that's where america is. that is the disturbing revelation is bible gary has health ministers. he admits cobra vaccination failures. of course, the country almost 10000 lives as russia athletes that take your vix key, not seeing go left with the media or athlete. increasingly seeing read as a question, the teams right to be that the us comes under attack in the latest round of violence in grand us headquarters. they're attacked by what are being called anti government elements. with one security guard confirms that ah,

i know, live from moscow, thanks, is joining us tonight. national and daniel hawkins with beautiful sunrise open for the program. that will get is health minister, has admitted the multiple failures in tackling cobit in the country. us had disastrous consequences in a startling revelation. you said nearly 10000 lives could have been saved if the notation campaign had been organized properly. bulgaria is sacrificing the older generation. we immunized mainly young and active people for 5 months and the most vulnerable groups were abandoned for out of 5 cover debts and bulgaria have been among the elderly. the government claims 10000 lives could have been saved, had the previous administration acted a bit differently. but how exactly? well, 1st off by not prioritizing the cheaper astrazeneca vaccine,

the last government decided not to order any of the other 3 jobs approved by the you. and as a result, when oxford astrazeneca experienced serious delays and shipments bulgaria became one of the least vaccinated in countries at the time even lagging behind other stragglers like romanian lafayette all the while continuing to experience a surge in cases. and that's, but the other issue that caused unnecessary death was that the vaccines that the country did get for some reason didn't 1st go to the people who actually needed them the most. we did not give parity to people over 60 and people with serious illnesses that were placed in the false category after social workers, employees in mnc farms and others at this point. but gary remains one of the least vaccinated countries in europe with less than 20 percent of the population having received at least one dose. the new government is desperately trying to remedy the

situation. but it seems, there are still a lot of hurdles for them to overcome. vaccine skepticism is still high among bulgarians, especially after reports of astrazeneca being linked to rare health complications. the country's poor health infrastructure is also hampering efforts to get vaccines to the population effectively. and the threat of a new wave of infections, courtesy of the delta variance of the corona virus, now looms very large over the country, which in response has extended its coven emergency status until the end of august. we spoke earlier, it was seen a clinical lecturer case of us you have access to. it has more could have been done by the previous bulgarian government. it's a big mistake. we all know with infectious disease control and management, and we've got to protect the people who are most honorable from getting infected. and these are the wonderful people on the elderly, which are as much, much higher risk of having

a severe illness and dying if they are not fully protected. we are the immunizations. the government itself has been reluctant to immunize and protect its own population. therefore, i feel very skeptical about the government being keen to protect its own people by giving vaccines. it is important for the politicians to be led by the scientists, their own scientists and the world scientists rather than be led by finances and politics with regard to the best thing they can do for their population. in a while in germany where there has been more successful vaccine roll out. the question now is whether that should mean more freedom for those immuno politicians a deeply divided on the matter. your correspondence has been looking at how the issue is splitting society. now the more than half of the german population have been fully vaccinated against coven. 19 the debate amongst politicians has moved on

to whether that vaccination should entitle people to move freedoms. the presidents of the bond, the stag, things that should, i do not see any constitutional issues for differentiating between those who have been tested on the one hand and those who have recovered or been vaccinated on the other. since the risk of vaccination is extremely low, according to current data, not everyone is convinced of the constitutional fairness of such a device that moves. so the german justice minister doesn't think it's right to split society down the lines of the vaccine and the wax not. we should stick to the principle that those who have been vaccinated recovered or have a negative covered test should retain all their freedoms. the justice minister is against a mandatory vaccination, but those believe that everybody who can get a job should get one. the result was in german politics who think that the government and politicians should have no sake and who gets the vaccination at all . it's not the role of the state to eliminate the risks to live. this encroachment

