THEY CALL FOR AN ERAGE OF 35 AND A HALF MILES GALLON BY 2016. THE HEAD OF THE VIRONMENTAL OTECTION AGENCY, LISA JACKSO ID IT WOULD COST $1,300 PER VEHICLE.

THE IRAQI PORTER WHO THREW HIS SHOES AT FORMERRESIDENT BUSH WAS RELEASED FROM PRIN TODAY. WE HAVE A REPORNARRATED BY CHRIROGERS OF INDEPENDENT TELEVISION NEWS.

>> Rerter: HE HAS BEEN I CUSTO SINCE THIS PROTES IN DECEMBER LAST YEAR HISHOES WERE MED AT AN OUTGOING PRESIDENT BSH WHO MANAGED TO DUCK THE ZE 10 MISSILES BUT NOT THE LOCAL REPORTERS' OUTBURSTS A INSULS. WHILE HE LAUGHED IT OFF, THE MAN WAS HANDED A THREE-YEAR JAIL TERM FOR ASSAULT AGO FOREIGN LEADER. WITH HIS EAY RELEASE AFT AN APPEAL MORE EMBARRASSMENT FOR THERAQI GOVERNMENT. HE SAID HE ANS TO TELL HIS STORY ON TELESION, CIMING HE WAS TORTURED BY GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS SHORY AFTER HIS ARREST. AN ACCUSATIO THE IRI AUTHORITIES DENY. WHILE THE IRAQI PRIME MINISTER CONTINUED TALKINGT THE CONFERENCE HE SA HE WAS TORTURED WITH VARIOUSINDS OF TORE E. I WAS EXPOSED TO ELECTRIC SHOCKS A BEATEN WITH CABLES AND IN BARS. HIS RELEASE HAS REIGNITED T DIVIDE OVE HIS ACTIONS. WHILE MANY IRAQIS BRANDIM A SGRACE, A BAN ON CELEBRATION BYUPPORTERS HAS BEEN IGNORED. THE EVIOUSLY LITTLE KNOWN JOURNALIST WORKED F LOCAL TELEVISION REPORTING ON T 2003 IRAQI INVASION, BUT IT S HIS SHOTHROWING PROTEST THAT MA HIM A HERO IN LARGE PARTS THE ARAB WORLD WRE THE THROWING OF SHS IS EN AS A HUGE INSULT. Ifill: AL-ZEIDI ALSO SAI TOY HE FEARS FOR HIS LIFE BECAUSE U.S.GENTS WANT TO KILL HIM. INASHINGTON, A SPOKESMAN FOR THE C.A. SAID, "THAT'S SO FOOLISHS TO WARRANT NO FURTHER COMMENT." A VACCINE FOR THE H1N1 SWI FLU RUS WON U.S. GOVERNMENT APPROVAL TODAY. THFOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION CLEARETHE VACCINE FOR DISTRIBUTION STARTING NEX MONTH. ULTIMATEL IT'S EXPECTED TO BE AVAILABLE AT 90,000 SITES OUND THEOUNTRY. ACTOR PATRICK SWAYZE HAS DIEIN LOS ANGEL AFTER A 20-MONTH BATTLE WH PANCREATIC CANCER. HE ROSE TO FAME WITH HIS 17 PERFORMANCE AS THE MINDERSTOOD DANCE INSTRTOR IN "DIRTY DANCING." IN 1990, HE STARRED THE HIT FILM "OST" ALONGSIDE DEMI MOORAND WHOOPI GOLDBERG. AFTER HIS DGNOSIS IN 2008, SWAYZE OBBIED CONGRESS FOR MORE CANCER REARCH FUNDING. PRICK SWAYZE WAS 57 YEARS OLD AND STILL TO COME ON THE NSHOUR TONIGHT, WAVERING SUPPORT FORHE AFGHAN WAR; CHARGES OF WARRIMES IN THE GAZA CONFLICT; AND TANZAN'S DOCTOR SHORTAGE. THAT FLOWS THE TRADE TUG-OF- WAR BETWEEN THE U.S. ANDHINA. IT'S OVER TIRE IMPORT JEREY BROWN HAS THE STORY.

>> Brown: THPRESIDENT'S APPEARANCE BEFORE BIGABOR TODAY CE JUST DAYS AFTER A SET OF TRA SANCTIONS ANNOUNCED BY HIS ADMINIRATION BROUGHT PRISE FROM UNIONS, AND REPROA OM FREE TRADE ADVOCATES. LATE FRID, THE U.S. SAID IT WOULD IMPO A 35% TARIFF ON CHINESE-MADE TIRES. THAT FLOWED A COMPLAINT BY THE STEELWORKERS UON, CONTENDING THAT CHINESE IMPORTARE FLOODI THE MARKET AND HAVE LED TO THE LOSS OF SOME 5,0 AMERICAN JOBS YESTERDAY THCHINESE GOVERNMENT WARNED IT MIGHT RETALTE AGAIT AMERICAN AUTO AND POULTRY EXPORTS, AND SA IT WOULD BRING ITS N COMPLAINT TO THE WORLD TRADE ORGIZATION. WEXPLORE THIS TRADE TIFF AND ITS POTENTIAL CSEQUENCES NOW WITH CONGRESSN SANDER LEVIN OF MIHIGAN, A DEMOCRAT WHO CHAIRS A KEY TRADE SUBCOMTTEE. AND DANI PRICE, AN ATTORNEY HERIN WASHINGTON WHO SERVED IN THEUSH ADMINISTRATION AS DEPUTYATIONAL SECURITY ADVISOR FORNTERNATIONAL ECONOMIC AFFAIRS. NGRESSMAN LEAVEN, I'LL START WITH YOU. FILL IN T PICTURE AS YOU SEE IT. WH'S THE CASE FOR SANCTIONS HERE SOME.

