Daybreak Africa.

00:05:44
President Joyce Banda says she and Liberian
President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf along

00:05:48
with other African women leaders have
opened the door for more African female

00:05:53
leaders so wide it can no longer be shut
she says now is the time for she and other

00:05:59
Vanguard African women leaders to support
more women leadership band that took

00:06:05
office in 2012 as Malawi's 1st female.
President following the death of President

00:06:10
being Reka she lost her religion to

00:06:28
a president Bandung who is
currently in Washington d.c.

00:06:31
Along with Liberian President Ellen Johnson
Sirleaf joins us now on Daybreak Africa

00:06:36
Madam President 1st of all let me say
welcome to daybreak Africa thank you thank

00:06:41
you what brings you to Washington d.c.

00:06:44
Where we're meeting at the African Union
today the upper the new Union ambassador

00:06:48
here who is in Rio Dr your body quote
decided to invite and celebrate women's

00:06:54
leadership and so invited myself and present
evidence to share with our colleagues

00:07:01
our experiences in my particular case they
wanted me to discuss child marriage it

00:07:07
will make empowerment and women's leadership
and stubborn rethink those 3 areas

00:07:13
Madame President your election and the
election of Liberian President Ellen Johnson

00:07:18
Sirleaf who you are with right now created
some expertise shouldn far African women

00:07:24
in leadership do you think the expectation
has be for fail or do you think there is

00:07:30
some damper that maybe African may not be
as much interested in the electing more

00:07:35
women to power no I truly believe
that the world will look at the whole

00:07:42
situation of women leaders across the globe
so I want you to start from Australia

00:07:47
look at what happened to Julia Gillard go
to Thailand see what I bring to the prime

00:07:52
minister there were

00:07:53
a lot more sleeping older men male and go
to Zimbabwe go through again Tina go to

00:07:59
Brazil go to Sheila and in that way in
America so I think you bet that issue is

00:08:06
a long issue we can't log on. But I think
all in all what we are saying as women we

00:08:12
don't got we are started and we cannot be
discouraged and reduce our response to be

00:08:17
to those of us welcoming leadership to get
together and to rise and go support for

00:08:22
women but I would like to take this
opportunity to stand African men because we

00:08:27
work together in our understanding of
feminism is not to antagonize men or call

00:08:32
people foundational but string gauge
agreement work together and that is why as

00:08:37
African women we are proud that we have
done better than most continents in other

00:08:42
continents they are trying to get it all
money goes to tops in Africa we are going

00:08:46
to cope we are proud because in Cannes I'm
going to Africa Cup we got but when the

00:08:50
2 of us on the money just now has

00:08:52
a female president so instead of going on
with the text we need to focus on what

00:08:57
you have been questioned or it was

00:08:59
a 1st experience for Africa but I believe
God It is our duty also to support women

00:09:05
to get them into leadership they're leaning
in mind what women across the world or

00:09:10
stranded with when they try to participate
in leadership and so therefore we're not

00:09:15
just garbage we believe that we've tried
our best in my particular case I want to

00:09:19
take this opportunity to sunk

00:09:21
a 1000000 who have opened up space in the
police accommodating table for women to

00:09:26
participate reform and I was President
Joyce Banda speaking with us here in

00:09:30
Washington the abolition of Malawi Congress
party on Tuesday and there is boycott

00:09:35
of parliament after the government agreed
to table an electoral reform bill the

00:09:40
opposition some civil society groups have
been asking the government of President

00:09:44
Putin to tie breaker to an act an
electoral reform bill that would include

00:09:49
a provision requiring

00:09:50
a 50 plus one vote for any candidate to be
elected president Lazarus track of where

00:09:56
Iraq is president of the Malawi Congress
party and minority leader in parliament

00:10:01
are concerned. We want. Reforms. Brought.

00:10:08
Parliament at this meeting and we
have put in every question that

00:10:15
they extend the time so that it is

00:10:19
a proper and the people's concern is
that if we don't discuss these bills now

00:10:26
we will not be able to have these
reforms and acted for the 2019

00:10:33
elections and that is the concern and
so we have printed West and they were

00:10:38
consulting today they would tell us tomorrow
and we will continue with the Business

00:10:44
Committee after that decision is made and
then we will see what course of action

00:10:48
that I was reading that was

00:10:52
a contentious issue of the bill is the
amendment of Section 80 of the Constitution

00:10:59
as well as Section 96 to provide for a
change of the electoral system from

00:11:04
a simple majority to

00:11:06
a majority can you explain why this is
contentious for you what I believe.

