anxious wait for many families desperate for a miracle. john henderson reports from fall the there is a reconciliation center, but very few people have been reconciled. most of the people who are waiting in that center are waiting to hear news about those 156 people who are missing firefighters. say they are continuing to search through the rubble. but of course they've been doing that since thursday. and the chances of finding people alive decrease over that time. and at a certain point it becomes a recovery mission. johnson and johnson says it'll stop selling appeal painkillers across the us. it's part of more than $230000000.00 settlement made with the state of new york. the u. k. is health. thank you trays resigned after breaching social distances guidelines. might hancock had been under intense pressure after a newspaper obtain video footage of him kissing and bracing a woman in his office?

i understand the enormous sacrifices that everybody in this country has made that you have made. and those of us who make these rules have got to stick by them, and that's why i've got to resign. i want to thank people for that incredible sacrifices and what they've done. everybody working in the n h. s. across social, everyone involved in the, in the vaccine program. and frankly, everybody in this country who has risen to the challenges that we've seen over this past 18 months. they study in states of new south wales as reported 30 new current virus cases, their battles and outbreak of the highly infectious delta strain. those he had lives in use continues here. now 0 after this stream. my about

my job, my, my wife and i, i want to motivate the, i'm like, intimate in our college plays involved with either the mobile story. and those are the story that i want to fell in love with my family. my. my, my team is my music will be in my same bob way, a new series coming soon on al jazeera. ah, i am for me. okay. bringing you the bonus edition of the stream. i like to think of it as the direct us caught of never before seen conversations and must see again, tv coming up on take you behind the scenes of a recent stream episode about israel and palestine done by system on filter commentary. and what does american power look like in his book, sorry, for the war journalist and photographer peter van at mel. she has 2 decades of

photograph documenting the impact of the u. s. military at home and abroad. be sure to stay until the very end of the pieces pictures a striking net start when the update on the delta variance of covey 19 it has been detected in more than 80 countries, and it continues to mutate as it spreads. he's the world health organizations, dr. maria van co have with more this delta variant is a dangerous variance. this ours covey to virus and it's natural form. it's in its ancestral form. it's dangerous to begin with. and any variant that has mutations or a constellation of mutation that has increased christmas ability, that has the possibility of causing increased rates of hospitalization. we don't yet have any indication of increased severity, but increased transmission means that more people can be infected quicker. and if you have systems that are overwhelmed to begin with and you have more cases that are coming that are needing a hospital bed,

your health care system which is already overburdened, is going to be even further overburden. and that can lead to more death that can lead to many more problems that society are facing. so this is a dangerous virus to begin with. and a more transmissible one makes our control measures that much more challenging. and that's what we're worried about. we're worried about 18 months into a panoramic. the world is exhausted. i'm exhausted, you're exhausting what it's like. we're running a marathon and a full sprint on uneven terrain through a very dark tunnel. and now we have these twists and turns, and it's something that we expect because the more the virus circulates, the more it has a chance to mutate. so this is convergent evolution. this is what is expected. but this makes our job all of us because every single one of us around the world has a role to play that much harder. but we can still do this. we can still in this if it's a delta, right? that means that way for variance that we know of all the others out there,

dot maria that we should be concerned about. you said that this is a natural part of, of a virus. it's going to be more we might even run out to greek. who knows? we will, we will probably run out of the greek alphabet, but we will have more letters that will be there. but keep in mind, these are there for variance of concern. the alpha beta gamma delta delta vary in the one that's most concerning right now because it has even more, it's more transmissible than the alpha variant that be 117. we have 6 or 7 variance for the interest that we are tracking at the global level. some of these variance of interest may become variance of concern, which means they have demonstrated increase the verity or trans disability. but some of them may fall off of our list. we may follow them for some time and they may turn out to be not as i hate to use the word concerning because they're also turning. but we have a global system in place. this is what we want people to know about out there is that as the virus changes, we're working with scientists all over the world. all. and i mean all over the

world, not just in high income countries, but high and low income countries to track the variance, to improve genetic sequencing. so that we have better eyes and ears about which mutations are out there. what is out there. and we have a system in place to assess these mutations. not all of them are important. some of them do not, you know, confer any thickness to the virus. and so that it, it transmits more easily and some are quite detrimental to the virus itself and they die out. but we have a global system in place to track them and then to inform our public health and social measures, our vaccines, our diagnostics, and the good news is our public health and social measures work at individual level measures. our i p. c measures our diagnostics, work. our vaccines work again, even the delta variance, but we do need few people to get the full dose. and if your vaccine that you are offer gives you 2 doses. get that 2nd dose. but we vac, and around the world, we do not have back scenes reaching those who are most in need. less than one