>> TS IS THIS ISN'T A CAS OFREE TRADE VERS UNIONS. THIIS A MATTER OF TRADE POLICY, SOUND TRADE POCY. WHEN CINA ENTERED THE W.T.O., WE WORKED ON IS. THEY AGED SPECIFICALLY TO SECTION 41. IF THERE WAS A SURGE OF PRODUCTS, WE COULD TAKE TION. AND THERE WAS RE. AND THE INTERNATIONAL TRADE COMMISSION, THE I.C., FOUND THAT. INUST FOUR YEA TIRE IMORTS HERE SURGED FROM 15 MILLION TO ER 45 MILLION. PRICES WERE DERCUT BY THAT. THERE WAS A 30% DISPLACENT IN RMS OF AMERICAN PRODUCTION AND ABOUT 5,000 AMERICAN JOBS WE LOST. SO THIS WAS A MAER OF SOUND TRADE POLY. THE PSIDENT HAS SAID DUNG THE CAAIGN THAT HE WASOING TO ENFORCERADE AGREEMENTS REACHED BY THE CONGRESS, TAKE CH OF THESE CASES ONE BY ONE. TOOK THIS CASE AND HE ABIDED BY THE I.T.C.COMMENDATION. LIKE THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION FOUR TIMES THE I.T.C. RECOMMENDED ACTION, FO TIMES THE BUSH ADNISTRATION SAID . SOUND TRADE POLICY MEANS EXPAND TRADE AND RUL OF COETITION, AND THAT'S WHAT IS EXACTLY AT STAKE HERE.

>> Brow LET ME G A RESPONSEROM DANIEL PRICE. SOUND TRADE POLICY. HOW DO YOU SEE IT?

>> I SEE IT AITTLE BIT DIFFENTLY. WHAT' SO CURIOUS HERES THAT THERE WAS NOALLEGATION OF UNFAIR TRADE. HERE'S NO ALLEGATION OF SUBSIDIES OR DUMPING. RATHE THIS POVISION WAS INVOKED TO DEAL WTH THE CONSEQUENCES OF FAIRLY TDED GOODS, BUT I WAS ORIGINALLY NEGOTIATED WITH CHINAO ALLOW THE U.S. DESTIC INDUSTRY TIME TO JUST TO A SURGE I IMPORTS. CURIOUSLY, WE HAVE NO DOMESTIC MANUFACTURING IN THE TYPE OF TIRES THAT ARE AT ISS HERE. SO IT AVES MANY WONDERING WHY THIS IMPORT TARIFF WAS IMPOSED TO PROTCT A DOMESTIC MANUFACTURING CAPACITY THAT SILY DOES NOT EXIST.

>> Brown: SOME PELE POINT TO POLITI AS. TO SUPPORT THE PRESIDENT'S HELPING SUPPOR... THE PRESIDT HELPING HIS SUPPORTER EXCUSE M, THE TRAD UNIONS. IS THAT WHA YOU'RE SUGGEST SOMETHING.

>> YOU KNOW, IT'S IERESTING. GIVEN THAT THERE WAS NO REAL TIONAL ECONOMIC INTEREST STAKE, ONE CAN ASK WHAT W THE MOTIVATION NO SOME HAVE SUGGESTED INCLUNG CONGRESSMAN LEAVEN THAT TAKING THIS TYPE OF ACTIONILL PAVE THE WAY FOR POSITIVERADE INITIATIVES IN THE FUTURE. IERTAINLY HOPE THAT'S T CAE. BUT ONE MUST VIEW THIS ACTION AGAINST THE BACK DP OF THE INACTION OF THIS ADMINISTRATION AND THE CONGRESS ON THE PENDING KEA AND COMBIA FREE TRADE AGREEMES. AND ALLY A FAIRLY STEAL, I NOT NONEXISTENT,FFIRMATIVE ENDA.

>> Brown:ET ME GO BACK TO CONGRESSMAN LEAVEN. GO AHEAD. DO YOU SEE A REAL GAIN FOR AMERICAN WORKERSIN THIS.

>> ABSOLUTELY. ABSOLUTELY. THE ATTA JUST HEARD IS ABSOLUTELY WRON TIRES MADE BY THE COMPANIES INCLUDE THE TIRES IMPORTED FROM CHINA. THAT'S FACT NUMBER ONE. NUMBER TWO. WHEN WE NEGOTIATED 421, IT SIMPLY REQUIRED THERE BE A SURGE. THERE HAD TO BE A GNIFICANT IMPACT IN TERMS OF INJURY. THAS TRUE HERE. THEURGE WAS CLEAR. 45ILLION VSUS 15 MILLION. IT IMPACTED JOBS IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMECA. AND THIS TION THAT WE HAD TO FIND OTR INGS WHEN CHINA SPECICALLY AGREED TO SECTION 421WHENHEY ENTERED T W.T.O., ANDHAT THE PRESIDENT WAS DOING WA ENFORCING THE CHINA AGREEMENT WITH INA. NOW THAT THEY'RE GOI TO TH W.T.O IT'S BETTER THANEWEN LATIAL ACTIO BY THEM. BUT WHEN THEY AGREE TO SOMETHING ESNTIALLY THE PRIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES IS SAYING, LOOK,RADE POLICY WOT WORK IF WHAVE EXPANDED TRADE ANDULES OF COMPETITION. BUT THE RULES OF COMPETITION EN'T FOLLOWED BY THE OTHER COUNTRY. THERE HATO BE A MUTUALITY HERE. THAT'SHAT SEION 421 IS INVOLV. JO WERE AT STA HERE. THE PRESIDENT STOOD UP F JO IN AMERA. UNDER SECTION 1 SPECIFICALLY PUT IN TO THE CHINA ENTRY ITO THE W.T.O.

>> Brown: MR. PRICE, WHAT IS THE FEAR HERE ABOUT CREATING KIND OF TRADE WAR WITH CHINA. WHAT IS THE PENTIAL THEY HAVE TO IMPOSE ON U WHAT DO YOU SEEAPPENING?

>> WELL, TERE'S TWO CONCERNS. FIRST, COULD I SAY I AGREE WI CONGRESSMA LEAVEN TH WE NEED VIGOROUS ENFORCEMENT. FACT, THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION BROUG I BELIEVE IAS EITW.T.O.'S CASES AGAINST CHINA. >>ONLY SIX OFHEM, DAN. WHEN WE TOOK OVER THE HOUSE. BEFE THAT, THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION SAT ONTS HANDS IN TERMS OF TRDE RELATIONS WITH CHINA AND THE REST OF THE COUNTRY. ANDHE WAY THEY HANDL 421 WAS THE SUPREME EXAMPLE. FOUR TIMES THE I.T.C.SAID ACT. FOUR TIMES THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION SAT ON ITS HANDS. WHAT IS ADMINISTRATION IS SAYING, NDS ON INSTEAD OF THIS HANDS-OFFPPROACH. Brown: COME BACK TO WERE WE A RIGHT NOW, MR. PRICE.