00:11:13
This is the way to go in order that we
may and some of the Marc Rich Rick was

00:11:20
assisting with their lives which
is 1st post sometimes with

00:11:26
President elect and with an arc of the
past and we want to stick to force

00:11:33
one to reassess and struck that whoever
is elected majority of voters have voted

00:11:39
for that person so you want
it from a simple majority to

00:11:44
a majority of more than 50 percent before

00:11:47
a president can be declared president exactly
let's say they have 3 or 4 candidates

00:11:53
in the race does My Lai we have
a system where they had to lead

00:11:56
a kind of this can go to

00:11:58
a runoff that is the proposal at this stage
we don't have so if there are $34.00

00:12:04
kind it is in the race and the person that
leads after the vote. Will be declared

00:12:09
winner That's correct not the bill has been
tabled that means they did the speaker

00:12:14
agreed now and that they were in your
concerns now the bill has not been tabled to

00:12:21
the land and they tabled these they
also discussed the speaker pretty much

00:12:28
agree to the government's
consult and then bring back

00:12:33
a report after that talk with the president
and the state courts do you find that

00:12:39
maybe the government is not in favor of the
suggestion you are making when we want

00:12:44
to find out if their commitment to be with
orange is genuine because that's what

00:12:51
they've been saying all along and we
want them to prove their commitment with

00:12:56
reforms by act when the bills sit
in the goalposts as it were it's

00:13:03
very nice to talk with you sir and thank
you very much again and next turn with

00:13:08
a live event the opportunity last the right
Chuck where right is the president of

00:13:13
the Malawi Congress party and the man
known minority leader in Parliament was

repeatedly that they wanted

00:16:33
a unanimous mandate changed information
minister Michael McQuade told

00:16:37
a reporter news conference in Juba back in
September there is no need for unanimous

00:16:43
peacekeepers to operate
in South Sudan and sh

00:16:46
a unanimous mandate issued on Libya knew
what we sent nobody is at peace but when

00:16:52
somebody comes and says this un
moving. Moving does like that

00:16:59
with that guns what message will that person
take away with and this is why we are

00:17:04
talking of visiting the Monday for fear
knows I'm walking same one would do in Juba

00:17:10
the opposition Syrian
people's parted as p.p.

00:17:14
Is criticizing the government
Security reform describing it as

00:17:18
a military reform law high Lawrence
Leamer Publicity Secretary of the l.b.p.

00:17:23
Says the reform is of
serious concern to p.p.

00:17:27
Particularly Syria Lou prepares to hold
presidential elections in 2018 he says the

00:17:33
ruling of People's Congress party has

00:17:35
a record of using the military and the
police to rig elections and the democratic

00:17:41
polity will rule from our side is today
the security settle is very key to our

00:17:45
democracy and so at

00:17:47
a critical period like this when we are
moving towards elections and we are

00:17:50
determined to measure changes and dissipated
Steptoe it is of serious concern to us

00:17:55
as an opposition but securely so when it
is the government. Of losing the security

00:18:02
sector particularly the military under
police to reach elections. Before we

00:18:07
conclude the. Mr King just let's go back
to the security sector itself where the

00:18:12
specter of police the military police we
have change now for the inspector general

00:18:17
of police because of these
trends. Shown himself clearly as

00:18:22
a partisan correct instead
of a professional

00:18:25
a senior police officer I thought maybe
it's in the interest of the opposition the

00:18:29
fact mound that inspector general Francis
moon has be moved from the police force

00:18:36
and I understand he's going to be an
ambassador to neighboring Liberia and that was

00:18:41
the expectation but contrary to the expectation
we have the presidential spokesman

00:18:45
Mr Black there it is saying that

00:18:47
a review of Mr Moon is not on the call of
the opposition for the new policies most

00:18:53
will continue to do what one has been
doing and Moon has not been doing it to

00:18:57
freshen up pollution of the presidential
spokesman simply saying Got it is telling

00:19:02
us that we had in my presence
irrespective of whatever cold so it is

00:19:06
a very critical moment we are closely
monitoring the situation but what we will do

00:19:11
in this election year in fear is that we
will maintain the vigilance we have always

00:19:15
maintained and we have used what happened
in the last elections where the us when

00:19:21
we were to go back to our homes we were
loved we do stand around when we vote will

00:19:25
not disrupt the voting sent us but we stay
around to money to the counting of our

00:19:29
ballots so that we maintain the vigilance
necessary to ensure that this election is

00:19:34
credible and is conducted in among the best
possible one of the reasons I think the

00:19:39
supporters of the ruling a.p.c.

00:19:40
Are saying that these things are necessary
because with the 28 election committee

00:19:47
they have heard the opposition l.t.p.

