1:00 am
the me, the, the, the, the, the headlines this saturday as the america celebrates the end of slavery on its soil. the supreme court rules, the chocolate john's company, sued for relying on forced child labor, an african farms. the canadian indigenous people granted the right to use that traditional names and official documents, but an indigenous rights activist tells is not enough to make up a decades of cultural genocide. is a government oh oh my, you know, it was the government who made the decision to take the kids to take her languages to take their cultures to take her name. so you can minister,
1:01 am
so they feel deeply ashamed and apologize after you review, reveal to thousands of re victims. don't see just this victim support group. so say sorry is not enough to know. i don't think apology alone is enough to heal to her. the victims and survivors who have been so terribly let down. ah, by the thanks so much for joining good morning. this is r t international american chocolate corporations, including this lay are not responsible for child slavery on african farms. they buy cocoa from that's the ruling of the u. s. supreme court came on the eve of the june 18th celebrations. joe bon recently signed a law making june 19th,
1:02 am
the new federal holiday to mark the end of slavery in america. but as any particular explains the holiday may have already been split. question is, slavery still something that troubles america today? well, here comes the answer from the president. remember, the moral stain, the terrible toll, the slavery took on the country and continues to take. so what's there to be done about that? as an athlete, you can take the knee and the name of black lives matter. as an activist, you can campaign for the reparations, for the ancestors of those who suffered or were killed as president, you can declare, june the 19th, or june pings as federal holiday. that's exactly what the president did earlier this week. as the supreme court, you know, what else happened? at the same time? the u. s. supreme court ruled american food giants, dest play, usa, and car gill,
1:03 am
can't be food for child slavery. this ruling has disturbing implications. the future victims of human rights abuses, seeking justice against businesses and us courts. this ruling also says a dangerous precedence, giving corporations impunity of a profiting from human rights abuses. it's an old and disturbing story that we've already reported on a group of african men demanded compensation from us corporations that get their cocoa in africa. they claimed they've been trafficked from one country to another as children, and forced to work as slaves and horrendous conditions on coca farms. the activists are sounding the alarm over the ivory coast. a fact to think of the country exports more cocoa than anyone else on the planet now providing about 2 thirds of the world's supply. which makes it very likely that the regular chocolate bar you eat taste of illegal child labor. but what if these accounts are fake?
1:04 am
well, only recently the u. s. department of labor funded a report which found that the cocoa industry in west africa was exploiting one or in 6000000 char laborers. i eat slaves without going into too many legalistic details. the nation's highest court pulled the brakes on the case pretty much because companies outside the us bear the responsibility for the mass abuse. you might want to ask why not at least look into the case? well, that's how things are. that's how the law works. the big businesses will probably keep repeating things like or i'm 99 percent. sure they will. child labor is unacceptable. that is why we are working so hard to prevent it. cargoes work to keep child labor out of the cocoa supply chain isn't wavering. we do not tolerate the use of child labor in our operations or supply chains and we're working every day to prevent it. expect even more emotional words from them, from the athlete,
1:05 am
the activists and the president on june 13th. but those who have been following this particular case won't stand the hypocrisy we are celebrate in the end of slavery, but american companies are still profiting off of slave labor. so it's up to you to celebrate or to reflect on the toll that joe biden mentioned. it needs to be illegal for american corporations to do business with anyone who uses child labor because they always say, well, they didn't work for us, it wasn't our farm. you can't blame us. this has to be tackled legislatively, other corporations to do great harm to people. they will, especially in the past year, they'll say black lives. 5 matter or someone will take a need or they claim that they have an anti racist workplace when they don't. and this is one of many ways in which the u. s. is hypocritical on the
1:06 am
issue of human rights by. c allowing corporations have carte blanche to practice all kinds of terrible things all over the world. but money talks and the big corporations get the ear of politicians, so they're never held to account the way they should be. indigenous canadians have been given the right to use the traditional names on official documents as part of a government effort to atone for decades long forced assimilation. we spoke to indigenous human rights activists, lorelei williams, who told us, in no way makes up for the way the for the, for the atrocities the government has committed against the indigenous population. i've been trying to get my own indigenous name, but yeah, it hasn't happened yet. i was supposed to get when my mom passed away,