>> THANK YOU. I THINK OUR TRADING PARTNERS NOT JUST CHINA A GOING TO LOOK AT TS WITH SOMEALARM. AS I SAID-- AND THE CONGRESSMAN AND I CAN DISAGREE ABOUT THE FACTS-- TERE IS NO DOMESTIC MANUFACTURING CAPACITY THAT HAS BEE IMPRED.

>> THAT NOT TRU, DAN WELL....

>> Brown: HOLD ON, NGRESSMAN.

>> RIGT. SECOND, AS I SAID IT WILLBE LOOKED AT INTHE CONTEXT OF REPEATED G-20 LEADER PLEDGES, NOT TO ENGAGE INPROTECTIONIST OR TRADE CLONG MEASURES. ETHER OR NOT THOSE MEASURES ARE PERMITTED BY T W.T.O. THERE'S LS OF DISASARY ACTIONS THAT GOVERNMENTSAN TAKTO RAISEARRIERS. THIS WASNEAKEN BY THIS ADMINISTRATION. I THINK IT'S UNFORTUNATE.

>> Brown: CONGSSMAN, THAT'S NOTHER ISSUE IS THE TIMING, OF COURSE. THE G-20 MEETI IS COMI UP IN PISBURGH PRETTY SOON. THE PRESIDE DIDN'T HAVEO THIS AT THIS TIME. IS THERE SOME CCERN ABOUT DOING INOW? AND THEIGNAL THAT IT SENDS TO THE RT OF THE WORLD?

>> LOOK, TRE WAS A TIME LIMITION HERE UNDER THE LAW. HE HAD ACT ONEWAY OR THE OTHER. IN ENFORCING TRE LAWS AGREED TO BY OTHER COUNTRY S IS NOT PRECTIONISM. IT'S E OPPOSITE OF PROTECTIONISM. IT'FOR A TRADE POLICY BUILT ON EXPANDED TRADBUT WITH RULES OF COMPETITION THAT VERYBODY SHOULD FILE... FOLLOW AND WHAT THE PRESIDENT WAS SAYING HERE WA CHIN, YOU AGREED TO IT WE'RE NOW GOING TO ENFORCE THAT AGEMENT BECAUSE AMERICAN JOBS ARET STAKE.

>> Bro: MR. LEAVEN, JUST BRIEFLY. LET ME ASK U, IS THERE ANY FEAR HERE THAT IS MIGHT EXPAND TO OTHER ARS? I SAW TH THE HEAD OF THE STEELWORKERSUNION WAS TALKING ABOUT ATEAST LOOKING AT SOME OTHER ARE OF U.S.-CHINA TRADE. DOES THAT CONCERN YOU?

>> THE ARE STANDARD BUILT IN TO 421. THEY WRE MET HERE. THE HAS TO BE AND FINDING THAT THE STANDARDS ARE MET HERE. THERE HAS TO BE A MARED... MKET DISRUPTIONMEN H. THEY FOUND TAT HERE. A MATERAL IMPACT HERE. JOBS LT. SURGE OF TRES. SO I THINK WE HA STANDAR HEE. WHAT WE ARE ING IN THIS CASE IS IS FOLLOWING OSE STANDARDS ILE THE CHINESE E NOT. ANYOU CAN'T HAVE SOUND TRAD POLICIESWHEN ONE SIDE ABIS ITS AGREEMENT A THE HER SIDE DOESN'T.

>> Brown: MR. PRICE?

>> AS I JUSTAID THERE WAS NO ALLEGATION THAT CNA BREACHED ANY RADE RULES OR DID NOT ABIDEBY AGREEME5MW AND I THI THERE IS CONCERN OUT THE FUTURE. WE SEE... I READ THE SAME QUOTE YOU DID. THERE'S DISCUSSION ABO CEMENT, STEEL, GLASS, TEXTIES AN APPAREL. THEY'RE LING UP TO VOKE THIS RELIE AND THEY'RE HOPG THAT E PRESIDT WILL DO THE SAME THING. THE AL QUESTION IS, HAVING SAID ONCE YESWHEN THERE IS NO DOMESTIC MANUCTURING CAPABILI, HOW DOYOU SAY NO WHEN THERE,N FACT I ONCE YOU START FEEDING THAT PROTECTIONISMBEAST, HO DO YOU EVER SINK?

>> Brown: WE HAVEO LEAVE IT THERE. WE'LL WATCH HOW THIS DEVELOPS. DANIEL PRICE AND CONGRESSMAN SANDERS LEAVEN,HANK YOU BOTH VERY MUCH.

>> THANK YOU FOR HING ME.

>> THANK YOU.

>> PROVIDING THE RESOURCES NEEDS FR THE AHAN ARMY AND AFGHAN POLICE TO BECOME SELF-SUFFIENT WOULD DEMOTRATE O COMMITMENT TO TH SUCCESS OF A MISSION THAT IS IN O NATIONAL SECURITY INTEREST. ILE AVOIDING THE RISKS ASSOCIATED WI A LARGER U.S. FOOTPRINT. IELIEVE THESETEPS SHOULD BE URGENTLY IMPLENTED BEFORE WE CONSIDER A FURTHER INCREASE IN U.S. OUND COMBAT TROOP BEYOND WH IS ALRDY PLANNED TO BE DEPLOYEDY THEND OF THYEAR.

LEADING DEMOATS ARE WNING TH WHITE HOUSE THAT THEY ARE SEEING ON THE GUND IN AFANISTAN THEY'RE NOT READY TO SUPPORT ANOTHER INCREASE IN AMERICAN TROOPS.

>> Warner IF GENERAL McCHRYSL SAYS HE NEEDSORE TROOPS, WHEN TH GET SUPPORT HERE?

>> I THINK THERE'S A GREAT... LET M SPEAK FOR MYSELF. I WOULD BE VERY RELUCTA JUST TO RUBBER STAMP DITIONAL TROOPS WITHOUT IS EXAMINATION THATI'VE TALKED ABOUT.

>> Warner: CALIFOIA'S DIANNE FEINSTEIN WHO CHAIRS THE SENATE INTELLIGENCE COMMITTEE, IS NOW CALLING FOR A TIME LINE IN AFGHANISTAN. PERHAPS AS SHO AS A YEAR.

FIRST, ALONG WITH THE INCREASE IN TRPS, U.S. CAALTIES ROSE SHARPLY. JULY'S AMERICAN DEATHS MARK THE WORST MONTH IN EIGHT YEARS OF FIGHTING UNTIL AUGUST EN 51AMERICANS DIED. AS DEAHS INCRSED, PUBLIC SUPPORTWINDLED. IN A "WASHINGTON POST"/ABC NEWPOLL IN LTE AUGUST, A MAJORITY OF AMERICANS POLLED SAID THE WAR ISN'T WOH FIGING.

