star. omar shariff. >> we begin with an historic day in south korea. for the first time in more than five decades the confederate battle flag no longer flies on the grounds of the state capital in columbia. thousands of people watched as an honor guard lowered the emblem during a simple ceremony. president obama called it a sign of good will and healing and a meaningful step towards a better future. courtney? >> bisi, it took moments out of decades in history just to take that flag down today by state troopers and the mood was electric. people brought their families, and it felt like a celebration. for many people it will be a historic day for them, a day they will treasure. >> the confederate flag came down swiftly. and small pockets of protesters all coming out to witness the end of an era. >> to me it's a punch in the face. >> as a young black man that's educated so it was just a sigh of relief. >> even in the hot sun the crowd stayed relatively cool. >> we got to understand in a we're just beginning. >> they should have left it up there. it was not bothering anybody. >> it was bothering a lot of people. >> it was the hate that was symbolized with it. >> it took the massacre of nine blacks at a church in charlton to move the debate. while taking it down many recognize the symbol of confederacy flies elsewhere. >> they can fly it in their yard or somewhere in their house property but nowhere near the state house. >> it will be in the museum. that's where it ought to be. >> south carolina has now become a symbol of love and community but a lot of work still needs to be done. >> it was a feeling of great happiness. this was imparted for everyone. people of every background and ethnicity and because it was unifying thing. the . >> bisi, things remain quiet here this evening. it was an historic day for many. but a lot of leaders hearsay while it was an historic step for south carolina in the country, many more steps need to be taken. >> we're joined now by lonnie lonnie, are you surprised by how quickly all of this happened? the work of this organization over the past 50 years made this happen. >> and the removal of the confederate flag. >> don't think this flag was a panacea. it was a symbol. it was symbolic of all the states. this state left the union because they couldn't continue to do what they wanted to do. they couldn't continue to enforce and empose the state's rights principle on people of color. this was the first state to secede from the union because it did not want to be part of any government that had control over their lives and told them how to treat people. we are where we want to be, and we hope that this is a new generation of people who want to make this is place of the united states. >> so in your opinion what steps need to be taken to bridge that gap? >> well, all the things that we've talked about before in all the day-to-day things that need to be taken. we don't treat all children in a just and equitable manner. we don't have the affordable care act and we have 350,000 people in the state of 4.6 million people who don't have any healthcare. what we've done with this flag, i'm happy for that. but we have to bring in a generation of folks who want to do things right who want to serve people in the state. want to swerve the serve themselves. >> earlier you mentioned about that boycott 15 years ago. that was handed down when the confederate flag went up. now that the flag has been removed does that boycott still stand? >> well, no, the boycott this weekend, we ask our national office in 1999 to bring economic sanctions. we did it with an emergency resolution. all 64 members of this national board approved of if, and the sanctions have been in effect since the year actually started in january of 2000. they have been very effective. i'm happy that we were able to show south carolina. the key to it is if folks would learn how to spend their money. spending it with people who would support what they do and what is best for everybody you would see better results. and because we have to vote right. 47--it is the--we have to find something that gets young people involved in the system so we can force these people into the building next door to me, next to where i'm standing now. i think its wrong when you have to force people to treat people right but if we need to we should do it. >> lonnie randolph, the president of south carolina's naacp. thank you. some disturbing questions about the gun purchase made by dillon dylann roof, and the there was a mistake and he should never have been allowed to buy the gun. >> essentially saying that the system failed. the background check that should have raised red flags did not and that's what allowed dylann roof to buy the gun that the police say he used to murder nine people. >> does the defendant have a criminal history. >> the answer to that question is yes. dylann roof was arrested in march. he was at this mall when some workers complained he was behaving suspiciously. he was found with a narcotic for which he did not have a prescription. he was charged with trespassing and drug possession. on friday fbi director james comey said that incident should have prevented dylann roof from buying the handgun that he used to kill nine people at the emmanuel ame church in south carolina last month. when roof went to buy the gun, a mandatory fbi background check failed to uncover the impending felony. his admission to possession of the drugs alone would have free included him from buying the handgun. the wrong arresting agency was listed in the records which also contributed to the error. this case rips all of our hearts out but the thought of an error on our part connected to a gun used to slaughter these people is very painful to us. >> comey said that he ordered a view of the procedures and spell explain to the families of the victims of what went wrong wrong{^l"^^}. >> because they didn't have any reason to deny the transaction the purchase when through after a three-day waiting period, and we all know what happened next. >> in new orleans hundreds of protesters shut down a main