00:19:50
Saying that the s l p p does now when the
election this time around there will be

00:19:56
violence we are talking of
a political party that has

00:19:59
a history of using the security sector to
read elections about violence not about

00:20:05
the opposition talking about violence but
we are seeing. We resist any election

00:20:10
that is not credible that is not free and
free from intimidation we have said that

00:20:14
even given all the security steps also
even in the mindset of the people is also

00:20:20
a good lead in to us on the money and the
credibility of the elections most as

00:20:27
security steps cover in such

00:20:28
a collapse and as most if not access some
to what I'm seeing and also the conduct

00:20:34
of this sector inspector
general us also being

00:20:37
a particular Korea if we see what our
position is very clear about this time around

00:20:43
we will not accept any rigged elections
released any elections that is read and

00:20:48
that is more the reason why we are calling
on them to maintain it to freshen up

00:20:51
policing the sun's credible. And transparent
elections anything falling short of

00:20:58
that will not be accepted by the fop. La
high Laurence Leamer is the publicist

00:21:05
secretary of the opposition Syrian people's
party here speaking with me from the

00:21:10
capital Freetown the Cameroonian government
has vowed to crack down even harder on

00:21:15
secessionist in the English speaking areas
of the country referred to as something

00:21:21
Cameroon the. Governing Council

00:21:24
a militarized branch of the movement hoping
to break of from Cameroon says it is

00:21:29
prepared to fight back and even state radio
said President Bia has declared war on

00:21:35
the militants chief of staff for the.
Governing Council Roland can you forming yom

00:21:42
spoke to Ricky strike about why the group
is fighting. Jonathan changed because we

00:21:49
have been crying and
talking to people as a b.

00:21:52
To make sure all issue is resolved
amicably but it's like. Us we have said

00:21:59
we are going to defend ourselves we have
to pick up self-defense if they don't have

00:22:04
to come with us so we have

00:22:07
a right to protect ourselves with guns
that our people to be killed what are you

00:22:11
defending yourselves from in terms of human
rights violations but if it is beyond

00:22:16
human rights violation because when we did
you want to volunteer and then we say no

00:22:22
it was the same we are part of criminal we
are not part of commitment we are people

00:22:26
different from the people of come one come
and go to Independence on distrust of

00:22:30
General $160.00 we got this on the 1st
of about month to 61 almost rough to but

00:22:36
given the money put you'd like to play.
Left country coming up because of the time

00:22:42
we have to mentally I'm just committing
to cross. The kind of people we have we

00:22:48
have friendly people who would like to
meet with members we don't know is good

00:22:52
company would come in but what is this 5
tickets I'm counting it does proven Ansari

00:22:58
come and run it's not the kind of people
we taught that way so it's time for those

00:23:02
to be on our own what actions did the
Cameroonian government take that you lead

00:23:07
your group to say you don't want to be part
of Cameron anymore given from the just

00:23:12
what the argument was we have to be

00:23:14
a fidelity to where we want to go on The
Office and we converge at the federal

00:23:19
government to see how we don't need to stick
together but that hasn't been the case

00:23:24
it does been

00:23:25

00:29:14
Hello there today is Wednesday
December the 6th This is b.

00:29:17
Always international edition I'm Lori
London Washington coming up President Trump

00:29:23
is expected to make

00:29:23
a controversial announcement that could
impact Middle East peace but I think is

00:29:29
a plus even if you would be the most
efficient not only an enemy but to the world

00:29:35
why so many Americans feel
like the system is rigged how

00:29:38
a huge merger could change health care
in the United States and an American pop

00:29:43
star making a comeback after

00:29:45
a major health scare it's all on
today's international edition.

00:29:56
President Donald Trump has been telephoning
several Middle East leaders ahead of an

00:30:01
expected announcement as early as Wednesday
that the United States will recognize

00:30:05
Jerusalem as the capital of Israel there
was no immediate word from the White House

00:30:10
on the substance of the conversations
but the Palestinian press reported the

00:30:14
trumpet confirmed to Palestinian President
Mahmoud Abbas that the recognition of

00:30:18
Jerusalem would be forthcoming Arab and
Muslim states have warned that such

00:30:23
a declaration could destroy u.s.

00:30:25
Efforts to reach an Arab Israeli peace
agreement Joining us now is Professor Amin

00:30:29
cycle director of the Center for Arab
and Islamic Studies at the Australian

00:30:34
National University So Professor how will
this impact Middle East peace Well it's

00:30:39
certainly not going to
really help the process of

00:30:42
a peaceful settlement
of the Israel you and

00:30:45
a few conflict if anything is going
to fuel it to say that I mean to put

00:30:49
a senior was such you need to act and
that got me would result in more clashes

00:30:54
between dependence genius and today's
idea forces does additional to probably

00:30:59
higher but if you can kind of casual it
me even trigger off I tould and thought

00:31:04
that the Palestinian uprising and the
meantime it would certainly play. Into the

00:31:09
hands of all these extremist
Muslim groups because

00:31:14
a Muslim said he got issue to see them as
the holiest site self-esteem of the Mecca

00:31:19
and Medina So that's what really antagonized
not only many Muslims around the world

00:31:25
to but also provides a footnote I munition

00:31:28
a $46.00 C.M.'s groups to say that you know
the United States has backed Israel and

00:31:33
taking over their holy sites would you
say that that would leave the u.s.