1:07 am
but you know, in that moment it was just too hard for me. i had to leave my moms as or when the kids were taken to residential school. they actually were numbered. they, they had to go by numbers just why a small small step that the government is taking the government. oh, oh, much, you know, it was the government who made the decision to take the kids to take her languages to take our culture, to take our name, to try to kill our candidates genocide against our people. with the discovery of the 215 children class, they can't hide the truth any more. so i guess they're trying to make up for what they did. but this is a small, small step. you know, a lot of her languages are actually dying. on monday, the canadian government announced indigenous names into original spelling can be
1:08 am
used for identity and immigration documents that succeeds after a report by the truth and reconciliation commission condemned to cultural genocide at schools and co for greater inclusion and recognition of the dignity of indigenous people. so that comes after the grim discovery of hundreds of a month, great use of the science of a former residential school which shed more light on candidates. colonial past schools were a part of the country wide network came to the simulating indigenous children forcibly removing them from the communities and forbidding them to perform cultural practices. physical and emotional abuse for prominence. canadian residential schools. 2 8 8 8 8 the. 8 do you mean sincere? did you have was it wasn't you today?
1:09 am
it was going to be the target, the victim. you know, you weren't going to have to suffer any form of humiliation. he learned to cry anymore. you get harder, and yet you learn to shut down. ah, i couldn't talk a word of english. i talked cree and i was abused for that hit and made to try to talk english. i lost my language. they threatened with the strapping you spoke it within a year, i lost all of it. i. 8 used to him, i tried to trying to print to, to take him to the hospital. he didn't. after about 2 weeks, my brother was in so much pain. he was going out of his mind. i pleaded with the principal for days to take him to the doctor. ah, they started to sexually take advantage of me and abuse me, not long. not too many,
1:10 am
many people for a very long time until i was 16. i held everything in and didn't tell anybody for 20 years. lorelei williams again says the littlest changed with indigenous people still exposed to systemic racism even today. this one school has definitely caught a lot of attention around the world. there's so many different leaders that packed up about this i find when we we speak up about there, we have to repeat herself over and over and over again. and it gets tiring. it's hard, we're grateful that these children are being bound. we always knew that they were there, and it's not just those children. so this is yolanda can start to seek grades there . so much systemic racism against ash del to be
1:11 am
and this is exactly why our women and girls are indigenous women and girls are going make cmt murdered at a high rate. you know, as an in business woman, we're still at the bottom here in canada. and these are our own lands, solar systemic racism have to stop you came ministers, have express shane over falling, rape conviction rates. and you review reveal thousands of victims were denied. justice officials have apologized activists say that's not enough and it's on usual . so government to express this kind of shame and admit and recognize the deep failings in the criminal justice system. but no, i don't think an apology alone is enough to heal the heads of the victims and survivors who have been so terribly let down. and i think that the real proof of
1:12 am
the pudding will be in the eating, you know, the real difference, the victim survivors will come if and when the proper measures are taken to improve the situation for the future. the long awaited rate review revealed more than half of the victims dropped their case because of fear and the 1.5 percent of them see the suspect to the tech a charge. the review blamed the failure on intrusive police probes court an investigative delays and inconsistent supports for survivors. the government says police and prosecutors will be scored to raise the number of cases reaching court school cards will measure the quality of the work and where the victims are satisfied. the 1st results will be published by december. katie russell again says short term measures aren't enough. other victims and survivors are likely to feel quite angry actually as if an apology is too little too late. because for them, of course, they haven't got criminal justice. they can't potentially been re traumatized by
1:13 am
