steinberg, who did a review of dr. conrad murray's care.und six deviations from general standards of care. >> you concluded in your report that the breaches of the standard of care directly contributed to michael jackson's untimely death? >> yes, sir. >> reporter: steinberg testified he based his findings solely on murray's own words in the interview with police detectives two days jackson's death. the defense challenging the review of the expert's care based solely on the police interview and arguing steinberg's statement he had never heard of any doctor using propofol to treat insomnia citing a recent study where the drug was used in extreme cases of insomnia. >> that was a study done with about 100% success rate. >> question, sir. >> and that was propofol was used? >> -- yes, sir. >> and that was propofol was used? >> yes, sir. can i expand on that? >> sure. >> that article was published in 2010. so that's way before dr. murray gave that propofol. so when he gave the propofol, there was absolutely no medical knowledge that you can give p

and james steinberg was deputy secretary of state in the obama administration until june of this year. he's now the dean of syracuse university's maxwell school of citizenship and public affairs. richard haass, your reaction to what the president just had to say. did today's outcome justify, vindicate his decision to intervene? >> i don't think so and i don't say that to be politically critical, if you will. i don't think the case for intervention was overpowering. but more important, as significant as what it is we may have accomplished up to now, the biggest question is how libya plays out from this point on. and margaret, history will judge this very differently if say in two or three years libya looks like a successful thriving democracy, a market oriented country, that would be one possible outcome but at the other end of the spectrum is obvious a libya that looked like a failed state where sectarianism and tribalism took over and people who agreed on ousting the old regime can't agree on much else, with all the weapons in the country falling into the wrong hands and so forth. so

alon steinberg, a cardiologist hired by the prosecution, called dr. multiple examples of his extreme de deviations from standard medical care. >> in your opinion, is the use of propofol as a doctor's practice to treat insomnia gross negligence? >> yes. it's indicated for procedures and patient comfort, not for sleep. >> reporter: according to steinberg, not only did murray administer a dangerous drug to jackson, he did it without the proper equipment. >> first, you need a pulse oximeter with an alarm. dr. murray's machine did not have an alarm. the next thing you need is an ekg monitor. he did not have an ekg monitor. the other things you need is a bag mask or and you need to know how to use it. he had an anvil bag, but he did not use it. >> reporter: another deviation, according to steinberg, murray's failure to call for help immediately. >> it's basic knowledge, in america, you don't have to be a health care professional, that when someone is down, you need to call 911 for help. dr. murray should have known that. so instead of that huge 20-minute de

you saw it in the statement that speaker john perez and steinberg put out. basically said interesting idea. we'll take it under consideration. >> belva: but this goes to the voters, right? >> the governor wants the legislature to put it on the ballot and he's not really shown a lot of willingness to go to a voter initiative the way he probably will for the tax hikes next year. so he really does want to work with the legislature on this to some extent. he probably knows that some of these are sort of non-starters but he wants to set it out there, put everything on the table and see what he can get. >> who are the lawmakers? what are they saying? >> surprisingly, and who would have foreseen this a year ago. there were some happy faces on the republican side of the aisle. there are some republicans saying, yeah, we maybe would like to do a bit more but we'll put this on the ballot. democrats, not so much. like i said they often tend to have the union's interest at heart to some extent and for instance darryl steinberg's rhetoric was a provocative set of reforms

>> yes. >> it's indicated for procedures in patient comfort, not for sleep. >> according to steinbergangerous drug to jackson, he did it without the proper equipment. >> first you need a pulse oximeter with an alarm. dr. murray's machine did not have an alarm. the next thing you need is an ekg monitor he did not have an ekg monitor. and the other thing you need is a bag mask or ambu bag he had a ambu bag but did not use it. >> another is a failure to call for help immediately. >> it's basic knowledge in america. you don't have to be a health care professional when someone is down you need to call 911 for help. dr. murray should have known that. instead of that huge 20-minute delay, count 20 something minute delay he could have gotten help he needed within four minutes. >> murray told police he was busy trying to retate jackson which is why he didn't call 911 right away. but steinberg said he didn't follow proper procedures in trying to revive the singer. >> his cp r was poor quality. he should have put mr. jackson on the floor and done cpr on the floor with two hands. >> reporter: pre