percent of low income countries have had people vaccinated and that is just appalling. and so we're working on that through our kovacs partners to be able to increase that, but we need to vaccinate those who are most at risk people of older age, people with underlying condition. and most importantly, our frontline workers, people who are out there that are carrying for sick individuals, putting themselves on the line. so there's a lot to do. there's an enormous amount today, dr. maria and cut has from the w h i. the same has been checking in regularly. all news from israel palestine gas fertile up to cream angel bora and alma, but at so much to say that i called the station continue to joan. after the live show had ended, i want you to know what fuels their passion to keep covering a story that's long, complicated, and painful to tell. i think everybody has a natural instinct to reject unfairness and inequality and injustice. and this is

a blatant case that not a lot of people know about and i feel like the more you get the word out, the more you're going to get solid already building with an oppressed people. and i feel a personal responsibility to do this work, given the fact that i know so much about it to make sure that people understand what's actually unfolding. and honestly, there are many promising signs right now in terms of shifting discourse, the number of celebrities who are speaking out and support a palestinian things are clearly changing. and i think that's an incredibly inspiring moment for us to keep the pressure on to hopefully eventually get to a point where palestinians can enjoy human rights until for you. what keeps you on the story. you've been doing this for years? well, i sort of feel it's such an important human story. i see that there are these 2 people. one has been pushed out by another who was pushed up by somebody else. and why? why should they be fighting each other? and why should they be sort of more understanding? and that to me i'm not, is really, i'm not palestinian. i'm not an hour up to me sort of been like in an important

subject to talk about in the region. because there's also a very divisive issue in the region. and just i think one of the most human stories to be told fatima follow fields me as the question i keep asking myself, how is what anybody is doing, making things any better. i keep asking myself, how is what i'm doing, making things any better. and i keep telling stories that i observe on daily basis . so this is a natural instinct like how much bed. but it's also it's also a game changer when it comes to stories of people who are being locked out of their homes, locked out of their lambs and not being able to, to move where they want to live on this, if i can add something to that real quick just i think there is also for the united people living in the united states that i think there is the added moral responsibility to object, to the fact that our government makes is really apartheid possible. israel would

not be able to carry on with this occupation without the massive american funding that it receives. and that's our tax dollars for people who are living in the united states. we are paying for this. and i think that there is a moral responsibility to demand that our money is not spent in that way. and i think that that's a huge motivating factor for people who understand the situation on the ground. and who are living in this unfortunate reality, where our government makes israel crimes against palestinians possible and denies palestinians their basic freedom. i'm going to be honest here as we cover the israel palestine on the stream, often regularly. and i was surprised by the video that i paid you earlier, the settlement because i've never seen anything quite so blatant before. i want to play a little clip. and without the filter, i would love to all to respond to the little clip. i'm going to play, so let's go back to this promotional video for a settlement that is even illegal in israel for it to be here. have

a look. ah, he's not just building a community, he's still just the blushing. it's an answer to the text from garza, from, from the north objection to the very fact of the jews establish such a beautiful state. not only do we stand strong, we are building here and we will build many more communities all over the area of you. then some area, you know, what's going to happen? ok, it's just shows that history is different depending on who's telling the story phantom of, what do you see when you see that i see is rarely politics playing into how how mainstream fessler approaches inside israel. this is the result of a toothless international community israeli cutler violence and shuffler settlement

expansion. colonialism basically going on and on on punished for years. but now even in an illegal outpost, that is not even set up for you back for eviction is going to be a story about dismantling human lives. is similar to what is happening and check out or in the one. but if you, if i may, this is a relative short history compared to the history of people who have been living in, in their homes for, for years and for, for decades. this is a situation where the israeli government will have to, to answer to the question of how important it is for bennett nathan, the whole lockheed or anybody else who comes in office to answer to the

effect statler at institutions that has become part of the state before i let you go, there's one thing i would really love you to tell me and this is from your individual perspective. what should we be looking out for in the news? as far as israel and palestine are concerned, what are you seeing that maybe you are not saying in the news, but is the story that you feel is going to be very important at some point this year? oh my, you go 1st. it's hard to pick just one thing i think, you know, just honestly, i mean watching the video that you just played. all i can think of is george orwell . and i listen to it and i almost hear wars piece. freedom of slavery and ignorance of strength. it's really a remarkable land theft can be portrayed or something to really celebrate as an achievement. and that's only possible when palestinians are dehumanized to this extent. and really we're stuck with the situation in which until israel views palestinians as equal human beings. we're not going to see this issue from the

