this program was made possible by the corporation for public broadcasting and viewers like you. thank you. >> welcome. vladimir putin is playing up national unity two days after it reported uprising by mercenaries. he held them as patriots. >> it did little to quiet questions. >> vladimir putin addresses nation for the first time since the rebellion marked the significant threat to his rule. thanking mercenary forces for standing down, he had tough words for the leaders. >> the organizers betrayed those and push them to shoot their own people, it was this outcome that

the enemies wanted. >> earlier today, joe biden denied any role in the rebellion against russia. >> we made clear we were not involved, had nothing to do with it. this is part of a struggle within russia. >> the chief whose forces seized the city and marched towards moscow said he acted to not overthrow vladimir putin. >> covered the same distance. if they have been as prepared, the war could have been over. >> it was a few between military leaders that festered into a mutiny. the images were striking. locals greeting rebels as heroes.

panicked authorities tearing up road leading into the city. it was mopped by crowds after striking a deal to avoid prosecution. the defense ministry release a show of unity, nvidia -- four months he railed against corruption and inaction against armed forces firm provides private security services with

u.n. accused it of conducting multiple massacres. today, sergei lavrov assured nations that they still had support. >> apart from relationships, the central african republic has contacts with russia, several hundred servicemen as instructors. >> and appearance of common order is its mayor canceled a terror alert. >> i feel relief because there was no armed conflict. we survived far worse since 1985. we get used to everything. >> others appeared to be unfazed. >> i am calm because everything is predictable. >> it was far from quiet as

forces have proved a sloping grinding counteroffensive. >> on the short-lived rebellion and what comes next, we are joined by the president and ceo of the center for european policy analysis. thank you for being with us. as we just reported, he called off the march because he wanted to avoid russian bloodshed and what he had in mind was a protest demonstration. what does this suggest about his hold on power? >> what we witnessed has been nothing short of extraordinary. putin is far weaker than we thought and his regime is more

fragile and we think this challenge by an armed military group marching towards moscow is truly extraordinary, it would be something akin to blackwater and the u.s. private security company in the middle of the iraq war, and the response from the kremlin was very muted. >> in a speech this mni floor? he has significant amount of standing and influence. >> to be honest, we don't know

what was happening behind the scenes. this deal he supposedly struck mediated by lukashenko where he amouf sense. prigozhin put out his own voice message on social media sounding defiant and unapologetic, saying it's exposing the ineptitude of the military operation. when we stop putin later today is an over correct, putin tried to present himself as a strawman saying this was a mutiny but the damage has been done.

>> officials across nato member countries, how do pollutants vulnerabilities affect the containment strategy for russia as it relates to the west? >> we need to be thinking about serious contingency planning for a regime change in russia. the assumption is it speeds up

the potential timeline for thinking about a future russia. that may come -- it certainly opens the door for the possibility of this in the near term versus the long term. to my mind, the approach is to use the summit to double down on support for ukraine. we're going to outlast the putin regime does not look like it's going to last as long as we thought. >> thank you so much for your insights. >> for more insight, we turn to samuel benda, a russian military analyst.

what lies ahead? prigozhin has said his fighters will never accept the options that vladimir putin but to them today. >> clearly it is still a functioning organization, clearly their officers in the group that are still there and clearly they are still useful force internationally when it comes to geopolitical interests. there is a lot of effort invested. there are a lot of discussions that they should not even be allowed. he probably has his own allies in the kremlin and it will

continue. >> on that point, how much does he need them? >> it depends. there were a good attacking force. right now, russia's fighting a defensive war. it's up to the ministry of defense, the kremlin as they are discussing how the country will move forward. >> no breakthrough has

materialized. >> many are conscripts and were conscripted reluctantly. >> the morale can't be good. probably there are bad feelings right now the bad feelings are

probably likely to persist. the president welcome soldiers into the ranks, although in the message this morning, it indicated very few will be joining the military. a lot of questions and not a lot of answers. >> what does it mean as leader of the military? >> certainly, the events of the weekend, undermining the standing. there are responses that you have to consider.

