"ghost rider" did very well. but it isn't easy. those are two very separate markets. china is, of course, the major player in the asian marketplace. if one can qualify for a co-production, which by the way, the clarity for co-productions is not quite there as yet, but if one can qualify, you get past the quarter system and you're sort of able to go into the marketplace and be treated as a chinese film. and as such, you're able to access extraordinary market. it's been proved that, you know, the hollywood films are now doing extremely well there. but it is tricky to qualif

. >> you probably knew this living in singapore. i did not own singapore airlines even owned a stake in virgin atlant atlantic. it is rumored delta airlines may actually bid for singapore's stake in virgin because they want some more gates at heathrow airport in london. >> they are lucrative, those virgin gates at heathrow. that is the holy grail. >>> hospital stock hma is down more than 4.5% today. and it is because of this. >> reporter: with american health care costs so out of control, we were stunned to hear from former doctors and m.d. ors at one of the nation's largest hospital chains that they'd been pressured to admit patients regardless of medical need to increase revenues. >> this is coming from a non-physician. somebody who never went to medical school, never seen or treated a patient is telling a physician how they should be taking care after patient and making decisions related to a patient. my blood pressure is going up just saying this. >> cheryl covers hma for crt capital. you put a sell call on the stock after last

is is a much better system if there is very little government attention in singapore it's almost a free market in health care and as a result the quality is very high and the prices are very low which is why i remember we americans report they get better care for one third the parents or i know we've only got a minute is a couple more things i want to ask you we've all seen the public anger at large companies avoiding paying taxes such as the recent protests against starbucks in the u.k. as the peg for all this those people who have a bigger tax burden of course because big firms can employ accountants to get clever with profits where does social responsibility cake in then. i think every individual has a moral. who are quite as much tax as possible to avoid it yes because if you can if you can avoid tax which means you can you can lower your tax burden legally and decide not to you paying more tax in europe and then you're obliged to under the law and the government uses the tax money for bad things that uses it to to buy a whole army of the bureaucrats who write billions of new rules

host: hong kong, singapore? guest: oh, yes. host: how about africa? guest: they had a relationship with egypt. i thought going into this that they sort of controlled egypt. but the treaty allowed them to go in and administer the country or safeguard the suez canal and they did that. they had in south africa jan smuts and the republic of south africa. they had some somali land, some territories there that the italians just plucked from them. they were completely unprepared everywhere for war. and i think the british army plus the australian army of five or six divisions, new zealand and the canadians, all of them put together, even if they could all get it england were outnumbered by lhitler's army or eight to one. but they were not in england ready to go back to france. the canadians paid in hong kong and australian and british in singapore. so after dunkirk here was a country like a boxer is down on one knee and the ref is about to call in a day. host: when did the blitz of london occur? . this is actually part of the battle of britain. the air battl

the two most unequal nations among the developed nations in the world and singapore is a police state so they have a slightly difference and it's a little tiny city little different situation but we're just we're a huge outlier indeed i mean i think we must consider the role of inequality as a relates to the rise in the number of c.c.w. is in a number of folks who become gun owners for instance in the city of detroit we've seen as the economic fallout has become greater that more people are now getting c.c.w. use it and acquiring firestorm very well that's right and so we must consider how any quality motivates people to arm themselves and must consider also how any quality influences the con the public policies and social programs that are extra cut and so mentally ill not receiving the services that they're supposed to receive and then of course plato got it right and the public book one don't give the madman the gun even if it is the madman's gun it's amazing how plato could have got that right but we get it wrong in america three thousand three thousand years and so so so the ineq

virgin atlantic has not made money for singapore airlines. that's why they want out.y want to focus more on asian reps. >> what are the odds it goes through? >> maybe. good chance that the 49% stake could be sold if delta could swing a deal because it wants these gates at heathrow. they might want to work with their partners over in europe. at the day of the day, this is all about increasing its exposure in the united king come as well as increasing its weaknesses in europe. it is the most lucrative airport market in the world. those gates there are the key to driving revenue. if delta can get a hold of them then it will really drive greater revenue over there. >> phil, thanks. >>> shares of dell having their best day of the year on the back of an upgrade by goldman sachs. a call out on research in motion an verizon as well. but are they the right call? we'll analyze the analysts straight ahead. >>> plus a cnbc exclusive you don't want to miss. david faber speaking with charter communications ceo thomas rutledge. his first interview since take over that top job.
