the injecting pressure to inoculate against covey to governments and companies around the world air, controversial ads on vaccines as unlocking normal life. but could it split society down the middle? we debate the issue. you're going to create a society, they just choose not to have it. they're creating their own apartheid need, those who need it. and so you should be happy to say it, but if it is not working, if there is 11 word that can explain it, it's greed, world health organization slam as well. the states for hiking global that vaccine disparity and adults producers to raise supplies to developing nation, comes with the new regulator still hasn't approved. astrazeneca shops made in india, us approvals for oil and gas drilling under joe biden appeared to skyrocket to
9:01 am
their highest since george w bush was an office. despite the current president's pledge to go green ah, the 4 pm in russia's capital, and you're watching our teens or national. i'm your host donald quarter. welcome to the program looter chris, that's how a british law makers slammed an ad by a top beer maker which suggests vaccinations the only way to get back to normal life. although there's been a low uptake of jobs by those under 30 law makers, warren heineken commercial sends the wrong message. the hind can really ought to consider whether discriminating is loyal customers who may
9:02 am
be, cannot be vaccinated for medical or other reasons. there are lots of people who can't be vaccinated and it's quite wrong that they should not be able to go into a pub and have a drink. ludicrous. i'm surprised to not making recommendations and other countries given their levels of vaccine hesitancy. yet comes after british ministers reportedly drew up plans for mandatory vaccine passports to enter pubs and restaurants from the autumn. that's despite what's presented as a hugely successful inoculation program with almost 35000000 already having received a shot. but britain far from the only country where pro vaccine pressures in full force and some apparently have gone too far. the what you just saw there was an australian ad that's been denounced for scare
9:03 am
tactics and for using an actor in an age group. not yet eligible for the shot. the pace of inoculation in the countries slow due to dose shortages. which critic say make such campaigns even less appropriate? we debated the issue real worry for me about this is you're going to create i to take society. there will be those people who call to have a vaccine for medical reasons or maybe for their own reasons, or maybe because they younger and they haven't had that vaccine invite yet. there is therefore going to be a to, to is this is say it is not going to create to, to the system. that's absolute. poppycock, people who can't have it for medical reasons can have a medical exemption. but if they just choose not to have it, they are creating their own apartheid. they have a duty, particularly young people now to do their bids for the rest of society. so those who need the box agency should be label law generally. all numbers for
9:04 am
population who have been magically advised, actually she doesn't actually work, they don't stall transmission. i'm just putting that blurry. i suggest you check the well for war. i very suggest you stop spreading misinformation and fake news imposes jazz. you get behind this. there is a very big question over whether young people should have this faxing at all. and the reason for that is actually most young people will get cobit recover, they'll be no long time sequentially. and this is about personal choice and responsibility. i want to do all these 3 things. i could go over and have a represent. the young people have a duty, they should get vaccination as well. no one's talking about coercion. no one's talking about monday, treat jobs, but young people want to have fallen out to life. it's coming anyway. actually, we should be encouraging those people certainly over 40 to make sure they have
9:05 am
a vaccine. i would like younger people to have it as well, but i do believe in personal choice and liberty, we don't believe in compulsory vaccination. but what we do need to do is to get brittany back on track. rich countries are acting in pure greed with regard to cova shots. that's the warning from the world health organization. as it asks vaccine producers to ramp up supplies to developing states. with more contagious delta strain, tightening its grip. many have yet to receive even a single vaccine dose. sorry to say it, but if so the that it is not working. if there is $11.00 word that can explain it, it's great. what we like is, and we have said it many times from w h o, the global leadership do like what astrazeneca is doing as president it started in europe, has production in india. and if all the vaccines could do that, the volume could increase. and despite mass production of the ass presented shot, the vaccines hitting acceptance issues,
9:06 am
you regulators have not given the green light to indian made supplies of the shot. as r t 's peter oliver reports you may think fits all vaccines that have been given the green light by the world health organization and all the major bodies would be treated the same around europe. however, if you will, getting an astrazeneca vaccine, it may be worth while checking where it was manufactured. because if it was one of those that is being produced in india, it may not comb with the benefits you think it does. now, some european states including france, and it's really say they won't accept travelers who have been vaccinated with astrazeneca doses manufactured in india. as it stands. it depends on where you want to go in year or whether or not your indian manufactured vaccine will be accepted for entry here in germany, along with 14 other countries in europe. you're good to go anywhere else, including france, italy, denmark, at a rust of all the human to states. you face being turned away. that despite the job
9:07 am
