past the deaths that happen every single day. this is a most history of the usa america on our t ah, today's headline, the now to go down to food and, and you will live q and a virus and with the russian public over the states to be a highly among people that you then never goes by without the 1st share of humans the discovery of mass graves of indigenous children at religious schools. the spate of suspected after the taxi or catholic church is burned down in canada. right, spills over industry, bother to 11 on what fuel price types of aggravated the countries economic crisis and lead to long tail banks of the pump. and also on the way spain think to make it easier for teenagers to change the agenda. i no longer requiring medical

diagnosis or full blown therapy will be debating the controversial draft system which is being proposed and said, is i feel personally, i don't think they are old enough people. they also go back. they think, you know, they maybe made the wrong decision. ah, by that great, happy with us here on the nation. okay, just one i was times in the pizza will be fielding questions from the russian public. the steering is annual life q and a session last year. people miss down on the chance due to the pandemic, more than a 1000000 questions i've already been sent in for today. because the situation of course expect to defeat a highly among people's concerns. so the event typically also has a lighthearted side as well. let's get along to thing and scoff covering the event

for us. in fact, resource preview pace about what's expected today. want to have to go until things get under way. we looking forward to konstantin. hello to you, neil: so we're are at the convention center where letterman put these go into whole his annual q and a session with the people of russia. it's going to be broadcast on all major russian tv channels as well as here on rti and the set for the high profile, phoning show is ready, and it's just, you know, a few meters away actually from where we're standing right now. and i had the chance to visit it yesterday. there are big screens all around in the center, a table for the president and to co host to will help manage this huge influx of questions and information. now the format, which was 1st launched in 2001 is famous for given the public, the opportunity to quiz the president directly this year. though, because of the pandemic, there won't be a live audience on the set, you know. but the organizers assurance that they will make it as interactive as

possible. people from all over the country will be joining the program, live, to ask their questions and bring the issues that matter to them to the precedence attention. now we know that over 700000 questions have already been sent in and usually only some 7080 get 3 to the president during the live program. but the organizers claim that that doesn't mean that the rest are laughed on. answer. they are assigned to different ministries and local authorities so that they can follow them up after the show and sometimes issues and are, you know, being sorted out even before the end of the q and a session as local officials, as well as federal ministers and governor is watch it live and take notes of what's brought to put in attention. and you know, it's always a, it's not always as tuffy as one might expect. the program has its fair share of funny situations and battery, putting himself can crack up a joke or 2. we have an opportunity you arises is always this mix of emotions from

intense conversations about low salaries, high utility bills, the lack of medications, etc, to humor, and burst of laughter. and i remember that was a show when a woman called and she even asked library, put in to speak to her husband directly to convince him to have a dog. so, you know, that's going to give you some context here. so anyway, we'll see how it goes this year or the show starts in about 5040 minutes, but i can for too many things for bring is up to date constantly into the news. now a catholic church in the canadian province of alberta has been damaged in a suspected austin attack is the latest in a string of similar incidents across the country for churches and british columbia burned down in just the past 10 days. there's growing anger at the church is role in the countries campaign to forcibly assimilate indigenous children at residential schools in the past. now, earlier the remains of hundreds of indigenous children were discovered. such

a school run by the catholic church, its force candidate to confront or it seems to be a very dark path. children at those schools were banned from using their original names, the customs, even the languages when they were forcibly assimilated into society. candidates prime minister called the graves, a shameful reminder of systemic racism and encourage the country to learn from past mistakes. poke francis said he was pained by the discovery and called for the rights and cultures of indigenous people to be respected. indigenous activists. laura williams says, canada still a long way to go to stump out discrimination with this new information as well. there's a lot of angry. this is the 1st time the world is actually being made, but actually accepting it and we're acknowledging it. and there's a lot of people who aren't accepting it, who aren't you?

i think what needs to be done is not indigenous. people need to stop being racist. the government we've dropping race is that what needs to be done? our people have done a lot of healing a work around as trauma doing this work for a while. we knew this was going to happen at some point. we've always known that those children were there. we've always known genocide, non indigenous people. they need to do their work because they're the ones who are causing harm to us. so the day the genocide still happening in different. 2 8 ah. 8 the. 8 8 8 do you mean sincere? did you, who was that? it wasn't you today?