DEMOCRATIC CORESSWOMAN JANE HARMON, A PRO DEFENSE VOICE OF HER RTY, SAID SHE WOUL'T SUPPORT A TROOP INCREASE UNTIL THE CORRUPTION ISSUEIN AFGHASTAN IS ADDRESSED. SHE SAYS THE DEMOCRATS' GROWING UNEASE GREW T OF ALL THESE FACTORS D MORE.

>> I THINK IT IS LESSONS TO ARN FROM IRAQ. MANY OFUS, CERTAINLY I HAVE ARNED MANY LESSONSFROM IRAQ. E SECOND PIECE ISESULTS ON THE GROUND. WE CAN SEE THIS. YOU GO TO GHANISTAN.

>> Warner: PRESIDENT OBA YESTERDAY PROMIS A FULL DEBATE BEFORE MKING ANY FURTHER DECISIONS ON AFGHAN WAR SATEGY. ON CAPITOL HILL, HE IS SUR TO GET ONE. >>fill: NOW, A STRONGLY WORDED U.N. REPORT ON T ISRAELI CAMPAIGIN GAZA. THE REPORT FOCSES ON LAST DECEMBER'S 32-DAY AIR AND GROUND CAMPAIGNIN GAZA. THE ISRAELI MILITA OFFENSI FOLLOWED YEARS OF ROCKET ATTACKS LAUNCD INTO SOUTHERN ISRAELBY HAMAS AND OTHER PALESTINIAN MILITANTS. SEPARATE ACCOUNT PLACED THE NUMBER OF PALESTINIAN CASUALTY AT OR AROUND 1400 INCLUDG AN UNDETERMINED NUMBER OF CIILIANS. THE ISRLI GOVEMENT REPORTED 13 ISRAELIS KILLED DURING THE THREE WEEKS OF FIGHNG. TEN OF THEM SDIERS. REPORTS CCLUDE THAT ISRAEL DELIBERATE TARGETED CIVILIANS BY LAUNCHING MILITARY OPERATIONSGAINST HOMES, FAORIES, SCHOOLS AN HOSPITALS IN A DELIBERATE POLICY OF DISPROPORTIONATE FORCE. THE 574-PAGE RERT FOCUSES PRIMARILY ON WHAT IT CALLS AVE BREECHES BY ISRAELI FORCES INUDING WILLFUL KILLING, TORTURE, ORINHUMAN TATMENT,WILLFULLY CAUSING EAT SUFFERING OR SERIO INJUR BODY OR HEALTH AND EXTSIVE DESTRUCTION OF PROPERTY. THE ISRAELIGOVERNMENT DID NOT COOPERATE WTH T IESTIGATION. THE REPORT AO DETERMINED THAT PALESTINN MITANT GROUPVIOLATED INTERNATIONAL LAW IN PA BECAUSE THEY FAILED TO DISTINGUISH BETWEEN MILITARY TARGETS AND A CIVILIAN POPULATION. ISRAELI OFFICIA SAID TODAY THE FINAL REPORT IS ONE-SIDED, A FARCE OF A HUMAN RITS FAC FINDI COMMISSION. HAMAS ALSOCRITICIZED THE REPORSAYING IT WAS EQUATING E VICTIM AND THE AGGRESSOR. THE REPORT AND ITS RECOMMENDATIONS WILL B PRESENTED TO THE HUMAN GHTS COUNCIL IN GENEVALATER THIS MONTH. I SPOKE WI JUSTICE RICHARD GOLDSTONE, WHO LE THE U.N. FACT-FINDINMISSION, FROM THE UNITED NATIONS EARLIETHIS EVENING. JUSTICE GOLDSTONE. WELCOME. WE SAW WT YOUR REPORT'S ONCLUSIONS WERE TODAY, BUT WHAT WAS THE IMPETUSOR IT?

>> WL, THE IMPET FOR IT WAS REALLY THE RESOLUON OF THE HUMAN RIGHTS COUNCIL WHICH CALD FOR A FACT-FINDING MISSION TO B DISPATCHED URGELY TO THE REGION TO IESTIGATE VLATIONS, ALLED VIOLATIONS OF INTERNATIONALUMAN RIGHTS LAW AND INTERTIONAL HUMANITARIAN LAW, HE LAW OF WAR. AND TT'S WHERE THE ORIN IS TO BE FOUND. THERE WAS TN SOME DEBATE ABOUT THE TERMS OFHE MANDATE AND EVEUALLY I WAS GIVEN A MANDE TOGETHER WITH MY... THE OTHER MBERS OF THE FACT- FINDING MISSION WCH WE CONSIDERED TO BE EVENANDED AND LOOKED AT ALL RELEVANT FACTS AND CRCUMSTANCES IN THE CONTEXT OF THE MILITA OPERATIONS ATEGINNING OF THE YEAR.

>> Ifill: THE TERM "EVEN HANDED" ITHE PROBLEM AT ISRAEL HAS WTH THE CONCLUSIONS ITHE REPORT. YOUR CRITISM OF ISRAEL SEEMS SO MUCH HARSHER THAN THAT OF THE PALESTINIANS WHY IS AT?

>> WELL, YOU KNOW, THE ALLEGATIONS AGAINST THE PALESTINIAN ARMED GROUPS RELATE TO THE FIRINGF ROCKETS AND MORTARS. ERE ISN'T MUCH DISPUTE THERE I'T ANY DISPE THAT TY FIRED THOSE ROCKETS AND MORTARS. WHAT WE LOOKED INTO WAS THE EFFECTN THE CIVILIAN POPULATION OF SOUTHERN ISRAEL O IS AT THE RECEING END OF OSE ROCKETS AND MORTARS. THAT WAS THE ISSUE. IN RESPECT OF ALLEGED WAR CRIMES COMMITTED BY T... B THE ISRA DEFENSE FORCE IT WAS A LOT MO COMPLICATED. THERE WERE 36 INCIDENTS WEAD TO LOOK INTO. SOME OF THEM DIUTED. MANY NNOT BE DISPUTED. BUT, YOU KNOW, I DON'T BELIE THAONE CAN SORT OF COUNT WORDS COUNT CHAPTERS D AY, WELL, THE REPORT DEALS IN X-NUMBER OF PES OR X-NUMBER OF WORDS WITH CKETS AND ORTARS IN COMPARISON INTO THE NUMBEOF PAGES OR CHAPTERS DEALING WITH ISRAE VIOLATNS.