mentally change, and we're only set to a new cycle in which we're going to see more violence, lord, death, more oppression. and this is just perpetual until something really fundamentally changes. so i imagine that the explosions and shifts that are likely going to make the new sometime later the summer. i think that is really just the system is simply waiting for the right opportunity to push forward forward because ultimately the so called justice system in israel is ultimately a legal system for an apartheid state in which the law says that the right to self determination is unique to the jewish people and in which is really, jews are privileged over palestinian and that's effectively the system that we're looking at. and i think it's, you know, it's really an ugly reality until was a headline that you should be looking out for. well, universe, a quick response to the clip you played because i mean that is so it's hard breaking because they really state is brainwashing its own people and not telling them that this is actually somebody else's land. somebody else lives here. this is

someone else's home. so you know, it's a double tragedy in my view. i think the headlines we go to look out for the 1st is reconstruction. how is god going to be rebuild? if you remember off to the devastation caused during the 2014 gotten caught clashes, many homes have not been rebuilt. and right now i think israel is sort of holding guards as reconstruction as a cod in its pocket and saying, and demanding many things off of palestinians before they can lead to reconstruction happen. so that's the 1st thing. second, i would agree with omar is going to be shake, java. i think a bennett government would eventually go through, shake the evictions in shakera and they're going to sort of justified on the is really low, which in many ways is a discriminatory or reflective offer. systematic discrimination against palestinians. it is not every day that we cover a story that could have come straight out of a james bond film. when form a c. i, a officer mart poll neuron phyllis appeared on the stream. we talked about how

adversary is as he called them, were trying to home him. mot retired 2 years ago after you came down with a mysterious illness during a mission. in moscow, you can watch the full interview online, adstream dot 0 dot com. now, what i'm going to share with you here is privileged information never before seen on tv. after the ball car smart told me a few stories for me. 2016 korea in the ca. you have a new book out called clarity in crisis leadership lessons from a cia bought. how do you get to tell the c i a secrets without landing in trouble? there is a very kind of, you know, formal process. so, so what i did is i wrote my book and then i put it for the ca, for a clearance process or what they call their publication review board. so you know, what is what is really impressive is how much they actually allowed. and i'm grateful for that because, you know, the book is certainly talks about leadership,

but it also gives a window into cia and all the leadership lessons like talk about, you know, always happy as operational stories that i think a lot of people are going to find super interesting and compelling was not a lot of the officers who come out and tell stories like this. so, you know, totally, totally endorse. not endorse, totally cleared by the ca. so they're not going to come after me and ultimately look, the book is a love affair. for the agency, it's really interesting because while they didn't treat me very well in terms of the medical needs, i had it's still an institution and i feel is absolutely critical for us national security and was part of my identity for 26 years. and so i think that i think people will really find it interesting. i'm really excited about the book. tell us one story as a piece as well. i have so many so many amazing stories, but one of the, one of the principals like talk about is something called family values. and that the principle in which, you know, in order to leave, you know, teams, especially small teams, you have to get everyone to buy into each other to believe in each other. so i tell

a story, you know, i, you know, i come back from award zone, actually with an iraq. and i was, i was receiving a very prominent intelligence metal and award for some of the things i had done there. and, and my father was invited to the ceremony and you know, obviously my last name polly, i'm up with my father creek to an important reason. didn't necessarily have the greatest healing about about that because of what, you know, the role of the c i in supporting the content. and then i think the long time ago, but nonetheless, this is, this was a feeling because the director of the time was george tenant who spoke fluent creek . and so i asked, and it was kind of to take my dad aside and he did so before the ceremony and i just spoke together, you know, in greek and i came back and i asked my father, i said, what did the director say to you? and he just said he was in his eyes and he said nothing. and then i, when i saw the director kinda later on i said, what did you tell my dad? he said, i told him you are a hero. and so, you know, it was an extraordinary moment for me, you know, in my family. and so, you know,

it's just, again, a reflection of kind of close knit group that we had a really doing some unusual things, but ultimately helping protect the united states and our allies in a, in a very complex world. my tell me a story that you have to take out the book. i tried. i tried really hard for in there about about someone that i would handle and you know, this is, you know, we recruit an agent. and agent is someone that we get providing information, but the story that i have in the book is about the personal relationship between the operations officer, case officer and the agent. and ultimately it was an, in an area in which, you know, if i make a mistake, you know, the agent is going to is going to die. and so i tell the story, and i tell kind of this personal interaction that we have because the stakes are so high and what we do. and as a young operations officer particular you have to be almost perfect and keeping the individuals alive. and so i would talk about the light will tell us it's officer

