JUDY: GOOD EVENING. I'M JUDY WOODRUFF. ON THE "NEWSHOUR" TONIGHT. AT THE EXTREME -- A MASSIVE FIRE FORCES THOUSANDS TO EVACUATE IN CALIFORNIA AS MILLIONS OF AMERICANS ENDURE A BRUTAL HEAT WAVE. THEN. RAPID SPREAD -- EPIDEMIOLOGISTS WARN THE UNITED STATES IS AT A CRITICAL MOMENT TO COUNTERACT AND CONTAIN THE HIGHLY CONTAGIOUS MONKEYPOX VIRUS. AND. TIPPING POINT -- THE THWAITES GLACIER SHOWS FURTHER SIGNS OF POTENTIALLY BREAKING OFF ANTARCTICA THREATENING SUBSTANTIAL SEA-LEVEL RISE. >> THIS IS PERHAPS THE MOST IMPORTANT GLACIER IN THE WORLD IN TERMS OF ITS POTENTIAL IMPACT THIS CENTURY.

JUDY: FIREFIGHTERS ARE BATTLING A DEVASTATING FOREST FIRE NEAR YOSEMITE NATIONAL PARK IN CALIFORNIA, NOW IN ITS THIRD DAY. IT'S TURNED INTO ONE OF THE STATE'S LARGEST FIRES THIS YEAR AND FORCED THOUSANDS FROM THEIR HOMES -- ALL AS A HEAT WAVE IS STILL BAKING MAJOR PARTS OF THE

COUNTRY. NICOLE ELLIS BEGINS OUR COVERAGE WITH THIS REPORT. NICOLE: IN THE FOOTHILLS OF THE SIERRA NEVADA, THE SPRAWLING OAK FIRE CONTINUES TO RAPIDLY SPREAD ACROSS CENTRAL CALIFORNIA. THE BLAZE ERUPTED FRIDAY AND HAS NOW CONSUMED MORE THAN 16,000 ACRES. THAT IS MORE THAN HALF THE SIZE OF BOSTON. PLANES POURED RETARDANT ON THE FIRE FROM ABOVWHILE FIREFIGHTERS BATTLED THE INFERNO ON THE GROUND. TODAY, CRUZ ANNOUNCED THAT THEY HAD CONTAINED 10% OF THE FIRE. THEY SAY IT'S NOW LESS EXTREME THAN ON PREVIOUS DAYS. BUT THE DESTRUCTION HAS LEFT THOUSANDS FLEEING THEIR HOMES, TAKING WITH THEM WHATEVER THEY COULD. >> SO WE GOT THE CALL THAT WE HAD TO EVACUATE AND THE FIRE WAS COMING QUICKLY. I HAVE TWO CHILDREN. >> PEOPLE WERE SCRAMBLING TO GET THEIR STUFF TOGETHER. I DON'T KNOW. IT'S PRETTY DIFFICULT. NICOLE: THIS FAST-MOVING FIRE IS GAINING GROUND TO THE WEST OF YOSEMITE NATIONAL PARK.

IT BEGAN WITHIN HALF A MILE OF MARIPOSA PINES, ABOUT 100 MILES EAST OF SAN FRANCISCO. IT IS CAUSED SMOKE TO CREEP ACROSS MUCH OF THE SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY AND PROMPTED FEARS OF AIR POLLUTION ACROSS THE STATE. SOME HAVE EXPRESSED FRUSTRATION WITH PEOPLE WHO DECIDED TO STAY BEHIND DESPITE BEING TOLD TO EVACUATE. >> WHEN THEY TELL YOU TO LEAVE, LEAVE. STUBBORNNESS IS THE WORST THING AND IF IT DOESN'T KILL YOU, IT'S GOING TO KILL SOMEBODY ELSE. NICOLE: THE CAUSE OF THE OAK FIRE IS STILL UNDER INVESTIGATION. BUT A MIXTURE OF EXTENDED DROUGHTS, OVERGROWN VEGETATION AND BAKING HEAT WAVES FUELED BY CLIMATE CHANGE HAVE INCREASED THE LIKELIHOOD OF WILDFIRES. THIS ONE CAME AS THE U.S. SWELTERED THROUGH A WEEKEND HEATWAVE. ACROSS THE EAST COAST, KIDS PLAYED IN FOUNTAINS AND FAMILIES TRIED TO DODGE THE CONCRETE HEAT. BUT AS TEMPERATURES COOL ON THE EAST, STIFLING NEW HEATWAVES ARE EXPECTED TO ENVELOPE THE SOUTH AND THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST. THE FIRST HALF OF THE YEAR HAS ALREADY BEEN PUNISHING.

THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT HAS ESTIMATED WEATHER AND CLIMATE DISASTERS HAVE COST AT LEAST $9 BILLION IN DAMAGE SO FAR. FOR THE PBS NEWSHOUR, I'M NICOLE ELLIS. JUDY: LET'S HEAR MORE ABOUT THE SITUATION IN CALIFORNIA FROM SOMEONE WHO'S LONG LIVED IN THE COMMUNITY THERE. JOHN YANG HAS THAT. >> JUDY, THE EXPLOSIVE SPREAD OF THE OAK FIRE SUGGESTS ANOTHER BAD WILDFIRE SEASON AHEAD IN CALIFORNIA. BETH PRATT IS THE CALIFORNIA REGIONAL EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF THE NATIONAL WILDLIFE FEDERATION AND SHE LIVES IN MID PINES, CALIFORNIA, WHICH IS ONLY ABOUT TWO MILES FROM THE WESTERN EDGE OF THE FIRE. THANKS FOR BEING WITH US. I KNOW YOU'RE UNDER SORT OF PRE-EVACUATION ORDERS. WHAT IS THE SITUATION NOW AS YOU LOOK ACROSS THE HORIZON? WHAT DO YOU SEE? WHAT IS IT LIKE? >> YOU KNOW, FRANKLY, AS SOMEBODY WHO'S BEEN UP HERE 25 YEARS AND BEEN THROUGH PROBABLY OVER 20 FIRES, HAD TO EVACUATE

THREE TIMES, IT IS TERRIFYING. THIS IS THE MOST SCARY FIRE I'VE EVER SEEN. IT IS A MONSTER. IT'S SPREADING IN ALL DIRECTIONS. IT IS SPOTTING TWO MILES AHEAD. SO THAT TWO MILE DISTANCE DOESN'T GIVE YOU MUCH COMFORT. THERE SMOKE EVERYWHERE. I HAVE HELICOPTERS AND JETS GOING OVERHEAD ALL THE TIME. I FEEL LIKE I'M UNDER LAX. IT'S A LITTLE SCARY. >> THAT RAPID SPREAD. IT WENT FROM 4000 ACRES FRIDAY NIGHT TO MORE THAN 15,000 ACRES I CAN READ THE NUMBERS, BUT I SUNDAY. -- WHAT IS THAT LIKE TO HAVE THAT GOING ON AROUND YOU? >> YOU KNOW, AGAIN, YOU KNOW, THIS IS YOUR COMMUNITY AND WATCHING YOUR FRIENDS' HOMES DESTROYED IN AN INSTANT, KNOWING YOU COULD BE NEXT. IT'S REALLY HEARTBREAKING. I'M ACTUALLY KIND OF ANGRY. THIS IS CLIMATE INACTION. THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN WE DON'T ADDRESS THE CLIMATE CHANGE PROBLEM. WE ARE IN A 1500 YEAR DROUGHT HERE IN CALIFORNIA.

WE HAVE DIE OFF OF OVER A MILLION TREES CAUSED BY BEETLE INFESTATION, CAUSED BY DROUGHT, CAUSED BY CLIMATE CHANGE. AND WE HAVE GREAT LEADERS HERE IN CALIFORNIA. GOVERNOR GAVIN NEWSOM IS A LEADER ON CLIMATE. AND IT ALSO GETS HARD WHEN PEOPLE ARE SAYING, OH, YOU KNOW, IT'S A CALIFORNIA PROBLEM. NO, THIS IS YOU KNOW, PEOPLE IN COAL BURNING STATES NEED TO COME HELP FIGHT THE FIRE IN MY BACKYARD. SO, YOU KNOW, THESE MONSTERS, THESE AREN'T EVEN WILDFIRES. THESE ARE HUMAN CAUSED FIRE STORMS BECAUSE OF CLIMATE. AND IT'S QUITE TERRIFYING TO BE A PART OF THAT, ESPECIALLY KNOWING THAT WE COULD HAVE DONE SOMETHING. [00:02:32][54.9] >> THIS IS THE BIGGEST FIRE SO FAR THIS YEAR IN CALIFORNIA, BUT IT IS NOT THEIRST FIRE IN THIS AREA. YOU'VE HAD A NUMBER OF FIRES IN THE PAST THREE WEEKS OR SO. >> I'VE EVEN LOST COUNT. I THINK IT IS SIX AND THREE WEEKS. THIS IS A NORMAL. I'VE BEEN UP HERE 25 YEARS. WHEN I FIRST MOVED HERE, WE'D HAVE A BIG FIRE IN 5 TO 10 YEARS.