00:31:38
Out as a neutral negotiator going
forward absolutely I think the u.s.

00:31:43
Decision will go against United Nations
position which are the cake knife used to

00:31:50
sort of mess in the occupied territory and
of course it will also go against that

00:31:54
verdict of the International Court of
Justice which we can see to see them occupy

00:32:00
case do you expect that we may see some
immediate repercussions in the form of

00:32:06
violence over there in the Middle East
will or elsewhere what I think is

00:32:09
a possibility it would be demonstrative not
only and then Middle East but possibly

00:32:13
across the Muslim world and we know that
is rightly so for every foot that their

00:32:19
security forces on alert to because you're
expecting that it would be You Must

00:32:23
Ration some protests on the part of that
but I've seen and then of course that but

00:32:27
I seem to have

00:32:28
a lot of sympathy not only in the region
but also around the world not forget that

00:32:32
the world public opinion has shifted very
dramatically in support of depressing in

00:32:37
calls that has been trumps the confessional
for Jerusalem as the capital of Israel

00:32:43
would just simply dissolved and further
isolation of not only is side but also the

00:32:48
United States and what pilots would there
be any other nation in the world besides

00:32:53
Israel that would be pleased with President
from decision what there may be an Ok.

00:32:58
Couple of small island fellow Marshall
Islands which they have in the past

00:33:03
supported the American position but
I doubt very seriously the d.o.b.

00:33:07
And the other major countries to come out
and supported the president's decision on

00:33:12
this issue right that's Professor I mean
so I called director of the Center for

00:33:17
Arab and Islamic Studies at the
Australian National University.

00:33:26
Here are some of the stories
we're following at v.o.a.

00:33:28
News dot com Russia has been banned from
the 2018 Winter Olympics the un is deeply

00:33:33
concerned about Yemen's political and
humanitarian crisis an emergency has been

00:33:39
declared as wildfires rage near Los Angeles
and the Trump travel ban takes full

00:33:44
effect at least for now find expanded
coverage of these stories and more at v.o.a.

00:33:50
News dot com and on our v.o.a.

00:33:52
Mobile app this is international edition.

00:34:05
There's been

00:34:06
a lot of talk in the United States about
the rich versus the poor who tax cuts will

00:34:11
benefit why there's so much disparity
in our economic system and why some. In

00:34:17
America that once made America
strong by some accounts is failing

00:34:21
a new film on Netflix talks about this and
how it can be fixed Joining us now to

00:34:27
talk more about his new documentary Saving
Capitalism is Robert Reich former u.s.

00:34:32
Secretary of labor under President Bill
Clinton Sir thank you for being with us the

00:34:36
film really paints a picture of

00:34:38
a society whether we're talking jobs health
care wages really just based on abuse

00:34:42
of power in pretty much. Every part of our
economy how has it always been this way

00:34:48
. The big change actually occurred around
1980 that's when wages began flattening

00:34:55
most Americans and it required to wage
earners for most families to make ends meet

00:35:01
and many people without college
degrees found themselves on

00:35:06
a downward escalator and since then that's
been the case what happens when you have

00:35:12
so many people who were so frustrated
canola longer get ahead they suspect that

00:35:17
their children are not going to do is
even as well as they are doing is you you

00:35:22
invite one of 2 responses and this is true
of many nations it's not just the United

00:35:28
States you either invite fundamental reform
of the economic and political system or

00:35:34
you invite

00:35:35
a kind of strongman kind of demagogic
response and which somebody uses scapegoats

00:35:41
blames minorities or immigrants or or some
other group for all of the problems that

00:35:48
are experienced by most people in society
as you put it in the film incomes go to

00:35:53
the top so does political power to influence
and where does that leave the little

00:35:58
guy doesn't allow for poor aspirations
of the middle class to actually have any

00:36:03
hope leaves most people with is

00:36:05
a sense that the game is rigged and that's
why in the 2016 election in the United

00:36:10
States you had Donald Trump and Hillary
Clinton and Bernie Sanders in the

00:36:14
Democratic primaries all talk about the
game being rigged the deck being stacked in

00:36:19
favor the rich when you have

00:36:21
a situation in which most people think
that the political and economic system is

00:36:26
rigged then you're sort of the inviting
again either fundamental reform or

00:36:31
demagoguery and what we have in the United
States now and this particularly been

00:36:35
after the financial crisis of 2008 where
millions of people lost their homes or

00:36:40
their savings or their ability
to just move forward you get

00:36:45
a kind of cynicism and bitterness that
sets in. And unless that cynicism and

00:36:51
bitterness can be put to positive use and
turned into positive energy in terms of

00:36:56
reforming the system making the system
more democratic working better for most

00:37:01
people then you get people who are willing
to follow demagogues who don't care

00:37:07
about democracy at all and and are very
very willing to scapegoat Well you talk

00:37:12
about the widening inequality and how
it's just become so baked into the free

00:37:16
market itself and as
you mentioned there is

00:37:18
a lot of anger and disillusionment is
there turning back at this point there

00:37:22
absolutely is I mean if you
look back at the 880 s. 890 s.

