3:13 am
native community said that's just the tip of the iceberg. the residential school system has been blamed for destroying the lives of many indigenous families. i didn't even talk about the abuse in residential schools to my children, many of our children who ran away during the winter and froze to death on their way home. and i and the black robes start lying about the children. oh yeah, they're doing fine here. in the meantime, they were missing and no one had searched for them. we had to steal much of our food in order to ship 5, and that's only part of our sure bible in red dan, shell. schools want you to imagine you have a 6 year old daughter that's been taken away from you has to go into an environment that shows no love. no hugs,

abuse. for more than a century, 150000 were put through the system more than 4000 deaths were recorded in 2015. the truth and reconciliation commission officially recognized the policy as cultural genocide and the scandal has further grown this year with the 1st discovery of unmarked graves. oh, i i the discovery of the graves has led to a rage across the country,
3:16 am
canada day or earlier this month, statues of queen victoria and queen elizabeth the 2nd were toppled by crowds chanting. no pride in genocide. some indigenous groups called for the annual celebration to be cancelled entirely. but most hunger has been targeted at those who run the schools, leading to christian churches being attacked with several burnt to the ground. the prime minister has said the country must learn from the mistakes of the past. is difficult in moments like these 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. but just in trudeau, his words aren't enough for many in the community who are demanding an apology from
3:17 am
the pope. they hold the catholic church responsible for much of what happened and believe it as a case to answer people are talking about wanting an apology from the pope. why do we have to force that? why, why hadn't gotten pulled is not apologizing. i feel like the people who i get up to the polls are feeling the same way. genocide is still happening to us to the may you know, the governments how these policy plays that don't work with us. when police do mental health checks with our people, they either die or they're thrown into the institutions where pills are thrown down . and if there's any children involved, they're automatically thrown into into the child welfare system. so there's a lot of things we get done with the boys not taking reports seriously. and

predators know that they could target. and people in general know that they could target a still ahead seeing read over job biden's, bringing promises environmentalists or open arms after it's revealed approvals for oil and gas. grilling in the u. s. or a 3rd highest level of 3 years. despite the president's repeated declarations, that fossil fuels must be given the join me every 1st day on the alex summon, show, and i'll be speaking to guess in the world, the politics sport, business. i'm show business. i'll see you then in the

a top beer company which suggest cobra vaccination is the only way to get life back to normal. although there's been a low optic of shots by those under 30 politicians, have warned heineken commercial since the wrong message. the heineken really ought to consider whether discriminating and loyal customers who may be cannot be vaccinated for medical or other reasons. there were 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 or not making recommendations and other countries given their levels of vaccine hesitancy, will be, comes after a british minister is reportedly drew our plans from mulder tree vaccine, passports to enter pubs and restaurants from the autumn. despite was seen as
3:21 am
a hugely successful inoculation program with 35000000 people fully vaccinated in the u. k. but britain is far from the only country where prove seen pressures in full swing. some of a part i think on to far well, that's on the trillion, which has been criticized for employing scare tactics and for using inductor from an age group. not yet eligible for the vaccine. on top of that, the pace of inoculation the country slow in part due to dose shortage is something that critics a mix. these campaigns even less appropriate. we put the issue up for debate. real worry for me about this is you're going to create a to, to society. that will be those people who com to have a vaccine for medical reasons or maybe for their own reasons,
3:22 am
or maybe because they younger and they haven't had that practicing invite yet. there is therefore going to be a to, to, is this, this 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 creating their own apartheid. they have a duty, particularly young people now to do the bits for the rest of society. for those who need the backseat. and so you should be label law generally, the whole numbers are population have been cleared bodies of actually seen, but she doesn't actually work. they don't stall transmission. i'm just passing that i suggest you check the wells roll bar war. i'm very suggest you stop spreading misinformation and face new jersey. you get behind this. there
3:23 am
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 that recover. they'll be no long term sequentially, and this is about personal choice and responsibility. i want to do all these 3 things. i could go on. have a wrap around, the young people have a juicy, they should get vaccination as well. no one's talking about coalition. no one's talking about monday tree jobs, but if you young people want to have a full in active life. it's coming anyway. actually, we should be encouraging those people. certainly, i've a 40 to make sure they have a vaccine. i would like younger people to have it as well, but i do believe in personal choice in liberty. we don't believe in compulsory vaccination, but what we do need to do is to get brittany back on track. thousands of protesters have been marching through the french of non venting there under a president microns health passports, slums, police used to go to rico the crowds. a similar demonstration was also held in part

of this week. for instance, leaders said coban, passports wouldn't be mandatory to access leisure facilities and cultural events, starting from the middle of next week. fighting between the telephone enough gallon security forces over the last week has left scores dead and injured. the scan interior ministry said there were $222.00 attacks against local security forces. in the past 7 days, the telephone has been reasserting itself considerably in the wake of the continuing hollow of western forces. it's no said to be back in control of 85 percent of the country club or update in east jerusalem on saturday after is really security forces moved in to pick up a sit in demonstration. dozens of palestinians been protesting. what they say is the illegal occupation of their lungs tear gas was used again, the cries,

the president biden has for some time been pledging a greener future for american. so then it begs the question, why are approvals for companies to drill for oil and gas reaching their highest level since george w bush was in power or senior corresponding morale? because he has been asking himself the same question. joe barton's environmental policy was an exercise in populism. he loaded voters 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
3:26 am
fuels and public glance, which means more climate change. behind the cameras away from the wing and i'm audiences barton has been stamping out oil 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 that biden isn't advised? mental champion was him and bama who approved oil, fracking liquids,
3:27 am
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 all these years later, president joe, by this practice is haven't seemed to change a bit by himself pleasant during the campaigns, a whole new fracking on federal lands. meanwhile, this administration is proving new frack and permits at the face, similar to trump, with no let up in sight, to add capital 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
3:28 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 is 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's a relic of the will age, and one that apparently doesn't want to evolve. binding has no backbone, i don't think he feels he could have a mandate, which is a mandate for the earth mandate for everybody's lives on it. as opposed to being
3:29 am
beholden to the fossil fuel, an 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 the catastrophe. we're now facing me. this is an urgent, drastic situation where the urgent action is needed by not taking urgent action. whether by 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. he was a childhood friend of napoleon, he died from a cannonball wound in russia in 1812, and he was buried in a seemingly unknown spot for 2 centuries. the astonishing story of the one legged general good done is to let me,
