hello, took a puzzle. stephanie was on the shore. so please, please. ah, ah, that long descent today america celebrates the end of its slavery on its soil. the supreme court rules us chocolate johns can't be sued for long on for child labor, african folks they didn't. indigenous people are granted the right to use that traditional knife and official documents that i'm indigenous rights activists tells us there's not enough to make up for decades of cultural genocide. the government, both it all my you know, it was the government who made the decision to take the kids to take languages to take are cultures to take the u. k. ministers apologize saying the feel deeply

ashamed after a review reveal thousands of great victims. don't see justice can support groups, so say it's too little too late. to know, i don't, the apology alone is enough to heal the heads of the victims of either to have been so terribly let down devastating floods. the warm person died in 18 injured in southern rushes, crimea province, authorities of because of the state of emergency, with thousands evacuated from the ah, by there, thanks so much for joining us here on our t international americas celebrating it's new june teens, holiday marketing, the end of slavery in the country, but it, supreme court has also just ruled that force child labor in africa is not something

us chocolate. john's culpable for which critics say smacks of hypocrisy. really, patricia explains. 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, can't be sued for child slavery. this ruling has disturbing implications for future

victims of human rights abuses, seeking justice against businesses in u. s. cords. 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 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 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 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 charged 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 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 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, 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, any big corporations, get the ear of politicians. so they're never held to account the way they should be . digital canadians have being given the right to use the traditional names on official documents as part of a government effort to atone decades of force dissimulation. we spoke with indigenous human rights activists, lorelei williams, who told us, sit in no way makes up for the atrocities the government has 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 why a small small staff that the government 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 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 by this is a wall wall step. you know, a lot of our language is, are actually dying. 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,

schools and co for greater inclusion and recognition of the dignity of indigenous people. now the move comes to the following. the grim discovery have hundreds of amongst graves at the size of a former residential school shed. more light on candidates. colonial pass schools were a part of a country wide net. were again to the simulating indigenous children by forcibly removing them from communities and forbidding them from performing cultural practices. physical and emotional abuse were prominent at kennedy's residential schools. 8 8 on. 8 8 the. 8 day you will see it was good. it wasn't you today. it was going to be the target, the victim. you know, you weren't going to have to suffer any humiliation. he learned to cry and you get harder and yet you learn to shut down. oh,

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, threatened with its dropping it broke it. within a year, i lost all of it. with him i tried to principle to take him to the hospital. he didn't, after about 2 weeks, my brother was in so much pain. he was growing up his mind. i pleaded with the principal for days to take him to the doctor. i 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. lorelei williams again says little is 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 vision leaders that pass, woke up about this. i find when we, we speak up about their 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 dell to be and this is exactly why are women and girls are indigenous women and girls to hear it are going 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 land. so the systemic racism has to stop you gave ministers of expressed shame over falling, raped conviction rights. and you review, reveal thousands of victims were denied justice officials of apologized that activists 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 heads 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 to victims and survivors will come if and when the proper measures are taken to improve the situation for the future of the long awaited

review reveal more than half of the victims drop the case money out of fear, only $1.00 and a half percent of them see the suspect. the tax charge, the review blames failure 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, cor, scorecards will measure the quality of the work, and whether victims are satisfied. those results of the pop published by december. however, 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 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 the apology in this recognition. and this review comes after very many years of campaigning for districts in crimea have declared a state of emergency amid severe flooding left at least one person dead, 18 others injured. almost 2000 people have been evacuated from the homes by emergency services. the with me we do to some of the people who had fled the affected areas as well. each and every

one of them has told me that they do not recall anything of this scale not even close. in fact, in the lifetime, the things that we have seen coming out of towns of casual yards or 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 boats 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. their homes ruin some lives completely going down the drain, excused upon and well right now, thousands of emergency work is working, in fact, are trying to restore to bring back to life, to bring back to some stability these areas. the governance of crimea has visited

both of the major towns affected was by the flooding. here's what he had to say to pick up for peace care. the situation is disastrous in many homes. some of those that are on the low lands have been flooded by water from almost the entire city of turn ships. and unfortunately, the water is still up to the waist for the for now, our goal is to help everyone that no one is left to face this crisis alone. so no under statements, no mincing words on behalf of the crime in the government and out there is not a peninsula white, but a very large scale of emergency declared here. again, thousands of rescue work as well tirelessly overnight trying to bring these 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 crimea, because previously people here had experienced a shortage of what they basically the lack of 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 to show. you know that the grey mean 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 goal 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 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 to a developing story. now 4 people have died hatteras short rein,

