the in the, in the story that shape the weekend onto international mass rallies and statues topple the canadian fence. their anger after the remains of more than a 1000 children are found at former indigenous residential schools run by the catholic church doing of san marcos 50th birthday behind the bars as you witness in the case against him, apparently admits to lying with something it could be a crucial blow to american legal action against the wiki league founder and the highly infectious and delta strain of the corona virus plunges, rush into a new wave of the pandemic and prompts moscow to make colbert status passes. mandatory, if you want to access restaurants and cafe,

you put the new system to the testing. and by officially inside a coven free. and i get, get rid of the mask. ah, are broadcasting what direct, more studios in moscow, this is our to international. i'm john thomas. certainly glad to have you with us. now, canada has seen anger spilling onto the streets with mass rallies after the discoveries of the remains of more than a 1000 children at former indigenous residential schools. cities cancelled national day celebrations. while in winnipeg, the statues of queen victoria and queen elizabeth the 2nd were toppled and defaced the

well, the british boils are seen to represent kennedy's colonial past, and red paint was dogged over the fallen statue of queen victoria. while the british prime minister spokesperson condemned any de facing of statues of the queen ortiz, alex salvage. looks back at what led to the latest to anger discovery after discovery, the latest one was on one's day 182 bodies founded cranbrook british columbia. this is close to a residential school. they use basically a radar that looks underground. and that's where they found these people in unmarked graves that adds to the initial finding, which happened on may 27th. and we can loops british columbia at another residential school of 215 people as young as 3 years old in mon, mark grace, and then of course, the scotch one, which was the biggest find so far, 751 people. so you add all these numbers up over a 1000 people found, but we have over 130 schools like this across canada.

ah, you learn not trying. you just get harder. and yeah, you learn to shut down every day was you were in constant fear that your hope was that it wasn't you today that was going to be the target, the victim. the program started in the late 18 hundreds and laughed at all the way up to 1996. when the last school was close, that 150000 native children ripped out of their families, arms and put into the schools. they were forced to go to the schools, the royal canadian mounted police were complicit in that they were the ones that would take the children from their families to the schools that were run primarily by the catholic church at about 60 percent, but also anglican and protest and other smaller churches across the country, the levels of abuse that we found at the schools was absolutely mind blowing. i just have to read something for you quickly. this is at 19

o. 7 report for the department of indian affairs is called the bryce report, documented 40 to 60 percent mortality rate in these schools, mostly of tuberculosis and then a 90 to 100 percent of these children. this is unbelievable suffered either from physical, emotional, or sexual abuse. we will have rates of 80 percent abuse on these 1st nations because of this legacy left behind by these churches and the canadian government, which funded all of these programs. so canadians are demanding that the government do something about this. we did have a back in 2015 a commission that said that this was a cultural genocide. they did very little about it up to now. now people are demanding the prime minister. do something about it and the prime minister, as well as indigenous communities, are demanding an apology from the catholic church. i really hope that this time it will lead towards this hope coming onto the canadian soil and apologizing

apologizing directly for the responsibility that the catholic church shares in this part of our history. and what is believed to be a reaction to what has happened in the past month or so is the churches are being burg, down on need of communities and close to residential schools. we've heard of 5 in british columbia to and berta at one all the way at the other side of the country in nova scotia. ah, ah. the prime minister has said that destroying places of worship is not the way to go, obviously. but at the same time, canadians are looking at the situation in a much broader perspective. hopefully canada will do more. and that's exactly what canadians are demanding. at this point. please say the church fires mentioned there

could be arson and related to the discovery of the great canadian prime minister called the alleged attacks. unacceptable and wrong. we heard from the indigenous community about the gruesome discoveries of the children's remains. it was a genocide and you look at the whole point of the residential school was to take the indian out of the indian to get rid of our language, get rid of our culture and children died. every 1st nation person is feeling the impact of the residential schools. my grandmother attended my grandfather attended thankfully, my mother didn't have to attend, but she still feels the impacts on it on a daily basis. it is a developed country. it is a one you know, a g 7 time treat. but internally, canada, it's, we're at a point where we're reflecting internally, the grave sites are the conversation, but the impact of colonization,

of ripping apart families. and today we are seeing the aftermath of that. it brings out anger and some it brings out frustration moving forward. what we have to do is the truth and reconciliation calls to campus to action. we implement those. i think we will be a way more developed country, which is one generation. there are some tough days ahead of us, but the end goal is to coexist as, as we should have at the beginning. hundreds of julian assign supporters gathered in london and new york on saturday to celebrate his 50th birthday, but is the 3rd birthday the week. and the founder has now spent in a british jail in washington is seeking his extradition to the u. s. for publishing classified material and if found guilty, he could be sentenced to up to 175 years. however, major witness in the u. s. case against him has reportedly admitted to giving false

