oh, that was, i got a recall, much other than it was really good. one day i, i, in the headlines this saturday is america celebrates the end of slavery on its soil . the supreme court rules us chocolate johns can't be sued for relying on forced child labor african farms. the canadian indigenous people are granted the right to use that traditional lanes and official documents for the indigenous rights. activists tells that it's not enough to make up a decades of cultural genocide because the government, oh, oh my, you know, it was the government who made the decision to take the kids to take her languages to take her cultures to take the ministers
2:01 am
apologize. so they feel deeply ashamed doctor review reveals that thousands of rape victims don't see just this victim support groups. those say it's too little to like, no, i don't think an apology alone is enough to heal to her as the victim survivors who have been so terribly let down. ah . you will ching c international. good morning. thanks for joining america's celebrating. it's new june teen holiday marking the end of slavery in the country, but it's supreme court. there's also just rule that force, child labor in africa is not something new. as chocolate john's culpable for his critic say, smacks of hypocrisy drinker explains the question, is slavery still something that troubles america today?
2:02 am
well, here comes the answer from the president. remember, the moral stain, the terrible toll. this slavery took on the country and continues to check. 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 kings 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 best play usa and car gill can't be food for child slavery. this ruling has disturbing implications for future victims of human rights abuses, seeking justice against businesses in u. s. cords. the ruling also says a dangerous precedence,
2:03 am
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 activist stores, sounding the alarm over the ivory coast effect, 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? well, only recently the u. s. department of labor funded a report which found that the cocoa industry in west africa was exploiting $1600000.00 charged laborers. e slaves without going into too many
2:04 am
legalistic details, the nation's highest court, pulled the brakes on the case pretty much because companies outside the us bear the responsibility for 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 isn't acceptable. 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 prevents it expects even more emotional words from them, from the athlete. the activists and the president on june 13th, but those who have been following this particular case won't stand the hypocrisy.
2:05 am
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 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 issue of human rights by allowing corporations have carte blanche to practice all kinds of terrible things all over the world. but money talks,
2:06 am
any big corporations, get the ear of politicians, so they're never held to account the way they should be. indigenous canadians to be given the right to use their traditional names on official documents as part of a government effort to atone the decades of force the simulation. we spoke with indigenous human rights activists, lorelei williams, who told us in no way makes up for the atrocities the government committed. i've been trying to get my own inventions name, but yeah, it hasn't happened yet. i was supposed to get when my mom passed away. 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 one small, small step that the government taking the government. oh, oh, much,
2:07 am
you know, it was the government who made the decision to take the kids to take her languages to take their culture, to take her name, to try to kill our candidates genocide against her 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 wall wall step. you know, a lot of our language is, are actually dying. a monday, the canadian government announced indigenous names can be used in the original spelling for identity and immigration documents. the 6 is after a report by the truth and reconciliation commission condemned cultural genocide schools, and called for greater inclusion and recognition of the dignity of indigenous people. the move comes after the grim discovery have hundreds of
2:08 am
a month graves at the sight of a former residential school shed more light on candidates colonial path. such schools were a part of a country wide network. i entered, assimilating indigenous children forcibly removing them from communities and forbidding them to perform cultural practices, physical and emotional abuse for prominence. canadian residential schools. 2 8 8 8 8 i. 8 8 every day, you mean patient fear did you have was that it wasn't you today that was going to be the target, the victim. you know, you weren't going to have to suffer any form of humiliation. he learn to cry anymore. he get harder. and yet you learn to shut down. ah, i couldn't talk
2:09 am
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 us with a strapping. you spoke it. within a year i lost all of it so i . 8 used to him, i dreaded caring at night the principal 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 one, not too many, many people for very long time. until i was 16, i held everything in and didn't tell anybody for 20 years. so rely, williams again says little is changed with indigenous people still exposed to systemic racism even today. this one school has definitely caught
2:10 am
a lot of attention around the world. there's so many vision is leaders that pass, woke 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, work grateful that these children are being found. we always knew that they were there, and it's not just those children. so this is lawana can start to see creates, is there so much systemic racism against ash del to be and this is exactly why are women and girls are indigenous women and girls are going 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. so the systemic racism has to stop