THAT WAS ABOUT IT. I MEAN, YOU KNOW, WE'RE JUST HAVING MULTIPLE MAJOR FIRES A YEAR AND SMALLER FIRES. AGAIN, THIS IS CLIMATE INACTION IN ACTION. IT IS A NEW WAY OF LIFE. THOSE OF US WHO LIVE UP HERE, WE KNOW WE WILL HAVE TO COEXIST WITH FIRE. THERE'S NO WAY AROUND IT. IF YOU'RE LOOKING AT MY HOUSE IN THE BACKGROUND, I PUT METAL SIDING ON IT. I HAVE A METAL ROOF. I DO A LOT OF SITTING AND BRUSHING. THOSE ARE THINGS YOU HAVE TO DO IF YOU LIVE UP HERE. FIRE IS NOT GOING TO GO AWAY? >> HOW ELSE DO YOU ADJUST TO TO TO COEXISTING OR LIVING WITH THE THE THAT OF FIRES SO MUCH? >> I DO ALL THE THINGS I JUST OUTLINED. IT IS STILL SCARY. YOU KNOW, I WORK IN WILDLIFE, SO I PROMOTE COEXISTING WITH WILDLIFE A LOT. THAT SEEMS A LITTLE EASIER THAN FIRE. THERE'S NO DOUBT FIRE IS A BIG, SCARY ANIMAL. I THINK YOU ALSO HAVE TO HAVE PLANS. I HAVE AN EVACUATION PLAN RIGHT NOW.

EVEN BEFORE THIS FIRE, I HAVE A FEW OPTIONS OF WONDERFUL FRIENDS I CAN GO TO. WHEN YOU HAVE ANIMALS LIKE ME, I HAVE FIVE DOGS AND TWO CATS, YOU HAVE TO HAVE A PLAN, YOU HAVE TO KNOW HOW TO GET OUT. YOU HAVE A GO BAG. YOU DON'T WAIT. YOU ARE KIND OF ON ALERT ALL SUMMER. YOU ALSO DON'T TRAVEL. THESE DAYS I DON'T LIKE TO GO ANYWHERE, ESPECIALLY GETTING ON A PLANE, DURING FIRE SEASON BECAUSE I WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO GET BACK HERE IN TIME. >> YOU TALKED ABOUT YOUR PETS. WHAT IS THE EFFECT ON THE WILDLIFE IN THE AREA? >> THAT TROUBLES ME AS WELL. YOU KNOW, AGAIN, AS SOMEONE WHO DOES WORK IN WILDLIFE CONSERVATION, I MEAN, THIS THIS IS JUST AS IMPACTFUL ON WILDLIFE IN SOME RESPECTS. -- IN SOME RESPECTS MORE SO. I CAN EVACUATE TO AN AIR-CONDITIONED FRIEND'S HOUSE. THEY HAVE NO OPTIONS. AND AS WE SEE WITH CLIMATE CHANGE, MAKING THESE FIRES LONGER, HOTTER, BURNING MORE SPACE, THAT'S INTRODUCING AN ELEMENT THAT WILDLIFE CANNOT ADAPT TO.

ANY PLANT OR ANIMAL IN CALIFORNIA IS ADAPTED TO A NATURAL FIRE CYCLE. THEY HAVE STRATEGIES. THEY ARE NOT ADAPTED TO THESE FIRESTORMS. SO, FOR INSTANCE, YOU KNOW, CAN'T ESCAPE THEM AS EASILY OR THE HABITAT MAY NOT BE SUITABLE WHEN THEY GO BACK. IT IS REALLY TOUGH ON THE WILDLIFE. I HAVEN'T EVEN MENTIONED THE SMOKE. YOU CAN HEAR MY RASPY VOICE. ESPECIALLY THE LAST FIVE YEARS. WE ARE GETTING A LOT OF SMOKE THROWN AT US. I JUST BOUGHT A REALLY HEAVY DUTY SMOKE FILTER FOR MY HOUSE, BUT THE WILDLIFE DON'T HAVE THAT. SO THE IMPACT OF THIS SMOKE BOTH ON PEOPLE AND WILDLIFE HAS TO BE SUBSTANTIAL. >> BETH PRATT, THE CALIFORNIA REGIONAL EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF THE NATIONAL WILDLIFE FEDERATION IN MID PINES, CALIFORNIA, NOW BEING THREATENED BY THE OAK FIRE. THANK YOU VERY MUCH AND GOOD LUCK. >> THANKS FOR HAVING ME. ♪ NICOLE: I'M NICOLE ELLIS IN FOR STEPHANIE SY WITH NEWSHOUR WEST.

WE'LL RETURN TO THE FULL PROGRAM AFTER THE LATEST HEADLINES. MYANMAR'S MILITARY GOVERNMENT CONFIRMED THAT IT HANGED FOUR DEMOCRACY ACTIVISTS -- THE NATION'S FIRST EXECUTIONS IN DECADES. A STATE-RUN NEWSPAPER SAID THE ACTIVISTS COMMITTED WHAT IT CALLED TERRORIST KILLINGS. THE UNITED NATIONS, THE U.S. AND OTHERS CONDEMNED THE EXECUTIONS. WE'LL TAKE A CLOSER LOOK AT THIS LATER IN THE PROGRAM. THERE'S WORD THAT UKRAINE COULD RESUME EXPORTING GRAIN WITHIN A FEW DAYS UNDER AN AGREEMENT WITH RUSSIA. U.N. OFFICIALS SAY ALL PARTIES HAVE RECOMMITTED TO THE DEAL DESPITE RUSSIA'S MISSILE ATTACK ON THE PORT OF ODESA OVER THE WEEKEND. BUT UKRAINE'S PRESIDENT ZELENSKYY QUESTIONED RUSSIA'S COMMITMENT TODAY. >> AND WE NOW SEE -- THE WHOLE WORLD SAW -- THAT LESS THAN 24 HOURS HAD PASSED, AFTER THE AGREEMENT WAS SIGNED, BEFORE THE MISSILE ATTACKS ON THE SEAPORTS OF UKRAINE BEGAN. THE NEXT QUESTION IS FOR THE U.N. AND TURKEY, AND TO WHAT EXTENT THEY CAN CONTROL RUSSIA, WHICH HAS SHOWN THAT IT CAN LAUNCH MISSILE STRIKES EVEN AFTER AGREEMENTS.

NICOLE: ALSO TODAY, RUSSIA'S FOREIGN MINISTER SERGEI LAVROV SAID MOSCOW'S GOAL IS OUSTING ZELENSKYY'S GOVERNMENT -- NOT JUST CAPTURING MORE TERRITORY. SEPARATELY, RUSSIA HAS ANNOUNCED DEEPER CUTS IN NATURAL GAS SUPPLIES TO EUROPE. THE STATE-OWNED UTILITY GAZPROM REDUCED THE FLOAT 20% OF CAPACITY IN THE NORD STREAM ONE PIPELINE TO GERMANY. THE UTILITY CITED EQUIPMENT REPAIRS. POPE FRANCIS MADE A HISTORIC APOLOGY IN CANADA FOR THE ROLE THE CATHOLIC CHURCH PLAYED IN FORCED ASSIMILATION AT INDIGENOUS SCHOOLS. MORE THAN 150,000 CHILDREN WERE FORCED TO ATTEND THE STATE-FUNDED INSTITUTIONS UNTIL THE 1970'S. TODAY, THE PONTIFF VISITED A FORMER SCHOOL IN ALBERTA, AND PRAYED AT A CEMETERY. HE TOLD SURVIVORS THAN OTHERS, "I AM DEEPLY SORRY." >> I THINK BACK ON THE STORIES YOU TOLD -- HOW THE POLICIES OF ASSIMILATION ENDED UP SYSTEMATICALLY MARGINALIZING INDIGENOUS PEOPLES. HOW ALSO THROUGH THE SYSTEM OF RESIDENTIAL SCHOOLS, YOUR LANGUAGES AND CULTURES WERE DENIGRATED AND SUPPRESSED. HOW CHILDREN SUFFERED PHYSICAL OR VERBAL, PSYCHOLOGICAL AND SPIRITUAL ABUSE.