testimony and frantic newspaper says, see good door, thor carson told them that his key allegations that astonished asked him to hack computers and phones are not true. this activity was said include attempts to hug into the computers of members of parliament and record their conversations. in fact, thought us and now admits the student that the sons never asked him to hack or access phone recordings of m p. 's. the revelations are seen as a major setback for washington, with some calling the admission fatal to americans case against the psalms with fellow whistleblower edward snowden. among them. this is the end of the case against julian sanchez. if biden continues to seek the extradition of a publisher under an indictment poison top to bottom, with false testimony, admitted by its own star, witness the damage to the united states, reputation and press freedom would last for a generation. it's unavoidable. we spoke to a friend of julia saw she gave him refuge back in 2010 british journalist von smith

says the charges against the week and weeks founder put journalism on the wrong side of the law. he's got some serious health issues which should have been getting worse and worse and worse psychologically. he's under extraordinary stress as you can well imagine. he's had one of the most horrible lockdown that i think anybody we could possibly think of had, you know, mostly in solitary confinement about 23 hours a day. he's got very poor communications. they went in public communicate downside, well, it's very hard for him to defend him. so you think it's absolutely devastating to the case again that i, you know, it also completely undermines america's case. but one has to observe that this was brought up under the previous administration, must be the current administration on the biden, bearing in mind the previous administration on the bottom. so not to follow this procedure against junior songs,

because they were aware of the impact it was going to have on journalism. these charges criminalized basic dental practices, which is why it's so surprising that the british american media den changing, making much of what's happened with dogs. and these are devastating. he is basically said he's explaining how he law to frame julian to try and fade his. he then skin, mainstream media, who spends a lot of time writing negatively about you haven't really picked up on this fold offs and story. and you know, i'm shocked about. i feel like it's there obliged to talk about the 60s. i'm salute the central to so that their own ability to report moscow intensified. it's covered the vaccination campaign last week with the highly contagious delta strain of the virus dominating new infections. booster jobs were initially meant to be given every year. however, because of the current surgeon tases,

doctors are now advising a new shot every 6 months. the mayor of moscow says both is pretty v and it's light variant are suitable for the job. of the capitals campaign comes as delta strain infections jump nationwide. the country's case load more than doubled over the course of june and peak down 225000 daily infections. on sunday. of those moscow registered more than 7 and a half 1000 new cases. the rise has prompted the city to introduce a mandatory coven status pass that grant access to public places of to qualify you need either to be vaccinated, have antibodies or a negative p c r. test that no less or no more. rather than 3 days old parties, constantino rose cough put his own cure code to the test. this is my q r code. something party goers now can't live without moscow since this has become one of the only way to get into a restaurant or bar here. so i decided to investigate how the system works and

whether it actually does it all. so let's now go to a couple of places here together. we started off with one of the most popular place in my neighborhood. it usually has lots of customers all day long. i also brought my son along. he hasn't been vaccinated, and he hasn't had coven. so he doesn't have a q r code. so we're going to be, this is going to be a problem. there was a line outside find out what's going on. so i think i got a little bit of work in new york. what hold on that as well, it turned out my local fast food restaurant was serving takeaway orders only, no indoor dining, was allowed regardless of vaccination status. when you go, when you have

a value for your you said berkeley, not every restaurant in moscow was able to organize q r code scanning in time. anyway, there was another place across the street. we decided to check out more for them. this time this staff did have the necessary equipment, which is just a regular smartphone by the way. but there's something weird happened. mike, you are code didn't work. the i had to go to a government website, download the q r code again, and it finally worked. but then something else came up. in moscow, you need to show your vaccination certificate along with an id. i had a password on, but my wife had only a drivers license, even though have an a passport is not a rule. we were denied indoors service. they only let us sit outside on

a terrace. bottom line is that we were denied to dining at the 2nd place this morning. so i'm gonna keep looking for the right spot. and finally, we managed to get through the at this turkish restaurant. everything went on without a hitch. they also let our 8 year old unvaccinated kid in as we were told. young children are allowed inside if their parents have valid q r codes, especially inside a coal that free. i can get rid of the mask. yes, once you're inside, you're back to the free coven era. no masks or social distance are required. as you can see, it's pretty deserted. i think that we are the only customers at the moment. i don't, there are 2 more people out there. but otherwise,