it was going to be the target, the victim. you know, you weren't going to have to suffer any form of humiliation. you learn not to cry anymore. you just get harder. and yet you learn to shut down. ah, i couldn't talk a word of english. i tucked cree and i was abused for that hit and made to try to talk english. i lost my language. they threatened us with a strapping you spoke it. and within a year i lost all of it. 8 i used to him, i tried to caring at night. i asked the principal to take him to the hospital. he didn't after about 2 weeks, my brother was in so much pain. he was going out of his mind. i pleaded with the principal for days to take him to the doctor. ah, they started to sexually take advantage of me and abuse me. not one, not too many,

many people for a very long time until i was 16. i held everything in and didn't tell anybody for 20 years. july 1st will mark annual canada day, but the country's indigenous communities calling for festivities to be cancelled. they say there's nothing to celebrate and won't count the day to be an occasion to reflect on the real history of canada and to support indigenous people on the alex, me holler, which has more july 1st is canada's birthday. the annual event is usually celebrated with family barbecues and fireworks like the however, with fresh revelations about the country's history of abuse towards its native population. this year, many canadians are pushing for the party to be cancelled. the list was a crime against humanity. an assault on the 1st on 1st

nation people, we are proud people, the only crime we ever committed as children was being born indigenous just weeks ago, it was announced that a mass grave was found with the remains of $215.00 native children in kamloops british columbia, which used to be the largest residential school in canada. more recently, another 751 unmarked graves, were discovered at a cemetery near another residential school in the province of saskatchewan. some believe that up to $6000.00 indigenous children died at the schools most often due to disease, abuse and neglect. the government endorsed and funded the $130.00 residential schools which once stood across the nation. they were operated primarily by the catholic, anglican, and protestant churches from the 1800s on 100 and 50001st nations. children passed through the system which was built to assimilate native children into canadian society. forcing them to convert to christianity while not allowing them to speak their native languages. the last school closed in 1996 in 2015 canada the truth and

reconciliation commission concluded the country's federal government committed cultural genocide through that system. already there are plans for marches across canada and flags from coast to coast will be flown at half mast. many communities have announced that they will not be going ahead with planned events for july. the 1st, even doug ford, the province of ontario, conservative premier, seems to be siding with a tone down canada day. ford has asked the people of ontario to reflect over canada the day on what has taken place. however, there has been pushed back from some canadians, namely, ford's conservative brethren at the federal level to be as a growing number of communities decide to skip celebrations. era no tool. the leader of the conservative party of canada has positioned himself and his party as defenders of canada day. an important tool has gone as far as to question. if he's the only person running for prime minister who is proud of canada, while politicians do what they do,

canadians are also split on the issue. according to a new laser poll commissioned by pulse media, only 14 percent of canadians favored to cancel the holiday this year, which marks canada's $867.00 confederation as an independent country. that said, only 38 percent say they intend to fly a canadian flag on canada day for r t. i'm alex mile of it. the crisis scripts, lebanon is facing fresh woes in the form of gasoline shortages and power cars on the left of the countries. energy ministry increased fuel prices by more than a 3rd, and it's led to long keys for petrol and triggered price sites on consumer goods fall in protest of invoking the company already for weeks and rest. 11 homes been gaining momentum. in fact, since 2019 fuel by the currency, the valuing soaring prices and political instability, local correspondence, linda thomas has no massive car cues have become a regular side across the lebanon as people line up for hours in front of gas bumps

causing heavy congestion the country which had so far subsidized few medicine and wheat, has now begun rolling back the subsidy program starting with fuel to preserve its last remaining foreign currency reserves. petrol prices have increased by more than 35 percent as a consequence, and medicine could be next. some residents say they spend the entire night in their car, only to be able to fill up $15.00 to $20.00 leaders of gas and oftentimes, not without bribing gas station employees. every day we spend hours waiting in line to fill up with petrol. the main problem is traffic and i end up making very little money. after i bought food, i don't have much money left, but what can we do? the price of fuel is doubled and i can't even afford a full tank of the fuel crisis, however, doesn't normally affect drivers. it is also made its way to the countries beleaguered electricity grid. several states services were forced to suspend their

