u. k. ministers. apologize saying they feel deeply shapes after over a review reveals that thousands of rape victims don't seek justice, a victim a support group. so say it's too little too late to know, i don't think an apology alone is enough to heal to her. the victim survivors who have been so terribly let down. devastating floods leave one post and dead, and 18 injured in. southern rushes, crimea, province. authorities have declared a state of emergency with 1000 evacuated from their homes. ah, well, there's already lots to talk about here on this saturday program on our team to national welcome to your news. i will receive show america is celebrating its june 10th holiday marking the end of slavery in the country. but its supreme court has
7:02 am
also just rule that forced child labor in africa is not something us chocolate giants are culpable for which critics. a smacks off of policy as ilia 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 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
7:03 am
be sued for child slavery. this ruling has disturbing implications. the future victims of human rights abuses the king justice against businesses in u. s. cords. this ruling also says a dangerous precedence, giving corporations impunity for 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 the been traffic 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
7:04 am
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 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 prevents it expects even more emotional words from them,
7:05 am
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 celebrating the end of slavery, but american companies 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 was in 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
7:06 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 that traditional names on official documents as part of a government effort to atone for decades of forced assimilation. we spoke to indigenous human rights activists. laura lay williams who told us it in no way makes up for the atrocities the government has 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
7:07 am
kids were taken to residential school. they actually were numbered. they, they had to go by numbers, just one 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 their culture, to take her name, to try to kill our candidates genocide against their 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. but this is a wall wall step. you know, a lot of our language is, are actually dying. on monday, the canadian government announced that in digital names can be used in their original spelling for identity and immigration documents. that is 6 years after
7:08 am
a report by the truth and reconciliation commission condemned a cultural genocide of the schools and cult, greater inclusion and recognition of the dignity of indigenous people. while the move comes off to the grim discovery of hundreds of unmarked graves at the sight of a former residential school, it shows more light on canadian colonial past. such schools were a part of a country wide network aimed at assimilating indigenous children by removing them from their communities and forbidding them to perform cultural practices. a physical and emotional abuse. we understand where prominent various canadian residential schools. 2 8 on. 8 the. 8 8 day you will see it was good. it wasn't due today. it was going to be the target, the victim. you know, you weren't going to have to start anything humiliation. he learned to cry anymore
7:09 am
. get harder. and yet you learn to shut down. oh me. i couldn't talk 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. they threatened with the strapping you spoke it. within a year, i lost all of it. so i used to him, i tried to trying to print school 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, he 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. laura williams again says little has actually changed with
7:10 am
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 of 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, 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, is there so much systemic racism against ash del 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,
7:11 am
as an in business woman we're still at the bottom here in canada and either our own land, solar systemic racism has to stop you. k ministers of expressed shame over falling rape with conviction rates. and you review reveal that thousands of victims were denied. justice officials have apologized though activists say that's just not enough. 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 it's, the real proof of the pudding will be in the eating. you know, the real difference is, will come if and when the proper measures are taken to improve the situation for
7:12 am
the future. the long awaited review revealed more than half of rate victims drop their case, many out of fear and only 1.5 percent of them see that suspected a taco charged. the review blames the failure on intrusive police probes court and investigative delays, unquote. inconsistent support for survivors. the government says police and prosecutors will be school to raise the number of cases reaching courts. a school college will measure the quality of the work and whether victims were satisfied. the 1st results will be published by december. however, katie russell, again says short term measures. just don't cut it. 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,
7:13 am
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, very many lives have been seriously impacted negatively, impacted by sexual violence and abuse in recent years and, and this apology. and this recognition in this review comes after very many years of campaigning for districts in crimea had declared a state of emergency image, severe flooding, which has left at least one person dead, and many more injured. almost 2000 people have now been evacuated from their homes by the emergency services. the with me
7:14 am
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 yelled for some towns. in fact small towns around them. they have been well quite apocalyptic. just told districts of the town submerged you to the water cause 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, excused upon and well right now. thousands of emergency work is working, in fact, are trying to restore to bring back to life,
7:15 am
to bring back to some stability these areas. the governance of crimea has visited both of the major towns affected worst by the flooding. he is what he had to say to pick up. 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 touch. and unfortunately, the water is still up to the waist. 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 peninsula wide, but a very large scale of emergency declared here again, thousands of rescue work as well tirelessly over night trying to bring these areas back into some operational state and the while the, the, this is just another problem,
7:16 am
mounting on top of the people's shoulders here in crimea because previously people, he 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 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 in y'all to us. unfortunately, this happened there. the lord god gave them too much water in one gulp. 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.
