2:01 pm
our cultures to take name u k. government ministers say they feel deeply ashamed after review reveals that thousands of victims and don't see just this victim support group. say the findings are too little to say. no, i don't think an apology alone is enough to heal to her of the victims and survivors who have been so terribly let down and devastating floods. leave one person dead and 18 injured in. southern rushes, crimea, province of ortiz, declare a state of the i live for moscow. this is art. see, my name's you know, neil on 30 minutes of news and views start. no america celebrating its new june 10th holiday marking the end of slavery and dean. $65.00,
2:02 pm
but the supreme court has also just ruled that force child labor in africa is not something us food giant or culpable for it, but tranquil can tell us more. question is slavery still something that troubles america today? 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,
2:03 pm
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. the future victims of human rights abuses seeking justice against businesses in u. s. cords. this ruling also sets a dangerous precedence, giving corporations impunity of a profiting from human rights abuses. it's an old and disturbing story that we've already reported on a group of african men demanded compensation from us corporations that get their cocoa in africa. they claimed they've been traffic from one country to another as children, and forced to work as slaves and horrendous conditions on coca farms. the activists are sounding the alarm over the ivory coast. a fact to think of the country exports more cocoa than anyone else on the planet now providing about 2 thirds of the world's supply. which makes it very likely that the regular chocolate bar you eat
2:04 pm
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 char laborers, e 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 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
2:05 pm
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 celebrating 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 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
2:06 pm
they don't. and this is one of many ways in which the u. s. is hypocritical on the issue of human rights by. c allowing corporations have carte blanche to practise 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 their traditional names, all official documents. it's part of a government effort to atone for decades of forced assimilation. we spoke to indigenous human rights activists, laura les williams, who told us it in no way makes up for the atrocities the state 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,
2:07 pm
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, you know, it was the government who made the decision to take the kids to take our languages to take our culture, to take our name, to try to kill our candidates genocide against their 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 well, on monday, the canadian government and non start indigenous names can be used in their
2:08 pm
original spelling for identity and immigration documents. that's 6 years after a report by the truth and reconciliation commission condemned so name, cultural genocide schools. the move also comes after the grim discovery of hundreds of on marked graves of the size of a former residential school. those institutions were a part of a country wide network aimed at assimilating 1st nations children by removing them from their communities. 2 8 8 8 the. 8 do you mean sincere? did you have was it wasn't you today? it was going to be the target, the victim. you know, you weren't going to have to suffer anything humiliation he learned to cry anymore
2:09 pm
. get harder. and yet you learn to shut down. oh the 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 us with a strapping. you spoke it. within a year, i lost all. ah, i used to him i dreamt occurring 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 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 a very long time until i was 16. i held everything in and didn't tell anybody for 20 years. laura les williams again,
2:10 pm
phase little has changed with indigenous people still exposed to what she said is systemic racism in canada. 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 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. there's 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, as an in business woman,
2:11 pm
we're still at the bottom here in canada. and these are our own lands. so the systemic racism has to stop. the british government minister is described to decline and rape, a conviction rates, a shameful after a review, find thousands of victims. i've been denied justice officials have apologized, but activists say that'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
2:12 pm
taken to improve the situation for the future. the long awaited review reveals more than half of rape victims drop. there are cases and only one and a half percent of them see they're suspected at tucker, charged. the prob, blamed intrusive police questioning an excessively long court process. the government now introduced a score card system to assess the speed with which cases get to court and whether victims are satisfied with the outcome. the 1st results will be published by december. now that's been criticized by many who say it may simply lead to quote, as being filled and potentially innocent meal defendants being prosecuted. kitty russell, again say short term mercer's, are not going to solve the issue. 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
2:13 pm
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 a situation. nobody doubts that very, very many lives have been seriously impacted negatively, impacted by sexual violence and abuse. in recent years and in this apology, and this recognition in this review comes after very many years of campaigning. the russian region of crimea has declared a state of emergency amid severe flooding, which is left at least one person dead and 18 others injured. almost 2000 people have been if i q weighted from their homes, are teeth eager to tell of report snow from premier. despite all efforts to this city of y'all is taking baby steps towards containing the consequences of the flood . there's only so much that can be done. but having said that,
2:14 pm
the progress is still evidence. yes, this is supposed to be a st. yes. houses up the street. people can't live in anymore, but literally hours ago, or rather, a couple of days ago cause we're floating here as if they were both. but the situation here is critical. the governor of the crime in peninsula has been in this city throughout the whole day. this is how he has described the situation here and the efforts that the government is taking to contain the consequences of the flood to grow up for peace care. the situation is disastrous in many homes. 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 so that no one is left to faces, crisis alone. the situation is very serious, both emergency ministry workers and the army right now helping out,
2:15 pm
taking thought in relief efforts. but the situation is made even worse by the fact that this city and this region, it has lately suffered from a shortage of clean water of drinkable possible water. and this is how the ukrainian side coleman said. this is what they had to say one, this city was overcome by a downpour 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 in y'all to us. unfortunately, this happened there. the lord god gave them too much water in one goal. yeah, some bitter sack isn't here at the expense of the people that tragedy him. they by the way, have been telling me that they don't remember anything of this scale not even close by the way, compared to what is happening right now. and the city is also bracing for more just in case more rain is to come in the spring you in the program now to