>> Ifill: YOU SAYTHAT YOU INVESTIGATED 36 SEPARATE INCIDENTS. WITHOUT IRAEL'S COOPERATION IN GET TO GOTHE BOTTOM OF HIS, HOW CULD YOU REACH A FAIR CONCLUSION?

>> WELL, WEAD A LOT OF INFORMATI TO GO O WE WERE IN GAZA FOR A NUMB OF DAS. WE WERE ABLE TO SEE WITH OUR N EYES WHAT PHYSICAL DAMAGE WAS DONE. WERE ABLE TO HEAR AND E MANY OFHE VICTIMS WHO WERE AFFECTED BY T. I'M TALKING ABOUT A LOT OF WOMEN AND CHILDREN AND MEN WH LOST LOVED ES, WHO RE INJURED THEMSVES. THEY KNOW WHAT HAPPED TO THEM. WE WERE ABLE TO MAKE AN AESSMENT OF THE CREDIBILITY WH WHICH THEY SPOKE TO U AND WE HAD A LOT OF INFOATION THAT CAME FROM ISRAEL. BOTH FROMTHE GOVERNMENT. ERE WAS A LONG 160-ODD PAGE REPORT FROM TH ISRAE GOVERNMT GIVING THEIR VERSION. WE TOOTHAT FULLY INTO ACCOUNT. IN KING OUR FINDINGS. AND WE HAD WONDERF INFORMATIOBOTH WRITTEN AND MORE IMPORTANT ORAL. WE HAD WNESSES FROM IMPORTANT ISRAE AND PALESTINIAN NON-GOVERNMENTAL ORGANIZATIONS. SO REALLY WE HAD A PRETTYULL PICTURE. OBVISLY IT WOULD HAVE BEEN PREFERABLE TO HAVEEEN ABLE TO HAVE THE SENIOR MEMBERS OF THE ISRLI GOVERNMENT AND DEFENSE FCE. BU OBVIOUSLY WE HATO DO THE ST WE COULD WITHOUT THAT. D THE BALL IS NOW IN THEIR COURT I WE'VE GOT FACTS WRONG, IF TY WANT TO CONTRADICT THE WELL, THAT'S ABSOLUTELY HEIR RIGHT. BUT FND DISAPPOINTING A SIMPLE REJECTION OF THE PORT ON GUNDS THAT DON'T BEGIN TO DEAWITH THE MERITSOR THE FACTS.

>> Ifill: DID YUR INVTIGATION LEAD YOU TO CONCLUDE TH THERE ARE INDIVIDUALS O SHOULD BE HELD CULPABLE EIER ON THE ISELI OR T PALESTINIAN SIDE OF THIS?

>> WELL, TAT WASN'T PART R MANDATE. WE LOOKE INTO THE QUESTION AS TO WHETHER VIOLATIO, WAR CRES, VIOLATIONS OF HUMAN RIGHTS LAW WERE COMMITD. IT WOULD BE UP TO A CRIMINAL INVESTIGATOR, A OSECUTOR, HOPEFULLY IN ISRAEL, HOPEFUY IN E GAZA TO LOOK INTO THE QUESTION OF INDIVIAL GUILT. THAT WASN'T ON OUR AGENDA.

>> Ifill: BUTOU HAVE RECOMMEED REPARATIONSBE PAID TO PEOPLE WHO SUFFER.

>> TT'S CORRECT.

>> Ifill: WHY IS THAT? AND WHO WOULD P IT IF THERE'S ONE TO POINT THE FINGER AT.

>> LL IT'S A QUESTION OF GOVERNMENT RESPONSIBILITY. AND POSSIBLY THE INTEATIONAL COMMUNIT THATEPARATIONS FOR VICTIMS WOULD BE REL ADVANTAG EVEN WITHOUT... RELENT EVEN WITHOUT ESTABLISHING THE GLT OF ANY PARTICULAR INDIVIAL.

>> Ifi: WHAT HAPPENS TO THIS NOW? DOES IT GO TO THE U.N. CURITY COUNCIL, TO THE WAR CRIMES TRINAL AND WHAT IF ISRAE CHOOSES NOT TO CPERATE IN THE NEXT STEP?

>> YOU KNOW,E'VE DONE O WORK. WE'VE ESTABLISHED TO THEBEST OF R ABILITY AND I WOULD SUEST IN AN EVEN-HAND MAER. WE'VEESTABLISHED THE FACTS O SOME THE FACTS THAT A RELEVANT. WE DIDN'T LOOK INTO EVERY INCIDENT OBVIOUS. WE HAD THREE SHORT MONS TO OUR WORK. WE CHOSE 36 CIDENTS IN GAZA TO LOOK TO. BUT THE RECOMMEATION IS THAT THE ISRAELI AUTRITIES AND THE GAZA AUTHITIES SHOU THEMSELS HAVE OP PUBLIC INVESTIGATIONS AND TRE HAVE BEEN NONE TODA THE ISRAELI INVESTIGATIONS HAVE BEEN BTHE MILITARY. THERE HAVE BEENSECRET INQUIRIES. THAT DOESN'T SATISFY, CERTAINLY DOES'T SATISFY ANY REASONABLE OBJECTE OBSERVER. SO WE'VE RECOMMENDED,HE SECURITY CUNCIL SHOULD REQUIRE DOSTIC INVESGATIONS. IF THEYE NOT HELD IN AN APPROPRIATE MNNER TO REFER E MATTER TO THE SECURITY... TO THE INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL COURT SNJUSTICEICHARD GOLDSTONE OF THE U.N. FACT FINDING SSION. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

