for urban renewal, inner harbor, aquarium, camden yards, john hopkins. why do you have the worst poverty in america? >> that's a great question. first of all, i think as you can see from what the governor said peace in the next two to three days you've got to do. as elijah cummings pointed out, you need to top to bottom look at what's going on in the police department. what i saw when i was lieutenant governor we made an effort to make sure the community and police could work together. workshops together having the police in the neighborhood really strong policing programs so you could build the trust between the community and police. police without trust of the community can't do their job. they can't reduce crime because nobody will trust them to tell them what's going on. when that breaks down order breaks down. a good lifestyle breaks down. that's number one. then there's the much deeper question you raised which is how do you create jobs? in sand town where mr. gray came from there was 52% unemployment rate. that's unacceptable. what you have to do

. >> this mother of two, a registered nurse at johns hopkins hospital. >> when you have an overreaction it is an old reaction. >> she took the day off from work to comfort when she could, confronting when she had to. >> the father in me says to you, what are you doing these guys could hurt you? >> if my kids get hurt if that kid -- that's somebody's child. >> but there was no mistaking the lawlessness and looting. young people clashing with police, very few arrested destroying what few major businesses this community has long clamored for. watch this guy in the gas mask as he slashed the hose the firefighters were using. the cvs applauded for opening in this neighborhood. this senior citizen high-rise, a $16 million investment gone. by sunrise 16 police officers injured. one unresponsive rushed to the hospital. when the worst was over more than 250 people arrested including 39 juveniles. like the smell of burning buildings, a sense of sadness and disgust fell over baltimore that went to the white house. >> if our society really wanted to solve the problem, we could. it's just it would r

john hopkins es uno de los mejores hospitales del mundo, se le acusa de haber acusado en el programa con un total de 700 personas en guatemala, segÚn ellos, 60 todavÍa estÁn vivas. el hospital afirma que no pagÓ eso. en especial, si que se tiene en cuenta que inyectaron a los mÁs desprotegidos, como niÑos huÉrfanos y enfermos, les decÍan que eran tratamientos mÉdicos. >> yo nunca pensÉ. pablo: este experto en salud pÚblica afirma que ahora eso serÍa imposible. >> se ha legislado de tal manera que todos los pacientes que entran en algÚn estudio estÁn sumamente protegidos, esto no va a pasar nunca mÁs en estados unidos y en el mundo. pablo: programas similares se desarrollaron en alabama en indiana y se trasladaron a guatemala. marÍa: hoy fue dÍa de protestas en restaurantes mcdonald del paÍs, los trabajadores exigen un aumento de salario a $15 por hora; la empresa aumentÓ 1.10 dÓlares por hora a partir de julio. y los manifestantes han llamado un truco de relaciones pÚblicas. jorge: este jueves santo, el papa francisco volviÓ a criticar a los curas que se creen celebridades y muestran

but there's a recent johns hopkins study that found many i.c.u. patients actually suffer from ptsd and joining us now, dr. ann parker a fellow at johns hopkins and i know you helped to lead this study which is really quite interesting. and you said you worked on it for some two years. how many people are we talking about that this really affects? >> yeah so what we know about people who are to survive a critical illness is they can have a number of complications. so these can be impairments in cognition, physical function and mental health. and one aspect of this is ptsd symptoms. and so in this systemic review we found that between one in five one in four patients experienced clinically important ptsd symptoms after their i.c.u. stay. alison: it makes a lot of sense when you step back and think about what the people are going through when they end up in the i.c.u. are there things that they're learning from the study that can be helpful to people experiencing this? >> i think so definitely. we were able to elicit some risk factors, people that ma

about eight or ten blocks from johns hopkins university. that is the sight of that fear you see there. burning incredibly quickly and intensity. there has been some confusion about whether it was just an know or related to the riots. the latest we've heard from a spokesperson according to rt roing coming through the associated press is that it is indeed related. or they believe it is related to the riots. a senior center was in the process of being constructed there. that's a church community member's parish members incredibly distraught. i would like to bring in ben jacobs a political reporter for the guardian. and you are on the site of that fire. talking to members of that church as it burned. what was the scene like? >> they were heart broken that this was an effort in the community that is this was the second senior center that they built and people were in tears. they were holding together in prayer circles. one woman kept saying this is sinful. i can't believe it. it was really the level of destruction was astonishing. >> was there,

so researchers at johns hopkins crunched the numbers. of dozens of commercial programs only 11 have been formally tested and only two are supported by evidence. they're weight watchers and jenny craig. >> overall it seems that these programs help people lose weight and then keep it off for weight watchers and for jenny craig. nutri system helps people lose weight but they haven't done longer term studies that we could find in order to prove that people keep the weight off. >> other programs including atkins and online plans have been shown to help people lose weight in the short term but are lacking studies in the long term. and if you're just losing weight for a few months and then putting it back on it doesn't do too much to improve your overall health. guys. >> thank you so much. >>> bone marrow transplant patients took a walk to celebrate their second chance at life this afternoon. the indoor fundraising walk was held at the hospital of the university of pennsylvania. because of their fragile immune systems the patients will not be a

so i am on the faculty at john hopkins school of medicine and do a lot of research and follow a lot of research and i'm able to share with my partners in my home community and district. will as part of the working group, we have gotten information from our partners in maryland of the ways they have tackled, for example, reimbursement for the most effective methods of contraception and we've been able to share that with our d.c. council, legislators as well as with our community partners. so i think there are ways we share knowledge, but we each unfortunately have to work within our own communities with the policymakers we have. >> brenda regardless of where it happens, a lot of the issues are the same whether talking about teens in d.c. maryland or virginia unemployment broken families social services. those are all factors that contribute to this problem, aren't they? >> unemployment generational poverty, neighborhoods with few opportunities for recreation or for employment for teens. when you look at the demographic data that is true of neighborhoods with high numbers of teen birth,

the church decided when johns hopkins drew a borderline of where they would develop, we would take upk. where no one else would invest the church would acquire the property and envision something greater for the community. >> pastor you know some of the children and you know their parents. these protests were going well saturday things did not go so well. last night everything went off the rails. why did things go astray? >> i think there's been a lack of communication to the people. people are not being heard. dr. king said that riots are the language of those who are unheard. and in many instances, so many of our children are just looked over. there's so much disinvestment, unemployment, mass incarceration, lack of good educational facilities and recreation and it seems like nobody cares. then one one is taken by someone supposed to help them it's frustrating. >> do you think the mayor is doing a good job? >> i think the mayor is doing her best to see and navigate this. who could have anticipated something like this would happen. i think all of us should shoulder some responsibility

i don't think i would be a professor at johns hopkins universities where ta-nehisi's mom lived in thec housing projects but at the same time you're talking about a dynamic where-- freddie gray wasn't the first person to have his spine basically broken by police. you've had approximately 110 baltimoreans killed in police custody, i think the vast majority being african american. there has been a sense among black baltimoreans in general that the police are illegitimate and have reason to think that. >> ifill: what should the response? we've seen silent peaceful protests, we've seen violent protests. what should it be? >> it's important to know that people have been organizing to make police be more humane in baltimore for-- since i've been here. so approximately 10 years. and there have been a lot of push to make police in baltimore and in the state in general, in the state of maryland, be responsive and be more accountable to their citizens. so i'm hoping that give that what'sst what's happened there will be more support for that legislation. but as far as the convenience, there will