2:17 pm
a month warning of the capitol hill, riots back in january, but failed to some story and more just after the break. ah, i this is your media a reflection of reality in a world transformed what will make you feel safer type relation to community you going the right way? where are you being somewhere? which direction? what is truth? what is in a world corrupted?
2:18 pm
you need to defend the join us in the depths or remain in the shallows. ah, we're going to talk a lot about wild energy and also use volcanoes as a metaphor to elucidate. so many of the big trends happening in geo politics and finance ah, well, let's start the program back here in moscow or at least 4 people have been injured in a large fire that blaze and gulf a fireworks warehouse. and was reportedly started by an electrical short circuit south sky. a taylor was at the scene earlier was a huge plume of smoke, seemingly emanating from the center of moscow. not just
2:19 pm
a couple of 100 meters away from loosen key station, which one of the biggest port stadium in the capitol around 81000 seats. that was a conflicting report as to what was actually happening. once all said. c that it was a warehouse that caught fire from a firewall shop near by, but then it turns out that it was indeed a pi were tech next warehouse with apparently 15 tons of inflammable. but then that fire jumped on to the neighboring buildings to we also didn't really understand how serious, serious it was until the emergency status that they lifted the danger rating from 2 to 3, which is actually the maximum. what i can tell you is from the time that i've been here, i can see that all the way down. you can see all the way down. we got fi, runjun, we've got police cars, the stretch, and also not direction towards the bridge. but there are also a number of ambulances to the all confirmed reports from the mayor's office, i believe, saying that full people, about 3 firemen and one employee of the warehouse have been injured. they,
2:20 pm
of course, immediately the medical personnel responded to that the site has apparently been contained. we are looking at around 500 square meters, least 3 helicopters have been so clean overhead that coming you can see that that bringing water to try and dump and the flames and they don't look like lot. but i'll tell you, i was funny about they make a head of a noise, but they also carry around 5 tons of water. so they have been thought cooking for a couple of hours now, doing everything that they can to bring those up flames down. what i'll also say is that the smoke is actually behind these trees to my left. you can't see it. they've done considerable, made considerable progress since i've been here. but when i 1st arrived at the scene, it was honestly blowing everywhere all the way down to the street level. and it was such a strong smell. i was standing that was basically and gulped in. it almost felt a bit like i was in the middle of a sandstorm and i could feel it in my hat and in my clothes,
2:21 pm
the smell was also quite specific. it wasn't like the smell of a bomb thought. you could tell that those are the smell that you got from spot clothes. you could tell, but that was something from the fireworks. so that's the way it's looking at the moment. still a lot of activity out the site more and more information coming out. but i can tell you that they pushed everyone back, that there was a crowd behind the camera that's still gathering, still taking photos of people, stopping, trying to get home at the moment. everything is still shut off. the emergency service is watching the fire and all that you're watching at toil asleep so that people are just stepping back and letting all these people do guy walk right now that you can see the helicopter. going to do the next for tom before us about the situation at the moment, but i'm still more details to come out in the coming office hours. the u. s. police, along with the f. b. i apparently had prior of warning of the capital riots in january, but failed to take preemptive action. that is the dumbing conclusion of
2:22 pm
a set of inquiry. 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, 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
2:23 pm
january. the 6th was 1st amendments, protected speech of limits of credibility and acknowledge areas for improvement in handling and dissemination of threat information from social media and online message boards to enhance law enforcement and intelligence agencies abilities to counter the threats. now we find out they did indeed have lots of information. they just didn't think it was relevant. the report goes on the united states, capital police, again, gathering information about the events plan for jenny, the 6 in mid december 2020, through open source collection tips from the public and other sources. the u. s. c . p. intelligence and in the agency coordination division. knew about social media posts calling for violence at the capital on july, the 6th, 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
2:24 pm
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. get another big developer today around stop judge ibrahim easy has won the countries presidential election with a residing 62 percent of the votes. after being congratulated by the outgoing liter her son roo honey, the new president elect pledge to earn the people's trust trying to tax you with the corporation of mister ro, honey, and all members of the government, i will use the opinions, experience, and reports of our esteemed ministers, i thank god for the people's trust and i hope i can justify to the people's confidence votes and kindness. you are my term enough to manage rising, who served until now as chief justice over run,

2:26 pm
by their side of the bargain. and in response to the iranians would do the same. but it's american arrogance. okay, to germany, where the berlin senate sounds, purpose, solar act requiring the installation of solar power puzzles on the roofs and buildings. the law applies to all new buildings, as well as existing ones in need of a riff renovation. the german capital is aiming to supply a quarter of electricity needs with social power, but 2050. the new bill takes effect in 2023 and includes hefty penalties for violations. but it's faced the barrage of criticism from construction firms. present law will act as a brake, 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. berlin's ruling left wing coalition.

whoever sees the law will take a big step towards climate neutrality, the emphasize the sooner i will also create future proof jobs, especially in the areas of plowing and craft. we gauge reaction on the streets of brother. not going because it's a good way to help protect the climate. and if we can use our roof services to do that, it's a good idea. you can use them yourself to reduce your own electricity bill. sort of personally, i'm against it because i don't support the permanent regulations related to the environment and nicole politics and not ready to pay more, as long as they're a new regulations connected to green and necco politics in germany. that we should be getting 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 baby to 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
2:28 pm
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 for up to the moment developments to give her twitter page a follow, well worth some of your scrolling time, this weekend fly for moscow. this is hard to me. ah, i use