it's pretty empty for vaccinated customers. the immediate benefits are quite obvious. now there are always plenty of tables available and you can enjoy waiters this undivided attention for reference owners though. things might not look as if it was the fact that this system has been introduced across moscow. so people accept it, they come prepared and even say that they have a cure code trade away. but at the same time it's summer now and they still prefer to relax on the veranda. the fact that we have some are veranda helps of course, guest without cure codes, concede there, but it's too early to talk about how many customers we've lost because of this policy. we have to wait and see what it shows up on the. so this is apparently something both citizens and restaurants will have to become used to at least while cove. it is still raging. and even though a couple of months ago, people were extremely skeptical about getting the job. in the past couple of weeks, moscow authorities received more than 80000 vaccination request

a de fuel the hopes that one day moscow will eventually escape from cove its loss. custody raska r t. from moscow. while imposing new demands on businesses, moscow is also rewarding people who are sticking to the rules. restaurants following q r code policy will receive subsidies on their utility bills and the 1st 100 business says to have 60 percent of their staff fully vaccinated law. so get money from the government. looking at the bigger picture, the delta strain has spread to about $100.00 countries in france at accounts to 20 percent of the new cases. and in britain it's almost 100 percent. we spoke to the world health organization, special envoy for coven, about how best to manage the risk of virus at the moment. we can be 100 percent. certain the vaccine use that we have at the moment will

protect us against all possible versions of this virus. so therefore, we should be accepting the vaccines will reduce our risk of getting cobit quite honestly, actually box. they're not going to guarantee, and therefore, what we're saying is huge vaccines is part of your control effort. but also, why not just keep going with the physical distancing the one me to row? why not keep going with ma squaring? why not keep going with really good hygiene? why not keep going with isolation when you're sick? why not keep going with protecting elderly people and those who got other diseases with the back scenes because they are really good protected? if there is the perception conveyed to the population of any country, that basically we're all going to say we're going to break 3,

break free and we're not going to be troubled by the virus. and there's no turning back. it's a bit of a hostage to fortune just suppose this far as takes advantage of the freedom day and really spreads an awful lot and you end up with a situation of a lot of sickness and considerable debt plus distress. and if somebody is running a hotel or running an airline, no running an airport or running a festival, if day, you can have quick tests at the entrance and then quick daily, checkups will test again for participants go, it would make such a difference. so yes, i'm super keen on a frequent, reliable, inexpensive tract just to them talks any that sally grad and it doesn't exist. grades and fireworks are being held across the us to mark independence day. but the

very symbols meant to bring the nation together and stand for unity are also splitting people apart. is what i got to have comments nothing. both americans as close together as the 4th of july last day of unity of solidarity of coleman spirit, who it was merican thought that they had an identity to cute, to find the miracle. i defy you to tell me what constitutes an american can do it with incredibly diverse democracy. what makes it american mal, apparently not even the president knows that being a patriot lesson serving in the marines paying taxes. is that waving the flag, putting up the stars and stripes and poll outside your house? know that according to the media, just might make you of fanatical republican. today, flying the american flag from the back of a pickup truck or over

a lawn is increasingly seen as a clue will be. it's an imperfect one to a person's political affiliation in a deeply divided nation. while they're right about division, which the media of course frightened inflamed in the name of ad revenue, but it's everywhere. people see everything differently. everyone has an opinion that they'd rather that rather die than give up. everything is a battle ground, race, religion, booting sex, orientation, police, immigration, and war. there is almost nothing left that americans agree on, have the flag symbol of unity as now a symbol of oppression. it is chatted dated, divisive and incorrect. it no longer represents democracy and freedom, it no longer represents all of us. it's not fair to be forced to honor aid. it's signed for a new flag. what if the flag look like this? and just like that out of a sheet so you can see it

a little way down the road protests and counter protests about changing the flag rods and shootings and enmity. because one person's idea is a bob winnable to another. you're founded on an idea. we hold these truths to be self evident. but all men and women are created equal, endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights, life, liberty to suit, happiness, sounds corny, to america. we learn this in grade school and high school. an idea that seems to have expired. what do they learn in schools now? critical race theory, the idea that white is bad, the idea that no, we were created equal, but we didn't believe equal. and that racism has tainted every aspect of institutional america. that's what they learned in school. now, a far cry from created equal and you talk about critical race theory,

which is pretty much going to be teaching to how to hate each other. how to do okay, it's pretty much all gone down to, you know, deliberately, pcs. why do you right here? got to you because he why? why? oh, the black people are all down. how do i have to know what degree the senior, oprah, your black or white or any doesn't matter if you're black, why? brown? yeah. right. and in how we treat people is based on who they are and what are you in tomorrow? this is, this is how children think right here. critical race nearing want to in now we my children. it's not going to happen. one couldn't only wonder how the land they going to go off the asian americans next. and then latino is paps, maybe a few decades down the line and the sick twist of already they'll turn it against african americans. at the end of the day,