being backed by the w, a joke, and the vaccination given as part of the un kovacs program, we have to remember that during different demik, our challenges was to persuade the nation's to accept that we are all in this together. those recent policies could negatively impact this campaign. people who are already suspicious of vaccines will become even more suspicious. they could also lose trust and public health messages from the government and be less willing to comply with corporate rules by not accepting vaccinations approved by the world health organization. the un health authority says these nations may well be putting global vaccination programs at risk. such moves are already on the mining confidence in life saving vaccines that have already been shown to be safe and effective effect in uptake of factors and potentially putting billions of people at risk health expert. the struggling to find the logic in some countries,
9:08 am
refusal to accept jobs made in india. you can just cut off countries from the rest of the world indefinitely to exclude some people from certain countries because of the vaccine they received is wholly inconsistent. because we know that these approved vaccines are extremely protective. astrazeneca have said that they've now submitted the paperwork to the european medicines agency for their production facility in india. but when forthcoming and why taking so long as it stands, it falls to individual countries, which vaccines. they will accept the entry in which ones they want, but how people meant to know which ones will be accepted, where and whether the job they got thinking it would bring them a little more freedom will do just that. the difference in the book seen accepted by the member states, we create confusion amongst travelers. confusion leads to decision paralysis, not traveling this summer, which my adversely affect the travel and tourism industry. confusion is also
9:09 am
unpleasant. emotional experience. our publishing messaging should be precise to the point. instead, what we have is a bigger situation where even though the 2 astrazeneca vaccines are exactly the same, the one producing indian was being peter people in for, they should actually not even mention the difference between the vaccines. and i see the evidence that the vaccines producing other countries are inferior, which i doubt exists. the situation would undermine vaccine confidence by appearing to label some shots substandard european union should not create a 2nd rate countries in a 2nd rate travelers, which is really dangerous, psychologically. but also politically another grim discovery in canada. more than $160.00 unmarked graves have been found at a former school for indigenous children and recent months, more than a 1000 such graves have now been uncovered. reminder of
9:10 am
a dark chapter in canada's past when native peoples were forcibly assimilated and according to an addition and indigenous rights activists. this is just the tip of the iceberg. of course, this is devastating. there's a tremendous amount of grief in our communities already. and there's going to be more we have, there's definitely going to be more down, you know, knocking here in the states as well. the residential schools were all over canada and all over the state. so our people are going through a lot right now. it's so heartbreaking, and i feel like i'm coming to a point where i'm just now right now, like i'm just now since a group of unmarked graves were discovered in may, there has been nationwide outrage. catholic churches have been attacked and several even burned to the ground or over on canada day. in early july statues of queen
9:11 am
victoria, queen elizabeth seconds were toppled by crowd chanting. no pride in general. and his prime minister has vowed to fight discrimination. and racism is difficult in moments like peace to fully comprehend the decisions of the past that led to these tragedies and atrocities. but it is necessary to absorb them and understand them to be able to move forward. residential schools were tasked with forcibly assimilating native children into white culture. they were made to abandon their language and their traditions, while many were physically and even sexually abused. more than $4000.00 are known to have died while confined to such institutions and lauraly, williams again says, it's wrong to actually call those places schools. what's been going on right now
9:12 am
when they're calling and residential schools? i really don't like the terms falls because the education wasn't they weren't educating us there. they were when trying to form. i think white people. and i have so many examples of how genocide is still happening to us, to the may. you know, the governments have these policies in place that don't work with us, even with the recommendations from all these inquiry. there's so many wires that have happened, none of them. none of the recommendations are taken seriously or are implemented back to work with us that can help us. and then you know, when the media, the media is slowly coming on board with us. but, you know, like for everything i murder indigenous women and girls, they label less than their media as sex workers, drug addicts,
9:13 am
runaways drunks. you know, so that doesn't help us as well. so there's a lot of things that gets done with the police, not taking reports seriously. and predators know that they could target us. and people in general know that they could target us. and so they're just not, it's still happening. you're coming up shooting, loading, and more than a 1000 arrest south africa, suffering its worst unrest and decades over the jailing of the former president. we'll have those details after a short break. the driven by a dreamer shaped by those in
9:14 am
me dares things we dare to ask me. ah, remember the great 964 bill dr. strange love. you remember the subtitle of the film? it was how i learned to stop worrying and love the bomb. well, i have a 2021 updated subtitle. when it comes to the surveillance state, how i learned to stop worrying and love be in. tell community folks today are not feared their doors the me
