criminal enterprise. and i do think we have to push back. >> i do think we need to have the ability to use some of our defensive capabilities there needs to be international repercussion, not simply one off the united states acting alone that's why president biden going and rallying democracies at the g7 meeting is so important >> the fbi believes that some of these attacks have come from inside russia, and that the country is doing nothing to stop it that is on the agenda for president biden to discuss with russian president vladimir putin next week. phillip? >> something that concerns all of us here tracie, thank you. let's turn now to the effort to get america vaccinated. over 63% of adults have gotten at least one dose of a covid vaccine, but there is only a 1% increase over last week, and that's the slowest rate we've seen since the cdc started tracking some states have met the white house goal of getting 70% of adults vaccinated with at least one by the fourth of july.

its past last month the remains of 215 children, some as young as years old were found buried on the site of what was once the country ace largest indigenous schools. claudio, the pope has finally acknowledged this tragedy which happened at a church-run school. what was his message >> reporter: that's right, frances. after his traditional sunday prayer in st. peter's square yesterday said he is following the news out of canada with dolore, which can mean pain or sorrow it's not the apology many, not only the indigenous communities were waiting for only two days ago, justin trudeau, the prime minister blasted the catholic church for remaining silent and not taking responsibility and that was definitely not the apology they're waiting for. the pope said apart from his following the news with pain, he was offering closeness to the canadians and wareligious

authorities to shed light on what happened in those catholic schools from the end of the 19th century all the way to the 1970s. instead, what they got was where those words that some in the indigenous communities called a worldwide travesty, frances. >> all right, claudio. we'll see if is there anything more to be said about that coming out of the vatican. thank you. it is the announcement making waves around the world. harry and meghan sharing the news of the birth of their baby girl, little lilibet diana mountbatt mountbatten-windsor. matt bradley joins us from buckingham palace with reaction from the royal family. >> good morning, guys. you know, we've heard from the royal family they said they're delighted. what else are you going to say for an occasion like this?

boris johnson, the prime minister also welcoming the new baby i mean, this is of course something that the royal family is going to be welcoming and this new baby, lilibet diana mountbatten-windsor, she is actually eighth in line for the throne eighth in the line of succession, despite the fact that her parent, harry and meghan have famously had such an acrimonious half divorce from the royal family stepping away from their loyal duties this is their first child born since their very public separation from the royal family and the naming of lilibet diana mountbatten-windsor is on some level significant. it shows on some level harry and meghan trying to make a nod to the royal family here in london with their new family in california guys, of the 11 great, great grandchildren born from queen elizabeth ii, the current reigning monarch, this is the first one born outside of the united states.

so calling her lilibet, that is a childhood nickname of the current queen, that is a nod of course to the royal family and diana, her middle name that needs no explanation. that's the name of the late princess diana, prince harry's late mother. so will this heal the royal rift well, this is their second child. so it's unclear if this will do anything to change the dynamic but that's yet to be seen. the naming again could mean that this couple is trying to kind of eek their way back into the royal fold guys >> it's clearly a gesture. hey, look, you know there is drama in that family but nothing like a precious little girl to bring them together thanks another record-setting performance for simone biles the 24-year-old struck gold at the u.s. gymnastics championship, winning the all around title for the seventh straight time. that's the most national titles for a woman in american history. and ties alfred joakim for the