>> A PLEASUR

>> Ifill: WE GET THE ISRAELI RESPONSE NOW FROM MICHAEL OREN, ISRL'S AMBASSADOR TO THE UNITED STATES. W >>Ifill: WE GET THE ISRAELI REPONSE FROM MICHAEL OREN, ISRAES AMBASSADOR TO THE UNITED STATES. JUICE GOLDSTONE SAID THE BALL IS IN YOUR REPORT. WHAT ABOUT THIS RORT IS RIGHT AND AT IS WRONG? >>ON THE ISRAELI DE OR ON THE PALESTIAN SIDE, ISRAEL DOES ITS UTMOST TOVOIDtg ILICTING CIVILIAN CASUALTS DURING MILITARY OPERATIONS. THIS CONTRASTS US VERY UNDAMENTALLY, PROFOUNDLY, WITH HMAS AND GAZWHICH DOES ITS UTMOST TO MAMIZE CIVILIAN CASUALTIES ON T ISRLI KPID AND EX-ULTS IN CIVILIAN CASUALTIESN ITS OWN SIDE DECLARING TH AS MARTYRS. THOPERATION IN GZA OF LAST WINTER FOLLED YEARS IWHICH ISRAEL WAS SUBJECTED ROCKET FIRE. OR 7,0 ROCKETS FIRED INTO SOUTRN ISRAEL. AT ONE POINT MOST A MILLION ISRAELIS WERENDER A ROCKET FIRE. ROCKETS TAT WERE DELIBERATELY TARGETED AT R NEIGHBORHOODS, ATOUR NURSERY SCHOOLS, AT OUR HOSPITA. IT FOLLOWED THE EVUATION OF GAZA IN WHICH IAEL EVACUATED 9,000OF ITS CIVILIANS, UPROOT,PULLED OUTTS ARMY SES IN AN ATTEMPT TO CREATE PEACUL CONDITIONS ALONG THE GAZA BORDERWITH ISRAEL ANDIN RETUR GOT THIS MURDEROUS ROCKET FIRE. ULTIMATELY ISRAEL HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO SUMMO ITS CIVILIAN ARMY AND TO DEND ITSELF. WE HA APPEALED TO T U.N. FOR RELIEF. ISRAELIS LEADERS BGED HAMAS TO EXTEND A CEASE-FIRE. ALL WE T WAS AGGRESSN. WE HAD NO CHOICE BUT TOEFEND OURSEES HERE, GWEN.

>> Ifill: WHY DN'T ISRAEL PARTICIPAE, COOPERATE, TELL ITS SIDE OFTHE STORYO THIS U.N. COMMISSION.

>> FIRST O ALL THE HUMAN RIGHTS MMISSION HAS CONDEMNED ISRAEL MORE FREQUENTLY THAN ALLTHER TIONS IN THE WORLD COMBINED. MORE THAN LIBYA, MOREHAN NORTH KOREA,ORE THAN SAUDI ARABIA. IT'S HDLY AN IMPARTL BODY. THIS IS THE SAME HUMANRIGHTS COMMISSION THAT COPLETELY IGNOD HAM ROCKET FIRE INTO ISRAEL OV THE COURSE OF FOUR YEARS. THE MANDATE OF E COMMISSION SAID THAT ISRAEL WAS GUILT OF WAR CRIMES, SAIDOTHING ABOUT HAMAS IN THE ACTUAL MADATE. ONE OF THE JUDG INVOLVED IN THE COMMSION HAD PUBLISHED A LETTER ACCUSING ISRAEL OF UNWARRANTED GRESSION. FINALLY T COMMISSION ITSELF, THE REPORT, THE INVESTIGATION, TOOPLACE UNDER THE AUSCES OF T HAMAS-RUN GOVERNMT IN GAZA. HAMAS ACTUALLY PICKED E WITSSES FOR THIS COMMISSION. SO ISRAEL BASICALLY WAS THE EQUIVALT O BEING SUMNED TO A COURT IN WHICH ITS GUILT WAS ALREADY PRESUMED, IN WHICH ONE OFHE JURORERS HAD ALREY DECLARED ISRAEL GUIL AND WHICH THE WITNESSES FOR THE PROCUTION WERE IN FACT THE MURDERE. I CAN'T THINK OF A COUNTRY IN THE WOD WHICH WOD PARTICIPATE IN SUCH A FARCEF JUSCE.

>> Ifl: THERE WERE ALSO SOME ISRAELI NGOs, NOT GOVERNMENT ORGANIZATION EPRESENTATIVE, THE FATHER AN ISRAELI SDIERHO IS BEING LD WHO WERE FLOWN TO GEVA TO TESTIFY BEFORE THIS COMMITTEE. DO YOU NOT ACCEPT THEIR TESTONY AT ALL?

>> I DON'T KNOW ANYTNG ABOUT THEIR TESTIMONY ISRAEL IS A DEMOCRACY. ISRAELIS HAVE A GHT TO SPEAK OUT IN A FORUMS THAT THEY NT TO. THIS ANSRAELI GOVNMENT DECISION NOT TO PARTICIPATE, NOT CPERATEWITH AN IESTIGATION WHICH WE THOUGHT WAS DEEPLY DEEPLY BIASED AGAINST FROM THE VERY BEGINNI.

>> Ifill: EVENF YOU FELT IT WAS BIASED, NOW IT'SUT THERE. IT SAYS THING LIKE YOU'RE UILTY OF WAR CRIMES, TTURE, A GRAVE BREACH OTHE GENEVA CONVENTION. HOW DO YOU WIPE THAT SLATE CLEAN?

>> I DON'T THINK WE HA TO WIPE THE SLE CLEAN. I THINK U LOOK AT THE MANDE OF THIS INVESTIGATION. YOU SAW TH WAY IT WAS CONDUCTED, UNDERWHOSE AUPICES IT WAS CONDUCTE ISRAEHAS DEEPLY INVESTIGATED ITS OERATION. WE HAVE AN OPEN JUDICIARY, A FREE JUDICIARY. WE INVESTIGATED INNUMERABLE COMPLAINTS IRREGULARITIES. E ARMY WAS CLEAR OF VIRTUALLY ALL OF THM. INTHE FEW CASES WHERE IT WASN'T CLEARED, THEY' BEING THOROUGHLY INVESTIGATE THEYE BEN EVEN PROSETED. ERE IS A CLE RECORD ESTABLISHED BY RAEL OF THE WAY THE CAMPAIGN WAS CONDUCTED AND THE IMMEE EFFORTS THAT WERE TAKEN TO AVOID CIVILIAN CAUALTIES INCLUDING LEAFLETTINGIVILIAN AREAS, MAKIN HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF PHE CALLS, SENDING M.S.M.- MESSAGES TO ARS THAT WERE ABOUT TO BE ATTACKED TO CIILIANS. SACRIFICING THE ELEMTS OF SURPRISE, RISKI OUR OWN SOLDIER'S LIVES IN ORDERO MINIZE THOSE CIVIAN CASUALTIES. ALOF NO THAT IS A MATTER OF RECORD.