thomas, it's not taking a college you want to one class. it's like ology by the one class because you have people who really depend on, you know, and so it was an extraordinary job. and i love telling that story to the relevant, extraordinary moment, and i think people find it very, very interesting. finally, the mesmerizing work of award winning documentary photographer and offer peter of an atmosphere. when i look at his pictures from the conflicts in afghanistan and iraq, what i see intimate images of people impacted by u. s. foreign policy. he describes his style as being respectful photography. i asked peter what point when he's covering a war? if he's stopped taking pictures, the, i mean the line, the line is it is the trick when everyone has different mine and a different moment when you photograph and when you intervene. i've been there in moments where stuff photographing to help it. you know, usually when i'm the only person that can help if there's other people that help

and they know what they're doing, then i'll do my job there. the 1st job is always to be made as much as possible, and i think partly it's in the editing to, i mean when things are moving very back in a word zone, you're not even always entirely sure what it is you're photographing in a sense, especially because it's every moment it's meaningful is one to the 2nd 15, and just a 2nd while you're trying to stay alive and no one can process information that quickly. so in terms of being, in many ways, the respectful aspect to make this agree with that is in the process. that's where the editing process. so you mentioned pictures of blood in it. you know, there's a picture with a lot of blood in it for example. but the face of the person isn't visible in it. you know, that person was dying on a, on this journey in a hospital and, and there was no way certainly give consent. but i could still give, make it very powerful image without revealing their identity. and so that's what i did. so i think that's, you know, that's balancing as a journalist,

as you must be showing the reality of things in a deep and impactful way. while still trying to be thoughtful about the fact that, you know, you're, you're dealing with real people here and you know, they want to treat them. and the way you want to be to do so. i'm wondering you pictures from afghanistan and your pictures from iraq. are they document of say yes, of a conflict that america felt that it could win and yet did not. yeah . well, i think there's think there are documents of all sorts of failures. i mean, most specifically this last book is documented almost in the failure of imagination, or at any point in the last 20 years for the american people to relate to the people in these conflicts. you know, if i think about our relationship with these war is it's really bad. our relationship with their own soldiers. you know, not about, we don't know,

single face or name of the millions of people caught in between these words, the thousands have been killed. certainly many millions have been displaced. you know, of course it's more literal failure. yes, of the fact that 20 years in were abandoning afghanistan into what and, you know, that's a complicated decision. of course, not the straightforward one, but you have to look at the results after 20 years of conflict and where the results are going to go in the coming years. not into a good place. one would imagine, you know, rac destabilized deeply stabilized very limited democratic principles there. so you have to look at what were the intended effects going in and how to things, you know, what expense in most, in blood and money and, and in this, all of the nation, i think as well, the thing that struck me to most in a way was how middle connection every day soldier really had to the politics of

what was happening in the grand scale of, you know, in the, in the you are out with individuals who may have been perfectly decent people that were kind of just doing their job as they thought they had no idea what the impact of the job was, you know, and this is something that i often find trouble. some with observing americans kind of, especially in foreign countries that they there, you know, these guys sincerely thought probably they were doing something good because they were told they were doing something good. and because they thought the legacy of american power wasn't doing something good. but if they use their imagination a little bit and what was actually happening outside their home, the windows, they can see a nation collapsing that the people that deeply hated them, you know, and so on, being very purposely reductive here. a lot of people, obviously lot of soldiers understood what was going on was very bad. others just didn't care but, but, but they would say it struck me the most. and those early embeds and,

and i kind of get it because i'm a byproduct of the same society, the great name to tell you about the nature of american power. and that's why my work, i'm trying to push back against the propaganda that shape my own identity. until i had worked out a push back, he's, you know, what? let me go off major pedagogy. you don't protocol like an american. you photograph. understand the perspective of the people that you see? and that's a very hard thing to do. i'm an immigrant, so i see that there's always a full time that she what i see from having lived in america for a long time. so i understand how a lot of my american colleagues and community i live it, they think what they think these things, but i don't see the well the same way somehow you've managed not to see the world in the same way. how do you do that? is that just no, and i wish i could say it was,

but i think it's a bad product of always having a kind of multicultural, both multi nationality might be a new group of friends that check my own ignorance. and i think, i think one becomes more empathetic and more understanding by being open their perspectives and the strength of the thoughtfulness and the passion of those perspectives. and then folding the lessons learned into one's work so. so it's been a work in progress that i mean, it's part of the reason why early on i was, i was more connected to the american perspective. and now i'm, i'm trying to show things as complexly as possible because i've made so many friends also in the middle east to, to expose my own day to me. and then i try and channel the lesson in my work. that interview with peter was part of the a stream instagram live series. follow us at a stream on instagram, to get alerts for future gas and that so show for today. i'll leave you with photos when peter wells, a latest book,