9:15 am
ah, welcome back to the program. now, the biden administration's approvals for companies to drill for oil and gas appear to be reaching their highest level since george w bush was in power. that's despite biden's pledge of a green future ortiz more, i guess the big, deeper into how america's president is breaking his squeaky clean claims. joe barton's environmental policy was an exercise in populism. halo did voted by the millions, promising the button environmental plan. his version of the green new deal abroad and clean a world for our children. a gradual cure to our addiction to oral and pollution, half a year in biden's environmental policy has a new nickname. the green swindle, every indication is they have no plans of actually fulfilling their campaign promise. the result of that will be continued in increasing development of fossil
9:16 am
fuels and public glance, which means more climate change. behind the cameras away from the wing and i audiences barton has been stamping out all drilling permits at breakneck speeds. since he took office, the u. s. government has approved more than 2000 all exploration permits on federal and native american lad. by the end of the year, they have projected to approve $6000.00 permits. the last time so many were handed out was in 2008 under george bush. remember what i said about populism? climate change, climate warming, global warming is an extra sense of threat to humanity. we have a moral obligation to do with it. biden is enough of a populace to say what people want to hear about oil and enough of a politician to do nothing about where did people even get the idea? the biden isn't advised. mental champion was him and bama who approved oil,
9:17 am
fracking liquids, which have been leading to camps at the birth defects to serious health problems. and worst of all have be nicknamed the for ever chemicals due to their ability to persist for a very long top persist. also in the human body, organisms are unable to flush out these chemicals entirely. they stay us and build up until we die. the obama biden administration approved the use of toxic chemicals for fracking a decade ago. and always years later, president joe, by this practice is, haven't seemed to change a bit by himself. places during the campaigns hold new fracking on federal lands. meanwhile, this administration is proving new for i can time. it's at the face, similar to trump, with no let up in sight to add scandal to injury the environmental protection agency, which approve all of this as a bit of trouble. c. whistleblowers have come forward saying that they were
9:18 am
pressured, while reviewing new chemicals and toxins to approve the analysis and test with tampered with. they say to make dozens of new chemicals appear safe. environmental protection agency scientists are the last line of defense between harmful, even deadly chemicals and the introduction into us commerce. and this line of defense is struggling to maintain its integrity. we can all applaud biden for organizing the us. they summit with world leaders, phase charming environmental policy and motivational speeches. but when it comes to hard to add to that tough decisions, don't expect biden, to step up. he is a relic of the will age, and one that apparently doesn't want to evolve. biden has no backbone, i don't think he feels he could have a mandate, which is a mandate for the earth mandate for everybody who lives on it,
9:19 am
as opposed to being of the holding to the fossil fuel in oil industry by increase the amount of permits for drilling, he's clearly made a statement that he's worried about how the republic is going to react, as opposed to you know, the catastrophe we're now facing. mean, this isn't an urgent, drastic situation where the urgent action is needed by not taking urgent action. whether by you feel he has to tiptoe around the republican to get the support from the climate deniers. or, you know, more likely it's just the 2 parties of war in wall street that are basically catering to the market and putting this planet in jeopardy. the 1st meanwhile, riots over the jailing of former president jacob zoom. i have shut down south africa's biggest oil refinery plant, which supplies 35 percent of the country's fuel closed due to supply routes being
9:20 am
blocked. the nation's been rocked by looting and has seen the worst on rest and decades. the me so what's going on? you must know what the word apartheid means for south africans. the scars of the past have not yet healed. last week, the country's former president, jacob's whom i was jailed for 15 months after refusing to show up in court for corruption inquiries. it's the 1st time a former head of state has been put in prison in post apartheid south africa. and here's an assessment of the unrest by the current president, serial rem opposed. who answered mr. summa, in 2018 parts of the country,
9:21 am
reeling from days and nights of public violence, destruction of property and looting of the sort of rarely seen before in the history of our democracy. the pass or violence of looting and anarchy leads only to more violence and devastation as well as suffering at least 2 more poverty, more unemployment and more loss of innocent life. this is not who we saw the africans. this is not some pretty gruesome language flashbacks. although comparing zoom was ousting and the prosecution to the times of apartheid probably isn't right. has been succeeded by a member of his own party, the african national congress,
9:22 am
given serial rema posts as background as an anti apartheid activist. you wouldn't really link the changes in power with race and plus, the former leader has been embroiled and corruption control overseas for almost 2 decades now. but the mere fact that jacob zoom out, spent years behind the same bars as nelson mandela, and that he's being jailed is an enormous trigger for the poor and his home province and elsewhere. when you start, if you pose beloved president. so my, then the people on the street and demonstrating the foundation is saying that by the end of the wooden case then and again, it's probably south africa's appalling past that's adding fuel to the fire and intensifying the anger and divisions. speaking of extra fuel to the fire, think of what kind of message this video posted by jacob's uhm his daughter would