>> PARDON MY EARLIER INTERRUPTION. THEUSTICE SAID THEY WERE NOT RELIABLE. THIS IS AN INDEPENDEN JUDICRY OF A DEMOCRATIC COUNTRY. I THINK TH ONCE YOU START TABLISHING T PRECEDENT THAT DEMOCRATIC COUNTRIES CAN INVESTIGATE THEELVES, I THINK YOU HAVE PROBLEM. I TNK THIS REPORT CREATES A PROBLEM NOT JU FOR ISRAEL BUT FOR ALLREE DEMRACIES IN THE WORLD. IT'S VICTORY FOR TERROR. IS A MAJORSETBACKOR ANY COUNTRY, SDEM KARATIC COUNTR THAT IS HANG TO FACE WAR AGAINST ANNUNIFORMED TERRORIST. I DON'T THINK THE UNID STATES WOULD LE TO SEE A SIMILAR REPORT MOUNTED AGAINST ITS CONDUCT INFGHANISTAN.

>> Ifill: HAMAS FELT TATITY QUITED THE AGGRESSOR WITH THE VICTIM. ISHERE ANY WAY THAT THESE... THAT YOU FEEL THE T OF YOU MIG AT LEAST AGREE ON THIS POT THAT MAYBE THISEPORT ISOT WORT THE PAPER IT'S PRINTED ON DO YOU BELVE THIIS A STARTING POINT R A DEEPER CONRSATION AND INVESTIGAON ABOUT THE CONFLICT?

>> I DON'THINK SO. I THINK THAT THERE ARE DISCUSSIONS GOING O IN JERUSALEM TONIGHT BETWN PRESIDENTBAMA'S SPECIAL ENVOY, SATOR MITCHING, REPSENTATIVES OF THE ISRAELI GOVERNMENT TO T PEACE LKS ACK ON TRACK. TWEEN ISRAEL AND TH LESTINIAN AUTHORITY. SAME LESTINIAN AUTHORITY THAT WA OVTHROWN VIOLENTLY BY HAMAS IN GA. I THINK THAT IS WHERE TH DISSSIONS SHOU TAKEPLACE NOT IN A ONE-SIDED BIASE REPORT WHOSE CONCLUSIONS WERE FOREGON

>> Ifill: DO U BELIEVE IN AN WAY TH REPORT COULD AFFECT THOSE TALKS?

>> THINK IT CAN ONLY HARM THE ABILITY O FR DEMIES IN THE WORLD T DEFEND THEMSELVES. >>fill: AMBASSADOR MICHEL OREN FROM THE STATEF ISRAEL, THA YOU SO MUCH. THANK YOU, GWEN.

>> ill: FINALLY TONIGHT, TO OUR OBAL HEALTH UNIT, WITH T FIR IN A THREE-PART SERIES ABOUTANZANIA ANITS EFFORTS TO ADDRESS THE DEEP MEDIC OBLEMS AFFLICTING THE EAST AFRICAN NATION. TONIGHTAY SUAREZ LOOKS AT THE SRTAGE OF DOCTORS.

>> Suarez: IN A DUSTY RURAL HOSTAL IN NORTHERN TANZANIA, A YOUNG WOMANEQUIRES EMERGENCY SURGEY. A RUPTUREDPPENDIX IS SUSPECTED BUT THIS PERSON IS ALARMED WHEN HE SLICES INTO 27-YEAOLD'S ABMEN AND NDS A WIDESPREAD TOXIC INFECTION.

>> Suare THISPATIENT'S HEART IS FAILG BEFO SUERY. THIS IMPOVERISHED HOSPITAL HA ONLY TH CRUDEST OPERATING ROOM TOOLS IT'S A WONDER TH SURGERY WAS A SUCCESS. WHAT'S MORE AMAZING IS THI AN IS NOT A MEDICAL DOCTOR. HE'S TANZAA'S VERSION OF A PHYSIAN'S ASSISTAN >>VERY, VERY DIFFICULT.

>> SuarezIN FACT, AT THIS CROWDED DISTRICT HOSPITAL IN TANZANIA WHERE PATIENTS DOLE AND EVEN TRIPLEUP ON BEDS, THERE'S ONLYNE FULLY TRAINED PHYSICIAN FOR A POPULATION OF 800,000. HE'S DR. LEONRD SUBY, AND HE WORKMAINLY AS AN ADMINISTRATOR.

>> Suarez: MORE TAN 40 MILLION PEOP. THE GOVERNMENTAS BEEN WORKING HD TO GET TRNED MEDICAL PERSONNEL EVEN IN THE SMALST COMMUNITIES. BUT WITH THIS TOWN'S VAST POPULATION BASE, THE HOSPITAL MUST MA DUE BY RELYING ON ASSISNT MEDICAL OFFICERS LIKEHIS ONE TO FILL THE GAP.

>> THIS I SHIFTING. MEONE WHO IS NOT AOCTOR DOING JOB OF A DOCTOR. THAT IS WHAT HAS KEPT US ALIVE

>> Suaz: TANZANIA'S MINISTER OF HEALTH EXPLAINS H HIS COUNTRY STRUGGLED MEET ITS HEALTH CARE NEEDS.

>> IN THE U. IF YOU FELL ILL AND YOUE TAKEN TO HOSPITAL, YOU ARE GOING TO GET A DOCTOR. IN MY COUNTRY A LOT PEOPLE HAVE GONE T THEIR GRAVES WITHOUT MEETING A CTOR. SO WEEED DOCTORS. BUT WE REALLYDON'T DEPENDON THEM ONLY.

>> Suarez: INSTEAD TANZANIA LOOKS TO ITS CLINICAL WORKERS. SO WITH THEEQUIVALENT OF A 7th GRADE EDUCATIONN THE UNED STATES AND SENTHEM BACK TOCHOOL. >WE DESIGNED A SYSTEM WHERE WE'VE BEEN TRAINING PEOPLE T FIND ANFFICER WHO... WHO WAS ACTUALLY A PERSONHO GOES TO SCHOOL TO A TRAING COLLEGE FOR THREE YEAR HE BECOMES A MEDIL AIDE OR BECOMES A CLICAL OFFICER. FOR MALARIA, FORINSTANCE, WE TECH THEM ABOUT THE CMON CONDITIONS MOST OFHE COMMON CONDIONS WHERE INFECTIOUS DISEASES,OU KNOW, TOP TEN DISEASES CALL THEM. SO THEY BECOME PROFIENT.