they can't survive certain crises. all roads lead to putin the one who was arbiter for decisions and the government. we will have to see. >> thank you so much for being with us. >> thank you. >> here are the latest headlines. a defendant accused of murdering five people at a nightclub last fall pleaded guilty and was sentenced to life in prison. >> in a colorado courtroom,

stephanie confronted the person who shot and killed her sister. >> the lives you have shattered. >> all patrons. the shooter is now 23 years old and received one life sentence for each person killed adding up

to 100 years in prison. >> we have to deal with the physical, emotional and psychological pieces of what this man has inflicted on us. for no reason other than these people were just trying to have a good night. >> for months, families argue the shooter should acknowledge the target. today's plea included no detail for the motive even as they pleaded no contest. the shooter could still be charged with federal hate crimes as the impact continues to ripple through the community. >> a conviction on federal charges could still mean a death

sentence for the shooter. in florida, lawyers made closing arguments in the shooting that killed 14 students and two staffers. scott peterson is charged with child neglect. today, prosecutors argued he had followed protocol. >> he was taught that you move towards the sounds of gunshots and there is no other job you should be doing. >> they all did exactly what they are trained. a tactical position. only in cheesy movies does the cops walk around without a

bullet-proof vest. >> this is the first trial for any law enforcement officer in the u.s. related to a school shooting. idaho prosecutors announced they are seeking the death penalty. bryan kohberger is charged with four counts of murder. the judge announced a not guilty plea earlier this year. a new round of severe storms has claimed three more lives in parts of the u.s.. video captured a tornado outside of indianapolis as it ripped through 75 homes. a twister in southern indiana killed one man. high wind blew a tree onto a home in central arkansas. in the middle east, israel's far right government approved plans for another 5000 homes across the occupied west bank.

heat wave. the weather is not limited to texas, at least 45 million americans across the southern u.s. were under heat advisories. for a closer look, we're joined by the chief meteorologist and climate specialist for w fla tv in tampa, florida. the brutal heat wave is entering week three. what is driving it? >> we have a jet stream across the northern hemisphere in north america, things have been stuck for weeks and weeks and the heat dome has been stuck across mexico and texas has been on the northern end. we are seeing an extreme heat wave, one of the worst ever in mexico and a bad one in texas which is spreading to the north.

we call them rings of fire. stronger winds tend to generate the storms and then follow the ring of fire. >> help us understand how the heatwave is connected to climate change. the climate has warmed two degrees since 1900 land itself has increased and in texas we have seen 325 degrees during the summer time.

the baseline is easier to achieve, he domes aggravated so we see the averages go up and the extremes and the addition to the intensity, we're seeing them last longer. climate central is doing rapid attribution and says this particular event and what has happened in mexico may be very well the worst t wave because it's been going on for so long. >> how should people in the

affected areas prepare? >> frequent breaks, drink lots of water. they are expanding north. we're going to see temperatures that will affect a lot of people. hundred degree temperatures it's

going to let up a little bit in wedadny,s will be ndda ayursdwe will see more of thesee raved in the future. >> jeff is a meteorologist from tampa. thank you for being with us. >> president biden is kicking off efforts to expand high-speed internet access to 8.5 million homes and businesses. expanding broadband was a key component of his, structure bill. at the white house today, they pledged $42 billion. >> it's the biggest investment

in high-speed internet ever. for the economy to rk for everyone, internet access is just as important as electricity and water. >> this is ambitious to say the least. the president >> today marks the official and the funds are going to be increasing the broadband and within 19 states, missouri will get $1.7 billion.

texas receives the most. the white house provided reporters with a rough timeline. starting in june of 2023, allocations are announced, states begin drafting plans with projects. in december, the first day plans are due in 20% of funds are being distributed. spring of 2025, final plans are due for states that have not had approved yet and as you can see, some projects are not going to get going and some are not going to be finished.