america is bursting at the seams. it's. it's not over population. it's over belief where everyone has an idea that they think is better than everyone else's, and they demand that people respect it. here is the real problem. you have people to day, independent of any history saying we want to have the black national anthem. maybe we want to have the l g, b, g, q, i a national anthem. and you have people in corporate structures in various governmental entities who say, fine, we'll do whatever you want. we'll recognize that to some people, america is whatever they say it is. shake a rorschach test. you look at a cloud, you see a bunny. i see a dog. it's our interpretation. that's where we are right now. and we're going

through this i guess it's version of it words. we make it up as we go along. and i, to me, in my humble opinion, i think this is, this is temporary, i think we always go through this in one form or another. and eventually things will somewhat shuttle down. but it's, it's most disconcerting to some people who believed that there was a degree of solidity and permanence to american history. but to other people make it up as they go along. the white house has tried to cash in on the 4th of july celebrations by claiming credit for a cheaper barbecues, but not everybody is hot on the claim. the savings of just $0.16 planning of cook out the sheer ketchup on the news. according to the farm bureau, the cost of a 4th of july barbecue is down from last year. it's a fact. you must heard hot dog. the biden economic plan is working and not

something we can all rubbish. look what i got from the grocery store with the $0.16 . i saved. thanks biden. wow. what will we peasants do with that big 16 samson savings. the possibility of their endless. when with $0.16 have been significant savings. 823. how dog prices may be down, but inflation has driven us gasoline prices up by a dollars in last year. what tricity and overall food prices are on the up as well with inflation set at its highest since 2008. however, the white house thinks that people should focus on the 3000000 jobs created since biden came to power. how think $0.16 of barbecue had more of an impact on people's lives than gas being a dollar more this time. i would say, if you don't like hotdogs, you may not care of the reduction of cost. you don't have to look up here fine,

but the big i reduction. i will say that what we're most focus on is the fact that we've created now more than 3000000 jobs since the president took office. political analyst, dakota, lily told us that the white house boasting about saving $0.16 does show just how out of touch it really is. there hasn't really been a president in a very, very long time that has taken the taken to consideration the effects of their policy is on the workers. and i think that's the most important thing to take away from this place. they really think that $0.16 is amazing, and we're going to go out to the streets and, you know, show our love for president biden over $0.16. i haven't seen much effort on the, by an administration to pursue any sort of economic policy that i think will have any bearing right now would be a fabulous time for federal jobs guarantee. universal job guarantees. you know, we have unemployment numbers,

they talk about the 3000000 jobs that they've created, but how long has under employment and people who are working part time that want to work full time. you know, there's real unemployment numbers are much higher there, at least in the double digits. and even at the same time, does it really matter if $3000000.00 jobs are created? if they're all created at mcdonald's, wendy's target and walmart, not really. people won't, gainful employment and the federal government could provide that, but they chosen not to even s. the economy is growing at an accelerated pace. even if the economy g d, p is expanding. how much does that actually translate into people's everyday lives? the why that does it for me. i will be back with another look at your weekly about 32 and a half minutes. this is our international stay with me. ah,

what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy even foundation. let it be an arms race is often very dramatic. development only personally, i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very political time. time to sit down and talk to me the the with me i'm action or tell you we're going to go. i think the stories the powerful don't

when you didn't know coming up with the show see fire on know see 5, palestine is changed forever. we talked to the 1st woman, told us he'd in the highest executive body and palace and then on a shroud we and as form a local coca cola boesky lamb, a lasso is inaugurated. his equity was new president, how us interests projected in jo biden's backyard, is he deport hundreds of thousands across the mexico border? it's the history of us back death, squads regime change in mass killing all with the complicity of britain in the nations of europe and union. we speak to professor as the chomsky about secret allies or more coming up in today's going on the government versus the death toll of women and children in ga, up to many multiples of israelis and join now from ramallah in the west bank by the 1st woman to hold a seat in the highest executive body in palestine talked with another shroud. we thank you so much for coming back on the show. before we get on to i mean, cease fire or know sci fi. this is being a watershed. some are saying, what are you hearing about the scale of suffering in the past few weeks from these?

well, british american and you nation weapons launched by israel. absolutely. when you have hundreds of innocent civilians can have home women and children, primarily, children actually have all homes. they managed again, you'll have 14000 you then sion apartments and really been destroyed. you have the interest of the roads, the water system, even to the point of getting to be electricity and song you have many clinics strikes. so it's like destroying the economics that has benson and the human dimensions of guys, guys i know and let alone talking about westbank and through some of which you have scores have thousands injured. so that is an insurance and targeting that has been adult to the use of.