would be on constitutional and would clearly contradict defined a mental idea of freedom and our basic law. those who support freedom passes. say, people that have have the job shouldn't be held back by those that haven't. but they still a healthy sized opposition against forcing anyone to take a vaccination walk in the state imposed on the individual. my red line is my body by decided on that last that the last word is up to me. the state must not exceed that with an election just 8 weeks away. and some potentially very tricky coalition talks on the horizon. rights for the vaccinated could well end up being a stumbling block to the formation of the next government patrol of her all tea in cologne. germany, russian athletics are continuing their impressive model hall at the tokyo games, recent double figures in gold medals this friday. it means the russian olympic committee team now the 4th of the table. however, you'd be hard pressed to find many saluting their success. my colleague, neal,

discuss a story with our to use us. well, the olympics should be a huge celebration and ne, asking all discipline from all over the world, coming together at one event showcasing the skills. unfortunately, for russian athletes competing out this year's turkey games, that just hasn't been the case, they might be scooping up towards the russian. then the committee will already see . does carney rank stud and total mental, but the atmosphere has been so hostile? it's been filled with suspicion, criticism, and very little good sportsmanship, both from the global media and of course from photo competitive. for example, us when ryan murphy, who lost to a russian, took a veiled flight by saying that he probably, that it probably wasn't a teen race. a comment that he later tracked on. but by that a british swim, i had also come out and couldn't help. may, could dig about state sponsor, do you pick out the russian who beat them? he said, my bold metal is the combination of nothing but life from dedication yesterday

doubles. it's just new sport. i have always stood for nothing but clean competition . i have always been tested and i always fill out my documents. i've devoted my entire life to the sport and i would never be able to forgive myself if i use some doping. so i don't even know how to react to this mobile. now, while both those comments might not seem directed to any one particular or country, others very openly was quite frankly, the epitome of soul lose one us row, for example, said that russians shouldn't even be the seen, the crew who shouldn't even be here. walk away with the silver is a nasty feeling really disappointing overall, and i feel for the other f as in the, a final. now come, i might be furious that she's not taking her, not when that she was banking on her belief that russians don't have a right to be there. of course just doesn't reflect reality how much she wants it to. the truth is, russian athletes are allowed to compete, but on such strict conditions as a result of an ongoing reduced number of historic p clean russian athletes are

allowed to compete as mutual meaning that they've been stripped of them. the flag out, of course the country's name hadn't receive and not russia. but despite this, despite that commitment to the very rules that the international impact committee has set up. and despite the fact that they are the most tested, one of the most tested delegations that they are still daily faced with this wave of bitterness and malice. yeah, new and fair comments, direct or otherwise, as you're saying, indirectly the last number of there, including the swimmers. what's the media? how to say? well, unfortunately, the hostility towards the r a c team is really tenfold in western media. some of the headlines are actually pretty shocking. many of them fairly can disguise that discuss the russians, have been allowed to learn that the actually winning metals, beautiful music. and although window dressing such as calling itself the russian limbic committee to suggest an appearance of neutrality cannot mask the stench of

corruption and appeasement. the eye sees entire plan completely backfired. it certainly didn't keep the russians out, and it certainly didn't shame russia were putting, has used the band to pump up nationalistic pride. and that was us, gymnast simone biles had to pull out the media with disappointment, worried about, well, that's paid the way for the russians, which is exactly of course what happened as they deserved the one. we're hoping that the media will kind of take a step back and just objectively report on the ongoing offence on the trying on the losses of those a limb can. well, unfortunately have been disappointed. i suggest there's a little bit of back story to this as well, right. what of course, i think most people are why, but this is all the fall out from the uncovering of thought and that you do p scheme amongst fresh nothing's back in 2014 washer. was found before we had so many major international sporting events about today to reduce to 2 years. no, russian officials did come out. they admitted mistakes had been made in the antidote program, but they also did claim that the band was politically motivated. but the truth is,