00:37:26
In America the so-called Gilded Age of
Robber Barrons huge gaps between the wealthy

00:37:33
and everybody else a great
deal of corruption and you had

00:37:36
a situation that in many ways was much
much worse than we have now America though

00:37:40
is very resilient and we tend to reform
ourselves when the going gets very very bad

00:37:47
and that's exactly what happened
starting in 1901 with Teddy Roosevelt

00:37:50
a Republican progressive reformer who led
the way to political changes limiting the

00:37:57
amount of money that could be in elections
busting up the big concentrations of

00:38:02
wealth in the form of an opportunity is
and trusts anti-monopoly laws and and

00:38:07
basically making the system start to
work for everyone rather than to for

00:38:12
a privileged few I'm also optimistic because
I see all around me at the grass roots

00:38:18
levels and this was true when I went out
in 20152016 even before the 26th election

00:38:25
a great deal of grass roots progressive
and there Jean people who are tired and

00:38:31
angry of crony capitalism and do want to
reform the system in the movie I talk with

00:38:36
a fellow named David Brat who's

00:38:38
a congressman from Virginia one of the 2
most conservative Republicans in Congress

00:38:43
according to the conservative digest and
yet his main concern is exactly the. Same

00:38:49
as mine and that is big money that
corrupts politics that creates

00:38:53
a democracy that is generating crony
capitalism corporate welfare benefits for the

00:39:00
few rather than for the many who are
already very very privileged and this is

00:39:05
a bipartisan movement at best I think
it will be what about the g.o.p.

00:39:09
Tax plan the tax plan is

00:39:11
a travesty and that every analyst and
almost every economist concludes that it

00:39:17
benefits the wealthy that it raises taxes
either immediately or eventually on the

00:39:22
middle class that it adds at least one and

00:39:25
a half trillion dollars to the national
debts which is already very very high far

00:39:30
too high and that it readily hurts the
poor particularly the Senate plan which

00:39:37
ends the mandate for getting insurance and
the Affordable Care Act And this is not

00:39:42
just Democrat or Republican many of
these are conservative groups that have

00:39:45
analyzed the plan out of come to the
same conclusion I've never seen

00:39:49
a tax plan that has as broad based
consensus that it's actually bad and it's

00:39:55
certainly being sold as something
that's going to really be a big do

00:39:58
a big favor for the American people
or as the president likes to say

00:40:01
a Christmas present well it's anything but
and you have some very powerful forces

00:40:05
particularly donors particularly the
Republican Party who have looked at this tax

00:40:10
plan this is what they want this is why
they invested in politics in the 1st place

00:40:14
they want their taxes cut and I can't blame
them in the sense that people obviously

00:40:20
would like their taxes cut they would like
to pay less but from the standpoint of

00:40:24
just basic social responsibility and what
we call patriotism in its best sense it

00:40:30
seems to me that this is not right that
people particularly big corporations and

00:40:36
executives and Wall Street and and very
wealthy people should not be lobbying to

00:40:41
get tax cuts when the result of those tax
cuts is either going to be major deficit

00:40:47
increases debt increases. Or

00:40:50
a combination of debt increases and also
cuts in services that people depend on

00:40:57
an increase in the taxes for everybody
else that's just not my definition of

00:41:01
patriotism Well I enjoyed the film and

00:41:04
a pretty good dance in
there at the end you got

00:41:06
a lot of rhythm and I thought it was

00:41:08
a nice way to lighten the mood well what
they did I think I just wanted to do

00:41:12
a little dance I love dancing and I also
thought that I wanted to end with an

00:41:16
optimistic note at the end
of the movie there are

00:41:20
a lot of people who are determined
to change the situation

00:41:25
a lot of Americans at the grassroots who
are committed to change it and they're not

00:41:30
just liberals and they're not just Democrats
these are people across the board and

00:41:34
that's something that
that's about all right u.s.

00:41:36
Secretary of labor under President Bill
Clinton Robert Rice we greatly appreciate

00:41:41
your time one of the biggest
u.s. Drugstore chain c.v.s.

00:41:44
Health Corps announced this week that
it's agreed to acquire Aetna one of the

00:41:48
biggest u.s.

00:41:49
Health insurers seeking to tackle soaring
health care spending through lower cost

00:41:53
medical services and pharmacies
that deal would let c.v.s.

