and it candida, we have first nations, like all over canada and spread out.e have 634 first nations representing a significant number of nations. these were primarily indian residential schools, although others were impacted. the is a very, very, very small number of individual chiefs or regional chiefs or so-called dignitaries or members of native organizations, along with some survivors, that are meeting the pope and/or organizing it. the vast majority had no say in it. in fact, the national chief of the assembly of first nations has already said in the media that women were not involved in this -- and she was never permitted to be involved in this. you can imagine just how upsetting it is for a large number of people who don't have a say, who don't get to say, here's what you need to be saying, here's what you need to be doing. which leaves this empty apology. juan: you mentioned, pam, the catholic church was responsible for about half of these schools. what about the other christian churches? what has been the response to the unfolding revelation over the

bolivia has any agreement with the canadian-based pharmaceutical company to produce vaccines and candidathe compulsory licensing required to be able to do this. we see countries dragging their feet when we have in front of us practical solutions that could result -- resolve this horrible and equity we are seeing globally. amy: i want to also go to achal prabhala, speaking to us from india. so tragically hard-hit during this pandemic. me might say criminally hard-hit. you begin your piece in the atlantic that you co-authored with chelsea clinton by pointing out developing countries now account for the vast majority of daily global covid deaths. 85% of the vaccines are going to the richest countries. .3% to the poor countries. scores of untries, almost 100 have not seen a vaccine. that death toll, do you attribute it entirely to vaccinations and the lack of them? grandma what is happening -- >> what has been happening since may is the pandemic has mutated. what was once a global calamity is now large a developing country problem. there are many ways of measuring the effect of the pandemic.

candida has apologized for his torture, given him a substantial recovery in canadian dollars, which isbarrassment anymore. [laughter] they said he was an innocent man, but he remains on the u.s. terror list. we have slowed but not yet stopped the remarkable grab for authoritarian power. i also do not lose hope because i think about the early days of guantanamo. at first, we were few. but now, we are many. at first, when ccr began, we were the lonely warriors, taking on the bush administration at guantanamo. now, we -- just on guantanamo alone -- or over 600 lawyers, most for major firms of every political stripe. [applause] these lawyers have an understanding of what is at stake. liberty itself. this struggle, this struggle will be seen as one of the great chapters in a legal and political history of the united states. [applause] today, war, torture, disappearances, murder surround us like plagues. most in this country go on their way oblivious. some do not want to know, like ostriches. some want to justify it all. some want to make compromises. but be warned, we are at a tipping point

runoff, what -- will the progressive movement be able to come together again if one of the progressi candidas the two? >> i think, yes, we will. we choose our candidate, the person we think is the best person to mov a progressive agenda at any given moment in time and then we do with the political reality with the hands we are dealt. none of us are going to vote and feel like our job is done. whoever is elecd, we will have to fight to hold them accountable and push them from all sides. i think the movement will come together in a runoff for the most progressive candidate. paul vallas is our worst nightmare. the fact desantis has come has a fire under some people who may have been less excited about voting and the cycle, although i think there is a lot of motivation a a lot of excitement, because i think he really shows us the authoritarian future and neofascist future. he is reminding us of the worst case scenario desantis -- of course, he is aligned with folks who are aligned with paul vaas. i think we take that threat seriously. i want to go back to the question of police and crime. we saw

. >> yes, candida did restore its funding, yes.meen: if you could speak about the fact israel has now set it will no longer approve any unrwa food convoys to the north, what are the implications of that? huge. in the last few days alone, we received five denials to our request to move food from the south of the gaza strip in rafah to the north. the commercial general of unrwa was denied access to gaza two weeks ago despite having followed these oral procedures -- usual procedures as for him and his delegations to go into gaza. what we are truly seeing is the space around unrwa in gaza is shrinking and are ability to adequately continue saving lives is being obstructed. we are talking about food distribution to an entire population that is food insecure. that means people are hungry. half of that population no longer have access to any food. there's nothing in there patriot. 75% or more of the population is displaced. most of the people are now in rafah, a sixfold increase in the population. many of these people are in unrwa shelter

and i don'n't think there's a question abobout which candidae would allow that process to unfold. i think that we're going to have to translate some of the passion that has characterized these e demonstrations into work within the electoral arena, recognizing g that the electoral arena is not the best place e for the expresession of radical l polit. but if we want to continue this work, we certainly need a person in office who will be more amenable toto our m mass pressusure. and to me, that is the only thing that someone like a joe biden represents. but we have to persuade people to go out and vote to guarantee that the current occupant of the white house is forever oustete. amy: the legendary scholar and activist angela davis. if you'd like to see our full interview, go to democracy now.org. that does it for ourur show. dedemocracy now! is produced with renee feltztz, mike burke, deena a guzder, libby raineye, nermeeeen shaikh, mamaria tarac, cacarla wills, tami wororonof, charina a nadura, , sam alcof, tey marie astudillo, john hamililton, robby karran, hany massoud and adriano
