my thought allow me just go out to the, it's our top headlines here on our teeth. vladimir putin wraps up his live q and a microphone with the russian public revealing after weeks of speculation that he has had the sputnik v vaccine. and that russia was being dictated to by social media platforms like facebook. after the recent discovery of the mass graves of indigenous children at religious schools and canada for catholic church is above the ground and suspected austin attack and rage erupt into violence in lebanon, where the fuel price hikes of worth in the countries economic crisis and lead to long fuse out the pumps also seeks to make it easier for teenagers to change gender by no longer requiring

a medical diagnosis on the program we debate this controversial draft law the subsystem which is being proposed in spain is i feel personally, i don't think they are old enough people, they also go back and they think, you know, they maybe made the wrong decision. ah, what it wants become a busy day for your worldwide news headlines. welcome to the program here at 5 o'clock now here in the russian capital, 1700 hours. this is asi international. let me put in the annual live q and a session this year clocked in almost 4 hours the president revealed he had opted for russia's sputnik covert vaccine. he also cover the issue, for example, that social media. john's, like facebook must obey local laws if they want to operate in the country,

are correspondent, cause it in a rush. coff has details that let me finally reveal he was vaccinated was supposed to be so again, back in april when he got the shot, he refrained from revealing what was the what was the shot. he said he would 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. also touched upon 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 letterman couldn't 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, speaking to international about international topics, he said that the times of unipolar world has long passed that the western nations must get used to the fact that there are other nations on the global stage. and proving, 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 knows re 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 british shipper 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 to tease rush. i would rather he believes that the british navy wanted to catch russia defense capabilities and see how the russian navy and asian in this region are going to react. so let's have a listen. will i need to destroy any waters pursuing firstly military objectives using a reconnaissance aircraft spine on military actions to suppress such provocations. they were exploring possible weak points, looking at how things work and where are they located? we saw new their plan, so we fred them information that we deemed appropriate. maybe i'll just let a secret slip. i'm sure the military will, excuse me. while on the subject matter, my post and also mention his recent summit with joe biden, he wondered out loud,

what was the need for such a high profile meeting since? right after the wes and its allies are doing something that hostile teachers in a meeting has just taken place in geneva. i wonder why such a provocation was necessary to what is this all about? in order to emphasize 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 are 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 putin 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 you. so if they work in our country and on 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, it was and also has said that russia simply follows the suit of other nations that also impose certain regulations on social media. his sings when on vacation. and he

answered that since he is a russian, his music taste are not far from other russians. he said he every now and then hums russians in times of in soviet songs, which he finds, quote unquote, beautiful and meaningful, also worthy and again on a lighter note during the quick fire session, at the end of it, all of them i put in was quick over his daily chores and retirement plans, which are what, where are you going to work after retirement? should work after retirement at all. i'll be sitting idle by my fire star. choose your color irons. sure. sure. somebody where i live. there is a dry cleaning service since you thank you for the question because it gives me the opportunity to thank those people say a big thank you to them. i really see them, but i'm always impressed with the quality of their work. when millions of people are watching you, you have to look presentable. a catholic church in the canadian

province of alberta has been torched in a suspected arson attack. it's the latest in a string of similar incidents all across the country with 4 churches and british columbia burned to the ground in the past 10 days alone. it comes amid growing anger of the churches role in the countries campaign to forcibly assimilate indigenous children at a residential schools in the past. the remains of hundreds of indigenous children were recently discovered at such a school run by the catholic church, forcing kenneth to ultimately confronted dog past children at the school to a band from using their languages, their names, their customs were forcibly assimilated into society. of the canadian prime minister, branded the graves, quote, shameful reminder of systemic racism and encourage the country to quote, learn from past mistakes. pope francis said he was pained by the discovery and cold for the rights and cultures of indigenous peoples to be respected. but activist

laura, a williams believes canada still has an awful long way to go with this 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, as people need to stop being races, the government we're stopping race is that what needs to be done? our people have done a lot of healing a work around this trauma. we've been doing this work for a while. we knew this was going to happen at some point. we've always known that those children or they're, 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 to this day, the genocide still happening in different forms. here's what are some survivors have to say about that time at the schools. 2 8 on. 8 the. 8 8 8 every day you will see it was that it wasn't due today, it was going to be the target, the victim. you know, you weren't going to have to suffer anything humiliation. you learn not crying anymore. you just get harder. and yet you learn to shut down. ah, i couldn't talk a word of english. i talked creek and i was abused for that hit and made to try to talk english. i lost my language, threatened with a strapping you spoke it. within

