the moon the top headlines for this our here on our lot i may put in a wraps up his live q and a marathon with the russian public. revealing off the weeks of speculations that he had the sport and vaccine, and that russia won't be dictated to by social media platforms like facebook. often discovery of mass graves of indigenous children at religious schools in spite of a suspected often attacked. these 4 catholic churches burned down in canada. rage spills over into street violence and 11 on my fuel price hikes have aggravated the country's economy crisis and lead to long tail backs at the pump. also, spain seeks to make it easier for teenagers to change their gender by no longer

requiring a medical diagnosis. we debate the controversial draft law subsystem which is being proposed in spain is our deal personally. i don't think they are holding people. they also go back, they think, you know, they maybe made the wrong decision. ah, well, it's already been a big day full of new. it's an aussie international now, just after 4 pm here at moscow. hey, come your top stories. so vladimir putin annual live q and a session with the russian public has just wrapped up talking in it around the 4 hour mark. almost 2000000 questions were submitted in yvonne's covering a wide range of issues. for example, president putin to reveal that he had opted for the sputnik v vaccine. and also the social media johns like facebook. if they want to operate in russia, they have to obey russian laws. let's get more details now. he's constantino rush,

cough he's been standing by on watching the entire presidential q and a today so much to go through. what are some of well, hi, lights, cost. sure, lori. so be q and a session of latter and put in his rep topic lasted almost 4. 4 hours, not quite the record, but still this was huge and truly a marathon and it was, you know, how come out of questions and emotions that were running through this whole session . so we heard questions from covert and pen damage to the recent incident in the black sea with the british warship, several times of library plume referred to he's recent meeting with joe biden. but you know, as always, it's a mixed bag of serious, really tough questions and intense conversations and some laughable moments, especially at the end by repeating was that was like sort of like

a quiz were environment putting was asked to give like short answers to quick questions and, you know, one of the viewers asked who iron's library put insurance springs and so it just goes to highlight the variety of issues and topics that are being covered at events like this every, every year. but as for my notes, well, let me start with the beginning of this whole q and a session. you mentioned rory that let me put and finally reveal he was vaccinated with spook nick v. so again, back in april, when he got shot, he refrained from revealing what was the what was the shot. he said he would do not want to advertise for any particular ran, saying that all 3 russian vaccines are equally effective. but now when he was asked again, what was it he finally give it away. he also touched upon the mandatory vaccine and the subject of mandatory vaccination in russia. and you know,

probably that some of the regions in this country and post limited mandatory vaccination, we could say for certain groups of people, especially that was involved in public sector and attainment bars, restaurants, etc. so let me make it clear that he is not a supporter of a blanket nationwide vaccination mandatory vaccination in russia. although he backed up those original governors in those regions where they impose this mandatory limited mandatory vaccination for certain groups of people. and the russian president said that he's a pain, and this is the only way to overcome this new 3rd way of a corona virus that has engulfed russia recently. now, what are my food? and also has said that speaking of, you know, international about international topics. he said that the times of unipolar world has long passed that the western nations months get used to the fact that there are

no other names that there are other nations on the global stage. and let me approve, maintain that regardless of the sanctions against russia, the country is going to keep strengthening. and in fact, he said that were there were a lot of positive things out of those st. transfer for instance, low national debt. and he also said, speaking about it, that russia's military capability are at all time high level. now. now let me put in those who gave a lot of attention to the recent incident in the black sea with a british ship or that entered russian territorial waters off the coast of crimea. and he said that this was a complex provocation. hillson noted that he doesn't think that this was simply the peas, russia, but rather he believes that the british navy wanted to catch russia's defense capabilities and see how the russian navy and asian in this region are going to react to what have a listen. will i need to destroy engine our waters pursuing firstly military

objectives using recognizance aircraft, a spine, military actions to suppress such provocations. they were exploring possible weak points, looking at how things work and where they located. we saw new their plan, so we fed them information that we deemed appropriate. maybe have just let a secret slip. i'm sure the military will, excuse me. while on this subject, vladimir putin also mentioned his recent summit when joe biden, he wondered out loud, what was the need for such a high profile meeting since? right after it, the watch and its allies are doing something that hostile meeting has just taken place in geneva. i wonder why such a provocation was necessary to what is this all about? notice when besides that they do not respect the choices of the crime, means that they do not recognize something well, just don't recognize it. why do you also need to carry outside provocations?