NICOLE: THE POPE IS MAKING A WEEKLONG PILGRIMAGIN A BID FOR RECONCILIATION WITH INDIGENOUS PEOPLES. BACK IN THIS COUNTRY. THE WHITE HOUSE PHYSICIAN REPORTED PRESIDENT BIDEN'S COVID SYMPTOMS ARE ALMOST COMPLETELY RESOLVED. THE PRESIDENT HIMSELF SAID HE'S FEELING GREAT. TODAY, PRESIDENT BIDEN HOSTED A VIUAL DISCUSSION WITH BUSINESS AND LABOR LEADERS ON A BILL TO BOOST SEMI-CONDUCTOR MANUFACTURING IN THE U.S. THE U.S. JUSTICE DEPARTMENT FILED A SETTLEMENT WITH POULTRY PRODUCERS OVER THE ALLEGED ABUSE OF WORKERS TODAY IT INVOLVES CARGILL, SANDERSON FARMS, WAYNE FARMS AS WELL AS A DATA CONSULTING FIRM. THEY WERE ACCUSED OF SHARING INFORMATION TO LIMIT WAGES AND BENEFITS. THE SETTLEMENT WOULD ESTABLISH A FEDERAL MONITOR. THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION ANNOUNCED TODAY THAT THE GOVERNMENT WILL PLANT MORE THAN ONE BILLION TREES AOSS MILLIONS OF BURNED AND DEAD WOODLANDS IN THE AMERICAN WEST. RECENT DESTRUCTIVE FIRES AND FORESTS WEAKED BY CLIMATE CHANGE HAVE CREATED A BACKLOG OF 4.1 MILLION ACRES IN NEED OF REPLANTING. THE GOVERNMENT IS SET TO

QUADRUPLE THE NUMBER OF TREE SEEDLINGS PRODUCED BY NURSERIES TO WORK THROUGH THE BACKLOG OVER -- BACKLOG. AND ON WALL STREET -- THE DOW JONES INDUSTRIAL AVERAGE GAINED 90 POINTS TO CLOSE AT 31,990. THE NASDAQ FELL 51 POINTS. THE S&P 500 ADDED 5. AND VETERAN ACTOR PAUL SORVINO DIED TODAY IN JACKSONVILLE, FLORIDA. HE WAS BEST KNOWN FOR HIS GANGSTER ROLE IN THE 1990 MOVIE "GOODFELLAS" AND AS POLICE DETECTIVE ON TV'S "LAW AND ORDER." SORVINO'S DAUGHTER, MIRABECAME AN OSCAR-WINNER IN HER OWN RIGHT IN 1996. PAULORVINO WAS 83 YEARS OLD. STILL TO COME ON THE NEWSHOUR. VIRGINITY TESTING CONTINUES IN RURAL MONGOLIAN SCHOOLS DESPITE UNITED NATIONS CONDEMNATION OF THE PRACTICE TAMARA KEITH AND AMY WALTER EXAMINE THE LATEST POLITICAL HEADLINES. SINGER JONI MITCHELL PLAYS HER FIRST FULL SET IN OVER 20 YEARS AT THE NEWPORT FOLK FESTIVAL. AND MUCH MORE. >> THIS IS THE PBS NEWSHOUR FROM WETA STUDIOS IN WASHINGTON AND

IN THE WEST FROM THE WALTER CRONKITE SCHOOL OF JOURNALISM AT ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY. JUDY: THE WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION DECLARED MONKEYPOX A GLOBAL HEALTH EMERGENCY THIS WEEKEND. WHILE THE NUMBER OF CONFIRMED CASES IS VERY SMALL -- TOTALING UNDER 20,000 SO FAR -- IT HAS SPREAD QUICKLY TO DOZENS OF COUNTRIES IN LESS THAN THREE MONTHS. SOME ARGUE THAT THE ALERT FROM THE WHO IS NECESSARY BECAUSE THE RESPONSE IN MANY COUNTRIES HAS BEEN TOO SLOW, INCLUDING THE U.S. AMNA NAWAZ FOCUSES ON THAT TONIGHT. AMNA: JUDY, VACCINATIONS AGAINST MONKEYPOX ARE PICKING UP IN THE U.S., BUT ACCESS AND SPEED OF DELIVERY REMAIN ISSUES. IN SOME CASES, PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN EXPOSED HAVE STRUGGLED TO GET THE VACCINE. IN OTHERS, PATIENTS WITH THE VIRUS CANNOT GET THE DRUG T-POXX, WHICH HELPS WITH SYMPTOMS, INCLUDING PAINL LESIONS. WE SPOKE TO A FEW PEOPLE FROM NEW YORK, LOS ANGELES AND BALTIMORE ABOUT THEIR ISSUES GETTING THE VACCINE OR TREATMENT.

HERE IS WHAT THEY SHARED. >> I NOTICED THAT THERE WAS A KIND OF A BLISTER ON MY FINGER THAT I THOUGHT WAS JUST AN INSECT BITE AT FIRST. EVENTUALLY ANOTHER BLISTER SHOWED UP ON MY BODY, AND THEN THAT WAS WHEN I KNEW THAT IT WAS NOT JUST AN INSECT BITE. >> CALLED MY PROVIDER AND THEY ASKED ME TO SEND SOME PICTURES OF THE LESIONS BECAUSE I CAN SAY I WAS THE THIRD CASE DIAGNOSED IN BALTIMORE OR IN THE STATE OF MARYLAND. >> ON FRIDAY, JUNE 17TH, I GOT A CALL FROM A FRIEND THAT I'D BEEN HANGING OUT WITH THE WEEKEND PRIOR, INFORMING ME THAT I HAVE LIKELY BEEN EXPOSED TO MONKEYPOX. >> I WAS EXPOSED TO SOMEONE WITH MONKEYPOX IN THE END OF JUNE, AND UNFORTUNATELY, I STILL HAVEN'T GOTTEN THE VACCINE AND NOT WITHOUT TRYING. I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO NOT DEVELOP MONKEYPOX BUT I WAS SCARED OUT OF MY MIND AND REALLY, REALLY WANTED THIS VACCINE. >> AND SO THEN THEY SENT A

PRESCRIPTION FOR THE ANTIVIRAL FOR T-POXX TO MY REGULAR PHARMACY AND MY PHARMACY CALLED ME AND SAID THAT THEY HAVE NO WAY TO GET THAT. AND FINALLY, I GOT A CALL FROM A DIFFERENT PHARMACY SAYING THAT THEY DID HAVE IT AND THAT THEY WERE, IN FACT, THE ONLY PHARMACY IN NEW YORK THAT DID AND SO THEY WERE ABLE TO DELIVER IT TO MY APARTMENT THANKFULLY. >> FOR ABOUT FIVE TO SEVEN DAYS, IT FELT LIKE I HAD CRAZY ABDOMINAL CRAMPS CONSTANTLY. I STRUGGLED TO MAKE HAVE BOWEL MOVEMENTS. IT WAS REALLY, REALLY, REALLY HORRIBLE. AND THEN TAKING CARE OF THESE LESIONS ALL OVER MY BODY, I PROBABLY HAD ABOUT 20 TOTAL ON MY BODY. >> IT'S REALLY FRUSTRATING IN HINDSIGHT TO THINK THAT THERE IS A DRUG I COULD HAVE TAKEN THAT IS ALREADY SOMEWHAT CLEARED THAT WE COULD TREAT SMALLPOX AND COULD HAVE MADE THIS EXPERIENCE

MUCH LESS PAINFUL AND TENTIALLY A LOT QUICKER. >> I WAS WORRIED, I WAS AFRAID, I WAS IN PAIN AND I WASN'T SURE HOW I WAS GOING TO GET THIS MEDICINE THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO HELP. >> I SHOWED UP TO THIS PUBLIC SCHOOL AND I REALIZED THAT THERE WERE LOTS OF MEN HANGING AROUND OUTSIDE THE PUBLIC SCHOOL LOOKING VERY FRUSTRATED. AND WHEN I CAME THERE, THEY SAID, IT'S CLOSED. THERE IS NOBODY THERE. WE WERE ALL OUTSIDE. WE ALL LOST OUR APPOINTMENTS. >> YEAH, I DON'T THINK OUR MEDICAL SYSTEM WAS PREPARED FOR AN OUTBREAK OF THIS NATURE. WHAT IS THE BEST MEDICALLY RECOMMENDED WAY TO GET THESE LESIONS TO HEAL AS FAST AS POSSIBLE? SHOULD I KEEP THEM COVERED? SHOULD I LEAVE THEM OPEN TO AIR WHEN I'M AT HOME? SO YEAH, THERE'S BEEN NO GUIDANCE AND THAT'S REALLY HARD FOR PEOPLE THAT HAVE THIS INFECTION. THAT'S VERY SCARY. >> THE VAST MAJORITY OF CASES