9:23 am
send to the st. opponents of the leadership, which took over a video of shots being fired at the face of president rama post. so now unfortunately for the government, there are other more obvious routes of the unrest like low income levels and record high unemployment. almost exactly a 3rd of the country's workforce is unemployed. the number is even higher, reaching 46 percent among young people. many thought these were taking time bombs that have now gone off. you may blame it on the pandemic, but roma poses opponents would say his government has done a bad job. addressing cove it to the president was expected either to call the anger over zoom, a sentence or to reassure south africans over the pandemic response. for now, though, it seems he has failed at both with law enforcement,
9:24 am
fully losing control of some districts. the army has been thrown at the forefront to help the police. the world is watching out for the next few days. protesters have clashed with riot police firing tear gas in lebanon. that's after families of victims of last year's massive port explosion in beirut took to the streets against the interior minister. ah . c ah, the protesters carried coffins to symbolize the dead, claiming the ministers blocking a real probe into the tragedy. the blast killed more than $200.00, an injured thousands, with many blaming officials for allowing the storage of highly explosive materials that support. hundreds of locals who have helped
9:25 am
australian troops in the afghan war are still waiting for life, saving these as, as the taliban targets. those helping the coalition that's according to veterans advocacy group that helps people who worked for foreign forces. we've had requested over 200 interpreters been left behind. we have a moral obligation and i think one of type ability into the future to make sure that we get this process right. and we get those individuals and their families. he to citing, we export according to the group. there are some, there are more than a 1000 people who need australia's help, including security guards, interpreters, and aid contractors. they're said to be in grave danger with the taliban rapidly gaining control over the territory. islamic movement is notorious for torturing and killing those who assisted the us led coalition. televisions rise follows the withdrawal of foreign forces. washington is already pulled out. 90 percent of its
9:26 am
troops and the taliban has moved in to fill the void. jason gaines who served 19 years and the australian military says the government must protect those most at risk. what we're saying now is a rush to the exits. dennis, they were saying a research and tell him in looks like i could be stronger than what they were when we initially went in to us in a stain. and what we have is of a table coating between which is a lively and guides employees. i interpret their forces and at times with these try and combat uniform as many options available to these try and government including, you know, getting those individuals some way site to a 3rd country, assisting them in compiling their applications. and then searching incapability to process size up the patients and, and bring the piece was dry. thanks
9:27 am
a lot for watching. that's all for this hour, but we'll be back with more in just about 30 minutes. so stay tuned. me while i make notes just you know, borders and my number please as emerge. we don't have authority, we go to the back seat, the whole world needs to take action and be ready. people are judge governors crisis. we can do better, we should be better. everyone is contributing each in our own way, but we also know that this crisis will not go on forever. the challenge is to

response has been massive. so many good people are helping us. it makes us feel very proud that we need together in oh, when i was the wrong, when all just don't the rules. yes to see out. the thing becomes the african and engagement. it was the trail. when so many find themselves will depart. we choose to look for common ground the, the, the,
9:29 am
with the time action retents. and you're watching a very special edition of going underground conversation with one of the greatest filmmakers of all time, all of us stone, his platoon. born on the 4th of july, snowden, and wall street educated generations, his gun breaking work, j. f. k. 1030. this year, and stone is returning to the subject with a follow up documentary, j. f k. revisited through the looking glass. currently premiering at the cabin film festival, and academy award winning all of a stone joins me now from the festival. thanks so much oliver for coming on. obviously, we have a us president in the white house backing forces against the cuban government plaza, shown before we head onto the evidence which,
9:30 am
which we wouldn't have without j. f k. the movie in the new documentary, what is the relevance in case people are going always not talking about kennedy again, the relevant to joe biden, who was bombing, syria, and iraq. only the past few weeks was the relevant to the current whitehouse of this documentary. well, i, again, i think that the relevant is the main point we were trying to make in the documentary was that john kennedy was a warrior for peace in all forms. and among the many things he was doing when he was killed was reaching out to cuba to and this embargo to make a detox with gastro. it looked good. and he was also at the same time over making an overarching deal with khrushchev of the soviet union. they had, they signed the nuclear test ban treaty together, which is an amazing document. the 1st time the soviets, in the u. s. signed the treaty of this nature and the cold war was, was the radically.