is that is the past, have been repercussions for that. what's happening now in tokyo was essentially the demon is ation of hundreds of proven clean athletes who are playing by the rules down to a team who are also getting tested repeatedly in the last number of winter and summer. exactly. they are, they are the 3rd, have to team off on us and china. so it's real beautification by those athletes by the media and not have to say really as a credit to those are the athletes that despite all of this that they've managed to block out all that noise and still keep mounting when a podium turn this, i'm coming to andre walker says, russian athletes deserve a break. individual athletes got nothing to do with it. nobody's ever suggested that these athletes have been trying to represent the contrary. russia is not the most, a butcher is not the enemy. and certainly, even if the enemy, the idea that we would punish individual police is absolutely wrong. these isolates,

remember, have done what you've asked them today. they were taught all of their lives and they walked into that stadium as r o c, which is brochure olympic committee rather than representing their own country that was embarrassing and humiliating to them. but they did it on the last, gave them a bright. and it will only just affordable until your games and around a week's time before it opens again on the power to fix and team receive final preparations. one on the way journalist and partly 3 ignite's off went along to get a taste of one of the toughest. this disciplines para talk wonder hi everyone. me watching a diary about the preparations for the upcoming paralympics in tokyo, which will kick off students. and today we're at the pero minova sports center. he used to train people without any disability, but now you have a whole army of power athletes. what's that like? that's very cool. ah

ah ah, i read about you why was literally crying. it's something unimaginable. your mother left you when you were born and later your adopted right? yes. i was in the 5th grade when i was bullied to go with my backpack. i said to her, what are you doing? i'll tell my mother. and she replied, you do have a real mum, you are adopted. it was painful to hear that. but then i made up my mind and decided to be strong. there was only one, pardon and pick combat sport. many people have no concepts of how disabled people can fight, but they can do it here. they fight, but are protected as much as possible. they are people who got enormous fortitude. they are people who have nothing to lose. they still would find a job, they struggle their entire life. that's why they throw themselves in sports. people

normally retire from taekwondo at the age of 30, but disabled people sometimes go on until they're 40. i don't think the top harlem pins are disabled because they could easily take on any one. the have a mouth guard and helmet with a face show. we also have hand and growing protection, as well as an electronic chest protector, leg pads, and electronic footwear. for the tell us more about the electronics, what do they do? is it like in fencing where it lights up? when someone hits you? yes, we have an electronic chest protect the sense of the need, as well as then it's 20 socks with 12 senses. you get points if you hit the sensor, so you can receive even more points. if yolanda spinning kick, i was the when a determined by the number of points. so the number of points is equal to the

number of blows, the more points you get, the higher your place. yes, each tried last 2 minutes. not 3 rounds with one minute break. taekwondo is the rapid port. it's not only about fighting, it's about. thank you. everyone has reached such a high level to get to the lympics that you can't just fight. you have to think about what your opponent is doing. so it's a bit like playing chess. yes, you should be quicker than your opponent. don't. she's blows. still to come. any studies of american universities appeared to be more interested in ensuring diversity and inclusion in teaching history. ah ah, with

ah ah, i use in the wake of the 2nd high level meeting, where does the fraught china us relationship stand? the 1st meeting in anchorage alaska was an embarrassing failure for secretary of state, blinking at the 2nd meeting with chinese, presented the americans with a set of demands. it would seem to stage a set for real negotiations and not just the at

the welcome back united nation. so it's headquarters in western. i've got to phone. i've been attacked with roka propelled grenades and gunfire. one, god is confirmed, killed and several others injured. no, un personnel have been hurt, they are any of the compounds seen fighting between government forces and the about the q attack as though are so far being described only as anti government elements . events already said it will hold those responsible account. this attack against the united nations is deplorable, and we condemn it in the strongest terms. our 1st thoughts are with the family of the officers slain, and we wish a speedy recovery to those injured. this comes to south can force is minus the rest of that control of the key northern district from the taliban. the retreating medicines left behind a trail of deliberate destruction. this flight, this afghan forces victory,

