3:01 am
deeply ashamed after review reveal thousands of rape victims. don't see justice, victim support groups say it's too little to like to know. i don't, the apology alone is enough to heal, to her victims and survivors who have been so terribly let down ah, by the 30. good morning. thanks so much for joining us. this is america's celebrating, it's new june 13th holiday, hit marks, the end of slavery in the country. but it's supreme court has also just ruled force, child labor in africa, is not something us chocolate. john's culpable for which critics say smacks of hypocrisy and drinker, explains the question, is slavery still something that troubles america today?
3:02 am
well, here comes the answer from the president. remember, the moral stain, the terrible toll, his 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 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 giant's best play, usa and car gill can't be sued for child slavery. this ruling has disturbing implications. the future victims of human rights abuses the king justice against businesses and us courts. the ruling also says a dangerous precedence,
3:03 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 founding 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 tastes 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 char laborers, e slaves without going into too many legalistic details. the nation's highest court
3:04 am
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 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 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 we are celebrate in the end of slavery,
3:05 am
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,
3:06 am
any 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 their traditional names on official documents as part of a government effort to atone for decades of forced the simulation. he spoke to indigenous human rights activists, lorelei williams. he told us it in no way makes up for the atrocities the government committed. i've been trying to get my own individual 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,
3:07 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. what 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 by this is this wall wall step. you know, a lot of our language is, are actually dying. a monday, the canadian government announced that indigenous names can be used in the original spelling for identity and immigration documents that 6 years after a report by the truth and reconciliation commission condemned cultural genocide at schools and cooper, gray through inclusion and recognition of the dignity of indigenous people of the
3:08 am
move comes after thee grim discovery of hundreds of unmarked graves. at the sight of a former residential school, they shut whole i to encounter this colonial past. such schools were part of a country wide network aimed at assimilating indigenous children by forcibly removing them from communities and forbidding them from performing cultural practices. physical and emotional abuse were prominent canadian residential schools . 2 8 on. 8 8 the. 8 8 day you may see it was that it wasn't due today. it was going to be the target, the victim. you know, you weren't going to have to sort of any clean humiliation he learned to cry anymore. get harder. and yet you learn to shut down. oh the i couldn't talk
3:09 am
a word of english. i talked creek and i was abused for that hit and made to try to talk english. i lost my language, the threatened to the strapping. you spoke it within a year, i lost all of it. so i used to him, i in the caring and 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 actually take advantage of me and abuse me. not long. 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. ly williams again says little is changed with indigenous people still exposed to systemic racism even today. this one school has
3:10 am
definitely caught a lot of attention around the world. there's so many different leaders that pack 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 lawana can start to see creates their so much systemic racism against dell to be. and this is exactly why our women and girls are indigenous women and girls are going cmt murdered at a high rate. you know, i went in business woman, we're still at the bottom here in canada and either our own land,
3:11 am
solar systemic racism has to stop you. k ministers have expressed shame over falling rate conviction rates, and you review revealed thousands of victims were denied justice officials of apologize. an activist say it's not enough its own 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, to her as a victim of either who have been so terribly let down. and i think the real proof of the pudding will be in the eating, you know, the real difference to because of i've, as will come if and when the proper measures are taken to improve the situation for the future. with a long awaited review, revealed more than half of the victims dropped the case. many out of fear only one
3:12 am
and a half percent of them see the suspect to the tank. a charge review blames the fairly wrong, intrusive police probes court and investigative delays and inconsistent support. the survivors, the government says police and prosecutors will be scored to raise the number of cases reaching court scorecards will measure the quality of the work and whether victims is satisfied. the 1st results are set to 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, 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 aren't going to, on their own. be able to solve the situation. nobody doubts that very,
3:13 am
very many lives have been seriously impacted negatively impacted by sexual violence . and. ready abuse in recent years, and in this apology. and this recognition in this review comes after very many years of campaigning for districts in crime in have declared a state of emergency amid severe flooding, there's left at least one person dead and 18 others injured. almost 2000 people have been evacuated from spot emergency services. the with me on the line to correspond the thing is done a phase now in crimea. ag. good morning. just how about the situation
3:14 am
while neil, in fact we do to some of the people who had fled the affected areas and well each and every one of them has told me that they do not recall anything of this scale. not even close in facts in the lifetime, the things that we have seen coming out of towns of casual yards for some towns, in fact small towns around them. they have been well quite apocalyptic. just told districts of towns submerged under water, cars floating around as if they were just, you know, motor boat and so on and so forth. so it has been quite unprecedented that people have been very severely affected by this. they weren't ready, of course, because he just con, you know, prepare for something like that. there are homes ruined, some lives completely going down the drain, excuse the pun, and well, right now, thousands of emergency work is working, in fact, are trying to restore,
3:15 am
to bring back to life, to bring back to some stability these areas. the governance of crimea has visited both of the major towns effected was by the flooding. here's what he had to say. for peace care, the situation is disastrous. in many homes that are on the low lands have been flooded by water from almost the entire city of turn. and unfortunately, the water is still up to the waist for the for now, our goal is to help everyone to that. no one is left to faces, crisis alone. so no under statements, no mincing of words on behalf of the crime in the government and out the res, not a peninsula wide, but a very large scale state of emergency declared here again, thousands of rescue work as well tirelessly overnight trying to bring these
3:16 am