allen steinberg told the court he found six missteps that directly contributed to the pop star's death>> dispensing propoe follow in someone's home without the proper equipment, medical perpendicular nell or backup was an extreme deviation from the standard of care. >> dr. murray just spent nine hours trying to get him to sleep. now you're telling me he should awaken him? >> he awaken him. he shouldn't have been putting him to sleep in the first place if propofol is not cleared for sleep. >> it's still not clear whether or not jackson might have injected himself with the anesthetic. >>> so far, listeria has been linked to 23 deaths across the country, including one in maryland. the cantaloupes, grown by jenson farms in colorado should be off stores now isn't they were reallied in mid-september. but experts say the number of deaths and illnesses can still grow because the symptoms can take up to two months to appear. the cause of the outbreak is still being investigated. >>> the occupy wall street movement is now drawing attention overseas. iran's top leader says the wave of protests re

alon steinberg. >> you, in fact, found six separate and distinct extreme dooe yagss from the standard of care. >> yes, sir. >> reporter: in fact the prosecution witnesses claimed dr. murray deviated from standard care in six ways that killed michael jackson. first, using propofol as a sleeping aid. using the dangerous anesthetic at home, with no backup emergency personnel. no backup medical equipment. having no medical records to share with other doctors. and most critically, not calling 911 immediately, which could have saved jackson's life. >> he was definitely saveable at that point. >> so, in essence, had dr. murray called 911 at 12:00, michael jackson would still be here today. >> yes, sir. >> and there's just no doubt in your mind about that? >> no doubt. >> reporter: dr. murray's 20 minute delay in calling 911 makes him guilty of manslaughter, said the prosecution's medical witnesses, even if it was jackson who delivered the fatal last dose while jackson was out of the room. >> 911 was called at 12:20. so, now from the assumed time that dr. murray found the patient, it's 20 min

when he discovered michael jackson that way were responsible for his death, in the words of alan steinberghe did not call the emergency services immediately. he did not act properly following the procedure in order to revive him. on this basis, he was responsible. this was a very damning criticism of conrad murray's professionalism and quite strong accusations from experts that they brought in to assess what he had done. this is quite a powerful message that the jury has received today from the doctor. >> a syrian-born american has been charged in the united states for spying for syria. he allegedly gathered information in america. the state department says that he was corrected by a serious intelligence agency to collect their recordings, phone number, and e-mails. and a plan is designed to bring an end to the bureau's own debt crisis. -- to the eurozone's debt crisis. the number of people out of work in the u.k. has risen sharply. it is at the highest level since 1994. the total rose by 150,000 in june and august. the numbers were very disappointing. you're watching newsday on bbc live.

alan steinberg.oth doctors have reviewed the report that conrad murray had given to detectives about what happened. what they told the jury was that there was gross negligence. he had a unethically acted. there were a number of counts, six counts in the, where he had been negligent. he had not provided the monitoring equipment that is a star when propofol is given to a patient. there was no one else with him. he left and went out of room, something the guidelines say you should never do when this drug is administered. but he also said that once michael jackson stopped breathing, what conrad murray did in those minutes when he discovered michael? in that way was -- michael jackson that way it was a response before his death. he did not call emergency services immediately. he did not act properly and on that basis he was responsible. this is a very damning criticism of conrad murray professionally, and quite strong accusation -- accusations from experts brought in to assess what he had done this is a p

steinberg's board with the defense, holding firm in his opinion. >> dr. murray just been nine hours trying to get him to sleep, and now you are telling me he should have awakened him? >> he should not be putting him to sleep anyway. propofol is not indicated for sleep. >> the medical examiner who performed the autopsy struck a major blow to the defense pose a claim that jackson may have given himself propofol. >> that scenario does not promote self administration. >> to me, that scenario seems less reasonable. >> on tuesday, the jury home more of conrad murray state interview with police in which he described the moment jackson's children learned their father had died. >> [unintelligible] >> as the prosecution winds down its case, the defense will soon begin calling its witnesses, it is and clear of dr. murray himself will take the stand. there are two remaining witnesses for the prosecution, including an anesthesiologist and they sleep experts. it is unclear who will take the stand. >> murray faces four years in prison and a loss of his medical license i

alon steinberg says dr.urray made another critical mistake because he didn't call 911 when jackson lost consciousness. >> had dr. murray called 911 at 12:00, would michael jackson still be here today? >> yes, sir. >> and there's just no doubt in your mind about that? >> no doubt. >> reporter: the prosecution is wrapping up its case. murray's attorneys are expected to start calling witnesses next week. kendis gibson, cbs news, los angeles. >>> straight ahead, your thursday morning weather. >>> and in sports, extra inning victory puts texas one game away from returning to the world series. >> to the track. at the wall. gone!