at least we know what we're fighting for for our own territory for ourselves, for our future. it is not we who came to them thousands of kilometers away by water . it is they who showed up at our borders and violated our territorial waters. another interesting remark here, let me put and said that even if the russian military had sunk the british worship, this wouldn't have meant the start of the 3rd world war because he added, there is no way the west comes out. victorious out of any possible confrontation with russia and those countries know this according to vladimir, put him on a different subject. he was also asked if there are any plans to pull the plug on foreign social media platforms in russia. and the president said that there are no such plans whatsoever. but he said that there are issues with those platforms, especially when they ignore the russian law and do not comply with for instance,

when they refuse to moderate sensitive content like children's pornography lever and food and also expressed hope that those social media will open local officers in russia, let's have a listen. we used to work in our country and on a decent money they must have been our laws. so 1st of all, we demand that international platforms open, that representative offices, legal entities, with which you can at least conduct a dialogue. we tell them if you have a child pornography or instructions on suicide or how to make molotov cocktails, you have to remove it. but they don't even want to listen to us. that's not right. why remember that? and also has said that russia simply follows the suit of other nations that also impose certain regulations on social media. now, on the last serious note, let me put and was asked what kind of songs he sings when on vacation. and he answered that since he's a russian, he's music taste are not far from other russians. he said he,

every now and then hums russians and times of in soviet songs, which he finds, quote, unquote, beautiful and meaningful because of the rush. cough we've enjoyed your coverage for the big q and a annual event with the russian president today. thanks for that. well, and i feel like, you know, during a very quick 5 session, right at the end, let me put it was squeezed over what he intends to do. once he stepped down, you would say, where are you going to work after retirement? mission personal i work after retirement and tools and i'll be sitting idle by my fire and just running 10 minutes past the out here in the russian capital. this is arty international. now a catholic church in the canadian province of alberta has been damaged in a suspected austin attack. its the latest in a string of similar incidents all across the country and with 4 churches in british columbia. boating down in just the past 10 days alone. there's growing anger,

the churches role in the countries campaign to forcibly assimilate indigenous children at the residential schools in the past. earlier, the remains of hundreds of indigenous kids were discovered at such a school run by the catholic church, ultimately forcing canada to confronted stock past. children at these schools were banned from using their original names, languages, and customs, and were forcibly assimilated into society. the canadian prime minister called the grave, a shameful reminder of systemic racism and encourage the country to learn from past mistakes. pope francis said he was paying by the discovery and called for the rights and cultures of indigenous peoples to be respected. we spoke with indigenous activist florida williams who says that canada still has a long way to go to still stamp out discrimination with information as well. there's a lot of angry. this is the 1st time the world is actually being

made, but actually accepting an acknowledging. and there's still a lot of people who aren't accepting it. who aren't you? i think what needs to be done is not envisioned that people need to stop being racers. the government we've dropping race is that what needs to be done? our people have done a lot of healing work around is trauma. we've been doing this work for awhile. we knew she was going to happen at some point. we've always known that those children are there. we've always known then genocide, non indigenous people need to do their work because they're the ones who are causing harm to us. you know, to the day the genocide still happening in different forms. it's what some of the survivors had to say about that time that. 2 8 on.

8 the. 8 8 8 do you see a did you have 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 talked 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. within a year i lost all of it. 8 i used to him i tried to trying and night. 2 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 his mind. i pleaded with the principal for days to take him to the doctor. ah, to actually take advantage of me and abuse me, not one, not too many, many people for very long time until i was 16. i held everything in and didn't tell anybody for 20 years. july, the 1st will be marking annual canada day, but the country's indigenous community is calling for all the festivities to be cancelled. they say there's nothing to celebrate and they want canada day actually to be an occasion to reflect on the real history of canada ortiz, alex mahalo, which takes a closer look july. first 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. this 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,

need of 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's truth and reconciliation commission concluded the countries the 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 citing 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, fords conservative brethren at the federal level to be back as a growing number of communities decide to skip celebrations. era no tool, leader of the conservative party of canada has positioned himself and his party as

defenders of canada day and import. oh, 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 candidates $1867.00 confederation as an independent country. that said, only 38 percent say they intend to fly a canadian flag on canada day for our t. i'm alex, mileage crisis script, lebanon is facing fresh woes. this in the form of gasoline shortages on the power cuts off the countries energy ministry increased fuel prices by more than 35 percent. so it's lead to long queues for petrol and triggered price tags on all sorts of consumer goods. al vaughn and protests have actually been rocking the country for weeks aggression. lebanon has been gaining momentum all the way from

2019, fueled by the currency, the valuation soaring prices and political instability. here's a report from local correspondent, linda tommy masses per cues have become a regular side across lebanon, as people line up for hours in front of gas pumps, causing heavy congestion. the country which had so far subsidized few medicine and wheat, has now begun rolling back at 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 for what can we do?