7:17 am
for people have died off through short range aircraft crash, landed in the camp over region and central russia. the plane we understand was carrying a group of sky divers. a 5 more passengers are now in a critical condition. another 10 injured a 2 pilots and 2 skydiving instructors were among the dead. according to local officials, the pilots reported an engine failure shortly before the accident. are still a few hair on r. c. a berlins, senate adults are controversial bill, not making it mandatory for buildings to be equipped with solar panels. they do not come cheap. we asked berlin is what they think of the idea for a very short break. ah,
7:18 am
financial survival guide. i don't buy a, i buy futures. that's not an almost friday at the last time i buy it for the future. so price. watch kaiser report. join me every thursday on the alex simon show. and i'll be speaking to guess in the world, the politics sport, business. i'm show business. i'll see you then me shaped by those in me there's think we dare to ask me
7:19 am
ah, if something stories there on the international and this a damning u. s. senate report revealing details of the systematic intelligence and communications failures leading up to the capitol hill siege in january and found the law enforcement agencies including the f b. i had intelligence about a possible attack one month before, but dismissed it as not credible. kayla bolton picked up the story. its 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 in to this? well, there's a theory floating around that the f b,
7:20 am
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 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 january the 6th with 1st amendments, protected speech of limits of 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,
7:21 am
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 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 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 terrorist groups and i've gotten this. dawn could expand their reach off the u. s. pull out and pose an
7:22 am
international threat. the issue was raised at a senate here. how would you rate the, the likelihood of international terrorist organizations like ok to an ice is 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 dissolution of the ap can security for that risk would obviously increase. but right now, i'd say medium in a about 2 years or so ahead of the pull out there are already signed. so the us back to afghan government is losing control of the country. the taliban has reportedly captured at least $27.00 districts since the beginning of last month.
7:23 am
the medicine group was valid to take the entire country and establish an islamic emerett of afghanistan. now, back in april, president biden pledge to remove all us troops by september. the 11th that was pushed back from may, the 1st the earlier deadline talked about by trumping the taliban. in march, the pentagon had promised that the us would not undertake a hasty or disorderly withdrawal. that everything would depend on the security situation in the country. and he will activist brian becker things. there are some senior figures in washington who are looking for a pretext to stay. we see here is 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
7:24 am
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 us really weaken for so obviously the military again. yes. there might be a need to continue us military presence. yes there's, and we m say 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 and those who say, look, it's time to end the war. the berlin senate has passed at the solar act requiring the installation of solar power panels on buildings, roofs. the law applies to new buildings as well as existing ones in case of roof renovation as part of a plan to cover a quarter of the capitals electrical needs with solar energy by 2050. the law is set to apply from 2023 and includes hefty penalties for violations. but it's faced
7:25 am
a barrage of criticism, both from the opposition as well as from the construction community. the present law will act as a brake, especially in the field for innovation. many home owners will think twice about where the roof innovation is actually necessary, as they will be left with additional costs. berlin's rolling left rolling coalition . however, it says that the, the lobel take a big step towards climate neutrality. by tapping into the potential sit he roofs of emphasize the solar act will also create future proof jobs, especially in the areas of planning and craft. though opinion on the streets of berlin is apparently rather 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, personally, i'm against it because i don't support and the permanent regulations related to the environment and nicole politics and not ready to pay more as long as they're
7:26 am
a new regulations connected to green and necco politics in germany. we should be getting some money initially, but i think eventually we will be better off by investing enough future. maybe they should, they should be solving assistance 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 recouped, which is a good thing. in principle, i support the idea, but i do politicians are always coming up with things that hardly make any sense. and there are some you saturday stories for this hour here on our team to national life. moscow nearly half past 2 saturday afternoon. thank you for joining us. we are back to the
7:27 am
7:28 am
we can do better, we should be better. everyone is contributing each in their own way, but we also know that this crisis will not go on forever. the challenges wait for the response has been massive. so many good people are helping us. it makes it feel very proud that we need together in the moon the imax kaiser. this is the kaiser report. we're going to talk
7:29 am
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 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 tops,
7:30 am
8 trillion dollars for the 1st time. this is fed data and this is a sort of thing that paul tutor jones is going on to the mainstream financial press to talk about as that it's not honest and he's afraid of it. the volcanic eruption of inflation, you might say good. my manager speaks with a great deal of can session because it helps execution doing trade, talking with traders, you need to get your point across quick get orders and fast. so a politics. john speaks with syntax that is compressed and he says something very simple and yet speaks volumes. he said look, the fed isn't doing anything about these rising prices for stuff. yeah. okay. so that is just saying very clearly that the fed causes inflation. the fed not going to stop inflation any scared into safe havens principally bitcoin.