ARE IN QUEER MEN OR MEN WHO HAVE SEX WITH MEN. OUR COMMUNITY IS BEING HIT THE HARDEST RIGHT NOW. THAT DOES NOT MEAN IT IS LIMITED TO US AND THAT CERTAINLY DOES NOT MAKE IT A GAY DISEASE OR SOMETHING THAT THERE SHOULD BE SHAME OR STIGMA AROUND. BUT WE SHOULD BE REALISTIC IN WHO IT IS AFFECTING SO THAT, YOU KNOW, WE CAN TARGET TREATMENT ND PREVENTATIVE MEASURES. AMNA: SO FAR THERE ARE UNDER 3000 CONFIRMED CASES IN THE U.S., BUT EXPERTS BELIEVE TRE ARE MANY OTHER CASES THAT HAVE NOT BEEN CONFIRMED YET. A LACK OF TESTI IS ONE PART OF THE OVERALL RESPONSE BY THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION THAT HAS COME UNDER CRITICISM. AN EPIDEMIOLOGIST AT THE YALE SCHOOL OF PUBLIC HEALTH AND A WELL-KNOWN GLOBAL ACTIVIST JOINS ME NOW. PROFESSOR, WELCOME TO THE NEWSHOUR. WE JUST HEARD FROM THOSE FOLKS, I WANT TO GET SOME CONTEXT. THEY HAD TROUBLE ACCESSING TREATMENT, ACCESSING THE VACCINE. OTHERS TOLD US THEY WERE MISDIAGNOSED. HOW RARE ARE THEIR STORIES? >> UNFORTUNATELY, I THINK THIS

IS CHARACTERISTIC OVER THE PAST FEW MONTHS IN THE CONTEXT OF THE MONKEYPOX OUTBREAKS IN THE UNITED STATES. I HEARD SIMILAR STORIES ABOUT HAVING TROUBLE GETTING TESTED, TROUBLE FINDING THE VACCINE, TROUBLE FINDING ACCESS TO TREATMENT EVEN THOUGH WE HAVE ALL THESE COMMODITIES THAT SHOULD BE ABLE TO CONTAIN THIS OUTBREAK AND ALSO TREAT THE INDIVIDUALS WHO NEED HELP. AMNA: THE NUMBERS RIGHT NOW, ABOUT 3000 CASES. A LOT OF PEOPLE SAY IT DOES NOT SOUND LIKE MUCH, BUT YOU CALL THIS A CRISIS. >> LET'S TALK ABOUT MAY 2022. THERE WERE NO CASES IN THE UNITED STATES AND WE HAVE GONE FROM THAT TO OVER 3000 IN THE U.S. WE WENT FROM ZERO TO CLOSE TO 18,000 AROUND THE WORLD IN A MATTER OF TIME, GOING FROM A SMALL SERIES OF COUNTRIES IN WESTERN AND CENTRAL AFRICA WHERE THE DISEASE HAS BEEN ENDEMIC TO OVER 70 COUNTRIES AROUND THE WORLD, WHERE THIS OUTBREAK IS

COMING TO PASS. AMNA: THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION HAS SAID, WE HAVE SHIPPED OVER 300,000 VACCINE DOSES ACROSS THE COUNTRY, THEY ARE WORKING ON A NEW, FASTER, STREAMLINED PROCESS TO GET THE TREATMENT INTO PATIENTS' HANDS. THEY ARE WEIGHING DECLARING A PUBLIC HEALTH EMERGENCY, BUT YOU CALLED THE RESPONSE A MESS. WHAT DO YOU THINK THEY COULD DO TODAY THAT THEY HAVE NOT EN DOING? >> THEY HAVE MOVED INCREDIBLY SLOWLY. EARLY CRITICISMS THAT THE TESTING FOR MONKEYPOX WAS BEING CONTROLLED BY STATE HEALTH DEPARTMENTS AND THE CDC, LEADING TO A BOTTLENECK IN GETTING ACCESS TO TESTING. A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO, THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT GAVE PERMISSION TO RAMP UP TESTING, BUT STILL IT IS CREATING A BOTTLENECK. THE SLOW LESS -- SLOWNESS BY THE WHITE HOUSE IN THE ADMINISTRATION. TWO BOX IS AVAILABLE UNDER FEDERAL SCRUTINY. THEN THERE IS THE VACCINE.

WE HAVE ONE VACCINE WHICH IS AVAILABLE TO PREVENT THIS INFECTION. WE HAVE THE LARGEST STOCKPILE OF THIS VACCINE IN THE WORLD, YET WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO REMOVE JUST ABOUT 140,000 DOSES OVER THE PAST COUPLE OF MONTHS AND THERE ARE DOSES SITTING IN A WAREHOUSE IN DENMARK. IT IS NOT CLEAR THAT THE ADMINISTRATION KNOWS WHAT IT IS DOING IN TERMS OF COORDINATION. TPOXX TREATMENT IS ONE KIND OF MEDICAL CARE PEOPLE NEED. AS YOUR INTERVIEWEES SPOKE, THERE IS ENORMOUS PHYSICAL PAIN THAT MANY OF THESE MEN ARE EXPERIENCING AND THEY ARE GOING INTO THE HOSPITAL GETTING TREATED FOR AND COMING OUT WITH HOSPITAL BILLS THAT STRAIN THEIR OWN FINANCES. THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN SET UP AND STAGED SIX OR EIGHT WEEKS AGO IN THE BEGINNING OF JUNE. NOW WE ARE HEARING WE WILL HAVE ENOUGH VACCINE BY THANKSGIVING. BY THANKSGIVING? REALLY?

AFTER WE HAVE 10,000, 20,000 CASES IN THE U.S.? WE COULD CONTAIN THIS OUTBREAK, WE COULD HAVE STOPPED IT IN ITS TRACKS. THE CHANCES OF IT BECOMING ENDEMIC IS QUITE IMMINENT. WE MAY BE LOOKING AT LIVING WITH ON-Q BOX FOR A LONG TIME TO COME, NOT JUST IN THE GAY COMMUNITY, BUT IT SPILLS OVER INTO OTHER COMMUNITIES IN WHICH CLOSE CONTACT IS COMMON. HOMELESS SHELTERS, PRISONS, HEALTH CLUBS. WE MAY BE DEALING WITH THIS ON A MUCH LARGER SOCIETAL SCALE. AMNA: WHAT WE HAVE SEEN SO FAR IS THAT IT HAS BEEN MOSTLY LIMITED TO THE GAY, BISEXUAL, AND TRANSGENDER COMMUNITIES, MEN WHO HAVE SEX WITH MEN IN OTHER WORDS. A NUMBER OF FOLKS ARE SAYING IT IS LIKE HIV ALL OVER AGAIN. IT IS NOT GETTING THE ATTENTION IT DESERVES BECAUSE IT IS LARGELY IMPACTING CERTAIN COMMUNITIES. >> IT IS VERY HARD NOT TO HAVE GONE TO THE AIDS EPIDEMIC AND TO SEE THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT'S RESPONSE TO IT AND NOT SEE WHAT IS HAPPENING NOW AND THINK IT IS

DEJA VU. IT IS ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLE THAT A DISEASE THAT COULD HAVE BEEN STOPPED IN ITS TRACKS IN MAY AND EARLY JUNE IS NOW HEADING TOWARD SEVERAL THOUSAND CASES. TOTALLY PREVENTABLE. AMNA: A LOT OF YOUR CRITICISMS SOUND LIKE YOU COULD ALSO BE TALKING ABOUT COVID. ARE THOSE LESSONS WE SHOULD HAVE LEARNED? >> INDEED WE SHOULD HAVE, BUT IT IS PRETTY CLEAR THAT THERE WERE FUNDAMENTAL WE THIS IS IN THE AMERICAN PUBLIC HEALTH SYSTEM BEFORE COVID. WE HAVE A WEEK PUBLIC HEALTH INFRASTRUCTURE. WE EXPECT THE SYSTEM TO ACT. WE HAVE A FRACTURED HEALTH CARE SYSTEM. PEOPLE ARE HAVING TO STAY AT HOME FOR 21 DAYS IN QUARANTINE. WHAT ABOUT PAID SICK LEAVE? WE CAME INTO THE COVID PANDEMIC UNPREPARED FOR WHAT BEFELL US. WE THOUGHT WE WOULD HAVE FIXED THESE THINGS BY 2022. NOW WE SEE A NEW OUTBREAK

HAPPENING IN THE U.S. AND ALL THE MISTAKES THAT HAPPENED IN 2020, ALL OF THE DEFICIENCIES IN OUR PUBLIC HEALTH AND HEALTH CARE SYSTEM AND SOCIAL PROTECTION SYSTEM ARE OUT ON FULL DISPLAY ONCE AGAIN. ONE HAS TO WONDER WHEN WE WILL LEARN OUR LESSON. AMNA: THAT IS THE ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR OF EPIDEMIOLOGY AT YALE SCHOOL OF PUBLIC HEALTH JOINING ME TONIGHT. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR TIME. >> THANK YOU. JUDY: IT'S BEEN A YEAR AND A HALF SINCE THE MILITARY IN MYANMAR LAUNCHED A COUP, DEPOSED THE DEMOCRATICALLY ELECTED GOVERNMENT AND RESTORED DICTATORSHIP. AND TODAY, THERE WAS AN OMINOUS MOVE TOWARDS FURTHER REPRESSION AMID COUNTRYWIDE UPHEAVAL -- THE EXECUTION BY HANGING OF FOUR PRO-DEMOCRACY ACTIVISTS. LINDSEY HILSUM OF INDEPENDENT TELEVISION NEWS REPORTS. ♪ LINDSEY: WHAT IS THE POINT OF MY LIFE?