the system. we know we talking about a long term systemic structural issue, a wholesale issue so, so small individual measures are going to, on their own be able to solve the situation. nobody doubts that very, very many lives have been seriously impacted, negatively, impacted by sexual violence and abuse. in recent years and, and this apology and this recognition and this review comes after very many years of campaigning. the yell to district in the russian province of crimea has declared a state of emergency amid severe flooding, which is left at least one person dead and 11 others injured. hundreds have been evacuated from the city center after torrential rains caused a river to burst its banks. the area surrounding the local power stations been inundated their office of a likely black count, one local,

1:15 am
now say for certain that the weather has come down. but just yesterday you could only cause the rod here if you were to meet or hide or in the special vehicle. there were turned into a real river with cars floating around the military, actually very professionally. they've provided all necessary aid. i sold the emergency services rescued to families who are trapped inside their homes by the floods and other locals help them to also provide a moral support. the braver was jumped in the water to get people out. and there's a similar picture unfolding in several other parts of crimea. a total of 4 districts have now declared the state of emergency, the latest being fear, dusty and kit of where there's been extensive flood damage. the city of kent is one of the worst effected disaster struck their wednesday night when hundreds of residential buildings were flooded, streets turned to rivers. cars were mostly submerged. more than

1:17 am
a world transformed what will make you feel safe for the tycer relation community you going the right way or are you being that somewhere which direction? what is true? what is faith? in the world corrupted? you need to defend the join us in the depths or remain in the shallows. ah, we're going to talk a lot about wild clean energy and also use volcanoes as a metaphor to elucidate. so many of the big trends happening in geo politics and finance
1:18 am
ah, okay, let's bring some news as just come in for people have died after short range, acura crash landed in rushes because bass region, the plane was carrying a group of sky divers. 4 more passengers said to be in a critical condition. another 11 also been injured. according to the general prosecutor's office. the pilots reported an engine failure. shortly before the accident happened. we'll give you up to date with any more details that come in. a dumbing u. s. senate reports reveal details of the systematic intelligence and communications failures leading to the deadly capital hill siege in january and found the law enforcement agencies including the f b. i had intelligence about a possible attack one month before and, but it was dismissed as not credible onto the scale of open picks of the story. its
1:19 am
been 6 months sent a mob storm the u. s. capital on january 6th. and while the investigation is ongoing, some politicians say they want answers and they have some interesting ways of saying it. and i certainly hope that our premier law enforcement organization is not actually working to violate federal law. so why bring the f b i into this? well, there's a theory floating around that the f, b, i infiltrated the protesters and basically arranged the whole thing and then shifted the blame on to donald trump and his supporters. is there any possible truth in this? so let's dig deeper. it's certainly worth finding out why this has become a popular explanation of events. earlier this week, the u. s. senate just published a big report on the riot. here is some of what they found, needed the f b. i know the u. s. department of homeland security deemed online posts calling for violence of the capital is credible in testimony before the committee's representatives from both agencies noted that much of the rhetoric online prior to
1:20 am
january. the 6th was 1st amendments, protected speech of limits of credibility and acknowledge areas for improvement in handling and dissemination of threat information from social media and online message boards to enhance law enforcement and intelligence agencies abilities to counter the threats. now we find out they did indeed have lots of information. they just didn't think it was relevant. the report goes on the united states, capital police, again, gathering information about the events plan for jenny, the 6 in mid december 2020, through open source collection tips from the public and other sources. the u. s. c . p. intelligence and in the agency coordination division. knew about social media posts calling for violence at the capital journey of the 6, including a plot to breach the capital, the online sharing of maps of the capital complex as tunnel systems, and other specific threats of violence. yet the i, c, d, did not convey the full scope of known information to us. c, p, leadership rank and file offices or law enforcement partners. so the secret service
1:21 am
