patricia murphy, i will start with you.s and democrats. that is done. what are we going to see legislatively this week on health care? guest: of the first thing people on the hill will be looking for is this message from president obama how he once again to proceed. at the end of the week he promised to give directions to congress about that. it actually represents the first time he has done that for congress. he spent the last year listening to people, listening to both sides, saying he is open to we have not gotten a whole bunch of direction from him on process. this question we have to hurt coming up over and over again, will democrats tried to go the reconciliation process that requires 51 votes instead of 60? the real problem is on the house side. it on the senate side, they can get the 51 votes, should not be a problem. on the house side, can pelosi rebuild the coalition that put health care through the first time? she had a couple of high-profile to -- two retirements and congressman murtha, with his staff recently,

you play patricia, a woman who is a psychologist and author.nd that unravels through the course of that film. where did that come from in you? >> a lot. some of it, obviously, having to do with recent trauma, dramas in my family's life and then also i think experiencing a little bit of that. there's a little bit of patricia at one point in my life, always there for others, others always coming to me, asking for -- i actually had friends that call me their therapist, yet when it came to my own issues, not really willing to deal with them at certain times in my life. >> i think a lot of women have that issue, actually, being in control on the outside. speaking of which, if i said to you in the break, if i had known, tyler, that you wrote, directed this movie, i would never have thought a man did it. i know that soundsexist, but it is so emotional. >> yeah. i was raised by my mother, though, you know, to protect me from my father, she took me everywhere with her. so, i was in the beauty salon and i know more about lane bryant than any man should k

previous meetings you had, patricia hewett, the attorney general. i wonder why the treasury was not attending on an official level there at the meeting? >> malick, we would want to attend. >> thank you. i w -- normally, we would want to attend. >> thank you. >> just to begin with, you told us already this morning, mr. brown, that the cost of potential united kingdom involvement, you told us was $2.5 billion, not to be seen as a constraint whether to act or not. how far was the potential impact on the party finances and particularly concerning the that you could share or something the treasury needed to contain within itself? >> we were setting aside money for this endeavor, so we made an original estimate of the cost would be 2.5 billion by 2006 because are planning to go through them. having revised our estimate, then it was 4 billion through 2006. the eventual additional cost of the normal budget by 2006 was just over $4 billion. that was an accurate assessment that was made. in november i reported to the house of commons that we had a special res

a quick update on baby patricia, a two-month-old rescued after spending five days in the rubble following earthquake. she was flown to miami for urgent care. a few weeks ago, a couple came forward claiming to be the baby's parents. dna testing has now confirmed that. her parents now free to take jenny, her real name, incidentally. once her treatment in haiti is done, they can take her back home. >>> former president bush and bill clinton are going on behalf of the clinton/bush haiti fund back to haiti. we have time for our medical history of the week. this is a disease that people are ignoring that is becoming an epidemic. the answer is skin cancer. it has become an epidemic, nonmelanoma skin cancer rates have more than doubled in the past 15 years. pay back. people not paying attention. what surprised me the most about these cancers is that it affects individuals more than all other cancers combined. the reason, people still aren't protecting themselves against the sun. people are living longer and getting more of the diseases like this one. it starts to accumulate over time. we are talk

so patricia, if you're listening, hope you had a safe drive there. yesterday she said she spent the day riding her bicycle around the lake it was so gorgeous, like 72 yesterday in oklahoma city. winter storm warning in effect across much of the state there. you can see this next round of the heavy snow starting to move in, about half an hour or so ago. some really heavy banding, just west of the city, starting to push in. we can see maybe an inch an hour as that moves on in. the other thing is that the winds are very strong. 20 miles per hour, sustained now but gusts could be reaching 45 at times. we're real worried about blowing and drifting of snow. heaviest of snow will be just north, we think, of i-40, where you can see a good 6 to 10 total. talk about the difference and changes in the temperatures as that front moves through. look at -- it is gorgeous up and down the eastern seaboard. check out boston, 71 degrees. only 36 in dallas. what is wrong with that picture, right? that cold air is going to move in behind the system. so everybody who is e

patricia, i hope that worked out for you.ome roads closed because the wind was blowing huge drifts a's kro the state highways in the area. we've also had accumulations in parts of kansas, kansas city, and the heaviest accumulations in this area reaching about the seven-inch mark. and those winds had been gusting 40-plus miles per hour and that's why we've had some of the blowing and drifting. big differences in temperature ahead and behind the front. right? don, you can figure out where the cold front is, right? doesn't take a meteorologist today, does it? cold air's going to be moving in. so everybody's who's enjoyed a lovely spring day in the east today will see wet weather and -- >> that means us? >> that means us. rain arrives tomorrow. >> i keep saying every time it gets warm i keep saying oh, finally, finally. do you play? >> oh, basketball? >> yeah. >> not so much. but uni won tonight. >> oh. do you have anything riding on this? >> no. i didn't do a pool or anything. did you? >> no. not really. i'll wait for it. went t

a quick update now on baby patricia.u may remember she's a 2-month-old rescued after spending five days in the rubble following haiti's earthquake. she had multiple serious injuries and was flown to miami for urgent care. a few weeks ago a couple came forward claiming to be the baby's parents and dna testing has now confirmed that. her parents are free to take jenny, that's her real name, incidentally, back home to haiti once her treatment in florida is done. former president george w. bush and bill clinton will go to haiti to relief efforts and they're going on behalf of the haiti fund. we have time now for medical mystery of the week. this is a disease that so many people are ignoring and is now becoming an epidemic. the answer is skin cancer, specifically nonmelanoma skin cancer. skin cancer has become an epidemic in the united states. non-cancer rates have more than doubled in the last 15 years. this is payback for people not paying attention in the '60s and '70s not taking adequate sun prevention. what surprised me