2:11 am
you. k minister's express shame over falling rate conviction rates and you review revealed thousands of victims were denied justice officials of apologize. time to this, those say it's not enough. and it's unusual for 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 hurt of the victims and survivors who have been so terribly let down. and i think that the real proof of the pudding will be in the eating, you know, the real difference. and survivors will come if and when the proper measures are taken to improve the situation for the future. the long awaited rate review reveals more than half of rape victims dropped the case because of fear only one and a half percent of them see the suspect to the tank. a charge. the review blames the
2:12 am
fairly run intrusive police probes court and investigative delays and inconsistent support. the survivors of the government says police and prosecutors will be scored to raise the number of cases reaching the court school cards will measure the quality of the work and whether the victims is satisfied. the 1st results will be published by december katie russell. again though, 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 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 felt the situation. nobody doubts that very, very many lives have been seriously impacted, negatively,
2:13 am
impacted by sexual violence and abuse. in recent years and, and this apology in this recognition and this review comes after very many years of campaigning. the yellow to district in the russian province of crimea has declared a state of emergency. i'm in severe flooding. that's left at least one person dead . and 11 others injured. hundreds have been evacuated from the city center after 2 ranch rang cause the river banks surrounding the local power stations being flooded . there are fears of a likely black count on local, posted a video on social media. you can see here that i'm building struggling to move 3 fast flowing muddy water the all to have ministrations us, the russian black sea fleet station nearby to provide emergency help was plugged in the district of a switch. so you're just telling people to stock up on bottle drinking water. we heard from a reporter in the city. i've been long and the situation has no stabilized. at
2:14 am
least the rain has stopped before that it rained for 11 hour straight. so the city center is under water, public transport has been paralyzed overall, more than a 1000 people are involved in the rescue operation. emergency crews are working alongside residents to help people as much as they can to more reverse breach their banks today. and we haven't stopped the flow yet. the head of the administration has been over seeing the operation of the streets of the city since early morning. we met her when we got here. she updated us in the situation. she has everything under her personal control and started fishermen. we can now say for certain that the weather has come down. but just yesterday you could only cross the road here if your 2 meters high or in a 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
2:15 am
floods and other locals help them to also provide moral support. the braver once jumped in the water to get people out and as a similar pitcher unfolding in the several other parts of crimea, total of 4 districts have now declared the state of emergency. the latest being fed dosier and kit off where there's been extensive flood damage. the city of catch is one of the worst defected. disaster struck there on wednesday night when hundreds of residential buildings were flooded, streets turned to rivers. cows were mostly submerged, more than a 1000 residence, fled the area, and staying in temporary shelter. the top official of crimea visited the city earlier to oversee the rescue operation. here's a video from catch this on viral on line 3 people. the scene swimming behind a boat that was carrying the head of the crime in administration. the official says that they were rescued, hoping vessels move through the flooded streets and they'll be given state awards for work to
2:16 am
a developing story. now 4 people have died after a short range and craft crash landed in camera, the region in central russia. the plane was carrying a group of sky divers. 4 more passengers are said to be in critical condition. another 11 have also been injured to pilots and to sky diving instructors are among the dead. according to local officials, the pilots reported an engine failure shortly before the accident. playing crushed into a forest will bring you updates as they come in. stella had this our on our table incentive had up to come to virtual bill, making it mandatory for buildings to be equipped with. so the panels, we ask people in berlin, what they think of it after the break i
2:17 am
the media a reflection of reality. the in a world transformed what will make you feel safer. type relation for community. you going the right way? where are you being somewhere? direct what is truth? what is in a 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 law plano energy and also use volcanoes as a metaphor to elucidate. so many of the big trends happening in geo politics and
2:18 am
finance ah, welcome back. dumbing u. s. senate report is reveal details of the systematic intelligence, computer cations failures that lead to the deadly capital hill siege. in january, it found low inforcement agencies including the f b i and it had intelligence about a possible attack one month prior, but dismissed. it was not credible on peace. kellum open picks up the story. that's been 6 months spent. 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?