00:41:57
Position itself as

00:41:58
a one stop shop for America's health care
needs with prescription drugs clinics and

00:42:03
insurance plans and joining us now to
understand why this is getting so much

00:42:07
attention is Len Nichols director for the
Center for Health Policy Research and

00:42:13
ethics at George Mason University
So why is this such a big deal it's

00:42:17
a big deal because of the size of the
companies involved But 2nd it's really

00:42:23
a big deal because it's
almost like Man bites Here's

00:42:28
a drugstore buying an insurance company
you know when when America was great

00:42:34
before in Jersey John these were way bigger
than drugstore companies out of this

00:42:39
happened so how can

00:42:40
a drugstore company be big enough
to buy an insurance company back to

00:42:45
a major international insurer Well the
answer is it's not. Your mom and pop are

00:42:51
Missy here c.v.s. Is the largest chain but
probably even more importantly c.v.s.

00:42:56
Caremark they are

00:42:58
a pharmacy benefit manager for insurers
they actually negotiate drug prices against

00:43:05
manufacturers of drug companies of drugs
on behalf of employers and insurers so

00:43:11
they have come to learn

00:43:12
a lot about what you might call supply chain
management on the pharmaceutical side

00:43:18
and because they sell retail
drugs at such gaoled they have

00:43:23
a pretty good sense of how modern health
care is delivered because as you know

00:43:29
pharmaceuticals are much more important
part of that and they were historically and

00:43:34
I think it's fair to say they have

00:43:36
a number of these little manic clinics the
kind of places where you can get sort of

00:43:40
a retail primary care quick and cheap and
sort of slam bam just the facts and that

00:43:47
kind of small clinic that serves

00:43:49
a need for people who want straight primary
care with no frills I think they see

00:43:56
that coming in a sense

00:43:58
a window into an evolving health
care organization which can be

00:44:03
a one stop shop for insurance products
pharmaceutical products and your traditional

00:44:08
complement the Repronex that go in the drugs
what do you think that this deal means

00:44:12
for the future of health care in general
well for one thing it does kind of signal

00:44:17
that insurers are not the biggest kids
on the block anymore and that in and of

00:44:23
itself is a fascinating turn
but for another it signals

00:44:28
a different approach to integration instead
of insurers acquiring hospitals and

00:44:34
doctors as in the Kaiser model or ospital
developing their own insurance product

00:44:40
which has happened in various places this
is the retail pharmacy company that also

00:44:47
has become this large. Pharmacy benefit
manager for insurers and for lawyers

00:44:54
that company is now acquiring insurance
and diversifying its portfolio from what

00:45:00
used to be seen as kind of

00:45:01
a in game retail satellite outlet now
it's gotten so big it's taken over the

00:45:08
big payer for the whole of the whole system
so it's quite an interesting twist on

00:45:13
an avenue toward what everybody's looking
for which is out of alignment centers and

00:45:18
deliver more value for all customers
across the board and if you think about it

00:45:23
what c.v.s.

00:45:23
Seems to believe is that by acquiring at
now they may learn some things by the way

00:45:29
about analytics that will
be useful for them it has

00:45:31
a very sophisticated data analytics and
they might also learn some things about how

00:45:36
pharmacy and healthcare delivery in general
interact and therefore they might be

00:45:42
able to generate both care delivery and
customer service efficiencies and value

00:45:47
that would be appealing I would say it
makes everybody think it's almost like

00:45:51
a Rubik's Cube shift makes everybody think
differently about the way alliances and

00:45:57
integration can occur so overall in your
professional opinion do you think it's

00:46:00
a good thing absolutely I don't think
there's anything wrong with that I mean I

00:46:04
certainly don't see any trust problem
and what I would say is it's shaken up

00:46:08
a system that's sort of not perfect so
why not. All right that's Len Nichols

00:46:57
Hi this is Lori London tune into
the Voice of America's newscast.

00:47:04
Every hour on the top of
each hour 24 seventh's.

00:47:12
Listen to our news and corresponded
reports from around the world.

00:47:19
V.o.a.

00:47:20
Is your trusted source for
news and information. Below

00:47:30
is international edition continues now as
we turn to the latest on what's trending

00:47:34
in social media we're joined by Via way
is Andrew Andrew so what's happening Well

00:47:40
Laurie yesterday we talked about Facebook
Messenger kids and how Facebook is

00:47:44
introducing this new version of their
messenger app for kids $6.00 to $12.00 to try

00:47:47
to get them online and in theory get them
to become Facebook customers once they

00:47:52
turned 13 and can get a Facebook account
Well today we have another story of

00:47:56
a social network trying to get more people
online but not maybe for those reasons

00:48:01
of trying to hook people when they're
young actually trying to expand access

00:48:05
Twitter has announced that they are rolling
out something called Twitter lite to

00:48:09
about 2 dozen countries around the world
including Bangladesh Brazil Egypt Mexico

00:48:13
Malaysia Nigeria South Africa Thailand and
Tanzania really among those dozens of

00:48:18
countries that Twitter Light App will allow
users to access Twitter if they have

00:48:23
limited cell service by limiting data and
paring down some of Twitter's flashier

00:48:28
features the idea being that you can
make Twitter more available to people in

00:48:32
developing countries where the cell network
same type of Internet exactly Now of

00:48:37
course Twitter is very popular in the u.s.