SANG MYANMAR'S MOST FAMOUS RAPPER SEEN STAGE RIGHT. AS AN ACTIVIST AND POLITICIAN, HE FOUND THE POINT. HE CAMPAIGNED FOR DEMOCRACY AND BECAME AN MP, BUT TODAY HIS LIFE WAS TAKEN FROM HIM. ONE OF FOUR POLITICAL PRISONERS EXECUTED BY THE COUNTRY'S MILITARY JUNTA. STATE TV SAID HE WAS A TERRORIST. THE OPPOSITION SEE HIM AS A MARTYR. >> HE LAID DOWN HIS LIFE FOR FREEDOM AND DEMOCRACY AND FOR HUMAN RIGHTS. JUST IMAGINE THAT. THAT IS WHO HE IS. LINDSEY: ANOTHER WELL-KNOWN DEMOCRACY ACTIVIST WAS ALSO KILLED IN THE FIRST EXECUTIONS FOR HALF A CENTURY, A SIGN THAT THE JUNTA THAT SEIZED POWER LAST YEAR WILL BROOK NO DISSENT. >> I THINK THIS IS AN ATTEMPT AT INSTILLING GREATER FEAR AND INTIMIDATION AGAINST THE

POPULATION. IF THEY CAN'T RULE BY THE CONSENT OF THE PEOPLE OF MYANMAR, WHICH THEY OBVIOUSLY CANNOT, THEN THEY ARE GOING TO TRY TO TERRIFY THEM EVEN MORE THAN THEY HAVE TO THIS POINT. LINDSEY: NONETHELESS, A FEW BRAVE PROTESTERS CAME OUT ONTO THE STREETS TODAY WITH BANNERS SAYING "WE WILL NEVER BE FRIGHTENED." AND FMED THEMSELVES SO THE WORLD COULD SEE EVEN THE PROSPECT OF EXECUTION WILL NOT CAL THEM -- COW THEM. [CHANTING] LINDSEY: LAST FEBRUARY AFTER A DEMOCRACY LEADER WON A LANDSLIDE ELECTION VICTORY, THE MILITARY STAGED A COUP. SHE IS NOW IN PRISON. AFTER SOLDIERS SUPPRESSED WIDESPREAD PROTESTS, MANY ACTIVISTS FLED INTO EXILE AND OTHERS INTO THE BUSH. NOW, PEACEFUL RESISTANCE HAS TURNED TO ARMED REBELLION.

THEY CALL THEMSELVES THE PEOPLE'S DEFENSE FORCES. ♪ FOOTAGE THAT HAS NEVER BEEN SEEN BEFORE SHOWS A GRADUATION CEREMONY FOR NEW FIGHTERS IN CENTRAL MYANMAR. AN ARMY HELICOPTER LAUNCHES AN AIRSTRIKE AND BOTH THE RECRUITS AND THE CAMERA CREW HAVE TO TAKE COVER. THE MILITARY HAS ALSO LAUNCHED AERIAL AND GROUND ATTACKS ON VILLAGES. THERE ARE WIDESPREAD REPORTS OF THE WOUNDING AND KILLING OF CIVILIANS BY MYANMAR'S SOLDIERS. THIS IS A CRUEL AND RARELY SEEN CIVIL WAR. TODAY'S EXECUTIONS ARE A SIGN OF HOW MUCH MORE CRUEL IT IS SET TO BECOME. JUDY: THAT REPORT FROM LINDSEY HILSUM OF INDEPENDENT TELEVISION NEWS. IN ADDITION TO ITS CONNECTION WITH THE EXTREME HEAT AND

WEATHER EVENTS HERE AND AROUND THE GLOBE, CLIMATE CHANGE IS ALSO HAVING A MEASURABLE IMPACT ON A MUCH SLOWER-MOVING DEVELOPMENT -- THE LOSS OF GLACIERS AND THE MELTING OF THE ICE. SCIENCE CORRESPONDENT MILES O'BRIEN HAS BEEN CHRONICLING ONE SCIENTIST'S QUEST TO TRACK WHAT'S HAPPENING WITH ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT GLACIERS. HERE IS HIS LATEST UPDATE. MILES: IT WAS LIKE A SCENE FROM STAR WARS WHEN CLIMA SCIENTIST DAVID HOLLAND FINALLY MADE IT TO GROUND ZERO. >> JUST ABSOLUTE INSANE FUN AND I HONESTLY THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO DIE. WE FLEW THE HELICOPTER THROUGH THOSE CREVICES. MILES: PLEASE ICE CANYONS ARE IN ANTARCTICA. IT IS THE SO-CALLED DOOMSDAY GLACIER AND YOU ARE SEEING IT IN ITS DEATH THROES, AS CLOSE AS ANYONE EVER HAS. >> THIS IS PERHAPS THE MOST IMPORTANT GLACIER IN THE WORLD IN TERMS OF ITS POTENTIAL IMPACT THIS CENTURY.

MILES: THE SIZE OF FLORIDA, IT STORES ENOUGH WATER TO INCREASE GLOBAL SEA LEVEL BY ALMOST THREE FEET IF IT ALL MELTED, 10 FEET IF THE ICE IT HELPS HOLD IN PLACE SLIDES INTO THE SEA BEHIND IT. AND HERE THE ICE IS MELTING AT A STUNNING RATE, 100 METERS, MORE THAN 300 FEET A YEAR. HOW LONG CAN IT LAST? >> THAT IS AN EXCELLENT QUESTION, THAT IS THE ONE WE ARE PUSHING FOR. WE WANT TO HAVE AN ICE FORECAST. WITHOUT AN ICE FORECAST, WHICH WE DON'T HAVE, WE HAVE NO INSIGHT INTO OUR FUTURE. MILES: HOLLAND IS A PROFESSOR AT NEW YORK UNIVERSITY. THERE WE WATCHED SOME SCENES FROM HIS EPIC VOYAGE. YEAR AFTER YEAR, HE RISKS HIS LIFE HERE AND IN THE ARCTIC IN PURSUIT OF ELUSIVE DATA. FOR STARTERS, HE WANTS TO KNOW THE WATER TEMPERATURE BELOW THESE CRACKS, BUT THE PROBE HOLDING THE INSTRUMENTS ISN'T BREAKING THROUGH. >> THERE IS A THIN FILM OF ICE, MAYBE AN INCH OR SO. WHEN YOU DROP THE PROBE, IT HITS

THE ICE AND IT WON'T GO THROUGH IT. MILES: FINDING A WAY THROUGH THE THIN LAYER OF ICE WAS A CHALLENGE AND A LITANY HE ENCOUNTERED DURING THIS LONG AND UNPREDICTABLE AND YET SERENDIPITOUS AND ARCTIC CAMPAIGN. >> THIS WAS THE MOST DIFFICULT MISSION WE HAVE EVER BEEN ON. MILES: THEY ARRIVED IN NEW ZEALAND ON DECEMBER 20. IT TOOK THREE WEEKS FOR THEIR COVID QUARANTINES TO LIFT AND THEIR EQUIPMENT TO ARRIVE. >> READY TO SET SAIL NEXT WEEK. >> YES. MILES: FUNDED BY THE NATIONAL SCIENCE FOUNDATION AND ITS COUNTERPARTS IN THE U.K., CANDIDA, AND SOUTH KOREA, THREE DOZEN RESEARCHERS BRDED THIS SOUTH KOREAN ICEBREAKER. BRIMMING WITH GEAR, THE SHORES -- SHIP SET COURSE FOR THE GLACIER. >> THE IDEA WAS TO GO STRAIGHT TO THE ICE SHELF AND IT TURNS OUT THAT LEAD TO FAILURE BECAUSE WE WEREN'T PLANNING ON SEA ICE. MILES: SEEMINGLY TRUE TO HER NAME, THE SHIP CUTS THROUGH MOST