services on monday, for lack of power or equipment residence in beirut, have been getting less than 4 hours of electricity per day, and private generators are struggling to keep up. we are in a big crisis. we can't find medicines is a williams. i've been looking for medicine for 4 days and still can't find it. so, i mean, the main problem we're facing is that we're get enough medicine. paracetamol for instance, one of the most basic drugs isn't available treatment. so chronic diseases are hard to get to. we're also out of baby milk. how can infants leaves without milk? the situation is really bad. it was angry. residents have been protesting the deteriorating economic conditions in the past week, blocking highways with burning tires in beirut, and other areas, partially paralyzing the country. many are wondering how worse the situation could possibly get as lebanon crumbled, the outgoing interior minister again warned of a deterioration in the security situation. the crisis in which lebanon has been

stuck for a year and a half does not cease. i'm standing here in the dark with flashlights and candles, and sadly, this is the reality for many in lebanon, many who are growing, desperate by the day, with never ending crises, one can only wonder what's next, and one can only wonder how worse, the situation in lebanon can get the spanish government wants to allow people over the age of 16 to freely change that gender without a medical diagnosis or whole month's therapy. according to the draft law, children aged between 14 and 16 would need the permission of the parents or a court ruling in case of a dispute, or from the age of 12. it would only be possible to legally switch gender through the courts. my colleague in the near debated the pros and cons of the law with paula deanna, who's a women's rights activist and stephanie hayden's lawyer, media commentator in spain. the idea is to involve the court below

the age of 16. the court in conjunction with the parents, the child concerned, takes into account all the evidence of that particular individual case and reaches an informed not prejudicial decision. i think that the system which is being proposed in spain is ideal. the focus of the, the deal in spain, but in any other country should be to protect these, you know, people and everyone from discrimination, abuse, homophobia, trunk before. yeah. because these are the worst things. can you really say that a 14 year old is mature enough to make such a life altering decision? why the need to rush forward with this? surely the completely sensible thing to do is wait just a few more years until you're of a more auto frame of mind. and you're sure my understanding is that there will be a traditional mechanism below set. an age setting able 16,

i understand will be the decision of the young adult concerned. where is the young adult? let's be clear. but again, if we're talking about a month and democratic country, if you know, for example, there was serious concerns that parents were pushing a child one way or another, the social services in spain that could in to be inappropriate case for me personally, i don't think they are old enough for sure. we have to support them in these. they feel like that definitely they should leave as they prefer. but changing your documents, you know, it's a big step also because this drop of bill, again, it won't let you do that only, you know, with their decision. but then they want the court say, you know, to be involved if you want to go back. so it makes no sense, you should be free to go back without the court permission as an example. it should be undertaken on the basis of medical and social advice. bringing in the parents were concerned children. i'm yes, to inappropriate cases, especially

a young gauge. the judiciary no body is saying, let's just change gender jolly good luck. nobody saying let's all go to the children court. the stephanie says, you know, no one takes this without, you know, a light heart or to do this to take this type of decision. but it is also known that many times people, they also go back and they think, you know, they maybe made the wrong decision and they decide to did transition. the law doesn't focus on physically changing gender or going through hormone treatment. it's essentially a piece of paper. so why is it such a big problem? do you think one of the major problems from this being dropped in the sort of way? in my opinion, this is very important because we can't, we can't think the sex doesn't mean anything. and unfortunately it does how human people feel that gender identity related to them is the most of them. it's the most of the parents that professional advisors and,

and appropriate circumstances do dish re 5 transitions in the way i wished to transition. i'm a no competition with children. i support children who have to go through this process. once you know, when you're coming up to the break, oh i use ah, is your media a reflection of reality? in a world transformed what will make you feel safe for the tycer lation whole community? are you going the right way or are you being that somewhere which direction? what is truth is faith in the world corrupted. you need to

defend the join us in the depths. will remain in the shallows, use having a found introducing and found to, to a family when a new mother is going through that process. yeah, certainly, tremendous cause for great joy, but because it's an event that causes so many different changes. it's stressful, at many levels. ah, russia has seen a huge jump in daily coven infections this month has prompted the capital one of the hot spots that a radical action, including mandatory vaccines for most service sector work is 60 percent must be

