a bit as your research tracks, there is actually a much higher mortality ratio of the westerners who go in there, oftentimes they are used as suicide bombers because they are not really much more good to isil or isis? >> yes. that is correct. but in 2013, the mortality rates weren't so high, they really have picked up since the start of this year, and they are now picking up evidence of people who want to come home and have had regrets, but at the same time, even as that is happening there are also new people who are leaving, so there are -- by my count, based on estimates from the different governments there have been around 3,000 western whores have at one point in time gone off and joined the extremist jihadist groups. >> what happens when they come back? is there evidence to show that they are more likely to launch an attack at their home in the west? >> there is evidence of that, but there are also some coming back who are exhibiting signs of having had regrets, particularly amongst some of the younger groups, the women, some of the teenagers who had taken off, but they are by no means the only stream that has gone

. >> first of all, with regard to life expectancy and infant mortality, using those as measures to tell you something about a health care system is a bit like using batting average and onbase percentage to tell you something about football. life expectancy and infant mortality, there are so many factors that go in to those outcomes that are not related to the health care system. that the health care system has no control over, that they are really not good measures for telling you the quality of a health care system. one other problem is that many of these measures are not measured the same from country to country. infant mortality -- >> thank you for that. the chairman has already -- hit the golf. my main question is access to care. and denial of that care. and what other, what other alternative a person would have with a single-payer system. >> senator, we're going to have another round of questions. this is a great panel. and these are good questions. but let me pick up on a point that's my turn now. pick up on a point that dr. martin raised, because i wanted to ask the same question

experts are questioning whether placebos should be used in the testing when the mortality rate is so very high. >>> to north korea now, where a state-run television is showing what it says are new pictures of kim jong un. report says the photos show kim leading field operations as he tours a rest home he provided for scientists. the north korean leader has been conspicuously absent from public events in the past few months. but state media has released a number of pictures of him over the past two weeks, many of them showing him with a big smile, walk wag cane. these images also show him with a cane and from the waist up. but to be clear we don't know when these latest images were taken. >>> and an american man detained for the past five months in north korea is on his way home. jeffrey fowl is expected to arrive in the u.s. later today. he spoke with cnn's will ripley last month and talked about his arrest for leaving a bible at a sailor's club. will is in tokyo, and he joins us now live with more on this. will, there were three americans detained in north korea. why was jeffrey fow

so bangladesh used to be the second poorest country in the world after burkina faso. there was a lot of child mortality in bangladesh. a quarter of our children died before their fifth birthday. so we had to do something about child mortality reduction. reducing child mortality rates in slums is one of his top priorities. the brac project focusing on bettering maternal, neonatal and child mortality in urban areas is called manoshi. >> so we decided to go from house to house, teaching mothers how to make oral dehydration fluid at home and how to administer it. it took us 10 years to go to 13 million households in bangladesh and teach one to one, one woman in every household, how to make dehydration fluid. so that had a big impact in the country in cutting down infant mortality of diarrhea. brac's guiding principle is that poverty amelioration can only be sustained through greater equality in gender roles. it therefore advocates women's rights and the improvement of women's welfare. by training midwives, for example, who look after women too poor to afford a doctor. in intervention areas, neonatal mortal

main difficulty is that by putting medical values into the place that take care of us while we face the realities of mortalityd well before the end of life. you simply cannot get around it anymore. you move into a nursing home and health and safety and survival are their top values. the result is that you lose what matters to your life, which includes euro and freedom. -- your own freedom. i discussed the case of my wife's own grandmother. her experience was she could not wear the shoes she wanted because they were not safe, the heels were too high. she had no privacy because no one cared for no one focused on that because that is not a matter of safety or survival. she cannot eat the food she wanted because that could be, some of it could be -- you will see the biggest complaint with all summers patients is that they will not stick to just eating the purÉed food they are supposed to eat. alzheimer's patients will hoard cookies. give them the dam cookies. [laughter] let them have something more to live for then just safety and survival. pioneers, group of some of them call themselves nursing home abolitionist

gamers used to be 15 euros playing world of warcraft or mortal kombat. it is everyone. >> your movie is going to be an afterthought in a few months. >> that is a good point. that is why we intentionally chose the movie the book of life, because we believe it will have an arc of at least three to four years, as are other games do. >> how is the audience different from the audience that would traditionally download one of your games? do you think you can reach a greater swath of people because you have channing tatum and zoe saldana? >> more people will discover it. channing tatum has millions of twitter followers, and so does zoe saldana, and they have been playing the game. it also has a little bit of a latin thing, so it can become more global in nature especially in the latin speaking countries. >> where are you putting your resources in terms of other kinds of mobile games? >> right now our top game is cookie jam. it is one of the top grossing games in the world. we're putting a lot of effort behind that. international expansion, japan now the top mar

mortality wasn't one of them. if you take out the reference to medical school, that's probably true for most of us. that is the subject of a new book titled "being mortal" and we have the author gawande. welcome to you. >> thank you. >> brown: there are two facts of life, yes, we all age and die, and the other is we don't seem to understand it very well. >> no, medicine has taken over mortality in some sense. we are responsible more and more for trying to fix the problems of aging and dying. but we don't know how to do it. and i think the thing that i discovered was we have a fundamental failure. we don't recognize that people have priorities besides just living longer. >> brown: why do we not understand that? i mean, that we want to live longer, but we want to live longener a certain way with certain values and beliefs. >> yeah, i think you're exactly right. some people will say it's really important to me that my brain work, that i am who i am. other people will say, look, i just want to know that i'm not suffering and that i'm not in pain. others will say i have a life project that's really impor

a group at harvard has been working on treatment in africa and they are down to around 12% mortality by usingod medical practices. it would be great to have a vaccine to treat it but containment is the most important thing initially. obviously in the future as we've done with the flu vaccine we could synthetically make a vaccine very quickly, e-mail it around the world. you can do one of our devices to print it and it can be given locally to stop future flu pandemics from ever spreading. that has to be done disease by disease. >> i would love to talk the audience he is working on a digital biological converter which if somebody is sick and vomiting and stuff you can scoop it up, figure out what the virus is contracted for the genome to the lab anywhere in the world and they can come up with a vaccine and ascended to you digitally and you can make it where you live. one day soon, never, maybe? >> we can do that right now with newly emerging flu vaccines. the u.s. has a stockpile of a vaccine. the first synthetic dna vaccine that my team at the institute did. it proves the paradigm can happen s