one reason we believe senator steinberg wanted to move forward and put it into play the last month was they want to get tested in the judiciary. because they think they have got an ironclad definitional approach that fits into a fee instead of a tax. commissioner elsbernd: you said it allows the agency to impose this fee. does that mean they have to go to the voters? >> an interesting twist. the bill does require a majority vote in the jurisdiction in which the charge would be imposed. correct. there is a section in the bill that says that is not a requirement of the constitution. it is simply a requirement of the bill. and that was placed in there, i believe, as anticipation -- in anticipation of the governor. commissioner elsbernd: i think that is nine counties. does that mean a san francisco can help carry it over if we paid 80%, but say sonoma is down around 30% -- >> correct. we found this in sb 375. for that region, it is a region- wide authority. in at the southern california region, it is either scag-wide, or they can delegate to individual counties. there was significant discu

steinberg sparred with the defense, holding firm in his opinion. >> now, dr. murray just spent nine hours trying to get him to sleep. and now you're telling me he should have awakened him? >> he shouldn't have been putting him to sleep in the first place. propofol is not indicated for sleep. >> reporter: the medical examiner who performed jackson's autopsy struck a major blow to the defense's claim that jackson may have given himself propofol. >> that scenario does not support self-administration from your perspective, is that accurate? >> yes. to me that scenario seems less reasonable. >> reporter: also on tuesday, the jury heard more of conrad murray's taped interview with police when he described the moment jackson's children learned their father had died. >> after they cried and cried and cried, then his daughter uttered a lot of words of unhappiness, and, you know, she will live alone. >> reporter: as the prosecution winds down its case, the defense will soon begin calling its witnesses. but it's unclear if dr. murray himself will take the stand. >> that

steinberg, cardiologist hired by the prosecution, called murray's behavior, quote, bizarre and listedions from standard medal care. >> in your opinion, is the use of propofol as part of a doctor's medical practice to treat insomnia gross negligence? >> yes. it is indicated for procedures in patient comfort, not for sleep. >> reporter: according to steinberg not only did murray administer a dangerous drug to jackson, he did it without the proper equipment. >> you need a pulse with an alarm. dr. murray's machine did not have an alarm. the next thing you need is an ekg monitor. he did not have an ekg monitor. the other things you need is a bag and need to know how to use it. dr. murray had the bag but did not use it. >> reporter: another deviation according to steinberg murray's failure to call for help immediately. >> it is basic knowledge in america, you don't have to be a health care professional, when someone is down, you need to call 911 for help. dr. murray should have known that. so instead of that huge 20-minute delay, i mean, 20, 20-something minimum delay he could have gotten h

steinberg links the leader to ted leonsis's blog where he challenges the president's rhetoric. he also says "i voted for the president. i maxed out on personal donations but it blows my mind when i am asked for money as a donation at the same time i am being blasted to the bad guy." is a device to the president is rethink how to talk to business and sell the business leaders on your plan to make the country great. many of us want to be part of the solution. we are not the problem. >> he is not all wrong in the sense that rich people do pay an awful lot of taxes. but warren buffett has -- you can't debate the fact that rich people, really rich people, their average tax rate is like 15%. american look at that and go, how can it be? it is because of capital gains. we need to bring up capital gains. both are right -- it is true rich people pay a disproportionate amount of money but it is true that they pay a very low tax rate. >> is his message to business leaders the wrong one? >> he is very thin skin. they are the ones who came out of this debacle very way ahead. what is the real

steinberg which i'm sure you are aware of. a baby sleeping on your kitchen counter. that is a pretty strong statement. >> oh, my goodness, it is. all the talk of this trial right now is dr. alon steinberg. because he's a cardiologist, just like dr. murray. he talked about all the different ways in which dr. murray failed his famous patient. you talk about not calling 911. you talk about administering propofol at home. and when he made that baby example, he said you leave a patient with this kind of contraption. you leave the room? that's abandonment essentially and you wouldn't abandon a baby on top of a countertop because that baby could hurt itself, something could happen. that's what he was trying to point out. what it did i think was really it brought home all the prosecution's points. is what this case is all about. it is a standard of care case. it is not about whether michael jackson did something to himself. it is it that dr. murray failed in providing the standard of care around that created a substantial risk of deat