00:48:40
But less so in other countries so there
may be that kind of same strategy that

00:48:44
Facebook was using with their Facebook
messenger for kids that fit Twitter with

00:48:48
Twitter light. It will get more people to
use the social network but they say it's

00:48:53
not just that it's also trying to bring in
different countries and communities into

00:48:57
Twitter to make it more diverse and to
give more voices role and chance to speak

00:49:01
out on social media so this is rolling
out currently and they plan to relate it

00:49:05
even more countries will see how it works
out and if it gets used once it is rolled

00:49:09
out Ok So Anderson you've got some news
about Google Yes So Google is one of the

00:49:15
many tech companies that have been targeting
terrorist extremist content online

00:49:21
this is something we've been talking
about for months Facebook Twitter Google

00:49:24
Microsoft have all been cracking down on
people trying to use their networks their

00:49:28
websites to recruit and spread extremism
So today Google has announced that by

00:49:35
2018 it is planning to
increase its efforts in

00:49:38
a very big way they said 528000 they're
committing 10000 staff members to their

00:49:44
counterterrorism efforts on You Tube
which is of course owned by Google the

00:49:48
staffers are going to weed out any kind
of extremist content and prevent it from

00:49:52
being posted and shared on You Tube
Additionally they're going to employ machine

00:49:56
learning to develop
algorithms that will find

00:49:59
a block terrorist content so as these people
are doing this the machines are going

00:50:03
to learn from them now if that sounds
familiar that's because Facebook announced

00:50:06
last week they're doing

00:50:07
a similar thing that they're going to use
artificial intelligence machine learning

00:50:10
to try to block content before you can
even be flagged by people so this is all

00:50:15
part of how tech companies now are using
not just their people power but their

00:50:19
technology power to help well I mean
Charisse are using tax so why not the tech

00:50:24
companies and the tech companies are the
ones who are developing these kind of

00:50:26
things they're at the crux of technical
innovation there in Silicon Valley so why

00:50:31
not use it to do some good indeed that
is what they're doing all right Andrew

00:50:35
thanks thanks Laurie and you
can follow him on Twitter at

00:50:38

international edition stream at the l.a.

about Selena Gomez with marshmallow when

00:50:58
a brand new song that she's got out right
now just released that she has been

00:51:03
performing regularly she did it
at the American Music Awards show

00:51:06
a few weeks ago and she did it on Tuesday
night at the British Fashion Awards

00:51:12
held in London and one thing that was
interesting about Selena and her appearance

00:51:17
at the Fashion Awards she changed her
outfit 6 times my goodness and one of those

00:51:23
of course was for the performance but the
other 5 times was just for interviews and

00:51:27
just to be seen at the
Fashion Awards in the u.k.

00:51:31
Now Selena Gomez began her career when
she was about 6 she performed on a t.v.

00:51:35
Show called Barney and friends with her
friend Demi Lovato she went on to star in

00:51:39
Disney's Wizards of Waverly Place
and Selena now walking around with

00:51:44
a blonde hair style that's her new look
she just color hair blonde and she's been

00:51:49
talking

00:51:49
a lot about getting the woman of the Year
Award from the billboard women in music

00:51:55
honors that she received last week when
she was on stage she was presented the

00:51:59
award by Elle Fanning she was on
stage with her best friend friend c.

00:52:03
a Raisa and Selena cried for a bit she
said to be honest I think friend c.

00:52:08
It should be getting the sword because she
saved my life now you may recall back in

00:52:12
July Selena Gomez had

00:52:14
a kidney transplant she was near death due
to the Lupus disease that she has and

00:52:19
she needed

00:52:19
a kidney transplant so her friend friend
Sia donated her kidney so congratulations

00:52:24
to Selena Gomez on the woman of the Year
honor now she joins Taylor Swift pink

00:52:28
Fergie beyond say with that special honor
Time magazine also put her in there issue

00:52:33
of women who are changing the world in
fact she was on the cover of that issue so

00:52:38
she's had a great year
this past year just signed

00:52:41
a contract with Puma for
$20000000.00 to create

00:52:45
a line of whom athletic wear an active
wear that's on top of the 10. And she

00:52:49
already gets from Coach handbags and the
money she gets from Pantene champ and the

00:52:54
other endorsement she's doing so let's
check out wolves Selena Gomez and

00:52:59
marshmallow. Want to.