fully inoculated by mid august. rule of his industries that were face to face with the public and tongue trasinski spoke to a relative professor, is also a key scientist on russia splitting v jump. the. this new mess with you shouldn't mix different claims together whether they're well or ill founded. for instance, you can't deny that there are side effects that severe and of course it would be better if there weren't any. it's all at the moment, it's impossible to create a vaccine. it doesn't cause a fever or general weakness. and broadly speaking, it doesn't really matter. during the pandemic now, as for the, i'll get sick any way claim. first of all, it's simply not correct. in this case, everything is based on chance. for example, if you are vaccinated, then there is definitely a chance to get sick with a job. the probability is lower than at least 50 percent. in fact, it's probably even lower. it should be clear vaccines, reduce morbidity as well as the severity fallacy of the disease that was up in the

new. ok, it's lee and this delta variance is more serious to put it bluntly. how is it different from or literature differs from say, the british variance, which is very contagious under the apparently become the dominant one in the us. additional mutations had such a big impact on it's the device started to interact less with antibodies, so to neutralize the virus, so you need more antibodies. in turn, this affects the efficacy of vaccines. they may be less effective store vaccines which already proven the high efficacy with against this new strain, but not quite as well. this is, however, modern technology allows us to boost the effectiveness of jobs by incorporating new mutation is the german data protection watchdog, missouri government organizations to close their pages on facebook by the end of the year. due to the tech, john's noncompliance with german and european privacy laws into oliver in berlin. as details. facebook just doesn't cut that when it comes to privacy law. when you

and german privacy law that's according to timber, who's the data protection commission. if the germany, he told the german government, an old german government organizations that got until the end of the year to close down their facebook pages, but not just that facebook old associated facebook social media. so that's clubhouse, that's instagram and tick tock as well. it is currently not possible to read a facebook page in a way that complies with data protection regulations, given the continuum breaches of personal data protection. this must be dealt with urgently. if you read a page, i strongly recommend that you shut it down by the end of the year. well, the official german government facebook page has over a 1000000 followers and it's being used as a tool to reach out to those people who don't engage with traditional media. what tell that has said is that there's no way to use a facebook page or a facebook product without transmitting all of your data to the united states where

privacy laws fall, well quite away short of what they are in the european union. well, when asked about this, facebook's answer is pretty much the way it is. if you want to use our stuff, go to deal with it. we updated our patients. i supplement and clarify the responsibility of facebook and website operators or the end of 2019 questions related to the transparency of data processing we're taking into consideration well, but not good enough for the german data protection commissioner. he's told the german government get rid of your facebook pages by the end of the year. and the world news, fireworks was phone of soldiers in east jerusalem. the people that tried to stop the demolition of property or palestinians were injured. tragedy in indonesia, with 6 people, debt and 7 missing after ferry sank. people were good to go and on our religion, the empress supplies for the international space station blasted up from by could

know the rushing cargo ship is carrying food, water, another essentials, the flight is expected to last 2 days. the the quick reminder, let me put in q and a session with the russian public that were blasting off in just a half an hour on june. for that me i look forward to talking to you all that technology should work for people. a robot must obey the orders given it by human beings, except when the shorter the conflict with the 1st law show your identification. we should be very careful about artificial intelligence. the point obviously is to

great truck rather than fear i would take on various jobs with artificial intelligence, real summoning with a robot must protect its own existence was long oh, when i went to the wrong one, i'll just don't get to see out the thing because the african and engagement equals the trail. when so many find themselves well, depart. we choose to look for common ground. ah,

today industries prefers millions of you know, the regulations will be all about making money. it's about the corporation. international markets import export. do you imagine the number of the diseases that are in every family today? it's, you know, due to new viruses on new microbes, that's not true. so it is due to environment. they're not going to take either the momentum much. let me come in today. mostly they don't allow us, the food industry will create more jobs, it will create more value added, it will create more so i don't see why we shouldn't also fight for the interest of the industry that we have regulation. we want the regulation as the industry and if

we don't have any specialty, that's fine. ah, i don't think the cops right on police report all have in december 2020 a group of anti finishes. fill out a film crew access for 3 months. 3rd row like people, organization, it's an idea that must be opposed that channel out the gate route. they make their faces, but they can say what they believe. then we believe in helping our community. we believe that fascism is one of the major threats to the united states has gotten proven. this is a chance to see who and teeth are really in order for me. my 1st amendment right and say that my life matter, i have to be onto the pieces that we can't trust the police. we can't trust the government. we can't trust anyone except ourselves to protect ourselves in