>> when you talk about americans who don't have this access, who are we talking about? >> i spoke to nicole at the brookings institution and told me the federal estimate of americans not receiving broadband access is probably in undercount. >> it extended to people but it didn't realize that it was people in suburban america to learn and teachers who could not teach. >> she added when it comes to making sure it reaches those

people who don't have access at the administration ande do wn t accountability >> where does this fit in? it's important? even the white house knows the gop attacks are going to be big democratic motivators. they also know there is an enthusiasm and the way to address that on his handling of the economy is to be out there talking about showing things, shovels in the ground and blanketing the country is going to be key to that.

>> june is pride month, a time when companies show their support for the lgbtq+ community. displaying pride merchandise and including people in ads and marketing. right wing backlash has for some companies to rethink pride. >> some protesters have started calling out dozens of companies, and just the last few months, companies like bud light, target, pet smart, adidas have all faced right wing protests over products and ads in partnerships. activists have taken the criticism to social media over products targeting kids.

>> we are 10 steps in. >> in the kids section. >> do you support pride propaganda? >> boycotts, employee harassment and threats of violence have prompted companies to pull back some pride initiatives. for more on the backlash, we are joined by the president of a communications firm, thank you so much. would you say there is a demonstrable uptick in these types of protests happening right now? >> two things.

we're in a moment. it is primarily instigated by backlash against one beer to calculate the tactic which was used by anti-woke provocatuer's. budweiser tricked a wire that offered some an invitation to exploit. >> i know you are arguing this is a nonorganic movement, you were telling us this has been going on in some fashion for many years. >> when i began doing the work i do, i worked with american airlines, 30 years ago they faced an onslaught of right wing backlash that i believe was intended to change the direction of the culture.

they witnessed the corpotion get behind the gay community and they wanted to shame and writing american airlines out of the market and failed. >> i know you are not a social scientist, but if you believe this is not an organic movement, what do you attribute these attacks to? >> the political moment tells us the united states is driven by division and anti-woke activists are trying to find every wedge possible and are wielding them in the hands of candidates to attack drag shows, books. >> dimension the protest , the

timing works. no brand or corporation they defended almost everyone. that was the problem. it's not so much about sales which are always volatile. it's about standing. >> that was a protest against connection to the trans individual.

have you seen that simile? trans people are being put into the position to be so dehumanized that it is frightening. many people are afraid. >> counseling companies come to you and say we would like to appeal to this part of america. have you counseled him how to navigate that? >> there are three things you ought to think about. first, what are your values? what are your principles? whether almost you have to

invest campaigns in those values. show images and expressions, do it would for a purpose. finally, when you are challenged at the end of the day you discover the marketplace . >> there have been reports of being cowardly. how serious is that criticism? >> >> that is the sense of unity , community leaders want to

embolden and stiffen the spines of corporate america's poor traditional allies and partners in the gay community, they have been with us. they want to make sure they understand fair weather friends are no fans. >> thank you for being here. >> the school year is coming to a close. we are back with a look inside a school where we spoke with

educators, experts. >> in california, students file. >> the reason for the migration is a map of lynchings taken place in the south. >> a curriculum that your national media attention when ron desantis called indoctrination and bandit from florida schools. >> that someone pushing an agenda. >> juniors and seniors don't see it that way. >> like it's very important as a person to know where your people came from and that is not something i have found centered in other history courses.

>> if you cover these pillars, we are done. >> instead, the curriculum spans centuries from ancient kingdoms to the transatlantic slave trade, reconstruction, the harlem renaissance. >> i believe the primary thing is the level of leadership, intelligence and incompetence that the people of african, i don't think it's any more political than anything.

this is a book everyone starts with because he talks at the turn-of-the-century about how the study of african-american people are totally missed educated. >> texts like these are under threat. >> education, not indoctrination. it took root in florida where desantis signed legislation to dictate how black history is taught in the state. >> you want to do things like gender ideology, go to berkeley. >> would say an important part of black history is queer theory? >> backing effort as mounds for liberty.