00:53:08
See

00:53:08
a. Lot of. Us

00:53:18
. Who does she have a new album
coming out the answer to that is

00:53:24
a resoundingly no Selena Gomez is not
working on an album right now she's kind of

00:53:29
in singles mode and that's what she's
been doing this past year is putting out

00:53:34
singles and they've all done very well
for fetish and bad liar and hands to

00:53:40
yourself you know she just keeps on putting
out singles the reason she doesn't want

00:53:43
to do an album is she's
not ready to commit to

00:53:45
a tour because of her health and usually
with an album you then have to go on tour

00:53:50
as well to promote the album but her
singles are doing so well for her and her

00:53:53
career has done great there's

00:53:55
a lot of people that are saying that Selena
seems to have lost her spark for music

00:53:59
could be the health factor could be

00:54:01
a lot of other things that are going on
she's now turned her attention towards

00:54:04
acting and recently appeared in the new
Woody Allen film which is called Wonder

00:54:10
Wheel with Justin Timberlake and Kate
Winslet that's coming out in 2018 but

00:54:14
musically she's won 16 Teen Choice Awards
American Music Awards American Latino

00:54:20
Media Arts Awards she's won all
kinds of awards she's definitely

00:54:23
a superstar of course we've been reading
lately that she has reunited with Justin

00:54:27
Bieber and we're not sure about the
extent of their relationship because they

00:54:31
didn't spend Thanksgiving holiday together
and yet they have been seen out and

00:54:35
about looking very cozy so we're not really
sure if they have gotten together she

00:54:39
was with the weekend for

00:54:41
a while and during the Billboard Awards she
said Isn't it great that the weekend I

00:54:45
can still remain best friends well the
weekend took all her photos office in.

00:54:49
Graham account oh my and I'm friend of her

00:56:00
Next an editorial reflecting the views
of the United States government the u.n.

00:56:05
Security Council convened an emergency
meeting on North Korea November 29th the 9th

00:56:10
such meeting this year
after the d.p. R. K.

00:56:13
Launched its highest and longest ballistic
missile to date demonstrating the

00:56:18
regime's really Lentulus determination to
illegally pursue nuclear weapons and the

00:56:22
means to deliver them u.s.

00:56:24
Permanent representative to the United
Nations Nikki Haley warned that the

00:56:28
international community has reached

00:56:30
a critical decision point she praised the
council's unprecedented measures to try

00:56:36
to stop North Korea by deeply cutting
into its major export industries and by

00:56:41
reducing its military access to the refined
petroleum that fuels its war machine

00:56:46
she noted that many nations have taken
other strong action. Like restricting or

00:56:50
ending diplomatic relations cutting military
ties and severing trade connections

00:56:56
but it has not been enough to change the
North Korean behavior some countries

00:57:00
continue to fund North Korea's nuclear
program by violating un sanctions or by

00:57:05
failing to implement them fully ambassador
Haley says the time of reckoning has

00:57:10
come to ensure

00:57:11
a peaceful reckoning all countries should
sever diplomatic relations with North

00:57:16
Korea cut off trade by stopping all imports
and exports and expel all North Korean

00:57:22
workers also ambassador he said China
should stop supplying crude oil to the d.p.

00:57:27
R. K.

00:57:28
As it did in 2003 where soon after North
Korea came to the negotiating table extreme

00:57:34
options to deal with North Korea's nuclear
threat include rescinding its un voting

00:57:39
rights many countries have made big economic
and political sacrifices by cutting

00:57:44
ties with North Korea they did that to
serve the peace and security of all of us

00:57:49
said Ambassador Haley We now turn to Chinese
President Xi to also take that stand

00:57:55
North Korea's latest ballistic missile
test brings the world closer to war not

00:58:00
father from it said Ambassador Haley we
have never sought war with North Korea and

00:58:05
still today we do not seek it if war does
come it will be because of continued acts

00:58:11
of aggression by North Korea and if war
comes make no mistake the North Korean

00:58:16
regime will be utterly destroyed ambassador
Healy declared that the nations of the

00:58:21
world have it within their power to
further isolate diminish and God willing

00:58:26
reverse the dangerous course of the North
Korean regime we must all do our part to

00:58:32
make that happen. But it was an editorial
reflecting the views of the United States

00:58:39
government. To. The fact.

00:59:11
From Washington this deal we knew.

00:59:19
I'm Victor be here reporting President
Donald Trump is expected to announce

00:59:23
Wednesday reversing decades of u.s.

00:59:25
Policy that the United States will recognize
drizzling as the capital of Israel but

00:59:30
he will likely today the move
to lay the move of the u.s.

00:59:33
Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem White
House spokesperson Sarah Huckabee Sanders

00:59:37
and Mr Trump made his decision known to
several Middle Eastern leaders he did speak

00:59:41
with

00:59:42
a number of leaders this morning and he's
going to continue to have conversations

00:59:47
with relevant stakeholders alternately
he'll make what he feels is the best

00:59:52
decision for the United States
among those country leaders who.
