W.H.O launches a Global Digital Health Certification Network Tik Tok punches back at Montana NYC blames car companies for Crime problem Headline update 6.7.23.
On Today’s Headline Update Show for Ranting Politics, we cover the following headlines: World Health Organization launches a Global Digital Health Certification Network,

Tik Tok punches back at Montana. & NYC the latest Metro to Blame Car companies for their crime problems.
Key Points:

• The World Health Organization's (WHO) recent initiative, the Global Digital Health Certification Network (GDHCN). It's the latest attempt to digitize, centralize, and — let's face it — potentially exploit our most personal data: our health records.
• let's delve into the unfolding saga between TikTok, the social media giant, and the state of Montana. The crux of the matter lies in Montana's recent decision to ban the app, a move that TikTok has responded to with a lawsuit. This legal tussle is emblematic of the broader tensions between technology, privacy, and national security that are defining our digital age.
• Today's third Headline Update is a narrative that highlights a stark failure, not of corporate negligence, as some might have you believe, albeit a product marketing failure, but of government policing responsibility and regulatory oversight in ensuring the safety and security of its citizens. It brings us to the heart of a controversy surrounding two multinational automotive corporations, Hyundai Motor and Kia, in New York City.

Todays Spotlight:
Let's delve into the first of our big stories today—the controversial air strike in Rafah, Gaza. This past Sunday, an air strike by Israeli forces resulted in considerable tragedy, with at least 45 Palestinians losing their lives and hundreds more suffering injuries from severe burns, fractures, and shrapnel wounds. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has described the incident as a "tragic mishap," even as international condemnation poured in, questioning the tactics and ethics of the operation. Speaking in the Israeli parliament, Netanyahu emphasized the necessity for Israel to take "every precaution possible" to protect civilians caught between the crossfires. Yet he stood firm on the nation's commitment to continue its military campaign against Hamas. "I don’t intend to end the war before every goal has been achieved," he stated, reinforcing his position amid interruptions from family members of hostages taken during the October 7th attacks.
The details get murkier, as the Hamas-run health ministry reported that the strike targeted tents for displaced people near a UN facility in Tal al-Sultan. According to Médecins Sans Frontières (Doctors Without Borders), one of their facilities received at least 28 bodies following the strike, including women and children. Another 180 individuals were treated for serious injuries, reinforcing the humanitarian impact of this "precise" military operation. International organizations weren't silent on this matter either. The European Union, spearheaded by top diplomat Josep Borrell, termed the strike "horrifying." The UN's human rights chief, Volker Turk, suggested the attack showed "no apparent change in the methods and means of warfare" used by Israel—methods that have already led to numerous civilian casualties in Gaza. These reactions highlight a global sense of urgency for accountability and better milita
