>> reporter: that's right, raj. and giants fans are taking this pretty hard. many of them told us that they are in shock. now, the team has not officially said that posey's out for the rest of the season, but we talked to a doctor today who said considering his own injuries that that is the most likely scenario. it was a moment to make giants fans cringe. their star player, catcher buster posey, in a painful collision with florida's scott cousins. the collision left the national league's rookie of the year with a broken bone in his lower left leg and likely some torn ligaments. >> there's one angle that they show that clearly let us know that this was not just a simple injury. >> reporter: dr. keith dinato is an orthopedic surgeon at pacific medical center. he says posey's injuries will likely require surgery. >> it's going to be a season-ending injury, unfortunately. the recovery time is usually long. just to get bones to heal in a healthy adult is about eight weeks. and if you're talking about ligamen ligaments, especially in the knee, those may take as long

is really tough so there they are and pakistan as you will remember, became a country 1947 when the raj wassenedding sort of an accident he was beating the table and saying we muslims need a separate country he put it out and low and behold they won in no small part due to some christian minorities. everybody was surprised there is pakistan and we will pick it up from there. >> we will remember that, one date after my birthday. >> office pi house to say the least. >> incredible geography i don't think we will need map qwest. okay please join us as we talk to hugh burrows about pakistan. thank you for being with us >>> if you just joined us we have been talking about pakistan with hugh burrows who just returned we left off 1947 when they became a nation. >> right as you may recall pakistan and india were one country, and it was fairly isolated the persians would occasionally come over there were some great mogul rulers who were muslim but it was left to itself and there was a great religion, animism was there and hinduism and then 500 bc, buddhism and then some christians sailed over, th

. >> and i'm raj mathai. we begin tonight with a bay area couple who thinks they have a solution to a nationwide problem, the rising cost of health care. it seems pretty simple, like a gym membership. but is it really working and why aren't more doctor doing this? we bring in marianne favro. >> reporter: medical membership is designed for people who have lost their jobs and have no insurance and part-time workers who may not get full benefits. patients can save a lot of money by signing up for direct primary care, because they can eliminate the middle man, in this case the insurance company. >> let's listen to your lungs. why don't you come on in. >> reporter: richard gregson says he couldn't be happier with his medical care. his new doctor helped him recover from walking pneumonia. richard thought he might be recovering from a hefty bill. but because he is a med lion patient he only pays a $49 a month membership fee and $10 a visit, less than most gym memberships. >> i'm feeling better. i feel much healthier

. >> and i'm raj mathai. new surveillance video is out tonight showing what the public defender describes as disturbing behavior. it's a string of tapes. the other tapes forced the department and district attorneys to drop dozens of cases. jodi hernandez has a copy of the latest video. it seems like a bottomless well. where does sfpd go from here? >> reporter: that's a very good question. the public defender's office says that the newest video helps prove that there are serious problems with the way the san francisco police department handles cases. the department's new chief says he is not going to rush to judgment but is determined to get to the bottom of the allegations. >> we have an extremely disturbing video. >> the dissfrikt attorney says this video of a december 2010 arrest and search shows serious police misconduct. the video captures a by stander being violently detained and an officer with an illegal search and seizure of suspect's property. >> for the first time we're getting to match police repor

>> reporter: raj, first of all, vancouver is such a beautiful place, as you mentioned. sorry we can't show you more than just this hallway but let's talk strategy for tonight's game. take you back to game one and things went pretty well the first two periods and the common thread was the sharks threw a lot of pucks at net. that was the common theme there in the first 40 minutes. that's something that the players told me this morning they need to get back to, tonight here in vancouver. >> we didn't execute the way we wanted to. coming through, we turned it over instead of getting it deep and et going it on the floor check, and a goalie, you need to get a lot of shots on him. it's just plain and simple. >> it's very hard to defend a shot. if it comes off a goaltender, nobody knows where it's going. it's easier to be on the offensive than the defensive. t . >> not that i'm a huge believer in statistics but if you go down '02 the chances of you winning a series are pretty slim. so it's very important for us to get the -- get the win tonight and go home and then take care of

sounds a lot like your average worker but here to talk about the debt ceiling and what this all means is raj joshi he's founder and president of many think this much for being with us now you know i want to ask you as an investor there is a debate going on now that we see you know beyond politicians and with politicians that one side saying if the u.s. doesn't raise the debt ceiling and ben bernanke you would be in a camp that this would be catastrophic to the world financial markets but then you have others on the other side including investors including analysts including average american folk i've interviewed that say you know this is hyperbole and this is continuing to perpetuate you know poor responsibility on the part of the u.s. by constantly increasing the debt ceiling as an investor what do you think would be the reality if the u.s. didn't raise the debt ceiling. what a shame he's not hearing me had i really was waiting to hear the answer to that question because it does seem to be the million dollar what do we have wrought. here you know you can hear me ok did you hear my question.

it looks refreshing out there, raj. we actually did see a few 90s today, right in throughout the south bay. that's where some of that heat really cranked out, right in santa clara with 92. gilroy also 92. pleasanton, 90. and in the east bay, walnut creek with 88. it doesn't always take the hottest temperatures to get record-setting heat. here's a look at three records we had here throughout the bay area. santa cruz, 86. oakland, 85. and right along the coastline, san francisco with 84. that also a new record. so it's all about these northwest winds, these have really cranked up the heat today. some 10 to 20 degrees warmer than this time yesterday, as high pressure remains king here across california at this point. we are going to undergo some changes here with some fog coming soon. i'm going to have details, of course, on when that's going to be impacting our weather. but as we've talked about, the warmest weather we've had in about seven months. last time it was this hot, way back on october the 2nd. now, of course, bi

>> reporter: this is pretty normal for the city of san jose to have an independent police auditor, raj. though the relationship has been very contentious in the past, we seem to be seeing a new era in the relationship between the san jose police and its watchdog group. when an officer is accused of police misconduct, it is an investigation that is confidential by law. one person who does get to see that report is the independent police auditor. so her report is really our insight into how the department stays on the straight and narrow. when san jose police chief chris moore asked the independent police auditor to swear him in it was symbolic of a new era between the police and its watchdog group. >> we have a very positive, respectful relationship. do we disagree? yes. are we disagreeable? no. >> reporter: today the first test of that relationship. the independent auditor's report for 2010 and review of every investigation of police misconduct. the independent auditor reviewed 183 internal affairs investigations. in 89% of those cases the independent auditor agreed with the department