ICE LIKE UTTER AT 14 KNOTS -- MOST ICE. FOR UNKNOWN REASONS, A HUGE CONGLOMERATION OF CIS FLOATED IN THE SEA BETWEEN THEM AND THE GLACIER. EVENTUALLY, IT WAS TOO MUCH FOR THE SHIP. >> THE DREAMS OF REACHING THWAITS HAVE BEEN DASHED NOW. MILES: WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS? >> THAT WE HAD LOST THE PRIZE, THAT WE WOULD NOT GET THE DATA. MILES: ALL GEARED UP WITH NO PLACE TO GO, TEAM HOLLAND STARTED EYEING A CONSOLATION PRIZE. >> IT IS MONDAY MORNING, JANUARY 24. WE ARRIVED HERE. THIS IS THE DATSUN ICE SHELF. MILES: IT IS STABLE, NOT A HEAVYWEIGHT GLOBAL THREAT, BUT IT IS A LOCAL TARGET OF OPPORTUNITY, SO THEY GOT BUSY DEPLOYING THE SCIENTIFIC FIELD CAMP THEY HAD DESIGNED FOR

THWAITS ON DATSUN. >> ALL OF THE OPERATIONS ARE MOVING AT LIGHTNING SPEED. MILES: THEY HAD TO AIRLIFT 50 TONS OF GEAR, ONE TON AT A TIME. >> EQUIPMENT AND PEOPLE ARE SHUTTLING OFF THE SHIP TO OUR BASE CAMP ABOUT 20 KILOMETERS INLAND BEHIND ME. MILES: THE MISSION, DRILL A ONE FOOT WIDE, QUARTER MILE DEEP HOLE THROUGH THE ICE TO THE SEA BENEATH, DROP INSTRUMENTS IN AND LEAVE A MOORING BEHIND TO MONITOR WHAT IS HAPPENING WHERE MOST OF THE MELTING OCCURS. THEY DRILLED WITH HOT WATER MADE FROM SNOW, AND SHOVELED INTO A 2600 GALLON CONTAINER. AS THEY SET UP THE GEAR AND STARTED DRILLING, HOLLAND SCRAMBLED TO MAKE HIS COMPLEX MOORING WORK. THE PRESSURE WAS ON. >> THE GUYS THINK THEY WILL BE THROUGH IN ABOUT SIX HOURS AND AFTER THAT, WE ARE KIND OF READY FOR THE MOORING, BUT THE MOORING IS NOT READY FOR THEM. MILES: UP UNTIL THIS POINT, THE WEATHER HAD BEEN BENIGN BY ANTARCTIC STANDARDS, CLEAR AND

COLD. BUT THE DAY EVERYTHING HAD TO BE READY -- >> THE WEATHER HAS GONE -- THE SNOW IS REALLY STARTING TO BLOW. MILES: THERE WAS NO TIME TO HUNKER DOWN, SO DOWN WENT THE MOORING, FINGERS CROSSED. >> IT IS WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 10. THE MOORING W INSTALLED AND AGO. SOME 1300 METERS BELOW ME IS AN INSTRUMENT THAT IS TALKING RIGHT NOW WITH THIS COMPUTER. WOOHOO! A LITTLE BIT OF RESTRAINT NOW. -- YES! THERE WAS A LOT OF SCREAMING EVEN THOUGH IT WAS THE MIDDLE OF A BLIZZARD. IT WAS LIKE, THIS WORKS. IT WAS STILL A SENSE THAT WE DID NOT ACHIEVE WHAT WE WANTED.

MILES: HE WANTED THOSE INSTRUMENTS AT THE PLACE WHERE THE GLACIER MEETS THE LAND, THERE WARM SEAWATER INTERACTS WITH COOLER MELTED FRESHWATER FROM THE GLACIER, AN AREA CALLED THE BOUNDARY LAYER. IT CREATES TURBULENCE. >> THAT TURBULENCE AT THE BOUNDARY LAYER IS HOW WARM WATER FROM THE OCEAN GETS TO THE ICE. IT HAS TO GO THROUGH THIS BOUNDARY LAYER, BUT WE DON'T UNDERSTAND THE TURBULENCE AND IT, SO WE WANT TO CAPTURE IT AND SEE IT. MILES: AS THE ICE FRACTURES AND MELTS, THE WATER FLOW GETS EVEN MORE COMPLICATED. UNDERSTANDING THIS IS CRUCIAL FOR DAVID HOLLAND IF HE IS EVER TO SUCCEED AT CREATING AN ACCURATE ICE FORECAST. BUT FOR NOW, ANY CRIME OF DATA HELPS, WHICH BRINGS US BACK TO WHERE WE BEGAN WITH TIME AND FUEL JUST ENOUGH FOR A FEW EXTENDED FLIGHTS, HOLLAND AND HIS TEAM FLEW TO THE OPEN WOUND THAT THWAITS AND AFTER THE PROBES REFUSED TO PENETRATE THE ICE, THEY FILLED A FEW WITH SHACKLES FROM THE SHIP. >> WE CALLED IT A SHACKLETON

BOMB. [LAUGHTER] THIS HEAVY PIECE OF METAL, IT CREATES A HOLE AND THEN YOU THROW THE PROBE AFTERWARD. AND THAT WORKED BRILLIANTLY. MILES: THEY GOT A DOZEN READINGS. >> IT IS THE FIRST EVER DATA FROM WESTERN THWAITS. WHAT WE SAW IS DATA THAT THE WARMEST WATER ANYWHERE IN AN ARC TO -- ANTARCTICA IS UNDER THWAITS. IT IS CRAZY WARM FOR WATER NEAR ICE. MILES: THAT IS 40 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT. YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE A CLIMATE SCIENTIST TO UNDERSTAND HOW SERIOUS THAT NUMBER IS. IT APPEARS THE ICE FORECAST THAT DAVID HOLLAND IS SO DETERMINED TO CREATE WON'T PREDICT IF, BUT RATHER WHEN. UNTIL THEN, THE WORLD WILL HAVE TO WAIT AND WONDER HOW LONG THE GLACIERS CAN TEETER ON THIS PRECIPICE. FOR THE PBS NEWSHOUR, I'M MILES

O'BRIEN. ♪ JUDY: FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP WILL BE RETURNING TO THE NATION'S CAPITOL FOR THIS WEEK FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE HE LEFT OFFICE DAYS AFTER THE JANUARY 6 COMMITTEE WRAPPED UP A SUMMER FULL OF HEARINGS PUTTING MR. TRUMP AT THE CENTER OF A CONSPIRACY TO SUBVERT THE RESULTS OF THE 2020 ELECTION. TO TALK ABOUT ALL THE POLITICS HERE, I'M JOINED BY OUR POLITICS MONDAY DUO,MY WALTER OF THE COOK POLITICAL REPORT WITH AMY WALTER A TRA KEITH OF NPR. HELLO TO BOTH OF YOU ON THIS POLITICS MONDAY. VERY GOOD TO SEE YOU. LET'S TALK ABOUT THE JANUARY 6 COMMITTEE. THEY WRAPPED UP THEIR EIGHTH HEARING LAST WEEK, THE END OF THE SUMMER RUN. WE WILL HEAR MORE IN SEPTEMBER. HOW GOOD OF A JOB HAVE THEY DONE LAYING THIS OUT?

THEY HAVE PUT OUT ANOTHER VIDEO SHOWING THE DAY AFTER JANUARY 6 HOW THE FORMER PRESIDENT WAS STILL RELUCTANT TO SAY -- TO SEPARATE HIMSELF FROM THE RIOTERS. THERE WAS A LINE HE SHOWED, YOU DO NOT REPRESENT ME, YOU DO NOT REPRESENT OUR MOVEMENT, HE WOULD NOT SAY IT. >> HE ALSO SAID IN THAT STATEMENT THAT HE HAD IMMEDIATELY SENT THE NATIONAL GUARD AND OTHER LAW ENFORCEMENT IN WHEN THIS STARTED, WHICH OBVIOUSLY WAS ALSO UNTRUE. I GUESS IT IS DEFINING HOW EFFECTIVE IT HAS BEEN IN DIFFERENT WAYS. WAS IT EFFECTIVE AT CHANGING PEOPLE'S MINDS? HOW THEY FELT PRE THIS HEARING AND TODAY? IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE MANY MINDS HAVE BEEN CHANGED, SO THIS IS FROM THE NPR NEWSHOUR POLE. THIS QUESTION WAS ASKED FIRST IN DECEMBER 2021. WAS JANUARY 6 AND INSURRECTION, A THREAT TO DEMOCRACY?