and police intelligence were aware of a possible but did not do anything and did not share this information. how could one be aware of the fact that a group of people is planning on storming the u. s. capital building and do nothing . looks like this report raises more questions than answers, kaleb mop and r t new york. the pentagon is warning the terrace groups in ghana sun could expand the reach out to the u. s. pullouts impose an international threat. the issue was raised in a sanitary. i would you rate the, the likelihood of international terrorist organizations like al kayden, isis regenerating inside of afghanistan and presenting a threat to our homeland, our allies. i would associate as medium. i would also say center that, that it would take possibly 2 years for them to develop that capability. fair enough, gentlemen,
1:22 am
i concur with that and i think that if certain other things happen, if there was a collapse of the government or dissociate disillusion of the afghan security forces, that risk would obviously increase. but right now it's a medium and, and a about 2 years or so ahead of the pull out there already signs that the u. s. bank dos can government losing control of the country as the taliban is reportedly captured at least $27.00 districts since the beginning of last month. the months in groups found to take the entire country and establish and islamic everett of afghanistan, back in april, president biden place to remove all us to spy september 11th. that was push back from my 1st area deadline negotiated by donald trump and the taliban. acknowledged before the new deadline was set by by the pentagon and promised that the us won't undertake a hasty will, disorderly withdrawal. and that it would depend on the security situation in the country and to or to respond back. i think some senior figures in the us are looking for a pretext to stay and have canister. we see here is
1:23 am
a tug of war between those who are insisting that the u. s. they for ever an afghan is then and those who feel that the war is not winnable, it's drain. it's not going to be. it's not going to alter the outcome. and they also make a differentiation between the taliban and should the television become the new government? yes, it would be the same kind of government, maybe with some slight variation from the way it was before september 11. but i think it's important to complete that with isis or isis is in afghanistan because of the us invasion of afghanistan. there was no isis prior to 2001. and our kite is this really weekend for so obviously the military again. yes. there might be a need to continue us military presence. yes there's and we em stay a medium warning that kind or i can come back. but again, i think there's a tug of war here between those who want to have wherever war in afghanistan and
1:24 am
those who say, look, it's time to end the war. the senate of berlin has passed the solar ranks requiring the installation of solar power panels on buildings, roofs. the lower applies to new buildings, as well as existing ones. in cases refer innovation as part of a plan to cover a quarter of the capitol of electricity needs with solar energy. by 2050, the lord is set to apply for 2023. it includes hefty penalties for violations, but his face the barrage of criticism, both from the opposition as well as the construction community. the present law will act as a brake, especially in the field of renovation. many home owners will think twice about where the roof renovation is actually necessary, as they will be left with additional costs. berlin's ruling left wing coalition and well, the says the law will take a big step towards climate neutrality. by tapping into the potential of city roofs,
1:25 am
they emphasize the solar ranks. will also create future proof jobs, especially in the areas of planning and craft opinion on the streets of berlin is divided. not gonna because it's a good way to help protect the climate. and if we can use our roof services to do that, it's a good idea. you can use them yourself to reduce your own electricity bill. sort of personally, i'm against it because i don't support the permanent regulations related to the environment and nicole politics and not ready to pay more, as long as they're a new regulations connected to green and necco politics in germany. that we should be getting that money initially, but i think eventually we will be better off by investing enough future. maybe they should be should be assistance from government. people that have base that maybe don't have the money. it would be nice if all reduce had solar panels. we would produce much more energy with them. it would be great, it will pay off $1.00 day in 10 or 15 years. investments will be recruit, which is
1:26 am
a good thing. in principle, i support the idea, but i do politicians are always coming up the things that hardly make any sense hello brings you up to daily saturday morning, join me for and half of them. mm . i 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
1:27 am
with artificial intelligence, we'll summoning the demon a robot must protect his phone existences, excuse me . so to torture polish said, are you going to, can he better than the human russell? but i hope so, but over the, over the years, just sort of the motion learning a lot of stories going on in the course of action. mister bob rhodes. i position me. we think he might be
