Absolutely. Theyll balance out the risk pool, theyll keep premiums that need the insurance, and the administration is reaching out to them. Jen, the young invincibles are in the 1834 group. The government shut down was out of the headlines for a few hours today with most focused on the capitol hill shooting. As the shut this down drags on, so does its impact on american families. These foran 4 and 5yearoldt know what negotiation is. They are learning who u to compromise and play well with one another. If they dont reach a budget deal before the start of next week. 900 head start kids here in volusia will have to stay home. It is a crisis for us and a crisis for our community.

The capitol thrill police who responded to todays car chase and deadly shooting are not being paid. They are consider, however, essential employees and must report to work without pay. One that hasnt been heard so much as we talk about government shut down. I think the more relevant question is, is it worth it to fight it and shut down the government . I think that most americans will like le say no. Now, what this fight in 2010 with the midterm elections wasnt worth it to fight in 20 elections after the republicans had huge victories in the 2010 mid terms. At this point in time with so much hanging in the balance with the dead ceiling crisis right around the corner and thats economy. This is a way of republicans have to fight through this moving through in a position where were there to stick whats going to be broken in obama care versus shutting down the government and breaking the republican brand name like were seeing right now. Is there a way out . Is there a type of concession that you think could work here on either side. What we need to do is make sure that as were coming out of these negotiations. We have to fight these movements moving forward. As well, i think the republican how can we resko fl obama care. Not sure how we bridge the gap with obama care and they are coming in. Do you have a warning to republicans that if this is not resolved quickly that it will be tarnished . Im not sayinging that there is true evidence that in previous shut downs the long term effect actually hurt the party thats considered to blame for it. I think that going back to the 1990s probably superintenden probably isnt thebest historic. They were blamed for the Credit Ratings going down because they are fall for 2011 when they arrive. By the time you get to 2012 the republicans suffer losses in an era where the unepl tphroeuplt rate is still high and had an unpopular president it happened that he was running against a more unpopular brand in the republican party. If you look at the loss in the u. S. Senate you will see that they lost opportunities. Rather than going back to the 1990s in that shut down. All we have to do is go back and realize that if we dont get ourselves together and come to the table as leader rs. If were still seeing as politicians, our brand is not good enough to move forward and be successful in 2013. If the Speaker Boehner were to there. Well the votes are there but i think at this point in time, we need to try to knock out all fly things simultaneously. Even if u you cant get any delay with obama care, the next step is to make sure that were going through this so theres no nor issues with the debt ceiling. Coming up next here, revisiting a forgotten chapter in history. A bloody attack that left 11 dead and a philadelphia neighborhood if ruins.

They were demonstrating our restaurant workers. Industry is one of the biggest workers. Those workers sometimes face an even bigger problem as correspondent walker found out, its called wage left th theft and its taking billions to those earning the least. One out of tefr te out of every ten jobs is in a restaurant. They dont have the wages they earn. In the center of miami beach, davids cafe is a popular cuban restaurant.

Gonzalez over the last three years and after nearly 9,000 restaurants inspected by the federal department of labor and ans a stoneishing 84 were found to have violated wage laws. If you obey the la u from the business person. You are at a disadvantage. Theres so many people who dont obey the law. Theres people who violate minimum wage laws, over time law. Reporter restaurant workers fight for unpaid wages. The employers have the upper hand. They can steal from you and face very little if any consequences.

And so you will get robbed of your tips. You will get robbed of your over time pay. You wont receive all the pay for all the hours worked for example. People have no idea what it is right to work as a low wage worker. That fault lines sabastian joins us from San Francisco to tell us more about this story. Sabastian, tell us how this works. Reporter its a lot more extensive than people think. Wage left the refers to money owed to an employee and paid and it can happen in a variety of ways. It can be having their employees oh out before finishing their shift. It can make them work over time and not paying them properly for that. It might sound like a like a lot of money, it really adds up. Its billions are taken out of the pay checks each other from those earning the lowest salary. Thats the biggest concern here. Somebody is earning 7. 25 an hour of minimum wage taking 3 or 4 out of that paycheck can impact. It is really an expensive thinking on how to do this to workers . Well, it can be. In florida the situation is pretty bad. They dont have a type of wage laws that they do in other states. There is no department of labor in the states. And florida is one of the places where a lot of these violations take place. Thats the foe cans of our focus of our films. Withi the workers took their case to court and the the court found in their favor. There is no Legal Recourse that they had. It is extensive. The department of labor over the past few years conducted an investigation of 9,000 restaurants and found that 84 of those restaurants had actually slighted wage laws. So, its a serious problem. Forgive me here. I think a lot of americans will say a lot of us have hard times. How do you get americans to care about Something Like this . Reporter when we were speaking to advocates about this, this is something that youre doing after and you work in a bar or restaurant or something that many people have done that. I have done that and i know many of my colleagues have done that as well at some stage of their life and have sons or daughters and they like their first jobs.

Conservation that is far too much and stopping and for what item. If you buy an ivory bag or or its way it covered, you want to wear it and show it off.

If things keep going at this rate, within the next ten year, touchers will have destroyed more than 70 of african elephants. The prices could land them to extinction unless something is demand. We appreciate you being with us. This notion of ten years could that be possible . Absolutely. We know that the elephants in Central Africa have declined by 90 in the last 25 years. And the problem is that the county elephants is difficult and use any time frame is four to five years. By the time we know things have changed its often very late. It happened in the past, extinction. Why wouldnt countries work hard to protect these great creature . Es. The demand for ivory in countries like china, thailand and here in the United States has created such a massive interest in poaching those animals because of the income that is generated from it. Youre having to invest a lot of money for a protection far species across a vast amount of landscape including forest. What about the people who are caught doing this. Is there really an effective way to punish these folks . Yes. Punishment is one of the most important things and in kenya you are talking about in coming weeks that will punish poachers and dealers in ivy up to 15 years. The problem is that catching those is one thing and having adequate evidence to use against them. We have shown that less than 5 of dealers. In ivory. Part of it is to the agency to work together. Theres an option and that i are getting a sign and even if the sign is large, most people can afford it and this was business is worth a lot of money. So tomorrow you are stageing a protest and its going to draw more attention you hope. It will not only draw more attention. It will tkpal vanize the world to participate and protecting one of the worlds most magnificent animals. Its everybody in the world we have a campaign. We are not talking about the elephants. Heritage. We are hoping the people in china will work with us. Theres 50 or 60 will join us in the march around the world. Even if people cannot appreciate the majesty of an elephant they should understand that how the money is. Ing used contributes to other problems around the world. What you said is very true.

And the sthopg mall attac shopping attack in nairobi said this is something that we really have to address this crisis with the extreme measure us. Heres the United States is focused on the fight of the elephant as other countries and are we doing enough here . Great. Hillary clinton and mr. Obama have been central toll this. Just passed the revolution and with many organizations. We are actually demanding that it stops. The trafficking stops an the demand also reduced. There are problems, usa has a Domestic Trade in ivory. The ivory is the illegal and the u. S. Should really step up and become a rolele model for the world like kenya. Countries like china where 60 where the illegal ivory is growing. We believe that would have the greatest impact on this and the africa. We hope your work makes a difference. Thank you. And that is it for us here on
