Welcome to world news America Donald trump is remaining optimistic that republicans can push through a bill to Reform Health cat. Its not looking good vote the Senate LeaderMitch Mcconnell has been forced to delay legislation after failing to drum up enough support from his own party. But speaking during a visit by the World Champion chicago cubs baseball team. President trump offered a bit of a teaser on what lies in store. Healthcare is working along very well. We could have a big surprise with a great. Healthcare package so. Now theyre happy about it but i think that right. To get out rainn. Well for more on wet things stand i spoke earlier with jay newton small to Time Magazine contributor. Jake what do you think the surprise on Health Catholic they. Well thats just it i think that Mitch Mcconnell would like to know what the surprise on healthcare may be. Theres a lot of senators particular republicans in the senate who are incredibly nervous about this they go home for this break now. Where theyre almost guaranteed to get lambasted by crowds are incredibly worried about losing their health care and and theyre worried about what theyre hearing . Notably more than half of the Senate Republicans are not Holding Public town Hall Meetings because they think theres serve their so afraid. Of of what they might hear from their constituents. Because things are so tenuous right now its incredibly unpopular to reform the spell which really begs the question what good is this delay going to make. Thats a great question and its a huge gamble on Mitch Mcconnells part because. He knew he didnt have the votes ahead of time so was either fail immediately or hope to gain some sort of momentum some sort of deals. In the meantime and you can be sure that behind the scenes hes working on those ten senators who voiced concerns who say that they may not vote for this bill. Over this break to try to convince them to change their minds. Do you have a party who is in control of the house the senate and the white house. And yet they all struggling to push through that key piece of legislation what does it say about republicans ability to do anything else. It is a really. It is something that a lot of it obviously the democrats either side of the aisle are saying look they control government this is post be their heyday. Theirs was the passing of this legislation and theyve really not managed you absolutely anything i mean in fact even hold even keeping the government open and raising the debt ceiling this summer. Looks like theyre going be incredibly heavy lives for this for this group and so. Theres a lot of server accusations of do nothing that theyre paralyzed. And accusations that russia has just so detroit distracted at the special investigation. From of the functioning of the government that theyre not getting anything trip through because so much attention is being paid. On the destination the president there is some talk today about reaching across the aisle and working with democrats. But who i think. In this congress is going to Work Together and thats a real question its tough politics is changed so much since i started covering it fifteen years ago. Where he used to be dont let the perfect be the enemy of the good . And and compromises of was that of the day and people were friends after six quote unquote had drinks. Now its like a zero sum game in everyones trying to kill each other and in that sort of spirit democrats have no incentive whatsoever to work with public into it all about. Bringing down the other side and winning this game and winning this war very quickly Donald Trumps role in all this apart from springing surprises hes the deal maker can he fix this. And thats the problem is that he has no political juice if you if you came in with all this political power and you could call it senators and really twist their arms and force them to do something. Then he might be in a position to do that but because of this investigation because of the looming dark clouds around him. He doesnt have the power. Jake thanks very much indeed for joining me. Well interestingly some of the states that have given the most support to donald trump also places with the most people enrolled in obamacare. In the state of kentucky for instance more than four hundred twenty thousand people have been insured through the expansion of the program for the poor. Cold medicaid from that lower bicker reports. Says what donald trump described as for governor. Eastern kentucky used be coal country. It is known to be more. Its no blighted like ill health. Opioid crisis. Alright. I think look at things hows the breed them into. Clinics are seeing a far higher rates of cancer diabetes and Heart Disease in the rest of the u. S. I can eat bread and years of working at the coal face ive taken its toll on som. Wait a about their lung transplant. You tell me that he gave me an option. Do the transplant said it. But i doubt it would be five years classics victims. Claude has black lung disease we have to fight to brief howard underground for twenty seven near. My lungs it shipped theyll have to. When the mind shot he lost his job and his health insurance. But his treatment is free due to obamacare reforms seeking him in there this week doctor breathing was voted country doctor of the year. How Office Patients receive government funded medicaid . He warns about making this debate political and has advice for both sides. Other countries have done. They set the ground work force and where we wont be apparent here but we can take what theyve done and use it. And bill it to make it the best problem in the world. Thats why the United States is a strong as it is weve always taken things and made them better. Why cant we take healthcare proxy make it better instead of fighting over it . But some fear that the donald trump this came to you voted for. Me care hes not thinking about the. Little people have known what hes thinking. Pretty Good Progress they wouldnt take away medicating healy after he promised a lot. And hes going back on. From the slot to get me offices way promised. So many people here told is that obamacare has saved their lives but its come at a cost. Hard working middle income families saved their insurance premiums have risen and they are struggling they ask why should they be paying why should they be suffering. To help others. And that question is raised more often as opioid abuse here has become an epidemic. Few households have gone on touched. I wanted to use it to come off of everything. Courtney is four months pregnant shes been given medication to slowly wean her off opioids. Her first son was born dependent on drugs. This time she is determined to get the help she needs i always have that. Fear of getting back on drugs but im im excited more excited than nervous because.

