S. Diplomatic staffers on high alert. It happened in the capital of turkey. Officials are trying to figure out if this is an isolated attack or the beginning of a pattern. Tom fitzgerald is following this one for us. So tom, any indication who is behind this one . Officially right now, no group claimed responsibility for this attack. Officially, pinning the blame on turkish government and the united states, but it comes on the heels of recent. It happened at 1 15 in the afternoon in the city of oswald. A suicide bomber dead enated explosive devices. Both the bomber and the guard at the embassy was killed in the explosive. Here in washington, appearing with andrea, Vice President joe biden condemned the attack. I also really with the expression of sympathy i dont have detail, but was characterized as a terrorist attack on our embassy. While no group has said it was behind the attack, turkeys interior minister blames a Group Opposed to turkeys government and sharp contrast to last years ben ghazi attack. This act is an act of terror. A suicide bombing is by definition an act of terror. Its a terrorist attack. However, we do not know at this point who is responsible for the motivation behind the attack. The attack itself is clearly an act of terror. The bombing comes one week after former secretary of state, hillary clinton, faced intense questioning over the obama administrations handling of security before its statements after septembers attack on the u. S. Consulate in libya. Because of a protest or guys out for a walk and they decide to kill some americans . What difference, at this point, does it make . Analysts say in the wake of the ben ghazi attacks, there is greater focus on what the u. S. Can and cant do in protecting its diplomats. If someone wants to take their life to take yours, theres very little that can be done. Lew coffee is a security expert at the heritage foundation. He says keeping the bomber from entering the embassy play add key role in reducing the casualties. He exploded himself outside. What remains to be seen is fridays attack was an isolated to send a message to the start of a new wave of violence in u. S. Facilities in turkey. This is not, however, the first time u. S. Diplomatic facilities in turkey have been targeted previously by terrorists back in 2008, the attack blamed an affiliate outside the u. S. Consulate. Three assay lents and three policemen dead. Will.

And local dentists team up to put smiles on the faces of deserving patients. Well be right back. its an issue that falls right behind Heart Disease and traumatic illness in terms of how much it costs america every year. A lot of people dont like to talk about Mental Illness. Now, some say we have to start a National Dialogue and today with the help of a hollywood leading man, bradley cooper, people in washington started that conversation. Fox 5s beth parker was there and gives us a closer look tonight. They entered the room, Mental Health professionals, and one hollywood heartthrob.

He says the movie, Silver Linings play book has taken him to empathy to action. Movies inspired me to do many things in my life and i am very aware of its power. You have to be careful. I found many connections to this guy. I mean, for me, it was an act. I could understand. If life dealt a different set of cards to me, i can understand being in a situation that pat found himself in, plea bargaining with the courts. Silver linings play book is nominated for multiple oscars. Mental Health Experts say it is pushing this issue to a new level. What they want is for Mental Illness to be viewed like any other illness. We made enormous progress with Heart Disease and hiv, aids, and even homicides. Bringing those rates down. Suicide stayed there for many, many years. We have enormous progress. The key to all of this is early intervention. 38,000 americans commit suicide each year. The denial of medical treatment is really a civil rights issue. Because who among us would trade places with one of our returning veterans . We ask as if Mental Health happens to people out there.

Not only are you the spokesperson, but you also had Heart Disease. Explain your story and what happened . What brought you here . I was 35 when i had a heart attack. And it was really an unfortunate time for me because i just wasnt educated. I had never taken the time to learn about the signs of a heart attack or, you know, about women and their risks for Heart Disease. When it was happening, did you know thats what it was . I did not. I was pregnant at the time. I mistook the signs for morning sickness. Let me ask you, theres a lot of women watching right now. What are the signs . Who is at risk . You know, both men and women do get chest pain, but women in particular have symptoms other than chest pain. They have shortness of breath, heartburn. Like she did. And dizziness, fatigue. So oftentimes women delay seeking help because they think its something else. And the message here is that Heart Disease is preventable. And so its a message for all women today, get to know your cardiac risk factors so you can try to prevent Heart Disease. Lastly, do you have a final word or advice youd like to share with the ladies watching today . Yes. Heart disease does not care what size you wear. It doesnt care how old you are. Take the time to be educated. Educate yourself like the doctor said about your risks of a heart attack, Heart Disease, and learn and know what the signs of a heart attack are. Heartburn, you know, the tightening of your jaw. Very important. Thank you both so much for coming in. Andrea, spokesperson for go red for women and the head of the med star health institute.