the price of fuel is doubled and i can't even afford a full time management. the fuel crisis, however, doesn't only affect drivers. it has 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 find it. so, i mean, the main problem we're facing is that we're not getting enough mentions for a set them all. for instance, one of the most basic drugs isn't available. treatment for chronic diseases are hard to get to. we're also out of baby milk. how can instance live without mill? 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, to 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 leather on. many who are growing. desperate by the day was never ending crises. one can only wonder what's next, and one can only wonder how worse the situation in lebanon can get more still to come here on the channel, on our tea international with moscow, dealing with another wave of covert infections, we're seeing control measures introduced in the capitol in just a moment we hear from one of the scientists actually behind rushers of sputnik v vaccine will get your his story right off of the brain.

the media a reflection of reality in a world transformed what will make you feel safer? tyson lation whole community. are you going the right way, or are you being somewhere direct? what is true? is faith in a world corrupted. you need to defend the join us in the depths will remain in the shallows, use

after the fight. in some european leaders, such as germany's merkel and frances macro called for renew dialogue with russia. the baltic states in poland said not so fast. thus there is no consensus within the e u on how to move forward. the ball remains in brussels court. the good that with us today for the program. the spanish government ones to allow people over the age of 16 to freely change their gender without a medical diagnosis or even a hormone therapy. according to the draft law, children aged between $14.16 would need parental permission or a court ruling in case of a dispute. while from the age of 12, it would only be possible to legally switch agenda through the courts. my colleague, unit o'neill debate the pros and cons of the law with power, the diana, who is

a women's rights activist, but also stephanie hayden, a lawyer and media commentator in spain. the idea is to involve the core below the age of 16, the core to in conjunction with the parents, the child concerned takes into account all the evidence of that particular individual case and reaches and formed not prejudicial decision. i think that 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, keep on 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 judicial mechanism below set. an age setting able 16, i understand will be the decision of the young adult consent, or if the young gods will, let's be clear up. but again, if we're talking about a modern democratic country, a, you know, for example, there was serious concern. the parents will push the child one way or another. the social services explain that couldn't 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 to, 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. nobody is saying, let's just change gender for jolly good luck. nobody saying let's all go to bed. the children cur, 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 say one of the major problems from this being dropped in a way, in my opinion, this is very important because we con and we can't think the sex doesn't mean anything. and unfortunately, he does cow, human,

people feel that gender identity really to them is the market for them. it's most of the parents that professional advisors and, and appropriate circumstances to 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. russia has seen a jump in daily covert infections this month. that's come to the capitals and at one of the hot spots to take action. that includes mandatory vaccines from most service sector workers. 60 percent must be fully inoculated by mid august. the rule covers industries that work face to face with the public authors. anton cross off ski spoke to her ology professor, who is also one of the key scientists behind rushers, sputnik v vaccine. the just knew that miss, which 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 of it, 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 5. it's probably even lower. it should be clear vaccines reduce morbidity as well as the severity analyst quality of the disease it will on ethically. and this delta variance is more serious to put it bluntly. how is it different or literature different from say, the british variance, which is very contagious and apparently become the dominant one in the u. s. additional mutations had such a big impact on it's the device started to interact less with antibodies. so to

neutralize the violence, you need more antibodies to insert this affects the efficacy of vaccines. they may be less effective vaccines which are already proven the high efficacy work against the new strain, but not quite as well. this is, however, modern technology allows us to boost the effectiveness of jobs by incorporating new mutation and more information and details on that story. on our website r t dot com for the meantime. that's the program for this island. we are back soon with more. the aah! i use

imagine picking up a future textbook on the early years of the 21st century. what other chapters called gun violence school shootings, homelessness. first, it was my job then it was my sampled. didn't was my savings. i have nothing. i have nothing and it's not like i don't try. i live for resources. i look for jobs. i look for everything i can to make this past and all i end up doing is passing the road to the american dream aid with dead refugees. at this very idealized image of the older america, native americans look past the death that happened every single day. this is a modern history of the usa, my america on r t the,

[000:00:00;00] the was i'm action or we're going understanding of the narratives, the so called mainstream media will give you coming up on the show. was boris johnson's g 7 conference, the nail in the coffin, neoliberalism with no china, russia. presidents in coldwell, that ahead of wednesdays. putin. by the summit in geneva, we investigated china sees the future of mankind and where the western democracy is amiss. all the more coming up in today's edition of going underground over the weekend, the circle g 7 countries, including the u. s. and you came in cornwall for its annual summit that some of accused of repelling and anti russia and the china agenda. western relations,

one of the world's largest economies, china have argument reached a low point, particularly in the wake of accusations over a week last week and week of genocide. nevertheless, communist china is the only major economy that hit record economic growth in the 1st quarter of this year. amidst the current pandemic. joining me now for a special show from shanghai, venture capitalist and political scientist, eric lee, thanks so much eric for coming on. the g sounds for a group, but i don't know whether you think it could stand for globalization. you said before that globalized door globalism, injected globalization is dead, has been dead for a while. was the g 7 basically another funeral? well, thank you for having the i will call the funeral it it's, it's a small party, you know. listen, i grew up my high school. i went to 300