intersection. just a few blocks away a federal appeals court heard arguments over president obama's executive action on immigration. the judges are deciding whether to lift a ban on the administration's efforts to shield up to 5 million people from deportation. robert ray joins us live now from new orleans. >> some documented. some undocumented. but all of them with one message, they want integration reform by the united states government as soon as possible. >> inside this federal appeals court three judges listened to attorneys for the 26 states trying to stop president obama's executive action on immigration. >> when executive action happens it was divided in two sides. the sides that will benefits 5 million people with working permits. and another side with a new set of memorandums that will set new deportation priorities. >> just a couple of blocks away hundreds of protesters marched through downtown new orleans spreading their message and deportations and keep families together. some blocked streets, 14 were arrested. but for many like ronald martinez walked peacefully with their children. >> i have my family and my children here. i work every day because i'm a member of this community for 11 years. i came before katrina and this is my community. >> amid a festive scene kathy gomez marched for her husband who is currently being detained. >> i'm here to support all of the immigrants here, and also to support my husband who is being detained and he's being deported as well. >> gomez says she's a legal resident as are her five children but her husband was not. he was pulled over for a traffic violation, and he has been held for a month now. >> we've done everything that the law told us to do. so i mean i just want them to be able to create some kind of pass for families to stay together and legally. >> the court battle began in december when text officials joined by 25 other states filed suits against the deferred action programs even before they were launched. in februaryage outspoken conservative church issued conservative launched the program. >> it's just a working permit. it's not citizenship. it's not amnesty. it's a working permit that will last three years. >> this court is not expected to rule immediately and no matter what it does, appeals are likely. that means president obama's immigration initiative could be stuck in court long after his presidency ends. >> you know, no decision today from the judges in in in the federal court building behind me. certainly something will come up as this hugely charged topic continues to role on in the united states. >> robert, what do we know about the three judges who heard the appeal today?e know that two of them are conservative from texas. the other one is 77 years old. she's been in the fifth district court for a very long time appointed by president jimmy carter in the 1970s. she is a moderate judicial. we know that judges have had a big decision as to how a lot of cases come out based upon their political views. these two--the two conservative judges back in april went against president obama's action for immigration. so you can see that this is going to be a wrangling struggle as this goes forward, and likely in to the 2016 presidential election bisi. >> thank you, robert ray reporting for news new orleans. the frustration is mounting for the people of greece. >> we have to demonstrate. we have to show them that this is not--it is not possible for us to go on like that. >> up next a live report from athens where tensions are rising as the country's debt crisis takes its toll. and later new york honors this year's world cup soccer champions. the first ever ticker-tape parade for an all-woman's team. this is a great place to work. not because they have yoga

very similar to what voters rejected last weekend. the plan is designed to win another bailout and save the country why bankruptcy. if parliament approves the bail out plan it must pass muster. a big unresolved issue debt relief. we're in athens with more. >> well, bisi. these reform proposals that are being so honestly debated in the greek parliament right now as i speak. they do in fact have a resemblance to the bail out deal that prime minister tsipr as and his government was so much against a week ago. now this is drawing fire from some quarters. >> united by a sense of betrayal. longdemonstrateors voicing disappointment with government proposal that closely mirrored of. >> we have to demonstrate. we have to show them that it is not possible to go on like that. >> food is a necessity. it not spared this market from the ravage of capital patrol control. they're telling us since their business has fallen off and they wonder how long they can hang on on. >> we have no business at all. >> butchers work 12 hours a day. he voted no in last weekend' referendum, and he was willing to give the latest proposal a chance provided the creditors treat the greek people with dignity. >> we're not beggars. we're not beggars. it's not a matter of survival. >> now bisi, prime minister tsipras in his appeal to mps saying this would pet put the athlete behind greece and start the process of moving towards growth and it certainly has deep holes to climb out of. >> the prime minister admitted that he has made mistakes in negotiating. do you think he has done enough to gain support? >> well, certainly there are a lot of people who were disappointed by these measures. disappointed further austerity measures were put on the table. one thing that was very upsetting pension reform. that was basically to phase out the top off from the poorest pensioners. that was a red line that was crossed. while people are angry and disappoint few people were actually surprised. there was a sense that something had to give. that something had to give to move things forward. now will the greek people give a quid pro quo for this austerity. >> thank you so much, patricia. >> the iran nuclear talks will continue, negotiators will agree to extend to an interim deal on monday. there is a limit to american patience, but he also said that the u.s. and five negotiating partners