Why The Video Looks Shaky (Don Ward)
Updated: 06/18/2013 - We did a quick helicopter tour of the Black Forest burn area. Someone asked why the video looks shaky.
A new study of national health rates has produced "startling" results for the United Kingdom, and they're not encouraging.
Research published in the journal Lancet found that from 1990 to 2010, despite six decades of free medical care and widespread health campaigns, Britons are among the unhealthiest people in Western Europe.
The researchers say Britain is failing to address underlying health risks including rising rates of high blood pressure, obesity and drug and alcohol abuse. They compared the U.K. with 15 other Western European countries in addition to Australia, Canada and the U.S.
In terms of years of life lost to health conditions, Britain ranked just above last place for serious respiratory infections, preterm birth complications and breast cancer.