>> Suez: DESPITE THE PROFICIENCYS, ASSISTANT MICAL OFFICERSR A.M.O.s FACE DAUNTING ODDS BY THE TIME PATIENTS WITH LITTLEMONEY AND NO TRSPORTATION FINALLY MKE IT TO A DISTRICT HOSPITAL LIKE THIS ONE, THEY'RE QUIT ILL HANG DELAYED CARE. MANY ARE PREGNANT WOMEN IN LABOR WITH MPLICATIONS. A.M.O.s DO CAESAREAN SECTIONS ALL DAYLONG AND MANY HAVE BECOME QUITE SKILLED AT THEM. STILL MATERNAL MORTALITY RATES REMAIN GRIM. AT LEA ONE MOTHER A WEEK ES IN CHILDBIRTH AT THE HOSPITAL. IN TANZANIA AS WHOLE, A MOTHER DS EVERY HOUR TANZAIA'S MEDICAL DEFICIT GO WELL YOND THE DOCTOR SHORTAGE. THERE ARE TOO FEW NURSES. TOO LITTLEQUIPMENT. ONE X-RAY MACHINE SERVES 0,000 PEOPLE.

>> NEED GOOD DIAGNOST EQUIPMENT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE DIAGNOSPATIENTS AND WE GIVE THEM THE RIGHT TREATMENT, OKAY? BUT WE NEED THEMONEY. THEY NEE THE MONEY.

>> Suarez:ND WHILE MONEY IS ULTITELY THE PROBLEM, THE TANZANIAN GOVERNNT HAS PLEDG MILLIONS TO UPGRADE HEALTCARE AND GRADUATE MORE MEDICAL DOCTORS. THE COUNTRIS POOR. SALARIES WITH STUNNINGLY LOW LESS THAN $200 A MONTH. THISOCTOR LEFT PATIENT RE TO WORK ON H.I.V.-PREVENTON FOR AN NG.O. SH'S NOW PAID TEN TIMESORE. BUT THISOCTOR SAYS A LACK OF SUPPORT STAFF WAS ALS A FACTOR.

>> IT ISUITE HIGH. I WOULD THINK GOING BACK IF IT WOULD P BETTER.

>> Suarez: E GOVERNMENT HOPES ITS PLANO TRAIN MO MEDICAL SUPPORTSTAFF WILL EASE TH BN-OUTOW FELT BY DOCTORS IN PUBLIC PRACTI. AND IN THE MEANTIME, NEW DOCTS ARE COMING ONLINE FOR TANZANIA. AN OANIZATION CALLED THE TOUCH FOUNDATION WAS CREATED SOLELY TO LP TANZANIA'S CTOR AND HEALTH WORKER SHORTAGE.

>> YOU HAVE A MOTR WHOS COUGHING FOR THREE WEEK

>> Suare FINANCEDEDOSTLY WITH PRIVATE AND PUBLIC MONEY FROM THE UNITED STATES TOUCH CRATED A MEDICAL SCHOOLT THIS MEDIL CENTER ONE OF TANZANIA'S LAGEST HOSPITALS ON THE SHORES OF LE VICTORIA. THE NEW SCHOOL WHICH I ALSO SUPPORTED BYANZANIA'S GOVERNMENT NOW HAS 800 TANZANIAN STUDENTS AND PLANS O DOUBLE THE NUMBERF DOCTORS IN THE REGN. 00 FOUNDATION HOPES TO CAPITALIZE ON MONEYOURING IN FROM THE GLOBAL COUNITY TO HELP WITH DISEASESIKE H.I.V., TUBEULOSIS AND MALARIA BY EMPHASIZI THE NEED FOR MEDICAL DOCTORS TO TRAT THOSE DISEASE LEE WELLS IS THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOOF THE TOUCH FODATION.

>> IF WARE ABOUT H.V./AIDS PATIENTS, IF WE CARE ABOUT MALARIA PATIENTS, FANT MORTALITY ALL OF THESE CRUCIAL AREAS EN WE OUTTO CARE ABOUT HOW THAT CARE IS DEVERED.

>> Suarez: R ALL THE UCCESSES TANZANIA HAS HAD WI ITS ASSISTANT MEDICAL FICERS OR A.M.O.s, THERE EXPERIENCE CAN'TLWAYS MTCH THE KNOWLEDGE OF A MEDICAL DOCTOR, ASAS THE CASE ON MORNING ROUNDS DR. ROBERT PEC THE DOCTOR ON LOAN FROM CORNELMEDICAL COLLEGE DISCUED WITH HIS MEDICAL STENTS THE CASE OF A MALL NOURISHEDABY WHO WAS ST BACK TO THE HOSPITAL AFTER BEI TREATED BY A.M.O.s.

>> WHEN YOU HAVE SEVE MALNUTTION ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT THINGS IS TO TNK ABT THE CAUSE. TOSK WHY. BECAUSE IF WE DON'TNOW WHY, THESE CHILDREN WITH SEVERE MALNUTRITION, WEN WE TREAT THEM F MALNUTRITN, WHEN WE DISCHARGE TH HOME, WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPE THAT'S RIGHT. THEY' DEVELOP SEVERE MALNUTRITION AIN. HAT OFTE HAPPENS FOR A.O.s, BECAUSE THEY'RE BUSY, THEY THINK O FIRST THINGS FIRST THEY THINK OF MALNUTRITION. THETREAT THE MALNUTTION. INHIS CASE IT DIDN'TET BETER. WHAT OTHER THIN OTHER THAN SOCIOECONOMICACTORS CAN CAUSE LNUTRITION IN A CHILD IS AGE, SEVERE MALNUTRITION? H.I.V., VY IMPORTANT.

>> Suarez: THE BABY, IT'S DETERMED, LIKELY HAS H.I.V. AND TUBERCULOSIS. MAKINGIT TOUGH TO EP FOOD DOWN. >THE A.M.O. TRAINING IS VERY GOOD FOR WHAT THEY DO. . TAKING CARE OF TIENTS ON A PRACTICAL DAY-TO-DAY VEL BUT THEY DON'T HAVE THE TIME TO REALLY UNDERSTAND THE DISEASES AS WELL ASHE MEDICAL STUDENTS DO BECSE THEY DON'T SIMPLY HA AS MUCH TIME IN THEIR EDATION. >>uarez: A STUDY RELEASED IN AUGUST SWED TZANIA'S HEALTH RKER SHORTAGES ARE PART A BIGGER PROBLEM ACRDING TO THE JOURNAL OF HEALTH AFFRS AFRICA HAS ONL 30% OF THE 1.16MILLION CTORS, NURES, AND MIIFES IT NEEDS.