will not be rushed. ali velshi joins us live from tehran. you've been watching talks closely for the past few weeks. so far one major deadline has been missed. what are the differences standing in the way of a deal? >> it looks like they're getting down to the bottom of the pile of demands. they say they've made real progress you and it is coming down to the business of conventional weapons. the idea that iran wants non-nuclear missiles. the u.s. is not interested. they think that iran will use that to spread more unrest around the middle east. iran has its fingers in if you have going on in syria, lebanon and yemen on the other hand, the russians are interested in a strong partner. they only have partners in syria and iran. they want to be able to sell iran some of these weapons. the p5+1 is not on the same page versus iran on this matter, bisi. >> talks have been extended until july 13th. is that a sign that negotiators are close to reaching an agreement? >> that's a good question. a lot of people i talked to today say it has been extended again. that's not hopeful. the others say the fact that they're not leaving the table john kerry and the iranian foreign minister, the fact that they're sitting there is a signal that they're really determined to get it done. john kerry cannot be sitting there without president obama's approval and the iranian foreign minister cannot be sitting there without the president and ayatollah's approval. iranian press is taking this as a good sign that perhaps there is a deal and the heating of up rhetoric suggests to me that the hard liners are coming down strong about don't make this deal and it suggests that maybe they're fearful that it deal may be made. >> thank you so much, ali velshi velshi. you can watch him "on target" right here on al jazeera america. >> catherine archuleta has resigned as head of personnel management. data hack of government servers was more massive than originally thought. tom ackerman has the story. >> just a day after saying she wouldn't resign, the white house announced that catherine archuleta was stepping down effective immediately. >> she recognized as the white house does that the challenge facing the personnel management require a manager with a specialized set of skills and experiences. >> the move follows disclosure that another cyber breach of her agency's david beckham was far more sweeping than the first one revealed in april. in testimony to congress last month, archuleta blamed outdated technology with the inability to protect information. >> we have discovered these intrusions and. >> it includes wednesday james comey told the senate intelligence community in a the impact could be more widespread. >> it's not just my identity that's affected. i've got siblings, five kids, all of that is in there so the numbers quickly grow far beyond the number of federal employees which is millions, over the past 20 years. >> while homeland security secretary jay johnson said that he could not identify the cyberattackers they have called the leading subject chinese. there is no indication yet that the information has been in misused. >> there is a lawsuit demanding that the government pay for their lifetime credit and identity theft protect. tom ackerman, al jazeera, "w." >> he was sentenced today to 45 years in prison for defrauding cancer patients. >> do you think he cost him his life? >> yes, he certainly helped kill him. >> we hear from the victims of the oncologist behind a jacquesing medicare fraud scheme. >> how long have you been living here? >> and he lit up the screens in classic films like dr. zhivago. a look at legendary film star omar shariff. >> a michigan doctor has been sentenced to 45 years in prison for medicare fraud. he deliberately gave chemo therapy to hundreds of healthy patients so he could collect the insurance money. he made $20 million during the five-year scheme. the judge called the doctor's tactics a huge horrific series of critical of criminaling. >> all these patients who ask not have cancer were at one point relieved to learn that they were cancer free. had still suffered serious consequences. the very serious side effects of chemotherapy. we've seen patients who have organ damage patients who lost teeth. who have nerve damage, who have serious damage to their immune systems. who have lost bone in their sinus cavities. these are not side-effect that is they'll ever recover from. >> lisa stark is live in washington. lisa, you met with some of the patients that the doctor felt with. what are they saying about today's sentencing? >> well, bisi, they're hoping that this amounts to a life sentence for the 50-year-old doctor because the patients i spoke with said that's what they're serving. a life sentence after being mistreated by this cancer doctor. >> this abandoned building in michigan was once part of a cancer empire. >> no, it was like an assembly line. >> run by cancer specialist. >> he was the best. best in town. >> patience put their lives in his hands. >> there were times when he called me his miracle patient. >> but the doctor was not performing miracles. he was committing fraud and harming hundreds possibly thousands of those who believed in him. >> what he was doing, he was not looking at his patience as people. he was looking at his patients as profit centers. diagnosing them with illnesses they didn't have and then treating them with expensive drugs. >> i initially went in to it figuring i was a precaution, preventive. that it would probably be, i thought at the time, short term. >> what did it turn out to be? >> turned out to be five years. >> the boxes of medical records stacked in chuck's bedroom tell the story. infusion after infusion. it turns out according to cancer specialist that the correct treatment for chuck's condition was not five years of five years of chemical therapy. it was six months. >> you wish you could toss those? >> yes, i would like to have--i would like to have a bonfire. >> chuck and other patients were impressed by the doctor's credentials named top dog in a local magazine. he did his initial training in