>> we challenge library books. >> jennifer is the founding chair in river county. she supported changing the curriculum. >> they saw there was a lot of critical race theory and queer studies that had nothing to do with the african-american teachings that were offered in the course. >> she claimed lack of activity. >> look at both sides. they were discussing where the opposition is, is there a white lives matter? >> four other states launched similar investigations into the glass which she says does not teach critical race theory or queer theory. it does teach about queer activists like james baldwin.

rogers chose baldwin as a subject for his final research project as a singer, songwriter and music producer, he grew up admiring the struggle. >> he was learning. they said attacks were misguided. >> lim ip teaching people to be other racist. he is not. >> shows a lack of understanding. >> surrounded history. students got the chance to see it up close.

visiting the birthplace of the black panther party and historical. it's been eye-opening. >> i am learning so much. i think a lot of it has purpose. this class is not helping push the agenda. >> you think he's trying to cover up this particular history? >> yes, i do. >> the original curriculum at the start of the school year has been revised. >> its revolutionary, engaging,

vitally important. social divisions have been part of the entire three. slavery, reconstruction, jim crow. why can we possibly think things can be different right now unless we work on erasing those divisions? the only way to do that is through education. >> more students will have the chance to enroll.

>> another summer of movies . >> there are way too many movies out for us to cover. dacia harris, pop-culture happy hour. congratulations on your book. let me start with you.

a couple of big lock clusters. -- blockbusters. >> the one i most excited about is barbie. it is ip, it's a franchise. a lot of critics are over the franchise but i am excited because greta gerwig is one of the most interesting directors and the cast is amazing, margot robbie, many other stars, greta gerwig and noah bomb back seem like they are taking barbie in a subversive direction. i'm excited. i'm curious about the new mission impossible. tom cruise is a reliable box office star. i am excited because it keeps

getting better every new instalent and tom cruise is fun to watch. >> this franchise has proven to be so durable, it does get better and better and we can attribute that to tom cruise. >> same-day as barbie we're going to get oppenheimer, the biopic about the father of the nuclear bomb. this is based on a masterful biography which was this comprehensive look at his life and the contradictions of his character.

i am optimistic nolan will embrace those. killian murphy will play oppenheimer. >> how about a smaller film? >> this is been such a great year for first-time filmmakers. she has a movie about past lives about a young woman who comes from south korea she has to leave her best friend and schoolgirl crush behind, she ends up moving to new york to become a writer and she and her old flame reconnect online, it's just an acutely observed delicate, sensitive trauma and a love story we don't see often

on-screen and is been brought to life for -- with such flair. the first one i would say is the angry black girl and her monster , the premise intrigues me. it's about this young girl who her brother to gun violence and she is this science nerd and she decides to express her grief by creating this frankenstein monster. the story is inspired by frankenstein. i'm curious to see how him taking this story that has been told many times in creating this new piece of work will play out. i am looking forward to that.

i am also looking forward to theater camp. >> congratulations. >> they have to figure out what they're going to do, the camp is in danger of shutting down because the leader is ill. it's really funny, if you are a theater nerd, i think you will appreciate. >> you mentioned tom cruise. other other people? >> speaking of franchises, i'm also a fan of the wiser and this is a movie coming later this summer and i'm always interested

to see. thursday smaller mov coming out with the creator of an hbo show which was this surreal television show and this is his feature debut, he's playing a toy designer who comes to new york trying to get something going. tilda swinton places boss.

>> we are in the middle of the iters strike. how worried are you both? >> i think aside from being generally concerned about the writers. what we see a slip back? that's my huge concern. >> do we see people coming back to the theaters? >> yes and no.

the box office is rising. the strike plays into this. there is a low. what we have yet to get to is the steady ecosystem where people feel reasons to go to the movies for a wide range of movies. a glitch in the pipeline can affect it down the line. >> made you very much. >> i'm looking forward to the final indiana jones film. >> the many great movies. i love theater camp. >> you can find the fullest online.

that is the newshour for tonight. >> major funding has been provided by. >> architect. mentor. raymondjames taylor's advice. committed to building a more just world. with the ongoing support of

these institutions. this program was made possible by the corporation for public broadcasting and by contributions by viewers like you. thank you. >> this is pbs newshour west.