49% SAID YES THEN. JUST 50% SAY YES. HOW RESPONSIBLE IS TRUMP FOR WHAT HAPPENED AT THE CAPITOL? 45% IN JULY -- 43% IN JANUARY SAID IT WAS A BIG DEAL. ONLY 45% NOW. NOT A WHOLE LOT OF MOVEMENT. WHEN YOU TALK TO REPUBLICANS, WHETHER ACTIVISTS OR EVEN RANK-AND-FILE VOTERS LISTENING TO IT IN FOCUS GROUPS, WHAT YOU START TO HERE IS A WEARINESS, MAY BE TRUMP FATIGUE SETTING IN. THEY STILL LIKE HIM AND THEY DON'T SUPPORT THE JANUARY 6 COMMISSION, BUT WHAT THEY ARE STARTING TO PICK UP IS THE SENSE THAT VOTING FOR TRUMP AGAIN COMES WITH A LOT OF BAGGAGE AND THERE ARE PLENTY OF OTHER CANDIDATES OUT THERE WHO WANT TO RUN FOR PRESIDENT, WHO HAVE ALL OF THE TRUMPISM WITHOUT THIS BAGGAGE. JUDY: MAYBE IT IS HAVING SOME IMPACT? >> CERTAINLY IT COULD BE HAVING SOME IMPACT. I THINK IT IS GOING TO BE HARD

TO TELL. THERE HAVE BEEN OTHER TIMES OVER THE LAST FIVE OR SIX YEARS THAT THERE HAS BEEN TRUMP FATIGUE AMONG REPUBLICANS. THERE HAS BEEN AN ESTABLISHMENT REPUBLICAN EFFORT TO TAKE OUT DONALD TRUMP AND THEN THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO MOUNT ENOUGH OF A FORCE TO GET BEHIND ONE PERSON THAT COULD BE AN OPPONENT TO ACTUALLY BE ABLE TO TAKE HIM OFF THE POLITICAL SCENE. THERE ARE LOTS AND LOTS OF REPUBLICANS, RANK-AND-FILE, WHO SAY I WISH YOU WOULD NOT TWEET SO MUCH AND THEY WILL VOTE FOR HIM. SOMEONE LIKE BILL BARR, THE FORMER ATTORNEY GENERAL, WHO SAID THE FORMER PRESIDENT'S CLAIMS ABOUT ELECTION FRAUD WERE B.S., BUT SAID THAT IF HE WERE THE NOMINEE HE WOULD VOTE FOR HIM AGAIN. I THINK WITH THE, COMMITTEE IS TRYING TO DO, WHAT LIZ CHENEY ARGUED, THE LEADING REPUBLICAN ON THE COMMITTEE BUT SOMEONE WHO BELIEVES DONALD TRUMP IS A THREAT TO DEMOCRACY, WHAT SHE ARGUED IS THAT HIS BEHAVIOR ON JANUARY 6 MEANS THAT HE SHOULD

NOT BE ALLOWED TO BE ELECTED AGAIN. HAVE THEY CONVINCED RANK-AND-FILE REPUBLICANS, PRIMARY VOTERS? IT IS NOT CLEAR. JUDY: TO THE POINT THAT PEOPLE ARE SKEPTICAL HE WILL BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE, HALF OF AMERICANS SAID THEY THOUGHT HE HAD COMMITTED A CRIME, BUT MORE THAN 60% SAID HE WILL NOT BE PROSECUTED. >> THERE IS A REASON PEOPLE BELIEVE THAT. HE HAS BEEN TEFLON. HE HAS BEEN IMPEACHED TWICE AND NOT CONVICTED. THERE WAS THE MOLAR INVESTIGATION. IF THE PUBLIC IS FOLLOWING THE CUES OF THE PAST, THERE IS NO REASON TO BELIEVE THIS WOULD BE DIFFERENT. NPR HAS CONFIRMED THAT MARK SHORT HAS BEEN CALLED BEFORE A GRAND JURY IN WASHINGTON DC. THERE ARE INDICATIONS THAT THERE ARE INVESTIGATIONS THAT ARE GETTING MORE SERIOUS EVEN OUTSIDE OF THIS CONGRESSIONAL INVESTIGATION, WHICH COULD LEAD TO POLICY CHANGE, BUT IS NOT INTENDED TO LEAD TO PROSECUTION PER SE.

JUDY: MEANWHILE AS WE WERE SAYING EARLIER, FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP COMING TO WASHINGTON FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE HE LEFT AND RIGHT AFTER THE DAY HE LEFT OFFICE. TO SPEAK AT THIS CONSERVATIVE CONFERENCE. HIS OWN FORMER VICE PRESIDENT MIKE PENCE WAS DUE TO SPEAK THERE TODAY, CAUSING ALL OF US TO START TO LOOK AGAIN AT HOW ARE THESE REPUBLICANS LINING UP? WITHIN ABOUT 2024. HERE IS A PIECE OF THAT POLL LOOKING AT FAVORABILITY AMONG THESE PARTY LEADERS, THIS IS JUST REPUBLICAN VOTERS. 77%, DONALD TRUMP. 65%, RON DESANTIS. 59%, PENCE. LIZ CHENEY BRINGING UP THE REAR, SHE IS NOT FIRST IN THE HEARTS OF REPUBLICANS. >> THE REMARKABLE THING ABOUT THE DESANTIS NUMBER IS THAT HE IS THE GOVERNOR OF FLORIDA AND THAT IS A PRETTY LARGE NUMBER

FOR SOMEBODY WHO JUST RECENTLY CAME ONTO THE NATIONAL SCENE. HE COMES UP IN CONVERSATION WITH RANK-AND-FILE REPUBLICANS AS SOMEONE THAT THEY LIKE. HE HAS CERTAINLY BROKEN THROUGH. THE THING ABOUT MIKE PENCE, THE FOLKS AROUND HIM BELIE THERE IS A LANE FOR HIM, THAT THERE ARE ENOUGH REPUBLICANS OUT THERE WHO WANT TO SEE SOMEBODY WHO SUPPORTED THE POLICIES OF DONALD TRUMP, BUT DOES NOT COME WITH THE BAGGAGE OF DONALD TRUMP, OR WANT TO SEE SOMEBODY WHO HAS REAL EVANGELICAL, CONSERVATIVE VALUES. COMES FROM THAT WING OF THE PARTY. WE DON'T REALLY SEE MUCH EVIDENCE THAT VOTERS, REPUBLICAN VOTERS ARE HUNGRY FOR A MIKE PENCE CANDIDACY. WE HEAR A LITTLE BACK-AND-FORTH. THE FACT THAT HE HAS A 59% SUGGESTS THEY DON'T NECESSARILY DISLIKE HIM IN THE WAY THEY FEEL ABOUT LIZ CHENEY, BUT THEY ARE ALSO NOT TRIPPING OVER THEMSELVES EXCITEDLY TO SUPPORT

HIM. >> I'M NOT SAYING CROWD SIZE MATTERS, BUT TRUMP AND PENCE HELD RIVAL EVENTS IN ARIZONA OVER THE WEEKEND, TRUMP HAD A RALLY WITH SEVERAL THOUSAND PEOPLE, PENCE HAD AN EVENT IS NOT MEANT TO BE A RALLY, LIKE A REGULAR BORING CAMPAIGN EVENT FOR A GUBERNATORIAL CANDIDATE AT AN EMPLOYER IN ARIZONA, A COUPLE HUNDRED PEOPLE. VERY DIFFERENT TONE, VERY DIFFERENT MODE. THAT IS REFLECTIVE OF WHO THEY ARE AND THE FACT THAT TRUMP JUST GETS PEOPLE EXCITED, GETS HIS VOTERS EXCITED STILL. JUDY: EVEN WITH THE JANUARY 6 GOING ON. THE COMMITTEE DRIP, DRIP, DRIP OF INFORMATION. BUT WE'VE GOT OVER TWO YEARS NOW FOR VOTERS TO SORT OUT WHAT THEY THINK ABOUT HIM. >> THAT'S RIGHT. >> AND WE HAVE POTENTIALLY LEGAL ACTION IN GEORGIA AND THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE AS WELL. JUDY: THAT'S RIGHT. THERE IS THE ATLANTA -- >> WHICH SEEMS TO BE MOVING ALONG. WE DON'T KNOW WHERE THIS IS

HEADED, BUT WE KNOW A LOT OF THE NAMES THAT HAVE BEEN BROUGHT IN FRONT OF THE GRAND JURY. SO, WE COULD BE LOOKING AT SOMETHING BEFORE WE HIT 2024 FROM A LEGAL PERSPECTIVE. WHAT IS INTERESTING, THE PENCE AND TRUMP CAMPS ARE FIGHTING PROXY WARS WITH DIFFERENT CANDIDATES. TRUMP AGAINST THE SITTING GOVERNOR OF GEORGIA, BRIAN KEMP. AND PENCE FOR HIM. IN ARIZONA, SUPPORTING DIFFERENT CANDIDATES. JUDY: WE ARE WATCHING THESE ALL OVER. SUBJECT FOR ANOTHER POLITICS MONDAY. AMY WALTER, TAMERA KEITH, THANK YOU BOTH. >> YOU'RE WELCOME. ♪ JUDY: AS THE DEBATE CONTINUES IN THE U.S. OVER REPRODUCTIVE RIGHT , IN THE REPUBLIC OF MONGOLIA, TEENAGE GIRLS ARE FIGHTING NOT TO BE SUBJECTED AGAINST THEIR WILL TO SO CALL VIRGINITY TESTS