the taliban has been largely ascended the terrace groups taken more territory in the last 2 months than in the last 2 decades. and now as a dominant presence in the north, northeast, and central provinces, it's closing in on key cities, including condos, and cannot go. can all the catalysts should be a riser. you told us to spot the rapid gains of the taliban. there is silver lining to the us to withdraw. the situation is i want to sound has been really chaotic for the last 20 to the american on the pretext of trying to get rid of the government, the regime in cowboy, at that time because dominated by the dollar bond. but what you've got to really understand is that american interference and is good that the americans that now lee, meaning one is done all together by the end of september. and really let

be a funny besides, for them said was their faith and outcome should be. but certainly the americans are there and also my own government. the british have continuously supported at the us. they should leave. and that's what the taliban have been demanding for the last 20 years. and i hope that really come to an end. as i said, as mr. biden, this problem is that all true when leave are one is done by the end of september discrimination and sacking. these are what the send through a slew of new lawsuit from united states taking a so called critical race theory. the subject looks at society from the perspective of systematic racism, or systemic racism and its teaching in schools has been a matter of heated debate. the head of the legal for representing the plaintiff's praise what he calls bravery. our clients are bravely confronting critical race theory, inspired bullying,

indoctrination and retaliation which is not training or persuasion into all the cases. the compliance say they lost their jobs for opposing critical right theory. in a 3rd rule by parents, it's argue that alternative viewpoints, so we excluded from schools. but while racial studies in schools proving divisive in higher education inclusive, it seems to be winning the day. and you study of $65.00 universities found that on average they had more staff dedicated to ensuring equity and diversity than history . professors ortiz caleb open. explain. we have a new study conducted by the heritage foundation, a conservative think tank that talks about the prevalence of diversity, equality and inclusion staff or d, e staff on american universities and basically shows that there are more d i staff than there are history professors at this point most universities have roughly 45 d staffers. that's

a 4 times as many then disabilities staffers who deal and did accommodating the needs of students who might have disabilities. and that's only 2 thirds as many history professors on, on the faculty and the university of louisville. kentucky got 50 d, e staffers and only 17 history folks. this is what the heritage foundation said about their finding. this research suggests that large diversity, equity, and inclusion bureaucracies appeared to make legal positive contribution to campus climate. rather than being an effective tool for welcoming students from different backgrounds, diversity, equity inclusion personnel may be better understood and a signal of adherence to ideological political and activist goals. that is, comes at the same time as there is big controversy in the united states surrounding the teaching of critical race theory, which views us history through the lens of systemic racism. 8 states across the united states, a band, the teaching of critical race theory. however, a number of institutions use it not only in colleges,

but also in the high schools. and it seems like liberals are more open to this kind of teaching. whereas conservatives are vehemently opposed to it. this controversy has led to a lot of viral videos from parents complaining at school board meetings. some lawsuits, some claims that people were fired for opposing the teaching of critical race theory. it's a very intense controversy with conservatives on one side liberals on the other, and increasing cultural and political divide in the united states. and you report that is that a us back collective of musicians and artists is sees of descent in cuba, an effort to destabilize its government. the group in question is called, the sun is severe and movement. it comprised the cuban rappers, rock musicians, artists, and journalists. the u. s. is already already literally spent millions of dollars on lumps again, swanky was marginalized, the young. we weren't members of spoken out in support of american sanctions. former us president donald trump and even military intervention in cuba. we spoke

earlier to the author of the investigation editor in chief of the grey zone, max rubenthal. what amazed me aside from the fact that the wall street journal in rolling stone have credited this group of artists and performers with providing in their words, the catalyst for the day of protests we saw in cuba. was that the national endowment for democracy in arm of the u. s. government. that bank role is regime change operations abroad actually laid out an explicit strategy in 2009 to recognize marginalized and di, socialized youth. and that very same year, usa id, another arm of the u. s. government, which is an intelligence front in many cases, began approaching to anti government hip hop wrappers in cuba. promoting them and even creating social media platforms to promote their anti government lyrics. and