Getting that feeling everyday. Dont to see this kind of intervention who save money in the long run. And see what is becoming a lost generation. Sorry. This. Please to look after its own after and shooting so many changes. Their hope in washington is listening and will not turn its back on the knife. What if they catch bbc news whites back into . The reminder that that healthcare is about people not just politics. The u. S. Security officials on tightening up security procedures for passengers flying into the country. The new guidelines include enhancing overall screening of people and personal Electronic Devices as well as tightened security around aircraft and passenger area. But they do stop short of expanding the ban on laptop. If the at the ads in the aircraft. Security. Of Homeland Security joan kenney said changing terror threats make the new measures necessary. Cybersecurity experts now believe a global run somewhere hack may have started with corrupted updates on the piece of ukrainian tax software. The attackers spread to at least sixty four countries with those responsible asking for just three hundred dollars invent some from each victi. Earlier is part of the bbcs one hundred days plus program likely catchy case but to Michael Chertoff the executive chairman of the Chertoff Group and former secretary of Homeland Security. Michael chertoff whos behind this latest cyber attack well i dont think we know that i was a lot of speculation about it what we do know is that it appears that this particular type of encryption. Ransomware. Peta has been out there for awhile. And the question is how to get you to see. Some of it is apparently through a vulnerability in microsoft. That should have been patched but some people have not patched some of it may be coming in through other means. For example email fishing or other ways of evading virus anti virus. So i whos responsible hard to tell we know original easy think as the russians robs you cringe begins to russia may be multiple people. Taking advantage of. Getting the exploited and be able to deploy it using it for their own purposes it looks like. Whoever is behind the hack was trying to cause chaos roth and trying to raise a lot of money. Whenever theyre ostrogoth i have three hundred dollars and only thirty people a paid up but doesnt she make you much cash well typically ransom where they dont ask for exorbitant sum. The Business Model for criminals in this particular line of cyber criminality enough as a Business Model yeah theres a bizarre Business Model is. Relatively small amount of money so people can pay you make the money in value in both the wanna cry case and in this case it seems that actually. The damage was contained. Do you still stand by the idea that its not a question of if its a question of when the world faces a major cyberattack that is not. Contained in where the damage is substantially greater than either of these two so i i do stand by that because i think there as i say the ransomware episodes generally speaking are ways of extorting money for criminal purposes. Attacks that were carried out by terrorists or reduce the geo political issue like for example the shutdown of ukrainian power last christmas and christmas before by the russians. Those are actually to be much more damaging because the objective is not to extort money injectors ashes to inflict harm. A concern to you about the prospect that they will be a major attack. By national or a non state player i think as with many people in the intelligence field i believe this is probably the most serious threat. We currently face first of all the terrorists although they have not yet used. Asci rigid destructive tool rather than a recruiting tool. They may yet decide they want to do you have the north korean shoes shown very little restraint. And have access to cyber weapons. Harm and i do think is we get a rising tension around the world theres a greater likelihood to you was he cyberagent domain of conflict. Michael gentle thanks very much on that wonderfully optimistic note we must leave it thank you. A look now at some of the days other news and a senior eu official has warned that the scale of migration across the mediterranean from north africa to italy is untenabl. About ten thousand people are reported to have attempted the journey in the past few days alone. The e. U. s commissioner for migration said full eu Member States have a humanitarian obligations to save lives. The United Nations says at least a hundred and seventy three civilians have been killed this month in the syrian city of raqqa. By western backed forces are trying to drive out Islamic State militants the office of the un high commissioner for human rights at the casualty figure. Was probably a conservative estimate that the actual number of civilian dead may be much higher. But Israeli Military has found the helicopter used in an attack on the countrys interior ministry and supreme court. Officials say it was abandoned along the northern coast about thirty miles from the capital caracas the pilot however remains at large. In this extraordinary footage you can see the helicopter hovering over the center of town before we hear shots and the sounds of grenades. No one was hurt in the incident. The countrys embattled president nicolas miscue maduro spoke about the incident on national tv. But for some amount of generally what anna pulled up. Ive activated the bowl of Army National armed forces to defend the rights of pace there and im sure that you sooner or later we have really captured the helicopter. And those who have made easy armed terrorist attack. Against the institutions of the country. Well earlier i spoke to but about the situation in venezuela with michael the coffee professor of the Elliott School of International Affairs at George Washington universit. Michael thank you very much for coming in. Better. As weve just seen protests been going on for months but is this helicopter attack. A new phase has it just become more serious. I think it suggests the fact that this course is going to this crisis is going to continue to escalate. And what is really at risk right now is the possibility for. A a political change that would be democratic in nature. This month of july is going to be very heated on the streets of venezuela. Though. Embattled president has proposed a conservative assembly reform. On which deposition considers to be fraudulent and i think that. Were going to see a little bit more of cool poker. For the remaining weeks of july at least. You talk about it as if by some form of negotiation going on but the countrys broken down so badly. That the opposition is suggesting that this helicopter attack was actually instigated by maduro himself was it. I think that there is a there at least two schools of thought in terms of how we interpret the recent events. Our first of all its just very concerning that. The government has been id not permitting the democratically elected National Assembly to do its job and that would be one way which you could have a break through to the crisis. About going back to the events of the helicopter. There seem to be two ways of thinking about it as i stated one is that this is something orchestrated by the government the other possibility is that was a rogue elements within the. A police force that has support from other parts of. The military where there is significant discontent at the lower levels. Protests are escalating how long can this go the full. Hello this is a question weve been asking for a very long time with venezuela so its a very difficult one to answer at this point. I it seems to me that the country is very close to a breaking point. On at. Key question is whether or not. The right type of International Pressure can be brought to bear on a tour de escalate the situation and find a path forward for the country. On that would be constitutional and democratic and the truth is is that there actually is a framework for this. Last year in december. There was a four point framework agreed to between the government the opposition. I mean that would provide real way for the country to get out of this mess and hopefully. Allow it to not be sucked into a whirlpool which is where things are headed right now but whoever ends up in power is still going to have to deal with an almighty mess the inflation is going through the roof. Economies time king how to fix this. Well first there needs to b. A political solution. And then second you need to think about reconstruction and reconciliation for the country. Venezuela is on a long term path of transformation. And i think it needs to think it has a good chance of being placed in the right direction. But its going to take quite a bit of time and even if there is a political solution to doesnt seventeen. On the. Social crisis is going to continue at least for the foreseeable future michael a coffee thank you very much for joining me a pleasure.