IN SCHOOLS. THE PRACTICE WAS OFFICIALLY BANNED BY THE GOVERNMENT LAST YEAR, BUT IT CONTINUES NEVERTHELESS. THIS STORY WAS PRODUCED IN COLLABORATION WITH THE GLOBAL PRESS JOURNAL, AN INTERNATIONAL NEWS ORGANIZATION THAT TRAINS LOCAL WOMEN JOURNALISTS IN THE WORLD'S LEAST COVERED PLACES. STEPHANIE SY HAS THE STORY. STEPHANIE: IN THE HINTERLANDS OF MONGOLIA, YOUNG GIRLS ARE MADE TO GO THROUGH VAGINAL EXAMS AT SCHOOL, OSTENSIBLY TO SEE IF THEY'VE HAD SEXUAL INTERCOURSE. DOCTORS PERFORM THE INVASIVE EXAMS BY ORDER OF SCHOOL ADMINISTRATORS, WITHOUT THE PERMISSION OF THE STUDENTS OR EVEN THEIR PARENTS. >> DID THEY HAVE YOUR CONSENT TO DO THIS? >> NO, THEY DON'T ASK FOR CONSENT. THEY JUST SAY GO. >> WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU DO NOT CONSENT? >> IF WE DON'T AGREE, OUR TEACHER SAYS WE HAVE TO, THAT NO ONE SHOULD BE LEFT UNEXAMINED. WE ARE SCOLDED AND FORCED TO DO IT ANYWAY. STEPHANIE: SHE IS JUST ONE OF

THE GIRLS STILL BEING SUBJECTED TO VIRGINITY TESTS EVEN AFTER THE GOVERNMENT OF MONGOLIA BANNED THE PRACTICE LAST YEAR. THE BAN WAS IN RESPONSE TO STUDENT-LED PROTESTS AND PRESSURE FROM THE UNITED NATIONS , WHICH IN 2018 CONDEMNED THE PRACTICE AND DECLARED IT AN ACT OF VIOLENCE THAT DEGRADES TEENAGE GIRLS. SOME 20 COUNTRIES STILL IMPLEMENT VIRGINITY TESTS, ACCORDING TO THE U.N. AN INVESTIGATION BY MONGOLIAN JOURNALIST KHORLOO KHUKHNOKHOI WITH GLOBAL PRESS JOURNAL FOUND THE PRACTICE HAS CONTINUED IN RURAL SCHOOLS WITH IMPUNITY. >> HAVE YOU AND YOUR FRIENDS BEEN ABLE TO SPEAK TO YOUR FAMILY ABOUT THIS? IS THERE ALSO A FEAR OF STIGMA? >> I DO NOT TALK TO MY FAMILY ABOUT IT. I'M AFRAID OF THE STIGMA, SO I GO ALONG WITH THE TEST. IF YOU DON'T, MANY PEOPLE GOSSIP ABOUT IT AND YOU JUST KEEP BEING INSULTED ALL THE TIME. >> ARE YOU AND YOUR FRIENDS SUBJECTED TO BULLYING, TEASING, AND HUMILIATION AFTER THESE TESTS ARE CONDUCT?

WHAT IS THE ENVIRONMENT LIKE IN SCHOOL? >> IF YOU D'T, PEOPLE WILL THINK YOU ARE PREGNANT. I HAVE ONE FRIEND WHO SAID SHE WOULDN'T DO THE TEST AND THE THING IS SHE WAS PREGNANT. SHE WANTED TO KEEP IT A SECRET, BUT OUR TEACHER DISCOVERED IT EVENTUALLY. SO THE RUMORS SPREAD, AND SHE WAS BULLIED A LOT BY OTHER STUDENTS. THE WHOLE SCHOOL INSULTED HER TERRIBLY. FINALLY, SHE MOVED TO ANOTHER SCHOOL. >> WHAT MADE YOU WANT TO SPEAK UP ABOUT THIS? >> WE DON'T WANT TO GO THROUGH THESE EXAMINATIONS. THEY TELL US, YOU HAVE TO DO IT. THAT IS WHY I WANTED PEOPLE TO KNOW ABOUT IT, TO RAISE MY VOICE ON THIS ISSUE. >> LAST YEAR, THERE WAS AN UPROAR AFTER THE STORY CAME OUT ABOUT THESE TESTS AND THESE TESTS WERE OFFICIALLY BANNED. DOES THE SCHOOL ADMINISTRATION NOT FEAR ANY ACTION BEING TAKEN AGAINST THEM? >> SOOL ADMINISTRATORS ARE NOT WORRIED ABOUT IT, BECAUSE NO ACTION HAS BEEN TAKEN AGAINST THEM, AS FAR AS I KNOW, EVEN IF THEY ARE STILL CONDUCTING GIRL'' EXAMINATIONS. STEPHANIE: REPORTER KHORLOO SPOKE WITH THE NEWSHOUR FROM THE

CAPITAL CITY ULAANBAATAR. IN YOUR REPORTING, WHAT HAVE YOU FOUND ABOUT HOW MANY SCHOOLS IN MONGOLIA ARE STILL IMPLEMENTING THIS INVASIVE MEDICAL EX? >> I FOUND OUT THAT AT LEAST TEN SCHOOLAROUND THE COUNTRY HAVE REPORTED UNDERGOING VIRGINITY TESTS. AND I FOUND OUT THIS INFORMATION FROM STUDENTS AND DOCTORS AND SCHOOL ADMINISTRATION DURING MY REPORTING. STEPHANIE: WHAT ARE SCHOOLS AND PRINCIPALS OF THOSE SCHOOLS SAY TO JUSTIFY GIVING GIRLS THIS EXAM? >> SO THEY CLAIM THAT THE EXAMS ACTUALLY PREVENT TEENAGE PREGNANCIES AND SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED DISEASES. AND THAT RIGHT NOW, THE ORTION RATE IS QUITE HIGH, BUT THERE'S NO ACTUAL DATA TO BACK UP THEIR CLAIMS. STEPHANIE: SO WHAT IS THE POINT OF THESE EXAMS? >> SO THE GOVERNMENT CLAIMS THAT THE MAIN PURPOSE OF THESE VIRGINITY TESTS IS THAT THEY WANT TO COME UP WITH THE EXACT NUMBERS AND DATA TO KEEP A CHECK ON HOW MANY ABORTIONS AND UNWANTED PREGNANCIES ARE

HAPPENING. STEPHANIE: I KNOW THAT THERE HAVE BEEN A LOT OF PROTESTS IN THE COUNTRY OVER THESE EXAMS. HOW MUCH PRESSURE IS THE GOVERNMENT UNDER RIGHT NOW TO BAN THE EXAMS ALTOGETHER? >> SO THE ACTIVISTS ARE CALLING FOR A COMPLETE BAN ON VIRGINITY TESTS. EVEN THOUGH THE GOVERNMENT HAD RESTRICTED THE CONDUCT OF THESE EXAMS IN THE SCHOOL ENVIRONMENT LAST YEAR, SOME SCHOOLS ARE STILL DOING IT SECRETLY. SO THAT MEANS THAT THE MEASURE IS STILL NOT EFFECTIVE. AND SO THEY SAY THEY WILL CONTINUE FIGHTING. AND THEY ARE EDUCATING THE VICTIMS TO PTEST AGAINST THIS VIOLATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS. I INTERVIEWED MANY GIRLS DURING MY REPORTING AND THEY SAID THEY WENT THROUGH THE EXAM AFTER ANY CONSENT. THEY ARE FORCED TO GO TO THE DOCTOR'S OFFICE TO GET SCREENED. THEY TOLD ME HOW PHYSICALLY AND MENTALLY CHALLENGING IT IS FOR THEM. IT LEAVES THEM TRAUMATIZED. THEY HAVE TO STAY IN LINE AT THE DOCTOR'S OFFICE, STAY -- TAKE OFF THEIR CLOTHES. SOME GIRLS ACTUALLY CRIED DURING

THE INTERVIEW AND IT WAS QUITE A HARD MOMENT. STEPHANIE: KHORLOO SAYS THEY WERE WILLING TO TALK AND RELIVE THE TRAUMA SO THAT OTHER GIRLS WOULD NOT HAVE TO ENDURE WHAT THEY DID. >> NO ONE HAS THE RIGHT TO TOUCH OUR BODIES WITHOUT OUR CONSENT. NO ONE SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO TAKE GIRLS' CLOTHES SOFTEN SCHOOL DURING THIS EXAMINATION. IT IS A VIOLATION OF OUR HUMAN RIGHTS. EVERYON'S VOICE IS IMPORTANT, ESPECIALLY THE GIRLS AND THEIR FAMILIES. EVERYONE NEEDS TO SPEAK UP. STEPHANIE: FOR THE PBS NEWSHOUR, I'M STEPHANIE SY. JUDY: WE END TONIGHT ON A POIGNANT AND BEAUTIFUL NOTE.