this is a program that has continued today and culminated with the rise of the senate seizure movement and this anthem pottery evita, which has become the slogan of these anti government anti communist cuban protests . on friday, the us government agency close its 2000000 funding program to new applicants. the goal of the project was spring about social change in cuba and support. young people, women, l, g, b, t groups, artists, and individuals of afro cuban senate. and while the u. s. finances, coastal programs in cuba, they all had remains under severe economic sanctions. he was been under us embargo for more than half a century since $962.00. in fact, people estimate so that key was he can all make losses from that around $50000000000.00. that was also the biggest obstacle to buying medicine and equipment. during the pandemic this year, the un general assembly voted overwhelmingly against the embargo saying it voted human rights. on friday, the u. s. a pose additional sanctions against cuba,

national police, including partial sanctions targeting its chief. now this month, cuba largest protests in decades. people were demanding more freedom, a better response to the pandemic that he was president accused washington of. and so i think the mass demonstration us as it was a stable country. that's rubenthal again, claims the americans a meddling more than ever in cuban affairs. well, there's nothing there. there's nothing surprising about this except the, the intense interest in the you among the u. s. intelligence front, like usa id now run by samantha power in weapon ising. a group that will soon become the demographic majority in cuba, which has suffered enormously under the blockade, and that's afro cubans. and they spell this out explicitly in their documents. and that's why hip hop is becoming

a vehicle that the u. s. likes to use it budgeted $110000.00 for a hip hop, n g o in columbia to go and train hip hop artists in cuba to become quote unquote democratic leaders. and so what we see is the u. s. actually exploiting and trying to create racial divisions in cuban society. in fact, doing what many liberals and democrats in the united states accused russia of doing with no evidence with black lives matter. that's actually the operational program in cuba right now. in order to paint this state that has been racially progressive, which is given asylum to black, american dissidence, which fought apartheid south africa to paint it as racially regressive, and even structurally racist up next cross talking just a few i'm, it's time to see you and i will return in half an hour with the latest join us again that the

look forward to talking to you all that technology should work for people. a robot must obey the orders given it by human beings, except when the shorter the conflict with the 1st law show your identification. we should be very careful about artificial intelligence. the point obviously is to great truck rather than fear take on various jobs with the artificial intelligence real summoning the theme and a robot must protect his phone existence with exist imac kaiser was more of my guide to financial survival. this is a hedge fund, is a device used by professional value ags to earn money. that's right. these hedge

funds are completely not accountable, and we're just adding more more to them. totally, the stabilize the global economy. you need to protect yourself and get informed was because we were oh right now, there are 2000000000 people who are overweight or obese. is profitable to sell food that is fatty and sugary and faulty and addicted. not at the individual level. it's not individual willpower. and if we go on believing that will never change as obesity epidemic, that industry has been influencing very deeply. the medical and scientific establishment, ah, what's driving the? it's corporate, me ah,

with i hello and welcome to cross talk where all things considered. i'm peter lavelle in the wake of the 2nd high level meeting. where does the front china us relationship stand? the 1st meeting in anchorage alaska was an embarrassing failure for secretary of state blinking at the 2nd meeting. the chinese presented the americans with a set of demand. it would seem the stage a set for real negotiations and not just the actrix, the cross talking china us relations. i'm joined by my guess. tom watkins and northville. he is president and c, e o of t d, w, and associates, a global business and educational consulting firm in knoxville. we have sarah shue

. she is a visiting scholar at to down university, and in beijing we have, i know our 10, he is a political and economic affairs commentator or across type roles in effect. that means you can jump in anytime you want. and i always appreciate, let's go to, i know, are in beijing right before the 2nd summit or earlier this week. chinese media was expressing that the us is looking for or creating imaginary enemy out of china. and it was actually said during the high level meeting, what does that mean, imaginary enemy, could you explain that to our audience? well, china, that feels very beset, i mean, on almost a daily basis. this is kind of drum b to china's this that, and the other thing, there's very little proof, lots of allegations. so, i mean, china has, sees this as a situation where trying the u. s. is trying to play king of the hill. in essence, you know, try to.
