fact almost two thirds of americans don't know that sharing opioid medicine is illegal and national safety council program manager tested ben and believes the problem is now out of control it was recently declared a public health emergency and many organizations like the national safety council are taking action to find solutions and save lives it's a multi. massive problem which is why the national safety council developed our stop every day killers campaign opioid pain medications were involved in about a third of struggle overdose deaths last year and overprescribing is definitely a factor and so we're taking measures like implementing opioid describing guidelines educating our doctors and nurses but most importantly starting a campaign like this to educate the public about their breasts we have less than five percent of the world's population but we consume more than eighty percent of the world's supply of opioids and so it's a huge problem here in the united states everybody has a role to play including our government to begin to implement solutions that are going to save lives and help us an

i want to bring in the former chairman of the national transportation safety board and now the president of the national safety council. thanks very much for taking the time. we're very happy to have you here. listen, i know it's early. there are certainly no final answers to all of these questions, but you look at the scene of the crash, it happened on a curve. a witness speaking to cnn said the train was going faster than traffic on the highway just prior to the crash and other experts on air have noticed how the cars were littered across a wide area. in your experience, does this look like a case of excessive speed? >> well, i think it's too early to tell just from looking at pictures, but the best piece of evidence they're going to get is the black box or the recorder on the train that will tell them how fast this train was going, what the throttle position was, if the brakes were applied. they need that corroborating evidence to be able to talk to the operator if possible to know exactly what happened. >> this has been referred to in shorthand has high speed rail. but it's not really when we think of japanese bul

joining us now is deborah herzman, president of the national safety council and former ntsb chairman. thank you very much for being here. a train traveling at 80 miles per hour in a 30-mile-per-hour zone, how does that happen? >> unfortunately, this is something that we've seen before. and whether there's a mechanical issue, an equipment issue or a human factor issue, it's something that doesn't need to happen and something like positive train control can certainly prevent it. >> it is such a no brainer. and the idea that we don't have it on all tracks and we don't have it on all trains is stunning. but first, what does it tell you, that a train was traveling at 80 miles per hour in a 30-mile-per-hour zone, that conductor was distracted, asleep? how does that happen? >> so first you want to rule out any mechanical or equipment failure. once you do that, you turn to the human. you want to make sure they're familiar with the track, that they're attentive, they're not fatigued or distracted and they're not incapacitated. certainly the investigators will be looking to interview the engine

president of the national safety council. thanks for being with us.it's still really early and i think the most important thing to understand is what was going on at the time of derailment, where was the point of derailment, what speed was the train traveling? and the ntsb should be able to find out answers to most of those questions within the next 24 hours. >> when you look at the crash scene and we're seeing the pictures here, the way the cars are all piled up end over end there, a lot of them disconnected from each other, does that tell you anything about what errors might have occurred here? >> you know, it doesn't. it's very typical to see at a train derailment that the cars are piled up. certainly when we see them, you know, with the speed that -- or with the energy that we can see here in this crash, it tells us they weren't going at a low speed. you always want the cars to remain upright. that's the best outcome for passengers. but in this case, falling from that bridge or going into the woods where they can hit other things, again, those are

. >>> deborah hersman former president and ceo of the national safety council and joins us from chicagohat are investigators looking for now? >> when investigators first arrive on scene they're going to be looking to collect all perishable evidence, document the scene, and, grab the recorders as quickly as possible. and either download them on site or send them back into a lab so that they can be read out. >> there is something called a positive train control system. some feel that might have made a difference. what its that? what might it have done? >> yeah, it is really too early to tell if positive train control could have prevented this derailment. because the we don't know what caused the derailment. positive train control is really a backup to the human being. the engineer in the cab could be distracted, fatigued or incapacitated. positive train control its gps technology that knows if trains are going to collide or if trains are speeding over what's permte track. and so, it keeps the train from potentially derailing if they go too fast for conditions. >> deborah herzman, thank yo

national house building council? that's right. and they've not put any of these things right yet. that includes serious breaches of building regulations. key safetye done for three yea rs every week and have done for three years getting reports which are then ignored, getting the nhbc on board and then they are unable to get builders to put things right. i think a big builders to put things right. i thinka big part builders to put things right. i think a big part of it is that there's just not enough knowledge in there's just not enough knowledge in the industry from the installers through to the site managers and even through to building control of what the regulations actually mean. so... that is alarming isn't it? if thatis so... that is alarming isn't it? if that is genuinely the case that, is alarming? yes. i've certainly seen several plumbers for example and a couple of site managers who we are quite unaware of the regulations. 0bviously they've been installing systems of the kind that we have here for a whole career without ever doing it right. wow. let me bring in karen, you are in leicester, how are you, good morning? hello. thank you fo

doctors at any one time than the nation needs and it‘s a very serious predicament and its significance that the general medical council who are here to ensure patient safetynced increasing the number of places but that will not result in fully trained doctors for at least another ten yea rs trained doctors for at least another ten years so you‘re right, we have not had enough medical school places, we should have had many more available for 80—year—old to choose available for 80—year—old to choose a career in medicine. the other bit which is worrying is that those doctors who are in the system are choosing to leave and they are choosing to leave and they are choosing to leave early, go to other countries or to reduce sessions which is in effect resulting in a smaller workforce at any one time. we need to be very clear, understand why doctors are leaving, why they are retiring earlier and why they are retiring earlier and why they are going abroad and we need to address that and make the nhs an attractive place to work. the problem we have is doctors are saying they are working under too much pressure without the resources. we know hospitals don‘t have eno