gentra crash landed and camera of a region in central russia. the plane was carrying a group of sky divers. 5 more passengers are said to be in critical condition with another 10 also injured. 2, pilots and 2 skydiving instructors were among those killed, according to local officials, the pilots reported an engine fairly shortly before the accident. so that here in our t, berlin, senate adults a controversial bill making it mandatory for building building be equipped with solar panels, will be asking people and they will, they think of it after this break. ah, i this is your media a reflection of reality in

a world transformed what will make you feel safer? tycer lation, whole community. are you going the right way or are you being somewhere direct? what is true? 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 law plano energy and also use volcanoes as a metaphor to elucidate. so many of the big trends happening in geo politics and finance. ah,

back had dumbing us senate reporters reveal details of the systematic intelligence and communications failures leading up to the deadly capital hill siege in january . if and law enforcement agencies including the f b. i had intelligence about a possible attack one month before they dismissed. it is not credible elim open as the story. it's been 6 months spent. a mob storm the u. s. capital on january 6. 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 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 began 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 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 warning the terrorist groups in afghanistan could expand the reach shift to the u. s. pull out and posing international practice and issue that was raised in a senate hearing. how would you rate the, the likelihood of international terrorist organizations like al qaeda and i says,

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, 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 can security forces, that risk would obviously increase. but right now i'd say medium and a about 2 years or so. and had of the pull out there are ready signs the us buying task gung government losing control of the country as the taliban is reportedly counted should at least 27 district. since the start of last month, the mincing group is found to take the entire country and establish and islamic amber of afghan. in april, president biden pledge to remove all us troops by september 11th. that was pushed back from may 1st. the deadline negotiated by donald trump,

the taliban in march before the new deadline was set by, by the pentagon promise that the us wouldn't undertake a hasty or disorderly withdrawal. and that everything would depend on the security situation in the country and to or activist brian becker thinks some senior figures in the u. s. looking for a pretext to stay in afghanistan. we see here is 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 a 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 the 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 a we m say 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 sen, berlin is passed, the solar right. 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 is spun of a plan to cover a quarter of the capitals. electricity needs with solar energy by 2050. the law set to apply from 2023. it includes hefty penalties for violations, but it's face to borrows of criticism, but from the opposition as well as the construction community. the present law will

act as a brake, especially in the field for innovation. 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 that the law will take a big step towards climate neutrality by tapping into the potential of city bruce. they emphasize the solar act will also create future proof jobs, especially in the areas of planning and craft that opinion on the streets of berlin is divided in 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. but i 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 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 to be that baby to have the money. it would be nice if all readers 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 a good thing principal, i support the idea, but i do. politicians are always coming up with things that hardly make any sense something's wrong to today. we do have plenty of new stories covered for you though, and you can check them out my heading to a website off you dot com. mm. ah,

[000:00:00;00] excuse me. the, the news i'm actually here, we're going

a little uncovering the stories. the powerful do want you to know coming up in the show, how to be in the united states, reviewed by the rest of the world as interfering with the elections directly in other countries. and everybody knew it. does president biden not know the until history of the united states? we talk to one of the writers of the seminal all of a stone documentary series about biting putin in geneva. the myths, mistakes and mystery, and is today merck, 9 years since we're giving founder julian, it's on sort political asylum in london, secretary and embassy only to be tortured in england, according to the un. what is you see the arguable war crimes he uncovered in a week of more u. k. u. s. a. u armed israeli strikes on the siege garza, we trace from the african war logs to columbia with independent journalist anthony lo and told us a more coming up in today's going undergrad. but 1st global media centered this 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 professor peter could make pizza. thanks so much for coming on. so what did you make of him saying, well, whatever rule and 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 elections 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 elections all over the planet ever since,

including in russia. but the 1st effort was in france. i'm francis in italy. us have been involved in not only hearing and elections, but in overthrowing. busy governments including pieces the democratically elected, very popular governments. of course, the cases like iran in 1953 are just mistaken goal. and we're paying the part price that ever since, or guatemala in 1954. we're paying the price that i but this is happening all over the planet, but he says, what does people? well, people's do know it. the there was a recent call by the association of democracies, which that asked which country it asked 50000 people in 53 countries who poses the greatest rep to democracy in their countries. 44 percent said the united