lebanon, and a fellowship at new york's prestigious carney. he built michigan's largest private cancer practice tightly controlling patient care and billing at seven clinics and diagnostic centers and pharmacy. one of seven patients was tracy tracy's husband. >> we were married 25. we dated for ten years before we got married. >> you wanted to make sure. >> yes, and we were sure. >> david was a golf-loving active 64-year-old when he was diagnosed with mds. a serious blood disorder that can lead to leukemia ya. his internist recommended dr. fada. >> he told me, god is walking with you and david and he's holding an umbrella. you're under god's umbrella. >> the government and dr. fada's patients said that he used hope and fear to keep his patients in treatment. he put david on nonstop chemotherapy for years. even when david needed surgeriries, the doctor refused to stop. >> we asked to stop, and the doctor would tell us each time that he would get leukemia if we stopped. and we believed him. >> a cancer specialist told al jazeera chemical therapy should cease for weeks before and after surgeries to allow a patient to heal. with no break from chemical mow david's surgery wounds would not heal. he ultimately lost both legs. david died less than three months ago from a brain tomber. >> do you think he cost david his life? >> yes i do. he certainly helped kill him and he caused him five years of unbelievable suffering. >> tracy and her family blame themselves for not second guessing the doctor. but they also wonder why no no one else caught onto the scheme sooner. >> despite years of fraud a billing for chemical therapy far in excess of the eulogy oncologist neither insurance companies or medicare officials raised a red flag. it took a whistle blower from one of his clinics to go to the fbi, and then alarm bells went off. >> the tip came in on a friday in august of 2013. the fbi scrambled, on monday agents interviewed eight clinic employees. on tuesday morning they arrested the doctor. impressive speed for a government takedown. but how did the doctor slip by until then? >> what did he do to be able to get away with this for so long? >> he was really the king of his practice. i think he may have called himself the king and he really was. he ruled with an iron fist. he kept close control over everything and really didn't let anybody else see what he was doing. that coupled with the fact that he was really the dealing with frightened vulnerable people. >> the doctor fleeced medicare, private insurance companies and patients ever tens ever millions ever dollars. his estate including the family home seized by the government valued at more than $40 million. there is no way of contemplating the human toll. >> i have your pills set up for the day. >> yes set up and ready to go. >> chuck lives with kidney and blood problems, severe numbness in his hands feet and legs. he's now on permanent disability. >> it's hard. you know i trusted him. i trusted him with my life. >> a life now forever altered. >> now both chuck and tracy as well as a number of other patients have filed civil suits against the doctor. others in his practice and local hospitals. the doctor has agreed to forfeit $17 million. his i will gotten gains from medicare. some of that money hopefully bisi, will be going to the victims in this horrible case. >> absolutely hopeful. christopher freeze is an oncology nurse and assistant professor at the university of michigan school of nursing. he joins us in grand rapids, michigan, to hear about those stories in lisa's report. it's just heartbreaking. would you say that this is a case that's a primary example of why it's so important to get a second opinion? >> well, i think in 18 years of practice caring for practices many of whom have the tumors that the doctor treated i've seen questionable care, but i've never seen anything on this scope. what we do know is that patients and families rarely use second opinions to get another idea about the cancer. for most patients they won't need a second opinion because the diagnoses is straightforward. but whenever there is a question or unclear decisions on treatment or the families are unsure, a doctor should provide a second opinion to people and actually help facilitate that. in the doctor's case several family members asked me for second opinions and he balked. this means that is a redding in ofred flag of a larger problem. >> he collected millions of dollars. why do you think it took so long for him to get caught? >> well, one of the problems that we have in cancer care is that it's largely unregulated in the united states. up to 80% of cancer care is given in privately owned clinic clinics. most are set up with the delayed reimbursement files that come back to us. it does not allow us to identify problems in an early manager and doctors are very rarely questioned about the use of drugs, particularly with the dangerous disease that they deal with. >> many trusted this doctor with their life, and they had no idea of any wrongdoing. are there any signals anything that we can look out for as patients? >> well, you know, i think one of the things is if there is a reluctance to share the records. one of the things i always remember patients get copies of your pathology report where the doctors look at the tissue itself to determine if it's cancerous or not. if your doctor is not willing to give a copy of that report. the doctor is not willing to share the records with you or not willing to facilitate that second opinion that's a red flag. what was also discussed at the conference call with the attorney in this case was don't be afraid to report your concerns to the state. at least in michigan we have tried to improve the recording issues for doctors that might be under question and facilitate earlier review in cases like this. >> thank you so much, christopher friese for joining us this evening. >> thank you. >> the ceo of red edit has been forced out by the webs' communities of 150 million active users. alanellen powell resigned today. it's not the first controversy for powell. back in march she lost