2:19 am
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. need of 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 january. the 6th with 1st amendments, protected speech of limited credibility and acknowledge areas for improvement. in handling and dissemination of threats, 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
2:20 am
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 into agency coordination division. knew about social media posts calling for violence of the capital and 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 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 was 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,
2:21 am
his warning terrorist groups in afghanistan could expand the reach, shift to the u. s. pull out and pose an international threat. the issue was raised in a sanitary. how would you rate the, the likelihood of international terrorist organizations like al qaeda and isis regenerating inside of afghanistan and presenting a threat to our homeland, our allies? i would assess it as medium. i would also say center that, that it would take possibly 2 years for them to develop that capability. fair enough, gentlemen, 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. and of the pull out the already signs the u. s. bank african governments losing control of the country as the tunnel banners reportedly captured
2:22 am
at least 27 districts. since the start of last month, the minutes in groups of out to take the entire country and establish an islamic and the roots of afghan. this then, in a pool, president biden pledge to remove all us troops by september 11th. that was pushed back from may 1st, the earlier deadline negotiated by donald trump and the telephone in march before the new done long was set by bite. and the pentagon promised that the u. s. won't undertake a hasty will, disorderly withdrawal, and it would depend on the security situation in the country. and talk to brian becca, think some senior figures in america are looking for a pretext to stay in the canister. we see here is a tug of war between those 2 are insisting that the u. s. they for ever an afghan is in and those who feel that the war is not winnable. it's an 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
2:23 am
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 not to complete that with the isis or isis is in afghanistan because of the us invasion of afghanistan. there was no isis prior to 2000. and one and kite is really weaken for so obviously the military again. yes, there might be a need to continue us military presence. yes, there's, and we em state a medium warning that i 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 those who say, look, it's time to end the war the senator berlin has passed the solar right to require the installation of solar panel. so the power panels on the buildings roofs, the nor applies to new buildings is what is existing ones in case of roof
2:24 am
renovation. it's part of a plan to cover a quarter of the capital of electricity needs with solar energy by the 2050 law set to apply from 2023. that includes hefty penalties for any violations, but it's face the barrage of criticism, both from the opposition as well as the construction community. the present law will act as a break, especially in the field of renovation. many home owners will think twice about whether roof innovation is actually necessary if they will be left with additional costs. berlin's ruling left wing coalition says the law will take a big step towards climate utility by tapping into the potential of city race them . besides the solar act will also create future proof jobs, especially in the areas of planning and craft opinion on the streets of berlin. though is divided i'm not going to go with the buyer. it's a good way to help protected climates, 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. personally,
2:25 am
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 there are new regulations connected to green and nicole politics in germany that we should be getting. i know that it will cost money initially, but i think eventually we will be better off by investing enough future. maybe a do should be should be probably the system from government. people that have base that maybe don't have the money. it would be nice if all rooftop 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 a good thing. in principle, i support the idea, but i did. politicians are always coming up with things that hardly make any sense . ok, your state, don't forget to check out the road. the new stories that we have covered on a website had t r t dot com. mm. ah,
2:26 am
2:27 am
to survive and interrogation, you've gotta be ready. you're definitely don't want to be going to trial in a jump. so one cups, you're more likely to walk free. if you're rich and guilty, you are, if you're poor and you got 2 eyes and 2 ears and one now. so you should be seeing and hearing a whole lot more than you're saying, if you don't take that advice, usually going to dig yourself a whole me . i the who's

2:29 am
week on the geneva meeting between president putin and biden. although biden, unlike putin censored journalists from his press conference, depending on where they came from, most bizarrely, maybe from what was described as a constructive meeting was biden's contention that the usa doesn't interfere with the governance of foreign countries. joining me now from washington, d. c, as someone who well knows this history, co author of all of us, jones untold history of the united states. revisit pete, it could be that thanks so much for coming on. so what did you make of him saying, well, what if everyone thought that america the united states interfered in the governance of other countries, more or less, he clearly hasn't read your books or senior films. well, a detailed a couple whoppers there. he said, how would it be united states reviewed by the rest of the world is interfering with the election of other countries and everybody knew it was starting with the founding of the cia and 1947 the united states has been if this year and get