areas back into some operational stage and the while the, the, this is just another problem. mounting on top of the people's shoulders in pry me because previously people here had experienced a shortage of, well they basically they lacked an access to enough portable, drinkable and safe, clean water. and now that the rains have had, this is what you, brainy and official had to say night. so you know that the crime in peninsula has been asking for water for a very long time. and there's so much water there today that they don't even know what to do with it. and yesterday encouraged him today and y'all to us, unfortunately, this happened there. the lord god gave them too much water in one gold. so well, some very bitter sarcasm at the expense of people whose lives have been well completely washed away by the flood. now we are hoping to travel very shortly to
3:17 am
these areas and observe the efforts of the russian emergency ministry as they are trying to help people cope with their loss and bring their lives back on track voting from crimea. that's all these english dollars. thank you for listening to a developing story. now, 4 people have died after a short rain, jack rap crash landed in camera of a region us as central russia. the plane in question was carrying a group of sky divers. 4 more passengers are reported to be in a critical condition. another 11 also been injured to pilots and to sky diving instructors were among the dead board into local officials. the pilots reported an engine failure shortly before the accident. the plane crashed in a forest on the way back to the field. so on the way for you here are not see berlin sentence adopted controversial bill making it mandatory for buildings to be
3:18 am
3:19 am
will 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 finance the the, the, the, ah, welcome back. the dumbing us senate reporters reveal details of the systematic intelligence and communications failures leading up to the deadly capital hill sage in january, and found that law enforcement agencies, including the f b. i had intelligence about a possible attack while months prior, but dismissed. it is not credible scale. morgan has the story that's been 6 months
3:20 am
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? 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 riots. 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
3:21 am
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 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 on july, the 6th, including a plot to breach the capital, the online sharing of maps of the capital complex, this 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
3:22 am
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 is warning the terrorist groups enough canister and could expand the reach out to the u. s. pullouts and posted international threat issue was raised in a senate hearing. how 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 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
3:23 am
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 the head of the pull out there already signed the u. s. bank to ask our government is losing control of the country. as the tele buns reportedly captured at least $27.00 districts since the thought of last month, the military grieves found to take the entire country and established in islamic camera of afghanistan. back in april, president joe bought in place to remove all us troops by september. 11th was pushed back from may 1st. the earlier deadline negotiated by donald trump and the telephone in march before the new deadline was set by bide and the pentagon. the promise that the u. s. won't take a hasty or disorderly withdrawal and that it would depend on the security situation in the country. anti war act to respond back. i think some senior figures in america are looking for a pretext to stay enough canister. we see here is
3:24 am
a tug of war between those 2 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 not 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 really weakened 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 i'll 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,
3:25 am
and those who say, look, it's time to end the war. the sen, berliners passed the solar ranks. it requires the installation of solar power panels on buildings, roofs. the lower applies to new buildings, as well as existing ones in case of roof renovation. it's part of a plan to cover a quarter of the capitals. electricity needs with solar energy by 2050. the laurie sent to apply and 2023 and includes half the penalties for violations was face the barrel of criticism, both from the opposition as well as the construction community. the present law will act as a break, especially in the field for innovation. many home owners will think twice about whether roof renovation is actually necessary, as they will be left with additional costs or berlin's ruling. leftwich and coalition says the law will take a big step towards climate neutrality. by tapping into the potential of city roofs emphasize the solar act will also create future proof jobs,
3:26 am
especially in the areas of planning and craft. depending on the streets of berlin is divided. not because it's a good way to help protect a 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. personally, i'm against it because i don't support the permanent regulations related to the environment and nicole politics. i'm 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 some money initially. but i think eventually we will be better off by leasing enough future. maybe they should, they should be solving the system from government. people that have 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 recouped, which is a good thing. in principle,
3:27 am
i support the idea, but i do. politicians are always coming up with things that hardly make any sense though it is, you are buying up today with all the latest news headlines. i will return with more updates on top stories for you in 30 minutes. me the while the make know, you know, borders and the blind to tease you as emerge. we don't, we go to the back seen the whole world leads to take action and be ready. people judge, you know, come crisis,
3:28 am
we can do better, we should be better. one is contributing each in their own way, but we also know that this crisis will not go on forever. the challenge is paid for the response has been massive. so many good people are helping us. it makes us feel very proud that we are in need together. in the is your media a reflection of reality? in a world transformed what will make you feel safe for tyson lation, whole community. are you going the right way or are you being that somewhere? direct? what is true?
3:29 am
what is in the world corrupted. you need to defend the join us in the depths or remain in the shallows. ah, in join me every 1st day on the alec salmon show and i'll be speaking to guests in the world, the politics, sport, business and show business. i'll see you then me the imax kaiser. that is the kaiser report. we're going to talk a lot about volcano energy and also used volcanoes as a metaphor to elucidate so many of the big trends happening in geo politics and the
3:30 am
finance stacy. well, there volcanic eruption is happening in the mind shift that is happening. and the mind shift that is underway is showing us the difference between good money and bad money. so the good money is bitcoin, and we're seeing that change the mindset of the people who adopt it like el salvador and like all the other latin american countries now that want to also adopt bitcoin. like the hedge fund managers, like paul tutor jones, who's out on television banging away on big wine and talking about the relentless optimism and the positive future. and how honest it is compared to the dishonesty of let's look at the bad money. the 1st chart, federal reserve balance sheet top 8 trillion dollars for the 1st time. this is fed data.