a year, i lost all of it. so i used to him i dreamt occurring at 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 of his mind. i pleaded with the principal for days to take you to the doctor. ah, they started to actually 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. well, on july, the 1st is canada day with a country's indigenous community, as calling for the festivities to be cancelled. they say there's nothing to celebrate. instead they want the day to be an occasion to reflect on the countries passed on seas. alex mileage looks at the issue july 1st is canada's birthday. the annual event is usually celebrated with family barbecues and fireworks like

these. 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 the 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 pushback 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. 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 and alex mileage, the fuel shortages are only adding to the problem is in crisis. hit lebanon. prices were suddenly hiked by more than a 3rd by the energy minister leading to long queues at the pump, san, a surge,

and the cost of the various consumer goods of all the protests of in rock in the country actually for weeks. but the unrest has been building since 2019, fueled by the currency, the valuing store in crisis and cylindrical instability. a report from a local journalist of linda, tommy massive park hughes had 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 the subsidy program, starting with few 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 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. presidents 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 easily and 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 medicine for reset them all. 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 sleep 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 the agenda without a medical diagnosis or hormone therapy. according to the drop 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, you know, neil put the issue up for debate 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 of all the evidence of that particular individual case and reaches and informed not prejudicial decision. i think that the system which has been proposed in spain is ideal. the focus of the deal in spain, but in any other country should be to protect these, you know, keep everyone from discrimination, abuse, homophobia, try to forget 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 they 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 consent is a young adult. let's be clear. but again, if we're talking about a month and democratic country a, you know, for example, there was serious concerns that parents were pushing a child one way or another, the social services in spain 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 the 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 no body is saying, let's just change gender for jolly good luck. nobody saying let's all go to the children court. the stephanie says, you know, no one takes it 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 problem from this being a draft and 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 he does. how you people feel that gender identity relates to them, is the most of them. it's the most of the parents, the professional advisors and, and appropriate circumstances. the judiciary, 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 covert infections this month. it's prompted the capital to take action, including mandatory vaccines for most surface sector workers. 60 percent must be fully inoculated by the middle of august. the ruled covers industries that work face to face with the public ortiz until cross off ski spoke to her ology professor, who's also one of the key scientists behind rushers. sputnik v vaccine. the me just knew me. yes. would. 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 poorly 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 want vaccinated, then there is definitely a chance to get sick with a job. the probabilities lower than at least 50 percent. in fact, it's probably even lower. this should be clear vaccines reduce morbidity as well as the severity analyst. ality of the disease is a plea and this delta variance is more serious to put it bluntly. how is it different, honestly treated different from say, the british variance, which is very contagious and is 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 violence, we need more antibodies. in turn, this affects the efficacy of vaccines. they may be less effective store vaccines, which are already proven their high efficacy work against the new strain, but not quite as well as the whole of a modern technology allows us to boost the effectiveness of jobs by incorporating mutation is government organizations in germany hoping, owed to close their facebook pages by the end of the year, the countries data protection watchdog made the made the call ultimately citing the social media. john's noncompliance with the local privacy laws and excuse me, his correspondent peter oliver. facebook just doesn't cut us when it comes to privacy law when you and german privacy law that's according to timber, who's the data protection commissioner for germany. he's told the german government and all german government organizations, they've got until the end of the year to close down their facebook pages,

but not just their facebook old associated facebook social media. so that's clubhouse, that's instagram and tick tock as well. it is currently not possible to run 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, while 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 the 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,

got to deal with it. we updated our patients. i supplement and clarify the responsibility of facebook and website operators at the end of 2019 questions related to the transparency of data processing. and we're taken 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, or improve some other global headlines for you here on the program. a violence has fled in east jerusalem with fire was shot at soldiers. it came as people tried to stop property from being demolished. we understand for palestinians were injured. 6 people confirm dead on 7 others missing. after a fairy sign can indonesia, we understand more than 50 people had been on board at the time. the boat report is taking on water only about half an hour after leaving port and fresh supplies for the international space station have blocked off from the bike and the cosmo drone or the russian cargo ship is carrying food, water, and other essentials,