. >>> so remember baby patricia? who was rescued after spending five days in rubble following haiti's earthquake. a couple came forward claiming to be the baby's parents but could they prove it? elizabeth cohen is here with the latest on the story. what's the verdict? >> no more mystery, they are the parents. the parents have been informed that a dna test proves that they really are the parents. the international red cross gave them this dna test and yesterday, as you can see, here is nadine and junior alexis getting into a red cross vehicle. they were brought to a red cross compound in port-au-prince and told yes, the dna test showed that you are the parents that's according to a florida state official who i spoke to earlier today. as you can imagine, i'll bet they are very, very happy. >> oh, my goodness. so the baby is still being cared for in the u.s. what's going to happen next? how do the parents and the baby reunite? >> let's talk a little bit about what happened before before i talk about what happens next be

this is from patricia smith.ting in her car, getting ready to go to a wedding, but then this happened. the snowfall. take a look at this. she said this is kind of crazy, treacherous to drive on the roads. all right, we don't have that for you. nonetheless, all the way from oklahoma city. they've had a terrible winter. extending up to missouri. they saw about nine inches of snow. while kansas city saw seven inches. those were record setting snowfall totals. also at overland park, nine inches of snowfall reported tlch there. on the backside of the system, very gusty winds. wind gusts close to 35, maybe 40 miles an hour. road conditions are really going to deteriorate here. where you see the pink shaded area, this is where we're looking at the icy mixture. as the area of low pressure is in this direction, right along where the area of low pressure is, that's where we're looking at rain/snow, or maybe sleet and freezing rain before it changes to all rainfall towards this evening. this is really going to pack a wallop

our guest host and dan greenhouse and patricia chadwick.e have never had this many people at the table at once. you need to be careful not to get in their shot. >> they told me to lean back. my stomach cannot lean back. i'm trying. >> good to see you guys. >> thank you for having us. >> we had this notion earlier in the week after talking to jack welch that we're in a v-shaped recovery but we don't know it yet. you say that's ridiculous. >> i believe there's a v shape occurring now but you have to think in terms of the cyclical tail winds but secular headwinds. there are industries that are impaired. automobile industry, finance industry, housing industry, retail. these industries might have some cyclical rebound. car sales may go from recently 10 million to 12 or 13 but they were 16 or so. there may be a rebound in jobs with steel production, they won't return steel production for the levels it used to be at because car sales won't go back to the 16.5 million or so that we used to see. we have to think in terms of positioning for the long-

in london, patricia szarvas has the latest in europe this morning. hi, patricia. >> hi there. it was interesting because we started off perky this morning in the european markets and then we had really good numbers coming through from the macro side. the sh row zone pmi data, there's a lot of insecurity with regard to greece. we have the eu summit coming up tomorrow. and on friday, the uk's budget is due. so a lot of question marks. we had a uk rally, as well. this is what happened to the market after gaining about 0.3%, 0.4% across the board for these markets. london is now negative. so it's an interesting one. we were just bouncing back from interday session lows. in toerms of what is holding up, money in europe today, it is health care, financial services and media up just about 0.3%. in terms of individual stocks, i would definitely watch out for some of these. nokia is doing very well, indeed. so the theme of having the technology shares being on the upside has continued at least for nokia today. novartis, as ra zen ka, so health care is doing very well, indeed. i think t

dallas, texas, patricia on the republican line. how are you active? caller: i'm just involved in the neighborhood, and sending money. a lot of the conservatives have websites. i don't think that people realize that now the that-- the federal government taking them over -- for colleges is in this bill now. it is not healthcare bill. they have just thrown anything in there, and i think that is really wrong. the healthcare bill does not go into effect until 2014, after we have been tax for four years. it is a disaster. host: patricia, who represents you? caller: pete sessions, and he is not for the bill. host: baltimore, good morning. caller: obama said yesterday that the new bill would lower people's rate by between 14-20%, but insurance companies are raising things between 30-40% before that happens. people were dying at $1,100 -- my parents were paying $1,400 per month before my mother passed away. i know that he says in 10 years almost everyone's premium will double without this. but all the insurance companies are running to raise rates 40%, so how

but next on our european tour, i'm going to have to say patricia and carolina are both with us here in london from frankfurt and zurich respectively. great to see you. what's happening with the german market while you're here in london? >> still keeping on eye, very, very long eye to germany. trading down around 0.4%. that is it. however, if you look at the volumes, they are actually quite low. so most of the people are really not participating in the move. there's a lot of insecurity. we had a great rally so far in march. so people really want to ascertain whether this is going to continue for the rest of the month, as heavy or weak in terms of macro economic data coming through, some of the sentiment data, business sentiment data also to hit the wires over the next few days. in terms of how the health care bill really impacts today, our health care stocks in germany doing really well. i mean, henkel for example, a chemical stock, however more or less sometimes also labeled within that sector up 0.9%. trading higher on the back of the u.s. bill. merck, at least in the green territory.
